Chapter 125: The Mine Disaster (Part II)

The four of them pushed the minecart back to the bottom of the mine, but nothing happened in the middle, Zhang Yuan went up and down to look around twice, but he didn't find anything unusual in the mine. If there's any place to do it, it's in the mining area at the bottom of the tunnel.

"You dig first, I'll go around." Zhang Yuan said hello to the third junior brother, and then walked around with his hoe.

Along the way, Zhang Yuan walked to a minecart and took a look inside, some of the minecarts were almost full, and it seemed that there were many people who dug fast. Zhang Yuan wiped it on his mouth with the back of his hand, and there was still a feeling of water on his lips, he almost drank it all with the bowl just now, but remembered that the three younger brothers were still watching from the side, so he put the bowl down again.

Zhang Yuan looked along the mine road in the mining area, and the rock walls were full of dark blue ore, and there was nothing unusual. The tunnel here is much lower than the passage below, and the ceiling can be seen at a glance, and you can see above the beams when you jump.

"Hey, Zhang Yuan, what are you doing here?" As soon as Zhang Yuan turned a corner, he took a look at Xiao Xuan, both of them were stunned, but soon Xiao Xuan looked at the pickaxe on Zhang Yuan's shoulder and asked.

Zhang Yuan didn't expect Xiao Xuan to remember his name, but he calmly responded to Xiao Xuan's question: "I, I'll come to mine, is there any problem?" ”

"Aren't you with a few other people, what about them?" Xiao Xuan then asked.

No, you're really serious, you have to chase after it. Zhang Yuan touched his forehead with his free hand and replied, "The three of them have gone to dig separately, I didn't come over and saw that there were others digging in many positions, so I thought about walking ahead to see if there was any vacant space." ”

"Oh, okay, there's a vacant spot over there, you can go over there." Xiao Xuan pointed in a direction, and Zhang Yuan quickly ran over.

Xiao Xuan saw that Zhang Yuan ran away without looking back, so he stood in place and shouted at Zhang Yuan's back: "Don't be lazy!" ”

Damn, I can't dig it up, why am I not lazy? Zhang Yuan cursed secretly in his heart, walked forward to the position pointed by Xiao Xuan, found that there was a turn in front of him, and scurried over. After walking a little further, Zhang Yuan saw the minecarts placed there horizontally and vertically, and it seemed that he had walked back to the bottom of the mine.

"It's still working, and it's coming back around." Zhang Yuan muttered, turned his head and saw that in the mine where he was the first to hang out, there was a person walking out, who else could it be if it was not Xiao Xuan. Zhang Yuan cursed again in his heart, so he had to turn around and go back the way he came.

"Doesn't look like there's anything wrong here." The spirit of the plug-in said to Zhang Yuan, who was fishing everywhere.

Zhang Yuan took off the hoe on his shoulder, threw it to the side, sat down with his buttocks, leaned his back against the wall and said, "It looks like this, I don't know if I haven't finished all the mines." You say, I can't be really suspicious, but you know what, my gut tells me that they are doing it to me today. ”

The Plug-in Spirit didn't refute Zhang Yuan's intuition, but replied: "Then let's think about what else has been overlooked, since you firmly believe that the other party will do it today, let's find out the clues they left behind." ”

"Well, I always wonder if it's wrong with our perspective. If you think about it, even from our point of view, it's a matter of life and death, and if I don't handle it well, I'm going to die here. But in their eyes, this is probably just a small thing that they have done countless times, and there is no need to bother at all. Zhang Yuan held his chin and said contemplatively.

"Makes sense, what do you mean?"

"I think they might just find one or two people to do it to me, it could be other prisoners, it could be any of the three of them, and of course it can't be ruled out that the overseer poisoned the water." Zhang Yuan's heart was cold when he thought of this, and he drank the water without much thought about it just now, and could only pray that the other party would not use poisoning to do it.

"That's a pity, just now our attention was thinking about what the other party would do in the mine, and we didn't pay attention to the situation in the team at all. If someone had sneaked into the queue at that time, we wouldn't have known. ”

"Poof." Zhang Yuan really wanted to squirt the spirit of the plug-in on his face, he only hated that this guy had no substance, and now saliva is still quite precious to Zhang Yuan, "Are you concerned about this, I just drank water that may be poisonous, and I have already drunk it!" What if it's poisonous? ”

"Didn't you say it was possible? It's not really poisonous, and it's not me who drinks the water. But it's true that you don't even drink the porridge that you peed on, and you definitely don't dare to drink the poisonous water. As the spirit of the plug-in spoke, a figure appeared in Zhang Yuan's head with his hands on his chest and an expression that didn't care about himself.

"Damn, forget it, I won't tell you, I'll see how they dig up." Zhang Yuan stood up and went to find the minecart where he and others loaded ore first. As soon as he got out of the mine, Zhang Yuan saw that many teams had begun to push the minecart up, and Xiao Xuan was standing aside and directing the minecart to go up.

The track facilities here are relatively simple, with only two linear tracks, one up and one down. All minecarts that go up have to go through a road, but not everyone can push the minecart into the track as easily as Shen Cheng, which causes everyone to be stuck at the end of the slide, and some can't succeed two or three times, and even need Xiao Xuan's help.

Zhang Yuan couldn't help but recall Shen Cheng's actions at that time, only to see that Tietou and Tai Meng both let go of their hands, and Shen Cheng maintained the speed of the minecart alone, following behind and trotting to control. Zhang Yuan was also standing by watching the professionals operate at that time, only to see Shen Ying taking light steps, as if he was jumping and walking, directly pushing the minecart onto the track.

It seems that Shen Cheng will not be a potential bad person, and he should be a prisoner who is so skilled that he works seriously, that is, he doesn't like to talk much, which makes people feel bad. Zhang Yuan touched his chin and pondered, thus ruling out the suspicion of Shen Cheng, so there are Tai Meng and Tietou next, will they be the ones who pretend to be close to him?

"Eh, Boss, Boss!" Zhang Yuan was thinking about it, and Tai Meng's voice came from the side. Zhang Yuan looked back and saw that his little brother was running towards him.

"Why are you here? Alas, what about your mine hoe? Zhang Yuan looked at Tai Meng's free hands and asked suspiciously.

"Oh, I just moved the ore here, and I happened to see you here, boss, so I came over. Boss, are you alright? Tai Meng seemed to notice that Zhang Yuan's tone was wrong, and tentatively added a sentence later.

Zhang Yuan didn't want Tai Meng to hear that he was doubting him just now, shook his head, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm just thinking about things." You also know that I sometimes go in a daze, it's okay, you go and get busy first...... Forget it, I'll go with you. ”

"Okay, boss."

Tai Meng turned around and walked towards the mining place, while Zhang Yuan followed behind Tai Meng at a distance. After following for less than two steps, Zhang Yuan's heart suddenly moved, and he asked, "Didn't you work in the army before, why did you still open your mouth Okay, I should say it's right?" ”

"Well, bad, boss, don't mention it. Our armor general is just a bit of an idle job, and he doesn't need to be as serious as a real soldier at all. Otherwise, I wouldn't have escaped when they said they were going to let us go into battle. Alas, I shouldn't have been home, and when I did, I was caught and sent here. As he spoke, he hung his head and became depressed, not knowing if he was doing it.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this......" Zhang Yuan looked at Tai Meng's appearance, and also wanted him not to say anything, but as soon as he was halfway through his words, there was a sudden change in the mine.

I heard a loud rumbling sound like thunder suddenly coming from above the mine, mixed with the shouting of humans. Zhang Yuan had a string in his heart, and immediately turned his head to look at the place where the sound came from, only to see that the people pushing the minecart above jumped away on both sides, as if they were dodging something, and the minecart that they let go of was like a wild horse that had escaped, rushing directly down.

Wait a minute, the minecart, the track, there can't be anything wrong with the minecart, but you can't move too much on the four wheels, so it can only be the track. That's right, it's the track, Zhang Yuan looked at the track under his feet, it was easy to start here, he could bury as many things as he wanted under the track, and he didn't even notice it.

"Boss, be careful!" Tai Meng bumped into him from the side and fell to the side with Zhang Yuan in his arms. Zhang Yuan fell on top of Tai Meng, his eyes still staring at the track, and the minecarts that rushed down from above were not one or two, but a long row, pushing one by one and crashing down.

Xiao Xuan was also stupid at this time, looking blankly at the people above who fell to the ground because of dodging, and the unstoppable minecart, unable to make any moves.

"Wow!" In the midst of this thunder, such a small sound should have been ignored, but everyone's minds were seized by the source of this sound. To be precise, it's not just the sound, it's the light that accompanies it, a little spark splattering out from the bottom of the topmost minecart.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment, and the person lying on the side of the track was lying on his side, his eyes wide open reflecting the graceful and light dancing fire spirit in midair. In the next second, the concept of time once again covered the bottom of the mine, and the long dragon with blue light continued to roar and crash downward, but the long dragon did not spew dragon breath from its head, but dragged a smart red light on its tail, leaving a leaping flame along the way.

Flame.

"This is an electric pyroxene mine, and active water and fire elements are strictly prohibited in the mine, including but not limited to drinking water, open flames, elemental minerals, etc." Xiao Xuan stood in place, silently repeating the instructions he had memorized to go to the mine, the appearance of an open flame means danger, and the occurrence of such a large-scale fire means......

Before everyone could wait for the sight of the minecart hitting the bottom, the mine was filled with an even louder noise. Before his consciousness faded, Zhang Yuan looked up and saw countless blue ores flying in the air, dissolving into the red background board like beautiful snowflakes.

"Boom!"
