Chapter 20 Going deep into the mine

There are so many miners in the mine cave, and they are still focused and indifferent to mining. He Ming's running wildly did not attract any attention, and no one even looked back at him. Why did he run like this? Is there any danger? No one cares about whether there is any danger.

All of this made He Ming run out of the mine extremely uncomfortable. After running out of the hole, he drank the water in the water bag in one go, but he was still dry. Based on his impression, he found a pond on the side of the road and poured himself a lot of ice water before calming down.

His luck was pretty good. When he arrived at the Beech City Gate, the huge sound of closing the city gate had just sounded, and He Mingde entered the city before the city gate was closed.

The ore was lost, and he also lost his pickaxe and a baggage, and he could not get the evidence. He Ming felt a strange impulse, but he was still trying to control himself. He drank a stomach of snow water, and after a day of fatigue, he dragged his uncomfortable steps, and rushed to Lord Wang's mansion.

Lord Wang's work was over for the day. Everyone in the mansion was cleaning up and preparing to close the door. Seeing He Ming sweating profusely and looking strange, He Ming rushed over. The servant quickly went to inform Lord Wang. Lord Wang walked out of the inner room and was shocked to see He Ming like this. He hurriedly ordered the servant to pour water and get a towel, while asking He Ming to calm down and ask clearly what happened.

"What's wrong? He Ming, what happened?"

After organizing some language, He Ming said, "I went to the mine."

"Mine? The mine has been affected by the evil demons of the orcs? I have not received a report from the mine recently, but there are indeed some rumors there. What happened?" Seeing that He Ming was silent again, Lord Wang asked with some concern.

He Ming finally calmed down. After carefully sorting out the language, he said to Lord Wang: "Some people raised the price of mine collection and lured more people to the mine. They had dug the depths of the mine and crawled out of the mine."

Lord Wang opened his eyes wide: "Who is so bold? What is their purpose? Is this so great?"

He Ming said: "I couldn't bring back the ore and didn't find the place where they said they were privately harvesting ore. But there was a group of people in the mine who killed and robbed the ore."

He quickly described the appearance of the man in the territory to Wang Renren, and at the same time he explained that he was under the torch and could not make sure to see clearly.

Lord Wang touched and pondered, and murmured: "Is this person impossible? There is no reason for their family to do such things. They always have to have some plans to do it."

Then he immediately asked He Ming with concern: "Those who attacked you did not hurt you, right? I'll ask a doctor to help you see."

He Ming said: "Thank you, Lord Wang for your concern, He Ming is unscathed."

Lord Wang closed his eyes and thought for a while, then said, "He Ming, there are indeed many strange places recently, and the news from the city lord and me may have been blocked. Since I no longer manage folk things, the news has been blocked too seriously. We are completely unaware of the news you brought back, which is not normal.

"I feel that there are probably people who are making trouble, but I can't tell you why, so this time, I have to work hard to help me go to the mine and bring more evidence.

"By the way, the city lord has contacted professionals in the devil eradication. They are making some preparations and will set out to deal with the evil demons deep in the mine. This time you go and explore the situation deep in the mine. Go with Marriott and the others, be careful!"

He Ming had completely calmed down. From Lord Wang's tone, he realized that there were still many important things to do. He bowed to Lord Wang and said, "Then I will prepare for it. I will go to the mine with Marriott and the others tomorrow. Thank you for your concern, I will try my best to pay attention to our safety."

Lord Wang said: "Okay, you come here just tomorrow. I will ask Marriott and others to come to me to wait for you. Let's have a good rest today."

After He Ming said goodbye, he returned to his residence. He Ming did not rest well this night. The cold snow water stimulated his body. If he weren't strong, he would have been seriously ill. However, after the night passed, He Ming was in a very good condition and didn't spend money to buy the warm quilt.

After a little preparation, he went straight to Lord Wang's mansion, where Marriott, Tao Han and Yan Yi were already waiting for him. Marriott replaced with a pair of heavy armor with more complete protection and heavier protection, and Tao Han and Yan Yi also replaced with better protection.

Lord Wang had already assigned the task to them, so after communication, they immediately set out toward the mine. On the way, He Ming carefully introduced the characteristics of the zombies, which were not destroyed by the head, and the situation of the robbers. Marriott also told He Ming: In addition to these, they also need to evaluate the threats that more zombies in the mine.

After entering the mine, He Ming and the others realized that there were more people in the mine now than before. The terrible rumors gradually spread did not affect people's enthusiasm for entering the mine for money. Even if there was obviously no ore at the entrance, many people were working hard to mine there.

He Ming and his group continued to go deep into the mine, while collecting zombie data more and more accurately, and at the same time, they could also figure out how deep the mine had been dug.

They saw that many people continued to go deeper like them. Now the more submerged mines can no longer be dug out of the mineral ore. They had to go deeper to dig better ore. The dark mine cave did not feel like they went deeper and there was still a digging passage inside. But no one continued to go in. He Ming asked people close to here and learned that mining and transportation were enough to reach here, so there was no need to go deeper.

"The mining people no longer go deeper, but this passage was dug deeper, and the city lord also ordered that it be prohibited from digging deeper. What exactly are these people who have been digging deeper?" He Ming asked Marriott and the others.

Marriott still said indifferently: "The city lord has issued so many orders, so how many people will strictly abide by it. Instead of worrying about these things now, we should explore it more in-depth."

He Ming nodded, and the four of them continued to ignite torches and walked deeper. Judging from the traces, someone had walked through this passage recently. However, there were no people now, and the four of them didn't know where they dug it.

At this moment, several figures staggered up from the darkness. Although the visibility of the torches was limited, He Ming still saw from the new and old levels of their clothes that these zombies were the miners who died in Beech City recently!!

Yan Yi raised his hand and blew a big fireball towards the front. In the dazzling firelight, Marriott and others could clearly see the faces of these zombies: their visible flesh became extremely dark, their bodies were only white, and they were walking towards this side indiscipline. Compared with the orc skeleton, they knew how to fight, these zombies had only instincts left.

The fireball made a wailing sound on the zombie's chest, and a pungent stench could come out of the air, and the zombies looked unsuitable for burning. The terrible fire light went out soon. Tao Han shouted: "Be careful, these zombies have corpse poison on their bodies, and the air cast during the burn also has a certain corpse poison. Once injured, we will be infected!"

The four of them took action. They were all people who had been through the battlefield for a long time. These staggering miners and zombies moved slowly. They would suddenly increase their speed slightly only when they approached to a certain level. So He Ming decided to let Tao Han and Yan Yi retain their mana and let the two soldiers kill them.

Marriott was extremely powerful and full of momentum. Unlike He Ming who avoided the attack of zombies and found an opportunity to assassinate, he roared directly and slashed at the zombies with an axe. The zombies that could only attack with their arms could not attack Marriott, so they were split open by Shura, who had the attacking sword energy, and smashed them directly into the land.

He Ming's extremely sharp assassination swordsmanship didn't take much time to eliminate two of them. They began to investigate these zombies.

Marriott said: "These guys said they were zombies, and I felt more like a stone! I cut them over and numb my hands, and I didn't feel like flesh and blood at all!"

Tao Han squatted down next to a zombie, felt the breath on it and said: "They are monsters that are affected by the power of darkness. After their heads are destroyed, they lose the center of their movement, but they are not completely dead."

At this time, Yan Yi spoke: "Everyone, besides these, I suggest that when we continue moving forward, we must be energetic. Look, these zombies lying on the ground a little further away are no different from a black stone. If they didn't get up early, but suddenly burst out when we walked over, it would be very dangerous."

He Ming said: "Yes, especially these zombies also carry highly contagious corpse poisons, so everyone should be extra careful every step."

The group of people set off torches and slowed down and continued to move towards the depths of the mine. Fortunately, there were not many zombies along the way, and the four of them were very careful, and there was no sudden attack by zombies.

After walking a little further, they realized that there were no traces of new mining here. The passage from deeper here was the traces of new mining. That is to say, when we arrived here, the people who dig deeper were no longer for mining, but just to dig deeper.

Marriott's angry voice came out: "What kind of good thing is this a bastard doing? The city lord clearly issued an order to prohibit digging deeper!"

Not many people will strictly abide by the orders of the city lord you said just now, He Ming said in his heart.

Tao Han said to Marriott: "Don't worry, let's investigate what we are seeing now first. This mission is to investigate these situations."
