Chapter 109

Lu Miao walked slowly through the mine with two children who were younger than him.

Just as he had thought before coming down, the air flow under the mine was slow and sweltering.

After all, mining is a physical job, and they are now wearing almost completely enclosed protective clothing. After mining for a while, Lu Miao was already sweating profusely. It felt like the clothes inside the protective clothing were soaked through and stuck to his body.

, the little bit of wind that is brought up by the action room door makes people extremely greedy.

Lu Miao's hair was soaked with sweat and stuck to his forehead. Every breath of air he exhaled left a deep and shallow white mist on the mask, making his face, which didn't look good at all, become paler and paler.

Like fragile porcelain.

The two children couldn't help but look at Lu Miao a few more times.

There were many new faces gathered in the front row of Lu Miao's screen. They were all the former top bosses who had just been released from the void space gate of order. At this time, they also looked at the fair and thin figure on the screen and fell into a long silence.

Just looking at him like this, I can't imagine that this is actually a super rookie king who has the ability to kill the top of the standings despite huge differences in skills, props, and panels.

Even if Qiu Tianhao is only a B-level player and cannot compare with their top spot at that time, he can still enter the top 200 of the rankings.

As for people like Lu Miao, according to their concept, it would be very difficult to even survive in the dungeon.

It doesn't look like a super rookie king at all. It feels more like the type that monsters and bosses will let him go because he is too beautiful, or even give him props to protect him.

——This kind of example has not happened before.

As if recalling something long ago, strange expressions appeared on the faces of these ancient bosses.

--

More than an hour had passed since they arrived, but the results were even less optimistic than Lu Miao had calculated before.

Lu Miao collected the ores collected by the three people together, and the system prompt popped up:

[The progress of the main mission has been refreshed, 10 kilograms of ore have been mined, and the current mission progress is: 7%]

7% of 10 kilograms, which means that in more than an hour, the three of them together only mined 700g of ore.

This is only about 10g more than Lu Miao's previous estimate, and this was still in the early stages, when there were more ores and it was easier to mine.

One can imagine how difficult the next work will be.

If this continues, the physical exertion is huge, and you may not be able to survive until the end of working hours before you faint from dehydration, not to mention you have to compete with other miners for mining.

After Lu Miao and the others discovered that the output had become low, they decisively chose to change places. However, after walking for a long time, they found a place with relatively few people and started mining.

Although Liu Mo and the strange player who looked exactly the same didn't like to talk, their occasional few words were very insightful and revealed a lot of information.

For example, Lu Miao learned from their mouths that the mine they came down from was nearby, and they met miners coming down from other mines on the way there. This meant that the density of people in the mine was very high, and they wanted to find a place where there was no one at all.

It is almost a wishful thinking to mine mines anywhere.

So I can only settle for the next best thing and find a place where there are not so many people to pick up the slack.

Or...robbery.

Lu Miao's physical strength was depleted very quickly. He stopped, found a place without ores, carefully opened his mask, and poured himself a bottle of stamina nutrient solution.

The two children followed him and sat down, with the door not too far away from Lu Miao, and they also replenished some nutrient solution.

The gloves were all covered with chips of the sawdust-like ore. Lu Miao held the bottle of nutrient solution in his mouth, raised his head and drank it all while looking at the passing miners with his eyes.

There is not much ore here, and the miners are in a hurry. When they pass by Lu Miao, they are very alert and stay away.

So much so that Lu Miao and the others didn't find a suitable prey for a while.

When Lu Miao lowered his head, sweat slid down his forehead and fell on his long eyelashes. He did not reach out to wipe it, but blinked his eyes and let the sweat droplets slide down the arc of his eyelashes.

After a while, it seemed that the lazy atmosphere here had affected the other miners. Several miners with relatively new protective clothing passed by and saw the three of them sitting and resting. After hesitating for a while, one of the miners passed by.

He also sat down.

The miner is a young man with dark skin and particularly bright eyes, but his expression is filled with the embarrassment and restraint caused by the tight life.

Unlike Lu Miao and the others, who just opened a mask and quickly closed it again, he directly took off the entire helmet, exposing his head to the air.

"Phew, it's so hot."

He seemed to feel embarrassed, and while muttering to himself, he moved to the side to prevent his smelly sweat from invading these three decent-looking people who looked very ordinary.

However, before he could get up, Lu Miao frowned and couldn't help but remind him: "Don't take off your helmet, you're sweating..."

"What?"

The black-skinned miner was stunned for a moment, thinking that Lu Miao was saying that he smelled bad, so he quickly smelled it and subconsciously took a few steps away.

With just a few movements, he put the helmet under his arm, and the tarpaulin connecting the protective clothing dripped to the ground. Suddenly, like water pouring into a frying pan, a strange black sound appeared with a "chi" sound.

cigarette.

The moment black smoke came out of the door, everyone's eyebrows jumped and they had a bad premonition.

The black-skinned miner's face turned pale, and he put the helmet back on his head in a hurry. His eyes quickly jumped back and forth between the wisp of black smoke and Lu Miao and the three of them. He was so panicked that he stammered: "I, I...I

I didn't mean it! I didn't expect there was still ore on the ground... Please don't tell the foreman, I really didn't mean it! I... I mined one kilogram of ore, and I will give you half... No, I'll tell you

Can the three of you share it equally?"

As he spoke, his helmet was not fastened yet, so he reached for his cloth pocket.

When Lu Miao saw this, he immediately stopped him: "Don't move!"

The black-skinned miner was about to cry: "You can have it all if you want it. Don't tell the foreman that I polluted the ore. Our family hasn't closed their eyes for almost two months. Just point at me to earn a little here."

The ore goes back..."

Lu Miao quickly grasped the key information and "closed his eyes"?

Before he had time to think more, Lu Miao stepped forward and knocked off the black leather miner's helmet.

But there was still no time to stop the tiny ore fragments on the helmet, which fell through the gap between the door between the helmet and the protective suit.

Lu Miao only saw a piece of white dust rising up, which was particularly conspicuous on the young man's bronze skin, and his pupils could not help but shrink.

The next moment, the black-skinned miner's cries stopped abruptly.

His whole body seemed to have been pressed on the pause button, frozen in place. After a moment, the bronze skin was covered with fine and dense lines, and his particularly clear eyes also turned gray.

In just a few seconds, a living miner turned into a wooden stone statue.

At the same time, the alarms on Lu Miao, Liu Mo and others also sounded and began to emit a harsh scream.

The surrounding miner's lamps suddenly turned red, and the mine that was not very bright was plunged into a strange red light. Amidst the piercing sirens, a child's ears twitched and he coldly told Lu Miao: "There is something coming towards you."

Come around here."

Not long after, Lu Miao also heard the "Woo-Woo" sound with the same frequency as the one he heard when he fell in the mine.

This time I heard it more clearly, but I still couldn't tell whether it was the sound of wind or the roar of something.

I don't know if it was Lu Miao's imagination, but he seemed to have heard someone shouting something in a prolonged voice.

"Mother……"

Is it the cry of the miners?

Before he could continue to explore, the former foreman NPC also came down at some point, and an angry roar came from behind: "Someone has contaminated the ore!! All miners stopped working immediately and returned to their mine entrances...

You damn newcomers, do you know how much damage you have caused to the company?"

The foreman was cursing, but Lu Miao keenly heard a hint of panic in the other person's words.

He is also afraid of the monsters in the mine.

Glancing at the black-skinned miner who had turned into an ore statue, Lu Miao looked at the two little dumplings behind him to ask for advice: "Do you want to dig it out and take it away?"

According to the information Yu Qian told him, this miner should have turned into something similar to those ores. Such a large piece is completely enough for them to complete today's mission.

"..."

The two dumplings looked at him silently and said nothing.

Fortunately, Lu Miao gave up quickly. He looked back at both sides of the mine and said "tsk": "There is no time for the door. Let's wait until the next working time for the door to come down."

After saying that, he fastened his mask and took the lead in trotting in the direction he came from.

It's not that he doesn't want to run fast, he wears a bulky protective suit, this is already his maximum speed after drinking the nutrient solution.

When passing through a certain intersection, Lu Miao saw two miners wearing protective clothing going against the flow of people. They kept grabbing the miners around and took off their masks to check.

Although they were a bit far away and could not see each other's faces clearly, one of the two people was short in stature and was still playing with a nunchaku with strange proportions. They must be Sun Xuetong and Yaoyao.

The person on the other side seemed to have seen him as well. He paused in his steps and quickly approached this way.

Lu Miao immediately turned around, grabbed the hands of two short-legged players, and pulled them to run.

He "inherited" all of Qiu Tianhao's skills and props. After grabbing the two children, he immediately increased his speed and soon found the mine not far away. He hugged a child of himself with one hand and stepped on it.

The iron plate rose up together with it.

The number of people in each mine is limited. In order to prevent anyone from sneaking in, the iron plates fixed with ropes in the mine are also limited. After he went up, the last section of the rope was quickly wrapped into the mine.

Lu Miao looked down at the small mine entrance and saw Sun Xuetong and Yaoyao jumping into the air, waving their weapons at him angrily, and trying to climb up from the mine with bare hands, but they did not panic at all.
To be continued...
