Chapter 41: Mine
Ye Xuan looked forward and saw a checkpoint with a thick identification door.
After the transport vehicle is identified, the door slowly opens, the transporter drives the vehicle inside and enters the loading elevator, the elevator starts, and the loaded vehicle is transported down.
Ye Xuan watched all this through the car window. The scenes in the movie appeared in front of him realistically. Only then did he feel the reality of working in a high-tech base.
After a while, the slight feeling of stagnation disappeared, the elevator stopped, the door opened, and the transporter drove forward for a distance. The road was very dark, and the transporter could only drive slowly forward relying on the dim light of the car lights.
"This is for the safety of the people in the mine. Apart from transporting ore and necessary supplies, no one usually comes here."
Ye Xuan was even more surprised when he heard what Luo Feng said.
"Is there no psychic guarding this place?"
Ye Xuan did not ask what the purpose of the base's existence was.
Luo Feng turned to Ye Xuan and said, "There are only 54 people with special abilities in the base. We are short of manpower and cannot take care of many aspects."
Ye Xuan clenched his fists and raised his voice: "It's not like there is not even a single psychic left."
What if the zombies break through the defense line? What should the powerless people inside do?
Realizing that he was too excited, Ye Xuan calmed down and sat back in his seat, "Sorry."
Luo Feng pondered for a moment and turned to the window. "The base has its own considerations. All we have to do is obey orders."
The car just stopped. Luo Feng opened the door and got out. Ye Xuan also got out behind Luo Feng.
Tong Wei and his car also drove slowly over and stopped in front of them.
The car door opened and Tong Wei jumped out first.
“It’s still so dark in here.”
Tong Wei was right. It was very dark here, there was not even a light, and it was pitch black ahead and I couldn’t see the road at all.
When everyone was present, Luo Feng asked them to take the searchlights and follow him.
"Follow closely and don't fall behind. The roads in the mine are complicated and you will get lost if you are not careful."
Luo Feng opened the bracelet, set the target point and walked forward.
Ye Xuan followed Luo Feng closely. If he were to find the way by himself, he might not be able to find it even with a map. There was an identical fork every two or three meters. Now he had even forgotten where he had passed on his way here.
After twists and turns for a while, Ye Xuan finally saw light ahead.
Luo Feng closed the map, turned around and said to them: "We have arrived at the destination. The next task is to move the ore to the car."
Ye Xuan followed Luo Feng towards the light and saw the scene inside. He didn't know how to describe his feelings.
This is a large mine with two large lamps hung on the stone wall. Under the dim light, all kinds of people are sitting on rags chewing dry bread in their hands. They have dull eyes, pale faces and thin bodies, like the walking dead.
The people here were not surprised by Ye Xuan and his group, and looked as if they were used to it.
Through the helmet, Ye Xuan couldn't smell the air here, but he knew that the air here must be turbid and smelly.
In the dark underground, it is a place where people eat, drink, defecate and urinate.
Real people live in places like this.
When Ye Xuan thought about how his parents had once lived in a place like this, his heart ached.
What on earth is the base thinking? Even if it is for mining, they shouldn't treat humans like animals.
He wanted to ask Luo Feng why.
But he found that his teammates were walking forward without looking around and catching up with Luo Feng.
Ye Xuan paused and followed them.
He seemed to understand a little bit, and because he was powerless, he simply pretended to turn a blind eye. Doing so would not change anything, but it could comfort his uneasy conscience.
They passed through the mine and there was no light ahead, so Ye Xuan and the others turned on the searchlight again.
I saw a man running towards me hurriedly with a flashlight on.
A very young boy with delicate features, wearing a short-sleeved shirt, looked to be the same age as Ye Xuan. Because of eating bread for a long time, he also showed the same fatigue as the people in the big mine.
He stretched out his hand to Luo Feng, but after seeing the stains on his hand, he took his hand back, wiped it on his clothes, and stretched out his hand again.
"I'm Dong Jiahao. I was still counting the ore when I received the notification. Sorry."
Dong Jiahao?
Ye Xuan inexplicably felt that it sounded familiar.
Luo Feng took off his gloves and shook hands with the boy in front of him.
"Hello, Luo Feng, where is Old Luo?"
Facing a person with special abilities for the first time, the boy was a little nervous. "He's sick."
The environment is dirty and the air is not circulating, which is a breeding ground for bacteria. Mr. Luo is old, so it is only a matter of time before he gets sick.
Luo Feng was silent for a second and withdrew his hand.
"Got it. Lead the way."
"Yes, follow me." Dong Jiahao walked in front holding a flashlight.
Tong Wei patted Ye Xuan and asked, "What's wrong? What are you thinking about? Brother Feng is very serious when he is on a mission, don't make any mistakes."
"Yes, I understand."
Ye Xuan shook his head and followed.
He always felt like he had seen the name Dong Jiahao somewhere. Where?
This time we only walked a short distance to reach our destination.
Dong Jiahao said to Luo Feng awkwardly: "Sir, there are 3 boxes of rare ore and 27 boxes of common ore, a total of 30 boxes, all here."
Luo Feng unpacked and checked each item according to the list given by the base. After confirming that everything was correct, he asked Ye Xuan and others to move the containers out.
The container is very heavy. Ye Xuan is a space-type mutant, and compared to Tong Wei and others who have power-type mutants, he has a hard time moving it.
Seeing this, Dong Jiahao came forward to help Ye Xuan move.
With help, Ye Xuan felt much more relaxed.
"Thank you, you are so strong."
Dong Jiahao feels much more relaxed when being with people of his own age.
"Brother, no matter how strong I am, I can't beat you."
He looked at Tong Wei, who was carrying two boxes by himself, and exclaimed: "That's too much."
Ye Xuan finally remembered who this person was. It was the one who had sent a message in the dormitory group saying that he had run out of food.
"Dong Jiahao from Dormitory 217?"
Dong Jiahao's eyes widened, "Brother, you know me, not bed 217, I'm bed 218, number four, Dong Jiahao."
"I remembered it wrong." He didn't look carefully at the time, and so much time had passed. "When you were speaking in the dormitory group, I was also in the group, but I didn't say anything."
"Oh oh." Dong Jiahao's eyebrows curved, "I thought I was so famous."
"So, you are?"
"Ye Xuan."
Dong Jiahao's expression became a little embarrassed, he didn't know Ye Xuan.
In college, some people can’t even recognize all the people in their own classes, let alone people in other people’s classes.
Ye Xuan spoke up to save the situation: "Now we know each other, my name is Ye Xuan."
"How did you get here?"
"I received a text message on my phone. The person I was with at the time and I sent the location as a last resort. Then we were rescued by a group of men in black, who were wearing the same clothes as you are now. They did a test on me and said the results did not match. So I was sent here to mine."
