Chapter 264 Beyond the Fear of Death, But You



Li Lin had heard that oil had been discovered in five other mines under Voss's control.

However, at the Alchemist Baron meeting just now, he had not figured out how to get these mines from Voss.

Originally, including the Sinking Hook Prison Mine, Voss only had a total of 6 mines.

In addition to the explosion, Li Lin no longer allowed them to open new alchemy technology workshops, and they had to gradually replace alchemy technology.

If the oil fields were acquired by him, Voss would only have the "sinking hook" that was most important to her.

Even if Li Lin only wanted oil and was not interested in other minerals, Voss would still argue with him about this for a long time.

This is normal business competition and does not violate the laws of Piltover.

Fortunately, with the Urgot incident, Voss wanted to ask him for help again, and he only asked her to pay the ownership of the oil in the mine. She agreed without thinking.

Afterwards, Li Lin returned to Hilco's office, put on his armor, greeted him, and under his helpless gaze, flew out of the window instead of going through the main door.

Just when he was discussing Urgot-related matters with Voss, the mechanical engineers had already occupied all the factories of Golask Industries and subdued Renata's loyal thugs.

According to the report from the intelligent computer, there are a large number of alchemical bombs stored in the underground storage rooms of three refineries and a gunpowder factory, enough to blow up half of Zaun.

After comparing the components, it was found to be consistent with the explosive fragments found at the explosion site of the alchemy facility at the border of the middle square and the ditch.

In this way, Renata's crime can be confirmed.

But apart from these, there is another thing that worries Li Lin even more:

There are so many bombs in these factories. Is it possible that Renata placed them in various hidden corners of Zaun for her own retreat?

If she is arrested or killed, a bomb will be detonated by one of her trusted men...

On the way to the trench area, Li Lin quickly gave orders to the intelligent computer, reassigning tasks to each mechanical engineer and mobilizing 200 more to scan every corner of Zaun to search for the existence of alchemical bombs.

As time was running out, he also called out to Janna, begging for her help.

After listening to Li Lin's explanation, Janna was also very worried. Without saying much, she went to look for traces of the bomb.

Even a mechanical engineer happened to encounter Zack, who was helping the people in the lower city of the middle square and repairing public facilities.

Li Lin passed by him and asked him to help search for any traces of the bomb.

Just like Janna, Zach agreed without hesitation and immediately turned into slime that flowed into the ground through the cracks.

After a few minutes, Li Lin arrived at the Shen Gou Mine according to the instructions on the map.

This was his first time going down to such a deep area in Zaun.

The environment here is extremely dark, with only a few alchemical technology lamps filled with dark green chemical liquid emitting a faint yellow light.

Although the ditch has a tidal power station and has been connected to the power supply.

But compared to electricity that requires paying for electricity, low-cost alchemical lighting that uses inferior fuel and can generate electricity for a long time is the only choice for alchemy barons.

As for whether miners can see clearly while mining...

What does this have to do with them?

If any worker does not dig up the required amount of ore that day, the Alchemist Baron will not give them food or drink.

In the eyes of these people, a human life is not as valuable as food and water.

What's more, most of the miners are orphans and have no family.

Even if you die, there are no expenses related to pension.

If the sinking hook is like this, other mines are not much better than this one.

Li Lin frowned, dissatisfied with the alchemy barons' behavior which could basically be called "abuse" of workers.

He glanced at the data analyzed by the intelligent brain on the holographic display screen.

The air here is so polluted that it is almost unbearable.

If there was no breathing filter mask, even Li Lin, whose body had been strengthened, would not be able to survive more than a few minutes in such an environment with normal breathing.

It’s hard to imagine how people live here.

Li Lin crossed the unattended iron gate and walked to the surface of the sinking hook, which was the outside of the mine.

As an underground mine, there is a huge underground space under Shen Gou, which can accommodate about two to three thousand people for normal life.

He entered through a gate on the cliff that was flickering with a faint light, and walked down for more than ten minutes before he saw two tattooed strong men whose bodies had been enhanced by alchemical technology and who were holding alchemical carbines.

They stood in front of a metal cage that was more than ten meters high and connected to the top of the cave, talking, laughing, bragging and chatting.

Noticing Li Lin, the two burly men were stunned for a moment, then quickly raised their guns and aimed at Li Lin, "Who are you?!"

Since they have been staying in the ditch for many years and are not aware of the situation outside, they obviously have no idea who the guy wearing this strange armor who looks like a "Hextech cyborg" is.

Li Lin ignored the guns in their hands and asked, "Is Urgot your boss now?"

The two strong men looked at each other quickly, seemed to hear that Li Lin's voice was very young, and then laughed sarcastically.

"Who the hell are you?" The bald strong man on Li Lin's left sneered.

Following closely behind, another burly man with Bilgewater-style tattoos on his face and punk-style piercings on his mouth, nose, and ears quipped, "Isn't that another spy sent by Voss?"

He paused, then walked forward with a look of disdain on his face, tapping Li Lin's armor with the barrel of his rifle. "Wow~ Pretty thick, huh? You don't think you can defeat a Dreadnought with this tattered outfit, do you?"
