This was the first time Chen Feng had ever seen a mine pit. Some mine pits were very deep, some said to be nearly a hundred meters deep, and others tens or even a few meters deep.
Curious, he walked towards the mine pit, wanting to take a closer look at what it was like.
Public mines are all supported by steel frames, so they won't collapse even after a long time.
Private mines typically use wooden frames because they are cheap.
However, as long as the wood is of good quality, there will generally be no problem. Only small workshops or illegal mines will take nothing, or just some rusty steel frames and rotten wood for support.
This is why we sometimes hear news reports about mines collapsing.
This abandoned mine was a private mine from a long time ago. Chen Feng walked closer and stood at the entrance to take a closer look. The mine was supported by wooden beams. The entrance was shady, and the ground was covered with gravel, garbage, and crushed mineral water bottles.
Chen Feng wasn't going to go inside; he just planned to look around from the entrance. The danger of this abandoned mine, which had been abandoned for many years, was self-evident. You never knew when it would collapse; the wood inside might already be rotten.
Chen Feng pursed his lips, and just as he stood in front of the cave entrance and looked up at the support structure on the cave ceiling before leaving, a voice made him widen his eyes.
"bite!"
“There are precious metals within a three-meter radius of the host.”
Chen Feng paused for a moment, staring at the dark entrance, feeling like a million grass mud horses were galloping through his mind.
The system's voice appeared at the very moment Chen Feng least wanted to hear.
"What are you talking about, brother? You're not kidding me, are you?" Chen Feng walked to the side and gently pressed the wooden support of the mine shaft.
If this wood dents when pressed and crumbles when touched, Chen Feng would never go in, no matter what.
Damn it, even if there were gold or diamonds inside, it wouldn't matter.
No matter how good the money is, you still need to be alive to spend it. If this mine really collapses, I'll definitely stay in the mine and not utter a sound.
It was alright, Chen Feng tested the wood and it was still very hard, but it felt a bit rusty from being blown by the wind, which proved that the boss at the time was quite conscientious.
Chen Feng stared at the dark cave entrance, took a deep breath, and decided to explore from the outside first.
If the goods are outside, then everything is solved, eliminating the risk of them going into the cave.
Strangely enough, if Chen Feng takes a step forward and the system indicates that there is goods, it means that the goods must be located at the edge in front of Chen Feng.
However, Chen Feng tried many times, and sometimes he even felt the goods right under his feet, not at all on the edge.
It's like the system has a delay; it only reminds you after you've taken several steps.
Chen Feng originally wanted to exploit a bug to make the scouting process much faster, eliminating the need for minesweeping-style detection; simply scanning the edge would suffice.
Unfortunately, the system fixed this bug, completely eliminating any possibility of Chen Feng trying to outsmart the system.
Moreover, Chen Feng had another idea: if he got a vehicle, he could drive around the abandoned mine, stop whenever he heard a noise, scavenge the goods, and then come back up. That would be incredibly efficient.
Chen Feng could sift through all the abandoned mines in a month, but unfortunately, he discovered that the system only worked when he was physically present.
The system was completely useless in the car; it never beeped when Chen Feng was in the car.
Chen Feng quickly finished scanning the entrance, but unfortunately, the detector he was expecting remained silent, eerily quiet.
That proves that the goods are indeed in the mine. If Chen Feng wants them, he must go in and try.
Chen Feng stood at the entrance of the cave, took a deep breath, and murmured softly, "System, please protect me, please don't let the mine collapse, at least not now."
"If I manage to safely inspect the goods, I'll buy you canned food when I get home, and I'll eat it for you."
Chen Feng gritted his teeth and stepped into the mine.
As soon as he entered, Chen Feng felt a chill wash over him, making him feel cold all over.
He moved with utmost care, afraid of any accident caused by the vibrations, and with the detector in his hands, he probed deeper and deeper into the cave from the entrance.
He is now highly focused and has completely lost his usual carefree and jovial demeanor.
With its ears perked up like a hawk, it listened intently to the various sounds coming from its surroundings, searching for anything unusual.
If he hears even the slightest unusual sound from his surroundings, he immediately turns and runs away without even looking.
It wasn't that Chen Feng was too cowardly, but the abandoned mine was extremely dangerous. If it collapsed, he would immediately lose his life there, without any chance of anything happening.
Chen Feng gently swept the ground at the entrance of the three-line cave, but the detector still did not sound. He slowly took a step inside and continued to probe.
Before he knew it, he had walked more than a meter into the cave. Just as he was about to continue sweeping the next row, a creaking sound suddenly came from inside the cave.
Chen Feng froze instantly, breaking out in a cold sweat. He instinctively turned around and prepared to run away.
Just as he was about to run, Chen Feng realized that the sound didn't seem to be the rubbing of wood, but rather the sound of a living thing, and it was coming from intermittently.
"A mouse?"
Chen Feng immediately understood what was making that noise.
After realizing what had happened, Chen Feng breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
He's completely terrified now; even the slightest unusual sound will cause him to overreact.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his grip on the detector, and continued to probe forward.
Under extreme pressure, the detector finally emitted a "whoosh~" sound.
The sound, accompanied by the whistling of the wind and the squeaks of mice, echoed through the mine.
Even upon hearing this voice, Chen Feng couldn't help but feel a slight jolt of surprise.
He squatted down, breathing softly, and gently laid the detector down beside him, then pulled out a small shovel from behind his back.
Even when shoveling soil, Chen Feng no longer does it like before, first digging hard with the shovel.
Instead, it is inserted at an angle, with even and stable force.
I was afraid that my vibrations might cause one of the supports to loosen.
After the first shovel went down and passed the detector, there was nothing there. Chen Feng poured the soil beside him and then took a second shovel.
The second shovel yielded nothing, but Chen Feng's expression remained unchanged. He then took a third shovel.
In fact, his attention was entirely focused on his surroundings, not on the shovel at all.
After digging more than twenty shovelfuls, there was still no product. Chen Feng was not anxious or impatient, and continued to dig steadily, shovel by shovel.
After digging dozens more shovelfuls, although Chen Feng's expression remained unchanged, he was already feeling a little surprised and excited.
This script is exactly the same as the one for the last one, "Gold Wrapped in Stone"!
Could it be that another large shipment is about to be released?
Chen Feng shoveled another spadeful of damp black soil and ran it over the probe. This time, the probe finally emitted an exciting sound.
"Ooh-woo~"
Upon hearing this sound, Chen Feng couldn't help but smile. He reached into the shovel and began digging through the soil layer by layer.
