Further inside, there were still those tattered lunchboxes, with dried food stuck to the sides, and chopsticks scattered on the ground.
Chen Feng didn't know how long he had been walking, but he felt increasingly cold and hadn't gained anything, so he was starting to lose interest in going any further.
But the next moment, when the flashlight shone forward, Chen Feng was speechless.
He couldn't move forward; there was no road ahead, it hadn't been dug yet.
The chisel marks on the wall were still visible, and it was unclear why they hadn't continued chiseling. However, Chen Feng deduced that the road here wasn't as deep as the one on the left.
Perhaps the gains were minimal, and the losses outweighed the gains.
Chen Feng shook his head, turned around and was about to leave. He had come all the way here anyway, and his curiosity had been satisfied, so he might as well go out.
Just as he turned around, the detector went off, and Chen Feng couldn't help but chuckle.
It seems I'll have to stay here a little longer.
Carrying the detector, Chen Feng searched back and forth for a long time but still couldn't find the goods. The detector remained silent, causing Chen Feng to frown.
"They really hid it well."
Seeing that it was impossible to use the ground, Chen Feng could only lift the detector and hold it against the wall, scanning several walls back and forth. The detector made no sound, only when it was close to the steel frame.
He now only hopes that the goods are not hidden near the steel frame; if they are, then there is really no hope.
After probing about halfway, Chen Feng still hadn't found anything, and he felt this wouldn't do.
We should explore other places first, and only look here if we're sure it's not there elsewhere.
Now the remaining area is directly in front, which is yet to be excavated. Chen Feng raised the detector and probed upwards from the bottom.
The detector beeped when it reached roughly waist level, and Chen Feng sighed.
If I had known the goods were here, why would I have bothered probing the surrounding walls? My arms were aching from holding the detector.
Chen Feng pulled out a small shovel and began shoveling at the spot where the sound had just been heard.
He shoveled away layer by layer of soil until Chen Feng dug out a small hole, big enough to fit his hand inside.
Chen Feng shone his flashlight on the soil that had been shoveled out of the ground and scanned it with a detector.
The detector didn't go off, so it seems the cargo is still inside the hole and hasn't been pulled out yet.
Chen Feng continued to dig deeper with the shovel.
After digging for a while, we scooped all the soil onto the ground and then ran it over the detector.
The detector went off this time. Chen Feng squatted down and used a flashlight to illuminate the area, while he used a shovel to rummage through the goods.
Soon, he saw a small piece that was flashing different colors.
Upon seeing that small piece, Chen Feng's lips instantly curled into a grin.
"Oh ho~"
Chen Feng reached out and picked up the gold nugget, unable to suppress a smile.
The gold nugget was quite large; Chen Feng estimated it was worth three or four thousand yuan. He couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"I suddenly understood the comic I read when I was a child. The man was digging a hole with a hoe. The diamond was only a hair's breadth away from him, but he gave up."
"Now I know what that feeling is. If they just dug a little bit further, wouldn't all this gold be theirs?"
Chen Feng put away the gold nuggets and walked out, satisfied.
We've explored enough of the mine; it's time to go out.
When he reappeared at the mine entrance, Chen Feng looked up at the sun in the sky, feeling an overwhelming sense of security.
To be honest, Chen Feng was also a little scared of always being alone in the dark and cramped mine.
He is bold, but not to the point of being fearless.
It's more comfortable outside; it gives me a great sense of security.
Although the mines are not safe, they are full of goods.
In just over three hours, it almost equaled a day's income.
That was really awesome.
There are two other mine shafts here, but Chen Feng thought about it and decided against it.
Although there might still be stock available, being alone inside like this makes me feel incredibly insecure.
Moreover, I'm no longer curious about the mine; I just explore the outside.
But then he suddenly thought of the mine at home and wondered if there might be big cargo there too.
I'll just leave this idea to myself; that instance is too dangerous. Unlike this one, I might feel uneasy, but I don't need to worry too much about safety.
If that's not fixed properly, it could really collapse; it's no joke.
After resting outside for a while, Chen Feng, with a cigarette in his mouth, walked in a different direction.
After walking for about fifteen minutes, a dense thicket of bushes appeared ahead, almost one after another. Chen Feng felt a headache coming on.
If it weren't so dense, Chen Feng would definitely have passed through.
However, the density was so high that Chen Feng couldn't even wear them properly, and any normal person would definitely walk around them.
But can Chen Feng be treated like a normal person? He's going to run into the bushes. And with such dense bushes, if he actually ran into one, he'd be covered in red scratches.
But if you ask Chen Feng to go around, he's a little reluctant, since the bushes are a treasure-hunting spot, and it would be a waste to just walk through them.
After thinking for a long time and looking around to make sure no one was watching, Chen Feng made a bold decision.
As he walked into a thicket, Chen Feng knelt down with a thud.
If the bushes could speak, they would surely be astonished, covering their faces with their hands and looking like Tang Sanzang, saying, "Why do you perform such a grand ceremony for no reason?"
Chen Feng knelt in front of the bushes, then, carrying the detector, he walked forward while still kneeling underneath.
That's why Chen Feng first looked around nervously, and only did so after finding no one around.
He would absolutely refuse if there were other people around.
It's mainly embarrassing; it makes him look like he's not quite right in the head, choosing to crawl under the bushes instead of taking the proper path.
No normal person would do something like that.
As Chen Feng struggled to crawl under the bushes, he was utterly speechless with himself.
A perfectly good gold mining trip turned into something resembling begging on the street.
He crawled forward slowly with his head down. After crawling for several minutes, the system still hadn't made a sound. Chen Feng's knees were aching from kneeling. He looked back at the exit and then at the distant horizon.
He genuinely disagrees with the statement that sunk costs should not be involved in major decisions.
If he leaves now, wouldn't all his previous climb have been for nothing?
Even if he crawls out like a maggot today, he still has to come out from the front.
Having moved halfway, Chen Feng lay on the ground, staring at the dense bushes overhead, looking utterly dejected.
"Aren't you going to deliver anything to me? My pants are practically worn through! At least pay me for the pants, you bastards!"
After resting for a while and rubbing his knees, Chen Feng turned over and continued crawling forward.
Seeing that Chen Feng had almost climbed the entire long thicket, but the system still hadn't made a sound, he sighed deeply.
He climbed all the way to the edge of the bushes, past two more trees, and finally the system responded.
"bite!"
“There is precious metal within a three-meter radius of the host!”
Upon hearing the sound, Chen Feng felt like crying but had no tears left.
If he had known the goods were right there, he could have just walked around them. Why did he have to climb for so long?
