There were some odds and ends scattered on the ground.
Things like mineral water bottles and aluminum lunch boxes.
After taking a few more steps, the system suddenly beeped, and Chen Feng couldn't help but open his eyes slightly.
Is there really something here?
How could there still be goods that managed to escape the miners' machines and eyes?
Chen Feng was quite surprised, but since the system had already started beeping, he might as well start searching.
Chen Feng drew a circle with his eyes and began searching row by row with the detector.
The mine was unusually quiet, but a creaking sound came from deep within the mine the next second.
This time, Chen Feng was prepared, so he was no longer afraid; on the contrary, he felt much more at ease.
The presence of rats in the mine is a good thing; it proves that there are no problems in the mine and that there is still oxygen.
Moreover, Chen Feng learned through surfing the internet that while rats are considered pests on the surface, they are guardians underground.
Even the miners wouldn't kill the rats; instead, they would give them some food.
Because of the long-term feeding, the rats are not afraid of people, and there are often scenes of rats sitting down to eat with the miners.
If the rats are calm and show no abnormalities, it proves that the mine is safe.
If the rats start to become agitated or even run away in all directions, forget about it; the most important thing for the miners to do right now is to run.
Something bad is bound to happen in the mine soon, that's why the rats are behaving strangely.
That's why rats are called guardians in mines, because they serve as early warning systems and are even more reliable than machines.
"Ooh-woo~"
The sound of the detector echoed clearly in the mine. Chen Feng squatted down, took out a shovel, and began digging.
The soil here is much more compact than the ground soil, where a single shovelful can completely submerge the shovel.
Chen Feng tried to shovel the soil, but he could only get a quarter of it in. The soil he dug out was still clumped together and contained pebbles.
Chen Feng struggled to dig through the soil with the detector, managing to shovel out only a little bit each time; it looked pitiful.
After creating a small dent, Chen Feng repeatedly scooped up the soil with a shovel, gathering up more than half a shovelful before crossing it all at once, to avoid the hassle of doing it bit by bit.
Chen Feng dug for a long time before he finally dug out a pit of normal size, but the goods hadn't come out yet, so Chen Feng could only continue digging with all his might.
"Ooh-woo~"
After Chen Feng had collected more than half a shovelful, the detector finally sounded. Now, besides some loose soil, there were two large clumps in the shovel.
Chen Feng simply picked up a large piece, ran it over the detector, and threw it away if it didn't go off.
The soil was all clumps, so Chen Feng couldn't shake it off slowly; this was the only way he could do it.
The first clod of earth didn't make a sound, but when Chen Feng picked up the second one, the detector started beeping.
After passing the remaining soil through the detector to confirm there were no double yolks, Chen Feng held the clod of soil in his right hand and used the shovel in his left hand to break it up.
Chen Feng quickly broke up the clod of earth, then shone his flashlight and carefully searched through the shovel. Soon he spotted a small, dark yellow particle.
"Oh ho, they actually have some."
Chen Feng grinned from ear to ear. That piece of gold was probably worth four or five hundred, a good haul.
After throwing the gold nuggets into the bottle, Chen Feng, carrying the detector and shining a flashlight, continued to explore further. For now, this place seemed promising and worth exploring.
His greatest hope was that some worker might have left behind a box filled with gold.
If it really exists, that would be amazing! You wouldn't even have to dig for it; they'd have it all installed for you.
However, Chen Feng estimated that this was just wishful thinking. He was lucky if he could pick up some scraps, and he shouldn't expect to find a whole box of gold.
As you walk further in, you see more clutter, clothes, work uniforms, and even a broken shoe with the insole lying to one side.
As Chen Feng shone his flashlight back and forth, he suddenly saw a metal box in the corner. It wasn't a lunchbox, but something that looked like it was used to hold things.
Upon seeing that thing, Chen Feng's breathing became slightly rapid.
No way, it really is true that whatever you wish for comes true? There really is a huge box of gold?
Chen Feng quickly walked over and squatted down to open the box.
Although he was about to open the blind box, Chen Feng was still very cautious and made sure that there were no burrs or flying metal pieces in the box.
This thing has been here for who knows how long, and it's even a bit rusty. If Chen Feng accidentally gets scratched and infected with tetanus or some other germ while driving it, then things will be really bad.
He carefully tried to open the box, but it was difficult to open because of the rust. In the end, Chen Feng used both hands to force it open.
After opening it, Chen Feng couldn't wait to pick up the flashlight and shine it inside, but instead of the gold he had imagined, there were a few coins.
Chen Feng picked them up and looked at them. They were two 10-cent coins, one 50-cent coin, and one dollar.
"What a pity, I thought it was some valuable antique coin."
Chen Feng felt a little regretful, but adhering to the principle that even a small amount of money is still money, he put the money in his pocket and tossed the box aside.
Using a stick to rummage through the tattered clothes, Chen Feng found only some empty cigarette boxes and lighters. After confirming there was nothing of value, he picked up the detector and continued walking inside.
Soon his flashlight shone on a machine that was about half a meter tall and looked very big, but it was very dilapidated.
Chen Feng walked over and examined it closely, but after looking at it for a long time, he still couldn't figure out what it was used for.
He tried to move it, but it was very heavy and he couldn't lift it. He tapped it with his hand and found that the outer shell seemed to be made of iron, but there seemed to be a lot of plastic inside.
If you were to move this out and sell it to a scrap collector, it would probably be worth a few dozen yuan.
Further in, Chen Feng saw a pile of broken shoes, about a dozen pairs, scattered on the ground in tatters.
It's obvious this place is abandoned; otherwise, it wouldn't be so messy.
Just as Chen Feng was about to walk forward, the system issued a notification.
"bite!"
“There are precious metals within a three-meter radius of the host.”
Perhaps because of the deep wind, Chen Feng felt that the goods he found here were very likely to be gold.
After scanning the area with his eyes, Chen Feng began to move the detector around.
As he probed line by line, Chen Feng quickly finished exploring the three-meter area, as it was very flat and easy to explore.
After exploring the entire area, the detector didn't sound at all, which puzzled Chen Feng.
Because the width wasn't wide, Chen Feng didn't even need to look; he could simply scan from left to right.
This kind of detection would not miss anything. He searched the area several meters in front of and behind him, but he still couldn't find the goods.
He tried expanding the area, extending it a few meters forward and backward, but still found nothing. Chen Feng stood there, his mind racing.
This place is so tiny, can the goods really fly away?
