Chapter 77
Xie Ruheng has a great talent for hiding his tracks, secretly tracking, and avoiding surveillance. Gu Tunan has received professional military training since he was a child. He also carries military equipment with detection cameras, which allows him to sneak in blind spots. Both of them followed the miner closely and despised each other's sneakiness in their hearts.
Qin Wei, who was being tracked by these two top alphas, was completely unaware of it. He turned his head several times to look around but found nothing unusual. He could only attribute his inexplicable anxiety to the pressure from the military investigation.
He just received inside information that the transaction was leaked by Cheng Wenhui and the military has sent people to investigate them.
The weak alpha of the Cheng family is really incapable of doing anything good but more likely to cause trouble. He can have a say in the Cheng family only with the support of his wife's family. If it weren't for his wife and the surname Cheng, this pretty boy would have no qualifications to be involved in the Cheng family's industry in the slums.
If he was not a member of the Qin family but a member of the Cheng family, with Qin Wei's strength, how could it be Cheng Wenhui's turn to interfere in this transaction?
The more Qin Wei thought about it, the more annoyed he became.
Although the military only got vague clues from Cheng Wenhui, finding mines in countless suspicious locations is like looking for a needle in a haystack, but there is no guarantee that the military will not catch a dead rat by chance, so they have to move quickly and let him be responsible for taking away the top-grade energy crystals in the transaction.
As for the poor people who are responsible for the transportation of human bodies...
A ruthless look flashed across Qin Wei's eyes.
It's better to just shut up and put an end to it.
Seeing the mine ahead where they had agreed to trade, Qin Wei walked faster. He was about to talk to the man guarding the mine entrance when he suddenly saw his companion in front of him shouting, "Behind you!"
But the reminder came too late.
Xie Ruheng rushed forward like a cheetah and knocked Qin Wei down in an instant. The paralyzing current from the star button he was wearing stunned the alpha.
"Shoot!" An alpha quickly raised his energy gun, and the sound of guns being raised in unison was heard behind him. However, the one who opened fire faster than his companions was Gu Tunan.
The gray-blue eyes narrowed slightly, and Gu Tunan was like the god of death reaping lives. The light that flew away like a cold star fell directly into the opponent's brow.
The alpha who was commanding fell down with a look of shock on his face. Taking advantage of the moment when his opponent had no time to react, Xie Ruheng rolled on the spot, dodged the energy bomb at a speed that could not be captured by the naked eye, and rushed into the mine at high speed.
"Enemy attack!" an alpha shouted while aiming at Xie Ruheng's back.
Without even turning his head, Xie Ruheng dodged the attack by turning around. Then he pulled out an energy gun and shot backwards without looking.
The energy bomb hit the alpha's abdomen accurately, and another person fell down.
Xie Ruheng heard the fierce gunfire behind him and knew that Gu Tunan had already held back the enemy at the door. He rushed into the depths of the mine in a hurry. The light became darker as he went deeper into the mine, but Xie Ruheng did not turn on the lighting mode of the computer.
He had been accustomed to fighting in various environments in the underground arena, and the dark environment was not unfamiliar to him. Sometimes darkness was the best cover.
Xie Ruheng walked silently. He saw light ahead and four alphas raised their energy guns vigilantly and aimed them forward.
Xie Ruheng made a sprint and rushed to the opponent closest to him like a ghost, like a gentleman attending a dance. He locked his arm around the opponent's neck, led the opponent to spin gracefully, and used the opponent's body to block the oncoming attack.
Two gunshots rang out, and Xie Ruheng knocked down two enemies. He then gently reached out his hand and pushed the person in his arms out, avoiding the splattering blood in a very elegant manner.
Xie Ruheng looked at the last enemy, and the moment they looked at each other, the alpha actually began to tremble.
He felt the fear of being frozen from his bones to his blood. In the last moment of his life, the pair of dark phoenix eyes he saw were cruel but beautiful.
Xie Ruheng eliminated all the enemies in the mine, and his eyes moved around the more than 20 trapped poor people. He soon saw Father Lu lying in the corner, dying. Father Lu at this time looked even more haggard than Mother Lu who was seriously ill before.
Xie Ruheng strode forward and tried to untie the ropes on Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu, who was helped up by Xie Ruheng, opened his eyes with difficulty. After seeing Xie Ruheng's face clearly, he opened his mouth to say something.
Xie Ruheng got closer and heard Father Lu's weak voice saying, "Run, run."
"Bang--!!!"
The mine collapse happened in an instant. When the ten blasters installed in the abandoned mine exploded at the same time, Xie Ruheng only had time to hug Lu Xiaoshan's father. Then he was hit by the rapidly falling rocks and fell into a coma in the first wave of explosion.
Before he fell into a coma, Xie Ruheng heard a shaking sound like an earthquake, the wailing of ghosts and wolves after their lives were torn apart, and a crisp snapping sound -
The mecha egg in Xie Ruheng's pocket suddenly cracked open, and a green mechanical vine emerged, looking so slender and soft.
During this period, the mecha egg was about to hatch successfully. Xie Ruheng was afraid that if he left the mecha egg in the dormitory, it would not hatch. If the mecha pet he had hatched for such a long time ran away, he might not be able to find it even if he searched the whole campus. Therefore, Xie Ruheng carried the egg with him.
Another thin vine broke through the egg wall, followed by the third, the fourth... They sensed the presence of a large number of energy crystals. These mechanical vines, which wanted to eat as soon as they came out of the shell, quickly entangled themselves around the food like young pythons.
The first person to be entangled was Mr. Lu, who was closest to him.
Although he had Xie Ruheng's protection, Mr. Lu was extremely weak after being detained for such a long time, and fell into a coma in the impact of the explosion. Fortunately, he was in a coma, so Mr. Lu was not frightened sick by this weird scene.
I saw the mechanical vines entangled around Father Lu's abdomen, where the energy crystal was located.
The Cheng family used the poor as carriers for transporting energy crystals. They would feed them special food in advance and inject some drugs into their bodies to transform them into carriers suitable for transportation.
At this moment, these vines are absorbing the energy of energy crystals through the air. The food of mecha pets is energy crystals. The energy crystals transported by the Cheng family are all top-grade energy crystals that are rare on the market. Compared with the intermediate energy crystals that Xie Ruheng usually feeds mecha eggs, it is the difference between delicacies from mountains and seas and eating coarse vegetables.
The mechanical vines were so agitated that their small leaves curled up, and their roots quickly grew thicker. The mechanical vines grew rapidly under the nourishment of the top-grade energy crystals. Not only did they entangle Father Lu, they also greedily wrapped up more than 20 poor people present.
Countless mechanical vines were woven into a large net, which looked weak but was actually extremely strong. It firmly protected everyone present and prevented any falling rocks from crushing its precious food and owner.
Tang Bai received a prompt that the attack function of the Star Button was being used.
Did Xiao Cheng encounter any danger?
Tang Bai sent a message to Xiao Cheng, but he did not receive a reply, which made Tang Bai feel a little uneasy.
Tang Bai sent a message to Xie Ruheng again to ask about Xiao Cheng. He remembered Xie Ruheng said that he had met Xiao Cheng before, so maybe Xie Ruheng knew what Xiao Cheng had done.
But Xie Ruheng did not reply to his message.
Xie Ruheng would never leave his messages unanswered unless something happened.
Just when Tang Bai was feeling confused, he suddenly found that Gu Tunan had sent him a message twenty minutes ago. Because Tang Bai had annoyed Gu Tunan before, he had set the Do Not Disturb mode for Gu Tunan's message notification, so he didn't notice what Gu Tunan sent him at all.
Gu Tunan: [Tang Bai, I will be participating in Cheng Wenhui's investigation this time. Don't worry, I will help you vent your anger.]
Participate in Cheng Wenhui's investigation?
Tang Bai was stunned for a moment. Didn’t Cheng Wenhui already go to the police station?
The character Cheng Wenhui is not mentioned in the book. Could Cheng Wenhui be involved in other plots?
Tang Baigan simply asked Grandpa Tang directly, and Grandpa Tang said: "We found some clues on Cheng Wenhui's computer that the Cheng family was privately trading energy crystals. The military sent people to investigate this matter. Gu Tunan and Xie Ruheng both participated in the investigation. They happened to form a team together and were lucky enough to find the base of the Cheng family's transactions, but..."
"I heard that there was an explosion in the mine and Xie Ruheng was buried inside."
"Hello? Tangtang, are you listening to me?"
Tang Bai heard himself say, "Where is that mining area? I want to go there."
The mine explosion never happened in the book because Cheng Wenhui in the book did not reveal his true identity, so the military would not have found those clues in Cheng Wenhui's computer, and Xie Ruheng and Gu Tunan would not have gone to the mining area to find the Cheng family's temporary base according to the clues.
In the book, Xie Ruheng and Gu Tunan collaborated after they discovered that the Cheng family was secretly smuggling energy crystals to star pirates. The two of them joined forces and returned safely.
Will something happen to Xie Ruheng?
The danger of a mine explosion is not only the impact of the explosion, but also the pressure of falling rocks after the collapse...
It's his fault.
He changed the plot.
Why did this happen?
Tang Bai sat blankly on the suspended car, watching the scenery around him change all the time. Soon he and a group of people arrived at Area B of the mining area.
"Oh my god! What is that?!"
"How can there be such a big vine in the mining area?!"
“This vine moves!!!”
Endless cries of surprise came from all around. Tang Bai widened his eyes and saw several huge green vines dancing in the ruins. These vines lifted up the heavy stones, and the rustling gravel raised a cloud of dust on the ground.
Amid the flying dust, more vines suddenly emerged, like some kind of terrifying man-eating monster. Then something even more terrifying happened -
The next part of the vine actually tied up a bunch of humans!
All those humans were in a coma and their condition looked terrible. Their bodies were covered in blood. It was unknown whether they were injured in the collapse or were tied up by this vine monster.
Among them was Xie Ruheng.
The roots of this giant vine seemed to be rooted in Xie Ruheng's body, as if it was treating Xie Ruheng as food.
Tang Bai could no longer sit still after seeing Xie Ruheng. He stood up instantly, wishing he could rush forward and suffer in place of Xie Ruheng.
Is this vine an alien creature that the Cheng family found? Is it using Xie Ruheng's body as food? Wait... why does it look so familiar?
The amber eyes were slightly confused.
Everyone aimed their energy cannons at this unprecedented monster. As long as the order was given, they would open fire without hesitation!
Tang Bai looked at the vines that were so big that they seemed to cover the sky and the sun, especially the faint metallic luster flashing on the vines. The inexplicable sense of familiarity became stronger.
Suddenly, a mecha pet design he had made popped up in Tang Bai's mind.
Mechanical vines are a combination of machinery and alien life. During the incubation period, the interior of the mechanical egg simulates an alien environment to allow the seedlings to grow and develop. The seedlings are screened to ensure that they will not damage the ecology. They can be shrunk, enlarged, and retracted. The maximum size is related to the number of energy crystals swallowed. Under normal feeding conditions, they will not exceed two meters in length...
So how many energy crystals did this vine eat to grow so big!!!
"Everyone, get ready. I'll count to three, and everyone will shoot at the root of this monster—"
"Wait!" Tang Bai shouted in front of everyone's surprised gazes: "It's not a monster!"
Tang Bai: It's my cub. It just eats too much.
