Chapter 614 Is There Such a Thing in This World?

The work of the mine vein was easier than expected. Sean, who successfully passed the trial, found that he only needed to operate a simple special instrument to transport the excavated ore to the ground along the large elevator.

As long as he went back and forth ten times a day, he could get a reward of 100 gold coins. It was said that the average salary in the City of Sand was less than 3,000 gold coins. It was satisfactory enough for him, a newcomer, to have such a salary.

Of course, there were risks behind the high salary. During this transportation route, the mine tunnel from the large elevator to the mine point was very long. The power facilities in many places would fail. The city defense army was not always nearby. If he encountered mutants, Sean, who was only physically strong, would have to look at the mutants' mood and appetite today.

In half a day, Sean had gone back and forth five times. On the first day of work, he was very efficient and lucky. Not to mention the mutants, the winding mine tunnel did not let him get lost once - it was said that even for veterans, it was normal to get lost once or twice a day.

"The route is getting more and more familiar. Although I heard that this mine sometimes changes its route by itself, at this efficiency, I can go back and forth seven more times in the afternoon... That's 120 gold coins, great!"

Operating the machine, Sean hurried to the mine with brisk steps, with only one word in his mind: make money! Make money! Make money!

He has spent all his savings since he came to Sand City. If it weren't for the one-month free meal allowance and one-month free rent for new residents, he would have to sleep on the streets. Now that he has a good job, he naturally wants to take the opportunity to save more.

After all, it is well known that guys who keep shouting about making money are often extremely poor.

With a good memory, Sean turned a dark corner and walked into the deep path, but his heart tightened after only two minutes.

If I remember correctly, there is a mining lamp at the end of this path. The previous few times, it took about a minute and a half to reach the end and see the light. Now it has been two minutes, and there is still no light in front.

With the weak display light on the machine, Sean tried to squint his eyes and look around, his face became solemn.

It was different from the roads he had walked on... He panicked immediately, his feet slipped a little, and almost even the machine fell to the ground.

He quickly supported it, Sean closed his mouth and sped up. He realized that he might have encountered the autonomous changes of the mine on his first day of work.

Legend has it that because of the special nature of the excavated ore, the mine here will change like a living thing, which is the main reason for getting lost. The only good news is that the mine that has been opened will not be automatically blocked, that is, as long as you are lucky, you can always get back to the right path.

But the premise is that you have to be lucky...

Sean quickened his pace, but the more anxious he was, the more unlucky he was. He walked for nearly half an hour and still didn't see any light.

Suddenly, a neat sound of footsteps came from a distance, and Sean was immediately happy. These were the footsteps of the patrolling city defense forces!

He immediately shouted, "I'm trapped, I'm here!"

This strange mine is not like an ordinary mine that can spread sound. Sean's shouting not only did not echo, but even seemed to be swallowed by the dark mine, without causing any waves.

The footsteps were getting farther and farther away, and Sean's heart was in his throat. He waved the tools in his hands desperately and shouted wildly, trying to attract the attention of the city defense army. However, the footsteps suddenly stopped not far from him, and then gradually faded away.

Sean's heart sank to the bottom of the valley in an instant, and a feeling called despair surged in his heart.

He slumped on the ground, gasping for breath, and sweat soaked his back.

The darkness around him seemed to have life, constantly squeezing towards him. Sean forced himself to calm down. He knew that in this dangerous mine, panic would only make the situation worse.

Turning on the backup light source on the machine, he began to observe the surrounding environment carefully.

"Hmm?"

The texture on the wall seemed a little strange. Sean took a closer look and found that these textures seemed to be slowly wriggling, as if they had life.

He couldn't help but shudder. The secret of this mine seemed to be far more terrible than he imagined. Suddenly, a strange sound came from not far away, like the roar of some creature.

Sean's heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He clenched the tools in his hands, stood up, and looked vigilantly in the direction of the sound. In this silent and unknown mine full of dangers, Sean felt the threat of death for the first time.

At this moment, the disappearing footsteps sounded again, and Sean rushed desperately in the direction of the footsteps: "I'm here! I'm here!"

"Is there anyone? Come on, go and see."

The subtle conversation sounded, and Sean was overjoyed. The city defense army heard his voice!

Following the source of the sound and the constant shouting, the sound Sean heard became louder and louder, and his footsteps became faster and faster.

Suddenly, the sound was cut off again!

However, Sean's eyes were already wide open at this time. Even though his pupils were shrunk due to the excitement and his eyes were a little pale, he couldn't help but be ecstatic.

That's the light!

As long as he sees the power facilities in the mine, he will be safe!

He strode forward with his sore legs and finally came to the light.

Putting down the machine, Sean gasped for breath, his face full of joy of surviving the disaster.

With a happy look, he turned his head, and then the scene in front of him almost made his heart stop.

On the ground, large pieces of blood were flowing, and five bodies were lying on the ground in a mess. They were the city defense soldiers who had just made the noise.

No mistake, one sentence, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

Next to the bodies of the city defense soldiers, a terrifying monster came into Sean's eyes.

Its shape was very strange. Sean swore that he had never seen anything like it before!

The whole body of the monster was a striking red, but that red looked like dried blood, exuding a strange smell. The top, which was like a water outlet, was like a twisted big mouth, with sharp spikes on the edges, as if ready to bite prey at any time.

And in the center of it, there was a strange, huge yellow eye, staring at Sean, revealing a bloodthirsty desire. At its bottom, several thick black tentacles grew, twisting restlessly on the ground, making a creepy "sizzling" sound.

Sean couldn't help swallowing hard.

At this moment in the Sand City, Keo frowned at the scene sent back by the body camera: "Didn't we let a mutant go?! How could our people be attacked?!"

His men were shocked and said: "We released it, but...but the mutant hid itself...Now this unseen thing ran out by itself!"

Keo's pupils suddenly contracted: "Impossible, how could a new mutant run out of a mine on the first floor! Investigate quickly!"

"Yes, yes!"

...

In the luxurious manor in the imperial capital.

Sean, who had just woken up with his upper body naked, rubbed his eyes. He looked at the strange thing on his retina in confusion, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.

"The self-action of the fraudulent heart is indeed too uncertain... Damn, I remember there is no pure red fire hydrant in this world?! What the hell is this!"
