Midnight surprise attack

  The life in the mining area is dull and repetitive, miners risk their lives every day to dig underground, exchanging crystals for a meager salary, which quickly turns into fine wine on the bar table, Ji girls on the duck feather bed, and Huang E's most popular addictive substance, Fantasy Fog.

  The people here have no future, nor hope. The harsh living environment has doomed it to be impossible to recruit regular miners. Over time, this place has become a paradise for crime and a haven for petty people. Everyone is muddled through their days, one day after another until death.

  However, the abandoned mine area has been a bit unsettled lately, with the monotonous life being stirred up by many rumors, and these rumors are undoubtedly all related to a legendary miner, who is Gu Wu Chang, Pan Boss's first general.

  The rumor actually originated half a month ago, when an astonishing piece of news leaked out from the Governor's mansion. It was said that someone had sold four crystal rods, each over 10 cm in length, to the Governor at a price only three percent higher than the official purchase price.

  The governor was overjoyed, for once this high-quality crystal entered the official procurement process, he wouldn't be able to make much profit. If he could get the governor to purchase it privately, he would have ten thousand ways to transport the crystal to the auction house on Sanhai Star, where the price would at least increase by a factor of ten.

  For such a secretive transaction, the governor would not normally reveal any news, but this time it's a big deal, selling four crystal rods over 10 cm in length at once, which is a rare large-scale transaction in ten years.

  A deal that's too good to be true can't stay hidden for long. In just three days, the rumor had spread throughout the entire city of Huangyacun. At first, people were wildly speculating, but as the gossip spread further and wider, a single figure gradually emerged from the shadows - Wu Chang, a miner under Boss Pan's command.

  At first, people didn't dare to believe it, but with the spread of another explosive news, the entire planet of Huang Ya was collectively speechless.

  According to reliable sources, the respected Governor Ye Fei acquired a 16-centimeter-long rainbow crystal three days ago. More than one person has risked their life to prove that this crystal was produced by Wu Chang's hand.

  It was from that moment on that Wu Chang was nicknamed "Ghostly Wu Chang", and the abandoned mine area of b1313 suddenly became a treasure trove in the eyes of everyone.

  "Damn it, it must be the last earthquake that caused trouble. The B1313 mine pit definitely found the main vein." In the dark room, Tu Lang Sai Wen was scratching his bald head with one hand while constantly turning around in circles.

  "Calm down, don't be so worked up, what you're saying is just your analysis, you don't have any evidence." The fat man who spoke was Luo Da, the mine supervisor of Huangyecun.

  "Oh my god, Lord Mine Overseer! You actually believe those miners' nonsense? They're saying something about a ghost possessing someone, and that it's the spirit of the mine god who died ten years ago. What is this, some kind of joke?"

  What Saiwen said was the mine god, who was the person who smashed the crystal and committed suicide more than a decade ago. Later, miners admired his ambition and called him the mine god of Huangyexing. In fact, it's just the nonsense of a group of uncultured dirty old mice.

  Loda Mine Supervisor and Saiwen would not believe the nonsense of those drunken miners, especially Loda Mine Supervisor who was a high-achieving graduate from the Three Seas Star Empire University, specializing in Rainbow Crystal Mining.

  "The demon god theory is definitely nonsense. Now there are only a few possibilities: one is that your internal intelligence is wrong, but you've guaranteed it with your life..."

  "That's right, I stake my life on the accuracy of this intelligence. All these crystals are from Unconstant's hand, and that's a dead certainty." Sevyn said, thumping his chest in guarantee.

  Luoda rubbed his belly, saying in a low voice, "Then it's hard to explain. How can this unpredictable luck be so good? The best crystal in the world comes from his hands? Does he have some secret method? No, that's not right. Humans have been discovering rainbow crystals for millions of years, and I've never heard of any secret method."

  "Oh my lord, the mine owner!" Said Saiwen hastily "There's only one explanation, it must be the main vein! We can't just stand by and watch anymore, we have to make a move early, or else there'll be nothing left"

  At this time, Saiwen suddenly brightened his eyes and walked to Luo Da's ear, saying "You think, in our Huang E star, apart from the most black snow, what's left is not the most earthquakes? What if another earthquake buries this main vein, we'll have nowhere to cry..."

  "Great!" Luo Da slapped his thigh "Alright, you take charge of organizing the people, I'll help coordinate the other relationships"

  "Alright then... just you wait and see..."

  At that time, while Saiwen and Luoda were having a secret meeting, in the distribution center of Mine B1313, Wu Chang was playing with a 13 or 14-year-old boy.

  "Ayun, do you think your little tricks can deceive me? Take a closer look at this coin." The golden light of the coin in Wuchang's hand flashed back and forth on his fingertips, as nimble as the yellow-tailed mice most commonly found in the mines.

  Just as the little boy stared at it without blinking, the gold coin suddenly disappeared with a "whoosh". The little boy was stunned at that moment, and he looked for half a day but couldn't find the gold coin.

  It took him a full ten minutes of searching before he finally pulled the gold coin out from the corner of his filthy miner's cloak.

  "Wow! How did you do that? Your hands are faster than any thief I've ever met. Teach me!" The boy clung to Wu Chang, refusing to let go.

  Today, Wu Chang looks like he's in a good mood and has the energy to tease the little kid. Ba Tai's Ailin smiled as she looked at the boy and said after a while, "A Yun, stop bothering people, you need to study hard too, do you still want to be a thief for the rest of your life? Hurry up and eat...

  Wu Chang patted Ah Yun's head and then gave him a kick on the butt "Go eat"

  This little boy has a deep connection with Irene. This orphan named Ayun was picked up by Irene when he was six years old, and he doesn't know where his parents are or whether they're dead or alive. Irene took pity on him and let him stay at the supply center, nominally as a young laborer, but actually just eating for free.

  Later, Ah Yun grew up day by day. In a deserted mining area like this, he couldn't learn anything good. When he was eleven years old, Xiao Tu Zi ran to Huang E City and became a promising little thief.

  They say he has a promising future and it's not an exaggeration, this kid stole 88 gold coins on his first theft, leaving his peers in awe, thinking that this guy is too lucky, 88 is just a homophone for "getting rich again and again".

  Aileen had also advised Ayun not to think about being a thief, but what Ayun said left her speechless. "If I don't become a thief, do you want me to be a miner? Are there few people who die in the mines?"

  Aileen thought about it and agreed, Huang Yue Xing was a broken place that didn't even have a school. People who survived here were lucky if they didn't end up in the mines. Pursuing morality in such a place was simply a pipe dream.

  After that, Ah Yun rarely came back. He spent most of his time in the city and only returned every ten days or half a month to give some money to Ailin, asking her to keep it for him.

  However, this time Ah Yun stayed for many more days because this little guy encountered a mishap.

  A Yun heard the story of Wu Chang and admired him very much, so he tried to steal his things three times, but unfortunately, he was caught every time.

  A Yun was not convinced, he was a notorious thief in Huangyecity, how could he fail three times in a row today? He didn't know that the unpredictable Dragon Tiger Fist had many clever moves, and these moves were much stronger than the basic skills of this group of thieves, they weren't even on the same level.

  Moreover, Wu Chang had been a bandit before and was no stranger to the ways of thieves. Ah Yun's show-off had truly become a case of "giving advice to a master".

  After losing a few hands, Ah Yun thoroughly conceded defeat. From that day on, he began to stick to Wu Chang and ask him to teach him a few moves. Today was no exception, but Wu Chang still had a strong sense of morality. He felt that teaching a child to be a thief was too immoral.

  Regrettably, Ah Yun has gone to eat, the supply center is as quiet as usual. The sky gradually darkened, and the miners also returned one after another. Huang Ye Xing's night was very cold, no one wanted to go out and wander around at this time.

  Time slowly passed, and the empty wine bottles on the table grew in number. At this point, some drunken miners had already found their beds to rest, of course, there were a few guys who had made a small fortune clinging to Aileen asking her to find a few more beautiful jì girls.

  Just when everyone's vigilance was at its lowest, no one could have imagined that a group of black-clad people with skull masks had quietly approached the outskirts of the distribution center.

  Military detonators have been installed, high-energy bullets have been loaded, more than 50 armed militants surrounded the distribution center. When the watch hand pointed to 10 o'clock, a violent explosion suddenly appeared on the alloy wall, and more than 60 detonators blasted a three-meter-wide huge gap in the B1313 distribution center.

  "Charge in and kill without distinction." A group of black-clad men rushed in before the smoke had cleared.

  At this time, the distribution center had become a mess, and all the miners near the explosion point were dead. The broken bodies were splattered everywhere, even the fierce cow was injured due to being too close to the blast point, vomiting blood in large mouthfuls.

  "The enemy is attacking, the enemy is attacking!" The first to react was actually Wu Chang. Before the smoke had even cleared, he picked up a metal chair and threw it at the gap.

  His arms infused with the power of the dragon and tiger, he threw the chair like a flying dagger. The heavy alloy chair shot into the thick smoke at high speed, instantly crushing the skull of one ambusher and also slashing the throats of two other ambushers.

  "Charge, dare to resist, open fire, open fire immediately..." A familiar voice was commanding the battle from behind the thick smoke. Under its command, assault rifles spat out energy beams, dense high-energy bullets condensed into strands of energy and shot towards the distribution center.

  At this time, the people in the hall also reacted. Boss Pan furiously opened the arms box behind the bar and threw a few light weapons to everyone: "Counterattack, don't just stand there stupidly!"

  Wu Chang also received a handgun and two magazines, unfortunately he had never used such high-tech weapons before, and after fiddling with it for half a day, he still couldn't figure it out.

  "Stop messing with him, just throw your chair!" shouted old Laine beside me, his double guns firing non-stop. Just as he finished shouting, a fierce explosion suddenly came from the wall on the other side, and an even larger hole was blown open.

  When bullets were coming in from both sides, the miner assigned to the center could no longer hold on and didn't know who was leading the charge. He suddenly hugged his head and crouched down on the ground, shouting "I surrender! Stop shooting! I surrender..."

  The wounded barbarian held a gun in one hand, firing and cursing at the same time: "You fools, they're going to wipe you out completely. Haven't you seen that even the military's standard-issue weapons are being used? They won't leave any survivors."

  The name "蛮牛" may not be elegant, but the person himself is not stupid, and this sentence hits the nail on the head.
