Accident in Tunnel 004

  Today, the mole Pak is considered to have opened his eyes, and the fool Wu Chang has been upgraded to Gui Wu Chang. The iron shovel falling like raindrops was actually tightly attached to the side of the crystal and struck against the rocks, each strike hitting down a piece of rock.

  Pike couldn't imagine that there was someone in this world who had such high control, with a grasp of power that had already reached the point of perfection. The rainbow crystal had already exposed nearly one centimeter, but this monster simply didn't have any intention of spraying foam.

  Paike is now afraid to speak, and even dares not to breathe heavily. He stares intently at the crystal as it slowly grows, just like it's growing out of the stone wall itself. Paike knows that he absolutely cannot startle the unstable crystal now, or if his power is slightly off, this crystal will be ruined.

  "Heaven bless, fire god bless, don't cut off, don't cut off......" Paike was sweating all over his head, muttering to himself in his belly.

  "Idiot, hurry up and spray the foam, I'm begging you......" Unfortunately, he only dared to say these words in his belly.

  He really forgot to spray the foam agent, or he simply didn't know that foam agent should be sprayed during the excavation process. A normal miner would immediately spray foam agent after excavating about one centimeter, using solidified foam to protect the crystal.

  But Wu Chang didn't think so, he thought that the crystal should be dug up whole and then sprayed. It seems that thinking patterns can really kill people.

  Di Shu Pai Ke didn't know that the simple and unassuming rock actually contained a profound technique. Before crossing over, Wu Chang had learned an ancient martial art called "Dragon Tiger Strike". This martial skill was a Buddhist secret method that wouldn't be easily passed on to outsiders.

  Longhu Chonggong method, has both the internal family martial arts' skill of using four ounces to move a thousand pounds, and also the external school's martial arts' powerful and fierce might. Wuchang followed his master for seven whole years, but only learned a tiny bit of its surface.

  But it was just this superficiality that left Pack speechless. He found that the seemingly unintentional and rapid knocks were actually methodical, with extremely even time intervals between them, just like a computer calculation. Moreover, the crisp knocking sound had a strange rhythm to it, with a beat that felt somewhat like a dance tune.

  The crystal grew longer and longer. After an hour, the crystal outside the rock was as long as 20 centimeters, with sparkling crystals standing in the air, reflecting a dazzling seven-color light under the miner's lamp.

  "I can't take it anymore" Pack was really unable to bear it "I beg of you, please spray the foam quickly......" Pack's heart was racing with fear, feeling like his heart was going to jump out of his throat.

  But just this sentence, destroyed the crystal that was growing, and the unstable miner's pickaxe unexpectedly produced a 0.01 micron tremor in shock, but it was precisely this slight tremor that caused the crystal to break, it can be imagined how fragile the rainbow crystal is.

  "Ah......" At the moment when the crystal shattered, Pak yelled out in terror, as if he had already seen the terrifying scene of the broken crystal.

  But what happened next was like a big hand clamped over his throat, abruptly cutting off the scream that followed.

  That little rascal's left hand was as fast as lightning, and with one swift motion, he snatched the falling crystal into his grasp. His slender palm was incredibly steady, and the crystal didn't suffer even a single scratch.

  "Hurry up and spray the foam... I'm begging you!" Pak's knees went weak and he collapsed to the ground. Wu Chang was really inexperienced, it wasn't until now that he thought of the existence of solid foam sprays.

  Under the light of the mine lamp, white foam wrapped around the crystal, and the 19-centimeter-long crystal was finally safe. It wasn't until then that Pike spoke with a lingering fear.

  "Do you know? This crystal of yours is the longest one produced by Huang E Star in three years, and our Ma Tou Xing Circle will have another main battleship..."

  He didn't know what the main battleship looked like, but just by its name, he knew it must be awesome. Just as he was about to speak with emotion, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

  He felt as if his heart had been pinched by someone, and he couldn't catch his breath for a long time. At the same time, a silent sound suddenly came from inside the mine tunnel.

  "Bad, earthquake..." Pike quickly pulled up Wu Chang and turned to run back along the mine tunnel. As he ran, Pike opened the portable terminal on his arm, and a circular wave-like shockwave was already projected on the screen, which was an emergency seismic report sent to each miner on the ground.

  "Run west, there's an emergency hall somewhere, as long as we rush in the moment the main shock wave arrives, we'll be safe..."

  Huang Wei's earthquake warning was still quite good, under the powerful morning computer calculations, the administrative system actually made a warning three minutes before the earthquake occurred. And these three minutes were the miners' life and death three minutes.

  "Three minutes, only three minutes, run to live, can't run then die......" The mouse Pak's loud cry made the eardrums of the onlookers buzz.

  Wu Chang was also anxious, his physical strength must be much better than this old mouse, he saw Pak running too slowly, and actually put Pak on his shoulder, with the power of a dragon and tiger pouring into his body, like a gust of wind rushing towards the depths of the mine.

  Pai Ke saw for the first time that someone could run so fast, he could clearly feel the power hidden in Wu Chang's body, and he could even feel that Wu Chang's feet had trampled the earth into fine cracks.

  "What are you doing? You're not a warrior, are you? Have you already entered the stage?" Pike's nonsensical muttering didn't affect Akira at all, as he was now focusing all his energy on sprinting. The metal door of the emergency hall was already in front of him, and Akira also saw it, that door slowly falling down, the evacuation program had been activated.

  "Ah……" The frenzied roar, the veins on Wu Chang's forehead were bulging wildly, the Dragon-Tiger Strength had been used to its limits, the specially-made miner boots could no longer withstand the enormous impact force, the soles were torn apart, revealing the terror of the Dragon-Tiger Strength.

  At last, just as the metal gate was about to close, No. 9 threw Pike like a bowling ball into the hole and himself narrowly escaped by rolling into the emergency hall at the very last moment.

  When the metal gate was closed, the strongest main earthquake wave finally rushed over, and a huge sound came from outside the hall. Pike knew that it was the result of billions of tons of rock rubbing against each other, and that kind of terrifying force was not something that human power could resist. Even the alloy emergency hall in front of him had a ceiling of four square meters that was deformed by the pressure.

  The dim red emergency light flickered in the over ten square meters large hall, and there were only two of them in the entire hall.

  "Why is it just us two? Aren't there any other miners?" Wu Chang asked in puzzlement.

  Pike shook his head painfully "Just now, when I rushed in, I saw two miners just one step away..." Pike couldn't go on, he just pointed to the metal doors in all four directions with his hand.

  His mood was also unstable, he fell silent for a while and then said "It snowed heavily today, maybe not many miners went down the well, perhaps only those two encountered difficulties..."

  Paike raised his hand to stop Wu Chang's persuasion. "You don't have to persuade me, this is the fate of us miners, especially us miners from Huang E Star. A trash planet that produces nothing but rainbow crystals, a poor planet that even needs to import food, human life is as cheap as waste ore here."

  "Everyone in the mine knows I'm stingy, I drink the cheapest liquor and eat the most ordinary food. Others who have money find a few prostitutes to have fun, but I've never tried it."

  "Why am I like this? Do you understand now? Damn it, I really don't want to be a lowlife anymore. I want to save money, live with Aileen, and open a big ration center. I never want to come down again in this life."

  Pai's emotions were clearly agitated, and by the end he was almost shouting "I want a son, I don't want to die underground without even leaving behind an heir."

  Paike, who had just vented out his emotions, surprisingly covered his face and started sobbing, while Wu Chang sat beside him, unable to utter a single word.

  The geological activity of Mount Huangyao is very frequent, like the small earthquake that came quickly today and went away quickly. The main shockwave passed by quickly, and the remaining aftershocks gradually dissipated within half an hour. Paike and Wuchang waited for more than half an hour to ensure safety before confirming it was safe.

  "We must set off, we can't wait for the rescue team, don't worry, no one will come to save us." Pike, with a calm mood, opened the geological radar on the wall and carefully explored the outer rock layer.

  Only 10% of the tunnels on Huangyexing are man-made, and the rest are naturally formed. Every volcanic eruption and every earthquake causes chaos in the tunnels. Over the centuries, the tunnels on Huangyexing have become a vast labyrinth.

  "This earthquake wasn't severe, but it must have caused some damage to the surrounding tunnels. Whether we get lost or not depends on our luck..."

  At this point, Pak, the mole, suddenly remembered that Wu Chang had encountered Hei Xue and the earthquake on his first trip down the mine. Could it be that he was the one who brought bad luck? However, he shook his head and thought to himself, "If we can excavate a 19-centimeter-long crystal, this guy's luck can't be that bad, right?"

  It didn't take long for the geological radar to explore the surrounding tunnels. Pike studied it for half a day and finally opened the C security door. "Let's go, we'll have to walk at least three hours on foot to reach the surface."

  After encountering so many things, both of their emotions were complicated. On the way back, they didn't say much and neither had the energy to explore the mine anymore. Especially Wu Chang, who had just unleashed his Dragon-Tiger power and was now relatively weak.

  Just as they were walking listlessly, Pik, a groundhog who was ahead of them, suddenly shouted, "What the fuck is this thing? I've never seen it before!"

  He hastily ran a few steps to bypass the stone blocking his way, and when the scene in front of him entered his eyes, he took a deep breath and couldn't say a word.

  What appeared before the two of them was an enormous, gigantic rift in the earth. Scorching hot magma flowed beneath the rift, and a wave of scorching air rushed towards them.

  Here, there is no need for any mining lamps, the fiery magma illuminates this place with unparalleled brightness. However, these are not what surprises the two of them the most; the strangest thing is that on the cliff wall over ten meters below their feet, a bizarre metal box is actually embedded.

  Good heavens, isn't that emboss on the metal box familiar? Aren't those the Four Heavenly Kings of Buddhism? And isn't that one staring at me with wide eyes and a scowl Vaisravana?

  Tears of uncertainty gushed down, both knees knelt on the ground, and murmured softly in his mouth, unknowingly saying something.
