The short bamboo reservoir in the courtyard emits a clear sound.
In front of Xue Yun, Yan Zhongtaro recounted the strange things that happened in his mine two years ago.
What happened at the beginning was basically the same as in the mission description.
Miners disappeared for no apparent reason, and the entire mine became a restricted area.
Any living person who enters will lose contact, and no one dares to come near it!
"Mr. Yan Zhong, I would like to ask for advice!"
Frowning, Xue Yun asked: "By missing, do you mean that the person can't be found at all?"
"Yes, that's probably what it means..."
Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Yan Zhongtaro said with a wry smile: "At the beginning, there was a large-scale shutdown, and the headquarters and the mine completely lost contact..."
"The same goes for the inspectors we sent. No matter how many people go there, as soon as they enter the mining area, there is no news. Their families rushed into the mining area and never came out again!"
Everyone looked at each other, an inexplicable chill rising up their spines.
This weird magnetic gold mine seems to have come to life, wildly devouring all living people.
"There is a question, I don't quite understand..."
Zhao Tianyi asked indifferently as Yun sucked the lollipop.
"Why don't you seek help from the local shogunate guard instead of spending a lot of money to post the demon-killing mission on the official website of the Alliance Association?"
Shogunate Guards——
A special authority established by the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets specifically to defend against monsters.
Its status is equivalent to the war preparation department of the fortress city of the Daxia Empire!
The night watchmen who serve in the guard are known locally as "Shadow Guard Priests" and have absolute power over the general public.
At the same time, he also shoulders the important responsibility of guarding major counties and cities and eradicating freaks!
If a strange incident occurs in the mining area, as a serious businessman in the empire where the sun never sets, logically speaking, he should report it to the shogunate guard in the jurisdiction as soon as possible.
But Taro Yanchu did not do this.
It's really a bit unreasonable...
Stunned for a moment, Yan Zhongtaro had veins popping up on his forehead, and he lowered his head and remained silent.
It seems that there is something unspeakable.
"It's because of the Zhongshan Group!" Yan Zhongying on the side responded angrily.
Raising his eyebrows in confusion, Xue Yun had no idea about the "Zhongshan Group" she was talking about, and quickly asked Zhao Tian in a low voice: "Where did this Zhongshan Group come from? Is it so awesome?
?”
"Boss! I know this!"
Zhuge Gangtang volunteered and said.
"The Zhongshan Group is a well-known scientific research enterprise in the Empire where the sun never sets. It was originally founded by mining magnetic gold. Their boss, Zhongshan Yichi, is only in his thirties and is already the world's richest man. Now he is the most powerful
What a rich man with money!"
"It's not just that simple..."
Pushing up his glasses, Zhao Tianyi added: "Zhongshan Group holds hundreds of advanced scientific research patents. In recent years, it has been vigorously researching projects related to biotechnology and medical technology, and the Empire of the Sun Never Sets.
The royal family is also very close..."
So awesome?
Shaking his head silently, Xue Yun was filled with emotion.
Unexpectedly, in the post-apocalyptic wasteland civilization era, such a giant enterprise that defies the will of heaven exists.
Sure enough, I still have too little knowledge!
In addition to the Great Xia Empire, there are dozens of countries that have survived the Great Cataclysm!
The world is so big. If given the chance, Xue Yun really wants to see everywhere.
"Yes, the Zhongshan Group has close contacts with the imperial family!"
Taro Yanchu said with a bitter smile: "Nakayama Yoshitomo has always been eyeing our Yanzhong Mining's magnetic gold veins in Asano County. If we rush to ask for help from the Shogunate Guards, it is very likely that he will play into his hands..."
"Once the imperial government issues a formal document to ban the mineral veins, the century-old foundation of our Yanzhong family will be completely destroyed!"
At this moment, Yan Zhongtaro completely put down his self-esteem, held his face and cried in mourning.
"I...I will never let this happen!"
"Father......"
Reaching out and caressing his back, Yan Zhongying's eyes were filled with tears.
Everyone looked at the father and daughter in front of them, and they were all sighing.
If they knew, Xue Yun's purpose of coming here was to steal the rough stones from the mines.
Will I cry harder...
The two fathers finally calmed down and bowed to Xue Yun and his party to apologize.
Pushing up his glasses, Zhao Tianyi asked directly: "Mr. Yan Zhong, are you sure that no living person has come out of the mine in the past two years?"
"It's not without exception..."
There was inexplicable fear in his pupils, and Yan Zhongtaro responded: "But that can no longer be regarded as a complete living person..."
Yan Zhongying on the side took over the conversation and said: "My father once assigned retainers to sneak into the mines to investigate. There were more than twenty people, and only one escaped!"
"When we saw him, he was speechless and 70 percent of his body had turned into stone..."
"Stone?" Xue Yun asked confused.
"That's right, it's a stone!"
Yan Zhongying nodded and said in shock.
"A large area of the body was petrified, and this change was like toxin, which continued non-stop. We used all medical methods, but to no avail. Three days later, the retainer completely turned into a stone statue and lost all vitality.
.”
The words are full of horror.
Zhuge Gang couldn't help but swallowed his saliva.
Even Hu Kui, who was fearless, felt his scalp numb.
"Control system..." Xiaogu, who had been silent all this time, whispered softly.
Nodding, Xue Yun understood what he meant almost immediately.
Petrification is also similar to the expression of an element!
If the initiator of the mineral vein incident is really a freak, then he is probably a control-type freak.
"Understood......"
Putting down the tea cup in his hand, Xue Yun said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, both of you, since our team dares to take on the task of eliminating demons, all the affairs will be taken care of by us..."
"If this can be done, that would be great! I can't thank you enough!"
Taro Yanzhong leaned over again, raised his head and asked: "If you have any needs, please feel free to ask. As long as the mining of the mineral veins can be resumed, I, Taro Yanzhong, will definitely respond to your requests!"
He coughed lightly.
Xue Yun reminded Zhao Tianyi with this.
This mission must rely on Zhao Tianyi's intelligence.
Xue Yun has no problem with fighting and killing, but it would be better to leave the task of arranging troops to this guy.
Rolling his eyes silently, Zhao Tianyi quickly said: "First of all, we need a bigger car, at least enough to accommodate the five of us to ride together..."
"No problem, Miss Kazama will arrange it for you!" Yan Zhongtaro responded.
Zhao Tianyi nodded and continued.
"In addition, please provide us with the structural diagram of the mine and the surrounding map within a radius of five kilometers..."
"We also have all relevant information about the mine, including past personnel data, annual production reports, sketches of the depth structure inside the mine, analysis data of known ore vein content, and other related information, all sent to us...
..."
Looking at Zhao Tianyi in slight shock, Yan Zhongtaro obviously hesitated.
These data can be said to be the foundation of the Asano Magnetic Gold Mine.
If exposed to outsiders, it would be like a beautiful girl standing naked in front of others.
Their mine in Asano County will no longer have any secrets!
"Father..." Nodding firmly, Yan Zhongying showed an affirmative look.
She had fought against Xue Yun and his group and knew how powerful they were.
It’s not certain that everything can be undone!
Sighing heavily, Yan Zhongtaro nodded and said: "No problem, I will arrange for my servants to print these information into a book and send them all to your room!"
After a pause, Yan Zhongtaro couldn't help but ask: "I wonder when can you all leave for the mine?"
In two years, Yanzhong Mining had no harvest and was on the verge of collapse.
If the strange incident in the mine cannot be solved, we may have to wait for the Zhongshan Group to come and acquire it!
Taro Yanchu couldn't bear it any longer!
"Don't worry..."
With a slight smile, Xue Yun stood up and said: "The day after tomorrow! We will set off on time!"
