In the Extraordinary Era, My Career Can Be Upgraded Infinitely Chapter 175

Chapter 175 The Horrible Rat Tide, the Oracle of the Beast God Cult

at home.

Mother Zhang Fen frowned and opened the window for ventilation.

Her resting condition has improved during this period, and the blood on her face has become much rosier. It is obvious that the gifts and letters from Qi Sui last time had an effect.

Father Qi Hewei was sitting on the sofa, staring at the screen of his mobile phone, with a serious expression, a cigarette in his mouth, and kept puffing away.

"Stop smoking less. This is the fifth one you take in the morning. Don't you know what's going on with your lungs?" Zhang Fen whispered.

Since Qi Sui went to school out of town, she has turned a blind eye to Qi Hewei's smoking at home. After all, as long as second-hand smoke does not affect the children, it is fine.

Qi Hewei frowned, put out the cigarette butt, and sighed: "Just two days after our break, the mine manager is urging us in the group to go back to work!"

“Are you going back today? Has the rat problem under your mine been resolved?” Zhang Fen felt nervous.

Just a few days ago, a large-scale rat infestation broke out again under the mine where Qi Hewei was located. Someone took pictures with an explosion-proof mobile phone.

“Qi Gong, are you here?”

 In many cases, rats often play the role of safety guards and are deeply loved by miners.

Zhang Fen sighed and said nothing more.

Those black-furred mice are not only huge, almost the size of an ordinary house cat, but they are also numerous in number. They pour out like a black wave, leaving no place for people to stay.

 Half an hour later, the vehicle left the city and the surrounding scene gradually became desolate.

“The mine manager said that the problem has been solved. He invited a professional rodent exterminator team and sprayed powerful rodenticides to ensure that they were all killed.” Qi Hewei sighed.

 The world is getting more and more chaotic. She, a woman, is really afraid that something will happen to the breadwinner of the family.

Zhang Fen said: "Old Qi, why don't we stop doing this job? Anyway, our family is not really in need of your salary now. Both children are promising, so you don't need to worry about it anymore. Please quit as soon as possible." , can't you enjoy a few years of happiness?”

Zhang Fen persuaded in a low voice: "Didn't you watch the news on TV a few days ago? Recently, there were three outbreaks of rat infestations in Qinhai City. I heard that they killed and injured many people. There are not enough beds in the hospital."

Someone looked at Qi Hewei with eyes full of envy and said, "Qi Gong, you are different from us. Although everyone is making money here, you have raised a pair of promising children, and they have a promising life. "

Qi Hewei nodded at him and drove the car into the dilapidated parking lot in the mine.

The super-state-owned enterprise "Special Heavy Coal Mine", which was once so glorious that graduates from major prestigious schools struggled to get into it, is located in this area.

“Well, Lao Sun, how is the situation at the mine today?” Qi Hewei slowed down and asked.

But the scene in front of me is the same as the scene in my childhood memory.

"In two more years, I will reach the required length of service, and I can get an extra 2,000 in pension! How can I just quit?" Qi Hewei stood up and went to the back room to change clothes, preparing to go to the mine to see the situation first.

“Well, it's not that I don't want to send people down, it's just that these days, who can survive in a place like this?” Another person sighed.

“The mine director asked me to come down and check the equipment. If there are no problems, production will officially resume tomorrow.”

An old man from the coal mine gatekeeper cheerfully stuck his head out to say hello.

Qi Hewei shook his head and said: "As the days go by, the indicators issued by the higher authorities are still far behind!"

Qi Sui has the same temperament as his father. He is a stubborn donkey, and no one can persuade him to change his mind.

"Actually, don't worry too much. If the mine manager says it's okay, then it shouldn't be a big problem. After all, if something happens, he needs to take responsibility!" Qi Hewei's eyebrows slowly opened, and he had an idea in his mind.

Qi Sui observed his surroundings vigilantly and found nothing unusual.

 When he was a child, he and his father went to the mine to play several times, but later his nose felt uncomfortable when he went to the mine, and his father never let him come there again.

But this time the rats are completely different from the past. Not only are they not afraid of humans, but they will also take the initiative to bite them. Several of his co-workers were bitten and are still lying unconscious in the hospital.

“Damn it, the higher ups know how to issue work quotas, but they don't know how to send more manpower!” A rough man complained with a grin.

Qi Hewei has nearly 30 years of working experience. He is generous and righteous, and many people in the mine obey him.

A few middle-aged men with dark cheeks and wearing dust masks rested next to the support and said hello with a smile.

"It is a blessing for children to have successful children. We parents have to live our lives how we should!" Qi Hewei smiled and chatted with everyone for a few words, and then continued to walk deeper into the mine.

My father acted quickly, returned to the locker room and changed into work clothes, then put on a first aid kit and a high-light helmet. After saying hello to the staff on duty, he moved out of the "monkey cart" and slipped deeper into the cave.

“Qi Gong, are you coming down today?”

 There was a light layer of coal dust floating in the air, and the earth was dyed black.

"It's very good. In the morning, more than a dozen large trucks came and took away all the corpses of the rats in the mine. Just now, a group of workers were sent down to the working surface. The message came back saying that everything is normal and can be restored. Production." Old Man Sun said with a smile.

 It is overgrown with weeds, and a few lonely graves can be vaguely seen.

“How about you and the mine manager ask for a few more days off! I always feel uneasy in my heart!”

Qi Sui's "soul body" was next to his father. He followed him out of the door and drove toward the southwest of Qinhai City.

 “Hearing what you say makes me feel more relieved!”

Looking at these old facilities, Qi Sui felt a little emotional.

 After so many years, there has been basically no development.

After all, the discovery of "Hengjing" has revolutionary significance in the world's energy field, and other energy sources are on the verge of being eliminated. Perhaps after these old people are gone, this industry will completely disappear in the long river of history.

Even if someone said that these rats can eat humans, I am afraid they would not be suspected.

Those who work in dark underground mines like them often have to deal with rats.

Along the way, there are piles of various heavy machinery and equipment used for mining.

Qi Hewei turned on the searchlight and carefully inspected each machine to ensure that no internal components had been bitten by rats.

Beside him, Qi Sui sniffed.

Hundreds of meters underground in the mines, the air is extremely turbid and dull, and is filled with the pungent smell of dead rats and pesticides.

 But among these smells, Qi Sui smelled a stench originating from his soul.

　　It made every cell in his body feel intense discomfort.

˜Somewhat similar to the smell emitted by "Old Gods" and "Secret Alien Species".

 “The source seems to be here?”

Qi Sui looked in the opposite direction to Qi Hewei's progress.

He did not act in a hurry, but waited patiently until his father had inspected all the equipment and returned to the ground, and then drifted towards the dark depths on the other side of the mine.

This seems to be an abandoned vein, with many gravel roadblocks piled up along the way.

But as you go deeper, the stench becomes more and more obvious.

 Hundreds of meters later, the abandoned vein came to an end, and a wall of mud that had never been mined blocked the front.

Qi Sui squatted down, and in the lower corner of the mud wall, he could see some traces of holes punched by rats. “Perhaps the source of the rat infestation in the mine is here!”

With a thought, he turned into a powerful spiritual force and drilled through the hole.

In this cave, which is about the size of a fist in height, the air becomes cold and humid, and dense green sheen like will-o'-the-wisps flickers in the pitch-black environment.

Qi Sui felt a chill in his heart.

This is not a will-o'-the-wisp, but tens of thousands of mouse eyes.

Their hair is the kind of black with no impurities visible. Their bodies are as fat as adult domestic cats, dragging a tail that is several times longer than their body. The exposed teeth are extremely sharp, as if they can break steel. Nibble down.

However, for such a large group of rats, they did not make any sound. They just continued to reproduce and reproduce, allowing the size of the rat group to continue to expand at an extremely exaggerated speed.

 “There is a power behind it!”

Qi Sui's eyes flashed.

　　rats are not highly intelligent creatures, and they cannot show such strict discipline on their own.

 Suddenly, he thought of the "Beast God Cult" missionary he had met in the Yushan secret realm before.

The other party seems to have the terrifying ability to control animals.

  Actually, the "Beast God" is not a very powerful existence among the gods of the past, and can almost be ranked among the bottom few. With its strength, it is certainly not qualified to occupy the most fertile land of Canglan Star's faith.

 So it has always been developing in the distant "Aussie Country".

Most people really don't know about this very niche religious religion. That is to say, Qi Sui had read a lot of books in the libraries of two universities before, and then he learned some information.

“And by some coincidence, the totem of the Beast God Cult... seems to be a rat!”

Qi Sui's soul body traveled quickly through this sea of ​​rats.

 The further back he went, the more frightened he became.

Because this passage seems to have no end, a rough estimate shows that it has already spanned a distance of tens of kilometers, almost as big as half of Qinhai City.

Moreover, there are countless complicated branches inside the passage, and each branch is filled with rats, and the number has reached an extremely shocking level.

In this sea of ​​rats buried thousands of meters below the surface of the city, a tall and burly human figure suddenly appeared in Qi Sui's sight.

He was sitting cross-legged and hanging in the air. His whole body was covered in a black robe, and his specific appearance could not be seen clearly. In his hand, he held a black flute with a red light. The strange and extremely penetrating flute sound was here. Floating slowly in a dark underground space.

Guided by his flute sound, the reproduction of the mouse tide intensified, and even the body size was developing at the speed that ordinary people could not understand.

 “People from the Beast God Cult!”

Qi Sui determined the other party's identity at a glance.

That weird flute is almost exactly the same as the flute he got in the Yushan Secret Realm before.

His soul body slowly approached in the void, trying to see if he could find out more information.

But just when he stepped into the 100-meter range, the man playing the flute suddenly looked over. Under the black hood, a pair of green and cold eyes lit up, as if he had the ability to see into the void.

 “Hmm? Is it an illusion?”

 He frowned, doubt appearing in his eyes.

 But immediately, he rejected the idea.

With his current mental state, how could an illusion occur? It is more likely that there is something that he cannot understand that has appeared in the spiritual realm.

Qi Sui was also startled by this man's reaction.

 He could feel the terrifying spiritual power erupting from the other party, like a hurricane sweeping through this dark cave.

However, because his soul body has the extraordinary characteristics of "undiscoverable" and "unable to be selected", there is no abnormality.

The man in black robe was extremely vigilant. He put the flute to his mouth. The low and violent flute melody was filled with spiritual power. It was like a heavy rain and strong wind sweeping across the whole place. A large number of rats around him twitched and died. It seemed that they could hear what they heard. The souls of men are torn apart and destroyed.

Seeing this, Qi Sui could only retreat a hundred meters away.

 He ​​originally wanted to use his "soul body" to control it, but based on the strength shown by the man in black robe, his mental attributes may be even higher than his own.

“Warriors who are good at physical and agility are very common, but those with this kind of spirituality are really rare!”

Qi Sui felt extremely solemn in his heart.

 Spiritual power belongs to the second dimension. Coupled with its characteristics of elusiveness and strange methods, spiritual warriors have always been very difficult to deal with.

What's more, the man in black robes in front of him is a martial arts master, the "oracle" of the Beast God Sect, a terrifying existence that can have close contact with gods.

“What is the purpose of such a person crawling into the dark cave under Qinhai City?”

"And looking at him like this, he has probably been hiding here for more than half a year!"

“The most important thing is that everyone does not seem to understand and pay enough attention to the situation in Qinhai City. The danger level in the school's achievement hall has been set to A. What is the difference between this and sending someone to die?”

Just for a martial arts master, the danger level has reached the "SSS" level.

What's more, there may be other accomplices lurking in the dark.

 “We have to find a way to get the message out!”

Qi Sui immediately had an idea. Instead of disturbing the man in black robe, he walked towards the outside of the mine.

 It's a pity that there is not much time left for him.

A middle-aged man was randomly selected, and he used his mobile phone to call the National Security Bureau of Qinhai City. Regardless of whether the other person believed it or not, he told him all about the situation deep in the mine.

Qi Sui breathed a sigh of relief after receiving a dubious promise from the operator on the phone to "send someone over to check."

However, just in case, he still called his mother and asked her in his own name to stop his father from going to the mine at all costs during this time.

 After that, he contacted his teacher Qin Long, but the message was that the line was busy.

 After thinking for a moment, he recalled that Gu Xiyue's call was dialed, but the other party hung up directly.

Looking at the panel where his mental power was constantly draining, Qi Sui made his last call to the "Official Platform of Qinglong Martial Arts University" and once again described the situation in Qinhai City.

"I have done everything I can do now, and now I can only see... the fate of Qinhai City!"

Qi Sui exhaled a thick breath.

 The spiritual power finally could not maintain the "soul body" and collapsed and disappeared in this world.

 “Huh? What happened just now? I seem to have lost my mind?”

The slightly bald middle-aged man regained consciousness. He glanced at the phone still in his hand, stuffed it into his trouser pocket, quickened his pace and continued towards the subway station heading home.
