Iron Armored City Chapter 43

At night, above the wilderness is the most unsafe area, no matter if you set up a camp or stay in the armored city.

Eighty percent of all scary things come and go in the night.

The 'Golden Castle' activated three smelting furnaces, increasing its speed to 18 kilometers per hour, and its destination was the surprising direction of 'Zhenbei Iron Mine'.

The Zhenbei Iron Mine is located in the mountains 37 kilometers north of Mambach Town. It has been continuously mined for more than 160 years. Basically, it was built and excavated at the same time as Mambach Town.

After so many years, no one knows how deep the mine has been dug down and how wide the interior area is. Even the mine manager may not have a complete map of the interior of the mine.

Strange to say, after more than 160 years of excavation, the ore deposit has not been hollowed out. In recent decades, perhaps because the depth of excavation has been reached, the output of ore has increased a lot, and twenty years ago, Also found an extremely rare associated ore 'iron 21 element crystal stone'.

"City Lord, you are looking for me!"

Bucher pushed open the door and walked in from the outside.

It is not only Li Yinguang who can control the driving of the 'Iron Armored City'. He has set up a rough route, and can also be assisted by others, so as to achieve the goal of automatic driving.

"right!"

Li Yinguang nodded, and asked thoughtfully: "The butler Goda said you have been to the Zhenbei Iron Mine? You know something about it, right?"

Buhe said in a deep voice: "Understood better, I went down the mine in the early years and worked as a maintenance worker in the mine."

"Tell me, what kind of structure is inside the Zhenbei Iron Mine!"

After hesitating for a while, Buhe looked up at Li Yinguang: "My lord, are we really going to Zhenbei Iron Mine?"

Li Yinguang shook his head: "Just to understand, we may not really go to Zhenbei Iron Mine."

The reason why he went north was to save face for the lord. He couldn't just "lead the mission" and leave in the open. When he came out, he walked in the opposite direction. Wouldn't that mean telling others that the "Castle" was going to run away? Where is Lord Bach's face going?

Heading in the direction of 'Zhenbei Iron Mine', you may not necessarily go to 'Zhenbei Iron Mine'.

Seeing what Li Yinguang said, Buhe just sighed and didn't ask any questions. He said, "The underground tunnels of the Zhenbei Iron Mine are very deep and very large. In terms of depth, there is no way to specify the horizontal width if it exceeds several kilometers. According to statistics, where many previously abandoned mines lead to, even the old miners working there can't tell.”

He paused for a moment, thought for a while and continued: "Ten years ago, the Zhenbei Iron Mine was not as noticeable as it is now. At that time, there were many strange things happening in the mine, and many people died."

"Strange things again and again? What kind of strange things?" Li Yinguang asked curiously.

Bucher shook his head with a wry smile and said: "It's hard to say, anyway, it's a strange thing, for example, dead people come back to life, some water leaking from the mine pit, drinking it can make people energetic and work tirelessly, but After coming out, it will become a mummy, and there are some soft ore, eating it can make people infinitely powerful, but their temper and character will also become violent, and they will become stone sculptures after seeing the wind, etc. Anyway, in the mine , any kind of strange things may come across.”

"Have you seen it with your own eyes?" Li Yinguang asked.

Bucher nodded with a wry smile: "I have seen some things, and some things were told by the workers at the time, but there is no doubt that many people died there."

Li Yinguang nodded. According to Buhe's personality, he would not brag exaggeratedly. What he said was highly credible.

"Accidents like gold-eating rats have happened in mines before?"

Bucher nodded: "It happened, not counting other accidents. In the past twenty years, the known 'gold-eating rat disease' has happened three times. Every time the workers in the mine were slaughtered, there are very few cases. Run out alive."

Li Yinguang was a little puzzled and said: "There have been so many 'gold-eating rat disasters', how are they solved?"

Buhe smiled wryly and said, "Wait!"

"Wait?" Li Yinguang was stunned.

Buhe nodded: "Yes, just wait until the gold-eating rats leave by themselves."

Li Yinguang touched his chin and said with a smile: "Then when the miners go down again, won't the gold-eating rats come back?"

Buhe nodded first, then shook his head and said, "Yes, I will come back, but not right away. Basically, the gold-eating rats will come out every few years to kill and clean the mine, but as long as they leave, the mine will be destroyed." There will be a few more years of peace, during which time there will be basically no trace of gold-eating rats in the mine."

"Then where did these gold-eating rats go?"

Bucher shook his head: "No one knows!"

Li Yinguang frowned and fell into deep thought. From the information given by Buhe, he always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't get to the key point.

"Has there been a gold-eating rat problem in the Zhenbei Iron Mine before? I mean, twenty years ago!"

Bucher hesitated and shook his head slightly: "When I was working in the mine, I once asked the old miners this question, and they all said it didn't happen."

Li Yinguang looked at him and said, "That is to say, the Zhenbei Iron Mine has been mining for more than a hundred years, and has never encountered a disaster like 'gold-eating rats', and then it happened three times in the past twenty years?"

Bu He said: "Counting this time, it should be the fourth time!"

"why?"

Li Yinguang raised his own question: "Things that haven't happened for more than a hundred years have happened frequently in the past twenty years?"

Buhe thought for a while, and smiled bitterly: "I don't know, maybe the mine has been dug to a certain depth, and this depth happens to belong to the territory of the gold-eating rats."

"wrong!"

Li Yinguang shook his head, stood up from his chair, paced back and forth and said, "There are quite a few people living in the Zhenbei Iron Mine, right?"

Bucher said: "Many, the number of miners under the mine at its peak will not be less than that in the town of Mambach!"

Even in the slums of Mambach Town, people have to pay taxes, and they have to make money to live. If there is no source of income, they will still be kicked out.

Zhenbei Iron Mine just solved the problem of 'work'!

Although the risk factor of entering the mine is not low, the risk is still much lower than going to the wilderness to seek a living, which is why the mine can gather so many people.

The second is that it is big enough. The Zhenbei Iron Mine has been dug for more than 160 years, and it has penetrated at least a few kilometers underground.

"As far as I know, it is true that gold-eating rats live in groups, but if they can slaughter tens of thousands of people in the mine at once, then their group must be unusually large. Once or twice may be accidents, without precautions, but continuous Four times, can the mine workers be on guard against these gold-eating rats?

They will definitely look for their weaknesses, set up early warnings, and take protective measures, but disasters still happen.

Why?

Is it because the group of gold-eating rats is too large, or there are other reasons, even if there are millions of gold-eating rats, but there are tens of thousands of people living in the mine, and not even a single person can escape?

In less than 20 years, there have been four plagues of rats, each of which will kill tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of people. "

Speaking of this, Li Yinguang's scalp felt a little numb. In the past ten years, hundreds of thousands of people died in the Zhenbei Iron Mine. This is not a mine, it is a mine that eats people.

Listening to Li Yinguang's analysis, Buhe's expression was also not very good-looking.

Those who enter the mine know that there are many strange things inside, and a group of people will die every few years, but the latecomers will still grit their teeth and enter again to restart the mining work of the mine.

The owner of Zhenbei Iron Mine will still hire a large number of people for iron ore, because compared to the loss, the wealth brought by the mine for several years is enough to make up for those losses.

The workers who enter the mine to dig are lucky and have no choice but to take risks if they want to survive. It is a troubled time and there is no happiness to enjoy.

"Okay, you go to work first!"

After Buhe left, Li Yinguang sat back on the chair and began to think again. No matter how he inferred, he felt that the gold-eating rat plague in the Zhenbei Iron Mine was not caused by excavating and disturbing the rats, but more like...man-made!

Assume that if this huge group of "gold-eating rats" is artificially raised, every time the number of miners in the mine reaches a certain level, or the miners dig up some treasure, the owner of these "gold-eating rats" will drive them out Harvest a wave, and exchange according to this inference, it seems a lot more reasonable.

Treasures can indeed be dug in the mine, but if you simply want to rob the ore treasure, there is no need to slaughter all the workers in the mine, right?

If it's not for the items in the mine, but just to harvest the batches of workers who entered the mine?

Li Yinguang couldn't help shivering. If his own calculations were true, there might be a monster hidden under the Zhenbei Iron Mine.

"The generation of cheating fathers!"

He cursed in a low voice, shook his head to get those horrible thoughts out of his mind, and stopped thinking about it at a deeper level.

Li Yinguang has already decided that the Zhenbei Iron Mine is not allowed to go to the right and wrong place!

In the control room of the iron-clad city master of the "Old Castle", Li Yinguang pressed his palm on the controller of the iron-clad city, and activated the "spatial radar" detection function provided by the "mysterious gem" stitched with his heart.

His original intention was to see if there were any enemies around, or beasts that would pose a threat to Iron Armored City.

If not, stop Ironclad City first, turn off the engine and wait for dawn.

In the dark night ~www.mtlnovel.com~ The Iron Armored City is too noisy, it's a good thing that it didn't go deep into the wilderness, it may attract large predators in the deep wilderness.

The detection radius of the 'Space Radar' is 7.5 kilometers, and the diameter is 15 kilometers. Those that can threaten the Iron-clad Fortress of the 'Old Castle' will be marked with red dots of the same size as the green dots where the Iron-clad Fortress of the 'Old Castle' is located. On the map The larger the red dot, the higher the danger level.

Creatures are marked in orange, non-threatening presences are marked in green, and all metallic vehicles are marked in yellow.

"Discovered the 'realgarstone mine', seven kilometers to the northwest, with a detected reserve of no less than ten tons. Difficulty of mining: easy. It is recommended to dig and mine!"

Li Yinguang was stunned by the detection hints fed back by the 'Space Radar' in his mind. He just wanted to detect if there were any hostile forces around him, and wanted to turn off the 'Old Castle' Iron Armored City and sleep, but he didn't expect to have unexpected gains.

"Realgar ore, is it useful?" Li Yinguang said to himself, although the 'space radar' showed that mining was easy, but realgar powder is a relatively common alchemy material, and its preciousness is not very high.

The 'mysterious gemstone' stitched on the heart trembled, and reminded: "The realgar ore has absorption value, and it can be refined into 'realgar insect repellent powder', and it has a restraining effect on 'gold-eating rats'!"

Li Yinguang: "..."

Regarding the 'mysterious gem' stitched on his heart, he just wanted to say: easy to use, easy to use, really easy to use!

The location of the 'realgar mine' is only seven kilometers away from the Iron Armored City of the 'Old Castle', and at a speed of fifteen kilometers per hour, it can be driven there in half an hour.

Thinking of this, Li Yinguang directly controlled the 'Golden Castle' and drove towards the marked point of 'Regar Mine' without saying a word.

Since it is valuable, mine it!
