Chapter 77: Chapter 77
Xie Ruhang, who has a great talent for hiding his tracks, stealthy tracking, and avoiding surveillance distribution, and Gu Tunan, who has received professional military training since he was a child and carries military equipment that detects cameras and is able to sneak around in the dead zone of surveillance, both follow the miner, and despise each other in their hearts for their sneakiness.
Qin Wei, who was being tracked by the two top alphas, was oblivious to the fact that he had turned his head several times to observe his surroundings but nothing unusual had happened, so he could only attribute the inexplicable anxiety in his heart to the pressure of the military coming to investigate.
He'd just received inside information that the deal had been leaked from Cheng Wenhui, and the military had sent someone to look into their case.
The weak alpha of the Cheng family is really not good enough, relying on the support of his wife's family in order to have a say in the Cheng family, this little white man if not relying on his wife to rely on the Cheng family name, not at all qualified to be involved in the Cheng family's property in the slums.
If he wasn't one of Qin's family, but one of Cheng's, with Qin Wei's power, where would Cheng Wenhui be able to dictate this deal?
The more Qin Wei thinks about it, the more irritated he gets.
Although the military only knew about the vague clues from Cheng Wenhui, finding the mine in countless suspicious locations was like looking for a needle in a haystack, but there was no guarantee that the group of people from the military department would be blindly stumbling upon a dead rat, so they had to quickly move the location, and he was in charge of taking the deal of the extremely high quality energy crystals away from them.
As for the paupers in charge of human transportation ......
Qin Wei's eyes crossed a vicious.
Or just kill them all and be done with it.
Seeing that the mine where they had agreed to trade was right in front of them, Qin Wei's pace quickened, and he was about to strike up a conversation with the man at the mouth of the mine, when he suddenly saw his companion in front of him yell, "Behind you!"
But the reminder came too late.
Xie Ruhang made a running impact, pouncing on Qin Wei like a cheetah in a flash, the paralyzing current from the Xing Xing buttons he wore electrocuting the alpha.
"Fire!" An alpha quickly racked his energy rifle, and a flush of racking sounded behind him, but it was Gu Tunan who was quicker to fire than his associates.
Gray-blue eyes narrowed slightly, Gu Tunan looked like the Grim Reaper reaping life, and the light that flew like a cold star fell straight into his opponent's brow.
The commanding alpha collapses with a startled look on his face, and while his opponent doesn't react, Xie Ruhang rolls in place, dodging the energy rounds with a speed the eye can't catch, and darts into the mine.
"Enemy attack!" An alpha shouts while aiming at Xie Ruhang's back.
Without turning his head, Xie Ruhang spun around to avoid the attack, followed by him drawing an energy gun and firing it backhandedly backwards without looking.
The energy rounds hit the alpha's abdomen with pinpoint accuracy, and another man went down.
Xie Ruhang heard the fierce gunfire behind him, and knew that Gu Tunan had slowed down the enemies at the entrance, he scrambled into the depths of the mine, the light got dimmer as he went deeper and deeper into the mine, but Xie Ruhang didn't turn on the illumination mode of his optical brain.
He was used to fighting in all kinds of environments so much in the underground arena, and lightless environments were not unfamiliar to him; sometimes darkness was the best cover instead.
Xie Ruhang was walking silently when he saw a light up ahead and four alpha's alertly raising their energy guns and aiming them forward.
Xie Ruhang made a dash, and like a ghost he rushed to his nearest opponent, like a gentleman at a ball, his arm locking around his opponent's neck and leading him in a fluttering spin, using his opponent's torso to block the oncoming attack.
Two shots rang out, and Xie Ruhang knocked two of his enemies down, then gently reached out and pushed the man in his arms out of the way, dodging the splash of blood with a graceful ease.
Xie Ruhang looked towards the last enemy, and the moment he locked eyes, the alpha actually began to tremble.
He felt the fear of being frozen from bone marrow to blood, and the dark phoenix eyes he saw in the last moments of his life were cruel but beautiful.
Xie Ruhang resolved all the enemies inside the mine, his eyes darted over the twenty-odd paupers trapped, and soon saw Lu's father, who had collapsed in a corner and was dying, and at this time looked even more haggard than Lu's mother, who had been seriously ill before.
Xie Ruhang strides forward and tries to untie the ropes on Lu's father. Lu's father, who is being lifted up by him, struggles to open his eyes, and after seeing Xie Ruhang's face, he opens his mouth to say something.
Xie Ruhang leaned in close to hear Lu's father say in a weak voice, "Quickly, quickly run."
"Bang-!!!"
The mine collapsed in a flash. When the ten blasters installed in the abandoned mine detonated together, Xie Ruhang only had time to hold Lu Xiaoshan's father before he was hit by falling rocks and fell into a coma in the first wave of the explosion.
Before passing out, Xie Ruhang heard the shaking of the earth, the ghostly wail of life being torn apart, and the crisp click of--
The mecha egg that stayed in Xie Ruhang's pocket suddenly cracked a small opening, and a bright green mechanical Teng Man drilled out, looking so slim and soft.
During this time, the mecha egg was about to hatch successfully, Xie Ruhang was afraid to leave the mecha egg in the dormitory room and miss the breaking of the shell, if the mecha pet that he had hatched for so long ran away on its own, he might not be able to find it when he searched for it all over the campus, so Xie Ruhang carried the egg with him.
Another slender Teng Man breaks through the egg wall, then a third, then a fourth. ...... They sense the presence of the mass of energy crystals, and the mechanical Teng Man, fresh out of their shells and eager to feed, are like young anacondas racing towards their food.
The first one to get tangled up was Lu's father, who was the closest.
Although protected by Xie Ruhang, Lu's father, who had been imprisoned for such a long time, was incredibly weak and fell into a coma during the impact of the explosion, and fortunately, it was a coma so that Lu wouldn't be scared out of his wits by the bizarre scene.
Only those mechanical Teng Man were seen wrapping around Lu's father's abdomen, a location where the energy crystals existed.
The Cheng family had the paupers act as carriers for the transportation of energy crystals, and they would feed these paupers special food beforehand and pump in some potions to transform their bodies into carriers suitable for transportation.
At the moment, these Teng Man are absorbing the energy of the energy crystals in the air, the food of the mech pets is energy crystals, the energy crystals delivered by the Cheng family are all the rare top grade energy crystals on the market, and compared to the intermediate energy crystals that Xie Ruhang usually feeds to the mech eggs, it's the difference between a mountain of delicacies and a chaffing meal.
The Mechanical Teng Man was so excited that its small leaves curled up, its rhizome flew to become thick, the Mechanical Teng Man grew rapidly under the nourishment of the extremely high quality energy crystals, it not only wrapped around Lu's father, but also greedily wrapped around all of the twenty or so poor people present.
Countless mechanical Teng Man weaved into a large net, seemingly soft but hard, firmly protecting all present, not letting any falling rocks crush its precious food and master.

Tang Bai received an alert that the attack function of the Xing Xing button was used.
Is Xiao Cheng in some kind of danger?
Tang Bai sent a message to Xiao Cheng, but he did not receive a reply, which made Tang Bai's heart vaguely uneasy.
Tang Bai sent another message to Xie Ruhang asking about Xiao Cheng, he remembered that Xie Ruhang said he had met with Xiao Cheng, maybe Xie Ruhang knew what Xiao Cheng had done.
But Xie Ruhang didn't return his messages either.
Xie Ruhang never leaves his messages unanswered unless something comes up.
When Tang Bai was in a state of confusion, he suddenly realized that Gu Tunan had sent him a message twenty minutes ago. Because Tang Bai was annoyed by Gu Tunan, he had set up a no-disturb mode for Gu Tunan's message alerts, so he didn't even notice what Gu Tunan had sent him.
Gu Tunan: [Tang Bai, I'm going to participate in Cheng Wenhui's investigation this time, don't worry, I'll help you out].
Participate in Cheng Wenhui's survey?
Tang Bai froze for a moment, isn't Cheng Wenhui already in the police station?
Cheng Wenhui is not mentioned in the book, could Cheng Wenhui be involved in other plots?
Tang Bai simply asked Grandpa Tang directly, Grandpa Tang sniffed and said, "We found some clues on the Cheng family's private trading of energy crystals on Cheng Wenhui's light brain, the military department sent people to investigate this matter, Gu Tunan and Xie Ruhang those two boys were involved in the investigation, the two of them happened to be teamed up together, and as luck would have it they found the Cheng family trading stronghold, but ......"
"I heard there was an explosion in the mine and Xie Ruhang was buried in it."
"Hello? Sugar, are you listening to me?"
Tang Bai heard himself say, "Where is that mine? I'm going."
The mine explosion thing didn't happen in the book, because Cheng Wenhui in the book didn't reveal his true colors, and there wouldn't have been the military department finding those clues in Cheng Wenhui's optical brain, not to mention Xie Ruhang and Gu Tunan following the clues to go to the mines to find the Cheng family's temporary strongholds.
In the book, Xie Ruhang and Gu Tunan work together only after they discover the Cheng family smuggling energy crystals to the Star Pirates, and the two team up and return safely.
Will something happen to Xie Ruhang?
The danger of a mine explosion is not only the impact of the blast, but also the compression of falling rocks after a collapse ......
It's his fault.
He's the one who changed the plot.
Why did this happen?
Tang Bai sat dumbfounded on the hovercar, watching the scenery around him change along the way, and soon he and a bunch of people arrived at the B area of the mine.
"Oh my god! What is that thing?!"
"How did the mine get so big Teng Man?!"
"This Teng Man it will move!!!"
There were continuous cries of alarm all around, and Tang Bai stared round to see several huge, bright green Teng Man dancing among the rubble, which lifted the heavy stone head, and the clattering rubble raised a cloud of dust on the ground.
In the dust, more Teng Man sprang up like some kind of horrible man-eating monster, and then something even more horrible happened-
The next part of this Teng Man that pops up turns out to be bundled with a bunch of humans!
The humans were all unconscious and looked in terrible condition, their bodies were covered with blood, not knowing whether they were injured in the collapse or bound by this Teng Man monster.
And therein lies Xie Ruhang.
The roots of this giant Teng Man appear to be embedded in Xie Ruhang's body, and seem to be using Xie Ruhang as sustenance.
Tang Bai couldn't sit still at the sight of Xie Ruhang's figure, he instantly stood up, itching to rush up and make himself suffer in Xie Ruhang's place.
Is this Teng Man an alien creature found by the Ching family? Is it using Xie Ruhang's body as sustenance? Wait a minute... ...... Why does it look inexplicably familiar?
The amber eyes were slightly confused.
The crowd had their energy cannons trained on the unheard of monster, and on command, they would fire without hesitation!
Tang Bai looked at the huge Teng Man that seemed to be able to cover the sky, especially the metallic luster that vaguely flashed on the Teng Man, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity grew stronger and stronger.
Suddenly, a mecha pet design that he himself had once made popped up in Tang Bai's mind.
Mechanical Teng Man, a combination of mechanical and extraterrestrial life, during incubation, the mecha egg internal simulation of the extraterrestrial environment to allow the growth and development of seedlings, seedlings after screening will not destroy the ecology, can be smaller and larger can be recovered, the largest size and the number of energy crystals swallowed related to the normal feeding will not be more than two meters long ......
So how many energy crystals did this Teng Man eat to grow so big!!!!
"Everyone get ready, I'm going to count to three and we're all going to shoot this monster in the root-"
"Wait!" Tang Bai exclaimed as the crowd looked on in amazement, "It's not a monster!"
