Restricted area grave keeper

Chapter 217
Early the next morning, Bai Mo had a brief understanding of the gathering place under Zhang Tao's leadership.

It is said that this gathering place was first built by a few workers from Boundless City using local materials. At that time, there were about a dozen people gathered, but not long after, all of them mysteriously disappeared, and the gathering place was taken over by another group of people soon after. occupied by people.

Creatures in the restricted area will come out for a walk every now and then, almost every time they pass by the gathering place, they will reap a lot of lives, and this has also caused the residents of the gathering place to change all the time. Zhang Tao is already the sixth batch of residents in this gathering place in half a year the ones.

Perhaps it is because the buffer zone of the Boundless City is formed by the intersection of multiple expanded restricted areas. The creatures in the restricted areas interfere with each other, and their actions seem to be regular. However, with the experience gained in exchange for human lives in the past, people today are more or less against danger. With some evasion ability——

Such as last night's spider monster.

Speaking of this, Zhang Tao felt fortunate again, saying that the situation last night was abnormal, and if he hadn't prepared those spells in advance, they might not have been able to see the sun today.

However, Bai Mo knew that what happened last night was indeed beyond Zhang Tao's brother and sister's expectations, but the reason why they survived was not because of those invalid spells, but because of him.

He raised his head, and the huge flower that appeared in the night had disappeared. It seemed that the thing would not stay here forever, and he didn't know if it was because he was afraid of being discovered.

There were a total of dozens of people in the gathering place, more than Bai Mo had imagined. Like Zhang Tao, they also got up early and looked quite busy, but most of them had numb eyes.

Some people seem to have noticed Bai Mo's fresh face, but they didn't pay much attention to it. The gathering place is full of people coming and going, newcomers replace old ones, it's normal for a few new refugees to come occasionally, as long as they don't occupy their residence .

As for the occasional disappearance of people, don't worry about it, those guys who disappeared are probably not gone, but dead.

As for the cause of death...

With such a large buffer zone, forbidden creatures, dangerous treasures, forbidden sequences, even people... anything is possible, who knows.

And just as Zhang Tao said, Bai Mo's handsome appearance did make many women in the gathering area take a second look, and even thoughtful eyes appeared in their eyes, not knowing what they were thinking.

Handsome is the second best thing. The most attractive thing about Bai Mo is his eyes. For those who are struggling to survive in the buffer zone, he is too clean, whether it is clothes or eyes.

Although the white ink and pale skin will give people a feeling of weakness, but the eyes are very calm, and there is no sense of depression at all. At first glance, they are very different from those men with numb eyes.

Of course, the temperament has to be matched with the handsome appearance to be useful. For those with ordinary looks, for example, although Zhang Tao has bright eyes, full of energy, and is tall and powerful, no one is willing to take a second look at him.

"Good morning everyone."

Seeing passers-by, Zhang Tao warmly greeted them.

"Ah."

Everyone responded casually. In the middle, someone sized Bai Mo's eyes, raised his eyebrows and said, "New here?"

"Yes, his name is Bai Wu, please take care of him in the future." Zhang Tao smiled.

The man nodded: "No problem, it's not a bad thing to have a newcomer. It just so happens that the Hansheng Mine doesn't have enough manpower, so you can ask him to go with you."

"I can't decide this, but I will let him think about it."

"It's good to have something to eat, what else to think about."

Seeing the man shaking his head and leaving, Bai Mo asked, "Where is the Hansheng Mine?"

Zhang Tao seemed to have guessed that he would ask this question, so he smiled and replied: "As I said before, the expansion of the restricted area brings not only dangers, but also opportunities—and the Hansheng Mine is the opportunity in my mouth one."

"Hansheng Mine appeared in the buffer zone with the expansion of the restricted area. It is rich in strange ores and there are many kinds. Zhaoshi is one of them. There may even be more precious rare treasures. And our The main work of the gathering place on weekdays is to mine ore for the Boundless City."

"Mining ore for Boundless City?"

"Of course, the Hansheng Mine contains many important resources such as coal mines and iron ore. Do you think that the Boundless City will miss such a good place?"

Zhang Tao laughed and said, "So they sent a group of robots to occupy the mine early on, and let the people in the nearby gathering place mine."

Bai Mo nodded, thought for a while and asked, "Do you get paid?"

"Yes, otherwise who would go? In fact, Boundless City is not bad. You can't find a serious job like this in the buffer zone. At least you can get something if you work, and there is not much danger."

After a pause, Zhang Tao continued, "But the most attractive point of the Hansheng Mine is that the miners can keep three pieces of ore mined by themselves for their own use every day—no matter what the quality is. This is part of the wages."

Speaking of this, Zhang Tao's tone became a little eager. It seemed to him that as long as he was lucky enough, it was not impossible to mine a rare treasure one day, even the source stone of Taoism.

And once this is the case, the lives of him and his sister will definitely improve.

Bai Mo said: "Hearing what you said, I'm a little interested in this place."

"If you are interested, you can try it with me later." Zhang Tao laughed, and then seriously reminded, "But there are only a few people who can hit the big luck. This is the same as a lottery. Don't expect too much money." More, just a little hope.”

"Yo, isn't this Brother Tao, what's so happy about it?"

At this moment, a Cun Tou came from a distance carrying a big padded jacket, and looked at Zhang Tao with a smile on his face.

Zhang Tao said with a smile: "It's nothing, I just thought of something happy... Why, is this going to go to the mine?"

"Yeah, the family is almost out of control recently, and my body is very weak. I'm afraid I won't be able to get some money to make up for it." Cun Tou said helplessly.

"By the way, who is this? It looks like a new face."

While speaking, he suddenly looked at Bai Mo, and when he noticed that the other party was actually more handsome than himself, a special emotion flashed in his eyes.

"Oh, this is Bai Wu, a new friend at the gathering place. He is very interested in the Hansheng Mine. How about we go together?" Zhang Tao said.

"No, no, I have an appointment with someone else." Hearing this, Cun Tou smiled a little embarrassedly, "They should be waiting for me right in front, so..."

Zhang Tao understood: "That's okay, you go first, I guess I have to leave soon, see you later."

"See you."

Zhang Tao said goodbye to Cun Tou with a smile, and then looked at Bai Mo beside him with a strange expression on his face.

He asked in a low voice: "Brother Bai, you have been staring at Xiaofan since the beginning, do you know him?"

"do not know."

"Oh... No, you can get to know him, even if you don't know him, don't offend him."

Zhang Tao said in a low voice, "Xiaofan can chat with anyone. I heard that he formed a small group not long ago. You also know that for ordinary people like us, whoever has more people will have bigger fists. In many things You can also have more voice online, so I always say that everyone should take care of each other."

He looked around: "Speaking of which, I would like to remind you that the robots in the Hansheng Mine are very fair and will never keep our ore, but humans may not."

"So if you're really lucky, you must remember the principle of not revealing your wealth."

"I see."

Bai Mo nodded. What Zhang Tao said was practical experience. It could be seen that he was really thinking about himself.

Not long after, the two chose to leave and headed for the location of the Hansheng Mine.

On the way, Zhang Tao gave Bai Mo some thick cotton coats, and told him that although there was no danger in the Hansheng Mine, the temperature was very low, and it was a randomly changing low temperature with a huge temperature difference.

If you really can't bear it or feel something is wrong, you have to leave as soon as possible. As long as you put down the ore, those mechanical guards will not stop you.

There was once an example of someone who was frozen to death by the sudden drop in temperature in the Hansheng Mine because he could not escape in time. It is said that when the corpse was found the next day, there was a particularly weird smile on the face, which made people shudder.

Bai Mo didn't have the slightest bit of impatience, and seriously endured Zhang Tao's endless desire to confide.

The two of them walked a small road, and passed a place full of gravel on the way. Zhang Tao told Bai Mo that it was at this place that he found Bai Mo unconscious.

Bai Mo deliberately stopped to observe for a while, seemingly thoughtful, but he didn't say much, and followed Zhang Tao to continue walking to the front of the path.

The Hansheng Mine is located near a town in the south of Boundless City, but due to the emergence of the buffer zone, the town is already in a semi-abandoned state, and creatures in the restricted area often visit at night and destroy the town.

But even so, the town is still occupied by a group of people.

According to Zhang Tao's guess, they seem to have a special way to avoid the attacks of creatures in the restricted area.

Approaching the town, Bai Mo saw at a glance that there was a dark circular hole on the ground beside the town. The hole was not too wide, and at most two people were allowed to pass through at the same time.

Standing in the four directions of the hole is a gun-wielding robot. It does not seem to be painted. The whole body is silver and has a humanoid design. The general structure is close to that of humans, but there are four legs in total to support and fix their spherical bodies.

When Zhang Tao and Zhang Tao appeared near the entrance of the cave, the four robots immediately noticed and turned to see them. There was a red light flashing in their eyes, as if they were scanning.

"Hey, human, the job number is determined to be 054, 055, and you are allowed to enter."

Zhang Tao is accustomed to this, and said as he walked: "The robot will judge our identity, only humans can enter the mine, and other creatures will be attacked by the robot, so in a sense, cold Raw mines are actually safer than many places.”

"If it wasn't too cold in the cave, I might even consider living here."

While talking and laughing, he climbed down the ladder down the mine.

Bai Mo followed closely behind and asked, "What does the job number mean?"

"There is no special meaning. The first number to enter the mine is 001, the second is 002, and so on. This number shows that three and four of us entered the mine respectively."

Zhang Tao explained, "Similarly, when someone leaves the mine, the number will start from 001, and the number represents the number of people who left. If the number of people who left does not match the number of people who entered, it either means that someone stayed in the mine, or Someone died... I assume it's a kind of hypervisor for these robots."

Bai Mo listened silently, and soon followed Zhang Tao down into the mine.

Although it is underground, the mine is very bright. Rows of illuminating stones are arranged in the passage like electric lights, making the whole underground as bright as day.

A gust of cold wind blew, and Zhang Tao couldn't help shivering. He hurriedly put on a thick padded jacket, and then walked forward despite the low temperature.

"There are tools for mining in front of you, you can take whatever you want, and you can choose the location of mining freely, but it's better to have a clear distinction from others, otherwise it's okay if you don't dig something good, once you dig something good Maybe there are so many people talking to you."

Zhang Tao shook his head while talking, as if thinking of some not-so-good memories.

Seeing that there was no movement behind him, Zhang Tao couldn't help but look back, but saw Bai Mo looking thoughtfully at the ground of the mine, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"What do you think?"

"I'm thinking about what good things I can dig up today."

actually thinking about this...

"That depends on your luck." Zhang Tao laughed, "If you're unlucky, you might not even be able to dig out a piece of zhaoshi."

As he said that, as if he realized something, he looked Bai Mo up and down, and the smile on his face gradually froze: "Brother Bai, aren't you cold? Why don't you put on your padded coat?"

"Fortunately, it's not as cold as I imagined."

Bai Mo put on the cotton-padded jacket unhurriedly, and his whole body suddenly looked a lot bloated.

"Don't be brave in this place."

Zhang Tao gave a warning and entered the work area with Bai Mo.

At this time, a lot of people had gathered in the work area, and they were all wearing thick clothes, and they were mining the underground ore with tools.

It is worth mentioning that their positions are quite interesting. It seems that everyone has their own area, and some places even draw lines.

Bai Mo remembered what Zhang Tao said just now, and suddenly understood it.

As for the arrival of Zhang Tao and Bai Mo, everyone just glanced at them without any special reaction.

The goal of everyone entering the Hansheng Mine is very clear. Apart from seeking food and clothing for that little salary, the main purpose of coming here is to obtain enough precious ore.

In their view, as long as they dig more ores, the chances of digging up precious and rare treasures will be greater, so they all work very hard.

Bai Mo was also very interested in these ores, so he quickly picked up his tools and found an area to dig silently.

Seeing this, Zhang Tao smiled, and then came to his favorite location for mining.

In his opinion, mining is the same as lottery drawing, and he always likes fixed numbers, so the chance of winning is higher.

Time passed slowly, and the temperature in the Hansheng Mine was constantly changing.

I don't know how long it took, and there was an exclamation in the mine.

In an instant, the sound of iron and stone colliding disappeared.

Because along with the exclamation...a burst of bright golden light.

　There are a lot of exams recently, I am busy, I will make up after the exam
