Apocalyptic Dark Age

The upper level of the mining area is a labyrinth composed of countless passages. In the center of the labyrinth, there is a nearly 100-meter-high building, which is like a particle accelerator shell. It is surrounded by hundreds of flashing wheels that are constantly rotating, and there is a huge roar from time to time. Every time After a roar, countless coal mines were fed into the bottom of the machine from the conveyor belt below, like being swallowed by an abyss.

Past the towering, rotating equipment like high-rise buildings, all the way to the top, dozens of metal corridors suspended in mid-air circle around the top like huge two-way spirals. These corridors are filled with various consoles. Men and women wearing plain black and tight clothes were walking in the center of the console, inspecting the status of the console.

In the center, the half-human-high pyramid is the terminal port of the equipment below. Every time there is a roar and echo, the pyramid collapses layer by layer like building blocks, and at the same time, a round metal tray protrudes from below. , a multi-faceted diamond-shaped gray crystal is placed squarely on the upper end of the tray.

Once the crystal appears, a completely transparent glass tube will fall from the sky and cover the tray tightly. The next moment, the crystal will be sucked into the middle of the tube and fall into the mysterious thing suspended in the air along the transparent tube wall. From beginning to end, no one had the opportunity to step forward and take away these precious energy crystals.

The ultimate use of the coal mine is not to be fed into the boiler, but to be compressed into energy crystals by this huge equipment, squeezing the energy in the coal to the highest level. Every process of absorbing the energy crystals is monitored, and the maze is the most heavily guarded. In the place, two round, roly-poly-like crawler robots are patrolling back and forth. The detection equipment, which is more advanced than electronic dogs, is sweeping out circles of red light. The red light is less than one meter away from the robots, deforming like a water curtain. , flipping and spreading at 360 degrees, scanning every corner of the entire passage.

The passage is made of alloy metal, without any inlaid gaps, and the whole body is forged. Under this level of inspection, the only thing that can be missed is probably bacteria. The firepower of the robot itself is also very powerful, and the ones on the base are The micro-missile launch nest contains twelve different types of missiles, two each of high-explosive bombs, anti-personnel bombs, concussion bombs, sonic bombs, cryo bombs, and incendiary bombs. Even an army of a hundred people can be easily destroyed, let alone Said that the laser weapon system on the robot's head and the small-caliber machine gun with 5,000 rounds of ammunition hidden in the body,

The two robots patrolled back and forth tirelessly. Behind the gate they guarded, in a room more than thirty meters high and covering an area of ​​hundreds of square meters, countless display screens revealed everything in the entire mining area. Thousands of The images displayed on the screen of the computer may be unchanged, or they may be crowded with people, or mine carts racing, or clouds of coal ash.

"What's going on in the mine? Why did the people in Area C end up in Area A..."

Dozens of people wearing helmets with heads like flies were slowly walking in front of the display screen, monitoring most of the images they could see. Suddenly someone stopped and stood in front of a display screen showing cloud images and asked, The electronic sound of the words changing made everyone stop in their ears and look at where he saw it.

"Two little ants are fighting for territory. It seems that the bastards in Area A snatched this mine from Three Eyes, right? A group of bad people know how to rob it all day long. They should cut off food for a month and give it to them. They learned a lesson..."

I don't know who suddenly answered. His words made many people nod. To them, inferior people are the most despicable human race. They are not regarded as the same kind, but just a group of beasts.

"No, each mine slave is worth 10,000 credits. The punishment is too much, or it may cause a loss of credits. Should I use your wages to compensate?"

At this time, the middle-aged man who stood in the center and had always been very calm spoke. This man was different from others. He did not use any auxiliary tools and relied only on his eyes to quickly check hundreds of screens to see if they were clicked. In the air in front of him, he pulled out enlarged pictures one by one to look for suspicious things.

As soon as the man spoke, no one else dared to speak. Only the guy who had noticed something before asked carefully:

"Sir, they have stopped mining. I'm afraid it will delay today's progress. Do you want to give me a warning?"

The middle-aged man frowned and looked over there, only to see a dark mine slave sitting on the ground resting, and Yun and a guy he didn't know were talking. He brushed this guy aside, but looked at the dejected man sitting on the ground. Three hands, after a while he said:

"No, Zone A has a new mine head. We should express some goodwill and celebrate him..."

After speaking, he touched his chin and thought for a moment, then said:

"But we must also warn that the mining areas cannot be too close to each other, and do not give them the opportunity to join forces..."

After saying this, the middle-aged man fell silent. The others looked at each other, and then dispersed and went to work on their own. No one expected that because of the middle-aged man's conservative words, Gao Feng escaped temporarily. of exposure.

"Mr. Cube, everything is ready. They are all here. Do you want to meet us now..."

Since Gao Feng took over Mining Area A, he has been silent and no longer comes forward. The ones who stepped forward in his place are Three Hands and Yun. Together, the two mining heads can suppress the mining heads in other areas. After all, this is just a small Although the mine is complex, it is much simpler than the outside.

The young man who notified Gaofeng was a mining tyrant in Mining Area A. He was not very old. Although he looked vicissitudes of life, he still had a bit of childishness on his cheeks. He was a good boy.

Children who grew up in the mines all have a kind of innocence, just like Yun. Although he is talented and intelligent, he is persuaded by Gao Feng in a few words. Even the cunning Three Hands, after being taught a lesson by Gao Feng, truly surrenders to him. Never had a second thought.

"What's your name? What's your name?"

Gao Feng was very satisfied with this astute boy. Although he had not been with him for a long time, he had never made any mistakes in speaking or doing things. He also knew how to observe words and emotions, so he was considered a talent.

"Cube, I am Cube..."

Although he is said to be a young man, he is actually one year older than Gao Feng. However, Gao Feng has a heavy demeanor and behaves like an adult, so no one can tell his age and treat him as an adult.

"The name Cube is not good...how about calling me Fang Shiyu?"

Gao Feng felt that Fang Fang was too hard to pronounce, so he changed his name on his own initiative. Unexpectedly, Fang Fang became excited and responded in a trembling voice:

"Fang Shiyu sounds very nice. Only civilians can get the full name. Thank you sir..."

Proper and courteous, even if he is happy, he still remains stable. The newly released Fang Shiyu made Gao Feng secretly nod his head, and at the same time wondered in his heart: "Fang Shiyu is here, where is Huang Feihong?"

As Fang Shiyu walked out, he arrived at a wide rock crevice. The rocks on both sides were as jagged as dog teeth, and the ground was not easy to walk on. Without light, he could only rely on miner's lamps for illumination, but this was the only place in the mine without a monitor. Area.

Walking more than a hundred meters into the gap, you can see a bonfire burning in the center of a space of more than 100 square meters in front of you. In a coal mine, lighting a bonfire itself is risky. No one knows whether it will ignite the gas in the air. ,

There was a huge grilled fish on the bonfire. This big fish, which was seven or eight meters long, had no mouth and half of its head. It was the same grilled fish that was killed before the peak.

There were people sitting in a circle around the grilled fish. Most of them were strong men who were not easy to mess with. There were more than 20 people present, but they were divided into four waves. Among them, three hands and Yun, and two mining areas were more popular. A few people with high status gathered together, and the rest were from each of the three mining areas B, D, and E.

Although these three groups of people were gathered together, they were slightly closer to each other, maintaining a confrontational posture with Yun and the three hands. Even if they smelled the aroma of grilled fish, they did not relax.

It was easy to distinguish the leader among the three groups. One of the guys was the thinnest person Gao Feng had ever seen. Thinner than a yellow flower was just a description, but in this man's body, Gao Feng felt that even bamboo poles were much plumper than him. He was one meter taller. Ba's height is just average in this world, but his waist circumference is less than ten centimeters, which is scary. And his limbs are real hemp rods, thinner than a wine glass. People worry that they will break if they touch them even slightly. .

The guy had the best status among that group of people. The other guys with sinewy faces and muscular bodies all looked up to him and stood behind him honestly, glaring at the new peak with unkind expressions.

The other guy was just a foil to the fat man, but he was a big fat guy. If the waist circumference and height of the three hands were about the same, he would be considered a weirdo. But this guy was a unique weirdo. When Gao Feng saw it at the first sight, he thought of one person, that person. The beautiful sister who almost disgusted him to death.

Compared with him, the beautiful sister is at least in the category of a human being, but this guy can't see his facial features, not even his eyes, let alone find his neck, the whole person is like a soft slime , the fat hanging down from the cheeks to the chin is not just on the sides of the cheeks, but on the left and right sides of the forehead, on both sides of the corners of the eyes, on both sides of the cheeks, and on both sides of the corners of the mouth, there are all strips of fat.

Therefore, in Gao Feng's eyes, this guy was not a person, but just a piece of meat, the kind of fat meat with no elasticity and toughness. So Gao Feng only glanced at it and was shocked by this guy. He turned to look at the last mine head.

This miner's figure and limbs are not out of the ordinary, but his head is so different. From the center of his eyebrows along the bridge of his nose to his lips, it is like an edge. The cheeks and edges shrink back left and right. Most people give people the first impression. At first glance, the face is flat. No matter how big a hooked nose he has, this man's face is pointed, like a three-dimensional triangle.

It's not just his cheeks that are pointed, but also his head. His head is like an onion. It looks weird and ridiculous, but it doesn't have a hair. The only thing that makes people feel comfortable is his eyes, which are big. It's a bit too much. In the previous anime, the cute girls' eyes were all big, but his eyes are even bigger than the cute girls', occupying more than one-third of the face. He has been promoted from cute to... Horrible.
