As I was heading towards Branch No. 5, I keenly realized that there was a slight smell of something wrong in the air, which always made me feel a little nervous, but I really couldn't say something wrong, but this strange feeling was tightly in my heart and could not be removed.

"The circuit is broken."

We walked down the railroad tracks inclined for more than ten minutes, but when we reached the fork in the road and looked at Branch No. 5, we suddenly found that the entrance to Branch No. 5 was pitch black.

Looking at the wall of the cave, the cable that was supposed to extend into it was broken into two pieces at the entrance of the cave. It seemed that it was cut off by man. This is good news for us, because the purpose of our coming here is to find someone.

No. 7 and I looked at each other, nodded, and then gestured to the team members.

He walked to the mine first with light steps. His upper body, which was wrapped in bandages, turned slightly red, emitting amazing heat, like a human-shaped furnace, strides toward the fifth part.

With him as the leader, the safety factor of the rest of us has improved a lot. We followed him with confidence and walked towards the dark mine cave.

There is darkness in the fifth branch of the mine.

But the moment the light of the strong flashlight hit, the entire tunnel lit up, and a lot of ores embedded in the inner wall of the tunnel reflected the light, which was even a little dazzling.

"It's still fresh..." Suddenly, No. 7, who was walking in front of us, bent down and touched the wet soil under our feet. The complicated footprints on the ground attracted his attention.

Based on the time left by the footprints, we can probably judge that in addition to us, there are others here to be active within a few hours. But we don’t know whether the people who left these traces are miners here or from mysterious forces.

Everyone is on guard.

And I, including me, are ready to fight at any time.

There are many restrictions on combat in this terrain, and the response is the force, because there is almost no cover in this kind of place. Once the fight starts, the one who fires the first shot will definitely win.

When the flashlight shone, broken pickaxes, wooden boards, and piles of silt and sand gravel could be seen everywhere in the mine cave.

Silence, extreme silence. Even if we take every step carefully, the faint echo will still spread in the tunnel. After about half an hour of progress, we have reached the end of Branch No. 5 tunnel, but unlike what we imagined, there is no one here.

"How could it be..." No. 7 frowned.

Not only him, I also find it a bit extraordinary.

Before we reached the end, according to the traces left on the ground along the way, there must be people here, but when we came here, we unexpectedly lost.

Could it be that we really made a mistake in judgment?

The feeling of self-doubt slowly rose in my heart, but almost instantly, I gave up this idea, and I still believed in my experience.

Wait! Just as the team members were looking at me and letting me make up their minds, I seemed to hear a faint voice of conversation. I glanced at it and more than a dozen team members stood in front of me, silent, and there was not even a person who was breathing heavily.

But...where did that sound come from?

I made a gesture of silence, and then listened carefully to the source of sound that ordinary people could not hear. One step or two, I tried my best to avoid making any sounds myself, so as not to alarm those who spoke.

Seeing that I seemed to have noticed something, the team members followed me closely.

It's here.

When I arrived at the wall of the tunnel, I looked at the wooden board two meters long and three meters tall, and smiled slightly.

The sound I heard just now was in this inconspicuous piece of wood placed horizontally in front of the cave wall! “I’ll do it.”

Seeing the smile on the corner of my mouth, No. 7 seemed to understand something, and the mist was rising up all over my body, and his whole body became red in an instant, and he walked directly towards the wooden board in front of me.

The amazing high temperature spread, and I quickly moved a few steps to the side, freeing up plenty of space for No. 7 to display its supernatural powers. Then, I watched him lift his palm like a ball of fire and gently press it on the gray-black wooden board covered with mud.

Swish...                                                                                                                             �

"ah!"

At this moment, after the wooden board that had been burned to carbon, a few hysterical screams came, which made people feel goosebumps, but No. 7 smiled.

With a blink of an eye, the wooden boards that had been burned into charcoal were broken into pieces and fell to the ground.

Inside, there is a small dark tunnel with a small entrance, which can just accommodate one person in and out. The wooden board just now happened to cover the entire entrance tightly, which is why we didn't find this extra bifurcated tunnel when we passed by here just now.

You can see that the light of the mine lamp was shaking inside, but it only flashed for a moment and disappeared.

But at that moment, I clearly saw that under the light of the mine light, there were many figures shaking.

Someone.

I smiled slightly. Just based on the clues I discovered just now, I knew that the people hiding here were definitely not the mysterious forces who came here like us. After all, they don’t have to hide here sneakily.

"Walk."

With my order, No. 7 took the lead in, and I followed closely behind me, while the rest of the team members lined up and followed me.

However, as soon as I entered, I heard a burst of scolding. Because of the language blockage, I didn’t know what they said, but from that almost trembling tone, I could feel the fear expressed by these people.

"Dong!"

When I bent down and went into the hole, I saw that four meters away, No. 7 was wrapped in the light of several flashlights, and a pickaxe used to mine was pressed against his head! In front of him, there was a thin black mixed-race man.
Chapter completed!
