Yuantao Coal Mining Company is located ten kilometers north of the Yuanxin base. The company closed down due to poor management a few years ago.

Why did Gu Ming choose that place as his new base? First, it was surrounded by mountains and there was only one road in and out. This road was built by the original coal mining company for cargo transportation. Second, there were mines hundreds of meters deep. It has great advantages for establishing a hidden base. The third is that it is not far or close to the Yuanxin base. It is better to transfer the base personnel. There are already hundreds of people in the base, and there are many old, weak and young. It is necessary to consider transferring. impact on them.

The chariot travels in the mountains, with two lanes for kilometers. However, the mountain roads are difficult to walk and there are many detours. However, there is no problem at all for the chariot driven by artificial intelligence.

It was snowing heavily outside, and the trees on the mountain were as lush as a tropical rainforest. Gu Ming was already used to this unscientific situation. Many things were not worth studying in the apocalyptic era.

Not long after, the chariot arrived in front of a valley. There was a large flat land in the valley. There were still some abandoned ores in the corner of the flat land. There was a six-story building directly in front of it, which should have been the office building of the former coal mining company. , and there is an eight-story building next to it. This building should be a workers' dormitory.

Gu Ming took Gu Xiao off the chariot. Both of them were fully armed. The coal mining company had been closed down for a few years. No one was here, which meant that there would be no zombies unless they came in from the outside. Various machines from the previous coal mining company were also If you can't see it, it must have been demolished long ago.

The two came to the office building. The outer wall of the office building was covered with plants. Cracks could be seen everywhere on the wall. It looked like a dangerous building. Gu Ming and the others did not go up to check. They knew what was going on inside even without looking.

They came to the big cave on the side of the valley. It was a mine. Gu Ming walked to the entrance of the mine and looked inside. He could see a long and deep tunnel with no bottom. He had heard that he had worked here before. The workers here have said that the mines here are hundreds of meters deep, and there is a large space below, which was formed by coal mining. After all, in the golden age of Xia Kingdom, coal mines were still very profitable. This Yuantao Coal Mining Company used to It can be regarded as a medium-sized coal mining company, with a yearly output of hundreds of thousands of tons. However, due to subsequent adjustments in national policies, many mining companies quickly went bankrupt without transformation.

All the equipment going down the mine had been dismantled. Gu Ming could only go back to the chariot and take out the prepared ropes. He asked Pangu to drive the chariot to the entrance of the cave, tie the rope to the baffle of the chariot, and then the two of them walked along. Slide down the rope. As for the safety issue from above, Pangu in the tank will monitor, and there are invisible drones in the sky for reconnaissance. If there is an unexpected situation, Pangu will notify Gu Ming through his bracelet. , so Gu Ming felt relieved and took Gu Xiao down.

Originally, the mine was very dark, and no sunlight could shine down, but Gu Xiao's body was emitting white fluorescent light. The principle was unknown to Gu Ming, but this was just a small function of Gu Xiao, and there was no need to use any other lighting tools. .

It took more than ten minutes to go down to the bottom of the mine. Gu Ming saw two passages. The air below was very bad. He put on a gas mask first. Gu Xiao, the robot, would not need it. He would remind him if there was any danger. .

Gu Ming chose one at random. Anyway, he would check the other one later, so it wouldn't be a big problem to see which one he chose first.

Walking in the quiet passage, you could only hear the sound of footsteps. If you were coming alone, Gu Ming might feel a little scared. This is the human fear of darkness and loneliness. Fortunately, Gu Xiao was following him. Although he is a robot, it also prevents him from feeling lonely.

After walking for more than ten minutes, there were two forks in the road ahead. Gu Ming made a mark and could only choose one passage. After walking for another ten minutes, the front suddenly opened up. It was a space the size of two football fields. It is four to five meters long. The top floor and the surrounding areas are reinforced with cement and steel plates. They should have been reinforced during mining, otherwise it would easily collapse.

"Chief, there's something ahead."

Gu Xiao dodged, stood in front of Gu Ming, and continued.

His eyesight was far inferior to that of Gu Xiao, who was a robot. Gu Ming still knew this, but he didn't know what was in front of him. Zombies should not be possible, they could only be mutated creatures. He asked in a low voice.

"Is it a mouse?"

"No, it's a big earthworm."

The light on Gu Xiao's body magnified, and the entire underground space was illuminated. Gu Ming could see something coiled up at the far end.

This is a white, enlarged version of the earthworm with a diameter of about two meters and a length of about thirty meters. It is so fleshy that it looks so disgusting.

Perhaps because of Gu Xiao's light, the big earthworm woke up. It raised its head high, opened its mouth wide, and its jagged teeth looked extremely sharp.

"Roar--"

The roar of the big earthworm echoed in the underground space. Gu Ming could see its big mouth and scarlet eyes. He just couldn't imagine how there could be such a big earthworm underground. What did it eat to grow up? Compared to when he was in Zi County, that is, Almost all the big snakes in Zhang Ting's hometown were killed by tank bombardment.

"Gu Xiao, go kill it."

"receive."

Gu Xiao immediately carried out Gu Ming's order and moved forward quickly, as if he was really flying on the ground.

The big earthworm was very angry that the small animal dared to challenge it. It slid forward, opened its mouth wide, and took a bite at the advancing Gu Xiao. It wanted to swallow him and eat him directly. This was its best prey. Way.

Gu Xiao's movements were very fast, but it did not affect his turn. He dodged past the big earthworm's mouth, and issued a two-meter-long laser knife from his palm, inserted it into its side, and with one stroke, pulled out a long Wound.

"Roar--"

The big earthworm rolled around in pain. Gu Xiao dodged its impact while using a laser knife to cut several times on its body. The white liquid, probably its blood, flowed all over the floor. It looked sticky and disgusting. Gu Ming was disgusted by the sight. You must know that he has been most afraid of things like earthworms since he was a child.

Creatures like earthworms were very tenacious before the end of the world. Even if they were cut in half, they could survive for a long time. It kept rolling because it couldn't bite Gu Xiao with its mouth, so it could only see if it could wrap him up with its body, but Gu Xiao's movements were very fast, and it was completely useless.

"Gu Xiao, attack its beast core."

Gu Ming knew that such an attack would not be fatal to the big earthworm. He could only find out its beast core. Zombies have brain cores, and mutant beasts also have beast cores, and the beast cores of mutant beasts have more energy points.

"receive."

Gu Xiao's eyes turned red, and he immediately saw a glowing red spot on its head, which should be the location of its beast core.

He jumped up hard, and before the big earthworm could react, Gu Xiao stabbed it into the back of the head with a laser knife, rotated it in a circle and dug hard, and he dug out the core of the beast. The big earthworm that was rolling just stopped immediately. It fell down and there was no movement.

Gu Ming knew it was dead, so it was a good thing he brought Gu Xiao with him, otherwise he would have had no choice but to run away.

After killing the big earthworm, the two checked the remaining tunnels again and found no problems. Gu Ming was going to exchange for a new base in the system store.
