Hidden Corner

 Chapter 30 030 Go to Four

"Yes, and it may be an artificial epidemic. This boy is probably one of the victims. It's not that they didn't want to come out, but they couldn't come out." Ding Chongyi nodded. "If the speculations of the company's think tank are correct, then you only need to actually go down to the parking lot and really understand its structure, and you can find the way for some special personnel to leave."

 Li Chengyi understood what she meant.

Since special personnel like the boy in white cannot leave, then what kind of person can leave freely?

 There is no doubt that he was the one behind this tragedy.

 “Then let’s get into the plan.” Li Chengyi paused and was about to ask.

Suddenly, a slight noise came from not far away.

They turned their faces sideways and looked over there. Several men in blue security uniforms were holding short sticks and arguing face to face with the construction site staff.

They seemed to want to come in, but were stopped by Little Yellow Riding Hood, and they started shouting loudly.

 “I’ll go take a look.” Song Ran said to Li Chengyi and the other two, and took the initiative to go over there.

"This is not the first time these people have come here to cause trouble. They have been here twice before you came, supervisor." The girl with the little yellow hat who followed explained in a low voice.

 “Where are you from?” Li Chengyi asked.

"It's a local company called Ash Real Estate. They said that this land is rented by them. The land has not expired yet, and idlers are not allowed to dig randomly." The girl in the little yellow hat answered.

 “Ai Xi again?” Li Chengyi looked at him from a distance.

After Song Ran passed by, just a few words later, the group of blue-clothed security guards who were obviously much shorter than him became intimidated and backed away one after another.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　click.

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound not far behind him, followed by a harsh breaking sound.

Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat and they hurriedly turned back in the direction behind them.

I saw a yellow excavator responsible for digging the hole. Thick black smoke was coming out of the engine at the bottom.

A sneaky figure was running out from behind the excavator and running into the distance.

"catch him!"

The little yellow hats shouted and chased after him.

"The machine is broken! An excavator is broken!" An engineer with a little yellow hat stepped forward to check and immediately shouted. "The engine was blown apart by something! Several parts were stolen!"

Excavators of this era are not just simple vehicles and shovels, but have precise hole-drilling structures. They can not only excavate soil, but also drill holes, and are extremely powerful.

The required engine horsepower is naturally extremely powerful, but now that one has been secretly destroyed and there is only one left, the next task will be heavier and the progress will be slowed down a lot.

Li Chengyi frowned and looked at the scene in front of him. Why does it feel like this person is deliberately delaying their excavation progress?

 He was just guessing. Now he has just passed through a dead end. He still has time, so he is not in a hurry. People from the company are here, so I believe they can handle it well.

 The shutdown of the excavator directly affects the progress.

Without saying much, Li Chengyi and Song Ran rested in the temporary cabin next to the construction site, waiting for the machine to be repaired.

These temporary huts are ready-made houses quickly built with simple iron sheets. Each one is a cube, only five meters long and wide, and has windows.

 The price is cheap, the structure is stable, and it is windproof, rainproof and sunproof. Generally, workers live there themselves.

 Neither of them cares about enjoyment, and the focus is on the construction site.

Meals are just instant meals delivered by the company and heated for consumption.

 For three consecutive days, several people were waiting for new parts to be delivered.

 Taking advantage of the time, Li Chengyi also went to Tia Mog and tried a theory of absorbing evil thoughts.

 It means taking the initiative to provoke others, and then beating them to subdue them, and then absorb the evil thoughts.

 The effect of this method was reached through the sacrifice of two young gangsters.

 Effective, but very weak.

 Evil thoughts increased from 45 to 49. And just these four points took him a full afternoon.

 This test was completed with the assistance of Song Ran, although the effect was weak.

 But Li Chengyi speculated that the value of the evil thoughts was probably related to the intensity of the malice directed at him.

 The weaker the will of a person, even if he has evil thoughts towards him, they will quickly dissipate and turn into other emotions, such as panic or fear.

“Perhaps, I can learn from Chainsaw in the future and design a game that can fully stimulate the potential of villains. A simple beating will inspire too weak evil thoughts.” ’

 Back at the construction site, on the fourth day, Li Chengyi got up in the morning, opened the door from the hut, and went out to get water to wash up.

I saw three white vans parked next to the construction site, with the words Land and Resources Bureau printed on the bodies in blue and black.

 A dozen government workers in shirts and trousers were talking to Song Ran and the leader, Huang Zhisheng, the person in charge of the little yellow hat.

Not long after, Song Ran came over to this side with a frown and whispered to Li Chengyi.

“People from the nearby land bureau insist that we go and register. They suspect that we are stealing mineral resources. On behalf of the company’s highest-ranking personnel, I have to go over and do a record review.”

 “How long will it take?” Li Chengyi frowned.

“I don’t know, but it shouldn’t take long.” Song Ran speculated.

 “Okay.” Li Chengyi nodded.

"You and Expert Ding wait here for a moment. I'll be back soon." Song Ran can be said to be the expert responsible for safety on their trip. With him gone, there are only a few staff left at the construction site, with basically no combat effectiveness.

But Li Chengyi had no idea. This was the country of Yi, and the official department came to ask for registration. It was impossible for them not to go.

Song Ran and Huang Zhisheng both drove together and followed people from the Land and Resources Bureau to the urban area dozens of kilometers away.

Watching Song Ran and others leave, Li Chengyi felt inexplicably that something was wrong.

"It seems that someone doesn't want us to continue digging." Ding Chongyi walked out of another hut on one side and approached here, speaking in a deep voice.

"Are these small measures meaningful? What else can we do besides delaying the process for a while?" Li Chengyi asked.

 “Isn’t delaying enough time enough?” Ding Chongyi smiled. Li Chengyi did not reply.

 Yes, that was enough for him, he was already a little impatient.

Having been here for a few days, the progress of the construction site is still extremely slow.

Although Ding Chongyi also gave a specific excavation route, various things happened one after another. As soon as the excavator was repaired, Song Ran and supervisor Huang Zhisheng were taken away.

His time is precious. Instead of wasting it here, it is better to return to Suiyang to continue training. Finding someone to absorb evil thoughts and complete the complete evolution of Hualinyi is the most important thing.

 No matter what you do, it is better than wasting your time here.

“Without Song Ran and the supervisor, are we going to be unable to dig it out?” Ding Chongyi suddenly said from the side.

 “What do you mean?” Li Chengyi looked at her in surprise.

“Keep digging!” Ding Chongyi said with a smile, “Since some people don’t want us to dig, then we must dig!”

 That's what she said, and that's what she did.

 That afternoon, she began to organize all the little yellow hats and began to use the repaired excavators and earth pumps to continue underground operations.

The construction site started to work in full swing again.

Li Chengyi was also a little relieved. The last time the human-faced monster had become extremely powerful in terms of strength and speed.

If Hualingyi hadn't completed his first evolution, he would definitely not be able to cope with the attacks on people's faces the next time he entered.

 You must know that after wearing the flower scale clothes, your energy and energy will be consumed every moment, so it cannot be worn at any time in daily life.

Once you fail to react in time, you may be killed by a sneak attack by the human-faced monster.

Even if he reacts in time, the next time he enters the Grievus parking lot, no one will let him escape, and he will have to rely on himself to carry it.

 Once you can’t find a way to leave completely

Thinking of this, Li Chengyi's eyes flashed with a haze, and a deep sense of crisis surged from his heart.

 It must be done as soon as possible!

 The excavation continued for several days.

finally.

 “It’s cleared!” A little yellow hat quickly knocked on Li Chengyi’s door.

 “Clear!?” Li Chengyi was in the room. He quickly put away the pistol he had put on the table for inspection, stood up, and opened the door.

 “Can we go in?” he asked hurriedly.

 It has been seven days since he came here.

For seven full days, he stayed here and could do nothing but exercise every day, do some basic training, and go fishing in the city.

 Hualingyi is also stuck at Evil Thought Absorption 55 and can’t get over it.

 Fortunately, now, there is finally a breakthrough.

"It's open. Ventilation and support point reinforcement are being carried out. People will be able to leave soon." The little yellow hat who informed the team simply said.

"Where's Expert Ding?" Li Chengyi breathed a sigh of relief. If he couldn't go down anymore, he would give up immediately and look for evil thoughts everywhere to absorb.

 “It’s already passed.” Little Yellow Riding Hood replied.

Li Chengyi quickly walked out of the tin hut.

 It was already afternoon outside and it was getting late.

The sound of waves sounded in the distance, and the setting sun dyed half of the sky red.

Bursts of hot and humid wind blew the clothes of everyone present.

At the construction site, the machine has stopped, and two ventilation ducts are constantly pumping air out.

“The engineering machines have already gone down to reinforce the passage, and they will be able to go down later.” Ding Chongyi, who was standing by the cave, saw Li Chengyi coming and explained briefly.

 “How can I get down soon?” Li Chengyi asked.

“Did you see that?” Ding Chong pointed to a roll of rope on the ground, a set of thick clothes with a helmet, and a portable oxygen bottle.

“Tie yourself up, put on protective clothing, and wear an oxygen mask before going down.”

Li Chengyi nodded and said nothing. He just stood aside and waited expectantly.

While waiting, suddenly a military green jeep drove slowly from the palm forest to a clearing in the distance.

There is no tag on the car. It looks brand new and seems to be new.

 The car was about to approach the excavation site.

A little yellow hat was separated from the construction site and stepped forward to stop him and shouted to the other party.

 Hum.

 Suddenly, the jeep's engine accelerated, and with a roar, it rushed towards the cave.

 The front of the car knocked open the little yellow hat, knocking the person out and leaving blood all over the ground. After hitting someone, the Jeep still didn't stop, but accelerated straight towards the cave.

 “Get out of the way!” Li Chengyi didn’t see what was going on, so he hurriedly pulled Ding Chongyi on and dodged to one side.

 The two quickly climbed out of the large pit around the cave and looked back.

There was no one in the jeep!

 “Unmanned driving!?” Li Chengyi reacted before he could recover.

　　Bang!

The jeep rushed down the pit and drove to the edge of the hole. A silver robotic arm stretched out from the bottom of the car and threw something into the hole with a grunt.

　　Boom!

 Not long after, a violent vibration spread from the ground.

 A deafening explosion, accompanied by orange fire, spewed out from the entrance of the cave.
