Chapter 241: Mysterious Ore
“Little Cheng is already dead! Are you crazy?!” Han Erhong finally couldn’t help but roar. How could a dead person come back to life?
“I don’t care!”
Han Erhong really wanted to slap her. “What don’t you care about? You take care of yourself. Don’t run around recently!”
With that, Han Erhong turned and left.
“Han Erhong! How can you be so heartless?! All you have in your heart is work! Do you still have me? Do you still have Little Cheng?! Han Erhong, you come back to me!”
However, the more she shouted, the farther Han Erhong walked. She watched as the car drove away.
The woman collapsed to the ground and cried helplessly. At the door, a person in a hood walked in and stopped in front of the woman.
“Who are you? Get out!”
“I can bring your son back to life.”
The woman was stunned upon hearing this. Only then did she slowly look up, unable to see the man’s face clearly.
“How?”
The man took out a syringe. Inside was a transparent liquid. “Inject this into your son’s body, put his corpse in a sauna, and maintain a temperature of fifty degrees for a day. Your son will come back to life.”
“Are you from the outside? You want to turn my son into a zombie?”
“Heh heh, don’t you disbelieve it? Besides, even if he really does change, isn’t this another way of being with you? Are you willing to let him lie alone in a coffin, thinking of his mother, but only having endless darkness?”
Seeing the woman silent, the man just placed the syringe on the ground. “It’s up to you to decide. Maybe your son can even become a so-called Deviant. It’s better than being dead.”
Watching the man gradually walk away, the woman looked down at the syringe. After an internal struggle, she gripped it in her hand.
Since you won’t save him, I’ll save him myself!
…
At noon, Tang Ze walked out of the mine tunnel, shouldering a shovel. This was really hard labor.
“Little Tang, can’t take it after just one day?” Xu Hou came over and teased again.
Tang Ze, gnawing on a bug cake, let out a long sigh. “This is really not a job for humans. If you don’t suffocate, you’ll die of depression.”
“Isn’t that right? Most of the time is spent in the mine tunnel, without seeing the sun.”
Just as he finished speaking, a car drove in. Xu Hou also quickly went over, seemingly having received a mission.
The car quickly left. Xu Hou looked at the crowd with a grim face.
“Old Xu, what’s the matter?”
Xu Hou helplessly picked up a loudspeaker and stood on a platform, shouting, “Everyone, the higher-ups have instructed that from now on, weekend breaks are cancelled and will be replaced by a two-shift system.”
“What! Are they trying to kill us?!”
“Fuck! I quit! I’ll go outside and have fun for a day if I can!”
That’s what they said, but did they really dare to go out? They would probably freeze to death before even reaching the city.
“Sigh, finish your bug cakes quickly and get some rest.” Xu Hou patted Tang Ze’s shoulder and went with the other small leaders to make a shift schedule.
Tang Ze watched the trucks transporting coal out one by one. Although he didn’t really understand, was such a large consumption necessary?
Even digging twenty-four hours a day without stopping.
Amidst curses, the workers returned to their dormitories to rest. Tang Ze was the same.
Just as he opened the door, Tang Ze said helplessly, “Why are you here?”
Qian’er walked out from behind the door. “Master.”
Tang Ze rolled his eyes and first went to pour a glass of water. “Are you homeless? So weak, and you were a female special agent.”
“So I couldn’t help but investigate a little. The results will definitely surprise the Master.”
Tang Ze let out a “ho ho” and directly pulled Qian’er into his arms. “If you can surprise me, then I’ll surprise you.”
A look of desire appeared in Qian’er’s beautiful eyes. After all, it had been a long time since she had received the Master’s favor. If she didn’t show some results, she didn’t know how long she would have to wait. Sometimes she missed being tormented by the Master.
“Master, do you know where the coal you’re digging is being transported to?”
Tang Ze slapped her, making Qian’er’s spring heart flutter. “You’ve got some nerve, trying to keep me in suspense.”
“Qian’er wouldn’t dare. The coal is being transported to a warehouse. I infiltrated it and discovered that they are screening for a special kind of ore inside. The useless coal is then transported away.”
“A special ore?” Tang Ze asked with confusion.
Qian’er let out a low laugh. “Master, do you know how they deal with Deviants?”
“I’ll have to teach you a lesson today.”
However, not only was Qian’er not afraid, she was even a little eager, craving to be taught a lesson.
“Hmph, I won’t teach you a lesson. I’ll make you anxious.” Tang Ze immediately understood Qian’er’s little thought. She was deliberately making him angry.
“Master, hit me…”
Tang Ze: “…”
No, was I too harsh the first time? Is there something wrong with her psychologically now?
“Alright, talk first, then we’ll hit.”
With Tang Ze’s words, Qian’er took out a black, round stone from her pocket, only the size of a thumb. “It’s this kind of ore.”
“This thing can deal with virus-fused individuals?” Tang Ze held it in his hand and looked at it, but he couldn’t see anything special.
“I thought so too at the time. So I went to another city and found a virus-fused person to experiment on. As long as a virus-fused person gets close, they will become exceptionally weak.”
“This little thing is so awesome?” Tang Ze examined it carefully. This was simply the natural enemy of virus-fused individuals, just like Superman’s natural enemy was Kryptonite. The same principle.
“Actually, the so-called temperature test is just a front. Those people all carry this kind of ore. As long as a virus-fused person gets close, there will be an immediate reaction.”
Tang Ze pinched Qian’er’s cheek. “This surprise of yours is indeed not bad. Not killing you back then was the right decision. Look at the other women; they’re probably all just playing with themselves.”
There is no harm without comparison.
“Master, this isn’t even the bigger surprise.”
“There’s more?”
Tang Ze suddenly looked at Qian’er with new eyes. This intelligence gathering skill was very strong.
“That Mr. Hu seems to think this ore has other uses. There’s a special laboratory next to that warehouse.”
“Is the production high?” Tang Ze asked.
“Not high.”
“If you put it that way, no wonder they’re requiring twenty-four-hour digging today. It seems their experiments need more ore. Could they be developing something powerful?” Tang Ze was immediately expectant. He hadn’t expected to have really come to the right place by coming to dig coal.
“And…”
Tang Ze let out a “ho ho.” “Little Qianqian, you’re a little cute.”
Qian’er was secretly pleased. Her hard work was indeed correct. Effort naturally brought rewards.
“The company, Juding, Giant Arm, and a few small forces all have people here. It seems they received the news long ago and have been lurking in Fengshi.”
“Hahaha, this is getting fun. Tell me, what do you want?” Tang Ze lifted Qian’er’s chin. How could he treat such a top-tier, beautiful woman poorly after she had worked so hard to gather intelligence?
Qian’er said with a soft voice, “I want the Master to train me, the fierce kind.”
“Then there’s only an hour and a half. I still have to dig coal in the afternoon.”
Qian’er: “…”
Is digging coal more important than me?
