After crossing the motorcade, Xu Jiu and Jiang Le arrived at the watchtower.

The "tower" is actually a simple wooden outpost, with a room for two people to watch and rest on the top.

Xu Jiu gestured to Jiang Le to meet him below, and quickly climbed to the platform outside the post room with a roaring shotgun on his back.

Through the glass, Xu Jiu could see that the room was empty, only two sleeping bags and a heater in the middle,

"The post is unattended and there are no signs of battle."

I looked around on the two pieces of bread placed next to the two open backpacks in the corner and added another sentence

"The person on duty should have found something and left on his own initiative. He only ate part of the food he carried."

"The convoy continues to move forward. You stand by and gather at the entrance of the mine."

There was no useful information in the post, so Vanessa had to go inside the mine to check the situation.

As the coal mine here is a standard underground coal mine, and its surface part is only a small hill, even if it is hollowed out, it can not ensure the life of the famine victims. Therefore, as early as more than ten years ago, Wushan gathering point used a lot of human and material resources to open up the original mine cave and built a small town underground for the famine victims to live a normal life.

Of course, this town is actually an underground mine with living facilities, and the environment is even worse than Yu Sui town. Even so, there are still a large number of famine people who want to be one of them.

After all, for many homeless people, having a place to supply clean water and sleep safely can cost them their lives.

The mine has only one entrance and exit, which is in front of the hollowed out hill. In fact, it is also a hidden parking lot and transit warehouse, which is convenient for material handover when Yu Sui town arrives here.

However, what was in front of everyone was a mess.

The door that should have been closed was open, covered with dark red blood stains and messy rut marks above, as well as the blood gas that is still strong and difficult to ignore under the wind and snow.

Xu Jiu behind the crowd looked at the inner elevator channel from the beginning. Half of the iron gate nearly two meters long and wide was removed and leaned against the wall. Several scratches were eye-catching.

All the clues point to the same conclusion. It was attacked not long ago!

"All staff keep alert. Go to two people to check the elevator. Others patrol around and report any news immediately."

After a brief silence, Vanessa quickly gave instructions for the next step and entered the mine first.

The coal resources here are not allowed to be lost. There are several other mobile cities in yusui town. The next operation must rely on them. You know, this cold winter has just begun!

Lift the mask on the helmet, the dry and cold air makes Xu Jiu subconsciously frown, turn around and look at the snowy wasteland with increasingly dim light, and sweep his watch.

16：35

In half an hour, the wilderness will be completely dark.

"Mario, how likely do you think the situation here is caused by parasitic animals?"

Xu Shi's previous conversation in the dry port and his experience of jointly exploring the post made Jiang Le think he had some friendship with Xu Jiu. In this high-pressure and dangerous environment, he took the initiative to approach Xu Jiu walking around alone and asked in a low voice.

In fact, like other team members, he secretly observed the "outsider". For the time being, at least the calm expression on Xu Jiu's face is none of them except the captain and vice captain.

"It's a little strange. The ruts here show that some people should have fled the mine. There are still a lot of people, and there is only one entrance and exit. If the monsters attacking here enter the underground mine through the elevator, how did they leave?"

The diversity of parasitic animals after mutation makes it difficult to judge whether they are responsible for the situation here through on-site traces. Therefore, Xu Jiu's attention focused on other places from the beginning.

"Didn't the monster enter the underground mine or be solved at the bottom... That's not right. If it was solved, what did they run for? And why didn't they go to Wushan gathering point after they fled?"

Jiang Le subconsciously took Xu Jiu's words, and then found that there was a contradiction.

Just going on, there was a new discovery on the elevator.

"Report to the captain, the mechanical winch of the elevator was damaged by impact, and the electric device also had problems. We didn't bring repair tools and couldn't operate the elevator again."

Obviously, the way monsters enter the underground mine is not gentle.

"Factory map."

Vanessa raised her hand and a drawing was immediately handed over.

"Use rope to speed down. The nearest position from the underground mine to the ground should be no more than five meters. As long as you reach the first floor underground, other areas can be reached through the elevator inside the mine."

Da da~

Two high-power searchlights were placed around the elevator shaft to disperse the darkness at the bottom. This time, the adjutant took the lead.

Hold the rope with one hand and fall down at a very fast speed. Soon, Xu Jiu's headset heard the information obtained by the other party,

"The access door on the ground floor is automatically locked due to the damage of the elevator. I should be able to open it, but doing so will produce noise, which may attract the attention of possible monsters in the mine."

"The whereabouts of so many of us can't be hidden. Sooner or later, we'll meet them. Don't worry about anything, just do it!"

"I see!"

When the voice fell, the elevator shaft banged, followed by another numbing metal friction sound.

Xu Jiu could probably imagine the adjutant hanging in mid air and tearing the iron door with his bare hands.

After about a few minutes, with the sound of heavy objects landing, the channel was successfully opened, and the rest was simple. In addition to leaving two people to guard at the entrance of the channel to ensure that there would be no accidents in the back road, the remaining seven people quickly entered the underground mine through ropes.

The searchlights on both sides of the helmet are turned on, and more than a dozen light beams scatter to the outside of the channel opening. The dust on the ground is dazzled in the light. Not only does it not give people a sense of security, but the darkness in the mine where the lighting equipment has stopped working is becoming more and more obscure and deep.

The cold wind at the entrance of the passage made a "hissing ~" sound similar to that of snakes when they spit messages. The team suddenly became silent, and the atmosphere was dignified and gloomy.

Patter~

The crisp sound of opening the lid sounded behind the crowd, and a strange smell suddenly filled the air.

Snoring~

Xu Jiu took a thermos and sipped the still hot nutritional soup inside. When he put it down, he found that all the lights were reflected on his face. He was stunned for two seconds and spit out the medlar he had just accidentally drunk in his mouth,

"I may have to fight later. I'll warm myself up with a mouthful of broth. Isn't it too much?"
