Boom ~ ~
The engine roared.
Jiang He issued a command with a thought.
"Activate autonomous vehicle. Destination: Ningdong Mines."
The sports car sped away, rapidly leaving the village.
"So I'm not unable to sleep because I'm bored, but because I'm worried about being ambushed by the Tranquil Heavenly General and the Earth Demon Heavenly General. That's why I can't sleep!"
Jiang He leaned back on his seat, a fierce glint in his eyes.
The Sky Demon Cult was truly deranged.
How could he use such a vicious scheme to destroy his will?
The car was fast.
And Jinyintan Village was just an hour's drive away from the Ningdong Mines.
Before the Ningdong Mining Area was abandoned, it could be said that it was famous throughout the country. It was the first town in the Xixia Province. The underground of this place was rich in mineral resources. The proven reserves of coal exceeded 100 billion tons. In total, there were more than 200 large and small coal enterprises, chemical plants, power plants, and energy plants.
Though it was just a town, its prosperity did not lose out to county towns or even city districts.
However, the skyscrapers were now empty, and there were signs of Feral destruction everywhere. The town appeared extremely run-down and silent in the middle of the night.
Jiang He's sports car broke the silence of the night.
Screech!
The red sports car did a beautiful drift and stopped beside a square.
Jiang He opened the car door and alighted.
During this period of time, he had developed the habit of eating a carrot before and after meals, so his night vision had improved a lot. Looking around, he saw that there were still some stalls on the street that hadn't been moved in time, and some cars that hadn't been driven away in time.
He continued along the street, finding several corpses by the roadside.
On both sides of the street, some of the shops had their shutters drawn, while others were wide open.
Jiang He entered a supermarket, which was covered in dust. Many of the shelves were toppled over, and goods were strewn everywhere. Most of the goods had passed their warranty, though some of them were still usable.
After all …
It had been less than two years since the Ningdong Mines was attacked by Ferals.
Diagonally across from the supermarket was a Chow Tai Fook gold shop.
"Eh?"
Jiang He's gaze twitched. The gold shop's door must have been closed before, but someone had smashed it open with brute force. From the looks of the damage on the door, it was not too long ago.
It was easy to imagine how chaotic it must have been at that time. Everyone was running for their lives. Most people didn't have the time to care about worldly possessions at such a critical juncture.
"Now, this place has become a no-man's land, a wilderness. Law and order have ceased to exist here. It's inevitable that greedy people will come to the Ningdong Mining Area to raid it."
Jiang He thought to himself.
He found two dead bodies in the shop.
The corpses were different from the skeletons outside. They had probably only been dead for a few days and had not yet started to rot. One of the corpses had probably been punched in the temple, and half of its head had been flattened.
The other corpse was lying on the ground with a dagger stuck in his body. His heart must have been pierced through from the back.
"The two of them were ambushed and killed. They were probably unprepared before they died."
"The ones who killed them should be their companions."
When he thought about the fact that this was a gold shop … the reason was self-evident.
Jiang He strolled around and found that some buildings had collapsed into rubble, just as there were traces of Ferals rampaging and bombs detonating on the streets.
"Oh right …"
"Duan Tianhe had only deduced that the Tranquil Heavenly General and the Earth Demon Heavenly General were hiding in the Ningdong Mines, but where exactly?"
Jiang He suddenly remembered a very serious question then.
The Ningdong Mining Area was so big that there were countless hiding places in the town. Moreover, there were many coal mines and factories of various sizes within a hundred miles of the town. How could he find them?
"Throw a few pea bombs to create a commotion and attract them?"
"Shout 'I'm Jiang He' a few times and summon the Tranquil Heavenly General and the Earth Demon Heavenly General to kill me?"
"Or should we conduct a carpet search of the entire Ningdong Mining Area? This method is too unrealistic. "
Suddenly, Jiang He had an idea.
He took out an orange calabash from the system Backpack.
He focused his gaze and data appeared in front of him.
[Second Baby]
"Clairvoyant, clairaudient, good at scheming."
"Usage: Blow it to use."
"Gentle reminder: Remember to charge before use. Charging method: bask in the sun."
Holding the orange bottle gourd, Jiang He blew at it.
Pow!
An orange mist wafted out and landed on the ground, turning into a braided doll wearing an orange dudou and an orange calabash. The doll appeared to be around six or seven years old, and it was sucking its thumb while smiling sweetly at Jiang He.
"Gramps!"
"…"
Jiang He had the urge to f * ck Dumbo.
Were those seven babies not septuplets?
They all looked identical, and even their thumb-sucking motion was equally vivid. If not for the difference in color, Jiang He would not be able to tell who was who even if they stood side by side.
The only thing that comforted Jiang He was …
Second Baby's big eyes looked clearer, unlike Eldest Baby's. It was obvious that he was a simple-minded person.
"Second Baby, how far can your clairvoyant see and clairaudient hear?"
Second Baby cocked its head in thought, before saying, "Gramps, I can see ants and hear the wind from two hundred miles away, but I could feel that my abilities could improve!"
"Just two hundred miles?"
Jiang He muttered.
Clairvoyant and clairaudient … was that not an exaggeration?
Still, two hundred miles was enough.
Grabbing Second Baby with one hand, Jiang He cast the Second Practice of Blind Princess's Eight Practices. Moving like a phantom, he arrived at the rooftop of an eighteen-story building in a few flashes, which was the tallest building in the Ningdong Mines.
Slapping Second Baby on the back of the head, Jiang He grumbled, "Hurry up and look. What are you spacing out for?"
"Help me take a look and see if there are any relatively strong people nearby."
Standing at the edge of the rooftop, Second Baby's lips twitched as he mumbled to himself. Then, putting his index and middle fingers together, he rubbed them over his eyes —
Whoosh!
Two solid orange flashes shot out of Second Baby's eyes, shooting over a dozen meters away …
Still, he found nothing after looking around.
Second Baby sprawled on the ground again, listening carefully.
After listening for an entire minute, he suddenly cursed through clenched teeth, "Gramps, there are two baddies talking about killing you fifty miles to the southeast. Damn them!"
Feeling indignant, Second Baby pleaded, "Gramps, release my brothers. We'll help you take care of those two baddies!"
…
In the abandoned mines.
The Tranquil Heavenly General had waited for three whole days, and finally received the information he wanted half an hour ago.
The first thing he saw was a photo of Jiang He.
Flipping a page, he saw a document sent to him in the form of a picture.
"Jiang He."
"Male, twenty-five years old, born on the tenth day of the second lunar month, on the twenty-ninth day of the twenty-fourth lunar month, born in the year of the monkey … parents passed away at a young age …"
The pile of information even recorded Jiang He's part-time jobs in university, but there was no record of Jiang He's martial arts cultivation.
Resisting the urge to smash the phone, the Tranquil Heavenly General cursed, "Trash, a bunch of trash. That's all you got for three whole days?"
Beside him, the Earth Demon Heavenly General was all smiles. "It's not really trash, though. Isn't Jiang He's home address included?"
