Chapter 37: Mining Area: Attracted to Lin Mu

The mine tunnel was soon in front of them. This should be a mine tunnel they had recently excavated, and the exposed traces on the rock wall were still new.

Obviously, these few mine tunnels were for Kang Tianming and a few other leaders to live in.

It was larger than what they saw from the outside. There were two compartments inside the mine tunnel, with a wall in the middle and a small door opened.

They were standing in the outer room at this time. The room was brightly lit, with a few chairs and a table, and there was a rustling sound from the inner room.

Kang Tianming signaled a few people to sit down, and soon, a person came out from the inner room.

This person was fat, with a large nightgown draped crookedly on his body, and the buttons were not buttoned.

He had a cigarette in his mouth, and surprisingly, there was a thin woman behind him. Her clothes were disheveled, and it was obvious that he was just doing some indescribable exercise inside.

He impatiently said to the woman, “Get out.”

The woman nodded her head and left the mine tunnel. Lin Mu looked outside the door, and the woman went straight to the tent opposite.

A few people sat down, and Kang Tianming introduced, “This is my cousin, Kang Chengdong, the mine manager here.”

Kang Chengdong sat arrogantly behind the table, took a hard puff of his cigarette, crushed the cigarette butt on the table, and casually threw it back. He glanced at Lin Mu and the others, his face full of disdain.

“Where did you guys come from, what are you doing here?”

Fu Jingmo answered without asking, he didn’t even want to give Kang Chengdong a look, and he lazily opened his mouth.

“Who among you is a mutant?”

Kang Chengdong was very upset with Fu Jingmo’s disregard, glared at him, and was about to speak, but Kang Tianming interrupted him.

“Mr. Fu has good eyesight. I should be the mutant you mentioned. There is also a brother who can see at night outside the door, so as soon as you appeared, he saw it.”

Kang Tianming glanced at them a few times and continued, “You guys are also mutants, right?”

Although it was a question, Kang Tianming’s tone was assertive, and confident.

Fu Jingmo had no intention of answering.

He was not angry either, and said to himself, “That’s really impressive.”

They were evasive for a while, and then Kang Tianming said they originally came to the mining area as a group of seven for an environmental assessment, but they ended up being trapped here due to a heavy rainstorm.

It was not easy to wait until the rain stopped, but the virus broke out, and a large number of miners in the mining area were infected into zombies. If it weren’t for a few of them who became mutants, they wouldn’t be able to survive until now.

Now they have trapped all the zombies in the mining area at the low-lying area of the gate, and they are also responsible for taking care of the remaining living miners, which can be said to have done their best.

This set of rhetoric implicitly and explicitly made them the saviors of the survivors of the entire mining area, but who knows what the truth is.

Fu Jingmo looked impatient and had no interest in listening to these, let alone Kang Tianming’s gaze that stuck to Lin Mu from time to time.

“We need gasoline. Since this is your mining area, tell us, what do you want to exchange for it?”

“Heh,” Kang Chengdong sneered, eager to regain the ignored scene, “If you want it, just take it. Now gasoline is so precious, it can’t be exchanged for anything.”

Lin Mu frowned. Even if Kang Chengdong knew they were mutants, why would he still be so arrogant?

He took a step forward, “We won’t want too much. Your refueling point has enough gasoline. We only need a very small part.”

Compared to Kang Chengdong’s undisguised arrogance, Kang Tianming was more like a smiling tiger. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Mu.

“Lin Mu, it’s so dangerous outside, there are so many people in the city, full of zombies. Although this place is remote, it has electricity and water, and it’s safe. Why don’t you stay?”

Lin Mu shook his head. Although Kang Tianming’s voice was gentle, his gaze made Lin Mu very uncomfortable.

“We still have some things to do. There are also safe zones established by the army outside. As for Mr. Kang, haven’t you ever thought about going out? This place is damp and dark, without seeing the sun, do you want to stay here for a lifetime?”

This sentence was not polite, but Kang Tianming seemed to feel nothing, and still smiled at him.

He thought to himself that Lin Mu was very smart. He had been in this mining area for so long, and all were dull and dull miners. Lin Mu was not the same as these fools in the mining area.

Kang Tianming had a high self-esteem, and only people like Lin Mu were worthy of him.

“Let’s talk about the gasoline tomorrow. Now it’s getting dark. The mining area stipulates that it is not allowed to leave the mine after dark. Why don’t you eat something first and stay here for one night.”

Lin Mu glanced at Fu Jingmo, seeing that he had no objections, he agreed. Since it was someone else’s territory, at least be courteous before soldiers.

“In that case, thank you for your kindness, Mr. Kang.”

Kang Tianming took Lin Mu and the others to the third mine tunnel and let them rest there for the night.

Before leaving, he took a step closer to Lin Mu and said, “Think about it, I can make your life very good here.”

His gaze fell from Lin Mu’s eyebrows to his lips, Lin Mu felt a chill, and said coldly, “Thank you, no need.”

Kang Tianming seemed to not take Lin Mu’s words to heart, and left humming a tune.

A pair of cold eyes watched Kang Tianming’s back, Fu Jingmo was like a leopard whose territory had been violated by someone, his eyes were stern.
