Chapter 41: Mining Area: Separate Actions

Two hours passed quickly. When Lin Mu woke up, the room was dark. Fu Jingmo was checking the things in his backpack by the table with a flashlight. He turned his head and looked behind him, “Awake.”

“Mm,” Lin Mu rubbed his eyes and sat up, turned around to call He Ze, who was still sleeping soundly in a “大” shape.

Sometimes it’s enviable to be so carefree.

Fu Jingmo finished sorting out the things, and He Ze was also woken up.

“I will go and notify the people over there first. When we start fighting, they can take the opportunity to leave by the well ladder. By the way, see if Wu Jin is watching outside, you guys wait for me here.”

He slung the backpack over his shoulder.

“Fu Jingmo…”

Lin Mu moved his mouth. They had never acted separately since the end of the world. The only time they separated, the bald man almost killed him.

He didn’t distrust Fu Jingmo, but he couldn’t help but worry a bit, if Wu Jin was always watching…

“Don’t worry, even if Wu Jin is watching, he is just an ordinary person.”

Fu Jingmo seemed to know what Lin Mu wanted to say, and gave a comforting look.

Lin Mu took a breath, indeed, he should trust Fu Jingmo. Fu Jingmo is the best soldier and the best superpower.

When they went down the mine, they didn’t expect that there would be the night vision superpower user below, so they were unprepared. Now that they know, Fu Jingmo won’t give him another chance to monitor.

“Brother Fu, you are the best, we will wait for you here.” He Ze looked serious, Fu Jingmo really was the most reliable person he had ever seen.

Time was pressing, the three of them didn’t say much, and Fu Jingmo flashed out of the door.

Their location was in the third mine. He left in the direction of the fourth mine, sticking to the rock wall. The mine was dim, with uneven rock walls, so no one could find them.

Night vision superpower user can see others, but it doesn’t mean they can hide themselves.

The moment Fu Jingmo came out, he observed the surroundings. Wu Jin was not around the mine, there were only two ordinary people dozing off in front of the mine.

He guessed that Wu Jin might be guarding a more important place, such as… the warehouse where the explosives are stored, heh.

Because the bottom is a huge circular space, as long as you stick to the rock wall and keep walking, you can get to the opposite tent area.

Fu Jingmo naturally has excellent concealment abilities, and no one can find him hidden in the darkness.

About ten minutes later, he arrived at the tent area.

Most of the people inside were already asleep. With the cover of the wooden board, he crouched down and found Xiao Yu and their location.

Perhaps they had figured it out during this time, Fu Jingmo didn’t waste words, and they indicated that they would leave in the chaos.

Xiao Yu’s mother confirmed their guess, there really were explosives.

They had already notified the nearby miners, knowing that there was a safe zone, many people were willing to fight to the death.

That’s how people are, once they know there is hope, they will do their best.

Fu Jingmo and Lin Mu are their hope, and the safe zone is also their hope.

He turned and left, he is not a savior, he can’t send people out one by one, they can only rely on themselves.

This is the end of the world, everywhere is a place that can cost people their lives, if they can’t adapt quickly, the outcome will only be death.

He returned to the mine the same way, Lin Mu was sitting in the chair waiting, seeing him come in, he breathed a sigh of relief.

“How did it go?”

The three of them sat together, and Fu Jingmo simply talked about the situation over there.

“I have already notified them, as for whether they run or not at that time, it’s not up to us to decide.”

He looked at Lin Mu, there are many choices in this world, and everyone needs to be responsible for their own choices.

They can’t help so many people, they can only provide an opportunity to leave.

“Mm, I understand.” Lin Mu nodded, they have done their best to do this.

Hopefully there’s no problem. Fu Jingmo then said his arrangement.

“The outside is just so big, I’ve touched around, there’s no place to hide more explosives, so, the explosives are in other places.”

“The minecart rails extend to both sides, there are only these two places, you and He Ze go one way, I go the other, first find the location of the explosives.”

As he spoke, Lin Mu’s eyebrows tightened bit by bit, but he knew that Fu Jingmo’s arrangement was currently the best.

“If we can, we should first control the place with the explosives, Kang Tianming is likely to be guarding the explosives, be careful.”

“Okay.”

Lin Mu nodded, he has killed zombies, but against people…

He didn’t know what it would be like when it really came to that moment, but he wanted to survive.

He still has Fu Jingmo and He Ze, they will survive in this apocalypse, even if it’s full of dangers.

“Be careful,” Fu Jingmo nodded at the two of them, pulled out the dagger inserted in his calf, and threw it to He Ze, “You can’t shoot where the explosives are, be careful.”

He Ze put away the dagger, “Brother Fu, you…”

Fu Jingmo raised his eyebrows at him, looking unconcerned, “Stop chattering, protect Lin Mu.”

The wooden door was opened, making a barely audible sound in the dark night.

Fu Jingmo went out first, and at the moment of leaving, he looked back.

Lin Mu hooked his lips, his expression was always faint, looking very calm.

Only he himself knew that in places where others couldn’t see, the hand placed by his side was trembling slightly.

He couldn’t always depend on Fu Jingmo, in the future there would be more situations like this where they would act separately.

Moreover, when they get to Fengcheng, they might all go their separate ways.

Outside was very dark, only two yellow mine lamps on the left rock wall, you can’t see people a few meters away.

Lin Mu and He Ze went to the left, one in front and one behind, sticking close to the rock wall.

They bypassed the two dozing people and quietly followed the minecart rails to the other end.

The mine entrance that the rails lead to was pitch black, and they couldn’t see a trace of light. They didn’t know what the other end of the rails looked like, whether there were explosives, and how many people were guarding it.

“Mumu,” He Ze tugged at his sleeve, “Be careful.”

Lin Mu nodded, thinking that he might not be able to see, and patted He Ze’s back of the hand, “Hold onto my clothes, don’t get lost.”

Inside the mine tunnel, you can’t see your fingers when you stretch out your hand, and there are occasionally broken stones on the ground. Lin Mu’s legs are slowly exploring the way forward along the rails of the mine tunnel.

He took out a cold light lamp that Fu Jingmo gave him from his pocket, it was very short, only the size of a palm.

The light was a pale purple color, very dim, and could only see less than half a meter of hazy light.

If that night vision superpower user is here, it doesn’t matter whether they turn on the light or not.

But if it’s an ordinary person, with such a cold light lamp, you can’t see the light ten meters away.

The two of them almost groped forward in the dark, the originally damp ground slowly became dry, they didn’t say another word, and moved forward with their bodies low. 

He didn’t know how long it had been, maybe half an hour, maybe an hour.

Lin Mu’s eyes flickered slightly, and he faintly felt a slight sound.

He came down from the side of the track and stuck close to the rock wall.

The rock wall here was also very dry, if the explosives were stored in this area, it would be quite reasonable.

He turned off the cold light lamp, put it back in his pocket, and walked forward for a while. Soon, he touched the front, which was a corner.

The hand stretched out to touch the corner, even a bit of wind blew through the horizontal passage, very cool.

And in this slight cold wind, the sound of talking became clear.

Lin Mu withdrew his hand, poked out the first bit of his head, and saw a warm yellow light, two to three hundred meters ahead.
