"How old is the little girl?"

On the way to the geological mine, Tang Zheng asked casually.

He left Xiaoye with Zheng Lanlan as protection.

Such a little girl, when her father went out to mining, she was alone and played nearby, which was very dangerous.

"I just turned six, and I'm lucky. After the transfer, my daughter was not far away from me... Otherwise, I really couldn't imagine what would happen... especially the heavy rain disaster." Even if it was just memories, Zheng Xun's face was filled with palpitations and fears.

That heavy rain was simply a nightmare for all mankind. With two more rounds of such a disaster, no one knows how many people can be left in human beings.

"Where is your wife?"

When it comes to this, Zheng Xun is silent.

Tang Zheng didn't ask any more questions.

The two of them came to the natural geological mine. Tang Zheng looked down towards the crack. The ground seemed to have been torn apart, with a depth of about 30 meters.

Under the refraction of the sun, the exposed rock mass is shining with a metallic luster.

This mineral is extremely rich, but most of the ore in the sight is attached to cliffs and is difficult to mine.

"Boss, here." Zheng Xun shouted at Tang Zheng, and pointed to a gap dozens of meters away.

Tang Zheng mentioned it just now, don’t call him the boss.

Tang Zheng felt a little uncomfortable when he made a brother who was about ten years older than him scream.

But Zheng Xun insisted that Tang Zheng had to go with him.

Following Zheng Xun to the gap, Tang Zheng found that a staircase had been chiseled out of the road down the mine.

The steps are steep and steep, and if you are not careful, you will fall into a deep pit of thirty meters.

The surroundings are full of sharp ore, so it is hard to die.

"Did you chisel this step?"

"Yes, when I first discovered here, it was all these steep rock bodies, and it was very difficult to go down to mine, so I dug a staircase." Zheng Xun smiled, wiping the sweat from his forehead, and contrasting with his black face, white teeth.

Without the obstruction of the forest, this deserted rocky hill seems particularly hot.

Tang Zheng looked at the stairs that were directly connected to the bottom of the crack, and for a moment he felt a little awe-inspiring.

A height of more than 30 meters is more than 10 meters, relying on the most primitive tools to dig out a step path bit by bit, and in the process, any mistakes are likely to be a dead end.

Tang Zheng guessed that even in the first few days, he would not dare to work hard to mine like this.

"Oh, you don't need to pity me, either." As if seeing through Tang Zheng's eyes, Zheng Xun sighed again: "I used to be a high-level worker. The tall building that is hundreds of meters long, building walls, tiles, and waterproofing are much more dangerous than this. Now I have been transferred to another world. I have earned more than I did every day, and I have lived more freely than before."

As he said that, the rough man looked back at the direction where his daughter was with tenderness: "When you save enough money, buy a construction puppet, and then open a greenhouse, and Lan Lan will have a future life."

Tang Zheng did not see any complaints in his eyes, but saw a bit of contentment and happiness.

Actually, thinking about it, how many people are wandering around in this other world.

It was a great blessing for him to be with his daughter.

"Boss, I'll go down first, follow me slowly." After a pause, Zheng Xun did not waste any more time. Facing Tang Zheng, he held the steps with his hands and started walking down little by little.

It is more like a ladder than a staircase.

Zheng Xun reached out to support the stairs, pulled down one square with his hands, and pushed down one square with his feet, as if he was climbing a ladder, carefully.

After he settled on the ground in the crack, Tang Zheng followed closely behind.

However, compared to Zheng Xun's carefulness, Tang Zheng's basic strength of 29 points was greatly helpful at this moment.

A pair of palms fit on the steps, and with a little force, it will be like a vise, firmly holding the steps.

I successfully got to the geological mine.

"This is where I took photos of you yesterday." Zheng Xun led the way and soon arrived at his destination.

Tang Zheng leaned forward and looked at it, and immediately showed joy.

A large area of ​​saltpeter mine!

Spread across the wall.

Judging from the color of the rock body, it looks like a brand new wall.

It should be a path that Zheng Xun dug out in the past two days.

A rough estimate shows that the purification results will require at least 100 parts of saltpeter.

Gunpowder is a civilized weapon, so the more abundant the materials, the better.

"Boss, I'll leave the rest to you. I can't chisel..." Zheng Xun smiled bitterly, took a few steps back, and gave the position to Tang Zheng.

Tang Zheng flipped his wrist and a brand new iron pickaxe appeared in his hand.

"I'll go! Boss, you even have an iron pickaxe..." Zheng Xun knew the goods. After seeing the quality of the pickaxe in Tang Zheng's hand, he was so amazed that he couldn't stop talking.

Tang Zheng thought of something and asked again: "Did you know me before? Or, have you seen me?"

Zheng Xun shook his head.

No wonder.

When Tang Zheng came, she was quite puzzled. She had shown her face in the ruins before and was well-known in the forum.

But Zheng Xun seemed to turn a blind eye to the matter outside the window. He was not the other person except the boss who paid him wages.

"What's wrong, boss?"

"No." Tang Zheng shook her head without explaining too much.

This is also pretty good.

Let's get along in this capacity.

Soon, Tang Zheng picked up the iron pickaxe in his hand, aimed it at a saltpeter mine and smashed it hard.

"Cheong!!"

The sharp collision sound made Tang Zheng's ears tingle.

A powerful counter-shock shocked his arms, and the tiger's mouth hurt slightly.

Fortunately, I have retreat enhancement, otherwise this blow would not have shocked me to take half a step back.

"The difficulty of mining this exquisite mineral is too outrageous..." Tang Zheng gritted her teeth and said in her heart.

But saltpeter mine is an irreplaceable material for gunpowder, and he did not intend to give up.

After a moment, he raised the iron pickaxe again.

"Hey!"

"Cheong!!"

"drink!"

Chime!

Chime!

Chime!

The sound of knocking echoed in the huge cave.

Zheng Xun first saw that Tang Zheng had difficulty mining saltpeter mines, and thought he was going to give up.

After all, young people today are no less hardworking than those of him, who are in their thirties or forties, especially those who seem to be small businessmen, who have money in their pockets, and they will not be willing to waste their efforts.

But gradually, with Tang Zheng's unstoppable movements, Zheng Xun's eyes showed some surprise and emotion.

Once, then again.

The iron pickaxe hit the solid mineral hard, making a harsh sound.

The pickaxe has begun to wear out.

He did not give up.

Every time you put your hand in, the effect is minimal.

It's good luck to be able to splash a little spark.

He did not give up.

On his palms, the tiger's mouth has been worn red, and his wrists are also shaking gently.

He still didn't give up.

The speed is not fast, and it is not fast every time you smash it.

But the strength I put in can feel that I try my best every time.

"The boss I am with seems not just a business mind..." Zheng Xun thought to himself.

Of course, Tang Zheng couldn't hear these thoughts.
To be continued...
