  Chapter 61 Secret passage

  Out of the inner city, the atmosphere suddenly changed.

  The market is still lively, with people coming and going, but every few steps you can see people like the Huo Mansion patrolling the crowd.

   At the slightest sign of trouble, they held down the weapons at their waists.

  Walking in the market, you can clearly feel the stares like needles, which are warnings not to make trouble here.

  Zhou Jia didn't stay too long, just asked about the price of the recent food, then headed down towards his tree house.

  ‘The price of japonica rice has doubled again. '

  ‘According to the economics of the earth, if the price of ordinary things doubles, half of the people who can afford it will not be able to afford it. '

  ‘And doubling the price of food will make half of the people unable to eat, and even…’

  ‘Starve to death! '

  'It seems that the number of foreigners entering Huojiabao this time is so large that the food output here is far from being able to provide. '

  ‘No wonder the people in the market are so nervous. If they have nothing to eat, they will drive them to a dead end. '

  ‘Plus some people are secretly contributing to the flames, no wonder it is so chaotic! '

   "click..."

  The abnormal sound under his feet made Zhou Jia stop, he raised his foot and pushed the leaves on the ground, and two pieces of broken bones came into view, as well as the dirty blood that couldn't be washed away.

   Frowning slightly, he casually flipped through the fallen leaves nearby.

  Bones, blood stains, meat residue...

  Under the thick fallen leaves, there are all these things. The **** smell has not completely dissipated, and it can be vaguely discerned that the fierce fighting was once.

   This is the main road!

   In the inner city, I just heard that the outer city is in chaos recently.

  In order to suppress the chaos, the Huo Mansion mobilized experts from major families and forces, and worked hard for more than half a month before it was considered to be getting better.

  However, the details of how the law was disrupted are just rumors, but I have never seen it with my own eyes. There are occasional chaos in the inner city, and it will calm down after a while.

  The traces in front of my eyes can explain a thing or two.

  Depending on the situation, on this main road, more than a hundred people were killed, and the blood almost stained the nearby ground.

  Other places, one can imagine.

  Back to the tree house, as expected, the place has been turned upside down, even the inner room was not spared, fortunately it was not occupied.

   Putting the package on the bed, Zhou Jia sighed softly.

  The familiar room did not bring him much sense of security. Just looking at the traces in the room, he knew how many waves of people had come during this period.

  The trap outside the door needs to be arranged again.

Um…

  Strengthen!

   "Brother Zhou."

   A hoarse voice sounded from outside the door:

"You're back."

   "Brother Angie." Zhou Jia stood up and looked at his neighbor Angie, who was lame, had rotten teeth, and smelled bad, but often showed enthusiasm:

   "How is your time?"

   "Hey!" Angie smiled wryly:

   "Survival depends entirely on fate. It's better for you, I went to the inner city to hide."

   "You can do it too." Zhou Jia shrugged.

   "I would like to." Angie sighed:

   "But when I enter the city, the ancestors I want to bring up are more expensive than me. How can I have so much money in my pocket?"

   Regarding this, Zhou Jia said that he was helpless.

  The other party was originally rich, but they all entered the bottomless pit of the casino.

   "But I'm a blessing in disguise." After sighing, Angie smiled:

   "During this period of time, the people who died in the outer city could not be caught. Relying on a few animals, I picked up a lot of things and got a lot of money."

   "I think, now is the time when my luck is at its peak!"

   Zhou Jia knew what the other party was going to say.

as predicted.

   "Wait a minute, I will go to Liuren Hall to kill the Quartet, Brother Zhou, do you want to go together?"

   "No."

   Zhou Jia shook his head:

   "I can't play with those things."

   "It's a pity!" Angie looked regretful, as if Zhou Jia had missed the most wonderful thing in the world.

   "By the way, someone was looking for you two days ago. It seems to be someone from the mine. The person is in a hurry, and I want you to go to the mine quickly."

   "Really?" Zhou Jia nodded:

"I see."

  ...

  The mine was the same as before, and it seemed that it had not been affected by the chaos during this period, but the people in charge of patrolling looked nervous.

  The arrival of Zhou Jia made Andrew stunned, and subconsciously said:

   "Are you alive?"

   "What?" Zhou Jia's expression sank:

   "I don't look like a living person."

   "No." Andrew shook his head first, and then seemed to think of something, with anger appearing on his face, he asked loudly:

   "Since you are still alive, why don't you come to the mine during this time?"

"do you know…"

"Snapped!"

  Before he finished speaking, he was slapped away by a sudden slap.

   Zhou Jia showed displeasure, and lightly shook his arm:

   "You seem to have forgotten, who is the deputy director here, should I remind you again?"

"you…"

  The side of Andrew's face was red and swollen. Seeing Zhou Jia approaching, his voice couldn't help being stuck in his throat. He opened his mouth and shrank back.

   "What's going on?" Zhou Jia snorted softly, scanning the audience:

   "What's going on here?"

   "Return to the deputy director." A patrol officer said:

   "A miner discovered a secret passage below, which is suspected to be the passage used by Director Cao to smuggle ore."

   "Oh!" Zhou Jia's eyes moved slightly.

   No wonder!

   "Is everyone here?"

   At this moment, Samuel, who was dressed in a smart outfit, rushed over, and when he saw Zhou Jia, he was also stunned like Andrew:

   "Are you alive?"

   Before Zhou Jia could speak, she looked at Andrew again, frowning:

   "What happened to your face?"

"never mind!"

   Neither Zhou Jia nor Andrew was the target of her concern. After asking casually, she waved her hand without waiting for an answer:

   "Quick, go down and have a look!"

  Recently, things have not gone well for her.

  Especially the plan to catch a wealthy son-in-law was repeatedly thwarted, causing everyone to be displeased, and he frequently beat and scolded his subordinates.

  In Samuel’s heart, the people in the mine are tools for her to marry into a wealthy family, Zhou Jia and Andrew are not much different.

  As long as you are honest and obedient, she is not in the mood to care at this time.

  As for the disobedient...

   In her mine, there is no disobedient one!

   A group of people hurried to the mine, the dark and damp mine road, even with a torch, it can only illuminate a few steps away.

   "Kachacha..."

  At the end of the darkness, the miner leading the way pointed forward and said in a low voice:

   "Director, the secret passage is just ahead."

   "Let's go then!" Samuel glared at him.

   "But..." Under the firelight, the miner's face turned pale:

   "None of the several groups of people who went in before came back alive. Listening to the sound, there seems to be some... monster in the secret passage?"

   "So what?" Samuel's voice was cold:

   "I told you to go, you go, why so much nonsense!"

"you!"

  She pointed to several miners:

   "Let's go together!"

  The miners froze and looked at each other, both of whom could see the fear in each other's eyes, but they had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk forward.

  A personal figure, one after another, plunged into the darkness.

   After a while.

   "Everything about it..."

"what!"

   There was a scream, followed by the sound of footsteps getting closer, but it stopped abruptly after a while.

  The death of the miner did not move Samuel. She listened for a moment, pondered for a while, looked at the patrolling personnel who followed, and said in a cold voice:

   "Go in, take the torches!"

  The expressions of several patrolling personnel changed, their mouths opened, and then they picked up the torches one by one, and walked cautiously towards the dark place.

  Different from the miners, most of the patrol personnel have the strength of the third and fourth ranks. After walking for a while, there is a strange noise.

"what!"

"Help!"

   "..."

   The call gradually stopped.

   "It will take that long to kill a few third-rank and fourth-rank, and the strength should not be too strong." Samuel rested his chin in his hand, thoughtfully.

   Then looked at Zhou Jia, and said slowly:

   "You, go in and have a look."

   "No need." Zhou Jia shook his head:

   "It's too dark inside, and I can't use half of my strength. In my opinion, it's best to invite experts with outstanding ear power above the seventh rank to take action, otherwise it may not be possible to win."

   "What are you talking about!" Samuel looked coldly, staring at Zhou Jia with an impatient look on his face:

   "If you tell me to go, hurry up!"

   "Director." Zhou Jia frowned:

   "You and I are on the same level..."

   "Fuck!" Samuel snorted coldly, with disdain in his eyes:

   "You trash, you deserve to be on the same level as me? You really take yourself seriously, go in and find the way for me!"

   "..." Zhou Jia's body froze, his face turned cold, and he gritted his teeth and said:

   "Where am I going if I don't?"

   "Shua!"

  Samuel drew out the dagger at his waist, pointed it at Zhou Jia, and the soundtrack was chilling:

   "Say it again, if you go today, you will go, and if you don't go, you will go..."

   "Fuck you!"

   What greeted her was an ax full of anger.
