Super Gene Hunting Ground

Chapter 614: The Escaping Miner (4 Updates)

Yang Xiao looked at the words on the Jade Token and was instantly bewildered, hardly believing his own eyes.

"What's going on? How did Gu Bo know that I would be taken away? Oh, right, Gu Bo was originally in cahoots with Long Wei and others. They tricked me into going to Wentian City for training, but actually took us to an alien planet to be slaves. Gu Bo probably knew this all along,

But why did he give me such a Jade Token, telling me to seek help from the Genetic Store when I encounter trouble? How do I explain that?

Could it be that Gu Bo has some other ulterior motive?"

Yang Xiao sat there, lost in thought.

Maid Leia brought a cup of water over to Yang Xiao,

"Young Master, please drink some water."

Yang Xiao took the water, had a sip, and glanced at Leia.

Leia seemed to be well-mannered, standing to the side without prying into Yang Xiao's concerns.

Yang Xiao put the Jade Token into his Space Ring and asked,

"Leia, do you know much about the Genetic Store?"

"Not much. I don't have Genetic Evolution Ability, so there's no need for me to visit the Genetic Store, hence I know very little about it. Young Master, is there something troubling you?"

"Ah, no, um... You seem quite bored, how about I teach you to play chess?"

Leia immediately responded with excitement,

"Sure!"

"I'll start by teaching you a simple game of Go, Gomoku."

"What is Gomoku?"

"It's a game where you try to get five pieces in a straight line. Here, I'll set it up for you to see."

Yang Xiao explained the rules of Gomoku to Leia in a few minutes, and Leia learned them quickly. They then engaged in a game full of Killing Aura.

Of course, Leia was no match for Yang Xiao, but having such a game to interact was much better than just sitting around in the room.

Soon, the room was filled with their joyous laughter.

Yang Xiao quickly adapted to the blissful life with a woman by his side.

During the day he would play chess with David, have tea and chats with Leia to assuage the boredom, play a couple of relaxing rounds of Gomoku, and after Luo Meng finished work in the afternoon, he would even play a game of Go with him.

Life was comfortable and pleasurable.

Occasionally at the base, he saw Zhao Benling and Chi Lin helping out in the kitchen.

Once, Yang Xiao ran into Zhao Benling and asked,

"Brother, getting used to life here?"

Zhao Benling smiled mysteriously and whispered,

"Brother, I think you should also come help out in the kitchen."

"Hm?"

"You know, the kitchen always has a lot of leftover food. Some of it is thrown out directly, but those foods contain powerful Evolution Energy. What a waste."

"So, you and Chi Lin eat those leftovers."

"Brother, you guessed right. I estimate with this method, my attribute value can increase by 1 point in half a month."

Yang Xiao: "..."

Of course, Yang Xiao wasn't going to apply to work in logistics as a cook. What a step down that would be – from being the master of a station to a cook sneaking leftovers, it would be a pitiable sight.

Yang Xiao kept pondering on how to use the Jade Token left by Gu Bo. Without clarification of the situation, he dared not casually reveal it. What if it brought disaster down on him?

Can Gu Bo be trusted?

Hard to say.

Gu Bo was also a profit-oriented businessman, and he knew many secrets about Yang Xiao. If the Genetic Store organization got control of him, he could only wait for death.

Yang Xiao decided not to take out the Jade Token for the time being.

One day, while playing chess with David, suddenly, a man in a black cloak ran in.

"Station Master, it's not good, wild people are attacking one of my mines."

"Which mine?"

"Mine Number 16."

"What's the situation now?"

"People from the mine have come asking for help."

"Alright, assemble the personnel, we'll head there immediately."

David stood up,

"Master Yang, there's been an unexpected incident at the mine, I need to go take care of it, you should go back and rest."

"Can I follow you and have a look? It gets a bit dull staying at the base all day."

David hesitated for a moment and then said,

"Okay, but you can't just run off anywhere, in case you encounter danger. Those wild people are very fierce."

A moment later, two small spaceships carrying dozens of Iron Tower Guards and a dozen black-cloaked men set off.

It took the spaceship about twenty minutes to arrive at the scene of the accident.

However, by the time David and the others arrived, the battle at the mine had already ended, leaving behind more than a dozen bodies, including those of savages, mine workers, and two black-cloaked men.

Additionally, it was the first time Yang Xiao saw Iron Tower Guards that had been destroyed. When he saw the scene, his heart skipped a beat.

After the Iron Tower Guards were shattered, various electronic components were exposed.

"Damn, they really are highly intelligent robots!"

David hurried over, and the person in charge of the mine quickly came to meet him.

"What happened? Where are the wild people?"

"Station Master, the wild people defeated us and killed many of our people and then ran off with the Purple Origin Crystal Stones we mined today."

"What, the wild people took the Purple Origin Crystal Stones? How much did they take?"

"All the Purple Origin Crystal Stones from three mine shafts were stolen, and furthermore,"

"Spit it out, what's the matter?"

David was clearly becoming angry.

"Furthermore, I saw among the group of wild people the miners who had escaped from us last time, about six people."

"Ah?"

David was surprised.

The miners who had escaped from the mine were actually mixing with the wild people in the forest?

This was not good news.

The person in charge of the mine continued:

"The wild people have never before come to rob our mines during the day; they were accustomed to coming at night, controlling the mine workers, and then threatening us to trade for the Purple Origin Crystal Stones.

But this time, the wild people changed their strategy, and I think it's very likely that it was planned by those escaped miners because those miners are familiar with our mining process, knowing that after we mine during the day, there will be a large amount of Purple Origin Crystal Stones in the mine shafts.

We also saw those miners constantly talking with a wild people leader, pointing things out, and then that leader commanded a group of wild people to start the battle, swiftly took the crystal stones from the mine shaft and ran away, not lingering to fight."

David furrowed his brows,

"Damn, if those escaped miners are mixing with the wild people, then we'll hardly have peace in the future. We must find a way to track down the wild people and capture all those escaped miners in one fell swoop."

"But the mountains are so vast, where do we go to find the wild people? Besides, the wild people have those Fierce Beast pets, we are no match for them."

"Are we just going to let the wild people rob us so brazenly? Now the wild people have the help and leadership of the runaway miners, they will become even stronger in the future and may even pose a serious threat to us. We must eliminate them."
