Chapter 2 Borrowing Some Food
"Jingle Bell……"

Harsh bells rang in the mine.

This ringtone once made Ye Ming feel that he was back in junior high school, but at this time the ringtone represented getting off work.

Ye Ming directly lifted the mine pocket and walked out.

But now his mood has undergone a huge change compared with not long ago.

The progress bar in his vision has changed to 3%.

After absorbing the first ore, he dug out a few more ores by relying on the reminder in front of him. After saving enough for today's task share, he secretly absorbed the other ores.

He also buried the ore after absorbing it in the mine.

It's just that he didn't dare to dig too much, so as not to behave too abnormally.

The mine is underground, and Ye Ming was the first to climb out of the mine, and other mines also poked their heads out one after another.

Everyone's faces were expressionless, their eyes were dull and numb.

This is not surprising.

People who come here understand that the only thing waiting for them is death.

From the moment they were sent here, they knew their fate.

Only individual miners gather in twos and threes and can talk in low voices.

This kind of miner can be seen at a glance as a miner who has just been sent here not long ago.

Ye Ming didn't have any acquaintances either, he just silently followed the others towards the base.

There is no distinction between day and night here, and you can only see the dark and cold starry sky when you look up.

He tried to find something he was familiar with in the starry sky.

But ended up getting nothing.

At the entrance of the base, there is a mechanical door.

The two supervisors stared coldly at the returning miner, their guns ready to be fired at any time.

The miners are used to this, walking through the mechanical door with their mining bags.

The light curtain next to the mechanical door immediately displayed miner information and the amount of ore, and spit out a compressed biscuit from above according to the completion of the target.

After paying the ore, the miner at the front quickly picked up the biscuit from the ground, then tore it open and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation.

In the end, he entered the base dormitory without looking back.

Seeing this scene, Ye Ming seemed to hear some unpleasant voices.

Afterwards, most of the other people were the same as that person, and ate the food directly after getting it.

It's not because they're too hungry.

Just to prevent your own food from being snatched by others.

You must know that the people who appeared here, although they are all miners on the surface, but before they became miners, they were all criminals with bad deeds.

Those who have not dug ore often target these old miners.

As for why Ye Ming knew, it was because the original owner was also a part of the bullying. The original owner stayed here for three years, and he was basically the oldest group of miners. Basically everyone knew that his body was weakening to the limit. .

Such people can only be bullied by newcomers.

The supervisors don't care about this. In their view, a young and strong rookie can eat enough, and the value created must be higher.

After all, people like Ye Ming, although they seem to be only 20 years old, after three years of arcane corruption, their physical fitness is actually similar to that of an old man who is seven or eighty years old.

Soon it was Ye Ming's turn in the team.

Ye Ming paid the mine as usual, and the quantity just reached the target.

The two supervisors were slightly taken aback. This guy is really lucky, and he just got a three-star scale!
Ye Ming ignored the others, picked up his food and went into the dormitory.

He didn't choose to eat it on the spot, because after absorbing a few pieces of arcane ore, his physical fitness basically recovered.

Even stronger than before.

He didn't have the heart to teach those who bullied Ye Ming before, after all, he didn't experience it himself, but if they insist on coming to die this time.

Then you can't blame him for being rude.

Of course, Ye Ming didn't eat biscuits directly, nor did he do it for fishing, he wasn't that boring yet.

It's just that things like compressed biscuits are already unpalatable. If you don't eat them with water, they will be hard to swallow.

Recalling the feeling of eating dry biscuits in the memory of the original owner, he felt sick for a while.

There was no way to do it before, but now, of course, I can't wrong myself like this.

And just after he left, many people with empty pockets stared at his back with greedy eyes.

Ye Ming didn't pay attention to these, and went straight back to the dormitory.

The dormitory rooms in this base are hexagonal, arranged like a honeycomb, with only a narrow corridor in between.

There are six people in each room, and there is a square table in the middle, and each person can only be assigned to a small corner.

There was no one in the room, he was the first one back today.

Walking to his bed, Ye Ming took out the kettle and prepared to eat.

But at this time, a few people broke in from outside the door, not his roommates, they seemed to be chasing him all the way in.

"Brother, lend me something to eat! I'll return it to you tomorrow."

A man spoke directly.

Ye Ming frowned when he heard the words, this person should be called Bog.

It was one of the few people who often bullied Ye Ming before.

It is said that they used to fight underground black fists, and later killed people and were exiled here. They have "borrowed" food from many people after coming here for more than a month.

It's a pity that it has never been paid back, because Borg rarely completes the task indicators.

I heard that he has some friendship with a supervisor, even if he often fails to meet the quota, there is no punishment.

All miners kept him at arm's length.

Being bullied can only suffer silently.

Borg looked at Ye Ming jokingly, waiting for Ye Ming to take out the food.

Ye Ming has always done this in the past.

But today, Ye Ming didn't speak. Just when Bog was about to speak again, a fist the size of a sandbag hit him in the face.

Perhaps it was the original owner's resentment, Ye Ming didn't think at all when he swung this punch.

This scene made everyone outside the door stare wide-eyed.

They never thought that Ye Ming would do it at such a time.

Is this guy out of his mind?
However, they did not dare to act rashly.

Even Borg didn't react for a while, his mind was buzzing, and he could only feel blood filling his nostrils and mouth.

This punch stunned him directly.

At the same time, he was also a little shocked. As a boxing master, he knew what the power of this punch meant.

He is no match for this guy!
This made him bewildered, and he looked at Ye Ming very strangely, why were you so easy to bully before you were so strong?
"You wait for me!"

Borg wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, turned around and left. He knew the supervisor and had a hundred ways to get revenge on Ye Ming, so there was no need to do it directly here.

The others didn't know what happened, but they were still ready to follow Borg and leave.

Without Borg, they didn't have the guts to provoke Ye Ming.

"Wait, you can't go."

Ye Ming didn't know when he stood up and stopped the others.

"You...what do you want to do?"

Someone mustered up the courage to ask.

While talking, he kept looking at Bog, but Bog didn't care about them at all, and left without looking back.

Seeing this, Ye Ming smiled and showed his white teeth:
"Nothing, just very hungry today, lend me all the food you have on your body!"
