Chapter 28: A Human’s Heart

By wearing the mask, Chen Feng was able to detect what was happening in the mine. Although he could not completely see inside the mine, the key details were displayed thoroughly.

The outline of any living creature could be seen through the wall, and every move that it made could be seen clearly.

Even their basic attributes could be seen at a glance.

About 500 meters deep in the mine, there were about a dozen people scattered around. From their movements, they seemed to be miners.

Two of them were sitting near a table and seemed to be drinking. They were supervisors.

The attributes of those miners were very low, and none of their attributes exceeded 50.

The attributes of the two supervisors were slightly higher.

One of them had a strong physique and strength close to 20.

The shorter one had 22 mana points.

Fortunately, these guys’ spirit attribute was not high, so they could not sense the situation near the cave entrance.

Previously, Chen Feng had already obtained some information from Zhang.

These were members of the Black Dragon Gang and usually got their money through illegal means.

They did not have the right to mine the mystic mine.

Therefore, they were actually here to steal energy ores.

In another three days, they would evacuate from here and sell the ores to make a fortune.

As for those miners, they were basically people who had been forced to sell their lives through predatory lending practices. Hence, they did not have much strength.

In the eyes of these people, those miners were no different from consumables.

Chen Feng had no qualms about killing the members of the Black Dragon Gang.

Killing bad guys could also obtain points as a reward, so why not?

The deaths of the burly man and Zhang alone had given Chen Feng 800 points of reward.

If he killed the two Black Dragon Gang members in the cave, he could replenish the points he had earned from buying the Biological Radar Detection Mask.

It was very profitable!

With that thought in mind, Chen Feng silently walked toward a corner and blended into the darkness.

In the mine.

Many miners in tattered clothes were waving the pickaxes in their hands and digging.

These people had a large age gap.

From children aged 14 to 15 to 60-year-old elderlies, there were people of all ages.

But they had one thing in common.

All of them looked very thin and had listless eyes as if they were already numb to the current situation they were in.

Clearly, they were convinced that they would be oppressed and exploited to death by the Black Dragon Gang for the rest of their lives.

The only difference was whether they died earlier or later.

On the other hand, the two people from the Black Dragon Gang had a table full of good wine and dishes. They ate until their faces were greasy.

There was a vast difference!

Just as the two of them were eating and drinking, a muffled thud came from the corner of the mine.

A miner with gray hair and a beard had dropped to the ground because he had exhausted his stamina.

However, the other miners only took a glance. None of them dared stepped forward to help.

At the same time, some of them had already turned their faces to the side.

This was because they did not dare to watch what would happen next.

Sure enough, a curse was heard.

One of the Black Dragon Gang members walked over and kicked the miner in the stomach.

“Damn it, is he dead?”

The old man on the ground groaned in pain from his hard kick.

He covered his stomach with both hands and curled up into a ball.

When the Black Dragon Gang member saw the old man’s pained expression, not only did he not show any mercy, but he even revealed a sinister smile.

“F*ck, you’re not dead, right?”

“Continue working if you’re not dead!”

“If you dare to play dead again, I’ll bury you alive!” he threatened.

This person was none other than Liu Yong from the Black Dragon Gang!

When the old miner heard Liu Yong’s threat, fear appeared in his eyes.

However, he still begged, “Sir, I really can’t take it anymore.”

“Please let me rest and drink some water…”

But before he could finish his sentence, Liu Yong kicked him again.

“Take a break?”

“If you rest, what will happen to my money?”

“If you finish today’s work, I’ll give you a break.”

“Otherwise, you can die now.”

“You old fart, even if I kill you, I won’t be able to sell your organs for much. You still want to drink water?”

“If you can’t do the work, then die!”

Liu Yong seemed to really think that this elderly male had caused him to lose money. The more he spoke, the angrier he became. Liu Yong kicked the old man again and again.

The old man’s body convulsed from the kick.

He kept retching and his eyes rolled back.

From the look of it, he seemed like he was about to die.

However, none of the surrounding miners stepped forward to stop him.

They were all silently doing their work. They only hoped that they could finish it early, rest early, and eat some dry food.

Just as Liu Yong was about to hit the elderly again, his body suddenly trembled and his expression changed drastically.

Then, he nimbly pounced to the side and rolled on the ground.

When Liu Yong half-squatted on the ground to stabilize himself, his eyes were filled with shock.

A masked man was standing two meters behind the spot that he was standing in earlier.

From the corner of his eye, Liu Yong observed the table not far away.

The lackey who had been eating and drinking just now was already lying on the table. His head had turned 180 degrees, and his face was twisted.

At this point, Liu Yong’s back was already drenched in cold sweat.

This person had actually infiltrated this place without anyone noticing. It was obvious that his other two lackeys had also been killed.

If he had not sensed the killing intent and dodged in time, he would have died like his lackeys.

In just a breath’s time, Liu Yong came to a conclusion.

It would not be easy to deal with this masked man!

At that thought, Liu Yong immediately shouted, “Who dares to mess with us?”

“We’re from the Black Dragon Gang!”

“The few of you, kill him! As long as you do that, I’ll write off the debt you owe me!”

Liu Yong’s thoughts were very simple.

He did not think these miners could really deal with the masked man, but that did not matter to him.

He only needed the miners to stall the masked man and buy him time to escape!

Hearing that, Chen Feng, who was wearing a mask, found it ridiculous.

The Black Dragon Gang had been illegally exploiting these miners for so long. How could they help Liu Yong to deal with him?

Chen Feng did not expect what happened next.

After a moment, the miners snapped back to their senses. They picked up the pickaxes and charged toward Chen Feng.

There was greed in the miners’ eyes.

As long as they killed this masked man, they would be free!

As for who this person was and what he was here for…

That had nothing to do with them!

Chen Feng had a dark expression when those miners started to besiege him.

No wonder there was a saying that there were two things that could not be seen with the naked eye, the sun and a human’s heart1

Once a person chose to become evil, they could completely lose their humanity.

Originally, Chen Feng was worried that if he let these miners go, the mission to clear out the mystic mine would be considered a failure.

However, from the looks of it, he did not have to worry anymore.

Since they wanted to kill him, they were all enemies.

And the only outcome for his enemies was death!

Next, Chen Feng activated Shadow Escape and instantly appeared behind Liu Yong.

Crack.

Liu Yong’s neck was snapped.

Seeing this scene, the miners were slightly stunned.

Then, a middle-aged man knelt on the ground with a thud, his eyes filled with excitement.

“Thank you for saving us! Thank you, thank you!”

However, before he could finish speaking, the middle-aged man’s head was instantly snapped by Chen Feng.

“Thank me? It’s too late for that!”
