Chapter 23: One Day at Work
Pu Huai opened the door and got out of the car. His face was not looking good. He said to the driver in a deep voice, "You get out too."
The driver was like a child who had done something wrong, with his head half lowered, and slowly got out of the car.
The huge frog-eye glasses on the other person's head made An Jiu feel familiar. After searching his memory, he found that she was Captain Pu's exclusive driver. She was proficient in mechanics and vehicles, but had a careless personality and similar things happened from time to time.
At this time, she followed Pu Huai closely. When she saw Pu Huai picking up the overly soft hand, she scratched her head in embarrassment.
Pu Huai lowered his eyes and glanced at her, with a hint of anger in his voice, "Ji Zhenzhen, all your contribution points from these few days will be compensated to him until he can find a job."
"Okay, I should."
Ji Zhenzhen didn't even dare to wipe the sweat from her forehead. She just did whatever the captain said.
The boy with the broken hand suddenly showed joy on his face, and other people nearby looked at him with envy.
It was obvious that he fell down accidentally, but not only does he not have to go to work while sick, he can also get contribution points every day without doing any work. Who wouldn’t be envious!
This person is so blessed!
Pu Huai carefully felt his bones, suddenly pulled and pushed, and with a click, his wrist was reconnected.
"See if you can move."
The boy didn't show any painful expression yet, he subconsciously clenched his fists, and was surprised to find that he could move!
"Captain Pu is amazing! It's okay——"
The boy's voice suddenly stopped, and his expression became as stiff as ice.
If he gets better, does that mean he won't get any contribution points? !
Pu Huai's pair of black eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, "It's not completely healed, I need to rest for a few days before I can use my strength."
"Yeah, I'll listen to the captain. So now I..." The boy took the opportunity to back off.
"We haven't reached the No. 2 mining area yet, and we can't make a trip alone to take you back. Just stay in the car today."
"All right, I'll follow the captain's instructions!" The boy was so excited that he couldn't help but say to the driver, "Thank you, you are such a good person."
Ji Zhenzhen widened her eyes.
When he got on the bus again, Anjiu was squeezed into the middle seat.
The group of people sitting on the edge of the car put their hands under their buttocks, and their bodies swayed with the swaying of the car, and they could fall out at any time.
Ji Zhenzhen looked through the rearview mirror with horror, and seeing this, she grinned and slowed down the car again and again, looking like she couldn't wait to get out and push the car.
Pu Huai tapped his fingers twice and said calmly, "It's too slow. How long will it take to get there? If you fail to complete the task, it will be deducted from your balance."
Ji Zhenzhen screamed and stepped on the accelerator.
Pu Huai turned his head to look out the window, and suddenly he noticed something. He looked slightly downward and met a pair of clear and bright round eyes. The slightly upturned corners of the eyes reminded him of the cat he had seen in the other world.
I heard that it is a very rare breed, and its voice is very soft when it meows.
The eyes quickly looked away and the hat was put on.
Pu Huai's fingers on the car window moved randomly, and he recalled what happened this morning.
This girl had concealed the fact that she was going to another world from her grandmother, and when he accidentally exposed her, there was actually a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes when she looked at him.
After a trip to another world, I became a lot braver.
Pu Huai raised his wrist, and the virtual screen automatically displayed the current time and date.
It was almost time for him to leave.
……
Only after passing the safety inspection by the mine staff, wearing positioning equipment and being distributed mining lamps, they were allowed to go down the mine.
Taking advantage of the time spent down the well, Pu Huai divided them into four groups, with three people in each group.
Anjiu's other two teammates were both girls. When the three of them stood together, they found that they all relaxed their shoulders.
The lighting can only illuminate a limited range. Whether looking downward or to the left or right, it is all ink-black, with no bottom and no end in sight.
It was like falling into an abyss. The sky above my head was getting smaller and smaller, and farther and farther away from me. The fear was like a solid substance pressing heavily on my heart.
No one spoke at this time, and the only sound in the ears was the mechanical sound of the hinges sliding.
When they finally stood on solid ground, the sky had disappeared without a trace, but fortunately there were lights everywhere at the bottom of the pit.
Through this, Anjiu discovered that the bottom of the pit was as large as two football fields, and there were countless holes lined up at the end with huge numbers written on them.
Each hole has a conveyor belt extending from it, leading directly to the central conveying area, where the resources are carried out by mine cart pushers.
Apart from the busy mine car drivers, there were few workers on the scene, but the conveyor belt was always moving outwards, indicating that everyone was mining underneath.
Pu Huai took the lead and headed straight for Mine No. 2.
As they got closer, An Jiu realized that the entrance to the mine was actually not small and could accommodate five people walking side by side, but Pu Huai still asked everyone to walk along the edge.
“Don’t leave the mine without permission. Mine No. 2 has protective facilities. If anyone breaks the rules, they will bear the consequences.”
Pu Huai's voice was obviously the same as usual, but everyone still felt a chill on their backs and took his words seriously into their minds.
He stopped at the mine entrance but did not go in directly. He operated his fingers on the virtual watch, called up a certain picture, and aimed at a small protruding stone at the mine entrance.
A blue light shot out from it, and after scanning and identification, a slight beeping sound was made.
At the same time, a protective net flashing with electric light appeared in the originally empty cave entrance, crackling and anyone who touched it would be electrocuted into charcoal.
The sounds of gasps came one after another.
Everyone was thankful that they did not act rashly and that it was right to listen to Captain Pu.
After the electric grid disappeared, Pu Huai said, "Stand in a row and enter."
The corridor was dark and deep, and the only light available was overhead. Team One walked in first, and the rest followed.
When passing through the cave, everyone held their breath, fearing that the electric fence would suddenly appear.
Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened.
After the last person came in, the electric fence closed the entrance with a swish, and after two seconds of warning, it could no longer be seen by the naked eye.
Considering what Captain Pu said just now, no one would think that the cave entrance is safe, let alone run out without permission.
The entire passage is slanted downward and spreads out like tree branches at the end.
There were special tools in the toolbox next to them. After queuing up to get them, the four groups went to different forks in the road according to Pu Huai's request.
Anjiu pushed the cart behind her companions and turned into the fork at the end. With the help of the headlamp, she found that the soil here was very hard, and there were faint golden spots when the light shone on it.
This is the mine they are going to mine.
Wearing work gloves and picking up mining tools, the three of them each took a corner and started working.
As his hand rose and fell, his knuckles were shaken and hurt, and only a small white dot was left on the mine wall.
No wonder today's mining task is only ten kilograms.
But considering the situation, that is an astronomical figure.
