In the Extraordinary Era, My Career Can Be Upgraded Infinitely

at home.

Mother Zhang Fen frowned and opened the window for ventilation.

During this period of time, her resting condition had improved, and the blood on her face had become much rosier. It was obvious that the gifts and letters from Qi Sui last time had an effect.

His father, Qi Hewei, was sitting on the sofa, staring at the screen of his mobile phone, with a serious expression, a cigarette in his mouth, and he kept puffing away.

"Stop smoking. This is your fifth one in the morning. Don't you know what's going on with your lungs?" Zhang Fen whispered.

Since Qi Sui went to school out of town, she has turned a blind eye to Qi Hewei's smoking at home. After all, as long as second-hand smoke does not affect the children, it is fine.

Qi Hewei frowned, put out the cigarette butt, and sighed: "Just two days after our break, the mine manager is urging us in the group to go back to work!"

"Are you going back today? Has the rat problem under your mine been resolved?" Zhang Fen felt nervous.

Just a few days ago, a large-scale rat infestation broke out again under the mine where Qi Hewei was located, and someone took pictures with an explosion-proof mobile phone.

Not only were those black-furred mice huge, almost the size of an ordinary house cat, but they were also numerous in number. They poured out like a black wave, leaving no place for people to stay.

Even if someone says that these rats can eat people, they probably won't be suspected.

"The mine manager said that the problem has been solved. He invited a professional rodent control team and sprayed powerful rodenticides to ensure that they were all killed." Qi Hewei sighed softly.

Workers like them who work underground in the dark often have to deal with rats.

In many cases, rats often act as a kind of safety guard and are deeply loved by miners.

But this time the rats were completely different from the past. Not only were they not afraid of humans, they would also take the initiative to bite them. Several of his co-workers were bitten and are still lying unconscious in the hospital.

"How about you and the mine manager ask for a few more days off! I always feel uneasy in my heart!"

Zhang Fen persuaded in a low voice: "Didn't you watch the news on TV a few days ago? Recently, there were three outbreaks of rat infestations in Qinhai City. I heard that they killed and injured many people. There are not enough beds in the hospital."

"Actually, don't worry too much. If the mine manager says it's okay, then it shouldn't be a big problem. After all, if something happens, he needs to take responsibility!" Qi Hewei's brows slowly opened, and he had an idea in his mind.

Zhang Fen said: "Old Qi, why don't we stop doing this job? Anyway, our family is not in need of your salary now. Both children have their potential, so we don't need you to worry about it anymore. Please quit as soon as possible." Can’t you come down and enjoy a few years of happiness?”

The world is getting more and more chaotic. She, a woman, is really afraid that something will happen to the mainstay of the family.

"In two more years, I will reach the stipulated length of service, and I can get an extra 2,000 in pension! How can I just quit?" Qi Hewei stood up and went to the back room to change clothes, preparing to go to the mine to see the situation first.

Zhang Fen sighed and said nothing more.

Qi Sui's temperament is just like his father's, he is a stubborn donkey, and no one can persuade him to change his mind.

Qi Sui's "soul body" was next to his father. He followed him out of the door and drove toward the southwest of Qinhai City.

Half an hour later, the vehicle left the city, and the surrounding scene gradually became desolate.

It was overgrown with weeds, and a few lonely graves could be vaguely seen.

The super-state-owned enterprise "Special Heavy Coal Mine", which was once so glorious that graduates from major prestigious schools struggled to get into it, is located in this area.

A light layer of coal dust floated in the air, and the earth was dyed black.

"Qi Gong, are you here?"

An old man from the coal mine gatekeeper cheerfully stuck his head out to say hello.

"Well, Old Sun, how is the situation at the mine today?" Qi Hewei slowed down and asked.

"It's very good. In the morning, more than a dozen large trucks came and took away all the corpses of the rats in the mine. Just now, a group of workers were sent down to the working surface. The message came back saying that everything is normal and can be restored. Production." Old Man Sun said with a smile.

"When you say that, I feel more relieved!"

Qi Hewei nodded at him and drove the car into the dilapidated parking lot of the mine.

Qi Sui observed his surroundings vigilantly and found nothing unusual.

My father acted quickly, returned to the locker room and changed into work clothes, then put on a first aid kit and a high-light helmet. After saying hello to the staff on duty, he took out the "monkey cart" and slipped deeper into the cave.

Looking at these old facilities, Qi Sui felt a little emotional.

When he was a child, he and his father went to the mine to play several times, but later his nose felt uncomfortable when he went to the mine, and his father never let him come there again.

However, the scene in front of me was the same as what I remembered from my childhood.

After so many years, there has been basically no development.

After all, the discovery of "Hengjing" has revolutionary significance in the world's energy field, and other energy sources are on the verge of being eliminated. Perhaps after these old people are gone, this industry will completely disappear in the long river of history.

"Qi Gong, are you coming down today?"

Several middle-aged men with dark cheeks and wearing dust masks rested next to the support and said hello with a smile.

Qi Hewei has nearly 30 years of working experience and is a generous and righteous man. Many people in the mine admire him.

"The mine director asked me to come down and inspect the equipment. If there are no problems, production will officially resume tomorrow."

Qi Hewei shook his head and said, "Days are passing by, and the targets issued by the higher-ups are still a long way off!"

"Damn it, the higher-ups only know how to issue work targets, and don't know how to send more people over!" A rough man complained with a grin.

"Alas, it's not that we don't want to send people down, but these days, who would be willing to work hard in such a place if they can survive!" Another person sighed.

Someone looked at Qi Hewei with envy in his eyes and said, "Qi Gong, you are different from us. Although everyone is working hard here to make money, you have raised a pair of promising children, and you have hope for life."

"It is a blessing for children to have promising children. We parents have to live our lives as we should!" Qi Hewei smiled and chatted with everyone for a few words, and then continued to walk deeper into the mine.

Along the way, there were piles of various heavy machinery and equipment used for mining.

Qi Hewei turned on the searchlight and carefully checked each machine to ensure that there were no internal components that were damaged by rats.

Beside him, Qi Sui sniffed.

Hundreds of meters underground, the air was extremely turbid and dull, and was filled with the pungent smell of a large number of dead rats and pesticides.

But among these smells, Qi Sui smelled a stench from the soul.

It made every cell in his body feel strongly uncomfortable.

Somewhat similar to the smell of "Old God" and "Secret Alien".

"The source seems to be here?"

Qi Sui looked in the opposite direction of Qi Hewei's progress.

He did not rush to act, but waited patiently until his father inspected all the equipment and returned to the ground, and then drifted towards the dark depths on the other side of the mine.

This seemed to be a waste vein, with many gravel roadblocks piled up along the way.

But as he went deeper, the stench became more and more obvious.

After hundreds of meters, the waste vein came to an end, and a mud wall that had never been mined was in front of it.

Qi Sui half-crouched down, and in the corner below the mud wall, he could see some holes made by rats.

"Perhaps the source of the rat infestation in the mine is here!"

His mind moved, and it turned into a strong spiritual force, and he drilled into the hole.

In this cave, which was about the height of a fist, the air became damp and cold, and the dense green luster like ghost fire kept flickering in the dark environment.

Qi Sui felt a chill in his heart.

These were not ghost fires, but tens of thousands of rat eyes.

Their hair was black without any impurities, and their bodies were as fat as adult domestic cats. They dragged a tail that was several times longer than their bodies, and their exposed teeth were extremely sharp, as if they could chew steel.

But even with such a large group of rats, they did not make any sound, but continued to reproduce and breed, allowing the scale of the rat group to continue to expand at an extremely exaggerated speed.

"There is a force behind the control!"

Qi Sui's eyes were stern.

Rats are not highly intelligent creatures. They cannot show such strict discipline by themselves.

Suddenly, he thought of the "Beast God Cult" missionary he met in the Yushan Secret Realm before.

The other party seemed to have the terrible ability to control animals.

In fact, the "Beast God" is not a very powerful existence among the gods of the old days. It can almost be ranked among the last few. With its strength, it is certainly not qualified to occupy the most fertile land of Canglan Star's faith.

So it has always been shrinking in the distant "Aoyi Country" to develop.

Like this very niche god cult, most people really don't know about it. It was only after Qi Sui had read a lot of books in the libraries of two universities that he learned some of the situation.

"And it's a bit coincidental that the totem of the Beast God Cult... seems to be a rat!"

Qi Sui's soul body quickly passed through this sea of ​​rats.

The further he went, the more frightened he was.

Because this passage seemed to have no end, a rough estimate showed that it had already spanned a distance of tens of kilometers, almost catching up with half the size of Qinhai City.

Moreover, there were countless complex branches inside the passage, and each branch was filled with rats, the number of which reached an extremely shocking level.

In this sea of ​​rats buried thousands of meters below the surface of the city, a tall and burly human figure suddenly appeared in Qi Sui's sight.

He sat cross-legged in the air, his whole body covered with a black robe, and his specific appearance could not be seen clearly. In his hand, he held a black flute with red light, and the strange and extremely penetrating flute sound slowly floated in this underground dark space.

Guided by his flute sound, the reproduction of the rat tide intensified, and even the size of the rats was growing at a speed that ordinary people could not understand.

"People from the Beast God Cult!"

Qi Sui determined the other party's identity at a glance.

That strange flute was almost exactly the same as the flute he had obtained in the Yushan Secret Realm before.

His soul body slowly approached in the void, trying to see if he could find more information.

But just as he stepped into the 100-meter range, the man playing the flute suddenly looked over here. Under the black hood, a pair of cold green eyes lit up, as if he had the ability to see through the void.

"Hmm? Is it an illusion?"

He frowned, and a look of doubt appeared in his eyes.

But immediately, he denied this idea.

With his current mental state, how could an illusion occur? It was more likely that something that he couldn't understand really appeared in the spiritual realm.

Qi Sui was also startled by this man's reaction.

He could feel the terrifying spiritual power erupting from the other party, like a hurricane sweeping through this dark cave.

However, because his soul body has the extraordinary characteristics of "undiscoverable" and "unable to be selected", there is no abnormality.

The man in black robe was extremely vigilant. He put the flute to his mouth. The low and violent flute melody was filled with spiritual power. It was like a heavy rain and strong wind sweeping across the whole place. A large number of rats around him twitched and died. It seemed that they could hear what they heard. The souls of men are torn apart and destroyed.

Seeing this, Qi Sui could only retreat a hundred meters away.

He originally wanted to use his "soul body" to control it, but based on the strength shown by the man in black robe, his mental attributes may be even higher than his own.

"It's common for warriors who are good at physical and agility, but those with this kind of spirituality are really rare!"

Qi Sui's heart was extremely solemn.

Spiritual power belongs to the second dimension. Coupled with its characteristics of being difficult to figure out and using strange methods, spiritual warriors have always been very difficult to deal with.

What's more, the man in black robes in front of him is a martial arts master, the "oracle" of the Beast God Sect, a terrifying existence that can have close contact with gods.

"What is the purpose of such a person burrowing into the dark cave under Qinhai City?"

"And looking at him like this, he has probably been hiding here for more than half a year!"

"The most important thing is that everyone does not seem to understand and pay enough attention to the situation in Qinhai City. The danger level in the school's achievement hall has been set to A. What is the difference between this and letting someone die?"

For just one martial arts master, the danger level has reached the "SSS" level.

What's more, there may be other accomplices lurking in the dark.

“We have to find a way to get the message out!”

Qi Sui immediately had an idea and walked towards the outside of the mine without disturbing the man in black robe.

Unfortunately, there is not much time left for him.

A middle-aged man was randomly selected, and he used his mobile phone to call the National Security Bureau of Qinhai City. Regardless of whether the other party believed it or not, he told him all about the situation deep in the mine.

After receiving a dubious promise from the operator on the phone to "send someone over to check," Qi Sui breathed a sigh of relief.

However, just in case, he still called his mother and asked her in his own name to stop his father from going to the mine at all costs during this time.

After that, he contacted his teacher Qin Long, but the message was that the line was busy.

After thinking for a moment, he recalled that Gu Xiyue's call was dialed, but the other party hung up directly.

Looking at the panel with his mental power constantly draining away, Qi Sui made his last call to the "Official Platform of Qinglong Martial Arts University" and once again described the situation in Qinhai City.

"I have done everything I can do now, and now I can only see... the fate of Qinhai City!"

Qi Sui exhaled a thick breath.

The spiritual power finally could not maintain the "soul body" and collapsed and disappeared in this world.

"Huh? What happened just now? I seemed to be distracted?"

The slightly balding middle-aged man regained consciousness. He glanced at the phone still in his hand, stuffed it into his trouser pocket, and quickened his pace to continue towards the subway station where he was going home.
