Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1570: Moduo Mining Area

Alan looked ahead. They were at the end of a remote alley. There were low buildings on both sides of the alley, and a ditch on the left was full of sewage. At the end was a warehouse-like building. In front of it was a land vehicle that had its wheels unloaded. Three or five Lozi people were either squatting or standing, casting unfriendly gazes at them.

Tarot stepped forward and said, "We want to see Kuji. He was introduced by Shayeru."

The two men in front exchanged glances. A Lozi with a beam rifle in his arms stood up and walked into the warehouse. Not long after, he walked out and waved to Allen and the others. As he entered, the Lozi raised his gun and said, "Leave your weapons behind."

After handing over their weapons, they entered the warehouse. The light in the warehouse was dim, and boxes of all sizes were piled up everywhere. Firearms, metal parts and even the engines of airships could be seen in the open boxes. In the depths of the warehouse, there was an empty space. On the empty space, there was a table filled with all sorts of things. A strong Lozi was carefully observing with a metal part in hand. Hearing the sound of footsteps, he raised his head and said, "You were introduced by Shayeru?

"

Tarot took out a key and threw it on the table. There was a poisonous snake wrapped around the key. The man picked up the key and looked at it. He nodded and said, "What kind of deal do you want? Firearms? Airships? Slaves?"

"Neither. We need to inquire about something." Simeel said.

The man laughed, "I'm not a news dealer."

"That's right, but there's one thing that came out of you." Simeel raised his hand and threw something. It landed on the table. Under the light, a broken sword could be seen, and the front half of the sword had been broken. However, this sword was filled with gems. Just taking out these gems and selling them could fetch a lot of money.

The man narrowed his eyes and said, "I have a rule here that I will never reveal any information about my guests."

Simeel winked at Tarot and the old man threw a bag over. The mouth of the bag loosened and a few blue jingshi rolled out of it. Unexpectedly, the man did not look and threw the bag back.

"Too little?" Simeel frowned.

The man shook his head, "Rules are rules. Once the rules are broken, what will my business do in the future?"

Alan took a step forward and said, "I'm in a hurry."

"What?" The man looked at him.

As his gaze fell, Alan's figure gradually became blurry. Then, his left wrist tightened and he lowered his head to look. The man was shocked. It turned out that Alan had already moved to his side and held him with one hand.

Alan looked at him coldly through his goggles and said, "I'm in a hurry, so please answer that young lady's question as soon as possible. As for your so-called rules, I advise you to forget them for the time being. They are important, but if you lose your life because of them, I don't think you'll have to worry about any business in the future."

"How dare you threaten..."

At the end of his sentence, the man was shocked to see his arm suddenly turn into a twist. He cried out in pain. Four or five men ran in from behind the warehouse and aimed their guns at Simeel and Alan.

Alan raised his hand, and the temperature in the warehouse suddenly rose. The originally cold shell of the gun suddenly turned hot. The process from cold to hot was almost completed in an instant, and the men immediately let go of the heat. One of them bent down to pick it up. Alan snorted coldly, and a grey pillar of fire suddenly shot up from the ground. The man didn't even harrumph and turned into a charred corpse in the pillar of fire. Alan looked at the underground merchant named Kuji and said, "This is not a threat, but an order."

The man's vision was already flushed red. All the lights in the warehouse lit up and exploded one by one. In the light and darkness, Allen's figure was like a devil god in the eyes of the man. He immediately said in a trembling voice, "I said, I said..."

Putting away his aura and might, Alan walked back to Simeel's side. Kuji shivered as he looked at the broken sword. "As long as I handle it, everything will be recorded in detail. However, I have too many things here. It will take me at least half an hour to find them."

"You only have five minutes." Alan said.

"Sir..."

"Four minutes."

"Alright, alright, alright. Everyone, please wait a moment." Kuji gave up struggling and called over a few other men to check the records with him. A moment later, he shouted, "I found it. This broken sword came from the Modo mine."

"

After asking for the specific address, Allen left the warehouse, left the town, and drove to the Modo Mining Area. According to Kuji, this broken sword was made by a miner and seemed to have been kept for many years. The Mo Duo mine had been abandoned for many years now, and the mine was located in a vein that was almost completely dug up. Naturally, it had no value in continuing to exist.

The mining area was not far from the small town. This town was originally built because of the existence of the mining area. The town was once bustling, but it gradually declined as the mining area closed.

Lu Cheng drove into the open door of the mine and stopped in an open space. From afar, rows of collapsed buildings could be seen. From these ruins, one could roughly imagine the scene of the mining area back then. Tarot and the others found many mines, but most of them were either closed or collapsed, only two were still accessible. For safety's sake, Tarot and the others split into two groups and scouted. Alan and Simeel stayed in the car and waited for news.

Simeel placed the broken sword on his knee and muttered, "This is His Majesty's sword. Today we will find the Sunseeker. In that case, everyone will be saved."

Alan frowned, but chose to remain silent.

Not long after, Tarot came back and said, "We found that not only can one of the mines go down, but it can also lead to the depths of the mine vein. The air is good, so it should be safe."

"Then let's go down." Simeel stood up with the broken sword in his hand.

Follow Tarot to the side of the mine. The vicinity of the mine has been cleaned up. Originally, there were lifting machines leading to the bottom of the mine, but of course, there are no such conditions now. Tarot's men set up several descent cables around the mine, through which they could quickly reach the depths of the mine. Allen and Simeel each slid down to the bottom of the well. After unbuttoning, Allen turned on the light beside the goggles and threw a beam of light over. One could see that there were several tunnels leading to some unknown direction in front of them. Someone walked out of the tunnels one after another. After communicating with Tarot, Tarot pointed at one of the tunnels and said, "This way."

Kuji mentioned that the old miner had obtained the broken sword in the mine and that he had seen a suspicious person in the depths of the mine. The miners confirmed that the man was not a worker from the mining area. At that time, they saw the man after clearing a rock formation. This broken sword was dropped by the man when he left in a hurry.

Alan was rather skeptical of this statement. A dignified emperor would live in the belly of a mountain?
