  All the way forward, Lin Feng found that the miners in the mining area, including the receptionist Liu Ziming, were all evolved people, which made him feel a little surprised.

  "There's no way around it, there are too many sources of infection in the mining area. Ordinary people coming to work here are very likely to be invaded by sources of infection and become infected."

  Liu Ziming conscientiously dispelled Lin Feng's doubts and led everyone into a mine shaft.

  When a meteorite falls to the ground, its speed generates tremendous impact force, causing huge destruction to the ground and forming a circular crater. Most meteorites burn up in the atmosphere when they encounter the atmospheric layer, leaving only a small piece left when they land, resulting in a relatively small crater. However, meteorites that appear during a "meteor shower" are different because their material is too hard, so they do not shrink much when they fall to the ground, resulting in enormous craters.

  Lin Feng and several others entered a large mine shaft with a diameter of over a kilometer. Inside, two first-level Evolvers were operating mining machinery to excavate ore. In the distance, occasional explosions could be heard, which was the sound of high-explosive explosives blasting the rock formations at the center of the mine shaft to extract meteorite fragments.

  The colors of the various mine pits were not the same. The mine pit where Lin Feng and others were located at this time was dark red, emitting a pungent smell, with a thread of scorching air emanating from around it, making people feel warm and cozy.

  "This is the Blazing Ember Mine, where a kind of scorching hot mineral stone is contained in the fallen rocks, which is relatively rare and precious among all mines."

  Liu Ziming took out a piece of fiery red ore from the mining machine and handed it to everyone for observation.

  "It's indeed scorching hot. The temperature is probably over 80 degrees Celsius." someone in the Loulan team asked in surprise.

  Liu Ziming nodded and replied: "The temperature of ordinary Lava Stone is between sixty to three hundred, the higher the purity, the higher the temperature. As for what happens after refining, I don't know."

  A few people took turns playing with it for a while, then returned the ore and walked towards another mining pit.

  All the way through more than a dozen mines, Lin Feng and others met another team of mine guards, who also got familiar with the mining area under the introduction of the reception staff. The six people were all between level 6 and level 7. After arriving at Loulan, several people took the initiative to greet each other, while casting suspicious glances at Lin Feng.

  There's no way around it; a fifth-level Evolver standing among a group of seventh-level Evolvers is just too conspicuous.

  Suddenly, a shrill cry of despair echoed out, shaking a large area of the mine.

  "What's going on?"

  Lin Feng turned his head towards the area where the miserable cry came from, right in the center of a mine pit he had just passed by.

  "It's nothing, it should be the excavation of the source of infection, this is a very normal thing in the mining area, the physical quality of the Evolvers is enough to withstand the invasion of the source of infection, but after that, a long period of time needs to rest in bed."

  Liu Ziming explained casually that the probability of such a thing happening was very high, and he had been doing tasks here for many years, so he was already used to it.

  Not just him, but also Loulan and several others didn't care much about it, only Lin Feng paid some attention to it.

  "Why don't we go, I haven't seen the source of infection yet, want to experience it." Lin Feng made a request. Being in a team requires restraint, which is also the main reason why Lin Feng does not want to join a big family, unless he can be the captain himself, otherwise Lin Feng would rather not join anyone else's team even if he has to go alone.

  "Go ahead, I have no opinion."

  Loulan nodded in agreement, and naturally no one else would object.

  A group of people arrived at the mine pit, where an ambulance had already been parked. The infected Evolver was being carried into the vehicle by several personnel wearing special protective suits.

  Lin Feng curiously asked: "Since there are protective suits, why aren't they equipped for all mining personnel?"

  Liu Ziming replied beside him, "Because the material of the protective suit is also extracted from meteorites, it is equally rare and cannot be popularized. Only a small number of medical personnel can be equipped with it."

  In the midst of their conversation, the seven people had already entered the center of the mine pit. On a piece of meteorite debris, a cluster of black mist-like substance was slowly swaying, with threads of black mist constantly breaking away from the main body, drifting and dissolving into the air.

  "This is the source of infection, and so far, no research has been conducted on its composition. Some people have inferred from its characteristics that it is a special magnetic field that can contaminate human spiritual power. However, current scientific research on spiritual power and innate abilities is still very limited, and it is impossible to determine whether this inference is correct."

  Loulan explained to Lin Feng that he was a member of a large family and had more knowledge about some things than Liu Ziming, the receptionist.

  The human brain produces fluctuations when thinking about problems, which have an extremely weak effect on the surrounding magnetic field. Therefore, some people also assert that spiritual power is a material form, it's just that with today's technology, humans are unable to capture its shape.

  Lin Feng's mind suddenly flashed with a ray of light, and he caught something sharp. He thought of the electromagnetic grenade, which might not be mainly aimed at technological devices, but rather at some spiritual power-like magnetic fields.

  "This infection source is a great tonic for fierce beasts and infected people, and it's common to have fierce beasts or infected people come to attack the mine area just to get these infection sources."

  As the source of infection gradually dissipated, Lou Lan added another sentence.

  At this moment, a heart-pounding roar came from afar, followed by one after another beastly howls that echoed continuously.

  Several people's expressions tensed up at the same time, looking in the direction of the sound. The enhanced vision of the Evolvers could see extremely far away, all the way to a black line on the distant horizon that was advancing, with rolling dust and smoke, and the earth shaking.

  "Run quickly, run quickly, back to the rest area, the beast tide is coming."

  Someone in the distance shouted loudly, and many quick-reacting evolvers even spread their legs and ran wildly, not daring to look back, fearing that if they delayed for a second, they would be caught up by the beast group and eaten, leaving no residue. After all, the source of infection is limited, and more ferocious beasts can only feed on humans.

  At this time, the alarm in the rest area had also sounded, and a shield similar to the base city's defensive shield lit up, enveloping the entire rest area. A team of people rushed out from within, who were elite Evolvers who had received the mission to guard the mine.

  Among them, a team of about twenty people rushed to the front, led by a burly man with a curly beard, who shouted at the evolutionaries digging in the distance: "Run faster, you bunch of bastards!"

  Then he turned his head and shouted at the people behind him: "Gather together, don't get scattered, defend first, be ready to retreat at any time."

  A group of people were all high-level evolvers, yet no one dared to refute a single sentence. Facing the beast tide, killing was definitely not possible, and escaping was also unrealistic. The only way to survive was to rely on the protective shield and wait for rescue. At this time, every living human being was a force in battle, they had fear, but they had to fight desperately to protect the mining evolvers back into the shield.

  "We'll pass by too, let's meet up with those people first." Loulan put away her smile and turned to several teammates beside her. She also warned Liu Ziming: "Let's run back first, when the battle starts later, we won't be able to take care of you."

  Liu Ziming nodded and didn't force himself, directly running towards the rest area. He was only a second-level evolved one, with limited combat power, without the protection of the shield, he would be torn apart by the beast tide in an instant.
