Super Gene Hunting Ground-Chapter 729 - 729: Clean Up Your Own Mess

Tens of thousands of demon beasts and monsters, like a torrential flood descending from the sky, swarmed over the mining site.
Every building and person on the surface of the mining site was destroyed in an instant, wiped out as if they were rotten wood being easily pulled up.
If Yang Xiao had seen this scene with his own eyes, he would have lamented that his words about "leaving one or two survivors" were simply superfluous.
Under such a thundering attack, there was no chance of leaving any survivors.
The flood of demon beasts surged past the edge of the Primitive Forest. When there was no mining site ahead, the leading demon beast would fly into mid-air, and when they encountered a mining site ahead, they would swoop down and crush it directly.
Yang Xiao had previously marked all the locations of the mining sites and drawn maps for Black Jinkang and the Golden Lion King. Black Jinkang and the Golden Lion King had also run ahead of time to familiarize themselves with the route.
At this moment, Black Jinkang and the Golden Lion King were leading at the front, carrying the flood of demon beasts forward, onward, onward.
A few lucky miners were working overtime in the mine pit at midnight. Hearing the thunderous rumbling from the ground, they were terrified and could clearly feel the ground above their heads shaking.
Only when the sound disappeared and the shaking stopped did they dare to climb out of the tunnels,
staring at everything that had happened to the mining site base in shock.
"What on earth happened?"
...
Overnight, except for Yang Xiao's mining site base, hundreds of mining site bases were completely destroyed, leaving not a single tile behind. Only about a dozen lucky miners who were working underground at the time escaped the disaster.
After dawn, these shaken miners urgently fled from the edge of the Primitive Forest and flew outward.
They came across a mining site along the way and quickly ran into it, borrowing the spaceship from the mining base to fly to Karachi City.
The people of Karachi City had just woken up from the early morning, most of them enjoying a delicious breakfast.
Recently, many people had invested in mining sites, including private owners and some common people who pooled investments into shares,
In short, at least one-quarter of the people in Karachi City were more or less involved in the exploration activities of Wildman Valley.
Everyone was thinking about the near future when they would obtain a large number of Crystal Coins from the mining sites and realize their dreams of getting rich overnight.
"It's terrible, the mining sites of Wildman Valley have been attacked by demon beasts, all destroyed, only about a dozen miners managed to escape, the rest were all killed, the mining sites destroyed..."
The terrifying news quickly spread throughout Karachi City.
At first, everyone was baffled, thinking it was impossible, a joke.
Many people put down their breakfast cutlery and went out to the streets, inquiring about the news.
Those dozen or so miners who had narrowly escaped with their lives were surrounded by the crowd,
"What exactly happened?"
"Tell us in detail."
"Weren't things going well all the time? How come there are monster attacks all of a sudden?"
...
Various questions mixed with panic were thrown towards the group of survivors.
"Alas, it's like this, we don't know what happened either, at that time we were working overtime in the mine installing elevator equipment when suddenly we heard a deafening noise, the mine shaft was trembling, as if there was an earthquake, it was terrifying,
That sound quickly flew over our heads, and after the noise disappeared, we climbed out of the mining shaft, only to find that the houses of the mining site base had vanished, leaving only some debris on the ground, and the miners who lived in the houses were also gone,
After dawn, we went to check several nearby mining sites, and it was the same situation there."
"Who did this? Who is so bold to destroy more than a hundred mining site bases overnight."
"Are they wildmen?"
...
The miner hesitated for a moment and said:
"It seemed, seemed like demon beasts. We saw huge, various, disorderly footprints on the ground, as well as demon beast feces, and a foul smell in the air."
"We also saw a few monsters straggling behind, their enormous figures flashing by in the distance."
"What? Demon beasts?"
"Yes, and judging from the scene, there must have been thousands of those demon beasts, maybe even tens of thousands. In any case, the situation was extremely terrifying, definitely beyond what you could normally imagine."
...
Soon, cries were heard throughout Karachi City as many people who had lost loved ones began to wail, while also hoping that their relatives or some mining site had narrowly escaped disaster.
The Jino City Lord also received the news immediately.
After a few seconds of stunned shock, the Jino City Lord sighed,
"It seems Gustone had a premonition. Luckily, I didn't get involved in the mining."
An assistant by his side said:
"But, my Lord, over a hundred mining sites, thousands of lives, they're just gone?"
Jino was stunned for a moment, then said indifferently:
"These are all private mining investors. Investing in mining exploration is inherently full of risks. Life and losses are one's own responsibility. What else can be done?"
"Now, there is a call from outside, hoping that the City Lord will lead the legions to conquer Wildman Valley. Firstly, to avenge everyone, and secondly, we could take control of that Primitive Forest and resume mining."
Human greed knows no bounds; even faced with death, it cannot stop the greed in everyone's hearts.
"My Lord, over a hundred mining base sites, just the ore veins that have been explored and the mines that have been built, total up to more than a thousand, costing two hundred billion Crystal Coins!"
The Jino City Lord was silent for a moment, the greed in his heart also surged instantly, but his hand subconsciously touched the half ear that remained on his left side.
Twenty years ago, when he first became City Lord, he had the same idea, leading a legion of several hundred men to the Primitive Forest in Wildman Valley to scout the area, only to be intercepted by the Wildman King.
The two sides clashed without a word, resulting in Jino's defeat. The Wildman King could have killed Jino, but with reservations, he said:
"Jino, we wildmen have already been driven into the deep mountains by your people. If you don't leave us a way out, we might as well die together. This time I'll spare your life, but you need a lesson to ensure you don't forget."
After saying this, the Wildman King sliced off half of Jino's ear with a sword.
Since then, Jino has never set foot in the Primitive Forest of Wildman Valley again and has restrained his subordinates from provoking the Wildman Valley.
When he touched his half ear, the greed welling up in his heart slowly dissipated.
Compared to wealth, life is the top priority.
Furthermore, not long ago, the War God led us in an assault on Pegasus Empire's territories, and we also suffered some losses in our military strength. As City Lord, he now had to allocate military forces to defend a small city snatched from the Pegasus Empire. They were already short on military capabilities, and attacking Wildman Valley now indeed felt beyond their capacity.
Jino said indifferently:
"Go tell those who are expecting my intervention that there have always been regulations not to mine in the Primitive Forest of Wildman Valley, nor to engage in other activities there. Everyone bears the consequences of their actions themselves. Don't expect me to step in, clean up your own mess!"
(I'm finally sick, staying up late and having a fever, last night I was tortured by toothache, haven't slept all night, it got barely better in the afternoon, so today there might be only 2 or 3 updates, sorry!
