Chapter 1413 Golden Purgatory
Chapter 1414 Golden Purgatory

"I see."

Qin Hao seemed to understand something, muttered something, and continued forward.

Should we continue forward?

Seeing Qin Hao's actions, Ailiya couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

Nobody knows what lies ahead; there might be risks if we go any further.

They didn't have many people with them, which is not a good thing.

"Don't worry, I'm sure."

Having come this far, Qin Hao had no intention of giving up.

Upon hearing this, Aria took a deep breath and said, "Then I'll go with you. Wherever you go, I'll go."

Qin Hao smiled indulgently and patted Ailiya's little head.

Don't worry, I won't let you get hurt.

These skeletons do look terrifying, but they also indicate that they are very close to the core.

Perhaps then we can find out why these people vanished overnight, and what exactly happened.

Wang Gongwang watched Qin Hao's retreating figure, gritted his teeth, and followed him.

The scene he just witnessed was so shocking that he couldn't think of anything else.

The passage narrowed as it went further, and a sticky liquid seeped from the rock walls, making a crunching sound when stepped on.

The stench of decay mixed with the smell of rust filled the nostrils, and some people couldn't help but gag.

"It smells awful!"

"This tastes like rotten meat soaked in engine oil."

Engineer Wang covered his mouth and nose; as expected of an experienced person, he immediately recognized what it was.

The miner's lamp swept across the left rock wall and suddenly froze.

Half an arm was embedded there, the flesh already rotten, but the finger bones were dug into the cracks of the rock, and the nail crevices were full of dark red bloodstains.

"Holy crap! What is this thing?"

Arya's miner's lamp shone overhead, and several skeletons hung in eerie positions on the ventilation ducts.

Some kind of unburnt impurity was still stuck between the ribs, and when the wind blew, the ashes fell in a flurry.

"This is too weird..."

One of the team members asked in a trembling voice, "Um, should we go back?"

As soon as these words were spoken, voices of agreement rose and fell, and even Engineer Wang frowned but did not object.

This place is strange in every way; we really shouldn't stay here.

Qin Hao stared ahead, where a faint light flickered in the halo of his miner's lamp.

"Let's go." He said only one word and quickened his pace.

The stench was so strong it was almost unbearable. I started kicking hard objects, and when I looked down, I saw that they were scattered bullet casings, rusted and stuck to the soles of my shoes.

The faint light grew brighter, and the sound of flowing water could be faintly heard.

Qin Hao accelerated suddenly, and when he reached the end of the passage, he abruptly stopped.

Before us was a cave the size of a basketball court, with solidified dark brown liquid hanging from the stalactite peaks.

And the ground...

Gold is everywhere.

Gold bricks were piled up to form small hills, gold sand shimmered in the water, and even the cracks in the rock walls were filled with gold nuggets.

Most horrifyingly, several skeletons were half-buried in the pile of gold, with finger bones deeply embedded in the gold bricks, as if they were still grabbing at them before they died.

The visual impact of this scene is absolutely stunning!

Everyone blinked, wondering if they were seeing things.

However, no matter how many times you rub your eyes, the gold you see is still real.

"Oh my God……"

Arya covered her mouth, her headlamp sweeping across the center of the cave, where a metal plaque stood with a line of blurry words engraved on it.

"Purity 90%, reserves..."

However, the numbers behind were covered in blood and could not be seen clearly.

But that number alone is enough to shock people.

Ninety percent purity!

This is even more impressive than the gold mines discovered in the adjacent veins.

Moreover, this is all ready-made gold, which may not need any refining at all, making it even more valuable than a gold mine.

"This place is simply a gold miner's paradise."

Qin Hao squatted down, picked up a gold brick, and found it to be icy cold to the touch.

The gold nugget had teeth marks on its surface and bits of meat stuck to its edges.

"They were not killed."

Seeing what he was seeing, Qin Hao's voice deepened, as if he had understood something.

"I think it's all about fighting amongst ourselves to seize this gold."

Suddenly, a noise came from the ventilation duct, as if something was crawling.

Suddenly, Engineer Wang pointed to the depths of the cave, squinted his eyes, and asked, "What's that?"

At the dim light source, a dark figure was lying on the pile of gold, his back hunched over, making hoarse noises.

The shadowy figure suddenly turned its head, and the miner's lamp illuminated a festering face with murky, muddy eyes, drool dripping from the corner of its mouth, and a half-eaten, pitted gold brick clutched in its hand.

"Alive...alive?" The team member was so shocked that he stepped back, the bolts of his gun rattling.

The creature let out a beastly growl from its throat and crawled toward the group on all fours, its fingernails scraping the golden ground with a harsh sound.

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, as if they had been swallowed whole.

Qin Hao pulled Ailiya behind a stone pillar, and Engineer Wang hurriedly shouted, "It's someone from the base! He has a work badge on his chest!"

The employee ID number matches the piece of metal that was found earlier.

As soon as the words were spoken, the monster suddenly accelerated and pounced on the nearest team member, opening its mouth to bite.

Qin Hao swung the geological hammer, hitting it squarely on the back of the head.

The monster swayed but didn't fall down. It then smashed the team member's goggles with a backhand.

"Shoot me in the heart!" Qin Hao roared.

All of this happened so fast, but luckily he had expected it, so he wasn't really scared.

A flurry of gunfire erupted, blood splattered from the monster's chest, and it finally collapsed into the pile of gold, twitching a few times before going still.

Aria stared at the monster's hand, noticing the gold dust under his fingernails, and murmured, "He's been gnawing on gold..."

Qin Hao kicked the monster away and found a foreign object protruding from its abdomen.

When you cut it open, you find it's all crumpled gold leaf, with undigested flesh and blood stuck to the edges.

"crazy……"

Wang collapsed to the ground, the shock he felt today far greater than he would ever feel in his entire life.

This is an exaggeration.

"They even ate this in order to take the gold out of the country."

It's like being obsessed with something to the point of madness.

Perhaps no one has ever experienced despair, and doesn't know what that feeling is like.

More sounds came from deep within the cave, and countless green lights lit up in the darkness.

Qin Hao grabbed Ailiya and shouted at the crowd, "Retreat!"

Now that things have come to this, no matter what's inside, the safety of everyone's lives is more important.

Initially, Qin Hao was driven by pure curiosity to investigate. As he retreated to the entrance of the passage, he glanced back at the golden inferno and suddenly understood the unusual vibrations mentioned in the logbook.

It was the sound of hundreds of people tearing at each other in a confined space, fighting over gold.

But it must be said that the scene was extremely spectacular, so spectacular that no one would believe it if you told them.

Now that Qin Hao has given the order, the crowd will no longer wait.

After crawling out of the passage, Engineer Wang immediately called his team to bring over explosives.

"Quickly! Seal the entrance! If these monsters get out, it will be a disaster!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Hao pressed his hand down and shook his head, saying, "No."

Engineer Wang, his face flushed with anxiety, no longer cared about the gold inside, and urged, "President Qin! There's a man-eating monster inside!"

"If they were released, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

His concern was that they might end up losing even the gold mine.

We can't afford to lose the sesame seeds and also the watermelon, can we? That would be too much of a loss.

"And gold."

Qin Hao spoke calmly, uttering a single sentence.

"Hundreds of tons of gold cannot be buried here."

If those hundreds of tons of gold could be taken out, it would surely make a fortune.

Currently, various forces are keeping a close eye on the gold price.

If Qin Hao wants to sanction the price of gold, he must be able to come up with something corresponding.

Otherwise, why would others believe you are capable?
Qin Hao had genuinely experienced all of this before he dared to say it; otherwise, he would have ended up being a clown and a laughingstock.

"You're about to lose your life, why would you care about gold?"

Pointing to the passageway, Engineer Wang said, utterly bewildered, "That thing isn't human at all!"

Aside from discovering a gold mine, it was rare to see Engineer Wang so excited.

However, it's understandable; this scene is like watching a novel or a movie.

However, when it actually happens to you, you realize just how terrified you are.

Qin Hao was, after all, the leader, and if he didn't speak up, no one dared to leave directly.

Aria suddenly spoke up: "I have a way."

She turned to Qin Hao and suggested, "The base warehouse has high-voltage electrical equipment that can instantly stun an elephant."

Engineer Wang shivered, and his speech became somewhat incoherent.

"But...are those people or ghosts? Use electric shocks..."

Qin Hao didn't look at him, staring into the darkness deep inside the passage.

"Actually, we can use an electric shock net to bring out the living for interrogation, and the dead... get rid of them."

Wang Gong's lips trembled as he said, "You really want to bring them out? These... can they even be called human anymore?"

This statement is truly chilling upon closer examination.

No one would imagine that thing could be a person.

Putting aside the fact that it has survived underground for so long without dying, what about its food and water? How will it solve these problems?
If this were to be released as news, it would be enough to draw scientists from all over the world to the scene, eager to investigate the matter.

The roaring sounds from inside the cave grew closer.

Qin Hao took out a lighter, and the flame flickered in the wind.

"Whether he is human or not, we need to find out."

This person is really strange. He doesn't usually smoke, but he always carries a lighter with him.

Aria thought to herself, then picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Charlie, could you do me a favor and get ten sets of high-voltage equipment over here as soon as possible?"

Looking at the two figures' backs, Engineer Wang suddenly felt that the golden light was more eerie than the monsters in the passage.

"Hey……"

He sighed heavily.

Both leaders have already been arrested, so what good would it do if he didn't go?

The hardest thing to change in this world is a leader's mindset.

Soon, the high-voltage power grid was completed, and Qin Hao was the first to step into the cave.

It has to be said, with such high salaries, the speed of their actions is remarkable.

Otherwise, if it were a master craftsman, it would probably take until the morning to finish all of this.

They spent the entire night at the base, yet they felt no sleepiness whatsoever.

I don't know if it was because I was scared by that thing earlier.

It's neither human nor monster.

The miner's lamp swept across the gold bricks scattered on the ground. The monster's corpse from last night was still lying there, but it was stiff and blackened, like a piece of abandoned rotten flesh.

"Something's wrong."

Ailiya grabbed Qin Hao, feeling as if the number of them had decreased.

"what about others?"

The cave was deathly silent, except for the crisp sound of water droplets hitting the gold.

The green lights that shone in the darkness vanished without a trace.

If all of this hadn't just happened, it would seem like a dream.

With a burst of courage, Engineer Wang kicked the pile of gold. The bones tumbled down, revealing nothing underneath.

"They escaped?" A team member asked, his voice trembling as he held his gun.

Qin Hao crouched down and examined the monster's corpse's neck.

There were teeth marks around the wound, as if it had been gnawed by another animal.

Seeing this, everyone was somewhat impressed with Qin Hao.

This order is way too big!
"I didn't run away."

He pointed to the scattered bone fragments and said something even more chilling.

"It was eaten."

"..."

Everyone gasped.

Arya's headlamp shone towards the top of the cave.

At the top, the claw marks abruptly ended, leading to a flat rock wall with no passageway.

"There's no road."

Engineer Wang circled the cave, looking quite puzzled. "Could it have burrowed underground?"

Qin Hao reached out to the rock wall, his fingertips touching a slightly warm crevice. Upon closer inspection, he saw half a bloodstained piece of clothing stuck in the crevice—the work clothes the monster had been wearing.

“They didn’t run away,” Qin Hao said in a deep voice. “They were dragged away by something.”

"What is that?" Engineer Wang asked instinctively.

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?" Qin Hao raised an eyebrow.

He held his headlamp and shone it into the crevice; it was pitch black deep inside.

But if you listen carefully, you can faintly hear the sound of heavy objects rubbing together.
