After凌天 and his companions made this discovery, they immediately returned to the RV and informed 冯小曦 of their findings.
冯小曦 did not hesitate and promptly contacted people from 烟雨阁 to gather intelligence about the mine. Soon, a reply came.
The abandoned mine was first developed over 20 years ago, and its name was the Golden Spring Mine.
This mine was a copper mine, but it was not an ordinary copper mine. The ore produced here also contained gold and silver. During its peak, it was said that hundreds of miners worked here.
It was even said that the development of the town they were in was due to the existence of this mine.
However, over 100 years ago, due to over-exploitation, the mine was eventually abandoned, and the small town that had prospered because of the mine began to decline.
Furthermore, from that time on, an area of several kilometers around the mine was designated as a restricted zone, prohibiting entry.
It was said that in the early days, mining technology was not advanced, especially for gold extraction, which produced a large amount of wastewater containing cyanide, polluting the environment around the mine.
Therefore, the surrounding area was designated as a restricted zone, and people were forbidden to approach.
Going back forty to fifty years, there were reports from local media about children who went to play near the mine and went missing.
Some people who approached the mine also fell ill with strange diseases and died shortly after returning.
Since then, the mine had become a taboo place within a radius of several hundred kilometers, and no one dared to enter.
Later, the surrounding area was occupied by Cisco Farm, and even fewer people dared to go there to court disaster.
凌天 opened his laptop on the table in the RV. He was now very proficient with his computer. He first opened a satellite map of the area, and then 凌天 opened a star chart.
After a series of operations, 凌天 superimposed this star chart onto the local satellite map.
欧若拉 and 冯小曦, who were watching, were completely bewildered. They couldn't understand what it was.
“凌天, what is this map? Can you explain it to us?” 冯小曦 asked.
“It’s very simple. This is the map of the vicinity, and this one is the star chart above our heads at night!”
There are now many websites on the internet where you can download and check the star chart for your location on any given day.
“So, if we were standing on the ground and looking up at the sky at night, the stars we see would look like this…”
As 凌天 spoke, he took out a capacitive pen and connected the stars on the star chart on the screen, drawing out lines!
“Actually, in ancient China, there was also the concept of celestial phenomena. However, the stars are too far from the Earth, and although there are some influences, they are ultimately limited.
However, in the West, the research into celestial divination is even more profound…
We have been able to feel these past few days that the activities of those faceless ones are very closely related to celestial phenomena!
Therefore, we connected these celestial phenomena with lines, and these lines are the projections of the celestial phenomena onto the ground… and these projections form a mysterious formation!
Through the direction of the formation, we can analyze that a large amount of spiritual energy is converging here!”
At this moment, 凌天’s capacitive pen stopped on a spot on the screen, and everyone’s eyes lit up, because where 凌天’s hand stopped was the Golden Spring Mine!
“The projection of these celestial phenomena forms a natural spirit gathering array. Although the efficiency of this spirit gathering array is very low, and it is only effective during certain periods, after a hundred years of accumulation, the concentration of spiritual energy here far exceeds that outside.
Especially with the changes in spiritual energy in recent years, it is normal for something unusual to happen in this mine.
So tomorrow, I’m going to go there with 阿狸 to try and find the true source of these faceless ones and solve the problem here once and for all.”
“凌天, please take 欧若拉 and me with you,” 冯小曦 pleaded.
“No, 小曦, you shouldn’t get involved in this. It’s too dangerous, and I don’t want you to be in peril!”
凌天 refused 冯小曦 without hesitation. 冯小曦 was somewhat helpless, but there was nothing she could do, as according to the rules of 烟雨阁, 冯小曦 had to obey 凌天 absolutely.
The next morning, 阿狸 and 凌天 got on their motorcycles and sped directly towards the Golden Spring Mine.
Along the way, they made a new discovery. They found that in the area they had cleared the day before, several new faceless ones had appeared.
New pits had appeared on the ground, and these pits contained newly arrived faceless ones.
So, 凌天 and 阿狸 didn’t stand idle. They treated it as a bonus, and with a few Molotov cocktails, they gained several more demon seeds.
Finally, they arrived at an area surrounded by barbed wire. A prominent sign read “DANGEROUS” with a large skull drawn on it.
Next to this, another sign provided detailed information, stating that this was a mine contaminated with highly toxic wastewater and that approaching it would be life-threatening.
The two of them directly climbed over the barbed wire and approached the Golden Spring Mine, whose entrance was almost completely covered by overgrown weeds.
However, at this moment, the entire area around the mine became like an ice cube thrown into a boiling oil pan. A large number of faceless ones were preparing to rush out of the mine!
“阿狸, time to get to work!”
“Meow, I’m very happy!” 阿狸 said, waving her雷鸣顿 m870.
“I have a task for you: throw cocktails at the entrance!”
“I will definitely complete the mission, haha!”
After speaking, 阿狸 immediately disappeared into the spiritual realm. When she reappeared, she was surrounded by dozens of glass bottles. She picked up a bottle and threw it with all her might towards the entrance.
Meanwhile, 凌天 was also busy. In front of him, a tripod appeared, supporting a massive machine gun with several rotating barrels powered by a motor.
A belt of ammunition extended from the machine gun to two side-by-side ammunition boxes.
This was a powerful weapon, a real Gatling Vulcan cannon. Moreover, this Vulcan cannon was not the m130 mini Gatling that 凌天 had used before, which was a lightweight,阉割 version with a smaller caliber.
The powerful weapon in front of 凌天 was loaded with 12.7mm caliber ammunition. This thing would create a bowl-sized hole in a person. Most importantly, 凌天 had also processed the ammunition for these Gatling guns!
