Super Gene Hunting Ground

Two days later, Yang Xiao and his companions, all drenched and filthy, appeared in the mining field in a sorry state.

A man in a black cloak dashed into the base’s meeting room.

After Ah Bao received fifty kilograms of Crystal Stone, the situation had again become peaceful, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. David just happened to use the noon hour to arrange the base’s work.

The man in the black cloak burst into the meeting room like a gust of wind, shouting excitedly:

”Station Master, Station Master,”

David glanced up, interrupting him coldly,

”What’s the matter that you are so panicked? Didn’t you see I’m in a meeting? What happened to the discipline? Out! Discipline officer, note this down, deduct 100,000 Crystal Coins from his salary this month, and post it on the base’s bulletin board as a warning to everyone.

Hmph, I think the work style at the base has been too lax lately, there have always been problems, it’s time to seriously rectify the base’s discipline.”

The black-cloaked man who had burst in looked at David, mouth agape, wanting to say something, but finally closed his mouth under David’s angry gaze and turned to walk out of the meeting room.

Luo Meng was sitting nearby David and carefully said:

”Station Master, you’re right, it’s indeed time to enforce the base’s working discipline again. Um, since he rushed over so excitedly, could it be something urgent? Maybe let him speak?”

”Hmph, what matter requires such excitement? Doesn’t he know work discipline? Just barging in, interrupting our meeting.”

”Yes, the Station Master is absolutely right.”

Luo Meng agreed cautiously.

David had been in a bad mood recently. The base has been attacked repeatedly by Ah Bao and others, blowing up two mines and killing dozens of Miners, ultimately being forced to agree to give Ah Bao fifty kilograms of Crystal Stones a month.

These were all bearable, just business, as long as there is more time, it could always be earned back.

The key issue was the sudden misfortune that befell Yang Xiao, a talented individual, buried inside the mine, which depressed him the most.

Ever since David learned to play Go from Yang Xiao, his spiritual power advanced by leaps and bounds, like a sword meeting an excellent whetstone, getting sharper with each grind.

Unfortunately, Yang Xiao was suddenly gone, which truly upset him, not because Yang Xiao was dead, but because he no longer had Yang Xiao’s guidance. The spiritual power cultivation that had started to improve would now stagnate.

Genetic Evolution was the eternal topic on this planet.

David paused for a moment and, seeing the subordinate about to leave the meeting room, said indifferently:

”Halt!”

The black-cloaked man had to stop and turned around, bowing:

”Station Master, may I ask for your instructions?”

The hierarchy at the base was very strict; the entire Witch Star had rigidly enforced levels, and there were inviolable rules between superiors and subordinates.

”You just barged in so hastily, there must be something. Speak up.”

David also realized he had been somewhat impulsive just now, as he was usually quite lenient with his subordinates, only recently was he in a bad mood.

The black-cloaked man hesitated for a moment, bowed, and said:

”Station Master, the base’s surveillance equipment shows that at the mining field where Yang Xiao and the others had an accident,”

”What happened?”

David asked eagerly.

”It seems there’s some new development,”

”What is it, can’t you say it all in one sentence?”

David was getting impatient.

”Well, it seems that someone has entered the mining field.”

”Damn it, are the savages back again? I just gave them fifty kilograms of Purple Origin Crystal Stones, and they turn on us just like that? No, this time I’ll fight to the death regardless,”

David, furious, slapped the table with a bang.

Everyone at the meeting was inwardly shocked,

Goddamn, those savages Ah Bao and his group are too greedy, aren’t they?

The black-cloaked man was startled and immediately said:

”Ah, it’s not the savages,”

”Not the savages? Then who is it? Hurry up and spit it out, are you trying to kill us with suspense?”

Luo Meng also became anxious. In his heart, he always hoped that Yang Xiao and others could miraculously survive.

Of course, reason told him that miracles were impossible.

Luo Meng had just dreamt of playing chess with Yang Xiao last night, and when he woke up in the early morning, he had been puzzled for a while.

”It’s a Miner!”

The black-cloaked man finally blurted out the critical keyword.

”Miner?”

Everyone gasped in shock, staring blankly at the man.

But he still spoke unhurriedly and slowly:

”According to surveillance, those people seem to be workers from that mine, and also,”

”Seem? And also what?”

David’s eyes gleamed with hope; he hoped to hear the information he wanted.

Luo Meng’s eyeballs were practically popping out of his head.

”Seems, seems,”

You’re in a hurry, but he’s not,

He even deliberately makes you anxious!

David opened his mouth wide, fearing that if he berated the subordinate again, this man would die and take the secret with him forever. So now, David carefully watched him, as though afraid he might suddenly drop dead.

The entire conference room fell silent, and everyone’s heart suddenly stirred with excitement, sensing that something big was about to happen.

”Cough,”

The black-cloaked man coughed lightly and swallowed dryly.

David really wanted to rush over and strangle him, then extract the information he wanted directly from his brain if that were possible.

David held back, waving his hand,

”Get him a glass of water!”

Instantly, one of the service girls in the conference room brought him a glass of water.

The black-cloaked man took the cup and found it was boiling hot water, he gently blew on it, still too hot, and blew again.

David’s heart was about to leap out of his chest.

David angrily glanced at the server who poured the water, scaring her into quickly lowering her head. But it wasn’t her fault—the conference room only had hot water, no cold water.

The eyeballs of Luo Meng and the others were about to burst too, each clenching their teeth and enduring their impatience, not daring to disturb him drinking his water.

Finally, after the black-cloaked man blew on it dozens of times, he finally took a sip.

When he opened his mouth, everyone thought he was going to speak, but instead, he started blowing again.

The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly turned eerie.

Everyone’s look shifted from anticipation to anger, but they dared not be too angry, afraid that their anger might scare the black-cloaked man to death, taking the secret away with him forever.

After taking three sips of water, the man finally began to speak,

”And also, it seems they saw Master Yang’s shadow.”

”Smack!”

David slammed the table, and with a ”crash” sound, the solid wood conference table was smashed to pieces by his palm.

David rose to his feet, speaking urgently:

”Everyone, follow me to the mine immediately.”

The crowd was stirred into excitement.

David quickly walked past the black-cloaked man without casting a glance at him and headed towards the door. Just as he reached the door, David suddenly stopped in his tracks, turned around, pointed at the black-cloaked man, and bellowed:

”That one, get him out of the surveillance department immediately, and never let him report any work to me again. Find him some job that doesn’t require speaking.

Damn it, he nearly killed me with impatience!”

After saying this, he ran out quickly, shouting as he ran:

”Move it, what’s wrong with you lot? Didn’t you eat or what?”

Thus the black-cloaked man was left there, astonished and dumbfounded, standing still.

As Luo Meng and the others passed by him, each pointed at him, wanting to say something, but they shook their heads in the end and hurried off.

After everyone left the conference room, the man suddenly realized what had happened and muttered to himself:

”What did I do wrong? I stayed up all night for surveillance, reporting such critical news, the station manager should be rewarding me, why did he just leave like that? It’s as if I did something wrong. That’s not fair, right?”

At this moment, David and Luo Meng, along with others, had already departed on the spaceship.

David was seething with rage, he sighed deeply and said:

”Is that idiot tongue-tied or brainless? Such important news and he had to squeeze it out word by word like he was constipated, not even getting to the point. A fine of a hundred thousand is too little; add more, fine him five hundred thousand Crystal Coins!”
