Super Gene Hunting Ground

Long Yue’s face was filled with annoyance as he approached Gong Yu and the others.

The overseer of the mining camp, upon seeing Long Yue approaching, hurried over with a trembling voice,

”Lo-Long Mister, welcome!”

”Heh, had lunch yet?”

Long Yue said with a cold laugh.

”Yes.”

”Captain Zhao, I asked you last time to pass a message to Station Master Niu, did you relay it?”

Captain Zhao’s head buzzed, and he quickly knelt down, saying:

”I-I relayed it.”

Long Yue’s gaze shifted to Niu Gao.

Niu Gao’s legs trembled, and he knelt down with a thud, saying:

”Lord Long, I did as you instructed. Their work hours are now 14 hours, and the ore output has increased by fifty percent these past few months, all recorded at this mining camp.”

”Hmm, what about the meals I arranged? Looking at them now, they seem quite robust and even have wild buffalo meat. The meals aren’t bad, huh!”

Niu Gao didn’t know how to respond, so he turned back and shouted harshly at the overseer:

”Overseer Xu, I told you to cut their food in half, why didn’t you implement it?”

Overseer Xu had already kneeled, thinking that today he was definitely going to be blamed.

Overseer Xu kowtowed and said:

”Lord Long, Station Master Niu did indeed order to reduce the miners’ food, but seeing their hard work for 14 hours daily, if we don’t enhance their nutrition, how could they have the strength to mine? If they collapsed from exhaustion, then they couldn’t serve Lord Long,

So I took the initiative to occasional hunt a couple of wild animals from the nearby forest to boost their energy, so they can work energetically.”

Overseer Xu felt that his words were reasonable, thinking this could possibly round out his lie.

Normally, his actions would indeed be justifiable, but Long Yue was currently fuming.

Having been humiliated in Wildman Valley and then losing a huge number of private miners to the Valley, and now even his subordinates disobeying his orders, how could he not be furious?

Long Yue gritted his teeth, sneering:

”Well, very daring, a mere overseer, actually disobeying higher orders on your own accord, brazen insubordination, what use do I have for someone like you?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Long Yue kicked towards Overseer Xu.

Anger-driven, the kick was immensely powerful.

With a ”bang,” Overseer Xu’s body soared through the air, flying over a hundred meters before crashing to the ground, his chest crushed by Long Yue’s kick, dead without a struggle.

Everyone was shocked!

Captain Zhao and Niu Gao both kowtowed begging for mercy,

”Lord Long, please calm your anger, spare us, Lord, it was our failure to carry out the orders properly, we deserve death, please spare us, Lord Long.”

Apart from Captain Zhao and Niu Gao, people around the mining camp didn’t know what had happened and couldn’t understand why City Lord Long Yue was so angry.

A terrifying aura enveloped the mining site, all the staff trembling, heads down in silence.

However, Gong Yu and about fifty other miners, seeing Long Yue kick and kill Overseer Xu, felt intense anger.

During their time together, Overseer Xu had taken good care of everyone, otherwise strictly following the 14-hour work order would have exhausted them to death.

Gong Yu, the leader, suddenly stood up, and roared at Long Yue:

”You, how can you be so cruel, why did you kill Overseer Xu!”

Captain Zhao and Niu Gao collapsed in despair upon seeing Gong Yu angrily confront Long Yue, desperately signalling Gong Yu with their eyes while loudly rebuking:

”How audacious! Do you think you have the right to speak here? Kneel down and beg for Lord Long’s forgiveness at once.”

Gong Yu, who was inherently proud, although a miner on Purple Origin Star, his untamed spirit wasn’t something that could be changed overnight.

Gong Yu sneered:

”What wrong have we done? We work hard every day, enduring toil without complaints, with no freedom, no wages, and not even a full meal, and yet you expect us to mine more every day. Where in the world does such insane and foolish reasoning exist?”

Long Yue looked at Gong Yu and suddenly burst into laughter,

”What’s wrong with making you work 14 hours a day? That’s an order I gave. Not giving you enough food is also my command. What, can’t accept it?

Hehe, you lowly creatures from Earth, what difference is there between you and the wild beasts in the forest?

I’ll do as I please. You’re nothing but slaves, understand?”

”Slaves, miners? Ha, I quit! It’s just death, what’s there to fear? I was considered a king on Earth, tricked into slavery on this planet, neither human nor ghost, without a shred of dignity. What’s the difference between living like this and being dead?”

Gong Yu roared in anger, his body shook, turning into the Beast Soul of a Lightning Leopard, leaping into the air towards Long Yue.

Xia Luo, Xiao Zhe, and others screamed in shock, shouting loudly:

”Gong Yu, you can’t do this!”

Long Yue snorted coldly,

”Seeking death!”

He raised his right hand, throwing a punch towards the Lightning Leopard.

”Bang!”

A muffled sound, and the massive body of the Lightning Leopard was hurled backward,

crashing heavily onto the ground.

The Lightning Leopard’s Beast Soul disappeared, and Gong Yu reverted to his human form, his chest completely caved in creating a gaping hole, blood staining the ground red.

Xia Luo and Xiao Zhe rushed over, lifting Gong Yu, and offering him a Small Blood Pill.

Gong Yu opened his eyes, his breath weak, and bitterly smiled:

”No need, I’m done for,”

”Gong Yu, you, why are you so foolish, Yang Xiao had instructed us to endure, he would find a way to save us,”

”Cough, I couldn’t bear it anymore, you, you all must survive, tell Yang Xiao, I, I’m going ahead. If someday you can return to Earth, please look after my child and wife. We, in another life... can be brothers again!”

With his last strength, Gong Yu gave Xiao Zhe and the others a final look and slowly closed his eyes.

With endless longing for Earth, yearning for his unseen child and wife, along with deep regrets and hatred, he departed from this world he had once strived and struggled in.

”Gong Yu!”

Long Yongjun shouted,

”Brothers, we fight these bastards to the end, death is better than suffering their tyranny anymore.”

”Exactly, let’s fight, I’ve had enough.”

Zhao Gang, Zhou Qiang, and a few others with fiery tempers also had tears in their eyes, fists clenched.

Xia Luo said sternly:

”Shut up, today nobody should act rashly, have you all forgotten what Yang Xiao said? Yang Xiao had promised he would find a way to help us. If we all die, who will fight alongside Yang Xiao later, who will return to save our Earth, our wives, relatives, and friends?”

”But, I can’t endure it anymore!”

”Even if you can’t endure, you must endure. Gong Yu is already dead, rushing to our deaths now is futile, and wouldn’t avenge Gong Yu.

If our sacrifice could kill them, I would join the fight too, but even if we fight to death, we are no match for them, in their hands, we are just ants.”
