Chapter 4 The Coffin

"Twenty-two armed personnel are still in action," Xu Yang has seized control of the cameras and sensors inside the mining site. "There are two more people trying to communicate with the outside world, but the signal has been blocked by me."

Signal shields are commonplace. They were originally used to restrict employees from playing with mobile phones in the company, but are now controlled by Xu Yang to suppress the help signals of security employees.

Deep underground, communication is extremely inconvenient, and a slight interference can play a huge restrictive role.

Matteo stood up from the car, turned around and made two tactical gestures to the mercenaries behind him. They understood it, grabbed their weapons, put on night vision instruments, jumped out of the vehicle, and broke into the mining field.

Each of them seemed to have practiced countless times in advance, just like printing the information of the mining site into their minds. They are already familiar with the structure of the mining site. Even if the lights are completely turned off, they can find the most suitable combat position with ease.

After the mercenaries broke into the mining site, gunfire kept ringing, accompanied by the screams of internal security personnel being killed.

There are 6 mercenaries in total, but they can easily suppress multiple enemies. Obviously, the combat literacy of both sides is not at the same level.

Matteo remained motionless, like a statue of the Lord, still wearing sunglasses, but seemed to be able to see everything around him.

Bucks put on a communicator and kept reporting the coordinates and positions of the surrounding enemies to the mercenaries, so that they could shoot without any effort and complete the cleaning work.

All of this is precise and effective. Before the survivor could report the situation here, they were killed.

"Done." Bucks nodded.

Matteo jumped out of the car and quickly entered the mining field. The mercenaries who were carrying out the mission returned to the team, followed behind him, forming a tactical formation, alerting each other, and flashlights on the muzzle shone around.

"Have you been with them for a long time?" Xu Yang fell behind and asked Bucks.

"Yes," Bucks nodded, "many missions, but Matteo...he came in 'airdrop', and I can't say."

No wonder Matteo is a little alienated from Bucks.

"Hacker Witch...What is your original ability?"

"You're so bored."

"We still have a way to go together."

"Inkjet," Bucks stretched out his right hand and slightly exposed some black marks from his palm. "The most trashy ability, my company drove me away at the age of 7. When I was graffiti on the street, I discovered it and transformed it into what I am now, with high-intensity work."

"The transformation must be unpleasant, and the ability is also suppressed."

"That's better than being hungry and risking being raped. I can't stand people like you, and you have to run out of the company if you have regular jobs."

"How much can you get?"

"Don't ask about dividends, this is the industry rule. Ahh, I'm not jealous of you being able to get tens of millions or hundreds of millions..."

Through the wall, Xu Yang saw a huge industrial mining facility, painted in bright yellow all over, standing like a sleeping monster in the middle of the camp.

The surrounding defense posts are tall and strong, almost integrated with the rock, and are condescending to overlook the entire camp.

The shooting-killed security personnel were corpses on the ground, and the surrounding forts and searchlights were silent. When the mercenaries looked up, they saw the distant tops of the ancient hollow, hundreds of feet apart, making people feel insignificant, as if they were walking into the corpse of a giant.

Can't relax.

Matteo stared at the security personnel, as if he was scanning to check if they were really dead.

"Hurry up, if their supervisor connects remotely and hard restart, we will be done." Bucks is also experienced and knows the risks behind the technology.

"If you say so, you may notice it at any time." Matteo said.

Common sense, Bucks's idea is correct. Xu Yang thought to himself. On the main console, someone would definitely notice the fact that the excavator equipment was offline, and immediately sent a company's quick response force to order them to control the situation.

But now it's different.

Xu Yang flips through program logs and sending and receiving data streams in the digital mind, without communication, and no evidence shows that upper-level permissions are being observed or managed.

In other words, it is very likely that Kyoto Infinity didn't notice what was happening here at all.

"We still have time," said Xu Yang, "they are not vigilant."

"It's our opportunity... to keep up with it," said Matteo.

A mercenary walked behind Xu Yang and followed him, as if he was surveillance.

Xu Yang began to worry that these mercenaries suddenly came to chaos.

He used digital mind to manipulate, restore part of the power supply, activate the surrounding motion sensors, temperature-sensing scans and cameras, set himself as a non-scan object, and then began to monitor the every move of the mercenaries around him, and fed the data back to himself in real time.

If they wanted to take action against themselves suddenly, Xu Yang would react earlier than them.

Be cautious and cautious...

"There seems to be a minefield ahead. This morning, they checked the mine status." Xu Yang looked through the security log and noticed a clue.

Some security devices operate completely independently and cannot be controlled from a common network.

"I'll mark them." Bucks' eye implants began to scan, and a crackling sounded, and 25 red light spots lit up on the ground ahead, indicating the location of the intelligent sensing mine.

"You are very calm," Matteo looked at Xu Yang, "I thought you would be a little busy."

"The money is about to be obtained," said Xu Yang, "why am I accidentally?"

"This is the mentality I want to see... Think about it, Xu, the witch is an endless wealth that will make us all happy." Matteo took them to stop at a downward slope, "...this is where the ancient witch is."

Xu Yang saw a blurry light coming from inside, not generated by artificial technology, and he could not scan any information about the device.

Matteo gave Bucks a wink, and Bucks operated on the small transmitter he carried with him and quickly conveyed a message.

Xu Yang secretly intercepted the information flow, and the content was to summon a large shuttle.

In just 7 minutes, the shuttle will automatically navigate to the scene to assist them in evacuation.

The plan is indeed very sophisticated, and there must be some support outside. They are about to succeed. I am just a temporary component on their plan chain, hoping to take the money alive.

"Let's go." Matteo rushed into the slope, and Xu Yang caught up with him under the urging of the mercenaries.

The group walked down about fifty meters and came to an ancient tomb chamber.

The entrance has been destroyed, and the four walls are tall and thick. There are old murals painted on it. The style is ancient, the colors are gorgeous, the lines are rough and simple, and the content cannot be distinguished.

The tomb chamber is full of eternal candlesticks, with a total of sixteen copper candles, and the flames leaps to illuminate the large ancient coffin in the middle.

On the top, long bronze chains were hung, and an ancient brazier was hung from it, which emitted a dizzying aroma, which seemed to be burning some kind of spice and herb, which had been burned for centuries, and the fuel turned into ashes.

Except for Mateo, all the mercenaries took out an oxygen mask and put it on to filter the psychedelic gas in the air. Xu Yang also covered his mouth and nose, knowing that this gas is harmful or not beneficial.

No matter who was casting this tomb, he hoped that the things in the coffin would always be sealed deep underground and sink into a dream.

After seeing the surroundings, Xu Yang moved his gaze to the coffin.

In an instant, he felt a trembling from the bottom of his heart.

This is human instinct. The defensive consciousness inherited from the genes is like being targeted by a tiger or lion. Adrenaline begins to be secreted, the nerves are highly alert, ready to fight or escape at any time.

The sleeping things in the coffin are much scarier than any beast.

"Gentlemen, this is done." Matteo stepped forward towards the ancient coffin. "A hundreds of millions of actions, hundreds of people cooperated with each other, after a series of sleepless nights, anxiety, panic, repeated assurances and plans... we finally found the key to the paradise."

This moment finally arrived.

Xu Yang held his breath.

Matteo walked to the ancient coffin.

"Do we open it?" asked a mercenary.

"It should be kept intact, but... the container cannot be moved." Matteo tried the weight of the coffin.

Xu Yang noticed that the bottom of the coffin and the ground were melted and could not be separated. Matteo had no choice but to give up the plan to take the coffin away and pushed the lid away with force.

When the coffin lid moved, the flames of the four-corner candlestick flickered, as if they were in fear and as if they were warning.

Now Xu Yang can vaguely see the contents on the murals. Those are natural disasters, sacrifices, people suffer in the sea of ​​fire, and all things perish in the glory.

However, his attention was no longer on the murals.

After Matteo opened the coffin completely, Xu Yang couldn't help but approach the observation. The mercenaries also put down their guns and walked up unconsciously.

A witch was asleep in the coffin.

She has a delicate appearance, long chestnut hair, her hands are placed beside her, and she is wearing a gorgeous dark red dress, her sleeves are golden, embroidered with patterns, and the hem of the skirt is decorated with tassels, jewelry and gold threads. It is gorgeous and complex, dignified and elegant, and has a magnificent temperament that modern technology can never imitate. It is like oil paintings, like a dream that cannot be touched.

The coffin is filled with gold, silver jewelry and jewels, all of which are priceless ancient treasures.

After carefully observing the witch's figure, Xu Yang saw her chest undulating slightly and her nose wings tremble.

The witch's face was fresh and breathing in her sleep, as if she had dreamed for thousands of years.

She is still alive.

"Take away the target." Matteo ordered the four mercenaries to take action together, lifting the witch from the coffin and quickly transferring it out.

In an era when human faces can be changed at will, beautiful appearance is not uncommon. Even so, Xu Yang will never forget the appearance of the witch, which is unique.

He held his breath and stepped back.

The moment the ancient witch was taken out of the tomb, Xu Yang looked back and saw that all sixteen ancient candlesticks were extinguished in an instant. The tomb chamber sank into pure darkness, and the brazier on the top no longer burned, leaving scarlet embers.

They could only pretend that they didn't see this scene.
