"Okay..."
Er Dan sighed with relief and continued, "When I was passing through that village, I t these hidden survivors and naturally brought them back to the train."
"Otherwise, this is a high-level area, and those survivors definitely wouldn’t be able to survive here."
"But—"
"The problem arose here, that guy called ’Zhang Yiren,’ the screenwriter, told that there were tremors almost every night under the village, and the ti was often late at night."
"When I heard this, I knew sothing was definitely up."
"After all, I’ve been to so many Adventure Maps, these unusual events often represent opportunities, so I sent thugs to carefully search the village. Without searching, you don’t know; once you search, you find that there’s actually a level 3 iron mine in the center of the village."
"Although the area of that iron mine is very small, just in the courtyard of a house, it is estimated that extracting it all could yield over seventy thousand units of iron ore, considered a very small level 3 iron mine, even less than many level 2 iron mines."
"But after all, it’s a level 3 iron mine, the mining ti would be much shorter, so I dispatched slaves to start mining, planning to finish this mine and then look for others."
"Found sothing?" Chen Mang frowned slightly, "Your Resource Detection Radar didn’t pick up that iron mine?"
"That’s the problem."
Er Dan said seriously, "The information about this level 3 iron mine didn’t show up at all on my Resource Detection Radar. Those survivors avoided detection from the Target Detection Radar by hiding in capsules, but how did the iron mine avoid detection?"
"I pondered while sending slaves to mine."
"As I pondered, the Adventure Map ’Eternal Prison’ suddenly popped up, and the whole train was forcibly pulled in, completely unable to react, and shortly after entering, we failed and were cursed."
"Explain in detail, how exactly did you get pulled in?"
"Hmm..."
Er Dan pondered seriously for a mont before speaking, "Roughly, it was when the level 3 iron mine was completely mined, and all slaves returned to the train when the ground of the village suddenly revealed a gigantic Teleportation Gate, and the train dropped right in, entering that Adventure Map."
"I suspect that maybe that small level 3 iron mine is the key to this ’Adventure Map’; once you finish mining this level 3 iron mine, you’ll enter this Adventure Map."
"Though the key is sowhat strange, I’ve seen stranger keys."
"Can you still enter that map now?"
"No, but when that level 3 iron mine refreshes again, there might be another chance."
"Send the coordinates."
"Okay."
As the two were about to part ways.
Chen Mang suddenly called Er Dan softly, "Brother, do you rember the na of every slave in your train?"
"No, why, Master Mang."
"Your initial words were, one of the survivors called Zhang Yiren told , normally it should be either survivors or slaves, isn’t it inappropriate to ntion nas?"
"Oh, that."
Er Dan suddenly understood, then sowhat emotionally said, "It’s because I actually have a deeper impression of this guy. Didn’t he first tell he felt the village tremors every night? Then he seed to have a professional illness, telling about a lot of monsters hidden underground, sort of exaggerating, which I found quite interesting, a bit like a film script, so I asked his na."
"Are there really monsters underground?"
"Of course not, my Target Detection Radar scanned, not a single red dot."
...
Zombie Basin, on the wasteland.
Chen Mang stood alone on the flat ground, watching the ’Azure Dragon’ train disappear from his view, then turned to look at Ai: "Did you jot down those coordinates?"
"I did."
He shook his head, not speaking further, just gestured dismissively: "Tell Biaozi to bring the person to my train compartnt."
...
Inside the train compartnt.
"Boss, Boss!"
Zhang Yiren, filled with fear, kneeled on the ground, tearful voice, looking up at Chen Mang: "This script wasn’t entirely written by alone, the director also has a significant responsibility!"
"We’ll discuss that later."
Chen Mang waved his hand, frowning, paused for a mont before speaking, "Your village tremors every night?"
"Uh... Indeed, although estimating the exact ti without a clock is difficult, almost every tremor happens at the sa ti."
"So you think there are monsters underground?"
Seeing Chen Mang not ntioning the film matter again, Zhang Yiren took a breath carefully, "Because if it were an earthquake, it wouldn’t happen every day and at the sa ti,, so I speculate that an extrely terrifying monster is hidden underground, and the tremors are rely caused by its breathing."
"I talked about this when the upper lord saved ."
"Mm."
Chen Mang nodded, saying nothing further, planning to check the situation after the mine here is excavated in the next few days. Er Dan might have been unable to detect due to the lower level of his Target Detection Radar, and if he finds anything, a dormant monster might be a chance to take advantage.
Sounds good.
Then he stopped thinking about it, instead looking at the kneeling Zhang Yiren with a fake smile, "Now let’s discuss your film, I’m really curious why you fild this kind of movie, and... what kind of plot does this romance film generally have."
