Nono from another world

Chapter 155 Unexpected
Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Nuonuo went on to say: "Information says that the first person who discovered her aging body was a woman named Pearl who lived in the east of the mine. Let's go there first, maybe we can find something. clue."

"Understood, let's go there then." Nim said, and then vigorously waved the leather whip in his hand, and the carriage began to move rapidly.

……

In a certain dark cave in the mine, a short figure was standing in front of a forked road, staring at the front motionlessly, exuding a cold aura from his body.

Through the only glimmer of light in the cave, it can be seen that this figure is only about 1.5 meters high. Although there is a lot of dust on the exposed skin on the face, it is very delicate and smooth. I think it is not too old.But because his two arms are extremely huge, like two hammers hanging from them, and there is still a little copper rust hanging on some parts of his body, this person gives people a wonderful feeling that has gone through the years.

The man stood in front of the intersection for a long time, until the last ray of light in the cave had dimmed, he moved slightly, and in a strange tone, as if answering someone, said: "Understood, try to explore, Retreat in three days at the latest."

……

Although it was summer, the three of them felt as if they had entered another world as soon as they entered the mining area.The air here is very cold, and there is even heat coming out when he speaks.The plants on both sides of the road have even begun to wither, and the entire mining area looks lifeless and lifeless.The most unbelievable thing is that as soon as he entered this place, Nuonuo felt that his body was extremely heavy and his head was a little dizzy. …

Under the thick lead cloud, some people are dragging their tired bodies, hurrying up to collect the grass buds that haven't faded.

Grass sprouts are a special kind of food in the west. Although this kind of plant is called "grass", it has nothing to do with grass, but the leaves of the plant are somewhat similar to ordinary grass, and there are edible seeds under the root system. tubers.Grass sprouts are not the main food for people in the west, and the taste is not very good, but because they have more water and certain nutrients, this plant is still planted in some places.

For these people, grass sprouts are just their daily dispensable food, but when the plants are withering and the supplies are dwindling, even if this kind of thing is not delicious, it has become their indispensable food.However, depending on the situation, this kind of food may also be cut off in a few days.

This group of people are all in their 80s and [-]s, with dull eyes and heavy bodies. However, the strange thing is that these people did not rush to eat the grass sprouts, but carefully bumped them into the pockets behind them. Apparently it was kept for other purposes.

Suddenly, everyone stopped, straightened their waists and stared ahead vigilantly, with a hint of expectation and despair in their eyes.

Not far from the fan on the ridge of the field, there was a sound of "tapping" horseshoes.

The bodies of the dozen or so elderly people closest to the field suddenly tensed up, holding the sickle in their hands tightly. It was only because their bodies were too old that these people did not rush out immediately, but carefully listened to the movement ahead.

After feeling that the carriage was getting closer, the nervousness on the faces of these old people became more obvious. The tall and thin old man at the head couldn't help but swallowed, his heart fluttered, and he didn't know what to do. What happens next.

Just then, three young girls appeared in front of everyone.Judging from their attire, these three people were the investigators they had been waiting for for a long time but never came to rescue them.But after seeing the faces of the three people clearly, a look of disbelief first flashed in these people's eyes, and then they showed a deep sense of disappointment.

The people in the mining area are very simple-minded. When they saw three young girls, and then thought of the investigators who came in before, they just hurriedly investigated and then left quickly. These people were immediately filled with anger. filled up.

They didn't think about what the three little girls were doing here at all, they just subconsciously thought that the three of them were just like the people who came to investigate before, and they regarded their place as a place to visit mountains and rivers, but in fact they didn't care at all Their life and death!
A tall and thin old man came out in front of the three of them, and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?"

Although the old man looked about 80 or [-] years old, and his body was old and out of shape, Nuonuo noticed that his back was always straight, and there was a trace of majesty unconsciously on his body. One of the people in charge of the mine.

Nuonuo knew that in order to do well in the mine, the help of this person would be indispensable, and it stands to reason that these people should welcome their arrival very much.But for some reason, Nuonuo clearly felt that this person was not friendly to them, or rather... everyone here was not friendly to them.

Nuonuo frowned slightly, and said: "We are people sent by the investigation bureau, and we are here for the mine. You can call me Nuonuo. This is Liuli and Nim."

"My name is Gondo, and I'm one of the principals of this mine." The tall, thin man with a tough face bowed slightly and said, but there was still no sign of friendliness and welcome on his face. After saying this, he still frowned slightly, and asked in a deep voice: "The investigation bureau sent you three?"

Nuonuo noticed that the unkindness in the other party's tone was more obvious, and there was a hint of annoyance, so he didn't understand for a while, so he nodded subconsciously and said, "Yes, the Bureau of Investigation only sent three of us here .”

"Where are the people from the branch?" Gondo's face became even more ugly, "Could it be that the people from the branch are not coming?"

Nuonuo shook his head and said: "The people in the branch have something to do, so they won't be here for the time being, and we have already agreed to meet in three days."

Hearing this sentence, Gondo's feet were suddenly unsteady, and he involuntarily stepped back a few steps, and the faces of the others also became a little livid.

Seeing this, Nuonuo immediately understood, and quickly said: "But don't worry, the three of us will definitely solve this crisis."

Gondo still didn't speak, the dissatisfaction in the eyes of the others became stronger, and the gazes towards the three of them became even more unfriendly.

"You guys should go back." Suddenly, Gondo said.Compared with just now, his face was extremely pale at this time, and he said weakly: "I don't know why you were sent to this place, anyway, you can't help us, it's better to go back, so as not to lose your life As long as your bodies haven't started to age, there is still time, let's go..."

As soon as this remark came out, the people around who were still silent suddenly became emotional, and they all roared around Nuonuo and the three of them.

"Why, why are you here? What can you do here?! The investigation bureau doesn't want to control us, so why did you send the three of you to join in the fun?!"

"How long will it take for you to investigate before you send someone over to rescue us! My father's body can no longer hold up, and even my youngest son is sick in bed now, and it is difficult for you to even move. What do you need to investigate? what?"

"My wife is only 32 years old this year, but just yesterday, she died of old age! She was only 32 years old, but when she died, she looked like an old woman in her 90s! Why didn't the investigation bureau send someone to rescue us! Why? , Why do you block the mining area, why don't you send us supplies?! Why, the people from the investigation bureau are also afraid that if they stay here for a long time, they will become like us?!"

"We don't need the three of you to rescue us! If you want to send someone, send someone more powerful! What can you three do here?! You are still children, what can you do?"
