For the miners, this is just a common thing, uncomfortable at best, but he is the deputy director of the mine, such a body search is tantamount to naked humiliation.

"Do you really want to search?" An unknown fire rose from his heart, Zhou Jia couldn't help breathing heavily, and he gritted his teeth and looked directly at the other party.

"Of course." Samuel sneered:

"Why, deputy director Zhou is guilty and unwilling?"

"it is good!"

"it is good!"

Zhou Jia was furious, nodded heavily, and then strode towards Samuel, his muscles tensed, and the violence hidden in his body was ready to move:

"Please, Mr. Supervisor, do a search to see if there is any ore hidden in Zhou's body!"

The clay figurine still has three points of anger!

Sixth grade!

It's not that I haven't killed it!

Facing Zhou Jia who was walking towards him, Samuel frowned. For some reason, there was a warning sign in his heart, and he subconsciously pressed the hilt of his waist.

It is a step backwards.

The next moment, she came back to her senses, with anger in her eyes.

How could I be afraid?

Afraid of this wimp!

Murderous intent emerges.

"Just kidding, just kidding."

Seeing that something was wrong, a guard hurriedly interrupted:

"Deputy Director Zhou, the head doesn't mean that, it's just a formality so that people outside won't say that the rules are broken, I'll do it."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and swept Zhou Jia casually twice:

"Okay, no problem!"

"head."

Turning around, he looked at Samuel and winked secretly:

"We just came here, and we still have to rely on Deputy Director Zhou a lot, don't you think?"

The word "just arrived" was bitten hard by him, implying that if the other party caused trouble when he first arrived, he might cause even more trouble in the future.

"..." Samuel's eyes flickered, and after a pause, he snorted coldly:

"If you haven't found the passage, then continue to look for it. Deputy Director Zhou doesn't have to worry about other things, just go down to find the secret passage every day."

"it is good."

Zhou Jia took a deep look at her, turned and left.

……

In the next few days, Zhou Jia went to work normally, but surprisingly, the supervisor who was dedicated and responsible yesterday was frequently absent.

It is said that it is because there are gatherings of young masters and young ladies in the inner city, and they have to go.

As for the normal things in the mine, I leave them all to my own hands.

This supervisor is really wonderful!

Without Samuel, Zhou Jia was much more at ease, and he didn't ask for trouble. He honestly went into the mine every day, and then found a hidden corner to practice silently.

With the precious medicine taken and refined, the cultivation base increases at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But for martial arts, without the guidance of a famous teacher, the progress is slow.

The days passed by.

Apart from attending the gatherings in the inner city, Samuel just hangs out with the elders and the leader of the church, but rarely goes back to the mine.

And changes also quietly appeared in Huojiabao.

"clatter……"

On the way back, Zhou Jia paused.

Two mutilated corpses fell on the side of the road, their heads were broken, their clothes were disheveled, and some carrion flies buzzed around.

It's getting more and more chaotic!

Recently, many people have entered Huojiabao, most of them escaped from the baronie, and many of them are experts.

The influx of so many people made the already restless outer city even more chaotic.

Although this road is not considered the main road, it is still a common road, and now some people dare to do it, and there are still corpses left, and the patrol team does not deal with it.

It's not that we don't deal with it.

I'm afraid I can't handle it!

Tightening the ax shield in his hand, Zhou Jia quickened his pace and walked towards the tree house.

Neighbor Angie is rare at home today.

He stood in front of the tree house, with a flying eagle on his shoulder, and three foxes with two tails crawling beside him, looking at his surroundings vigilantly.

"Zhou Jia!"

Seeing Zhou Jia, Angie's expression relaxed:

"You're back."

"Yeah." Zhou Jia nodded, his eyes swept over the two-tailed foxes, and he could clearly see that they were eating an unknown corpse.

With hands and feet, it should be human.

"Brother Angji, why are you free to come back today?"

"There is no money." Angie sighed with his head down, his face full of resignation:

"If I knew it earlier, I should have stopped in time. At that time, I won more than 200 origin stones, enough for Xiaohong and the others to eat and drink for several years."

Stop in time?

Zhou Jia shook his head secretly, he had never heard of any gambler who could stop in time.

"By the way, you should have seen the people from the Barony?" Angie said:

"It's getting more and more chaotic recently, and some people even want to rob my tree house. If it weren't for my tricks, I'm afraid I'd be homeless."

"Yes." Zhou Jia nodded and asked curiously:

"Brother Angie, are there many people in the baronie?"

"Many." Angie scratched his messy yellow hair and said:

"It's much bigger than Huojiabao, and there are more people. Unfortunately, the terrain is too flat. It's not as easy to defend and difficult to attack as it is often attacked by monsters."

Zhou Jia's heart sank:

"Brother Angie, how many people will come?"

"It must be a lot." Angie shrugged:

"I found out that the baronship has been completely destroyed by those super-grade monsters, and the baron was also killed on the spot. Everyone is moving. This is just the beginning. There will be more people coming in the future. Brother Zhou will go out later. Better be careful."

"Yes." Zhou Jia nodded silently.

Returning to the tree house, after thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel a little more heavy in his heart.

Fortunately, it's not all bad news.

a few days later.

Situ Lei wrote.

Chapter 024 The Ding Family

Inner city gate.

The guard stretched out his big hand:

"One hundred yuan."

"Isn't it always fifty yuan?" Zhou Jia, who was about to take the money, was taken aback and stopped.

"The money has increased." The guard shook his head:

"There have been a lot of people entering the city recently. In order to avoid chaos in the inner city, the entrance fee has been doubled. Do you still want to go in?"

"Come in!" Zhou Jia sighed softly, endured the pain in his flesh, took out another fifty yuan, and entered the inner city.

Compared with before, the flow of people in the inner city has increased significantly, and the number of patrol personnel has also increased, not to mention the peace of the past.

When he came to the house, Situ Lei had already cleaned up neatly.

The purple robe is meticulous, the python leather boots are not stained with dust, and even the messy hair has been carefully taken care of.

The whole person looks much younger.

Zhou Jia was taken aback, not because he was surprised by his attire, but because he looked at his legs:

"Your leg……"

"It's changed." Situ Lei chuckled when he heard this, rolled up his left leg trousers to reveal the metal machine underneath, and reached out to tap it.

'Dangdang' sound.

"The alloy legs cost me [-] origin stones. They come from a mechanical world. In terms of hardness, they are even better than my original legs."

"Unfortunately, not very flexible."

Mechanical world?

Zhou Jia nodded slowly.

As the end of all worlds, it is normal for the Ruins Realm to appear in a mechanical world. I heard that there is a mechanical cannon inside the Huojiabao, which is amazingly powerful.

"Five hundred source stones." He snorted lightly and said:

"It seems that you have a lot of money on hand."

"This money is not only mine, but also Aaron's and the others'. It's a pity that I got cheaper in the end." Situ Lei shook his head, unwilling to talk further:

"Don't you want to see Dingmen's legacy, let's go."

"En." Zhou Jia should say:

"What's going on over there?"

"After Ding Men's death, everything was left to his two sons. After discussing it, they decided to sell the inheritance in exchange for the origin stone and then divide it equally." Situ Lei explained:

"Over the years, Jujian Dingmen followed the Huo family's hunting team to the Cloud Burial Forest many times and left behind a lot of good things. We will sell them together this time."

"Anyone who knows the news will probably go there. If you want to buy something, you'd better prepare the origin stone. The price... will not be cheap."

"Got it." Zhou Jia's expression froze.

As long as he can get the giant sword, even if he sells it, he is willing.

"That's right." Situ Lei pondered for a moment and asked:

"Did something happen outside recently? Many people have entered the inner city in the past few days, and even caused riots at night."

"Yes." Zhou Jia nodded:

"The barony was captured by monsters, and many people escaped. It's just started now, and there will be more and more people in the future."

"Barony!" Situ Lei's expression turned ugly, obviously he knew this place:

"In that case, after a while, the prices of weapons, precious medicines, and food will increase a lot, and they need to be prepared in advance."

Zhou Jia raised his eyebrows slightly.

He really didn't think about this.

As expected of a person who has lived in this world for more than ten years, he is much more sensitive to danger than him. After all, he has not been here for a long time and has not fully adapted to this world.
