Chapter 33

27. Third day on the job, and he digs up a landmine right away!

Ever since the driver heard the broadcast, he hadn't said a word; his expression was numb, as if his entire being had lost its drive.

Fortunately, the vehicle safely delivered them to their destination.

Fang Yang was truly afraid he would just quit halfway there.

Netizens in the livestream room also called this scene a matter of fate.

——【I seriously suspect the show production team put all the contestants in the same city on purpose. Number 38 is probably questioning his life right now.】

——【The second Number 51; I feel like he's even more miserable than Number 51. At least the other guy didn't suffer, but this guy only sleeps four hours a day. The result of such hard work isn't even a fraction of Number 26's. Just thinking about it makes me laugh.】

——【I just jumped over to Number 38's stream to take a look; he's already stopped on the side of the road to contemplate life. My stomach hurts from laughing.】

——【No way, I have to go see it too. It's too much of a pity to miss such a legendary scene.】

——【At this current stage, anyone who runs into Number 26 is destined to be crushed. The gap is just too massive.】

——【This broadcast came at such a timely moment, was it intentional?】

Fang Yang followed the road at the foot of the mountain, heading up toward the mountainside.

From far away, he could already hear the sound of excavators working.

Once he arrived at the site, he spotted his excavator at a single glance.

There were far fewer people here than at the construction sites of the past two days.

There were only three excavators in total, and the number of workers added up to no more than twenty.

Fang Yang walked toward a man who looked like the foreman.

"Hello, I'm the excavator operator sent by Boss Yang."

The man was tanned as dark as charcoal, and it was impossible to tell his age.

Hearing Fang Yang's introduction, he turned his head, looked at him, and said indifferently: "You finally arrived. If you didn't come, I would have had to replace you. My surname is Li, you can call me Old Li. Hurry up and start working, otherwise, we won't keep up with the schedule and things will get delayed."

Fang Yang nodded quickly: "You got it! May I ask which section I'm responsible for?"

Old Li pointed in a direction: "Over there, it's been kept for you the whole time!"

"Got it!" Fang Yang glanced at the direction, turned, walked toward the excavator, sat in the cab, started it up, disengaged the safety lock, and began to work.

The mountainside was different from the previous construction site.

That place was all soil, making it very easy to dig.

The mountainside was filled with soil mixed with gravel everywhere.

It was much more strenuous to dig.

Moreover, because the trees in the vicinity had all been cleared before work began, the entire mountainside looked bare.

According to the foreman's instructions, Fang Yang didn't just have to level the ground; he also had to dig into the side of the mountain.

Fang Yang operated the left and right levers, digging up the soil and rocks incessantly.

Soon, a large patch of gravel in front of him had been cleared away.

Following that, he had to dig the soil underneath even deeper to make it easier to lay the foundation later.

Just like that, he continued digging for about twenty minutes.

The corners of Fang Yang's mouth lifted slightly.

Today, he could finally work properly.

If every day were that exciting, his heart wouldn't be able to take it.

Netizens in the livestream room were a bit unaccustomed to things being so steady today.

They began to criticize the streamer, demanding he dig up something special.

Perhaps the excavator heard the netizens' calls.

Suddenly!

BOOM!!

A deafening sound erupted without warning!

A series of sounds of debris exploding and falling followed.

A large cloud of thick black smoke mixed with sparks drifted into the sky from the ground in front of him.

The glass of the excavator's cab was also shattered into pieces by the shock.

Everyone working on the site turned their heads to look in this direction.

Fang Yang was stunned.

He stared blankly at the ground in front of him.

There were still wisps of thick smoke rising.

——【Holy crap, did he really dig up a bomb? With that noise just now, something definitely exploded.】

——【It's not a bomb. If it were a bomb, the streamer would already be lying down waiting for the funeral feast. I reckon it's probably a landmine.】

——【This is literally working with his life on the line. This is too terrifying. Yesterday, the corpses were just scary, but this could cost him his life if things go wrong.】

——【I was wearing headphones just now, and it made my ears ache instantly. It's hard to imagine how much pain the people on-site must be enduring.】

——【I knew he couldn't just dig soil peacefully. Well, now he's almost BBQ'd.】

——【Today's digging is truly a bit too exciting. If he really accidentally set off a bomb, he'd die way too unjustly.】

Just a moment ago, he felt like he had dug into something hard.

He thought it was a rock, but as soon as he took a scoop, it exploded!

Fortunately, the cameraman was far away and wasn't injured.

And he himself was fine; all the damage had been blocked by the bucket.

He only felt a continuous ringing in his ears.

He couldn't even hear the cameraman, who had come over in a panic to check on him.

"Brother, are you okay? What exactly did you dig up? Brother, don't scare me. What's wrong with you? Say something!"

Looking at the cameraman, who was talking incessantly with an anxious expression beside him.

Fang Yang gradually came to his senses, but his ears hadn't recovered yet, and he couldn't hear a word clearly.

"I'm fine, my ears are just a bit deafened, it'll be better in a while!"

Hearing this, the cameraman finally felt relieved.

Old Li brought other workers over to check on the situation.

"Young man, are you okay? What happened just now?"

Fang Yang smiled and shook his head: "I'm fine, don't worry!"

At this moment, a worker nearby suddenly said: "I suspect you dug up a landmine. According to the elders, this mountain was a stronghold during the War of Resistance. Many people died defending this stronghold back then. I reckon the landmine was buried during that time."

As soon as these words were spoken, the other two excavator operators' faces changed drastically, and they retreated a few steps in fear.

You have to know they had been digging all morning; it was only thanks to good luck that they hadn't dug up a landmine themselves.

Fang Yang had recovered by now and could hear clearly, but his ears were still ringing incessantly.

He jumped off the excavator and walked toward the explosion site.

He also wanted to see what exactly he had dug up.

Black smoke was still rising from the black crater in front of him.

But one could clearly see that the excavator's bucket had been blown to pieces.

Looking closely, there was still an iron box remaining on the ground.

It was very clear that there was a high probability he had truly dug up a landmine.
