A young man from another world returned to his hometown.

Chapter 92 The Hollowed-Out Mountain and the People in the Cavity

The ripples penetrate the soil and rock layers, revealing the entire internal structure of Baihualing.

Lin Yan felt increasingly irritable.

"It's not an earthquake, it's this kind of nonsense again."

On the other side of Baihualing, deep within the mountain, rock strata are being stripped away.

It was a quarry, much larger than he had imagined.

Looking at these shattered rock strata and hollowed-out caves, it's not normal mining at all; it's practically blasting the mountain.

The center of gravity of the entire mountain has shifted, and numerous cracks have appeared between the rock layers. If another rainstorm were to occur, Lin Yan's gaze would turn to the buildings below the mountain.

"Honey, what's wrong?"

Seeing Lin Yan's solemn expression, Siel noticed that Lin Yan had withdrawn his magic.

"Someone is blasting the mountain to quarry stones on the other side."

To be honest, Lin Yan really hated encountering this kind of thing. He was a human with a long lifespan and personal strength strong enough to destroy the world.

However, his extraordinary abilities are limited to physical strength. He does not possess the super consciousness of a supercomputer, which allows him to manage complex relationships involving hundreds of kilometers of land and tens of thousands of people.

So he really hates trouble.

Syl gritted his teeth. As an elf, he knew better than anyone the fragility of the earth. In this other world, the elven race had extremely strict rules regarding the exploitation of nature.

Here, Sir lowered his head, looking at the food scattered on the grass.

Her carefully prepared mood, her hard-won time with her lover, and then it all vanished.

An extremely terrifying magical power slowly rose from her body.

"Sier?"

"Honey."

Syl's voice was very gentle.

"Our food... has fallen."

Lin Yan felt a chill run down his spine; he was all too familiar with this situation.

Back in the other world, Syl was known for being possessive of her food; the elves had an ingrained reverence for food.

The elves believe that food is a gift from the earth and a continuation of life; wasting food is tantamount to desecrating nature.

Nia's personality is something she learned from Syl.

Syl slowly stood up, brushed the grass clippings off his clothes, and smiled at Lin Yan.

"My dear, where are those people?"

Okay, calming my wife down and eliminating the threat to the village can be done at the same time.

"Pat pat. I'll handle it."

……

The two used invisibility magic to move along the ridge to the other side of Hundred Flowers Ridge.

The moment they crossed the ridgeline, the sight before them made Lin Yan frown even more.

This area is now under the jurisdiction of the county.

A large chunk of the hillside was sheared away, leaving the exposed rock layers resembling a huge scar.

There was no heavy construction machinery, only the roar of homemade explosives and detonators.

Gravel rolled down, and the dark-skinned workers, without even hats, worked in the dusty environment.

Lin Yan's gaze swept over the figures of the workers, all of whom were very young. Xier's voice came from behind him.

"Honey, may I begin?"

"etc."

Lin Yan took her hand.

"Let's go down and check the situation first. We can't take action directly; there are ordinary people here."

Syl pursed his lips, clearly trying his best to restrain himself.

"……All right."

Just then, Lin Yan's gaze was drawn to a bush on the outskirts of the quarry, where several people were squatting.

Outside the quarry, a pickup truck covered in mud was parked in the middle of the mountain road.

Lin Yecheng squatted behind the bushes, a stick between his fingers, his brows furrowed.

He was accompanied by three brothers, all young men from the town. One was taking pictures of the entire quarry with his phone, while another was copying down the license plates of the vehicles coming and going.

"Brother Cheng, we got the shot! That foreman is out again."

Lin Yecheng looked in the direction the finger was pointing.

At the entrance of the quarry, a pot-bellied man was leaning against the iron gate; he looked like a troublemaker.

"What about the boss who drives luxury cars? Any leads?"

The brother next to him shook his head.

"No, I asked several workers who used to work there, and they all said the boss drives a Land Rover, but he always covered the license plate when I saw him before. I've been waiting here for so long now, and I still haven't seen his car."

Lin Yecheng threw what he was holding on the ground and rubbed his face in frustration.

"Damn, these guys are shrewd."

This mountain area has several quarries that quarry soil and sand. Among all these owners, this quarry is the largest. People living at the foot of the mountain say they are often startled by an explosion.

There have been countless safety incidents at this venue, and each time it's just dealt with by radishes and sticks.

The loss of hands and feet by workers is nothing new in this area.

"Brother Cheng, how about we just charge in?"

Lin Yecheng glared at the man.

"What a load of crap! You think you can open that iron gate inside? If you can't get evidence and catch the boss, they'll just turn around and accuse us of causing trouble and bite you back."

Several people fell silent.

Lin Yecheng leaned against the door of the pickup truck, looked up at the sky, and sighed deeply.

Just then, a piercing metallic scraping sound came from inside the quarry.

"Gah!!"

It sounded like something got stuck in the gears of the crusher, and the whole machine made a painful hissing sound before the roaring stopped.

Lin Yecheng was taken aback and peeked out from behind the bushes.

Immediately afterwards, a series of explosions rang out from the hollowed-out cave.

The gravel from the conveyor belt tumbled and rolled all over the ground.

The workers on site panicked.

"What's going on?!"

"The machine is frozen!"

"Stop the power! Cut off the power!"

In the chaos, a worker ran out of the cave, his face ashen.

"No, something's wrong! That sound! Could it be the explosives used to prepare for opening the cave have detonated?"

"How is that possible? This mountain is several hundred meters long, and those explosives were stored separately."

Immediately afterwards, a loud bang came from the office area.

"Bang!!"

The door of the tin shack was forced open from the inside by an invisible force, tables and chairs were overturned, and documents flew everywhere.

The entire quarry was thrown into complete chaos.

The workers didn't care about anything else and dropped their tools to run outside.

"Something's happened! Something's happened!"

"Run! There's a landslide!"

The foreman and his security guard panicked. Although they were brave, who could withstand the power of nature?

They turned and ran, rushing out like headless flies, with the foreman, his belly protruding, leading the way. Not a single person looked back.

"Brother Cheng, what... what happened?"

Lin Yecheng stared at the open door. Opportunity never looks favorably upon anyone, nor does it wait for anyone.

"Listen to me, you guys wait outside while I go in, and as soon as I come out, I'll drive down the mountain."

The men swallowed hard. "Brother Cheng, we don't know what's going on inside. What if there's a landslide?"

Lin Yecheng interrupted him

"So I'll go in alone, and you guys will meet me outside, start the car, and turn it around."

Another brother panicked: "No way! Brother Cheng, you're going to do this alone!"
