Chapter 623: Sleepless Dream (3)

Mira knows very well that small soldiers and recruits like him, even if they are in the upper position, can only be accommodated by small strongholds, and large strongholds are not considered.

Because the break was not over yet, Mira was not in a hurry to leave the stronghold.

His current location is already below 10,000 meters, and there are no large strongholds below, and even the number of small strongholds is limited, not that he can go whenever he wants, and there are strict rules for work and rest.

I don't know what the reason is, after Mira went deep into the cave, except for feeling cold and changing the air, it didn't have much effect on him.

This is also the biggest reason why he has been going deeper and deeper in two days, and now he is almost sent to the first echelon.

Mira doesn't really want to be "reused" in this way, so she hasn't been very positive lately. It's just that he showed too much before, and when he reacted and wanted to hide it, his own special had already been discovered, and he couldn't hide it if he wanted to.

Mira is also helpless, for the sake of merit and power, he can only be willing to be a pioneer.

Fortunately, he is still a newcomer, so he didn't really send him to the bottom, and now the first troops, those people have explored below 12,000 meters underground, and there are already three small strongholds about 12,000 meters underground, and it is said that the people above are preparing to dig out a large stronghold based on this, and it seems that construction has already started.

However, even Mira knows the difficulty. He had tried to dig into the wall with a magic dagger, and it would have taken a lot of effort to dig a small hole in his current position. The sharpness of magic weapons is obvious to all, even if you don't take into account the freezing effect.

Although there is nothing that cannot be done in the case of spending a lot of manpower and material resources, in Mira's case, this is a bit of a half-effort, and more importantly, he heard that he is also in the new phase of the project, but this matter has not been decided for the time being, and he only heard the person above accidentally mention it.

A few days later, when she first came to the position of 12,000 kilometers underground, Mira had just stood firmly on a sunken platform, and looked at the pitted rock wall in front of her and a pile of discarded tools and bared teeth.

These discarded tools will be transported and cleaned up every day, and that small pile is obviously scrapped today.

In addition to Mira, there were two sturdy "sappers" at the scene, wearing leather vests and holding heavy iron pickaxes, digging into the inner rock wall.

Iron pickaxes made of stainless steel, even if they are far less sharp than magic weapons, but engaged in excavation work, in fact, it is much more labor-saving, but under normal circumstances, no one would be so luxurious to use high-quality steel to forge digging tools.

Looking at the sparks that splashed after the collision of the pickaxe wall, Mira even suspected that the piles of stones that had been pushed off the cliff were simply pieces of iron!

"Hey, new, what are you looking at! Come and help!"

The dark-skinned warrior looked back at Mira, who was a little stunned, and couldn't help but wipe his sweat and scold.

Mira had no choice but to unbuckle her body, walk to the side, pick up the perfect tools, and learn to chisel the two of them against the inner wall.

The power of the shock in her hand hurts, and Mira somewhat understands why, with the kingdom's manpower and material resources, the progress of the excavation below is still so slow.

In the past few days, the depth from the outside to the inside, I am afraid that the excavation is less than three meters, and the width is only four or five meters, and if the statement he heard is not nonsense, these mountain walls will only be harder and harder to dig.

Half an hour later, Mira had to stop again, because he felt like his jaw was about to crack.

In the past half hour, he didn't keep digging, about every five minutes, he would take a break, but even so, his hands were a little overwhelmed.

The two people around him have long been replaced by newcomers, and because it is the first time for him to do his homework, as long as he completes an hour's workload, he can return to the rest point above, and he has a full eight hours of rest. And after three jobs, you can go back outside and rest for three days.

He originally thought that it was good luck that he had done this, but now it seems that he is afraid that in a day, his hands will be wasted.

Mira was helpless, because these "sappers" who kept replacing each other were supervising each other, and they didn't know anyone, and they still came and went, so he didn't dare to encourage the other two to be lazy together, and after the normal rest time was over, he could only grit his teeth and continue to work.

Half a month later, Overseer Lake stood in the newly built large stronghold, looked at Tatar, the front-line commander who reported to him, and said coldly:

"I've been crawling all day from the ground to this damn place, and you're just trying to tell me that you still don't have any clues about the recent disappearance of a large number of people, don't you?"

Listening to Lake's cold words, Tatar was speechless for a while.

This kind of, and in this ghost place, of course he has no clue. Not to mention that the overseer chased him from the ground to the ground, even if he jumped off the edge of the cliff, he would be able to find out why?

"Our soldiers who went deepest underground had gone deeper underground, and we really couldn't figure out what was going on with them in that location. ”

"So far, we can only be sure that, at least where our stronghold can be built, there is no danger. ”

"As for the recent loss of manpower, almost all of them were in the process of exploring under the deepest stronghold, and suddenly lost contact with the people above. ”

Tatar explained it this way.

He had actually concealed some of the worse situations, such as the only place where they were currently located that could really be sure of safety, and further down, even among some small strongholds, especially the deepest ones, there were actually people who suddenly disappeared while resting.

It was already clear that there was some kind of irresistible danger down there, but even Tatar didn't know how to report it to the people above until the source of the danger was identified.

Tatar knew those guys very well, and knew that they didn't really care about the lives of the soldiers, but just wanted to determine the source of the danger and give an explanation to the higher-ups.

He has been staying below for the past two days, personally commanding the front line, and even taking a certain amount of risk, the reason is the same, not to give an explanation to those soldiers, but to give an explanation to Overseer Lake.

"Hmph, you have lost so many people, and you are perfunctory to me like this? If there is danger, then what is the danger? You still haven't figured it out?!"

"Did the missing soldier go down alone? When he was in danger, he couldn't even make a sound?"

"Since you know that the stronghold is safe, then why don't you keep people in the stronghold, and then let others go down to explore, limit a certain range, I don't believe that when you really encounter an accident, you won't be able to hear or see any movement!"

Lake said coldly, this is completely trying to use the soldier as bait, but Tatar is speechless, because he has already done this, and he stayed above to observe, except for replying that the people below suddenly disappeared, or disappeared with the people below!

The cave is very large, but the scope is limited after all, so shouting loudly has an echo, which allows the sound to travel farther, and the completely lightless environment also means that as long as there is a little light, it can travel farther in the dark!

In this case, soldiers are used to "fish", and as a result, people can be killed repeatedly, which shows how strange things are.

Even Tatar suspected that there might really be some kind of man-eating monster in the depths of the cave, or the kind that came and went like the wind!

This answer may also be suspected and guessed by the people above, but what those people want is not speculation, but real evidence, at least one witness!

"Damn! bastard! I don't care so much, I'll give you five more days! After five days, if you still can't explain it to me, then explain it yourself to the Prime Minister!"

Lake finally let go of the words and turned to leave.

He didn't even tie the rope, he just rolled over and fell outside like an ape, climbed the ladder, pulled a rope and began to climb up, with quick movements.

Tatar's face was gloomy, and he slammed his fist on the table, and the stone table made a loud bang, as if it shook a little.

"Chop!"

I don't know who he was cursing, but under the watchful eye of the two guards, Tatar began to wander around the not spacious cave, the oil lamps hanging on the cave walls flickered, and the shadow of Tatar falling to the ground kept jumping.

In fact, there is an easy solution to this matter, which is to ask those wizards with the ability to fly, even if it is to lend them a few giant eagles, which is enough to ease the problem tenfold. The question is, how can he have the qualifications to speak, and those who are qualified to speak are indifferent, or have already been rejected. If they can go down, if there is no danger at all, why do they need to climb down little by little to explore, those wizards, I'm afraid they will go down long ago!

Fourteen hundred meters underground, this is already a location close to the danger zone.

In this location, in addition to a few small strongholds, there are also some platforms protruding from the outside. Most of them are steel plates nailed to the rock wall, with limited load-bearing, but they are usable, and people can stand and sit on them.

These "platforms" are all "observation points" that were built after an accident underneath.

As for what exactly to observe, even Mira, an "observer", does not know at all. In fact, he was suspicious that he was the one to be observed standing on the platform with torches in front of him!

Looking up, it is not difficult to see that there are some faint fires on the left and right sides, all of which are recently built "observation points", lined up one after another.
