Chapter 154: I Like Young People Like You
Everyone got on the troop carrier heading to the Azure Crystal Mine, and a few hours later, they came to the mine area.
Although this is not a large base like the military headquarters, in order to ensure the life of the miners and guards, and to prevent possible sneak attacks from the Blade Demon Clan, there are still many high-strength alloy buildings covering the mine, and a small mine base has been established.
Lu Ze and the others sat on the troop carrier, looking at the shadows faintly emerging through the yellow sand in the distance, and listening to the veteran's explanation.
At the mines, every once in a while, the miners and guards take shifts, and when the time comes, they can go back to the military base to rest.
Originally, there were still a few days before the new shift was due, but the nest of an unknown beast was dug deep in the mine, and even part of the mine collapsed, and they veterans needed to go over in advance to help deal with it.
With the veteran's explanation, the personnel carrier continued to approach the small base on the mine, and the entire small base slowly became clear in the yellow sand.
Everyone could see that the perimeter of the base was surrounded by a ten-meter-high alloy outer wall, with various energy cannons placed at every distance on the outer wall, and several teams of soldiers patrolling back and forth.
Like the large bases of the military headquarters, the small bases also have protective shields, and the light blue protective shields are like eggshells, enveloping the entire mine base.
The personnel carrier came to the entrance of the mine base, and after being checked by the guards, the personnel carrier entered the mine base.
After entering the base, Lu Ze and the others opened their eyes wide and looked at everything outside the car window.
All sorts of tall mining equipment, smelting equipment, energy furnaces that release a blazing breath, mining trucks that transport pale cyan crystal ore back and forth, busy miners, and patrolling soldiers.
The entire mine base exudes a strong sense of life.
Seeing that everyone was looking at the scene on the mine with some surprise, the veteran grinned, and said with some pride: "This Azure Crystal Mine is a large-scale mine ranked in the top ranking in the entire Planet 25, and the Azure Crystal Ore reserves in this area are quite rich, and we spent a lot of money in order to compete with the Blade Demon Clan for this mine." ”
Then, he smiled: "However, in the end, this mine is still ours!"
Lu Ze looked at the somewhat proud veteran with a smile, and said, "Uncle Joseph, you must have fought very badly at that time, right?"
"But there were four captains, and in the end Captain Marin died, and with the addition of junior officers and soldiers like us, the sacrifice was even greater. ”
Speaking of this, Joseph sighed, then touched his cheek with his big rough hand, smiled, and continued to speak: "However, everyone is actually mentally prepared to fight as a soldier and may die on the battlefield at any time. ”
Lu Ze and the others looked at the grinning Joseph, and their hearts were a little complicated.
The families of the eight of them are all within the Federation, and several of them even have good family backgrounds, and there are many strong people in the family.
Although they knew that the war in the border area was fierce, when what they saw and heard showed this kind of tragedy in front of them, they still felt a little emotional.
While they lived in comfort, soldiers died every moment.
Seeing that everyone's faces were a little complicated, Joseph smiled freely: "Second Lieutenant Lu Ze, in fact, you don't have to think too much, we all know in our hearts when we come to join the army, even if we really die in battle, our family can receive a federal pension, and we don't have to worry about food and clothing, which is not unacceptable." ”
Federal conscription, there are hot-blooded young people, and there are also people who are born poor and want to fight on the battlefield, and most recruits are recruited in this way.
After all, the Federation has never treated the relatives of soldiers who died in battle badly.
Joining the army is also a path for many people from humble backgrounds to struggle.
The troop carrier came to the barracks while everyone was chatting, and everyone got out of the car one after another.
Then, a young soldier came over and saluted Lu Ze: "Hello Second Lieutenant Lu Ze! My name is Herman, and I was sent by Captain Mu Han to pick you up and your team!"
Lu Ze nodded at the young soldier: "Hello, Private Herman, lead the way." ”
Lu Ze is a little happy in his heart now.
A few days ago, I was called a private by Second Lieutenant Mickey, but in a blink of an eye, I became a second lieutenant and can call someone else a private.
No, the fork will be waisted, but it will break me!
Subsequently, Lu Ze and others went to an office in the barracks under the leadership of Herman.
Captain Mu Han was a middle-aged man with a square and majestic appearance, and after seeing Lu Ze and the others come in, he raised his head and looked at them seriously.
Herman then walked out of the office and closed the door before Captain Muhan stood up from the chair behind his desk.
He rubbed his forehead a little tiredly, and said, "Second Lieutenant Lu Ze, you are finally here." ”
Because of the emergency situation in the mine, he felt that his body was hollowed out after being busy in the past few days.
After saying hello, he walked to the side of the sofa and sat down, and pointed to the sofa opposite to Lu Ze and the others: "Sit down and talk." ”
Lu Ze and the others sat down as they said, and then, Lu Ze said with some doubts: "Is the current situation very serious?"
When Captain Mu Han heard this, a trace of worry flashed between his eyebrows, and he sighed: "It's serious. ”
He explained: "There are 54 mines in the entire mining area, and the deepest hole 45 is more than 70 kilometers long, and it is this mine that digs a beast's lair, and then the beast riots and destroys the entire Mine 45, and even several nearby mines have collapsed, and it is ......."
Speaking of this, Captain Mu Han rubbed his forehead with some distress: "The fierce beast even rushed out of the mine for a time, and the strongest fierce beast that rushed out had the seventh layer of the Danwu Realm, and I could only drive it back, and there was no way to kill it." ”
"What's even more troublesome is that those beasts are now digging into other mines at any time in the underground mines. ”
Hearing this, Lu Ze frowned slightly.
The beasts that build their nests underground are obviously very good at digging holes, and if they do dig into other mines, it will be miserable.
Thinking of this, Lu Ze said with a smile: "So, I can go into the No. 45 mine and kill all those fierce beasts, right?"
I don't know what type of beast it is, and I don't know if it's delicious or not?
After eating a sand sculpture, Lu Ze was full of expectations for the taste of fierce beasts on this planet.
If he has a chance, he wants to catch another sand tiger to try it.
Seeing Lu Ze say this, Captain Mu Han's originally somewhat cold and serious appearance pulled out a smile: "The news from the military department says that Second Lieutenant Lu Ze is a young genius, and even the genius of the Blade Demon Clan has been captured alive, and he will definitely become a son in the future." If you can go down and clean up the beast, I'll be relieved. ”
Lu Ze was praised by Captain Mu Han's words and scratched his head a little embarrassed: "Ahaha...... Am I so good? Thank you, Captain Muhan, for the compliment. ”
This guy looks old-fashioned and serious, but he didn't expect to praise people in a set way, and they all praised him a little embarrassed.
Lin Ling, who was on the side, saw Lu Ze scratching his head and smirking embarrassedly, he couldn't help but glance at him, and kicked him lightly with his toes.
Anyway, Captain Mu Han is the chief, can't this second goods be a little more mature??Will he die if he is a little modest??
Laugh like a fool!
Ye Mu and the others on the side couldn't help twitching the corners of their mouths, and twisted their faces away, not quite like they knew this person.
However, Captain Mu Han was slightly stunned when he saw Lu Ze admit it so straightforwardly, and then laughed: "Hahaha, Second Lieutenant Lu Ze has a straightforward personality, I like young people like you!"
When Lu Ze heard this, the smile on his face froze, and he showed an embarrassed but polite smile at Captain Mu Han.
He doesn't like middle-aged handsome guys.
Captain Mu Han didn't care about Lu Ze's expression, and said with a smile: "Because the strength of the fierce beasts in the No. 45 mine is not weak, the casualties of the average soldier will be very large, and the number of strong people is insufficient, and they have to lead the soldiers to rescue the miners of the collapsed mine, so the No. 45 mine needs to be cleaned up now, and the strength of Second Lieutenant Lu Ze is extremely strong, and this task is the most suitable for your team." ”
Hearing this, Lu Ze nodded, and said with a smile: "Leave this to us." ”
Speaking of this, Captain Mu Han paused slightly and frowned: "However, the No. 45 mine is well connected in all directions, with many branches, and the entire area covers dozens of kilometers, and some may even have hundreds of kilometers, which may be a little difficult to find." ”
When Lu Ze heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched.
How big is spicy??
How did he find it?
Is this the rhythm of playing a maze game?
At this time, Lin Ling smiled and said, "Leave this to me, I can find it." ”
When everyone heard this, they were slightly stunned, Lu Ze touched his chin and looked at Lin Ling with a somewhat proud look.
This guy's supernatural powers have improved, right?
Captain Mu Han heard Lin Ling's words, and nodded with a smile: "Since you have a way, then, the No. 45 mine cave will be entrusted to you." ”
Lu Ze smiled: "Yes, this is our task." ”
After all, this is the enrollment task of their freshmen, and it is naturally impossible to refuse.
And, it doesn't seem that the task is too difficult?
Captain Muhan then stood up and called Herman, who was waiting outside the door, to let him lead them to Cave 45.
Leaving the office, everyone came out of the barracks, the float car slowly moved slowly on the smooth road of the base, and the energy furnace exuded a blazing breath that made the air in the mine base extremely hot.
After crossing several streets, the group finally came to the location of Cave 45.
The entrance of the mine is surrounded by alloy, and there are various load-bearing pillars to support it to prevent collapse, and the diameter of the passage inside the mine is about four or five meters, which looks quite spacious.
There were several teams of soldiers waiting on the periphery of the mine, guarding the entrance of the cave, and after the floating car stopped, Lu Ze and the others got out of the car.
At this time, a soldier with the rank of lieutenant came over, and after confirming the identities of Lu Ze and the others, and after Herman introduced their mission, he let them enter the mine.
