Chapter 77: Quiet Mining Area
Ask for a recommendation ticket, brother who has a ticket, help push it, thank you! *****
After a long journey of more than ten hours, I don't know how many star gates I crossed on the road, how many trains I changed, and finally came to the family border, which was heavily defended.
The engineering vehicle went on the road alone, and the tail of the car spit out a faint blue firelight, shuttling through the vast sea of stars, and flying towards the area where the star gate is located.
It's not fast, but it's not slow.
On the way, everyone has already installed space rotors for the mech, so that there is more room for maneuver. Xiong Gangqiang, on the other hand, would do his best to collect salt every time he changed trains or rested at the station, put it into canvas pockets, and tied it to the arm or finger of the mecha.
After arriving at the Star Gate, receiving the certification, the old antique engineering truck crossed over and flew towards a small planet not far away.
The three-star gate behind it is getting farther and farther away, and the figure of the small planet is constantly enlarged. Li Yuan began to bind the space fluctuations for the team members, if they fell into danger, whether it was inside the mecha or in the field, as long as they had a thought, they could open the teleportation and return to the engineering vehicle through the portable space door they brought.
"Hey, this big guy, it looks like it's grounded." Xiong Gangqiang patted the rusty door, in his eyes, as long as it was related to machinery, the thicker the body, the better, just like his modified Raider III.
At this time, one armor plate after another was erected in front of the engineering vehicle to cover the windows, and from the outside, it looked like a lump of iron.
After a while, the car jolted violently, as is often the case when entering the atmosphere. When it reached a height of five thousand meters, the car shook violently, and the anti-gravity instrument operated, constantly canceling the influence of gravity, so that the descent speed of the engineering vehicle was greatly slowed down, and when it approached the ground, it was already as light as a swallow.
"Attention, scanning the surrounding area, according to the aerial view, we landed about thirty kilometers north of the mining area." Li Yuan commanded while turning on the light screen in an orderly manner.
"The nearby area has been scanned and no anomalies have been found." Modi responds quickly.
"Okay, wait until we are fifteen kilometers away from the mining area, hide the engineering truck, and we will move forward on foot." Li Yuan nodded, raised his hand to set the road map on the screen, and he did all this very well.
Although the things learned in the junior college are relatively basic, they are enough if they do not involve too advanced theories and insights.
Li Yuan circled a range with a pen and pointed it out to everyone: "This is it, where the camp of the exploration team is located." When you get to the entrance of the mine, the distance is about three kilometers in a straight line. We must be cautious, and if we spot any traces of the enemy faction's mechs, do not fight, and immediately retreat through the space gate, as this is most likely a trap. And from now on, including Uncle Mo and Uncle Leng, they will listen to me. ”
Originally, Leng Bufan and Mo Zang were still a little awkward in their hearts, after all, the other party was too young to even be considered a hairy guy. However, looking at Li Yuan's performance, the two of them were shocked and secretly sighed: "Not bad! Some people seem to be born to lead a team to a challenge! ”
The engineering vehicles rumbled forward, and there were no ready-made roads in the mountains, so they could only cross the border violently.
Fortunately, the planet's gravity standard is low, and normal people can jump out of double the distance as long as they jump, and the traces left behind the car will naturally be handled by professionals.
Xiong Gangqiang is a professional, and he is following the car to erase the traces. If it weren't for the fact that the car was carrying a space door, there would be no need to hide it at all. As long as this space door plays a role at a critical moment and fishes everyone out of danger, it will not be in vain.
The distance in a straight line is fifteen kilometers, and it may take more than 20 kilometers, or even more than 30 kilometers. When it is difficult to find a hidden place and hide the engineering vehicle, then the mission begins.
Li Yuan began to roll call: "Mo Zang." ”
"Here!"
"Modi."
"Here!"
"Cold and extraordinary."
"Here!"
When Zuihou pointed to Wu Dakui with a name, he only heard a loud shout "to", and the figure stood straight. Li Yuan was overjoyed, thinking that Kui Ye had regained his senses, but when he looked closely, he still had those cloudy eyes, but he was just a conditioned reflex, so he responded.
"It seems that going out to perform tasks and routinely roll call has penetrated into Kuiye's consciousness." Li Yuan sighed: "It's okay, even if Ying Longxing falls into a knot in his heart, with his super conditioned reflex, he can break a way." ”
With a little emotion, nine people took action.
Zhou's body was neatly cleaned up and down, and Li Yuan had a space belt there, but he could only carry six cubic items. Fortunately, the Gaia Source Stone sent by Kui Ye's brothers comes with a space belt, which is currently enough for the team.
The area around the mine is desolate, full of rolling mountains, snow-capped peaks, with only a few streams and a hint of greenery.
At this moment, it was early morning in the area, and the red sun had risen. It was a red dwarf, and in the stellar sequence, both brightness and heat came second. On the way here, Li Yuan had already told Yan'er and Ruan Yishan about the principles of marching, concealment, speed, and vigilance.
Yan'er and Ruan Yishan's body shape is already thin and small, but it is not difficult to find cover and conceal. With the physical fitness of nine people, more than ten kilometers away, it will be there in a blink of an eye.
When approaching the location of the exploration team's camp, Li Yuan made a gesture for everyone to lurk, and he waved his hand again, signaling Xiong Gangqiang to continue to move forward, there must be a pathfinder.
"I'll go, let the otaku be the first to rush up, the captain really looks up to me." Xiong Gangqiang said secretly in his heart: "My mouth is not pumping, what kind of promise is it on the road?" said that he wanted to stand in front of everyone, but this time it's good, retribution is coming. ”
No matter how crooked he was in his heart, Xiong Gangqiang didn't want to be looked down upon, so he stepped forward and moved towards the barracks as fast as he could.
Li Yuan took out the slap heat sensing tracker from his backpack, this thing is a must-have for the march, as the old bear continued to go deeper, he saw the red spots moving, and no abnormal conditions were found.
After going around the barracks, Xiong Gangqiang ran back quickly, lowered his voice and said, "Report to the captain, something is wrong!" The makeshift barracks here were clean, not a drop of blood was seen, and the equipment was untouched. ”
"Old Mo, Uncle Leng, does the Shadow Soul Beast have the habit of dragging away corpses for storage?" Li Yuan turned his head and asked.
"I haven't heard of it, unless there is more than one cosmic monster in the mining area, there are indeed monsters who like to eat human corpses, and there are many types of such monsters. However, what kind of situation is still necessary to do in-depth investigation. Mo Zang shook his head, indicating that things cannot be done by guessing alone.
"Really? In that case, Lao Xiong, you take my captain's badge to copy the exploration data left by the exploration team, and we will go to the entrance of the mining area later. Li Yuan pointed to Xiong Gangqiang in the direction of the barracks.
"Me again? Can I make a substitution? Old Mo Ta Xing. Xiong Gangqiang was cute and wanted to escape the dispatch, but he was kicked out by Mo Zang.
If there is a trap, the first entry may not trigger the danger, as the team usually sends people to throw stones to ask for directions, and the moment the trap breaks out is when someone enters the second time.
Xiong Gang trembled and ran into the barracks again, crying his father and calling his mother, he finally copied the data in his hand, and then ran back. If it weren't for the news that the enemy faction mecha had appeared, he wouldn't have been so afraid, you must know that the enemy hiding in the shadows is the most terrifying, he has suffered in this, and more than once.
Honorably completed Li Yuan's mission, Xiong Gangqiang felt that he could say goodbye to his years of otaku career, and he seemed to have regained his self-confidence.
Next, the Sky Wolf Team quickly moved towards the entrance to the mine.
When there was still some distance from the mining area, Li Yuan occupied a high point, took out the marching binoculars, and looked at the opposite side.
The Sha family has sent a large mining machinery to this place, just waiting to find out the situation of Zuihou, so that they can go deep into the ground to mine, but unexpectedly, something happened at this juncture.
The mine is still very rough, with only a rudimentary form, and the tunnel to the underground has already been drilled. Perhaps, it was precisely because of the tunneling that the things in the veins rushed up. The specific situation has not yet been figured out, which makes people feel bottomless.
"Captain, you won't be looking for me again, will you? I think something is wrong, the mining area is so quiet, I don't see a ghost, is it like this during the day? Shadow Soul Beasts are only active at night? Xiong Gangqiang took the binoculars, approached Li Yuan, and said while watching.
"Don't worry, there is a chance for you to show your might, Brother Xiong is a good player." Li Yuan patted Xiong Gang's shoulder, showed a wicked smile that made the good players panic, and pressed his belt.
There was a soft sound of "snort", revealing a dark shadow.
"Huh? Am I not dazzled? Could this be a carapace? Leng Bufan and Mo Zang gathered, the two of them were surprised, with their knowledge, they naturally did not know that the Kaishanjia Beast was a first-class tool for exploring and mining in the mining area.
"Yes, it's the Kaishani." Enjoying everyone's surprised gaze, Li Yuan was very happy.
An order was given to the Kaishanjia Beast, and the little guy scurried a few times before disappearing at the entrance of the mine, not at an ordinary speed.
"Boy, I'm starting to have some expectations for you, it seems that in addition to the things given to us, you have left a lot of hole cards for yourself, saying that those guys in the United Front Work Department are really underwhelmed, but they are very good at selecting people, let you be the captain, maybe you can really make a name." Mo Zang whispered.
"Shhh Leng Bufan took the image instrument from Li Yuan's hand, as long as it was something that the Kaishan Beast saw, they could see it.
The tunnel is carved straight up and straight down, and there are many gravity lamps embedded in the inner wall, which can generate electricity using the gravitational force of the stars. The carapace climbed down quickly along the inner wall.
The little guy was able to travel at the best speed no matter what terrain he encountered, and with a few scurries, he went deep into the end of the tunnels in the mining area and crawled into the cracks in the rock that crisscrossed the ground.
Just as the carapace was crawling, the scene it saw jumped sharply, and then the image was nothing, and the connection was severed.
"Damn, is there a problem with the instrument?" Xiong Gangqiang was watching it seriously, and the picture broke off very abruptly, startling him.
"It's not that there's a problem with the instrument, it's that there's something wrong with this vein." Mo Zang shook his head and smiled bitterly at Leng Bufan, no matter which situation they thought of, it cast a shadow on their actions.
The nine of them looked at the entrance of the mine again, it was still so quiet, but it made people feel a little terrifyingly quiet, like a savage ancient beast crouching there, ready to open its mouth wide and devour life at any time.
