Although my injuries were severe, they were only traumatic injuries and I recovered quickly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After a few days, I was able to walk on the ground.

Company Commander Ruan, Davis and the others were busy with their tasks, and they never saw them again after saying goodbye.

Ever since learning about my "heroic" deeds, the people of the Children of Mars have held me in such a way that they have made me very restrictive.

Teresa still didn't give me a good look, but she didn't scream "scourge".

My body was not back to the state where I could perform the task, and I had a fairly quiet time during this time.

When it's okay, just wander around.

The Martian Sons factory is just one building in their huge base.

The base itself is built next to a dry ice mine.

Affected by the mining ice, the outdoor temperature is below minus 50 degrees Celsius all year round, and it is located in the remote area of the Eye of Mars, which is also quite inconvenient for transportation.

For various reasons, it has become an independent and autonomous part of the Eye of Mars.

Proxima Centauri simply sent a battalion of Marines around the mine, and after receiving a promise of peace, they left, not even a single garrison. This laid a good foundation for the son of Mars to gain a foothold.

Putting on heavy winter suits and breathing masks, I wandered around the mines for a few days before I realized that the Children of Mars were not a small community in the imagination, but a dominion in the true sense of the word.

It was later learned from the natives that the Children of Mars were a huge organization with nearly 100,000 members.

Physically and warmly, I can't further expand the scope of exploration inside the Martian Child.

That's what makes a startling discovery.

Well-equipped army units, neatly equipped aviation forces, and even shuttles.

I'm curious about this place that is like a country within a country.

How could Proxima Centauri tolerate the existence of such a force? What if the war is urgent, and the armed forces in the mining area fight back?

"Didn't they think about annexing this place entirely?"

"It's not that the aliens don't want to annex us, but they can't."

I looked up and saw that the person who had answered my self-talk was an uncle in ordinary clothes, about 50 years old and approaching 60, with a little star frost on his hair and beard.

In the face of my questioning look, he smiled back with a lonely smile.

"Young hero, don't worry, I'm not a suspicious guy. Although no one here dislikes me and calls me a traitor, I am innocent, and my lover came from Proxima Centauri many years ago, not to mention that she has died, and this was before the war...... Uh, can you understand what I'm saying? ”

"You mean, although my wife is a Proxima Centauri, she died early, and everything happened before the war, so you're not a traitor, are you?"

The uncle nodded violently, showing a touched look.

Looking at his appearance, I was reminded of how I felt when I was slandered as a spy.

With a feeling in my heart, I shook my hand involuntarily, "Don't care about identity, it's not your fault, war is like this, in fact, it's all big guys playing, we ordinary people, who is right and who is wrong." ”

My uncle was very helpful to my words, and insisted on pulling me to his place to sit down.

It's very close to the mine, and it doesn't have central heating like the factory, and when we came to his house in more than 50 degrees below zero, our bodies were about to freeze.

An old fuel stove with warm orange flames licking the hearth. The girl sat in front of the stove and mended clothes.

When I entered the door, I saw a warm fairytale-like scene, and I couldn't help but be stupid.

"Teresa, look who's coming! He is what people often say, Zhao Ping, the legendary hero who fought against devils. ”

As soon as the uncle entered the door, he couldn't wait to tell his daughter the news.

"Teresa!"

"Scourge!"

"How are you!!"

The two of us reacted in unison, which made the uncle stunned.

"So you know each other!"

……

Lunch around the stove was simple and warm. The feeling of being at home after a long time moved me to cry.

"I really didn't expect Teresa to have such a side!"

As I drank the hot soup, I felt a feeling.

"I'm sorry to surprise you. I have such a side, what kind of side? What do you think I am? ”

Seeing the girl raise her eyebrows and look ready to fight, I wanted to knock myself on the head.

Good atmosphere, what do you do with this?

"Uh...... Basically, the image you give me is always fierce, and it really surprises me that you suddenly become so virtuous. ”

You can see that the girl's face turned red instantly, and the eyes in her eyes that looked at me became extremely murderous.

I didn't care about putting on a heroic score, so I hurriedly leaned back in my chair and made a defensive gesture.

"Teresa is usually offended, and I'm here to accompany her."

The uncle inserted in to play the round.

I hurriedly said no, but she didn't say anything while she was puffing up.

The uncle asked me to forgive the little girl for her extreme behavior.

"She has been snubbed by her friends since she was a child because her mother is of different races, and the development of this character is completely forced by life, please forgive me."

"Dad! What are you doing with him!? ”

"Silly boy, you make trouble for me and offend people every day outside. I'm here to help you, so that you won't be kicked out and have no home! ”

"Dad! What is there to say to a stranger with him! ”

The atmosphere at the dinner table was awkward, and I hurried forward to play a round.

"Uncle, why did you say that Proxima Centauri didn't dare to attack the Martian Son? Can 100,000 members alone really hold them back? ”

"Child, if you don't understand the situation, let alone 100,000 people, even a million can't scare the devil."

"Humph! Not everyone is as timid as he is. ”

The uncle glared back at Teresa.

The latter closed his mouth and made an uncut look.

"The real dependence of the Martian children is the mines. Dry ice veins are inherently complemented by geothermal resources. Located in the core of the mine, the refinery uses geothermal resources to refine dry ice ore, sort impurities and liquefy pure dry ice and send it to the outside world through cryogenic pipelines. Due to the extreme instability of liquefied dry ice and the peculiarities of the hot and cold geological structure of the mining area. A small explosion could damage a dry ice mining platform and break the existing geological structure, halting production for months. ”

"Therefore, as long as we threaten the devil on the grounds of the safety of the ore veins and refining facilities, he naturally does not dare to mess around in order not to lose the source of valuable dry ice ore."

Teresa thought Uncle was slow to speak, and then summarized the dependence of the Martian Child in extremely concise language.

I finally understood why the Martian Sons were able to grow in size, but the doubts were not explained.

"Even so, the devil doesn't need to be so jealous. It's a pure mining city, and it doesn't produce its own food. They don't even have to stop the food supply, as long as the supply is reduced appropriately, I think the Martian child will face collapse. ”

The two of them looked at me with inexplicable expressions.

My heart thumped.

Hasn't anyone ever made such a simple inference?

What are the devils doing to make the illusion that they are subject to the safety of the mining area?
