April 7, 2508. The third star field, the unstable space zone, the military buffer zone, the black domain.

It's too dangerous to send people deep underground. Zhu Di didn't want to take this risk, and he didn't want to send the soldiers to death by himself.

It turns out that the problems that can be solved with money are not problems. The last thing Xinghuang lacks is money, and Zhu Di directly transferred four engineer regiments.

and supporting heavy construction machinery.

It took three days for the four engineer regiments to be assembled in place. Tens of thousands of people and all kinds of engineering equipment are working day and night in the mine.

There's only one thing to do, and that's to dig down!

Dig up the whole underground world! As many dragons as there are, they have to be exposed to the surface. Only by bringing the battlefield to the surface can the advantages of the army be brought into play.

Dragon?

It's the Dragon King who is coming, whether you are the king of the earth and the mountains, or the king of bronze and fire, and when you reach the ground, you will have to face the naval guns. Looking at the main guns of battleships with a caliber of hundreds of meters, they will take turns to persuade you to be kind.

is still round after round of persuasion, knowing that the dragon king was influenced by it.

However, the premise of everything is that the target can be confirmed on the ground, and if the friendly forces are not accidentally injured. If it is underground, let alone the main guns of the battleship, the more powerful explosives may not dare to be used.

At this moment, there are no friendly troops underground, and the four engineering regiments are crazy to use explosives, and when they encounter a slightly harder rock formation, they begin to plant explosives and blow the entire rock formation to pieces.

The four families in the pastoral domain are stupid. It's not because of Xinghuang's violence, or because of his arrogance. Their hearts are dripping blood, and according to the digging method of Xinghuang, there are still a few pieces of bloodstone left.

But compared to the loss of the bloodstone mine, the star phoenix is obviously more terrifying, and the four families of the pastoral domain dare not speak out.

These days, as the Engineer Corps struggles to dig, the sentinels on the periphery keep spotting people approaching and trying to break into the mines.

Without an order, the sentries did not dare to open fire at will, only to intimidate from a distance. After the report was handed to Zhu Di, Zhu Di immediately gave instructions.

The content is very simple, just one sentence: "Trespassers, shoot on the spot." ”

At the same time, more and more manpower was being deployed to the ground. The patrol is no longer a squad of a few people, but a formed combat unit.

Mixed infantry units, armored units, heavily armored infantry units, heavily armored marines, hoplite samurai, etc. After this power was revealed, no one could not think about it and went to the mine.

The first company of the engineering corps worked for almost half a month. Long Qi went from being bored to learning to see the Xu Shanshan sisters for the first time, lying on the hillside, watching the sunrise and sunset.

Suddenly feel that maybe life should be like this, comfortable? At least Long Qicong thought it was quite comfortable. A few days earlier, Long Qicong went to the construction site every day to supervise the progress of the project.

At that time, I felt that they were working too slowly. In fact, hundreds of tons of earth and rock were pulled out, and the engineering corps was definitely not slow.

Later, Long Qicong slowly stopped going to see it every day. Every two or three days, when I went to take a look, I only felt that the progress of the project was advancing by leaps and bounds.

Looking back now, Long Qicong felt that before, his mentality was like a child by the stove, anxiously waiting for adults to make food.

No matter how fast you do it, it will feel slow.

Today, Long Qicong, as usual, is enjoying a comfortable afternoon. The sun shines on the body, it is very comfortable and warm.

Xu Shanshan and Long Qicong also lay side by side, and Xu Yingying stood behind her sister. Long Qi saw his sister's expression clearly from this time, she was not obedient, but simply disgusted with the dirty grass.

Chen Shitong is better, but she doesn't like to lie on the grass, just sitting.

At this time, Zhu Di flew and landed in front of Long Qicong. Leaned over and pounced on Long Qicong's body, looking at Long Qicong with a smile. Long Qicong slowly opened his eyes and asked.

"What's wrong? There has been progress. ”

Zhu Di showed a dissatisfied expression, got off Long Qi's body, and said, "The engineer regiment dug up something, it should be a bloodstone vein." Now I want Xu Shanshan to recall the direction of the past, and they are ready to dig horizontally. ”

"Huh?"

"I'll come to you and borrow the two sisters for a while, okay?"

Long Qicong was stunned, Zhu Di said this on purpose? Make it seem like Xu Shanshan is her own person? At least not yet.

"You should ask them personally."

Zhu Di smiled, just staring at Long Qicong. Long Qicong was frightened by her, turned to Xu Shanshan and Xu Yingying, and said, "I'm sorry for you." ”

Xu Shanshan got up and saluted Long Qicong slightly.

"Yes, young master."

Zhu Di laughed even more, and glanced at Chen Shitong meaningfully. Chen Shitong couldn't wait to tear apart Zhu Di's stinky mouth, and almost couldn't help it, so she pinned her head more than 90 degrees.

It looks like it's going to break, but I just think this person is so flexible.

Seeing this, Zhu Di stopped teasing her and led Sister Xu Shanshan away. Zhu Di walked away, Long Qi got up and walked in front of Chen Shitong.

Chen Shitong noticed the young master's movement, turned his head, and cast a puzzled look.

Long Qicong smiled slightly, took Chen Shitong's hand, and walked forward. Chen Shitong has a strength far beyond Long Qicong, but at this moment, she is like a girl, led by Long Qicong.

Chen Shitong secretly looked at Long Qicong's face, and Long Qicong kept smiling. Sensing Chen Shitong's gaze, he looked at her. Chen Shitong immediately retracted his gaze and blinked his eyes twice in a panic.

She looks serious, but the crimson of her cheeks betrays her.

Long Qicong felt that at this time, not being able to speak, even a word, would make her shy.

"Young master."

Chen Shitong said hesitantly.

"Huh?"

"Do you hate me?"

Long Qicong was silent for a moment, did not answer directly, and asked, "Why do you ask that?" ”

"There are more and more girls around the young master. I, I, can't I? ”

Chen Shitong didn't seem to ask clearly, but Long Qicong already knew what she meant. sighed, stopped, and said to Chen Shitong.

"Shi Tong, your surname is Chen."

Chen Shitong was stunned for a moment, and a sharp blade slashed in his heart. This sentence is not difficult to understand, and it does not refer to any difference in lineage. It's just the mistrust that comes with a simple position.

"Young master, what if I tell you that I may not be surnamed Chen?"

Long Qicong looked at Chen Shitong suspiciously and asked.

"What do you mean?"

Chen Shitong bit her lip and was determined to tell the story of Yueyin's mother's heart. After the cause and effect were narrated, Long Qicong was silent.

Chen Shitong was worried about Long Qicong, and stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Long Qicong's eyes.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Chen Shitong was shocked and at a loss for a while. She didn't expect that the young master would say such a sentence. She imagined the young master's scolding, outrage, and even indifference.

But I never thought that it would be such a sentence "Thank you for your hard work".
