16. Mining areas

While the students from the civilian area were waiting outside the camp, a group of girls with the flag of the National No. 1 High School walked in front of them and entered the camp. The appearance and dress of these girls made the boys who were resting outside the camp look straight at once.

Even Ling Li couldn't help but sigh in her heart, "This girl from a rich family has really good skin maintenance, and everyone's figure is also very well exercised!" ”

Yuan Sheng entered the pioneer camp, and after a while, he walked out of it with a gloomy face.

Obviously, the process and the outcome of the negotiations were unpleasant.

Subsequently, the leading teachers of each class announced several matters to the livestock in their schools: 1. All school girls can build settlements around this relatively safe pioneer camp under the leadership of the teachers and station. Second, all the boys must set up their own makeshift camp five kilometres away from the camp, and all boys must leave the camp before dusk.

Then there are the groups, where the boys who are confident in their strength can join the hunting team, and the girls are mostly divided into the gathering team. If you really feel that your strength is limited and you are afraid of danger, you can sign up for mining or other transportation and other coolie tasks, as long as you are willing to endure hardships, the school will also pay according to the work and provide corresponding food.

In fact, the cornerstone of human society is these ordinary people who can endure hardships and stand hard work.

"Xiaoxiao, let's sign up for a hunting team." Hou Chengxin walked over with a spear in his hand and asked Ling Li. The nickname Ling Li got because he developed late when he first came to the city, and the little brother was smaller, and now although the thing has grown up, he can't take off the hat when he was a teenager, and it has become a label on his body.

In this regard, Ling Li was also helpless against these young playmates.

"No, I choose to be a miner." Ling Li shook his head and replied. In fact, when he heard "Yuan Papi" announce that the trial site was chosen in Huangyanggou, he made up his mind to become a miner. It wasn't just to avoid danger, but that there might be the source energy hedron he needed most at the moment in that ilmenite tunnel.

"Mining, you're going to mine?!" "Monkey" looked at Ling Li with his mouth half-open, "This will make other students look down on him." ”

"There are not so many beasts...... Monkeys, unless they venture deep into the edge of the camp. Ling Li said, "Do you think there are beasts in this valley that can feed more than four thousand people for a month?" ”

"Okay, we'll have to try anyway, and if it doesn't work, we'll come back and mine with you." The monkey said and turned away, he had to find his teammates and form a hunting party together.

After making a bowl of fried noodles with boiling water provided by the school, Ling Li prepared for lunch and left the pioneer camp with his bags on his back for the mining area in the middle of the valley. There are more than a dozen pioneer-built iron ore tunnels that allow direct access to the interior.

The mining area is relatively safe, with only two teachers on duty. In front of a small wooden house, there is a sign of the Ministry of Management of the Mining District, and outside the door there is a table behind which three girls are sitting and chatting.

Ling Li walked over, and then asked, "Is the mining office here to register and collect tools?" ”

"You want to mine?" One of them was slightly surprised, "Okay, please take out your student ID and register first." ”

Ling Li took out his student ID card from his jacket pocket and handed it to the other party.

The female classmate sitting in the middle, with short hair, returned her student ID card to Ling Li after registering her school, name, student number and other identity information, "Don't rush to get the tools first, each mining student needs to cut five tree trunks back first to build a mining camp." The axe is over there, you can wait for other students to come over and do the work together. ”

"Is there a requirement for the thickness of the trees?" Ling Li asked very carefully, his physical reserves were insufficient, and he could save some.

"At least the bowl is thick, that is, more than twenty centimeters in diameter. Of course, the thicker the better. Said the strong-looking girl sitting on the left. After she said this, she didn't know what she thought of, and her face suddenly turned red.

Ling Li wanted to make a joke, but he thought that he was not familiar with them, so he had to give up.

Leaving his backpack at the management office, he walked to the edge of the hut, picked one of the axes in a large pile of axes, and followed the direction of the girls to a wooded area near the river to prepare to cut down trees.

Despite its name, in fact, except for a few boxwood forests at the entrance to the valley, most of the valley is a mixed forest of pine, cypress, fir and birch. There are already dozens of registered mining students cutting down trees on the edge of the woods, and there are also some girls collecting food such as pine cones, mushrooms and wild vegetables in the woods.

Due to the cataclysm, the trees in this valley have grown very tall, and large trees have grown all over the mountains in the hugs of several people. Ling Li had to choose some trees that were less than three or four years old and not very tall to cut down. There is no way, no matter how thick it is, a tree trunk needs the combined efforts of several people to lift.

"This classmate, can we work together?"

Ling Li had just cut down a birch tree and was repairing the upper half of the branches, when he heard someone behind him.

He turned around, and saw a tall fat man, carrying an axe in his hand, standing in front of him like a mountain of meat.

"You...... Also ready for mining? Ling Li asked with some suspicion, this body type is not a cute little fat man.

"Why, isn't it?"

Ling Li didn't want to hit him, but he nodded honestly: "I heard that the mining tunnel is very narrow, I'm afraid you won't be able to turn around after you enter it." ”

The fat man didn't care: "I'll find a spacious place to work." ”

"You just said ...... What is the meaning? Ling Li asked.

"You see, this trunk is so long, it's inconvenient for one person to drag it, and it's just right for two people to carry it together. I mean, after cutting down the tree, the two of us worked together and carried it back to camp. ”

Ling Li thought about it, and what the other party said made quite sense, so he nodded.

The big fat man grinned and stretched out his right hand: "My name is Zhu Zhengang and I am from Qingya No. 2 Middle School." ”

Ling Li shook his hand: "My name is Ling Li, and I am a student of No. 5 Middle School. However, how can the students of the second middle school come to mine? ”

Zhu Zhengang said with a smile: "I calculated, in a few days, those guys who are full of muscles will be so hungry that they will come back to mine obediently, it is better to occupy a good place as soon as possible." Besides, I'm also afraid of death and tiredness, so I'm too lazy to follow those guys all over the mountains and wilderness. ”

Ling Li also smiled, it was rare to meet a person who said that he was afraid of death so justifiably and took it for granted, this should be a very interesting guy.

"Okay, let's cut down the tree first, and then carry it back together later." Ling Li said, picked up the axe, and continued to bury his head in the work that he had not completed just now......
