Bright missions, dark missions, poor intelligence, chess pieces.

Wu Qi muttered to himself, he inexplicably remembered the gorgeous and magnificent Gauss Stone containing countless mysterious points of light, and suddenly the layer of window paper revealing the mystery was in front of him, and it was broken when he stabbed it.

Wu Qi's obsidian-like eyes suddenly burst into a fine light.

Li Fushan, I think I can answer for you. The remaining one-thirtieth of the Gaussian stone in the underground of the No. 130 mine is not worth the lives of all our guards and miners, but there is another "thing" in the ground near the Gaussian stone vein that is worth our lives!

Wu Qi couldn't help but clench his fists when he thought of this. Whatever "that thing" is, there is no doubt that it will incur even more terrifying dangers, and Joestar and Li Fushan plan to hide from all the soldiers and let the escort team take their lives to protect it without any reinforcements!

Wu Qi couldn't consider this kind of behavior from the perspective of Joestar and Li Fushan, all he could do was to stand on the side of the soldiers who were used and deceived, racking his brains to think about survival countermeasures.

The condition for the excavation of this "thing" is that the mining of Gaussian stone veins is nearing the end, and if it is buried deep underground, it is likely to be below Gaussian stone veins. Once it is fully unearthed, it may at worst be at risk no less than the tide of plague beasts.

Wu Qi felt worse than ever, worse than being targeted by Morley's villain. At the same time, he was glad that all his intelligence gathering work was not in vain, at least he had predicted the invisible crisis before anyone else came. In this way, he and his companions will have time to prepare as much as possible, and the survival rate will naturally be higher than that of other unprepared soldiers.

However, Wu Qi has never considered the cold and ruthless number of "survival rate", as long as it is within the reach of his hands, he will never allow one of his companions to die!

That's what he's done all the way.

Wu Qi took a deep breath, followed the direction Li Fushan left, and left the hinterland of the mining area.

......

When the orange-red remnant sun sets on the western mountain, it announces the end of dusk and the beginning of night.

An unchanging silver moon hung high in the dark blue night sky, and the usual shining stars appeared in half as many tonight. The temperature in the mining area was about 5 degrees lower than the average night temperature in the previous days, and the mountain wind was sassy and the cold dew was quite heavy.

Wu Qi walked in his patrol area with a gun. At dinner, he had already informed Gao Yuan, Guo Baibai and others of his guesses and analysis, and their reactions were also expected by Wu Qi: although they were nervous and worried, they couldn't think of a way to confront or avoid unknown dangers at the moment, so they were quite annoyed.

At least it can prepare them. Wu Qi thought to himself silently.

Wu Qi is not omnipotent, in terms of combat, he is just one person; In terms of strategy, he is not a strategist. More often than not, he relied on the strength and wisdom of his companions.

Wu Qi's face was as still as water now, and there was no trace of anything unusual in his gestures. No one could see that Wu Qi was diving into the artificial passage leading to the underground space in his heart to get a glimpse of the true appearance of the Gaussian stone vein.

Since you are ready to do it, there is nothing to hesitate about. Wu Qi had already surveyed the terrain around the underground tunnel beforehand, and when the guards of the second shift were vacant, he returned to the camp as fast as he could, taking off his white uniform, revealing the pure black clothes underneath.

Wu Qi reached out from the back door of the tent, relied on the perception network to sense the location of nearby soldiers in advance, and quickly passed through the distance between the machine bunker and the entrance of the underground tunnel, and finally infiltrated the entrance of the underground tunnel.

Beneath the entrance to the underground tunnel is a stepped road that runs diagonally downward. The steps were not polished finely, but were stepped out of the smooth path by the miners.

Wu Qi went down the stairs to a place where the moonlight could not shine in, and it was completely dark; There are light bulbs hanging every 3 meters on both sides of the staircase passage, but Wu Qi is now infiltrating and can't turn on the lights.

No matter how good Wu Qi's night vision ability is, he can't see anything in a completely dark place. He took out a fluorescent lighting stick from the inside of his clothes, and after slightly folding it, the chemical material in the lighting stick emitted a faint yellow light, illuminating the distance of three meters around Wu Qi's body. With the light source, Wu Qi could clearly see everything in the passage.

Unconsciously, Wu Qi stepped on the lowest step of the ladder, and then it was flat. This is where the underground passage begins horizontally. Wu Qi looked around and found that there were long lines and thin pipes connecting the inside and outside above and on the sides of the rock wall.

Wu Qi walked down the passage to the depths, and there were no corners and forks along the way. Wu Qi passed through a passage smoothly, and the space in front of him immediately became wide.

This is a 3-meter-high cave space, and at first glance it is more than 100 square meters. The main tone of the rock wall is tan, and three spherical headlights hang on the rock wall, which are not extinguished in the middle of the night, and continue to emit bright yellow light.

There are also four openings in the cave space that connect to the narrow passages, and the tools and equipment used by the miners to explore the Gaussian stone and the steel frame that supports the roof of the cave can be seen at any time.

This underground passage is excavated close to the Gaussian veins and is used to allow miners to penetrate deep into the heart of the vein to survey the specific location of the vein and prepare for the work of the large mining machines on the ground.

"This is the initial cave space, and the Gaussian stone source that can be surveyed across the rock wall here is estimated to have been mined long ago. The last thirtieth of Gaussian stone, should be at a deeper depth. Wu Qi analyzed in his heart.

Wu Qi picked up a palm-sized, flattened rectangular detector on the lid of a wooden box. After the detector is turned on, if there is Gaussian stone in the direction of the detection line on the top of the detector, the screen of the detector will display a series of data, including the distance of the ore source, the stock density, etc. Due to the blocking effect of the rock wall, the detection range of the detection line is not more than 5 meters.

Wu Qi walked to the steel frame, took out a coil of rope, tied the end of the rope to the post of the steel frame, tied the other end of the rope around his waist, and then spread out the rope and drilled into the first narrow hole. He is confident in his memory, but there are no absolutes, and he is willing to do a little more to prepare.

Fifteen minutes later, Wu Qi returned to the cave space from which he started. He found nothing in the first narrow passage, which was expected.

Wu Qi didn't make any extra stops, and went straight into the second passage.

The second channel is very long, Wu Qi holds a lighting rod in one hand and a detector in the other, maintaining a certain speed and waving the detector regularly, but unfortunately the passage comes to an end, and the detection line still does not detect anything.

And at the end of the second narrow passage, there turned out to be a cave with open space. Wu Qi made an inspection and found that this open cave had two long and narrow passages.

The rope was not long enough, so Wu Qi took out a second loop of rope, fixed both of them to a steel pillar, and did the same as before, and then marched deeper into the passage.
