In a dead basin, Jones drove the miners to smash the black rock wall with a mine chisel, and the two collided with a screeching sound, leaving a mark on the black rock wall, without much of a crack.

"It's so hard, but it can't be used as resource extraction." Jones complained within the communication channel.

Aina said flatly, "It's hard because under the pressure of strong gravity, the density is high, and its value itself is not high. ”

"I know, I'm a little confused, can this probe really find enough resources? Not to mention other light fixing probes, it takes at least twice as much time, and the mining department didn't even recruit that kid from Chitoki, and it didn't matter if it wasn't recruited, and even let us bring a novice, I originally fantasized that the newcomer could be the same as that guy from Chitaki, but it seems that I really thought too much. Jones slapped himself in the face and spoke.

"That, I'm sorry, can I ask who Chitaki is?" The voice of a somewhat timid girl rang out in the communication channel.

Next to Aina and Jones, there is also a miner, this miner is brand new, and it is also the latest combat auxiliary dual-purpose model sapper mech, the Mole JT-12, a standard second-generation mecha, the surface armor plate has been specially treated, and the defense power is 1.5 times that of the regular second-generation mecha.

Jones controlled the mecha and turned around and said angrily, "I used to be a newcomer like you, but he is different from you, he is a real gatherer, and you are just a theorist, although you have a nice name explorer, but you are not an egg." The last sentence Jones was tempted to say, but in the end he retracted it (the Explorer Higher Military Academy has created a new subject to train strategic exploration resource personnel, and after passing the practice, all graduates can obtain military rank positions and serve as mining department officers). ”

"I'm sorry for the trouble." The girl kept apologizing.

Aina said at this time, "Don't apologize, restrain yourself, and prove yourself with actions are more effective than any words." ”

"Yes, Captain Aina." The woman replied in trepidation.

Jones sighed, and didn't continue to talk about the new team member, after all, there was always a thrilling past, and during a reconnaissance operation seven days ago, the chick stayed behind to watch the probe, and the two of them went to the sides to scout the location of other areas.

When they returned, they found the fixed probe, because there was no one to guard the needle (because the ground was too hard), and the woman named Anne left without permission, and when Aina and Jones and the escort team were looking for her everywhere, Anne fled back in a mecha, and there were several floating eyeball monsters behind them, they discarded some fixed detection devices along the way, and they were very lucky to escape, but trouble followed, they lost contact with the escort, And I don't know if it's because they deviated from the original planned exploration route, they didn't gain anything along the way.

At this time, Aina's screen showed an latest message, "All the scattered exploration teams, all retracted, back to coordinates (4112, 2145) The third exploration team found a large rare ore vein." ”

"The latest order, call us back from above." Aina said in the communication channel.

The corners of Jones's mouth twitched, "How do you go back?" We don't know where we are, we don't know if we're going to run into those monsters, and we're separated from the escorts. ”

Aina thought for a few seconds and said, "If we don't go back, we'll drift further and further away from the big army." ”

"That, that." Anne said nervously.

"What's wrong?" Jones asked helplessly.

"My scanner reported that there was an abnormal pressure fluctuation on our western side, and the Axes index (environmental anomaly index) was rising in waves, which my mentor once said was a precursor to a storm." Anne said nervously.

Jones's expression was very exciting, and he immediately hurriedly shouted, "Don't run yet!" ”

The three of them immediately drove the miners in the opposite direction, and in a sense, the theorists were not useless.

On the other hand, Chromie was snorting, tears were about to be squeezed out, and his mental state was even worse after resting.

"Boss, are you awake? Where do we go now? Peake asked.

Chromie drove the mecha to look left and right, he found that after waking up, there seemed to be no difference in which direction he went, he simply took out a coin from his pocket and threw it, then glanced at the reverse side, pointed to the side and said.

"This way."

"Okay, get ready to go." Peake shouted in the communication channel.

Chromie led the team to the front, and Pique piloted the mech with a portable detector, shaking the detector as he walked, muttering in his mouth.

"Hurry up and get the resources out, it's best to have a large energy crystal mine."

After walking for more than four hours, Chromie couldn't help but scold, "Peake, can you stop for a while, my ears are almost calloused." ”

"Okay, I'll be quiet right away." Peake hurriedly replied.

Chromie breathed a sigh of relief, finally calmed down, and he lowered his head and picked up a bottle of pure water, which he just put in his mouth.

Peake shouted in panic, "Boss." ”

Chromie squirted out a mouthful of water, "What's the matter?" ”

"Look ahead, what the hell are those things?" Peake shouted in horror.

Chromie hurriedly raised his head and looked over, only to see that not far away, a large crystal clear thorn jungle suddenly appeared in the field of vision, of course, there was a reason why Pique was frightened, those crystal thorns seemed to move, and the whole thorn bend direction seemed to change, as if some creature had turned around.

Chromihan's hair stood up and yelled, "Run." ”

Chromie and the others drove the mecha around and fled, only to see the crystal clear thorns growing wildly in an instant, like a tide surging towards Chromie and the others, covering the sky and the earth.

As Chromie fled, he adjusted the rear optical imaging, only to see those very beautiful thorns chasing after him like maggots on the tarsal bones, and the distance between the two sides was rapidly shortening.

Chromie raised his hand and flicked off the launch buttons on the console, pulled the lever, and the fast-running mecha turned around sharply, opened one by one, and the missiles shot out.

After firing, Chromie turned around and continued to flee, and the missiles flew towards the overwhelming thorns behind him and crashed into them, as a result, when those missiles touched those crystal clear thorns, the missiles instantly seemed to be infected, and they were crystallized in an instant.

Chromie was so shocked by this scene that the cigarette butt in his mouth fell off.

"Boss, those things are catching up." Peake shouted anxiously.

"What are you doing with all this nonsense, run." Chromie shouted with a dark face, and although he didn't know how effective the light weapon would be, he didn't have much hope.

Pique drove the Ghost Messenger to Chromie's side and said, "Boss, your mecha has good performance, if I had run at full speed, I would have run away a long time ago, I'm worried that you won't be able to run." ”

Chromie's expression darkened, he really wanted to kick Pique, and he would be angry when he talked to him.
