Chapter 478: Mine No. 12
"This is the only way to enter the mine area - the main elevator passage, since you have joined our criminal mercenary team, then we will help you pay for the first time in the mine, remember, you will have to pay for it yourself in the future, whether you enter or exit in the future", Lin Ze followed the sword-faced team through the abandoned mining town, and came to a huge metal gate embedded in the entire mountain rock, the metal door is at least 20 meters high, like the terrifying mouth of the entire mountain peak, from the edge of the giant gate that has been shuttled, the thickness of the metal door can be visually measured more than 2 meters.
The knife face is the self-proclaimed name of the ugly woman, she took off a bag of bottle caps from her waist and handed it to a power armored guard by the giant gate, she glanced at Lin Ze, who was stunned, and continued, "Everyone reacts similarly to this giant gate comparable to the city wall in the knight's novel when they see it for the first time, but think about the main elevator behind it, you can understand that as the only entrance and exit of the huge underground ore vein mining area, it naturally needs to be spacious and strong enough, and the inside is laid with the crystal brick technology of the El. That can be regarded as the most solid material for the construction of ruins, let's go, the main elevator consumes a lot of energy, not a large-scale transportation of mineral equipment will not be opened, this cost is very expensive, we go down the stairs over there. ”
Lin Ze glanced at the main elevator that he said with a knife face, obviously, this is the kind of rune floating pressure ladder that he has seen in the sister city of Yunshan World, the elevator gate is 20 meters wide and more than fifteen meters high, which is far larger than the floating pressure ladder in the underground sister city, as for the staircase, it is only an emergency staircase four or five steps wide, and you can see mercenaries coming and going on the stairs from time to time.
"Who are those who collect the money?" On the stairs, Lin Ze opened his mouth and asked in a low voice, he was very curious about the guys who had to charge for entering and exiting the main elevator, this was obviously a lucrative business.
"The top three mercenary teams here work together to maintain the maintenance and protection of the main elevator", Dao Yan paused, seemed to hesitate, and then added in a low voice, "The top mercenary teams have the shadow of the Law Academy or the Control Federation behind them, and there may also be some powerful big chambers of commerce and big organizations, don't provoke them." ”
Law Courts and Control Unions? Understood, it is less risky to obtain low-cost resources by supporting and controlling mercenary teams than controlling a mine alone, especially since some large equipment is expensive to build, and it is much easier to destroy than to build.
The stairs were very long, Lin Ze didn't count them, through perception, he only knew that they had come to a depth of at least 150 meters underground.
"This is the last public area of the main elevator passage, our prisoner is Mine No. 12, the mine here is sorted according to the value of minerals, No. 12 is a relatively ordinary place, but no one will know what will be mined in the depths of the mine", a younger brother next to the knife face took over the introduction at this time, "It is strictly forbidden to use hands in the public area under the mine, after all, in case the mine collapses underground, no one can get good, you have to be careful after entering your own mine, different mines may intersect when digging and digging." , and then a big war broke out. ”
"Sister Dao, you're finally back, I'm looking for you urgently", just after walking through the narrow passage leading to Mine No. 12, a young man ran anxiously.
"Shhh~ Something to say", Dao Face turned his head to look at Lin Ze, "I have entered your identification information into the defense system, and then you can go to Mad Luli, he is an ammunition expert of our mercenary team, there are a lot of good things there, of course, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask someone at will." ”
Lin Ze watched the knife face and the few people who followed her all leave, and then looked at the passage of the No. 12 mine in a hurry, the style here is different from the main elevator, it looks more rough, the main body of the passage looks like it is made of concrete, there are cameras rotating back and forth at intervals at the top of the passage, and there is a simple cable channel fixed on the top edge, and the optical cables inside are neatly arranged.
The automatic turrets on the walls, the frequent patrolling guards, the inside of the mine didn't look as calm as it seemed, and the mad Lu Li Lin Ze was looking for was behind a well-guarded window counter, with concrete walls and counters, metal fence windows, and at this moment the strange man in the window was concentrating on disassembling the bullets on the chemical test bench.
Point 38 bullets, the most common and most powerful bullet on the ruins of crystalline soil, Lin Ze glanced at the experimental table, and Crazy Luli, who was wearing strange engineering microscopes, put away the disassembled warhead, gunpowder, and bullet casings respectively, the most worthy of recovery in the bullet is gunpowder and bullet casing, and the main material of the warhead is lead, which is relatively common, what is he doing here? The laboratory table is obviously different from the alchemy laboratory table used by those mages, and is a set of chemical laboratory equipment composed of some beakers, flasks, crucibles, etc.
"Another soul full of sins, newcomer, welcome to the sin prisoner mercenary team, as long as you have a bottle cap, I have what you want here", Mad Lu Li raised his head from the experimental table, reached out and pulled the edge of the counter, the whole person shuttled along with the rolling wheelchair, slid to the window, and his bloodshot eyes scanned Lin Ze.
"Wow, let me see, a powerful prisoner of sin, ho, all over his body exudes tempting sins~"
"Sin?" Lin Ze won't be able to get used to this strange rhetoric for a while.
"That's right, sins, this world is full of all kinds of sins, from the moment everyone is born, sin accompanies their whole life, beauty is sin, wealth is sin, life is sin, knowledge is also sin, I was blown off my legs because of this sin, if it weren't for the fact that those idiot sins were not deep enough and didn't calculate the amount of gunpowder, haha, we are all prisoners of sin~"
Prisoner of sin? Sin prisoner, understood, Lin Ze somewhat understood, "Not having strength and wisdom is the biggest sin!" ”
"Aha! You're a person who understands, I'm starting to appreciate you a little bit~" Crazy Lu Li suddenly grinned, although the smile was a little weird and scary, "Point 45 pistol, semi-automatic, it looks like it is well made, a sharp weapon used to slaughter the inhabitants of the wasteland~"
"Oh? You are said to be an ammunition expert, and I was asked to come to you. ”
"If you're talking about dismantling inferior gunpowder, re-separating and purifying it into high-explosive gunpowder, then I'm an ammunition expert, of course, I also work part-time to add some material to warheads, or use molds to recast shells of different calibers, but I'm best at making some mining 'tools', yes, the kind of tools that can be put in bags with a boom in ore deposits, that's much more efficient than augers, isn't it?"
Detonators, directional blasting! Oh, is the mining here so wild, Lin Ze immediately reacted, no wonder there is no need for miners, but this way it is easy to get rid of the most precious scarce associated ores in the minerals, he did the work of a miner before becoming an explorer, and manual mining is for those precious rare associated ores, and some of the associated ores are even worth as much as the entire main ore vein.
"Don't look like you don't believe it, I also have 45 modified bullets here, if you don't believe it, you can buy some to try, and give you a suggestion, it's okay to slaughter residents without armor with ordinary 45 bullets, if you really want to go to the mine, you still need to equip some special bullets", obviously Crazy Lu Li misunderstood Lin Ze's expression.
"I~ I don't have any money, I just came here, and I have some money left over to stay", Lin Ze didn't want to explain much.
"It's okay, I see that you have 4 pistol magazines on the straps on the side of your legs, the first time I counted you cheaper, 2 ordinary point 45 bullets for a point 45-1 pointed steel core armor-piercing bullet, you change a magazine, believe me, when you go down to the mine and face those things, you will understand the purpose of armor-piercing bullets, and it doesn't have much effect, does it?"
"Okay!"
……
"Hateful! That damn ugly monster, brother, don't you know that she didn't take our blood scorpion in front of so many people in the bar at that time, if this evil breath doesn't come out, then in the future, no one will dare to come to our blood scorpion head to shit and pee! The young man in the leather jacket returned to his station in the abandoned mine town and immediately began to complain.
"Be quiet lately, my dear brother, now is not the time to provoke hostility, our spies have already hooked up with a purchasing director of the law court, and getting the support of the law firm is far more important than anything else", on the other side of the table, a man with blood-red facial lines on his face spoke in a flat tone, but full of unquestionable taste.
"The Law Academy? Brother, can the law court look down on us? The youth in the leather jacket immediately calmed down.
"There is nothing possible or impossible in this world, it just depends on whether you can afford that price", the blood-colored man puffed lightly on the smoke ring, "With the support of the Law Academy, other things can be easily solved." ”
"Brother, I understand, I will stay in the station well in the near future", facing the cold eyes of the blood-faced man, the young man in the leather jacket trembled slightly, and quickly responded.
"That's the best!"
……
"Huh? Newcomer, I didn't expect that after such a long time, our prisoners finally have fresh faces to join", Lin Ze had just left from Crazy Lu Li, and he met a middle-aged man with a kind smile coming over to say hello, the middle-aged man was neat and clean, he stretched out a hand to Lin Ze, "Hello, I'm Mu De, you can call me Uncle Mu, it's been the third year since I came to Mine No. 12." ”
"Hello, I~ I am Da Dun, they said that they wanted me to have an easy-to-remember name", Lin Ze shook hands with the other party with a stupid face.
"Haha, it's been a long time since I've met such an interesting young man as you, Da Dun, it's really easy to remember, have you ever been in the mine before? Or is this the first time? ”
"I just came, and I heard from friends from other strongholds in the town that you can make money by going to the mines, can you really make a lot of money here?"
"If you can get enough gains, of course you can make a lot of money, but newcomers will always encounter a lot of dangers in the mine", Mu De's face was slightly serious, "According to incomplete statistics, most of the people who died in the mine were newcomers who went to the mine for the first time, because they were not familiar with the environment under the mine and how to deal with it after encountering danger. ”
"Really...... It's true? Lin Ze looked a little flustered, "Is it dangerous to go down the mine?" ”
"It's not safe anywhere in this world, the key is to be familiar with the environment, as long as you are familiar with the environment of the underground mine and have some survival skills, it's not a problem to make a lot of money in this way", Mu De looked at Lin Ze with a serious face and sincere eyes.
"So how can I get familiar with these as soon as possible?" Lin Ze hurriedly asked.
"It's not easy to say, it's not difficult to say, you need to find an experienced team to take you to the mine to get familiar with it a few times, hey, it's a pity that my team needs an experienced new member, otherwise other team members have opinions, otherwise they can take you to increase your experience", Mu De looked regretful, frowned, and hesitated for a while, "Otherwise, if you are willing to take less points for them, I may be able to agree to you joining, after all, we are also a very powerful team, and adding a newcomer has little impact." ”
"Is that okay?"
"It should be no problem, originally we were evenly distributed 10% per person, in this way, you take 1%, and I will give the rest to the three of them 3% each, so that they will have nothing to say", Mu De looked at Lin Ze seriously.
"This ...... I~I, I'll find someone else to take a look first~" Lin Ze shrank his head with a trembling face, and his eyes revealed a thick reluctance.
"Hey, okay, I also suggest you find other teams to see, maybe someone will be willing to take a new person down the mine", Mu De smiled, without a trace of dissatisfaction, "Then I'll look for new members, you can go to the hall over there to find me." ”
Lin Ze watched Mu De go away, and now he thought that it was a little early to go down the well immediately, he needed to familiarize himself with the environment, at least find a place to live first, he turned around and walked a few steps, and the sound of two conversations in the distance came.
"How's this newcomer?" It was an unfamiliar voice, coming from a middle-aged man in fiber protective armor.
"This newcomer is a little crazy, he has never been in the mine, he opened his mouth and asked me for a 15% share, I said that he didn't agree to the equal distribution, thinking that he could be different with a door panel, I Mude has been in the abandoned mine town for so many years, and I have never seen such a crazy newcomer", this gentle voice is very familiar, it is the 1% of Mu De just now.
Lin Ze had a certain step, and the kind smile in his mind just now immediately turned into a sinister face, he didn't think there was anything wrong with that person before, but he knew that it was immediately arranged behind it.
"Hey, I wanted to go over and take a look, but fortunately you listened to him, if it were for my temper, he would still be 15%, and I would have slapped it earlier", the other person sighed.
"Yes, I've been in the mine for so many years, who doesn't know that I have a good temper, thanks to him meeting me, I still smiled and refused, forget it, find a reliable member, this kind of newcomer can't afford to wait", Mu De sighed a few words, and then said goodbye to the man and left.
It seems that this kind of dark thing is easy to breed under the atmosphere of this free and loose mercenary team, Lin Ze quickly flashed a thought in his heart, according to his arrangement, I am afraid it will not be easy for him to find someone else's team, or form a team by himself?
