Although he relied on years of prestige to stabilize his subordinates, Lin Lei has been anxiously looking at the entrance of the mountain, he is really afraid that Lu Chen will come back alone, if this situation really occurs, those mercenaries will definitely mutiny, at this moment, Lin Lei only hopes that a few fewer people can die, not only Lin Lei is anxiously looking at the entrance of the mountain, other mercenaries are also looking at it, no way, this time you can see whether Lu Chen cares about them, if Lu Chen really doesn't care about their life and death, even if Lu Chen is strong, they will not follow Lu Chen.

When Lin Feng led his subordinates out of the mountains, what he saw was the scene that everyone looked at together.

And when those mercenaries saw Lin Feng's team, their faces were not good-looking, Lin Feng and the others were not in a good state, everyone was scarred, their bodies were covered with blood, and there were many wounded people who were being supported, this scene made the discussion on the mercenary's side suddenly louder, and some people wanted to say something to Lin Lei with excitement.

"Young master, you also saw it, that poisonous scorpion doesn't care about our life or death at all, choose, do you want him, or do you want us?"

This already has the flavor of forcing the palace.

Lin Feng, who had just come out, was a little dazed at first when he saw so many people so excited, but soon, he reflected it, and after following Lin Lei for a while, his reaction was also quite fast and decisive.

Looking at Lin Lei, who was about to be surrounded by a group of mercenaries, Lin Feng violently tore open the package behind him and threw it on the ground in front of Lin Lei, revealing the crystal nucleus that flashed yellow light in the package.

The sound of the package being thrown on the ground slightly attracted the attention of the mercenaries, and the scene fell silent for a moment. Taking advantage of this moment of silence, Lin Feng said loudly to Lin Lei, "Young Master." Lin Feng fulfilled his mission and accompanied the scorpion to investigate the enemy's situation. Fifty-two people went out, fifty-two people came back, killed seven hundred and three earth worms, and obtained three hundred and twenty-one earth worm crystal nuclei. ”

Lin Feng's loud words were clearly heard by all the mercenaries, and the content of the words shocked the mercenaries even more, and it was only at this time that they went to count the number of people. It was found that this was the case, although there were blood stains on the body and many people were injured, but no one died.

Lin Lei, who was surrounded by everyone just now, was even more overjoyed after hearing Lin Feng's report: "It's good to come back, it's good to come back, it's all back, hahaha." ”

Halfway through, Lin Lei stopped laughing. smiled and said, "It's hard work to kill so many earth worms." ”

Facing Lin Lei's commendation, Lin Feng said: "Don't dare to take credit, all of this is the credit of Lord Scorpion." If he hadn't trained us, he would have been able to sweep away the whole mountainous area of insects. ”

Lin Feng, who said this, put what happened into the mountains. It's all said.

I heard that Lu Chen could make the earth crack and make it impossible for earth worms to burrow into the ground. can only lead the neck to be killed, all the mercenaries who know that the ground worm is difficult. They were all shocked.

After listening to everything, Lin Lei spoke: "The poisonous scorpion went to the core of the mountain area to investigate, and let you come out, right?" ”

"Yes, young master, the strength of the scorpion is too strong, and we can't help at all."

Lin Feng's reports were all spoken out loud, not only Lin Lei heard it, but also the mercenaries around him heard it clearly, the people who questioned Lu Chen just now were a little embarrassed at the moment, but Lin Lei, who was forced to the palace just now, was in high spirits at the moment, standing on a high ground, Lin Lei glanced at the mercenaries, no one dared to look at him, which made Lin Lei nod with satisfaction.

"Now that I know how powerful the scorpion is, I can see clearly that the scorpion is not a person who only cares about himself, and we will fight side by side in the future, I don't want to see this kind of thing a second time."

Lin Lei, who took the initiative, did not reprimand those mercenaries too harshly, just reprimanded a few words, and let everyone leave.

The current situation is already very good, with the fact that Lin Feng and others are alive, the mercenaries already have respect for Lu Chen, too much harsh criticism will embarrass these mercenaries, and it is very important to stop in moderation.

At the same time, Lin Lei also breathed a sigh of relief, it was good that nothing happened, he was really afraid that something would happen just after he came to the battlefield.

……

Lu Chen didn't know all this, when he returned to the camp, everyone was respectful to him, and the original hostility was gone, such a scene did not surprise Lu Chen too much, and he spent so much effort to protect Lin Feng and the others, Lu Chen did it for this scene.

is still that indifferent expression, Lu Chen rarely pays attention to people, during the day, Lu Chen's expression is considered by those mercenaries to look down on them, but now, they feel that the strong should have such a demeanor, attitude determines feelings, that's what I said.

Without entangling with those mercenaries too much outside, Lu Chen directly found Lin Lei in the largest tent in the camp.

In the room, not only Lin Lei was there, but Lin Feng, George, and Qin Xuan were all there, and when Lu Chen came in, everyone stood up.

Lin Feng asked even more anxiously: "Sir, I don't know how the situation in the mountains is being investigated, and there are any difficult beasts in it." ”

Glancing at Lin Lei, Lu Chen said: "Don't worry, there is no problem with the ground insects in the mountains, tomorrow, all of them will be dispatched, and two days will be enough for us to clean them all up." ”

"That's good." Lu Chen's words made Lin Lei's heart put back in his stomach: "This is an important mining area, after cleaning up the ground worms, the military will give us a lot of military merits, all of which are the credit of Mr., and the rewards in the future will not be less than Mr." ”

"Well, today's probe, Lin Feng and they are doing well, tomorrow let them serve as the backbone of the army, and train with other mercenaries, so that the speed is faster, do you have any opinions?"

Lu Chen's words made Lin Lei stunned for a moment, and then he reflected: "Since Mr. is interested, so be it." ”

Although the people who will be replaced tomorrow are all under Lin Lei's men, but this time they are all his men, and the replacement will not reduce his control, so he quickly agreed to this opinion.

"On behalf of the other brothers, Young Master Xie, Master Xie Scorpion."

"You deserve it." Lu Chen did this, but also to set an example for others and let others understand. You won't suffer if you follow him, like this. His words can be more useful in the team.

But. Lu Chen also didn't have the idea of seizing control of Lin Lei, unlike Qing'er, Lin Lei was very smart, if Lu Chen was strong enough, Lin Lei would surrender temporarily, and at the same time, Lu Chen also needed Lin Lei's wisdom and means to deal with some things.

After saying this, Lu Chen said directly to Lin Lei; "There are some things I'd like to talk to you about individually."

Hearing this, Lin Lei waved his hand. Let the others out.

When everyone else was far away, Lin Lei asked, "I don't know if Mr. has anything to say?" ”

"What kind of minerals are in that mountainous area, and who will mine them if we're done cleaning up the ground worms?"

Lin Lei has always been very enthusiastic about Lu Chen's question, and he did not hesitate to answer at this moment: "This mining area is Zelda Mine, and the metal condensed from Zelda Mine has extremely high heat resistance and freezing resistance, and is extremely strong. This mineral is mainly used to make some important parts of space battleships, and some are also used to make special mechas, which is a very important mineral resource, as for the question of who mines it. ”

Speaking of which. Lin Lei thought for a moment before he spoke: "Sir, you have to understand that the most important thing to get this mining area is not us. Rather, it is the army, which has them in front to resist the attacks of wild beasts. Only then can we be safe and have the energy to mine the mining area. Even if we solve the ground worms in this mining area, but without the existence of the federal army, we can't just face the ground worms as a creature, not to mention, if there is no army, we can't stand on this planet, and we will be driven out, so most of the credit in this is the army, and we only account for a small part. ”

"Needless to say, I'm not arrogant enough to think that the credit is all my own."

Lu Chen's reflection made Lin Lei breathe a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Lu Chen had cleaned up this mountainous area, so he thought that this mountainous area was his, and that would be very troublesome.

It's just that when Lu Chen said this, he sighed in his heart, although he had expected it, Lin Lei's words still made Lu Chen feel uncomfortable, which showed that he needed a lot of trouble to get those minerals.

"That is, is the mining area mined by the army?"

This time, Lin Lei refuted Lu Chen: "In order to ensure the purity of the army, the government does not want them to have more rights, so the development of minerals is entrusted to us businessmen." ”

Military power and political power compete with each other, as soon as Lin Lei said it, Lu Chen understood what it meant, and at the same time, his words also made Lu Chen's heart rise hope.

"Can you apply to develop this mining area?"

In this regard, Lin Lei thought for a while, or shook his head: "For us who clean up this area, we do have the ability to give priority to selection, if it is an ordinary mining area, I am sure to apply for it, but this mining area is different, the things produced here are all important materials that can be used by the army, non-big families and families can't get it, even if they get it, they have to pay a lot of price, if my family goes all out, it's still a little possible, but only one me, it's not good." ”

Lin Lei explained very clearly, just like Lu Chen imagined, but his words made Lu Chen ponder.

Looking at the pensive Lu Chen, Lin Lei asked, "Sir, do you want these minerals?" ”

Lin Lei is not stupid, Lu Chen did not hide it, he already knew what Lu Chen wanted, Lu Chen did not deny this, and nodded: "These things are very useful to me, is there any way you can get them?" ”

Lu Chen's request made Lin Lei smile bitterly: "Sir, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's really that I can't do anything." ”

After a long silence, Lu Chen suddenly looked up at Lin Lei and asked, "If we clean up this area, but instead of reporting it, and choose to mine secretly, do you think it is feasible?" ”

As soon as he finished saying this, Lin Lei shook his head: "No, sir, absolutely not, if it is discovered, it will be dealt with by military law." ”

Lin Lei didn't want to take this risk, but Lu Chen didn't know what he thought, but instead strengthened his inner thoughts: "You also said that if you are discovered, you will be disposed of, if you are not discovered, won't everything be fine?" ”

"It's really not possible, sir, it will take the army a few decades at most to clean up this planet, and there is no need to clean up this planet, as long as the danger of this continent is cleared, the insects in this area will not be able to escape, that is, at most, in a few years, the mining here will be discovered." Lin Lei wanted to use this matter to break Lu Chen's thoughts, but after Lu Chen heard it, his eyes lit up.

"A few years is enough." Looking at Lin Lei indifferently, Lu Chen said confidently: "It doesn't take a few years, just an opportunity, I can become a dragon-level contractor, as long as I become a dragon-level contractor, a few of my hole cards can also be used, in a short period of time, my ability can be comparable to a heaven-level contractor, do you think that the military, or the government, will be an enemy of a heaven-level contractor for a mining area, as long as my strength reaches the heaven-level, what you want can be realized, a heaven-level contractor is enough for you to be the lord of a city, Even building a small country is possible. ”

Lu Chen's words made Lin Lei take a deep breath, and after a long time, he spoke: "You can become a dragon-level contractor, I believe, but, heaven-level, it's not as easy as you think." ”

Although he was refuting Lu Chen, there was already a hint of loosening in Lin Lei's words, and he was a little undecided.

Lu Chen's description is indeed very good in the future, but what Lu Chen wants him to do now is to lose his head, and it is strange that he can make up his mind immediately.

For what he was worried about, Lu Chen did not explain it repeatedly, comparable to the heaven-level, it was indeed what he thought in his heart, after all, he had never seen a heaven-level powerhouse make a move.

But in this mining area, Lu Chen couldn't give up, looking at Lin Lei, Lu Chen sneered and said: "It's really difficult to become a heaven-level, but I have a trace of possibility after all, don't you, do you think I will care about you after I become a heaven-level, then I can find other people to cooperate, and now let you mine secretly, it is indeed risky, it's just, if you want to get what I described, you don't take any risks, is it possible?" ”

It is an eternal truth that you have to take as much risk as you want.

After finishing speaking, Lu Chen didn't pay attention to him, let him think, he was just drinking alone.

Lu Chen is confident that Lin Lei will agree, the capitalist can go to the gallows for 300% of the benefits, and the current benefits are not more than 300, in addition to these, Lu Chen also knows Lin Lei very well, this is a very decisive man, he will not be willing to be ordinary, if he is really willing to be ordinary, even if his eldest brother becomes the head of the family, he can also choose to stay at home.

And the truth was not beyond Lu Chen's expectations, after a long silence, Lin Lei picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank all the wine inside, and then, the wine glass was slammed on the ground by him, looking at Lu Chen, he said word by word: "As Mr. said, I did this matter, I hope Mr. will not forget what he said today."
