Chapter 3, Opportunity to go to the front
Kliman, one of the three overseers of the mine, has been working in the logistics system for more than ten years, and is now the captain and deputy battalion commander, mainly responsible for the distribution of operations in the mine and the daily output statistics.
And today is a day of headaches for Kliman. Last week, there was a situation from the front, after the last Zerg attack, in order to keep the fortifications on the front line strong, it was decided to increase the area of the defensive line. As a result, a crystal mine was discovered near the expanded defense zone.
The night before yesterday, General Douglas, the supreme commander of the group army, gathered the general superintendent of his three mines overnight for a whole day to study, and decided to coordinate a small group of mine soldiers to go to the frontline defense area to carry out emergency excavation work. And the person in charge of this work is Kliman, and this sudden action is called "mine grabbing operation".
"TM's, grab some ore from the front line, who knows when this TM bug will rush up. Do you use welding torches and stones to deal with those man-eating monsters? The more Kliman thought about it, the more angry he became, and he kept slandering, looking at the names on the report in his hand, and his train of thought was suddenly interrupted by a knock on the door.
"Who?" Kliman asked.
"Me!" As he spoke, a man in the uniform of a Marine Corps officer entered, with short tan hair, which, as can be seen from the epaulettes, was also of the rank of captain.
"Clark! It turns out that you commanded this operation! Kliman hugged the man as if he were an old friend.
"Hey~!" Clark sighed and said, "It's true that I'm responsible, but this time there is still a ** annoyance." β

Li De knew that he had injured someone, so he sent the little soldier to the medical room, and without waiting for the nurses to ask, he put down the wounded who was still unconscious, turned around and ran.
On the way back to the dormitory, Li De received a notification email. This morning's work was canceled, and time was left for them to pack their bags and assemble at the gate of the base at noon to go to the front line. The second monk Li Dezhang was confused and didn't know what he was going to do, but he now had a few hours to rest.
Back in the dormitory, there is a large room for 12 people per room. Li De himself didn't have any salutes, and a backpack was quickly put away. What do you do next? Li De suddenly thought of a place, the gym.
In the gym, there are only a few people doing stretching, strength and other exercises early in the morning. As soon as Li De came in, he saw the barbell rack at first sight.
There are three barbells on the shelf, and the barbells are loaded with several dumbbell plates of different weights. Li De picked up a dumbbell piece, and it didn't feel very heavy. He looked at the dumbbell plate in his hand, which said 15Kg.
This weight, Li De used to be absolutely unable to hold it with one hand, Li De was a little puzzled, since he woke up this morning, why is something abnormal?
He went back to the treadmill and began to run at full strength. When the counter showed a kilometer run, Li De looked at the time, and it was only a little more than a minute, which he had never dared to imagine before.
There must be something wrong, but looking at the people on the side, they don't look any different from usual, is it my own problem?
Now there is only one explanation for this qiΔ, and that is that his own power has increased. There may be others, such as reflexes, but right now, Li De has no way of knowing the specific situation.
Li De was a little excited to find this, but he didn't want to tell anyone about this secret. He didn't know what was going on, but he thought it had something to do with the beating he had done last night. It's strange, I've been beaten a lot before, why was it different last night?
Although I have doubts in my heart, my strength has become greater and my speed has become faster, which is something that everyone is happy about. Then Li De thought of the second question, how much strength do you have now?
Seeing that the people around him didn't pay attention to him, Li De quietly started the test. He first went to a treadmill to test his 100-meter speed.
Beep~beep~ twice, Li De began to run rapidly, and a few seconds later, there was another beep, indicating that the distance of 100 meters had arrived. Li De looked at the time, it was 8.31 seconds.
Swallowed a mouthful of saliva and immediately eliminated the number jΓΉ. Li De walked over to the strength tester again.
First, Li De grabbed one of the handles of the instrument and pinched it hard. THE INSTRUMENT SHOWS 220KG. This is a result that can be compared to the world champion in grip strength.
Next is arm strength, which is fist strength. Li De put on his fist gloves, aimed at the bullseye of the instrument, and did not use all his strength to hit it quickly.
Bang~! One punch knocks the target down, and the target automatically rises. The instrument showed 98KG, and Li De estimated that if he fought with all his might, it was estimated that he would be able to have more than 100 kilograms.
In other projects, Li De has almost reached an extraordinary number. At this time, Li De felt even more incredible, and he didn't dare to sue others, but pretended that nothing had happened. Quietly waiting for the arrival of the noon meeting time.
At noon, Li De came to the meeting place after dinner. He had no luggage, simply carried a bag, and lowered his head to meet at the assembly point with a dozen miners and dozens of marines.
Captain Kliman appeared punctually, and there was also a captain officer beside him, who looked to be no more than thirty years old, with short tan hair and a straight face. Looking at the military uniform he was wearing, it should be an officer of the Marine Corps.
Seeing Kliman arrive with the captain's officer, everyone immediately stood upright. Kliman began to speak: "This is Captain Clark, the officer who operated with us. Say hello to everyone! β
"Hello sir!" Everyone erupted in loud voices.
Clark nodded, and said with a stern expression, "Next, let me tell you the outline of this mission." Our forward troops have found a mine more than 20 kilometers west of the front line, and your task is to go to that mine and then mine back as fast as you can. Do you understand? β
"Yes! Sir! Everyone responded loudly.
"Report sir!" A Marine raised his hand.
"Say!"
"I want to know, our mission. Because we're not just mining. Sir! With that, the man chuckled quietly.
Clark frowned, looked at the iron-faced Kleman next to him, and yelled at the soldier who spoke, "You! Dequeue! β
The soldier took a step forward and left the line.
Clark glanced at him and said, "Your name, Sergeant!" β
"Vasily!"
Hearing this name, Li De's body couldn't help but shake.
"Good! Vasily, I tell you that your mission is to protect these miners, because they are the main target of this mission! If a miner dies during a mission, you don't have to come back! Do you understand? Staff sergeant! β
"Yes! Sir! β
"Good! Get in the ranks! β
Vasily took a step back and returned to the queue.
"That's it! Do you still have questions? Kliman asked.
Hearing that no one responded, Kari breathed a sigh of relief, and after scanning everyone again, he said, "Then let's get in the car, we will spend the night at the front line tonight." β
"Yes!" All miners and marines revert to. Dozens of people got on the armored transport vehicles heading to the front line one after another, and Li De deliberately avoided Vasily to prevent him from seeing him.
This time, they rode in the You Pig Transport Vehicle, and the whole car was like a big tin can, and ten people in the car were crowded together. Because the design of this personnel carrier is focused on the safety of the transport personnel, there is no consideration for comfort at all, and everyone is strapped to a rudimentary seat belt and shakes with the vehicle.
After an afternoon of traveling, and it was almost dusk, the convoy drove to their destination, Base 445 of the front line.
When I got out of the car, the group had been shaken apart. Those marines are quite adaptable, especially the veterans are still extraordinarily energetic, and the spirit of the recruits is a little sluggish. But the miners, including Kliman, were pale, and there was not a trace of blood on their lips.
Li De is also a person who has never driven a few times, and his stomach is churning all the way. When he got out of the car, his face was already pale, and he felt that although his two feet were stepping on the land of the planet, they were still soft, trembling constantly, and he couldn't control it.
After looking around, he hurriedly avoided Vasily's gaze and followed the temporarily selected leader of the mining team to their temporary barracks.
At night, Li De couldn't eat, his body was not very comfortable, and he didn't want to stay in the crowded barracks, so he wandered around the front-line positions.
After walking around, Li De saw a familiar figure, it was Captain Kliman. Captain Kliman couldn't sleep tonight, and for the first time he left the safety of the rear base and went to the front line, which was full of dangers.
Kliman also saw Li De and smiled at him. Li De immediately stood up and saluted, and said, "Good evening, sir!" β
"Relax, young man! Don't be so nervous. Kliman waved his hand lightly and said, "You're from the seventh group, called, Li De?" β
"Yes, sir! Do you recognize me? Leed was surprised that Kliman recognized him. You must know that the seventh group has more than 100 people, and Kliman has more than a dozen groups and more than 1,000 miners.
"Huh! Of course I do. I personally named the miners for this operation. You were the most efficient in the seventh group, I certainly remember. β
When Li De heard Kliman's praise, he scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Sir, I'm embarrassed about what you said!" β
"Huh! You're still young, do a good job! Once you've dug up a certain amount of crystal mines, you'll be able to advance to private! In the future, maybe you can be a captain like me! Kliman looked at the young man as if he thought of his youth.
