Chapter 42: The Redstone Star
Black Rose hull, captain's outdoor.
Black Rose leaned against the wall next to the door to the captain's room, her grim face silently listening to the Hydra's painful roar in the captain's room.
Yang Feng is arguing with Renault, A1 is supervising the transformation, and she is sent to watch Hydra to prevent accidents.
Footsteps began to sound, and from the other side of the hallway, Hill walked towards her with a steady, but not slow, step, and then stopped beside her, looking at her quietly.
ββ¦β¦ There you are. Black Rose still kept her head down and didn't look at him, but she asked when she noticed that he was coming.
"Hmm." Hill nodded, and then he heard a slight roar coming from the captain's room, and chuckled, "It looks like it's not easy." β
ββ¦β¦ Are you here to laugh? β
"I don't have the guts." Ciel bowed to her slightly, "I'm here on behalf of someone else. β
Black Rose raised her head and looked at him for the first time.
"Who?"
"Someone you should know." Hill smiled and said, "This is what my employer asked me to answer, and I forgive me for not telling you her name." β
The hint in the words made Black Rose react immediately. She frowned: "...... What to bring? It's only been less than a year now, isn't it possible that she still hopes for some miracle to suddenly appear in the midst of this chaotic situation? β
"Of course not, it's just that my employer asked me to tell you that this should be the last time."
As soon as the words fell, Black Rose immediately rushed to Ciel's front and grabbed Ciel's collar at once: "What did you say?!" β
Hill replied with a tepid smile, "According to calculations, this should be the last time." β
Black Rose let go of her grip on Hill's collar and seemed to lose her soul, staggering back a few steps before retreating to the wall and standing against it.
"Last ......"
Hill straightened his clothes, and the smile on his face remained the same: "Employer's words I have brought to ...... But I'm curious to see what you're happy about...... Or sadness? β
ββ¦β¦ Will he achieve his goal? β
"Unfortunately, no." Hill shook his head, "Or by calculation, no. It was the last time he tried. If he doesn't, he won't continue. β
Black Rose fell silent, her face seemed even darker than before.
ββ¦β¦ What about you? β
"Me?" Hill was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, "I'm actually glad to be able to end this boring life...... For so long, it's almost all planned life. With that, he pulled out his cigarette, held it in his mouth, then took out a lighter, lit it, and handed the cigarette case to her.
Black Rose glanced at it, reached out and took it, taking a closer look at the cigarette case.
"Keha Golden Rose? Isn't this a cheap brand? β
"I've never pushed myself on this kind of thing." Ciel took a deep puff of his cigarette, then exhaled a cloud of smoke with a relaxed expression.
"How dare you go over your lungs." Black Rose complained, pulled one out of it, took out her own lighter and lit it, took a puff of it, then spat out a cloud of smoke, and then handed the cigarette case back.
Hill took the cigarette case and put it away, looking at the captain's room, where the Hydra's roar was still coming out, "When are you going to tell them?" β
"Let's look for a chance." Black Rose flicked the ash off, looked at the cigarette in her hand and said, "...... Just, what will happen to us? β
Hill froze, and suddenly he realized that he couldn't answer the questionβor rather didn't dare to answer it.
ββ¦β¦ I don't know, who knows what the future holds? β
Black Rose smiled, laughing sarcastically, laughing indifferently.
"I don't know...... Hmph, we only have the power to know. β
At the same time, the A1 bridge.
"Redstone ......" he muttered as he looked at the fiery red planet shown on the tactical map, "this is not an easy place to visit, you should know." β
"That's why it's more lucrative there." Renault reminded, "According to the employer's intelligence, the insects have recently invaded there, and the empire and those businesses have long since evacuated there, which also gives us a chance to make a profit. β
"Alien ......" Yang Yi still couldn't forget the fact that the black rose was controlled, and his brows furrowed slightly, "Are you sure?" You should know that once you get involved with bugs, it's generally not a good thing. β
"This time our mission is to mine." Renault's expression seemed a little relaxed, "We just need to hold on until the amount of minerals we mine reaches the specified number before we can get out of that hell." β
"But what we have to defend against is the attack of the swarm......" Yang Yi was a little unsure, "What about the landing location?" β
"This is where the task gets trickier." Speaking of this, Renault's expression also became a little solemn, "You also know the problem of the Red Stone Star, the geological activities are very frequent, although it can produce a large number of precious mineral deposits, but it also increases the difficulty of mining. β
"This is what we're going to mine." With that, Renault sent him a data document.
Yang Yi casually accepted the document, opened it and looked at it, and his face changed suddenly.
"Dark Gold?!"
"That's right, that's what we're here for." Renault nodded and continued, "The minerals of Redstone Star are basically bare ore on the surface due to geological movement, while the dark gold is basically distributed in low-lying areas where geological movement is active, and the low-lying areas of Redstone Star are swallowed by magma every few days due to intensified crustal movement, so we must escort the SCV and transport vehicles of the mining team to protect them during their mining, and escort them back to the base on the high ground when the crustal movement intensifies, and wait until the crustal movement is over to continue the next cycle." β
He looked at the golden picture on the document, and his eyes seemed to be a little uncertain.
"What about the specific battle plan?"
Matt drew up a draft. As he spoke, Renault put a schematic map into the channel so that Yang Yi could see it, "There are six mining sites given to us by the employer, and we have three of them." If we find more mining sites in the mining process, we can also continue to send troops to land and establish new mining sites. As long as we can get things done as quickly as possible, employers don't care what we're doing on Redstone. β
"Where's the information about the swarm?"
"It's just a secondary swarm with only a secondary hive. The only trouble is that this swarm is roaming the orbital Behemoth, which may have a large number of swarm flying units on board, so we need to be careful. β
Hearing the words Behemoth, Yang Yi suddenly came to his senses, his eyes seemed to shine, and his originally somewhat hesitant tone suddenly became firm.
"Okay, I agree!"
(It doesn't matter if you can't understand the front, just assume that the author is zz.) This is used later (in fact, it is the number of water words (laughs)), of course, it must be useful, and the water in the morning and water in the evening is water)
(In addition, you may often watch me scold myself, mainly because I want to go the way of trolls so that trolls have no way out, so that the comment area is not full of all kinds of trolls, mainly because of your opinions and interactions, so I do this.) οΌ
(And the other energy weapon of the human race...... At least the battle patrol is really quite mature, and the Hubelian air defense group should be an anti-aircraft laser artillery group, this worm has it in his heart. Including large laser weapons such as the Draken laser drill, as well as the Sidewinder Chariot, it cannot be said that there are basically none, it should be said that human beings have no choice but to specialize in energy weapons or live ammunition weapons or other special weapons, trying to do all-round - the result is not very good in any way...... οΌ
