Everyone got on the troop carrier heading to the Azure Crystal Mine, and a few hours later, they arrived at the mine area.
Although this is not a large base like the one where the military headquarters is stationed, there are still many high-strength alloy buildings covering the mine in order to ensure the lives of the miners and guards and to guard against possible sneak attacks by the Blade Demons. A small mining base was established.
Lu Ze and others were sitting on the troop carrier, looking at the shadows faintly emerging through the yellow sand in the distance, and listening to the veterans' explanations.
In the mine, miners and guards will take shifts every once in a while, and then they can return to the military base to rest.
It was originally a few days before the new shift started, but an unknown ferocious beast's lair was dug deep in the mine. Even part of the mine collapsed, so veterans like them had to go in advance to help deal with it.
As the veteran explained, the personnel carrier continued to approach the small base in the mine, and the entire small base slowly became clear in the yellow sand.
Everyone can see that the base is surrounded by an alloy exterior wall about ten meters high. Various energy cannons are placed at each distance on the exterior wall, and several teams of soldiers patrol back and forth.
Like the large military bases, the small bases also have protective masks. The light blue protective masks are like egg shells, covering the entire mining base.
The troop carrier arrived at the entrance of the mine base. After being inspected by the guard soldiers, the troop carrier entered the mine base.
After entering the base, Lu Ze and others opened their eyes wide and looked at everything outside the car window.
There are all kinds of tall mining equipment, smelting equipment, energy furnaces that release fiery breath, mining trucks transporting light cyan crystal ore back and forth, busy miners in full swing, and groups of patrolling soldiers.
The entire mining base exudes strong vitality.
Seeing everyone looking at the scene in the mine with some surprise, the veteran grinned and said with some pride: "This azure crystal mine is one of the top-ranked large-scale mines on the entire Planet 25." , the azure crystal mineral reserves in this area are quite rich, and we spent a lot of money to compete with the Blade Demons for this mine."
Then, he chuckled: "But, in the end, this mine still belongs to us!"
Lu Ze looked at the proud veteran with a smile and said, "Uncle Joseph, you must have fought hard at that time, right?"
"Does that need to be said? But even four captains came, and Captain Marin died in the end. Plus low-level officers and soldiers like us, the sacrifices will be even more."
Having said this, Joseph sighed, then touched his cheek with his rough hands, smiled, and continued: "However, everyone is actually mentally prepared. When soldiers fight, they may die on the battlefield at any time. "
Lu Ze and others looked at the grinning Joseph, feeling a little complicated.
The eight of them all live within the Federation, and some of them are even from very good families, with many strong people in their families.
Although they knew that the fighting in the border area was fierce, when what they saw and heard truly revealed the tragedy in front of them, they still had some ups and downs.
While they were living in comfort, soldiers were dying every moment.
Seeing the complicated expressions on everyone's faces, Joseph smiled freely and said: "Second Lieutenant Lu Ze, actually you don't have to think too much. We all know it when we join the army. Even if we really die in battle, our families can receive federal pensions and have no food or clothing." Worry is not unacceptable."
The federal army recruits some enthusiastic young people, as well as those who were born poor and want to fight on the battlefield. Most of the recruits are recruited in this way.
After all, the Federation has never treated the relatives of soldiers who died in battle poorly.
Joining the army is also a path for many people from humble backgrounds to strive for.
The troop carrier arrived at the military camp while everyone was chatting, and everyone got off one after another.
Then, a young soldier came over and saluted Lu Ze: "Hello, Second Lieutenant Lu Ze! My name is Herman, and I was sent by Captain Mu Han to pick up you and your team!"
Lu Ze nodded to the young soldier: "Hello, Private Herman, lead the way."
Lu Ze felt a little happy now.
A few days ago, I was called a private by Second Lieutenant Mickey, but in the blink of an eye, I became a second lieutenant and could call others private.
No, akimbo, it makes me awesome!
Later, Lu Ze and others were led by Herman to an office in the military camp.
Captain Mu Han was a middle-aged man with a square and majestic appearance. After seeing Lu Ze and others come in, he raised his head and gave them a serious look.
Then, Herman walked out of the office and closed the door, and Captain Mu Han stood up from the chair behind his desk.
He rubbed his forehead tiredly and said, "Second Lieutenant Lu Ze, you are finally here."
Due to the unexpected situation in the mine, he has been busy these days and feels that his body is hollowed out.
After saying hello, he walked to the sofa on one side and sat down. He pointed to the sofa opposite to Lu Ze and others: "Sit down and talk."
Lu Ze and others sat down as instructed, and then Lu Ze asked with some confusion: "Is the situation serious now?"
When Captain Mu Han heard this, a trace of worry flashed across his brows, and he sighed: "It's very serious."
He explained: "There are fifty-four mines in the entire mining area, and the deepest mine, No. 45, is more than seventy kilometers long. It was in this mine that a ferocious beast's lair was dug, and then the ferocious beasts rioted. The entire No. 45 mine was destroyed, and several nearby mines collapsed, and... "
After saying this, Captain Mu Han rubbed his forehead in distress: "The ferocious beast even rushed out of the mine at one time. The strongest ferocious beast that rushed out was at the seventh level of Danwu Realm. I could only drive it back. There’s no way to kill it.”
"What's even more troublesome is that those ferocious beasts may dig other mines at any time in the underground mines."
Lu Ze frowned slightly when he heard this.
The ferocious beasts that built their lairs underground were obviously very good at digging holes. It would be tragic if they were dug into other mines.
Thinking of this, Lu Ze smiled and said, "So, I just need to go into Mine No. 45 and kill all those ferocious beasts, right?"
I don’t know what type of ferocious beast it is, or whether it’s delicious
After eating a sand sculpture once, Lu Ze was full of expectations for the taste of ferocious beasts on this planet.
If he had the chance, he would also like to catch another sand tiger to try.
Seeing Lu Ze say this, Captain Mu Han smiled slightly from his cold and serious look: "The news from the military department said that Second Lieutenant Lu Ze was a young genius, and even the geniuses of the Blade Demon Clan were captured alive. I will definitely become a young master in the future. If you can go down and clean up the vicious beasts, I will be relieved."
Lu Ze was a little embarrassed by Captain Mu Han's words and scratched his head: "Ahaha... Am I so powerful? Thank you Captain Mu Han for the compliment."
Oh my god! This guy looked old-fashioned and serious, but he didn't expect that he would always praise people in the same way, which made him feel a little embarrassed.
Lin Ling on the side saw Lu Ze scratching his head and smiling sheepishly. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and lightly kicked him with her toes.
After all, Captain Mu Han is the commander, can't this idiot be a little more mature? ? Would you die if you were a little humble?
Smiling like an idiot!
Ye Mu and others on the side couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths and turned their faces away, not really showing that they knew this person.
But Captain Mu Han was slightly stunned when he saw Lu Ze admitting it so straightforwardly, and then laughed: "Hahaha, Second Lieutenant Lu Ze has a straightforward personality. I like young people like you!"
When Lu Ze heard this, the smile on his face froze, and he smiled awkwardly and politely at Captain Mu Han.
He doesn't like middle-aged handsome guys.
Captain Mu Han didn't pay attention to Lu Ze's expression, and said with a smile: "Because the ferocious beasts in Mine No. 45 are not weak, ordinary soldiers will suffer heavy casualties if they go in, and there are not enough strong ones, so they have to lead the soldiers there." Rescue the miners who collapsed in the mine, so Mine No. 45 now needs people to clean it up. Second Lieutenant Lu Ze is extremely powerful, so it is best to leave this task to your team."
When Lu Ze heard this, he nodded, smiled and said, "Leave this to us."
After saying this, Captain Mu Han paused slightly and frowned: "However, Mine No. 45 is connected in all directions and has many branches. The entire area covers dozens of kilometers, and some may even be hundreds of kilometers long. It may be It’ll be a little hard to find.”
When Lu Ze heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched.
So spicy?
How can he find this
Is this the rhythm of a maze game
At this time, Lin Ling smiled and said, "Leave this to me, I can find it."
When everyone heard this, they were slightly stunned. Lu Ze touched his chin and looked at Lin Ling with a somewhat proud look.
Has this guy's magical powers improved
Captain Mu Han heard Lin Ling's words and nodded with a smile: "Since you have the solution, I'll leave mine No. 45 to you."
Lu Ze smiled: "It should be, this is our mission."
After all, this is their enrollment task for freshmen, so it is impossible to refuse.
Moreover, the task doesn’t seem too difficult
Afterwards, Captain Mu Han stood up, called Herman in who was waiting outside the door, and asked Herman to take them to Mine No. 45.
After leaving the office, everyone came out of the military camp. The aerial vehicle slowly moved on the smooth road of the base. The hot breath of the energy furnace made the air in the mining base extremely hot.
After passing through several streets, the group finally arrived at the location of Mine No. 45.
The entrance of the mine is surrounded by alloy, and there are various load-bearing pillars inside to prevent it from collapsing. The diameter of the passage inside the mine is about four to five meters, and it looks quite spacious.
There were several groups of soldiers standing guard outside the mine, guarding the entrance. After the float vehicle stopped, Lu Ze and others got out of the vehicle.
At this time, a soldier with the rank of lieutenant came over. After confirming the identities of Lu Ze and others, and after Herman introduced their mission, he let them enter the mine.
