"How's it going?" Someone immediately came over and said chatteringly.

Aman said: "Opal! Is my sister all right?"

Opal's eyes were red, and he waved his hand to say nothing. Hugo asked, "Where's Si? Can Si's disease be cured?"

Opal was still immersed in the sadness of parting with Recht, and said loudly: "Everything is going well! The police are coming here soon!"

The people around were relieved, and Opal said, "Let me be quiet."

Hugo immediately let the people who came to ask questions leave. Locke came over with water and said, "What's the matter with you, Opal?"

Opal sat on a stone, was silent for a while, took out the package, distributed the hot dog inside to them, and said, "I bought this on Crimson Star, don't worry, Si is being treated in the hospital, there is a special People are taking care of it, Anya is at the police station, and it's in the newspaper. The galaxy police have already been dispatched, and they will be here in five days."

Oman they got three hot dogs, which were cold but still tasted good.

Opal said: "The environment on Crimson Star is good. I met a friend who is the head of the Horrens Mining Company. He promised to give everyone here a new job opportunity."

Locke said, "What else did your friend say? This thing is delicious, and Scarlet Star's bread is so soft."

Opal said: "Everything tastes good there, and there are some cheap wines. How about you? Tell me about the situation here."

Aman said, "What did Anya do?"

Opal said: "She is in a large rescue center, you see."

He took out his projector and turned it on, and a light screen was projected on it. On the light screen were newspaper headlines. After leaving the Crimson Planet, the information was no longer updated, but the information from yesterday was still preserved.

Anya's photos and news headlines were shocking. Opal turned on the audio reading, and the content of the newspaper was read out, including the response measures the government was about to take. With the evaluation of them from the Executive Star newspaper, unspeakable anger appeared on everyone's face.

The report mentioned their rights, but they lived a life worse than a robot. Opal turned his voice up a little bit, and by the end of the entire episode, the dark miners in the canyon were silent.

Opal said: "They are coming soon, and all we have to do now is to protect ourselves. Each of us is a witness."

In an instant, there was a burst of cheers in the canyon, and the miners came forward and hugged Opal like a dream.

Opal motioned them to calm down, Oman went to tell all the captains, settle down the workers, Opal went deep into the canyon to see his spaceship.

Now he is the only one left.

Locke followed behind him and said with a smile, "Hey, Opal, Aman and I are both afraid that you won't come back."

"How could it be?" Opal said, "I have to come back to lead you, and the next situation may be very dangerous."

Hugo said: "They all know they have to fight. Oman gave them a meeting, and now, everyone is willing to follow us."

Opal said, "What about your village?"

Ugo said: "They are coming soon, I will leave them a direction. Someone discovered the tunnel we dug the day before yesterday, and they all went to the warehouse to steal things."

Opal: "… "

"That won't work," Opal said. "It's against the law to steal!"

"It's all our own," Oman said.

Opal couldn't do anything about them either, and said, "Already on the way? I have to hurry up and fix the spaceship, maybe it will come in handy."

The spaceship was neatly tidied up, the tools and parts were sorted out, put in the cave and covered with a cloth, and the entire spaceship was wiped clean.

Hugo said: "We don't know how to repair the spaceship, and we don't know what we can do for you, so everyone cleaned up your things together and wiped them again."

Opal was very moved and said, "Thank you, come and do me a favor."

It has been three days since they stole the chip. According to Ugo, the residents of another miner's village in the rock bed are on their way, and about 10,000 people are heading towards the red rock bed with their families.

"What about the rest?" Aman asked.

Opal said: "Other people don't care, they don't know anything, so it is still safe. After the people from Black Rock Mining Company came to B11, the first thing should be to trace the whereabouts of the chip. If the chip is not found, they will not Dare to kill people."

"Can kill?" Locke's face changed immediately.

Opal said: "Are you afraid?"

"I... I," Locke said.

Opal said: "When the time comes, you will all hide in the mine. Don't worry, nothing will happen. I will lead them away. Come on, help me fix this spaceship first."

Opal began to check the engine of the spaceship. This is a small search and rescue battleship with four small laser cannons on it. He first turned on the left engine, and the injection system could still be used, but the power core had been completely blown up.

There is a nitrogen jet in the spare propulsion system he stole from the warehouse. The Opal is connected to the energy battery. With a humming sound, the rotating shaft in the jet slowly rotates, followed by a terrifying noise. It was smashed into powder and sprayed out.

"What is this?" Aman asked.

"Atomic furnace, my teacher left it for me," Opal said. "Now I'm going to try it on the engine."

Several people looked at Opal. After he was busy, Hugo and Locke gave him a hand. When the switch was finally turned on, it caused a big explosion.

"Oh, forget it." Opal ran away in dismay, utterly devastated.

The friends couldn't stand up with laughter. Opal said, "Some things cannot be achieved by faith alone."

"You better pull it away and fix it," said Aman.

Opal scratched his head in distress and said, "Try again."

On the third day, Opal was still inspecting the spacecraft, and the miners were looking for shelter according to the previous plan. As long as they waited until the galaxy police arrived, they won.

However, as time passed by, the uneasy feeling in Opal's heart became stronger and stronger.

Only he and One-Eyed Ugo were left in the canyon, while Aman and Locke took the others to take refuge.

Hugo watched his movements. Opal was trying to put the star map that Recht gave him on the central control panel. The central system of the small search and rescue ship was intact, only the engine could not move.

Ugo said, "How did you learn to operate these things?"

Opal replied: "My mother brought me here when I was a child and put me here to play, and she was in front of the console, sending a distress signal into the universe."

Ugo said: "She is asking for your father's help?"

Opal said: "Maybe, I was very young at that time, almost every ten days and a half months, my mother would bring me here, let me play in the sloping cabin, and she herself sat in front of the console and said: "Can you hear me? I'm Lena, can you hear me? "

Ugo said, "What about later?"

Opal shrugged and said, "Later, when I was six years old, she didn't come back, maybe because she couldn't find someone else."

Ugo said, "Is it because the stars are so far away that your father can't receive the signal?"

Opal said: "No, the long radio waves in the universe are transmitted by jumps, beyond a certain distance, you have to use this kind of... Well, this is called a small radio wave space jumper, it can make the radio waves enter the sixth dimension for a short time. , after walking for a while, reduce the dimension and return to our world, so basically you can receive it immediately."

Opal pointed to a small box to explain to Hugo. Hugo smiled regretfully and said, "I don't understand. Could it be that the box is broken?"

Opal also thought of this, but he didn't dare to tear it apart. Instead, he said, "How about you? How did you and Si know each other?"

Ugo came over with water and hard bread, and the two sat down for lunch. Opal flipped over to Sand Bolt's poison sac, carefully squeezed out the venom, put it in a sprayer, and tried to put it in the square box above E7's head. Spin up, this thing might be useful.

Hugo said: "Si's father died in a mine accident, and he gave me the chance to escape. The mine accident cost me an eye."

Opal said: "Is that the time four years ago? The medical facilities on Crimson Star are very advanced. It is not difficult to transplant an artificial eye for you."

"Let's talk about it." Ugo said: "Si can be alive, it is already very good for me."

Opal nodded thoughtfully. At this moment, there was a thunderous vibration in the sky, and the four spaceships entered the atmosphere, with red flames from friction with the air, dragging their tails to the south. .

"They're coming," said Opal.

Hugo said, "Is it the police or someone from the company?"

Opal said solemnly: "I don't know, it should be someone from a mining company. I'll go take a look. You tell them not to come out."

Ugo said: "I'll go with you, I know where the ruins of the mine disaster are."

Opal said: "Yes, but you must hide behind me."

Hugo promised, and the two put a large piece of cloth on the spaceship. Opal removed a laser gun from the spaceship and ran into the minecart, drove out of the canyon, and went to the landing site of the spaceship.

At the end of the red rock bed, on a huge plain connecting the Brown Ridge Mountains, three hours' drive from the canyon, four spaceships lined up. a vacant lot.

This is where they came five days ago, not far from the building where the chips were stolen.

They have discovered the tunnels that Hugo dug and started beating the miners who stole it. The message that Hugo had previously conveyed was to let them leave immediately after taking the things, and go to the canyon to wait for the arrival of the police.

But there are still many people who haven't set off for a long time, the total number is close to tens of thousands, and they are the first to be assembled by the foreman.

"Where is Ugo?"

"Where is Ugo!!!"

"There is no Ugo." A foreman checked the list and reported to the director who stepped off the spacecraft: "He dug the tunnel, this person must have something to do with the matter!"

The director said, "Ask them where Ugo went."

"Yeah—" the girl screamed loudly, pulling her hair.

"Let go of her!" Several miners stepped forward angrily, and the crowd rioted, forming a confrontation with the foreman. The foreman slapped a thin miner to the ground, kicked a few more feet, and said angrily: "Hand over Ugo!"

"You thieves!" Hicks grabbed a child by the collar, dragged him to the middle of the clearing, pushed him to the ground, and said, "Stealing something! This is a crime! Take them back to the Crimson Star immediately and report the crime! Sentence them to death!"

The crowd moved uncomfortably, and a mother burst out crying, holding her baby.

Opal stuck his head out from under the cover of the mountain and stared into the distance. At this moment, no one of the miners said where they were.

"Let Ugo come out!" Hicks yelled.

The director gestured for him to come, and then said loudly: "This is a theft case, you all need to be investigated, get on the spaceship, let's go to the crimson planet and call the police."

"Really?" Ugo asked.

"He's lying." Opal said, "He wants to transfer all people to another planet and destroy the evidence here. Ugo, it's up to you later."

Ugo said: "What?"

Opal said: "As soon as I say go, you will get in the car and lead everyone away. Use the fastest speed to lead them into the canyon of the red rock bed. I will save them."

Ugo said: "You are crazy! You are only one person! You must not be able to do it."

Opal said: "I can do it, get ready to get in the car."

Opal raised the interstellar laser cannon removed from the battleship, and Ugo said nervously: "What about you?"

Opal said: "I will find you as soon as possible to meet, then I have another way. Prepare, you have to act immediately!"

Opal ran to the crack of the mountain, looked around for a while, and buried a disintegration tube for mining under a huge rock.

In the open space, the miners had been escorted by robots and lined up, and the rear hatch of one of the transport ships was opened, ready to board the ship.

These robots are like an enlarged version of E7. They walk on crawlers and are equipped with an electromagnetic gun on each side. They are used in mine operations to expel dangerous beasts. There are more than 200 robots. Each foreman is equipped with two Taiwan, presumably to prevent riots.

The arcs of nearly 10,000 volts on them are enough to turn people into coke.

Opal put the laser cannon's scope in front of his handsome eyebrows, and used the electronic telescopic sight to spy on the movements below. The field of vision was enlarged. There were four transport ships, two of which were used to carry people. The other two are relatively small, with the rear hatch closed.

There should be one with a small flying combat droid - the buzzer-flying, mosquito-like, lethal weapon with a flare gun, maybe both.

Such a large transport ship, I am afraid that there are tens of thousands of them, and they cannot be allowed to appear.

These robots all have a computer control center, which is coordinated by receiving signals from the security system to hunt down intruders. But in such an open place, it cannot be accurately positioned once it is released, so it needs to be positioned through the signal system on the spacecraft. As long as the command center is paralyzed, the combat robot will not be enough...

The gates of the first transport ship opened slowly.

The miners began to board the ship. Opal put the laser cannon on the rock and fired a shot. Then he turned the gun head and fired directly at the transport ship!

The first shot landed, all the miners screamed in fear, and the crowd exploded!

The shock wave blew on the side of the open space, and the sand sank a little with a bang, and then the second shot came and accurately hit the landing gear of the transport ship!

With a hum, the door landing gear was interrupted, and it got stuck in the loud noise.

The foreman immediately shouted, "There are enemies!"

Hundreds of foremen pulled out their guns, and the rain-like white light bullets flew towards Opal's hiding place behind the mountain. Opal put the laser cannon on his back and shouted, "Go! Leave me alone!"

Ugo jumped on the minecart they had driven when they came, pressed the button, the minecart galloped out of the rock cover, and rushed out of the Brown Ridge Mountains area in the fire and explosion!

There was black smoke everywhere. The miners screamed and fled one after another. Countless light bullets chased Ugo's minecart all the way, and the ground combat robots followed up. Opal took a deep breath and stared at the top of the mountain. His eyebrows were furrowed, his forehead was dripping with sweat.

He pressed the detonation button of the mine rock disintegration tube, and the huge rock rolled down. The entire Brown Ridge Mountain collapsed in a large area, and tens of thousands of tons of soil poured down.

Ugo manipulated the mine cart to rush through the landslide, and the electromagnetic combat robots that caught up turned around one after another. Nearly half of them were washed down by the torrent of mud and rocks, and then buried in the soil layer by layer.

Opal gasped for a moment, took out the bottle of sand bat spray, put it on top of E7's head, and patted it, E7 whirled and flashed its lights, spinning in place, and went around the other side of the rock.

The next moment, the foreman shouted: "Let the fighter jets come out!"

Opal pulled out the big sword behind his back and jumped out of the rock. Everyone never imagined that there was someone behind the rock. Someone found him and immediately shot at him. More and more foreman backed away, holding guns. For a time, the light bomb flew towards the Opal like an overwhelming meteor.

The miners were still fleeing, the clearing was in chaos, cries, shouts, stray bullets grazed, and the wounded fell to the ground screaming in pain.

Opal raised his sword, blocked the light bullet in front of him, and shouted, "You all! Go back to the cellar!"

Then he stood at a distance of nearly thirty meters from the transport ship, crossed his sword with his left hand, and pressed his right hand on the sand, his eyes twinkling with the light of the vast stars in the depths of space.

The whole sand is bombed

It collapsed with a bang, revealing a bunker spanning 100 meters. The four transport ships tilted at the same time, and their tails fell into the gravel. The quicksand filled the pit and blocked the hatch of the transport ship.

it is good! Opal swung the great sword again and whistled at E7.

The dense rain of bullets became more and more intense. Opal was grazed by a light bullet on his shoulder, and the moment the wound was opened, it was carbonized. He immediately groaned, covered his shoulder with one hand, and ran away, looking for cover to avoid.

The inconspicuous E7 crossed left and right in the crowd, the sprayer above his head blew colorless smoke, went around the foremen's defense line, and murmured past. During the fierce battle, the foremen inhaled nerve gas, and immediately fell to the ground with eyes scattered on the ground. .

Opal leaned against the side of a huge, sloping battleship, panting, the wound on his shoulder blackening his eyes, and several flying combat robots burrowed out of the gaps in the hatches under the gravel, flapping their wings to shake the dust away, and headed towards him. The fleeing miners chased after them.

Opal clutched his shoulders, spread his fingers apart, and twisted in the air. The two chasing robots lost their balance and were forcibly twisted by the force of faith. into two balls of fire.

The battlefield gradually quieted down, leaving only the desperate cries of the miners. Opal put away his big sword, took off his small laser cannon, turned the one-meter-long muzzle, staggered back, and fired a cannon at the front of the transport boat.

With a loud bang, the four transport boats turned on their light engines one after another, and the high temperature erupted. They were trying their best to leave the center of the gravel. The quicksand was blown away by the electromagnetic wind.

The energy cover on the alloy shell of the transport boat hull flickered, the light projectile was bounced, and flew obliquely to the top of the mountain, an explosion erupted.

Oops, Opal suddenly saw E7 approaching and shouted, "Go in! E7! Go inside!"

The E7 swerved in the sand, approached a transport boat, tilted the sprayer, aimed it at the hatch that opened a gap, and fired up the jet motor.

The humming of the transporter's engines subsided again, the blue light from the light engines disappeared—the pilot inside must have fainted, too. The last transport ship wobbled into the air and headed out of the atmosphere.

Thank goodness, Opal didn't care about the escaped transport ship. He unloaded the laser cannon and threw it on the ground. He went over to check the casualties. His right arm was almost unconscious, and it was painful to lift it.

Opal said: "Find someone, you, it's yours." He randomly found a strange man and let him go over. The desert wind was strong and the neurotoxin had almost dissipated. Opal picked up a gun and handed it to him. In his hand, he instructed: "Take the foreman away, tie them up, lock them in the cellar, and keep them in the underground living hall, one for each family, and monitor them with guns."

The man turned pale and nodded.

Opal said: "If you dare to run away, you will shoot, you know?"

"You... What's your name?" The man said, "Where's Ugo? He promised us... "

Opal said: "My name is Opal, I am the one who told Hugo that the police will come, come here now! Come here!"

"One gun for each," Opal said. "Watch them. Don't let anyone in the cellar, and don't be soft on shooting! Don't be soft! If you don't kill them, they'll kill you!"

The miners came one after another, and there were wounded everywhere. They carried their wounded partners back to the village. The young people picked up the guns and carried the unconscious foreman away as instructed by Opal.

Opal said: "We're almost winning, hold on. Go to the cellar, close the passage, leave only the vents! Avoid bombing!"

He jumped into a minecart, threw the laser cannon on the back seat, and drove at top speed, chasing the red bedrock to the north.

Ugo drove the minecart on the plain and kept dodging, with hundreds of ground robots still chasing behind him. Electromagnetic arcs were intertwined and scurrying. He almost overturned the minecart several times. Zhong rushed through the rocks and fled to the northwest.

Opal drove the fastest speed, and it took him two hours to drive the car back to the crimson rock bed and ran into the canyon. Locke rushed out and shouted: "What's the matter! I heard an explosion! Where's Ugo? ?!"

Opal looked up and saw that high in the sky, the transport ship opened the rear hatch toward the ground, and hundreds of large flying combat robots flew out.

"Rock! Go back and tell Oman!" Opal said loudly: "Use metal! Reflective things as a shield! It can resist light bullets! Go back to the mine! Don't come out!"

Hugo's minecart appeared. He was struggling to control the minecart, with a group of ground robots galloping towards the red rock bed. Opal set up the laser cannon on the slope, fired a cannon at the ground in the distance, and then buckled down. The button for bursts, leaning in front of the crosshair to rotate the muzzle.

The laser cannon began to shoot, and an arc-shaped trajectory of light bombs was scattered. Hundreds of light bombs were swept along the route of Ugo's travel. Black smoke rose into the sky in the desert, and the ground robot had an earth-shattering explosion. The mine cart rolled over in the explosion, throwing him out.

Opal jumped off the high ground and rushed out of the canyon, and the large aerial combat robot in the distance found the explosion here and separated six high-speed chasing.

Countless light bombs flew obliquely from the zenith, and Opal ran with all his strength, leaving a trail of explosions on the rocky ground behind him.

There were deafening loud noises everywhere. Opal couldn't tell the direction. He ran on instinct and instinct. Finally, he jumped into the black smoke, rolled, coughed with tears in his eyes, and dragged out the injured Hugo. .

"Hugo!" Opal yelled.

Hugo's leg was crushed by the mine cart. He tried his best to push Opal away and motioned him to go quickly. Opal pulled his arm, carried him on his shoulders, wrapped one arm around his waist, and staggered back into the canyon. .

Large combat robots are chasing, and there is still a thousand meters... Soon.

Opal looked back and saw that the fighter jets were approaching in the black smoke, the muzzles on the arms of the humanoid mecha were bursting with concentrated blue light, and the large-scale positioning of the muzzle laser area covered their bodies.

Immediately following a loud noise, a dazzling white light covered the sky, and all the sounds were away from them in an instant, the earth appeared pale, and the fighter jets turned into fireballs and fell in the air.

Hundreds of small warships streaked across the sky, chasing after the flying fighter jets. The fighter jets bearing the Heiyan Mining logo exploded one after another and crashed.

"The people below pay attention, the people below pay attention."

"This is the Red Flame Galaxy Branch of the Galaxy Republic Galaxy Police, immediately put down your weapons."

Opal breathed a sigh of relief and fell to the ground wearily.

Opal laughed and said, "It's finally here."

"Hahaha—" Ugo laughed out loud, the two looked at the sky quietly, more and more black battleships with police badges landed on the red rock bed.

The fiery red spaceship slowly landed outside the canyon, with the logo of the Horrens Corporation on one side. After landing, the hatch opened, and Kadir ran down and shouted: "Friend! Are you okay! That's enough!" Handsome, single-handedly saving a planet?"

Opal lay on the ground and waved weakly at him.
