Resurrection Empire

Chapter 87: Abandoned mine

  In the 437 years of the Xinyuan calendar, Zijing Mining completed its enclosure. The molybdenum and iron ore mine with large reserves was named the Xinghuo Mining Area. Construction began three years later, the first phase of the project was completed five years later, and the excavation began in the same year.

   In 476 years of the Xinyuan calendar, the Xinghuo mining area was exhausted, and all kinds of super large equipment began to be withdrawn from the site, and all the demolition work was completed in 480.

Since then, this huge pit that has provided more than 20% of the molybdenum and iron ore output for the entire Origin star in the past forty years has become the breeding ground for the market beasts. The total amount of the internal market beasts has gradually increased with the years, until Reach the peak and form a complete underground market animal ecosystem.

The residents of the White Bone Valley site were attracted by the ruins in the abandoned mine pits, and gradually reunited here over the centuries, forming a huge gathering place of desolate people, eventually reaching a population of 100,000, almost comparable to some large towns. Or a small county.

   And because this gathering place was not registered with the Yuanxing Business Association, it didn't even have a name, and it was just called Wuming City.

   But Wuming City has been a holy land in Yuanxinghuang's mind for a long time, and its reputation has spread to other continents.

   There are even people from a distance looking forward to whether they will one day be able to gather the power of thousands of people in the desert like the pioneers and people in the unnamed city to build a city that does not lose to citizens.

   Such a fantasy dream lasted until the disaster of extinction came.

   Those pioneers must have never thought that one day they would replace the abandoned mine pits and become the fertilizer that supports the better "feng shui treasure land" in this area.

   Or, even if they thought about it, they tried without hesitation, but they just failed.

   They may not be the first batch of losers, nor will they be the last.

   In short, decades after the White Bone Valley disaster occurred, the Spark Town named after the Xinghuo Mining District emerged from nearby.

   Renzhong and others parked the modified mine car with enhanced defensive performance on the edge of the abandoned mine pit.

   Renzhong jumped out of the car first and stood in the giant pit looking forward.

   The huge impact came on his face, he only felt magnificent, huge, and spectacular, and an indescribable sense of desolation surged in his heart.

   The huge pit can't be seen at a glance, and it's not bottomless.

There seemed to be a black hole below   , which sucked the light away.

   It is as if a meteorite weighing millions of tons fell from the sky, biting a gap in this planet.

   But it is the mighty power of man, and now it has been restored to its natural appearance by the beast representing nature.

  , following the hemispherical outline, is a winding staircase structure like annual ring winding down, like a terraced field, but also like the back shell of a snail.

  In the form of this deep pit, this place should have turned into a huge lake in the long months of rain.

   But not. The reason is that the cliff surface from top to bottom is filled with countless one-person or several-person-high tunnels.

   The tunnel drained all the water.

   Under the huge pit, there must be a surging underground river.

   The others stood behind Ren Zhong.

   At this time, Ren Zhong and Wen Lei are wearing their own exoskeleton.

  The other four were wearing combat uniforms of varying performance and quality, and wearing custom-made tactical helmets.

  ……

   "Brother Ren, according to the small amount of information I have collected, the distribution of the market beasts in the abandoned mines still has a certain pattern. From top to bottom, the distribution density of the market beasts is not fixed, and the categories are also strange."

"The network of potholes is a kind of limitless beast called the labyrinth bug. It is the most dominant species in the entire abandoned mine pit. It can be found everywhere from top to bottom. The individual strength of the labyrinth bug ranges from one to four. There are different levels. As for other types, there are too many, at least dozens or hundreds of them."

   "If we only move in the first ten levels of stairs, under normal circumstances, we will encounter a large number of second-level and a small number of third-level market beasts. Unless..."

   Heavy responsibilities: "Unless what?"

   Zheng Tian: "Unless we are unlucky, there will be four levels."

   "Well, I see."

   Ren nodded emphatically.

   He actually knew it all in his heart.

  He has mostly read the information Zheng Tian said.

In fact, Zheng Tian’s team is not the only semi-professional team that can attack and win the second-level market beasts in Spark Town, but the reason why the abandoned mine pit has become the second worst place is that only the professional team will come, but the fourth-level market beasts are here. Not so honest, often breaking the rules and appearing in the upper area.

   The semi-professional team has to meet the fourth-level market beast, and has never survived.

   Zheng Tian only said that he was "unlucky", but he was actually conservative. It should be "lucky" to avoid encountering the fourth-level market beast.

"Check the equipment. Focus on checking the performance of the newly installed devices such as night vision, infrared sensors, and ultrasonic reflection projectors, and then prepare to enter the hole. Since we have to enter the pit network, it takes too long to enter and exit each time, so Chen Hanyu You must go in with us. Chen Hanyu has no self-preservation. We must make these details perfect."

   With a big wave of his hand, he announced the official start of today's hunting operation.

   The reaction of everyone under his command was actually different.

   Wen Lei and Ou Youning's faces are slightly ignorantly excited and excited.

   Chen Hanyu did not change his expression.

   Baifeng is the same.

   A touch of doubt on Zheng Tian's face is fleeting.

   But in the end everyone followed Ren Zhong and went deep into the cave.

   Within a few steps, the light suddenly dimmed.

   A simulated picture that is a mixture of information provided by three instruments, night vision, infrared sensor and ultrasonic reflection projector, appears on everyone's helmet cover, creating a simulated picture with almost only color difference from real vision.

   Others feel a little uncomfortable and need to adapt, but feel like going home due to heavy burdens.

   This is seven to eight similar to his visual experience in virtual reality.

"Wen Lei and Bai Feng, you two are responsible for the safety of Chen Hanyu. Ou Youning, you follow me closely, and you should prepare as soon as I tell you to use any bomb. Zheng Tian, ​​you are in the middle, always pay attention to the situation behind, and cover the back and front. You basically don’t care about it."

   While giving orders, he turned on the high-performance geomagnetic sensor and vibration detector separately installed in his exoskeleton.

   Everyone walked hundreds of meters in, and Ren Zhong shouted in the communicator, "Everyone retreat 15 meters!"

   As soon as his voice fell, the other five turned their heads back without hesitation.

  The heavy responsibility drew out the secondary shock dagger and held it in his right hand. With a flick of his left wrist, a small round shield the size of a battery wheel slipped off his arm armor and was grasped in his hand.

   There was a soft buzz.

  The medium engine behind the heavy hurricane was sprayed with a hurricane, and in an instant, he had already appeared in the position where Ou Youning was standing earlier, holding the shock dagger.

   The concussion dagger flashed with cold light and pierced forward.

   Almost at the same time, mud fell suddenly from the wall above the pit, and an iron-skinned earthworm with a diameter of one foot and a length of an unknown number suddenly drilled out.

   This second-level iron-skinned earthworm has a round head and a round brain, and its body has a ring-shaped buckle structure, which resembles the exhaust pipe of a range hood.

   It was originally meandering about the task, but it stabbed the task with a dagger in the forehead.

   The concussion dagger made a chainsaw-like neigh and cut forward.

   Sparks exploded on the iron-skinned earthworm's forehead, and a huge gap was cut abruptly.

   Swipe and pull the dagger down again, tearing a foot-long wound at a very fast speed.

   The iron-skinned earthworm was in pain, and then retracted, as if to flee.

   The left hand holding the shield stubbornly blasted out with heavy fists simultaneously, and even the shield with his fist blasted into the iron worm's head abruptly.

   Dozens of buckled steel cables spread around the shield in a blink of an eye, piercing its body.

   The steel cables were entangled with each other, spreading along the head to the depths of the earthworm body, and they grew out nearly four meters.

   The steel cable shook slightly, barbs protruding from each buckle.

   It was hanged to death.

   stood on both feet with heavy responsibilities, began to use the amplifier to quickly increase the power of the armor, and tried to retreat.

   When the armor output power exceeded 189 kWh, the iron-skinned earthworm began to be ripped out from the top of the pit like an eel.

   Ten seconds later, the iron worm was eight meters long, as if the body of a giant python was completely pulled out.

   Abandon the shield with the left hand and leave.

   held the dagger in his right hand, and ran back again. The dagger in his hand was like a fish-cutting razor along the body of the earthworm.

   Two minutes later.

  Chen Hanyu took out the chip from the middle of the iron worm body and put it into the storage box.

   As for the corpse, no more.

   Everyone got a good start, without surprises and dangers.

  ……

   At noon, a group of people jumped out of the hole on the inner cliff wall of the third spiral of the abandoned mine pit.

   Chen Hanyu jumped first, rolled on the ground and stood firmly again.

   Wen Lei and Bai Feng came afterwards.

   followed by Ou Youning and Zheng Tian.

   Ou Youning was particularly alarmed. When he took off, he tripped his toe on the rock at the entrance of the cave, and rammed the two-meter-high floor with his back on his back.

   This is about to hit, not to mention hanging on the spot, the sprained neck will definitely not run away.

   Fortunately, Wen Lei flashed sideways and gave him a princess hug, which saved this guy from disaster.

   Zheng Tian jumped lightly, and then landed steadily.

   The last thing that came out was heavy responsibilities.

   There are several corroded pits on the surface of his armor, and the shock dagger and steel wire buckler worth 300 points in his hand are long gone.

   "Brother Ren, did you chase that thing out?"

   Zheng Tian asked quickly.

   Ren Zhong shook his head, "No. Go, let's go back first."

  As we walked on the road, everyone counted the gains.

   only one morning, a total of 27 second-level chips and 9 third-level chips were obtained, which was a burst of fertilizer.

   But it's not all good.

   often walks by the river, sure enough to get wet shoes.

   Ten minutes ago, everyone suddenly encountered a fourth-level market beast in the depths of the pit, named Crystalized Pangolin.

   This thing is small in size, only one person tall, but it has excellent offensive and defensive capabilities, and its strength is strong. It feeds on common ants, second-level beasts, copper-molybdenum ant colonies, and iron worms.

   In addition to its almost indestructible scales, it also has a five-meter long tongue after spitting out, and there is a very corrosive mucus on the tip of the tongue.

   Everyone immediately started to flee.

   is still left behind, and the rest go first.

   Everyone fleeed all the way, almost escaping from the entrance of the cave and seeing the sun again, the crystalized pangolin finally gave up the prey in front of him and hurried back.

   It's okay to have heavy responsibilities, but the others are already a little frightened.

   Although it is still early, due to the damage to the heavy equipment, he can only return to the town first.

   On the way back, Zheng Tian tentatively suggested: "Our harvest today is already very good, why don't we... come back tomorrow?"

Ren Zhong shook his head, "No, my armor only needs to be replaced with the outer layer of armor. It will be repaired quickly. We will find Ju Qingmeng to buy new equipment and rest. You also remember to add ammunition supplies. This time I will get a few more pieces. For the matching, prepare some new things, and then come back to look for the trouble of crystallization of pangolin~www.NovelMTL.com~?" Zheng Tian was shocked, "No! That is the fourth-level market beast! We can escape as long as we can. Not bad. This...Is this coming?"

Ren Zhong smiled, "When I used to work, my thinking was like this. I rushed my head, and stopped when I hit the wall, touched my forehead to see how painful the impact was and what kind of scars I left. Then I Then, based on the scars on my body, I can figure out what the difficulty looks like. Knowing what it looks like, I can find a way to overcome it when I look back. The truth is the same for everything in the world. Nothing can be killed at the first contact. My market beasts will eventually become my prey."

   He added another sentence in his heart.

   In fact, the market beast that killed me the first time I came into contact, eventually became my prey.

   Zheng Tian: "Huh?"

Ou Youning swallowed, struggling, "Brother, I know you have a lot of ideas. But even if we destroy the crystal pangolin, the price of the forcibly removed chip will be great? It's a waste. Why don't we wait for us to accumulate a little more." Strength? Well, what did you say, brother, build a wall, build a wall, and become king."

   shook his head heavily, "You look down on Chen Hanyu."

   said, he patted the front co-pilot Chen Hanyu on the shoulder, "You can do it, right?"

   Chen Hanyu blushed and lowered his head, "I...I will try my best. But there is still hope for a perfect dismantling."
