Everyone boarded the military transport vehicle heading to the Celestial Blue Crystal mine. A few hours later, they arrived at the mine area.
Although it wasn't a large base like the one the Army was stationed at, in order to ensure the livelihood of the miners and guards, as well as to guard against possible sneak attacks from the Blade Demons, there were still many high-strength alloy buildings covering the mine, establishing a small mine base.
Lu Ze and the others sat in the military transport vehicle, looking at the faint shadows emerging from the yellow sand in the distance as they listened to the veteran's explanation.
In the mine, every once in a while, the miners and guards would take shifts, and then they could return to the Army base to rest.
There were still a few days before the new shift, but an unknown Direbeast's nest had been dug out in the depths of the mine, and even a part of the mine had collapsed, so the veterans had to go over in advance to help deal with it.
Following the veteran's explanation, the military transport vehicle continued to approach the small mine base, and the entire small mine base gradually became clearer in the yellow sand.
Everyone could see that the base was surrounded by a ten-meter-tall alloy wall, and there were various energy cannons installed at intervals along the outer wall, and there were several groups of soldiers patrolling back and forth.
Like the Army's large base, the small mine base also had a protective shield. The light blue shield was like an eggshell, enveloping the entire mine base.
The military transport vehicle arrived at the entrance of the mine base, and after being checked by the guards, the military transport vehicle entered the mine base.
After entering the base, Lu Ze and the others opened their eyes wide, looking at everything outside the car window.
There were all kinds of tall mining equipment, smelting equipment, energy furnaces emitting blazing heat, mining vehicles transporting light blue crystal ores back and forth, busy miners, and groups of patrolling soldiers.
The entire mine base exuded a strong sense of vitality.
The veteran saw that everyone was looking at the scene in the mine with some surprise, and he grinned, somewhat proudly saying, "This Celestial Blue Crystal mine is one of the largest mines on the 25th planet, and the reserves of Celestial Blue Crystal in this area are quite rich. Back then, in order to compete with the Blade Demons for this mine, we paid a hefty price."
Then, he chuckled, "But in the end, this mine still belongs to us!"
Lu Ze smiled at the proud veteran and said, "Uncle Joseph, you must have had a fierce battle back then, right?"
"Isn't that obvious? But even four captains came, and in the end, Captain Marlin was sacrificed. In addition to the low-ranking officers and soldiers like us, there were even more sacrifices. "
At this point, Joseph sighed and touched his face with his rough hands. He smiled and continued, "However, everyone should be mentally prepared. Soldiers can die on the battlefield at any time."
Lu Ze and the others looked at the grinning Joseph with complicated feelings.
The eight of them all came from families within the Federation. Some of them even had good family backgrounds, and there were many powerhouses in their families.
Although they knew that the war at the border was fierce, when they saw and heard this kind of tragic reality in front of them, they still felt a little emotional.
When they were living a comfortable life, there were soldiers dying every moment.
Joseph saw the complicated expressions on everyone's faces and smiled casually. "Second Lieutenant Lu Ze, you don't have to think too much. We all know what we're doing when we join the army. Even if we really die in battle, our families can receive the Federation's pension, and we don't have to worry about food and clothing. It's not unacceptable."
The Federation recruited hot-blooded young people, and there were also people who were born poor and wanted to fight on the battlefield. Most of the new recruits were recruited like this.
After all, the Federation had never treated the relatives of soldiers who died in battle badly.
Joining the army was also a path that many people from poor backgrounds fought for.
The troop transport arrived at the military camp while they were chatting, and everyone got off one after another.
Then, a young soldier walked over and saluted Lu Ze. "Hello, Second Lieutenant Lu Ze! My name is Herman, and I was sent by Captain Mu Han to pick you and your team up! "
Lu Ze nodded at the young soldier. "Hello, Second Soldier Herman, lead the way."
Lu Ze was a little happy now.
A few days ago, Lieutenant Mickey called him a Second Soldier, but in the blink of an eye, he became a Second Lieutenant and could call others Second Soldiers.
No, I can't stand it, I have to put my hands on my hips.
Then, Lu Ze and the others were led by Herman to an office in the military camp.
Captain Mu Han was a middle-aged man with a dignified appearance. When he saw Lu Ze and the others enter, he raised his head and looked at them sternly.
Then, Herman walked out of the office and closed the door. Captain Mu Han stood up from the chair behind the desk.
He rubbed his forehead tiredly and said, "Second Lieutenant Lu Ze, you're finally here."
Because of the sudden situation at the mine, he had been busy for the past few days and felt that his body was hollowed out.
Then, he walked to the sofa and sat down. He pointed at the sofa opposite to Lu Ze and the others. "Sit down and talk."
Lu Ze and the others sat down. Then, Lu Ze asked in confusion, "Is the situation very serious now?"
Hearing this, a trace of worry flashed across Captain Mu Han's brows. He sighed, "It's very serious."
He explained, "There are fifty-four mines in the entire mining area. The deepest mine, No. 45, is more than seventy kilometers long. It was in this mine that a ferocious beast's nest was dug. Then, the ferocious beasts went on a rampage and destroyed the entire mine. Even the nearby mines collapsed, and …"
Captain Mu Han rubbed his forehead in distress. "The beasts even charged out of the mine. The strongest beast that came out was core martial state level seven. I could only chase it back, but I couldn't kill it."
"What's more troublesome is that those beasts are in the underground mines. They might dig to other mines at any time."
Lu Ze frowned.
The beasts that built their lair underground were clearly very good at digging. If they really dug to other mines, it would be bad.
Lu Ze smiled. "So, I'll just go into mine 45 and kill all the beasts, right?"
He wondered what type of beast it was and if it tasted good.
Lu Ze was full of anticipation for the taste of the beasts on this planet after eating a sand eagle.
If he had the chance, he wanted to catch another sand tiger to try.
Hearing Lu Ze's words, Captain Mu Han pulled out a smile. "The news from the military is that 2nd Lieutenant Lu Ze is a young prodigy. Even the prodigy of the Blade Demons was captured. You will definitely become a young duke in the future. If you can go down and clean up the beasts, I'll be at ease. "
Lu Ze scratched his head in embarrassment. "Ahaha … I'm that strong? Thank you for your praise, Captain Mu Han. "
Oh my god! This guy looked old-fashioned and serious, but he was unexpectedly good at praising people. It made him feel a little embarrassed.
Lin Ling on the side saw Lu Ze scratching his head and giggling embarrassedly. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and gently kicked him with her toes.
Captain Mu Han was an officer. Can't this idiot be a little more mature?? Would it kill him to be a little humble??
He's smiling like an idiot!
Ye Mu and the others on the side couldn't help but twitch their mouths. They turned their faces away and didn't seem to know this person.
Seeing Lu Ze admit it so straightforwardly, Captain Mu Han was slightly taken aback, then he laughed. "Hahaha, 2nd Lieutenant Lu Ze is straightforward. I like young people like you!"
Lu Ze heard this, and the smile on his face froze. He showed an awkward but polite smile to Captain Mu Han.
He didn't like middle-aged handsome guys.
Captain Mu Han didn't care about Lu Ze's expression and said with a smile, "Because the beasts in Mine 45 aren't weak, ordinary soldiers will suffer a lot of casualties when they go in. There aren't enough strong people, and they have to lead soldiers to rescue the miners in the collapsed mine, so Mine 45 needs to be cleaned up. 2nd Lieutenant Lu Ze is very strong, so this task is best left to your team."
Lu Ze nodded and smiled. "Leave this to us."
Speaking of this, Captain Mu Han paused slightly and frowned, "However, the No. 45 mine is connected in all directions and has many branches. The entire area covers dozens of kilometers, maybe even hundreds of kilometers. It may be a bit difficult to find."
Lu Ze's mouth twitched.
So big??
How was he going to find it?
Was this the rhythm of a maze game?
At this moment, Lin Ling smiled. "Leave this to me, I can find it."
Everyone was dazed. Lu Ze touched his chin and looked at Lin Ling's smug expression.
This guy's god art improved, right?
Captain Mu Han heard Lin Ling's words and nodded with a smile. "Since you have a way, then I'll leave Mine 45 to you."
Lu Ze smiled. "Of course, this is our mission."
After all, this was the freshman's mission, so they naturally couldn't refuse.
Moreover, the mission didn't seem too difficult.
Then Captain Mu Han stood up and called Herman, who was waiting outside, in. He asked Herman to take them to Mine 45.
After leaving the office, everyone came out of the barracks. The floating car slowly moved on the flat road of the base. The energy furnace emitted a blazing aura, making the air in the base extremely hot.
After passing through several streets, the group finally arrived at the location of Mine No. 45.
The entrance of the mine was surrounded by alloy, and there were various load-bearing pillars inside to prevent it from collapsing. The tunnel inside was about four to five meters in diameter. It looked quite spacious.
There were several teams of soldiers guarding the entrance. After the floating car stopped, Lu Ze and the others got off.
