From rough rock areas to heavily weathered rock areas, the feeling is still different.
But no matter how it feels, walking in this hot world with your feet feels like you are looking for torture and suffering.
This was the case with Seifer. He was pulling a cart, followed by several people. They were all dressed in the same way, walking silently in the sunshine that would immediately turn them into charcoal barbecues if they dared to expose themselves.
"Ah... it's so hot and uncomfortable. Is the cooling mechanism of my protective suit broken..."
Someone complained like this, and was immediately laughed at by the people behind him: "How is that possible? The temperature inside the clothes is only over 30 degrees. It's normal."
"Then why do we have to travel so long here?"
Seve, who was walking at the front, turned around and saw several shiny silver guys shining brightly in the sun.
...Then, how else can I still drive to mine?
Pulling the hanger on his clothes, Seifer said, "If you really don't want to move on, then you can go back. Anyway, I'm the only one who wants to buy some minerals."
"What did you say! Sister told us to help, so we must help to the end!"
"That's right, it was you who came to save lives a few days ago, so we brothers didn't turn into barbecued meats!"
...So you are among that group of prisoners.
After reacting belatedly, Cypher shook his head and continued to move forward in silence.
The location of the mine was very tricky. Its entrance was widened and a bunch of tracks were installed, and the outside was smoothed. The planned area on the ground was filled with ores and stone bricks, and all man-made shelters, etc., were all thrown underground.
To be honest, sometimes Cypher wants to wonder if the people in this world are called underground people, but they have no plans to make small domes and settle on the ground.
Those ores...
The howling wind blows through the ground that rarely has hard rocks, carrying the sand to distant places, and the sand scraped against the ores can even make them glow a little bit.
It's just that in the sunlight, you can't see very clearly.
The iron-gray stones were mottled with jade-like spots. The minerals placed at the door seemed to have a lot of impurities, so that when Seif asked about them, everyone was not interested.
"It's just so so... This kind of purification is also very troublesome. I guess it's troublesome to keep it lying in the mine when digging, so I might as well dig it out and throw it away."
Someone explained it this way, and Cypher believed it.
"Red Crossbow Arrow, don't listen to their nonsense. These low-density ores can be used to make components of relatively simple energy-consuming tools. Just throw them away after they are used up."
Laika's voice was as calm as ever: "Before you buy the ore, remember to send me the picture, and I will try my best to help you identify the valuable parts."
Do you still do this?
If he participates in the stone gambling, the two of them will probably have enough food and clothing in the future.
The group of people took the elevator down, which was large enough to lift the mine cart. When they reached the underground fortification level, representatives of the miners immediately came over to welcome them.
"You are also mercenaries who came here to buy ore after seeing the advertisement, right?"
He was wearing stained underground work clothes, and the reflective slats were a bit poor, but he didn't care: "There's no need to say more. I still have several orders of business to do here. Come here and here. Come."
After piling up the cargo trucks at the door, the group walked through the twists and turns of the road. They even passed through some deep and cold mine areas and saw gravel being turned into powder under the working machinery and being hoisted to high places.
Then, the other party took them directly to the mineral storage area for sale.
"Please review the terms for the sale of minerals here. The minerals that can be taken away immediately include these..."
Seve raised his eyes and saw that what was placed in the goods storage area were all cut into rectangular cubes. Each piece had a very familiar length and width, a light blue ore that glowed grayly under the light.
Compared with the mottled ore bodies outside, these are obviously of much higher quality. But in the communication, Laika said while comparing the scan waveforms he sent, these are just appearances.
The appearance of the ore after it is truly refined will be even more beautiful, and it is difficult to describe it in words... In short, these ores look large in quantity, but in reality once they start to be refined, the consumption is also very large.
Absorbing this knowledge, Seifer's bargaining process became smoother. Perhaps it was due to his previous habit of asking for money to talk things over. Even though the miners' representatives were quite shrewd, they had to make various concessions.
The transaction price between the two parties was about the same as the price of fast food for the boys who came to load the mines.
The miner's representative shrugged and asked the workers who were resting around him to come over and divide the mineral parts that could be taken away for Seifer, and then said that if their car body was willing to circle here at night, it could carry more.
On the surface, Seifer said it was not going well, but in his heart he knew that he had already spent more than seventy-seven percent of the money he had just earned from selling the parts of his previous car.
More? Can't buy it!
The transaction went smoothly, and Seve even had an unreal feeling.
How should I put it... After staying in this place for so long, Seve has become accustomed to being prepared for the possibility of accidents in everything.
But the life in Furnace Node City was very ordinary, as if those bad things were far away from me - while thinking this way, there was a roar not far away that penetrated the entire cave, as if the support beams overhead were about to collapse. .
"What, what's going on?!"
“Did any of the mines collapse?!”
The surrounding workers were in chaos, and Seve immediately held down his gun vigilantly, letting the younger brothers who came with him disperse and hide behind the mine pile.
Because just now, the communication with Laika, who was constantly talking about the advantages and disadvantages of the ore, was suddenly interrupted!
Even when it comes to interrupting communication...it's really prepared.
The miner's representative quickly reminded Seifer that there was not only one exit to the mine, so there was no need to stand in a place like this. There was even an armed force of the mine defense team behind it.
The more you swear so confidently that there is no problem, the more dangerous it becomes. Doesn’t this miner representative even understand this?
Continuous gunshots were heard from the front, and the defense team that was organizing resistance on the outside retreated step by step. The moment they were hit by the continuous firepower and scurried away to hide in the storage area, Seifer saw several dark bullets. Things were thrown into the mine.
Flashbang.
'boom! '
Everyone present, even if they did not see the flash bomb, the loud noise was like a giant hammer hitting everyone, causing those who were still standing to stagger.
The weaker ones had already collapsed with retching, and even the stronger ones covered their ears and screamed - except for Cypher, whose audio system was automatically temporarily shut down.
Only the auditory hallucination of 'buzz...' remained. At the same time, he had already picked up the gun and pulled the trigger.
Several strange-shaped projectiles that were subsequently thrown into the warehouse came in in a parabola, but their trajectory was stopped instantly.
Several bullets accurately hit the target in the air. Before it bounced high and exploded, it flew back at a faster speed and at a calculated angle.
'Boom boom——'
There was a series of panic and shouting in the passage... blocked by the roar of the grenade explosion.
Auto-aim is sparsely common, ladies!
Cypher walked out of the bunker without hesitation, holding his unused gun in one hand, not caring that this arrogant way of walking was simply courting death.
——Enemies that can pass through narrow passages must only carry individual weapons. And individual weapons, unless it is a particle beam generator or a more powerful energy weapon that is attached and wielded, will it only cause damage?
It's easy to fight off Cypher, but trying to defeat him... is thinking too much.
