The capture of these invaders was very smooth. Those people never thought that an Astartes... cough, independent mercenary would suddenly appear among a group of weak miners and defense forces.
He is no ordinary independent mercenary, his tactical literacy and personal protection are top notch!
It is impossible to defeat the opponent with such a pile of rags in hand. Our army is defeated!
This kind of thinking spreads like a virus, and the enemies pouring into the passage begin to retreat... Although it sounds unscientific, think about it.
No matter how much firepower you and your teammates use, it's impossible to penetrate the opponent's defense, but that 'guy' can leisurely aim at anyone who appears in his shooting range.
Even if it is just a helmet, even if it is just a hand or any part of the body, as long as it is exposed, it will be immediately penetrated by firepower that can tear limbs apart!
Under this kind of psychological pressure, more and more people collapsed, but Seve couldn't be happy.
Without him, after the other party escaped, not only did they blow up some of the mines, but they even blocked the elevator used to go up - the rope used by these bastards.
If you follow their ropes and go up, as soon as these people cut the ropes, you will have to fall down the mine shaft of unknown depth... Although you won't die, you will have to run back again.
That's no different than losing.
So Seifer did not pursue it further. After confirming that the corpses were indeed corpses, he picked one with relatively high-end clothes and dragged it back. When he returned to the warehouse, he saw many miners hiding here and talking about it.
Many wounded people were dragged up, and their condition was not very good. And there was still silence in the communication.
"These wounded..."
"You're back - what about those guys who raided the mine?"
Another person who looked like he was in charge ran over with a crooked helmet: "Independence, independent mercenary, are you..."
"Red Crossbow, let's not talk about that. Where did these wounded people come from?"
"In the underground mining area, those damn defense teams are eating the shit out of them..."
Cypher looked at the time and saw that the man had been cursing for a full two minutes since he spoke.
Seeing that the time was almost up, he asked the reason in detail and felt that people in this world were too unstable. How could they rebel so quickly?
The other party's plan is actually very simple. They capture the entire mine during the day and then transport the high-quality minerals produced out.
Anyway, no mercenaries accepted the commission to defend the mine. As long as they instigated the defense team to rebel, wouldn't it be no problem?
Replacing the empty magazine... I didn't bring much with me when I came here, so this is a big problem.
It's not that these things in the mine cannot be used, but obviously they haven't equipped themselves with many good weapons. From what Seve can see now, there are none of the powerful weapons that mercenaries like to use.
There are even only some mining detonators, impact drills and powered mine carts. The real weapons are all on the defense team.
Cypher was a little confused. Did all the defense teams betray?
The man said angrily: "That's right! These people are eating inside and outside. They only need to squat under the mine to clean up worms or pirates outside and other things that disturb the autumn wind. They are not satisfied yet!"
"So when did they become vaguely treacherous? I mean, it felt like their attitude changed."
The person in charge thought carefully and then said: "About three months ago, the boss temporarily lowered the salary of the defense team because the funds were not flowing smoothly?"
Cypher was silent for a moment.
Then decided not to discuss the topic again.
He asked Tien to let the technical boys he brought... The boys set up defenses in the area where the main entrance entered. These people were very agile. They quickly stacked the ore bricks to form a thick brick wall for defense.
The work done well in adapting measures to local conditions is impressive.
More and more miners are coming here. Although they are injured, no one is said to be dead - the defense team is not willing to hurt the workers.
I just want to disgust the so-called big boss, and then run away directly with the large amount of minerals produced during this period, find a place to sell the stolen goods, and live a living.
Those strange pirates who rushed in from the front should not be from the same group... Saifu repeatedly checked the man he dragged in, and it turned out that he was wearing a card of all nations, but he didn't know which force he belonged to.
"Anyway... in short, mercenary. The big boss said that when the mine encounters a crisis, you can submit a commission. Although the communication is currently interrupted..."
"Well, I'll accept this commission. But you have to give me the map of the mine."
Cypher put on a backpack of detonators and hung a weapon used by these people on the backpack.
The door leading to the depths was opened a crack, and Seve walked down with a wired walkie-talkie and a communication line hanging on his waist.
It is said that when you reach a communication point, you should connect the line there, so that the top can know what is happening below - the rock formations hinder wireless communication, which is normal.
The door behind him closed with a bang, and Seve walked in the sloping passage that was not actually narrow, and even the independently powered miner's lamp was quite bright. He felt that there seemed to be some strange echo in his ears.
It is said that workers who have been under the mine for a long time will suffer continuous mental interference due to these energy-containing ores, causing hallucinations and auditory hallucinations.
Considering that strange phenomena may even be born in these huge energy fields, individual biological disorders are indeed not a problem.
Walking underground where sounds could be vaguely heard, Seve looked at the map and the real-time calculated location markers, and suddenly ran wildly.
——This mine has more than one entrance and exit. In addition to the main road, there are also some branch routes, and these branch roads are connected to different mines.
In other words, maybe when I was moving forward cautiously, the 'rebels' in the defense team had already run away with a large amount of high-purity minerals!
Sprinting with big strides, the sound of 'clang, clang, clang' footsteps passed through a communication point built as a communication point, and he paused slightly. He hung the cable in the designated area, and then continued sprinting.
From top to bottom, the fixed-structure mining area rushed into the old mining area. There was no time to sigh at the unmined minerals dotted in the large underground cavity. Seph rushed into the new mining area and finally heard the sound of someone complaining.
Before they had time to evacuate, several defense teams who took time to load the truck were complaining loudly to the mine owner. The implication was that they must kill that person if they had the chance.
The resentment was quite strong, so Seve took off the wired communication device from his waist and squatted in the corner to listen silently.
"It's almost finished...I'm exhausted. Is this the last one?"
"You're just complaining. After we finish this job, our brothers will just..."
The sound of machinery running made the conversation less clear. After listening for a while, Seve planned to stick his head out and take a direct look - just as he stepped out, two meters in front of him, a man wearing a defense uniform was holding a few pieces. Brick' just look this way.
I'm just afraid of hitting the bullet hole with my head exposed.
Then immediately give up your previous ideas, muster up the courage, and get on it!
Several people who were carrying and chatting suddenly heard a scream. Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and saw a shining silver mercenary rushing over with his teammates in one hand!
Before they could react, the mercenary swung his hand and his companion hit the forklift's cockpit glass like a rag. He let out a brief scream and then fell silent.
"What are you... Poof!"
A powerful and heavy punch hit the man in the stomach. He curled up on the ground and trembled on the spot. The remaining people quickly picked up their weapons, but were horrified to find that the mercenary's movements were incredibly sharp.
As soon as he pulled the trigger, another person was hit in the face with a fist. Finally, the two opened fire, but there were only a few "ding-ding" sounds when they hit each other.
The bullets did nothing, and the man stretched out his hands to grab their guns. In the horrified eyes of the two men, the weapons quickly turned into a meaningless pile of scrap metal.
"Alas--"
"Don't scream. Be quiet. I'll ask you a few questions. Just answer them."
Especially the emotionless, mechanically synthesized voice is really terrifying!
