Chapter 886 Surprise or Not (First Update)

Xia Chujian looked over subconsciously.

Those people were indeed the students and teachers who stayed in the camp at that time and planned to consolidate their newly upgraded spiritual power.

There should be most of the soldiers from the Starry Sky Expedition Force, but they haven't been seen yet.

Because there are still people coming out of those caves one after another.

Xia Chujian and Huo Yushen waited for work and stood guard right in front of the cave entrances.

When one of those conventional mechas came out, one would chop and the other would shoot. They cooperated very well.

By the time those people came out of the cave, Xia Chujian and Huo Yushen had killed all the remaining species in more than two hundred conventional mechas.

Obviously, these two hundred or so conventional mechas mainly guard more than two thousand "prisoners".

Huo Yushen was still on guard at the entrance of the cave ahead. Here, a classmate who was familiar with Xia Chujian had gotten up from the ground and rushed over to her to cry.

"First meeting! First meeting! Is it you! Is it really you?!"

The first one to run over was Tao Pao.

She was already running faster than others, but now she had just experienced a life-and-death experience. She was so excited that she ran even faster.

She ran over and hugged Xia Chujian's arm.

Because Xia Chujian was now in the form of a two-meter-tall mecha, and Tao Peng was only 1.7 meters tall at most, he had no choice but to hold her arm.

Xia Chu saw that the muscles and internal organs of his body were seriously injured by the shock, and he had been relying on his firm will to kill the relics.

Being hugged and shaken by Tao Paan, she almost fell to the ground with stars in her eyes.

But she didn't want these people to worry, so she leaned on Tao Pao's shoulder and said with a smile: "Of course it's me, I'm here to save you!"

"Are you moved? Are you surprised?"

Tao Pao was amused by her and laughed and cried, saying, "When we first met, I thought I would never go back..."

"I thought I was going to mine here all my life until I die!"

"Do you know that feeling, how hopeless it is?!"

When Xia Chu saw it, he felt it was incredible and said: "...You are mining here?!"

"Those relics kidnapped you here just to make you work as miners?!"

In the past, when relics appeared, at least hundreds of people would die.

Just the few times he appeared in Mulan City on Guiyuan Planet, thousands of people died!

But now they have kidnapped more than 2,000 people and just made them work as miners?

Is there such a compassionate and financially savvy relic? !

Xia Chujian didn't say this out loud, she just complained in her heart.

Of course, Tao Pao couldn't hear Xia Chujian's thoughts. She just nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes! These relics are so abominable!"

"When I think about the possibility of digging mines for the rest of my life, I feel that life is worse than death!"

"It's better to bite me to death from the beginning!"

Xia Chujian's mouth twitched and said, "It's better to live. Of those killed by the relics, which one will die with dignity?"

Tao Pao was diverted by Xia Chujian's words and asked curiously: "Huh? Have you seen many people killed by the relics? Otherwise, how would you know that they died in an dishonorable way?"

Xia Chujian said: "I've seen some gossips on the Internet, don't you read these gossips?"

Tao Pao shook his head: "When I go online, I just watch short videos and read online articles. I don't have time to read gossip."

Xia Chujian clicked his tongue and said, "How is your health? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Where is your aircraft?"

Tao Pao said quickly: "I'm in good health, but I'm tired. I haven't been able to eat well or sleep well these days, and I've lost a lot of weight."

"Our aircraft and airships were all confiscated by these remnant guards. We don't know where they are."

They were missing for four or five days and worked very intensively. Coupled with not eating well or sleeping well, they did lose weight quickly.

Xia Chujian comforted her and said, "As long as everything is fine, think about those classmates who lost their lives. Not only are you alive, but you have also lost weight. Doesn't it feel better?"

Tao Pao thought about it for a while and said gloomily: "No... I can't bear the thought of so many classmates dying like this."

Xia Chujian: "..."

Unexpectedly, Tao Pao was really a very kind-hearted girl.

She was now glad that he had saved her.

Xia Chujian said: "Then help maintain order. I'll go find your aircraft, where are the supplies and equipment we collected."

Tao Pao let go of her arm: "Then go ahead, be careful!"

"If...if you encounter a big guy you can't beat, just run away and leave us alone!"

She said to Xia Chujian very seriously, her eyes were clear and bright, and it was obvious that these words were spoken from her heart.

Xia Chujian smiled: "It's okay, don't worry."

With that said, she drove Shao Siming's black silver mecha to chase Huo Yushen's back into a mine tunnel.

There are several passages here, but no one has gone out.

Everyone who was mining inside should have come out.

They also killed the relic mechas that were guarding their mining.

I don't know if there are any big guys from the remnant species deep in the mine.

Xia Chujian quickly came to Huo Yushen.

Huo Yushen stood at the end of a mine tunnel, looking at the almost hollowed-out place, wondering what he was thinking.

Xia Chujian talked to him through the mecha's built-in communication system.

"Master Chao, what's going on here?"

"Why do those relics kidnap our people to mine?"

"Were those people 19 years ago also kidnapped and brought here to mine?"

"Is this the unknown danger they suddenly encountered?"

Xia Chujian was bombarded with questions, and Huo Yushen didn't know where to start from.

Moreover, he didn't know the answers to these questions.

Huo Yushen shook his head and said, "None of this is important."

Xia Chujian said: "Then what's important?"

Huo Yushen said: "The mastermind behind this has not been found yet."

Xia Chujian thought it right.

What they just dealt with was obviously the remnants of the minions.

It's just the presence of conventional mechas that makes them harder to fight than the "streaking" relics.

But they are obviously not the real big bosses behind the scenes.

Xia Chujian sighed and said, "It depends on your efforts. I can't find the mastermind behind this."

"I just want to know now, can the aircraft we brought, as well as the weapons and equipment, collected materials and food in the aircraft be recovered?"

Huo Yushen said: "This is indeed more important. Let's ask those people first."

Xia Chujian and Huo Yushen came out of the mine and found that the dark "miners" who came out of the mine just now had at least wiped their faces so that they could see who was who.

They were all gathered in an open space on the other side of the tent area, watching people talking on a high platform in the open space.

Xia Chujian narrowed his eyes.

She saw through the mecha's eyepiece that the man was Tantai Raoming.

The person next to him is the deputy commander-in-chief Gu Gu.

Tantai Rao Mingzheng said excitedly: "Students! Teachers! And the soldiers of our starry sky exploration force!"

"We finally waited for rescue!"

"I said, we can't give up hope!"

"Isn't this the end of all hardships?!"

"Now, those hateful remnant guards have been beaten to death by our people!"

"We need to take action and occupy the entire mining area!"

"All the mineral deposits and gems here belong to us!"

"We want to take back our aircraft, airships, and all the stolen supplies!"

Tantai Raoming waved his arms excitedly, his face turned red as he spoke.

But there was no reaction from the people in the audience.

A student said: "Commander Tantai, can you find something to eat now?"

"I still ate a little bit last night, and now I'm so hungry that I almost passed out!"

Then a bunch of voices echoed him.

"Yes, yes! I'm so hungry!"

"With such high-intensity labor, you only get one meal a day, and it's the kind of plant tubers that come from nowhere! - It's just like pig food!"

"I still want to drink water!"

"I just took a sip of water in two days!"

"I'm dying of thirst!"

"I want to take advanced nutrient solution!"

Xia Chujian sighed, glanced at Huo Yushen next to him, and said, "Master Chao, do you have any clues?"

"Where are our equipment and material reserves?"

Huo Yushen said nothing. He looked up at the darkened night sky and said, "Don't you think it's a little strange? - Those aircraft that chased them out haven't come back yet?"

Xia Chujian's heart sank and he said, "I feel it now."

She had completely forgotten about the aircraft that were chasing them!

Huo Yushen said: "Go up and have a look!"

He drove the big commander's flowing golden mecha to rise up quickly and fly into the night sky.

Xia Chujian followed and rushed out of the large circular pit.

The two of them flew all the way up, flying at the terrifying speed of the second-generation mecha for nearly fifteen minutes.

This altitude is very high, almost reaching the atmosphere.

And when they flew out of the large circular pit and looked down, they couldn't help but be even more shocked.

Because on the land beneath their feet, there are many, many large circular pits like this...

Looking at it, this place is simply an "ocean" of large circular pits!

Xia Chu was stunned and couldn't help but become nervous: "Master Chao, is the land here so big?!"

"How far is the place we came from from here?!"

She remembered that when they came, they passed through a white circular light door.

Huo Yushen said that it should be a very advanced directional wormhole.

Xia Chujian was worried: "We're not on the Green Star anymore, are we?"

Huo Yushen said sternly: "What are you thinking about? The energy of that white light gate is not that high, and it will not transport you out of the Green Star."

Xia Chujian was relieved.

She simply thought that she was still in the aircraft over there, with a suitcase of natural pure gold!

"But how do we get back?"

Huo Yushen said: "Let's see if we can find the aircraft and airship that were brought over."

"There's also the big circular pit over there. Let's go see what's going on first."

"Invisibility."

Xia Chujian and Huo Yushen entered the invisible state at the same time, and then flew to the large ring-shaped pits next to them.

This is the first update. There will be a second update at five past twelve noon.
