Chapter 188: The Deep Sorrow (56): The Old Mine
New Yuan calendar, August 15, 577.
Cruzd Federation, Extreme Cold Special Zone, Area A (Old Sub-Frost Area), New Camp of "Chaos Group", Old mines.
After resting in the new camp for almost half a month, the physical condition of "Future" and Loka has returned to the same health, strength and strength as before they went to "The Relics of Deep".
In the first few days, "The Future" dreamed of ancient gods leading him into the deep sea, talking to him about many profound philosophical topics that were difficult to understand, or chanting poems composed of language that he could not understand at all.
Later, when "Thunder Page" uses the "construction" ability of the [Prophet" of "Prophet" (another use of the "prophet"), that is, to create illusion space, so that people can frequently experience things that are difficult to reach or cannot be faced in it, thereby increasing the tolerance threshold for mental distress, the mental problems of the "future" are also fully alleviated, and the things seen in the dream no longer bother him.
Now, even in my dreams, I still encounter a scene of "pleasant conversation" with the ancient gods, and the "future" can be dealt with calmly, either understanding difficult topics as much as possible, or trying to transcribe the words recited by the ancient gods in Saint Roma letters, and recording them in a blue notebook, waiting to go to Khitan Ris in the future before deciphering them.
Loka, under the guidance of Victor, continued to conduct physical training, as well as firearm use, weapon basics, fighting skills and assassination training, etc.
Under the arrangement of "Ice Blade", "Lei Page" teaches Loka's occult knowledge, as well as the correct control, absorption and use of magic power. Victor cultivates his combat ability. He hopes that Loka can train Loka as a qualified, responsible, capable, wise and responsible leader of the "Chaos Group" team before the day when "Ice Blade" dies.
The Lost Organization, whether it is the "Order Society", the "Chaos Group", the "Enlightenment Church" or many parts such as the "Stolen Group", their personnel composition is actually very complex.
Some are organizations that originally opposed the old empire, and continue to this day, among which members of the Lost continue to oppose the Federal Council.
More people from a vast field, with almost unsurvivable occupations, are forced to be combined by fate.
Among them were former federal officers, federal warriors, "site hunters" subordinated to independent armed forces, and semi-lost people who were expelled due to the Successor Protection Ordinance, or those who had nowhere to go after the fall of the strongholds, and were unable to be fully accepted by independent armed forces and other federal strongholds because of their identity.
Some of these people are factory members, scholars and professors, mercenaries, wanderers, researchers, even porters, masons, cleaners, and cooks.
Due to the complexity of personnel composition, a saying often circulates in the "chaotic group":
"A general who can't be a cook is not a good soldier."
After August, the climate in the northern border of Cruzd further deteriorated. The "stricken sunshine" that could have been temporarily enjoying the warmth of noon noon noon noon noon noon noon noon noon noon noon noon noon was replaced by continuous snowfall.
With snow covered in silver, standing at a higher place to look at the new camp and the "artificial lake", the lost people will always lose their targets in the white space.
It is too white, or it is full of holy colors that are not consistent with the style of the dark world. The sky, lakes, ice, snow and camps all show the same color, making people feel as if they have escaped into the heavenly palace created by the main body, falling into the eternal, silent and lonely "angel realm".
The clear and faint light had just dispelled the loneliness, coldness and darkness of the long night. "Future" took advantage of the night to arrive at the old mine, near a vertical mine cave built in the old empire to mine rare earth resources.
Turning open the sleeves and enduring the howling wind, "Future" saw that the hour and minute hands under the glass cover of the watch were now in a vertical state, prompting that the current time has come to nine o'clock in the morning.
He beat the mechanical heart full of burning fluid hard, "Future" tried to surging the dark magic power in his body to resist the cold while relying on the burning fluid flowing all over his body to obtain a rare warmth.
In the old days, the mine was not close to the "artificial lake", but like the camp, it was still in a low-lying area. You can see the simple embankment built by the "Chaos Group" and several industrial buildings left over from the old empire period.
However, now, after thousands of years of wind and frost and snow, except for some thick black trunks, the decaying building wreckage here has been completely covered with white, and the hustle and bustle of industrial production in the old days has long disappeared. If it weren't for the recovery of Alto, even the last exhaust chimney with a blazing smoke would not have started.
In a pure and white field, only such a blackness became an embellishment of "out-of-time", which made the "future" that had experienced countless dark nights feel a little lost. Until another moving white field is dotted with darkness, a twisted "scar" was drawn in the white ice and snow world, and stopped in front of the broken and tall statue of the "Machines Lord" he leaned on.
With the roar of the mechanical chariot, "Thunder Page", Loka, Victor and the young-shaped "people" wearing black cloak walked down from the car one by one and came to the "future".
"How long have you been waiting, 'future'?" "Leiye" walked to the "future" with a soft smile, patted his shoulder, giving him a feeling of spring breeze.
"Not much, it's only three or four hours." "The Future" replied with a smile:
"If it weren't for your [construction] ability and the 'Federal No. 5 potion' that helped me stabilize my spirit, I'm afraid I wouldn't have enjoyed the comfortable sleep these days.
"Also, 'Thunder Page', thank you for your 'Sleeping Emblem' for being effective. After I used the magic power to activate it, I fell asleep at 5 or 6 pm yesterday, until 2:30 in the morning. I was really sleepy, so I came here first."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! "You're welcome, 'future'." "Leiye" said, walking behind "future", putting his mouth against his ear, and whispering:
"Whether it is the dead Yinmin or your brother Fengmin who is about to die, they are very concerned about you, the youngest and most suffering 'stealer' in the Order Club. They have given me a commission that if they encounter an accident, I will take care of you and help you until I die.
"In fact, the day before yesterday, the leader of the 'New Life' secretly sent me a telegram, saying that the cooperation between the 'Order Society' and the Federal Council may not last long. Vasily is indeed a selfish existence for humanity. I believe that it will not take long. It will be either the Federal Council is submerged in the sunlight brought by the 'Evolution of the Universal Energy', or we fall under a strong laser weapon that is enough to cut the mechanical heart."
"So, he wants me to go back?" "The Future" speculated.
"Thunder Page" nodded:
"We have lost 'Yinmin', 'Fengmin', 'Fengmin', 'Fengwen' and 'Yanxi', 'Fu Bing' has completely defected to the demon Vasily. If you leave here again and go to Khitan Ris, 'Order will have to merge with the 'Chaos Group' in order to fight the Federation."
"Wait until the war is over, and when the 'Sadness of Deepness' is completely over, 'Thunder Page', I will give you an answer." "Future" whispered.
Hearing the statement of "Future", "Leiye" stopped talking, but instead changed into an excited and slightly playful tone, pulled Loka over and brought it to "Future" and Victor, and said:
"Anotherwise, Victor, Loka, this kid who learns fighting skills and weapons can be easily learned at one point, and learns it well. Why can't I understand a few common financial calculations and our financial data that I taught him for a long time? You must know that it is impossible to manage an organization just by knowing that fighting is impossible. Loka, tell your brother Victor, how much money we have left, and how much supplies can we get from the human base privately?"
"This, there is a new ruble of 300... Can you change a gun?" Loka stammered.
"I'm really a headache." "Leiye" slapped his head a few times and complained:
"There are 300 left? Then we will all starve to death. If this day really comes, I will definitely escape and chew those "unintentional people" and the Federation [warriors] before you.
"Remember, we now have new rubles of cash of 1.25 million yuan, 3718 yuan, 65,000 yuan in new Ducat, all the food, weapons and supplies added up to 3 million new rubles! Remember, the materials added up to 3 million rubles."
"Thunder Page" said, lit up Loka's head.
"It hurts, Aunt Leiye." Loka covered her head and pretended to be innocent.
Seeing that "Thunder Page" was about to get angry because of the words "aunt", Victor hurriedly stood up and pulled "Thunder Page" aside and dissuaded:
"Loka is still young, he is proficient in weapons and fighting, which is enough in the current situation. Why don't we learn the 'Wilderness Tourist Group' to take over abandoned cities? Why do we learn that things are so proficient?"
"Vicot, then I'll ask you." "Thunder Page" turned his head, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and asked Victor:
"According to your logic, so many Cruzed people managed by the Federal Council, it is enough to learn how to hunt 'unintentioned people' and knock us down. Why do you still need to learn the scientific knowledge of the old empire and why do you still need to pay attention to educational investment?"
"This..." Victor blushed by this sentence, and had no choice but to say:
"It's OK if the situation is different."
"Different? You know it too." "Thunder Page" continued to explain:
"The Federal Council's idea cannot end the wasteland era after all, and in the future, we can only rely on our lost people and join forces with more forces to truly eliminate the "unintentional people" and end the war. But we cannot learn from and do not have the ability to learn from Ivan Twenty-second, create a ruin and rebuild the empire.
"We will definitely take over the city in the future, and control more cities, connect them into pieces, compete with the Federation, and achieve the final victory. If, as the leader of the "Chaos Group", even the basic financial knowledge and the number of resources in the camp are unclear, what is the difference between us and those robbers, those "remnants hunters" and "mercenary groups"?
"You must know that Gods will not directly give us knowledge. They will only improve our ability to understand knowledge and information. The specific content needs to be learned by ourselves."
"Thunder Page" said, turning his head to look at Loka again and asked:
"I just taught you yesterday, Loka, what is the relationship between demand and supply? How to understand and calculate marginal returns? Answer me now."
"I... don't know." Although Loka spoke in a squint and timid tone, she was very honest. She just kept looking at the "future" and tried to seek help.
Seeing this, "Leiye" sighed, grabbed Loka's hand, suppressed his anger, and barely kept a smile and said:
"Do you understand when you go back and copy it ten times?"
"Okay... OK."
Seeing that the "Thunder Page" finally finished teaching Roca a lesson, "Victe" standing beside him urged:
"Let's talk about the serious matter first. The leader of the Ice Blade was waiting for us in the mine in the old days. Today, we must start the remaining half of the 'Prayer to the Gods' ceremony. After erasing the existence of the 6 types of 'User Limit' devices, we must embed twelve chips into Alto's brain to initially revive him.
"You also know that 'Thunder Page', whether the mission is smooth today is related to whether we can reverse the unfavorable situation of war. The specific operation of each subsequent step is very complicated and requires extreme caution. Otherwise, the 'Dark Drive Core' in Yato's body will be stimulated and riot, destroying the entire body."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I understand." "Thunder Page" turned around and said to the remaining people:
"Let's go down to the mine first, but it may be a bit difficult. I don't know what scientists like in the old empire thought. The rare earths were dug almost all, so we changed the mine passage to vertically down. We don't have enough manpower and resources to repair the elevator next to us, so we can only climb the ladder."
...
Fortunately, the lost people who entered the mine together were all battle-hardened and strong. Although the process of climbing down like this was very slow and troublesome, since the specific depth of the mine was not yet clear, it was difficult to jump down directly, so they had to climb slowly along the only narrow passage.
About thirty minutes later, several people finally saw the solid concrete floor sprinkled with clear water.
After confirming that they arrived at the platform in the middle of the mine, "Leige" and Victor followed the previous prompts of "Ice Blade" and took a few people along the cement corridor to the giant experimental field where Yato and "Pramini's Axe" were detained.
While walking, "Future" discovered that besides the guardrail on the left side of this corridor, there was a huge vertical cylindrical patio leading to the ground. Unfortunately, the walls were either covered with smooth cement or rusty metal, and there was no place to climb except for a few wire ropes that seemed to be connecting to the elevator.
And the top of this corridor is occupied by winding metal pipes and exposed wires. Only a "weak" electrical lamp is placed at a pitiful position in the middle, emitting a faint dim light.
