Chapter 45 Energy Mine

"Captain, it's all our fault. You must never give up on yourself!"

Zuo Zili covered his head and was about to step forward, but he staggered and almost fell to the ground.

When the others saw this, they quickly ran over to support him, worry written all over their faces.

Zuo Zili let go of their hands and kept breathing in and out to calm himself down. Then he looked at the people in front of him and saw that they had returned to their previous state.

Under Zuo Zili's gaze, the people in front of him gradually became serious, and at Zuo Zili's signal, followed him forward.

No one in the entire team spoke except for the sound of forward footsteps. Although the team members were a little puzzled, they looked at Zuo Zili in front of them with a stiff back and knew what to do and didn't say anything.

Although they didn't know what was wrong with the captain, they knew it was something important. So they followed the captain.

The group continued walking along the same route as last night. Everyone in the team noticed that Liu Qingqing was gone, but they also believed that the captain would not hurt the little girl.

They walked all the way to the foot of the mountain, where Zuo Zili finally stopped and pointed at the nearby peak with an extremely strange expression:

"Everyone follow me."

As they spoke, they walked along the mountain for a short distance, and then they saw Liu Qingqing lying beside the mountain and sleeping soundly.

Zuo Zili, who was standing by, widened his eyes when he saw Liu Qingqing like this.

I asked you to guard the mountain here, but you slept so soundly. And you could still sleep even though you knew what was in there.

Liu Qingqing also opened her eyes at this time. It must be said that her child body still needed sleep. She raised her head and looked at the group of people in front of her, rubbed her eyes, and looked sleepy.

"Hmm? You guys are here?"

"My dear aunt, how can you sleep?"

"There's nothing to lose sleep over."

"Inside this mountain...inside this mountain there are..."

However, seeing Liu Qingqing's nonchalant look, Zuo Zili didn't know what to say.

"Okay, let's stop thinking about it and go in!"

Liu Qingqing pointed to a cave dug nearby and looked at everyone.

The others really wanted to ask the purpose of this cave, but Liu Qingqing went in after saying this, and Zuo Zili also went in without saying a word.

The others could only follow them in in a daze. After walking in for less than a minute, they couldn't help but open their eyes wide in shock at the scene in front of them.

All they saw before them was a dark blue world. Everything was blue, and they were wrapped in blue.

“Here…here…”

The others opened their mouths in astonishment, as if they could fit a whole egg in them.

"Wow--"

At this moment, they had only one thought in their minds:

Win win win!!!

No matter how much supplies the other party finds or how many points they exchange, they win.

This is a high-level energy mine. The purity of the energy stone is extremely high, and the energy inside has caused the energy stone to emit a faint blue light.

They continued to walk deeper and deeper, and the ore inside became less and less, and the quality became lower and lower. They stopped at the end, and the front was blocked by rocks, which was probably the end of the energy mine.

"Captain... Captain here..."

The team members were so shocked that they were speechless. Was this the unexpected turn of events?

"Great, we are indeed lucky. The road we chose is the one with more supplies, haha!"

Xin Yue couldn't help but hug Liu Qingqing excitedly, and then kissed her on the cheek.

All this depends on Chenchen. If it weren't for her, they would probably have taken another route and naturally missed this energy mine.

She is indeed their lucky star.

Liu Qingqing also grinned. In fact, according to what they said, the instructor had set a route with more supplies and a route with less supplies, so this route should actually be the one with less supplies. It's just that they didn't detect that there was an energy mine here.

All this is thanks to the fact that in addition to the energy mines, there is also a special metal in this mountain. This metal is also recorded in the book that Xi Chen gave her. It is not only an excellent material for forging mechanical materials, but also has the function of shielding magnetic fields.

It was precisely because of this that the instructors did not discover this energy mine, which allowed them to take advantage of the opportunity.

"But what if we leave and someone else takes over this place?"

A young man inside raised such a question. In fact, although he knew that it was probably groundless worry, he did not rule out such a possibility. After all, their group of people had already discovered it, and it was possible that others would discover it later.

"I'll stay here and help you guard it!"

Liu Qingqing raised her little hand.

Looking at her short stature, others couldn't help but give up the idea.

Looking at this size, none of them want to hire child labor.

As if seeing their hesitation, Liu Qingqing recommended herself again:

"I'm very familiar with this area. I've been here before. If you're worried, you can put up a shielding device outside. Nothing will happen to me."

Everyone looked at Zuo Zili beside them and saw him nod:

"This place was indeed told to me by Chenchen."

After getting Zuo Zili's confirmation, everyone else was surprised. They looked at the little girl in front of them who was not even as tall as their waists. It turned out that this was not the luck given to them by God, but the victory brought to them by this girl in front of them?

Suddenly, everyone else didn't know what to say. They originally thought that they were doing their best to take care of the little girl in front of them, but in the end, it was the little girl who helped them turn the situation around and win the victory.

Liu Qingqing looked at the people in front of her who were in a daze and didn't say a word. She just tilted her head and smiled at them.

These people gave her a very different feeling, different from those in her previous life. This energy mine could be considered a gift to them! Just as a friend.

This was the first time that she recognized these not-so-familiar people as her friends.

In her eyes, Xi Chen was her father, different from everyone else and more important than anyone else. Tu Xiaomeng and Sheng Jinxiu were just pretty, interesting girls she could flirt with, people she could spend her free time with. Zhou Minggao was her subordinate, her vassal. Everyone else was just a dispensable character.

So before today, Liu Qingqing felt that it didn't matter whether they were there or not, as long as her father was by her side, she could live a good life.

Now she suddenly felt that these dispensable characters seemed to be tinged with some color, and everyone became vivid, and these dispensable characters suddenly made her want to make friends.

Liu Qingqing couldn't help but smile and lowered her head. She felt that she might be able to live a better life.

There is no need to think about the meaning of life anymore, because living itself is a meaning.

After accepting Liu Qingqing's idea, the others also agreed. They were now certain to win, and now they needed to go back and report and try to get more rewards for Liu Qingqing.

So they set up a protective shield outside the tunnel to prevent strange beasts from breaking in and causing harm to Liu Qingqing.

Everyone looked back every three steps and was reluctant to leave the little girl. They all thought that this little girl was so good and she was really an ideal sister in the world!

On the other side, Liu Qingqing looked at their receding backs and suddenly a shovel appeared in her hand.

Friends are friends, but that doesn’t stop her from treasure hunting!
