"However, not all of her team left. A few people stayed in the camp to strengthen their spiritual power. So, they didn't fly aircraft, but instead used airships."
Xia Chujian understood: "It must be her and her comrades who came here from Starfleet, right?"
Zong Ruoning nodded: "That should be it."
Xia Chujian said, "Last night, neither Qiu Zijun nor Qiu Zining's teams came back."
"So what are we going to do today?"
She looked at the Major Jing Yu Shi.
Jing Yushi said: "I am contacting Master Chao, but there is no response yet."
Xia Chujian knew that Huo Yushen had another mission and didn't know where he was now. He was probably very far away and it would take some time for her to get in touch with him.
She thought deeply and said, "What should we do then? Just wait?"
Jing Yu looked at Zong Ruoning and suggested, "Why don't we all go out mining during the day and come back at night and gather here? What do you think, Commissioner Zong?"
Zong Ruoning said, "I'm fine. I'm going out anyway. But you guys have to be careful around classmate Xia."
He hesitated for a moment, then suggested, "My aircraft is quite spacious. How about you, Xia, take your team and go out with us?"
"You can mine, but we will never take the materials you collect."
Xia Chujian smiled: "Teacher Zong, of course I believe you won't take our supplies."
"But you have your own things to do, so we won't bother you."
"I'm just hanging out with my teammates."
"I went east yesterday and west today."
Seeing that she had an idea, Zong Ruoning and Jing Yushi stopped trying to persuade her and said, "Be careful and come back early tonight."
…
Xia Chujian returned to his aircraft and said to his teammates who were already waiting there, "That camp is still dangerous. We can't go in for the time being."
"The military is contacting Master Chao."
"When Master Chao comes back, we have two sets of second-generation mechas and can go in and investigate the situation."
Mai Aotuo, who had followed her back, looked out the window at the empty camp and said in disbelief, "I can't believe it! That place looked normal. How come there was such a terrifying white light as soon as I entered?!"
"It looks like it wants to eat people!"
Xia Chujian's heart moved, thinking of the dark green fog that once "ate people", and suspected that they were similar things.
It is indeed not safe for her to go on the adventure alone.
Besides, if she really summoned that big guy, she might be able to escape, but her teammates, those soldiers, and Zong Ruoning and his men, none of them would be able to escape.
So Xia Chujian decided not to provoke the existence behind the white light anymore.
After discussing with his teammates, Xia Chujian informed the exploration robot Xiaofei: "We are going to the west to mine today. You will still drive the airship, and I will drive the aircraft."
Xiao Fei said, "Okay, Captain, what time do we leave?"
Xia Chujian looked at the time. It was almost nine o'clock. She said, "Nine o'clock then."
Xiaofei left the aircraft and came to the floating airship.
By the time it was ready for takeoff, it was exactly nine o'clock.
This time, they flew west to explore whether there were any mineral deposits along the western route.
One after another, the airships and aircraft parked in the valley took off and left this place.
They were going in all directions, and some of them were heading west like Xia Chujian.
But there are many latitudes in the west, and we are not on the same route.
In this way, Xia Chujian took the team members and wandered outside for a whole day.
The further west you go, the hotter the air becomes.
The scorched earth has all turned into coal crystals. Not to mention special metals and exotic metals, even a little bit of conventional metals is rare.
Qi Lu wrote on Xia Chujian's eyepiece display screen.
[Qi Lu]: Master, there are no metal deposits in this area, which is very strange.
Xia Chujian put on a fully enclosed helmet and talked to it.
"Why is it strange?"
Qilu said: "Based on the geological environment that Qilu has detected, this continent should have a lot of special metals or exotic metals."
Xia Chujian was curious: "Then why can't we find anything?"
Qi Lu said, "That's why it's so strange. This situation shouldn't have happened, but it did. There must be something wrong."
"Master, think about it. Yesterday, you were able to find a gold mine of pure gold. Although it is relatively small, a mosquito is still meat no matter how small it is!"
Xia Chujian's mouth twitched: "Qilu, you are getting carried away... In your eyes, a gold mine is just a mosquito's flesh."
Qi Lu said, "It's just a metaphor. Master, please don't pay attention to these details."
Xia Chujian curled his lips and said, "Yesterday's situation was special. It can't be considered a normal mineral deposit, so it doesn't count."
Qi Lu's childish voice was a bit helpless as he said, "Well, that means the east and west sides we visited have problems, and they're both very strange."
They searched all day today, and when they returned to the new camp next to the col where they had been yesterday, it was almost dark.
As soon as Xia Chujian came back, he exchanged information with Zong Ruoning and the military major Jing Yushi and others, and found that no one had gained anything today.
You have to know that there are so many of them, and they are all going in different directions.
Why didn’t I get anything?
As she fell into a deep sleep, she was still wondering, why?
This shouldn't be the case...
Where have all the metal deposits here gone?
