Qiu Zining's eyes lit up, and she pointed to the south and said excitedly, "Sister! Look over there! They're all gems! Right? Could there be a gold mine?!"
She and Qiu Zijun both knew that the value of gems was far less than that of a gold mine.
Qiu Zijun slowly shook her head and said, "...I don't know. I just got here too."
Then she said sharply, "Zining, you can't act recklessly anymore... I think this place is extremely dangerous..."
Qiu Zining snorted softly, but did not refute Qiu Zijun's words. She just said, "Sister, my aircraft is broken and there is no one to repair it for the time being."
"Can I live with you?"
Qiu Zijun felt annoyed, but she still said patiently, "Why is your aircraft broken? Wasn't it working fine when we were at the camp just now?"
Qiu Zining said: "Yeah! I don't know what happened! It was fine when I came here, but it broke down as soon as I got here..."
"Oh, and..." Qiu Zining came close to Qiu Zijun and said mysteriously, "Sister, that Xia Chujian seems to be injured and is being treated in the medical cabin of Master Zong's aircraft..."
Qiu Zijun's heart tightened, and she hurriedly asked, "Is she injured? Is it serious?"
"Where is Young Master Zong's aircraft? How did you know?"
Qiu Zining sighed and said, "When you got out of your airship just now, didn't you look around?"
"It's in that aircraft at the side of the underground hall. It looks low-key, but it's actually a top-of-the-line luxury aircraft."
Qiu Zijun said perceptively, "Did you go and see it?"
Qiu Zining curled her lips and said, "I'm going there, and I want to ask Master Zong if I can stay at his place for a few days."
"He would rather take in that lowly Xia Chujian than help me."
Qiu Zijun said sternly, "Chu Jian is not a pariah! I don't allow you to say that about her!"
Then she said as if she had made up her mind, "I live with my classmates in my aircraft too. I don't have any extra room for you."
"Why don't you go find Commander Tan Tai and ask him to find a solution for you."
After saying that, Qiu Zijun ran towards where the tents were.
Because she had already seen the classmates and teachers she knew there.
She ran over, found her classmates, and asked excitedly, "What happened?! We were away for a few days, and when we came back to camp, you were all gone!"
More than half of her classmates stayed behind to consolidate the results of their mental strength improvement, and were therefore swept away by the white light overnight.
At this time, her classmates all cried out: "Captain Qiu, you don't know, those guys are so hateful!"
"They captured us and brought us here to mine for them! You know what?! I actually worked as a miner for several days!"
"Look at my hands! Are they still human hands?! These black stains, I think I need to scrape off a layer of skin to wash them clean!"
Qiu Zijun found it extremely unbelievable when listening to their crying.
She listened quietly, and finally said, "Those mountains of mineral deposits over there, are they what you dug these days?"
The students shook their heads and said, "We've only been digging for a few days. How could there be so much? Only a small part of it was dug by us."
"The rest are already here."
"On the first night we arrived, we were also shocked by the mountains of minerals and gems here."
"Then I was driven underground to mine..."
"These relicts are abominable! They don't even give us food!"
…
Just as everyone was discussing what happened after the separation that day, Tan Tai Raoming and Hui Gu also held a meeting with the teachers who had just arrived and the officers of the Star Exploration Force.
When Tan Tai Rao Ming learned that the people at the old camp hadn't found any mineral deposits in the past few days, he gasped and said, "Could it be because the rare mineral deposits can only be found here after passing through that white light gate?"
Major Jing Yushi of the Star Exploration Force said, "Judging from the current situation, it's very likely."
Tan Tai Rao Ming's brows furrowed, and he was about to say something, but Hui Gu winked at him, and he changed the subject, saying, "If that's the case, we really need to discuss this carefully."
Huo Yushen, who had been silent the whole time, said, "Commander-in-Chief Tantai, it's already late today. How are we going to handle the security issues here?"
Tan Tai Raoming said in surprise, "Safety issues? What safety issues? Master Chao, didn't you and Xia Chujian kill all those surviving species?!"
Huo Yushen smiled bitterly and said, "We have indeed wiped out all the remaining species in this circular pit."
"But what if there are others coming from somewhere else?"
"To this day, we still don't know where those relict species came from, and what they are mining so much for."
Hui Gu became nervous and said, "Master Chao, are you worried that there are still some remnants of the tribe who might attack us in the middle of the night?"
Huo Yushen said, "That's probably what they mean. They have the white light gate technology, which is like opening a fixed directional wormhole. It's impossible to defend against it."
In fact, the technology of white light gate is more advanced than wormhole.
Therefore, wormholes are actually passive. If people want to pass through a wormhole, they have to use transportation to fly into the wormhole.
This white light gate even has energy that can directly teleport people or objects back and forth, as if it has mastered the space limit transmission theory that the Beichen Empire is still exploring.
Huo Yushen said: "...The appearance of the white light gate shows that their technology is more advanced than ours."
