Xia Chujian looked over subconsciously.
Those people were indeed the students and teachers who stayed in the camp at that time, intending to consolidate their newly upgraded mental powers.
There should still be most of the soldiers from the Star Exploration Force, but they haven't been seen yet.
Because more and more people came out of those holes.
Xia Chujian and Huo Yushen took advantage of the situation and waited for the opportunity, guarding right in front of the cave entrances.
Whenever those conventional mechas came out, they would be chopped down or shot to death, and they cooperated with each other in perfect harmony.
By the time those people came out of the cave, Xia Chujian and Huo Yushen had already killed all the survivors in more than 200 conventional mechas.
It is obvious that these more than 200 conventional mechas are mainly used to guard more than 2,000 "prisoners".
Huo Yushen was still on guard at the cave entrance in front. Here, a classmate who was familiar with Xia Chujian had already gotten up from the ground and ran over to her to cry.
"First time seeing you! First time seeing you! Is it you? Is it really you?!"
The first one to run over was Tao Pao.
She had always run faster than others, and now she had just experienced a life-or-death situation, so she ran even faster in excitement.
She ran over and hugged Xia Chujian's arm.
Because Xia Chujian was now in a two-meter-tall mecha form, and Tao Pao was at most 1.7 meters tall, he had no choice but to hold her arm.
In fact, Xia Chujian's muscles and internal organs were severely injured, and he had been relying on his firm will to kill the remnant species.
Tao Pao hugged and shook her, and she saw stars and almost fell to the ground.
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 touched? Are you surprised?"
Tao Pao was amused by her and cried and laughed, saying: "When we first met, I thought I could never go back..."
"I thought I would be mining here for the rest of my life until I die!"
"Do you know how desperate that feeling is?!"
Xia Chujian found it unbelievable and said, "...You are mining here?!"
"Those remnants kidnapped you just to make you miners?!"
In the past, when a relic species appeared, at least hundreds of people would die.
Thousands of people died during the few times it appeared in Mulan City on Guiyuan Star!
But now they have kidnapped more than 2,000 people and are just making them work as miners?
Are there any descendants who are so compassionate and have such economic acumen? !
Xia Chujian didn't say this out loud, but just complained in her heart.
Of course, Tao Pao couldn't hear Xia Chujian's inner voice. She just nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes! These relic species are so abominable!"
“The thought of having to mine for the rest of my life makes me feel like I’d rather die than live!”
"It might as well have bitten me to death from the beginning!"
Xia Chujian's mouth twitched as he said, "It's better to be alive. Who among those killed by the remnant has ever died with dignity?"
Tao Pao was distracted by Xia Chujian's words and asked curiously, "Huh? Have you seen many people killed by the remnant species? Otherwise, how do you know that their deaths were not dignified?"
Xia Chujian said, "I've seen gossip about people online. Don't you read it?"
Tao Pao shook his head: "I go online just to watch short videos and read online articles. I don't have time for gossip."
Xia Chujian sighed and said, "How are you feeling? Are you feeling unwell? Where's your aircraft?"
Tao Pao quickly said, "I'm fine, just tired. I haven't eaten enough or slept well these past few days, and I've lost a lot of weight."
"Our aircraft and airships were confiscated by these relic guards. We don't know where they are."
They had been missing for four or five days, working intensively, and coupled with poor eating and sleeping, they indeed lost weight quickly.
Xia Chujian comforted her and said, "It's good that you're okay. Think about those classmates who lost their lives. You're not only alive, but you've also lost weight. Doesn't that make you feel better?"
Tao Pao pondered for a moment and said gloomily, "Not really... I can't bear the thought of so many classmates dying just like that."
Xia Chujian: “…”
I didn't expect Tao Pao to be such a kind-hearted girl.
She was now very happy that she had saved her.
Xia Chujian said, "Then you help maintain order. I'll go find your aircraft, as well as the supplies and equipment we collected."
Tao Pao let go of her arm: "Go ahead, but be careful!"
"If...if you encounter a big guy you can't beat, just run away and leave us alone!"
She spoke to Xia Chujian very seriously, her eyes clear and bright, and it was obvious that these words came from her heart.
Xia Chujian smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry."
As she spoke, she drove Shao Siming's black and silver mecha, chasing Huo Yushen's back, and entered a mine tunnel.
There are several passages here, but no one is going out anymore.
The people mining inside should all be out.
They also killed the relic mechas that were guarding their mining operations.
What remains is whether there are any other big creatures among the relic 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 area, wondering what he was thinking.
Xia Chujian spoke to him through the mecha's built-in communication system.
"Master Chao, what's going on here?"
"Why would those remnants kidnap our people to mine?"
"Were those people abducted here nineteen years ago to mine?"
"Is this the unknown danger they suddenly encountered?"
