And now, only two minutes have passed.
They still have to hold on for eight more minutes!
Chen Yanjun pounded his fist on the abandoned railing of the mine in pain.
"Transfer? Still need to transfer? Why should we transfer?!"
"If we continue like this, sooner or later we will have no way out!"
"All habitable planets will be given to the Zerg. Let us all die!"
Lin Nian'en, Wu Hang and Old Man Zhao looked at each other, and saw the miserable and desperate expressions on each other's faces.
Yes, even if we can move now, we can only survive.
They have already given up Shaofu Star.
If they give up Guiyuan Star this time, then they will have to give up Zangge Star and Kanli Star next time...
Finally, there is Beichen Star.
By that time, will their country still have any need to exist?
Although for a country, people are always the most important.
But if humans have no place to live, how can they exist under this starry sky?!
"There's no time!" Chen Yanjun turned around suddenly and swept his eyes over the pale faces of his teammates.
A crazy and determined thought once again came to my mind.
He pointed at the dark blue vein deep in the shaft, his voice hoarse with excitement: "Detonate it! Blow up the entire shaft!"
"Bury the mineral vein!"
"No matter what's down there, they all have to die!"
"Only in this way can we hold them back!"
"Only in this way can we buy time for Lieutenant General Xia!"
When Old Man Zhao heard this, his cloudy eyes suddenly lit up and he finally made up his mind.
He did not hesitate at all, and did not even look at the bottomless vein again.
He turned abruptly and strode towards the control console lightly covered with dust in the corner of the shaft platform.
It was a very old-fashioned detonation control panel used for emergency mine closures.
It was covered with thick manual switches and knobs.
There is no trace of mechanical intelligence.
"Chen Yanjun! Lin Nian'en! Wu Hang!" Old man Zhao's voice was extremely loud, even drowning out the increasingly crazy banging sounds outside the door.
His calloused hands had opened the cover of the console without hesitation, revealing the core of the detonator which was also covered in dust but the circuit structure was still clear.
Old man Zhao's movements were astonishingly fast.
Rough fingers precisely plucked the complex wiring nodes, winding several key guide wires around a manual crank inside the console.
"Old man Zhao! What are you going to do?!" Chen Yanjun instantly understood his intention, and rushed over with shock and anger, roaring.
"Don't come over!" Old man Zhao turned around suddenly, and his previously cloudy eyes were now exceptionally clear.
There seemed to be an unquestionable fire burning in his eyes.
It is an authority and decisiveness that transcends life and death.
"Listen up! I wonder who developed this crappy console! It should have been consigned to a museum long ago! It can only be triggered manually! I'll do it!"
As he spoke, he plugged a portable data storage device into the hand crank and quickly began downloading all the data.
Then he pulled out the portable data storage device, threw it into Chen Yanjun's hands, and roared, "Get out of here! Leave me alone!"
Chen Yanjun looked down and saw that the indicator light on the memory card was flashing wildly.
That was clearly the device that Wu Hang had been hanging on his belt when he was debugging in the Space Fortress maintenance station!
Old man Zhao just connected it to this worn-out console.
The screen on the console lit up, scrolling a dizzying stream of real-time data.
Wu Hang's eyes widened. "Analysis of target unit energy characteristics, scanning of carapace structure, recording of force field frequency fluctuations..."
"Old man Zhao!"
Wu Hang understood and cried out, "That's mine...!"
"Shut up!" Old man Zhao interrupted him harshly, his voice filled with an unquestionable determination.
"I saw it! I saw it all!"
"There's a lot going on underneath this abandoned mine!"
"It must be something big!"
"That damn thing's energy field hasn't been fully released yet!"
"I wrote it down! I recorded it all! Using this thing from Wu Hang!"
He pointed at the flashing data storage device in Chen Yanjun's hand, "...Take this thing out!"
"The data inside it will allow Lieutenant General Xia to search for the thing underground. What on earth is it?"
"Take them out! Meet up with Lieutenant General Xia! Go!"
"No! Let's go together!" Lin Nian'en was eager to step forward.
"Get out!" Old man Zhao pushed Lin Nian'en hard with such great force that she staggered backward.
"Follow the rules! Safety first!"
"The safest procedure right now is for every single one of you to get out alive!"
"I'm already sixty-eight years old! I've lived enough!"
The muscles on his age-spotted face twitched.
Suddenly, an almost divine light burst out from his bright eyes.
"Don't let my death be in vain! And don't let those people in the Space Fortress die in vain!"
“Get out of here!!”
Chen Yanjun held back his tears, holding Lin Nian'en with one hand and Wu Hang with the other.
The three people's second-generation mechas started up at the same time, flew to a groove above the mine that was dug out at an unknown time, and hid inside.
Boom!!!
A deafening bang came from the gate!
The heavy iron door at the entrance of the mine finally couldn't withstand the continuous violent impact and exploded inward!
Heavy metal fragments flew everywhere like cannonballs!
