Star Civilization: I loaded the MOD

Chapter 32 Meeting love at the corner

In the underground tunnel, a pile of rocks blocked the road ahead. Bana and Xinglai stayed quietly in front of the pile of rocks, waiting for the captain's instructions.

"Zi~Ground, this is Aisha."

The underground signal is very poor, and the sizzling white noise appears along with the communication, breaking the main tone of emptiness in the alleyway.

"Roger, Captain Aisha, I'm Logisticsman Wood."

"Send the vambraces and adaptive anchor net down, we need to clear a path."

"Huh~ Got it."

Soon, the sound of the approaching zipline came from the entrance of the cave, and the equipment was rolled into a ball, turning into a shadow that blocked the light of the mine.

Elsa pulled her over and took off the equipment easily, throwing the arm armor to Bana.

"Here, put it on and wait until I find a good position to work together."

She had a general idea in her mind, and she only needed the simple cooperation of the three members of her team to pass quickly and safely.

He kept moving around to adjust his position, placing his fingers against the pile of stones, trying to find the gaps between the stones. Finally, after poking out a few handfuls of soil on the right side, the light from the helmet light finally illuminated the opposite side.

"I'm pretty lucky. It looks like the collapsed part is very short, so it doesn't take too long."

Elsa smiled excitedly, patted the dust on her hands, stretched out her hand to trace the outline and pointed towards the star.

"Xinglai, use your gun to cut a hole. There are large rocks on top to support it, and there are mostly small and medium-sized gravels on the bottom. You can use some tricks to open the way."

"I will fill the anchor net in my hand, and the hydraulic structure will continue to expand outward. You will take the opportunity to cut and provide space."

"Bana, help clear the gravel and hold up the big rocks."

Xing Lai waved the gun in his hand, raised it in a ostentatious manner, stepped forward and pointed the muzzle at the tiny gravel on the right.

"Hehe, no problem, this thing is much easier to use than the splitter."

Bana also stood at the front, ready to help.

The red laser shot out, and the two of them grabbed their hearts and stared at the muzzle of the gun. The highly focused energy penetrated into the gravel like a bayonet, evaporating into a hole.

The anchor net that was already nearby was quickly inserted and filled in before the rocks loosened and fell.

"very good."

Seeing that the crucial step was completed, Aisha breathed a sigh of relief.

Then just expand it again and again.

As the robotic arm continued to clean up the rubble, Xinglai evaporated to create a larger space, and a passage with human height was quickly erected. The pile of rocks remained motionless, showing no sign of another collapse.

The channel supported by the anchor net is nearly two meters long, and even if the light shines through, it cannot drive away the endless darkness.

Aisha turned her head and kept wandering between Bana and Xinglai. She needed someone to accompany her to take a look.

The other one is left here to act as insurance in case another accident happens and everything is blocked.

Bana has a calm personality and can be effective whether she stays where she is or goes in with her.

Xinglai, on the other hand, is more lively. No matter where he goes... his job on the other side will be stable.

Well, let Xing Lai follow you. It would be more reliable for Bana to stay behind.

"Bana, stay here and report to the ground immediately if any accident occurs. Xinglai, you go in with me, and put away your gun first."

"Ah hey hey." Xing Lai, who was dancing with the laser and gun, immediately smiled, hid the gun, and followed Aisha.

Aisha nodded towards Bana and walked into the dim anchor net channel first.

Bangdang~ Bangdang~

The sound of footsteps stepping on the iron wire was extremely obvious in the completely dark and silent cave. It echoed into the empty alleyway in the distance, intertwined with the pounding sound of the heart, making people feel strangely uneasy.

"I've already come over, and it's much colder here than outside."

Aisha said softly to the two people behind her.

His fingertips were wrapped around the coldness in the air, and the robe on his body could not keep the ends of his limbs warm.

"Lord Aisha, slow down."

The sound of walking came, and Xinglai walked quickly.

"The mine is very dangerous, we'd better get closer."

Aisha turned back to look at Xinglai. She put the sniper rifle in her arms again, as if to be brave.

He said with a bit of teasing.

"Are you scared?"

Xing Lai suddenly opened his eyes wide and mouthed, looking timid but very dissatisfied.

"No, no, in a sense, this mine is also a cemetery. Many natives died in the original accident. I call this reverence for life."

Facing the girl's sophistry, Aisha shrugged and consoled her. "Fear is a normal psychological phenomenon, and there is nothing to be ashamed of."

"My lovely man, for the sake of our work, could you please make this place brighter?"

Elsa patted her backpack, and the sound of a large number of lampshades colliding was heard.

After a few seconds of silence, Xinglai slowly took out one hanging lamp after another and turned on the maximum brightness in retaliation to dispel the darkness here.

Now she just wants to light up this deep alleyway.

After looking around, I hung a lamp on the wooden support structure.

The supporting structure made of a few wooden boards and wooden piles left over two hundred years ago still maintains structural integrity.

Rather than supporting the mine, hanging miner's lamps is their proper use.

Under the wooden support, a dusty object caught Elsa's attention.

Elsa leaned over and picked up the object. It was covered with dust and traces of rust rubbed on her fingers. It was obviously very old.

Judging from the appearance, this is the mining lamp of the Mojie civilization.

Shaking it off and blowing off the dust, she hung it next to the miner's lamp again. The dilapidated and brand-new creations of different civilizations were lined up together, which made her feel a little embarrassed.

"Is this considered a cultural relic? It must have been knocked off by the shock. The fallen soil at the wick extinguished the fire."

After taking photos as a souvenir, the two continued to move forward.

Whenever he encountered a support structure, Xing Lai would always rush forward and hang a miner's lamp. The bright light of the miner's lamp appeared on the roadside support with a high frequency.

It wasn't until the light illuminated the path under my feet and I picked up the new miner's lamp again that I breathed a sigh of relief.

For this kind of saturated lighting, Xinglai euphemistically calls it easy for observation.

And Aisha didn't stop this behavior. She smiled all the way, looking at Xing Lai who was obviously very timid, but she forced herself to light up every corner of the cave.

Xinglai led the way with a lantern, and quickly hung up another one. He did not rush towards Zhizhu anymore, but turned back to look at her.

"Lord Aisha, there is a fork in the road ahead, which one should we take?"

"I want them all," she replied without thinking, "but let's go to the left first."

Like a soldier who had received an order, Xing Lai mustered up the courage to rush directly into the left alleyway and hung up the miner's lamp on the wooden support.

The movements were completed in one go, and Xinglai was now able to concentrate on observing the alleyway.

Support, wood, ancient mining lamps, dust, ravines, scattered black coal, well... there seems to be more.

The big round ball has two small holes facing her, bowling ball?

Take another look!

"ah!!!"

A scream of fear spread throughout the mine from Xing Lai's mouth, and a familiar figure from behind quickly rushed to her.

"What's wrong, Xinglai."

"It, it, I, look back..."

Pointing to the corner against the wall, Xinglai spoke a little incoherently, stammering and stumbling.

Elsa looked in the direction of her finger, and for a moment her heart felt like it was being grabbed.

A skeleton!

Lying on the ground, his posture was twisted, as if he had been tortured before death, and finally fell here helplessly, with two dark eye holes staring at them coldly.

"Zi~Zi, hey, Captain Aisha, can you hear me? Zhi~"

The sudden communication noise interrupted the terrifying atmosphere. Xinglai's stiff legs regained mobility and moved behind Aisha.

"Roger, this is Aisha and Xinglai."

"I thought I heard an echo of a scream just now. Are you okay?"

Bana's voice came from the terminal with some distortion, and Aisha led Xinglai back to the straight alleyway.

The noise was greatly reduced and the signal suddenly became much better.

"Nothing unusual, we found the remains of the Mojie people." Looking back at the pitiful Xing Lai, Aisha said directly without hesitation.

"It's just that Xinglai was scared and cried."

"..."

The communication was silent for a moment, then hung up after another voice came. "Understood."

Xing Lai, who had recovered, suppressed his blush. "Who is scared to cry? I just screamed. Captain, you are persecuting my reputation."

Aisha spread her hands noncommittally. "Then just move forward, otherwise you won't be convincing."

Hearing this, Xing Lai, who was holding her clothes behind her, tightened his grip.

Elsa walked forward helplessly, turned the fork in the road and walked forward. This time she changed the angle, and the light shone on the skeleton.

Among the twisted bones, a crystalline reflected light flashed past.

There is something that this magic hero will hold on to until death.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, let’s enjoy counting the votes of your children~
