Civilization of the Stars: I loaded the mod

Chapter 32 The Love Around the Corner

In the underground tunnel, messy stone piles blocked the front of the road. Bana and Xinglai stayed quietly in front of the stone piles, waiting for the captain's order.

"Zi~ground, this is Aisha."

The underground signal was very poor, and the whistling white noise appeared along with the communication, breaking the main tone of emptiness in the alleyway.

"Received, Captain Aisha, I'm Logistician Wood."

"Send the arm armor and adaptive anchor net down, we need to clear a way."

"Huh~ I understand."

Soon, there was the sound of approaching ziplines 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 over and took off the equipment easily, and threw the arm armor to Bana.

"Here, put it on and wait for me to find a good place to work together."

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

Constantly walking to adjust the position, five fingers fit the stone pile, trying to find the gap between the stones, and finally poked out a few handfuls of soil on the right side, and the light of the helmet lamp finally shone across the opposite side.

"Luck is not bad, it seems that the collapsed part is very short, so it doesn't take too long."

Aisha smiled excitedly, patted the dust on her hands casually, stretched out her hand to trace the outline and gestured towards Xing.

"Xing Lai, use your gun to cut a hole. There are large rocks supporting it, and there are mostly small and medium-sized gravels below, so you can take advantage of it."

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

"Bana, assist in cleaning up gravel and propping up large rocks."

Xing Lai waved the gun in his hand, raised it in a showy manner, and stepped forward to aim the gun at the tiny gravel on the right.

"Hey, no problem, this thing is much easier to use than a splitter."

Bana also stood to the side and was ready to help at any time.

The red laser shot out, and the two grabbed their hearts, staring at the muzzle of the gun intently.The highly focused energy pierces the gravel like a bayonet, evaporating a cavity.

The anchor nets that had already arrived nearby were quickly inserted, filling them in before the stones loosened and fell.

"very good."

Seeing that the crucial step was completed, Aisha was relieved.

Then just expand it again and again.

As the mechanical arm continued to clean up the gravel, Xinglai evaporated to create a larger space, and the passageway as high as a person was quickly erected, and the stone pile remained motionless, showing no sign of another collapse.

The channel supported by the anchor net is nearly two meters long, even if the light shines on it, the endless darkness cannot be driven away.

Aisha turned her head and kept looking between Bana and Xinglai. She needed someone to accompany her in.

The other one is left here as an insurance, so as not to be blocked in case of any accident.

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

But Xing Lai is more lively, no matter where he goes... the job on the other side is stable.

Uh, let Xing Lai follow me, it's more reliable for Bana to stay behind.

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

"Ah heh heh heh." Xing Lai, who was wielding a gun with Wu Laser, immediately smiled sarcastically, hid the gun, and followed Aisha.

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

Bang Dang~ Bang Dang~
The sound of footsteps stepping on the wire is extremely obvious in the completely dark and silent cave, echoing into the empty alleyway in the distance, intertwined with the beating sound of the heart, which makes people feel strangely uneasy.

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

Aisha said softly to the two people behind.

His fingertips were entwined with the coldness from the air, and the robe on his body could not keep the ends of his limbs warm.

"Master Aisha, slow down."

There was a rattling sound of walking, and Xing Lai walked quickly.

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

Aisha looked back at Xinglai, and she put the sniper rifle in her arms again, as if to embolden her courage.

Some teasingly teased.

"Are you afraid?"

Xing Lai's eyes widened immediately, his mouth was stubborn, he looked cowardly, but he was very dissatisfied.

"No, no. In a sense, this mine is also a cemetery. Many indigenous people died in the accident. I call it reverence for life."

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

"My lovely subordinate, for our work, can I trouble you to brighten this place?"

Aisha patted her backpack, and there was the sound of a large number of lampshades colliding.

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

She just wanted to light up this deep alleyway now.

Look around and hang a lamp on the wooden support structure.

The support structure made of a few planks and piles left over 200 years ago still maintains its structural integrity.

Rather than supporting the mine, hanging miner's lamps is their correct purpose.

Under the wooden support, a dusty object attracted Aisha's attention.

Aisha leaned over to pick up the object, it was covered with dust, and traces of rust rubbed on her fingers, obviously it was very old.

Judging from the appearance, this is the miner's lamp of the Mojie people's civilization.

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

"Is this considered a cultural relic? It should have been shaken off at the beginning, and the fallen soil at the wick extinguished the fire."

After taking pictures, the two moved on.

Every time he encountered a support structure, Xing Lai always rushed forward to hang a miner's lamp, and the strong 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 his feet that he picked up a new miner's lamp in his hand again, before he breathed a sigh of relief.

For this kind of saturated lighting, Xinglai calls it easy to observe.

And Aisha didn't stop this kind of behavior, smiling all the way, watching Xing Lai's obviously super cowardly look, but forced herself to light up every corner in the cave.

Xing Lai opened the way with a lantern, and soon hung up another lamp, and instead of rushing to extend it, she turned her head to look at her.

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

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

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

The movements were done in one go, so Xing Lai had the time to observe this alleyway.

Supports, wood, ancient miner's lamps, dust, ravines, scattered black coal, um... there seems to be more.

There are two small holes facing her in the big ball, bowling ball?

Take another look!
"what!!!"

Scared screams spread from Xinglai's mouth throughout the mine, and a familiar figure behind her quickly rushed to her.

"What's wrong, Xinglai."

"It, it, me, turn around..."

Stretching out his finger and pointing at the place leaning against the wall at the corner, Xing Lai spoke a little incoherently, stuttering.

Aisha looked in the direction of her finger, and for a moment her heart seemed to be caught.

A skeleton!
Lying on the ground, the posture was distorted, as if after being tortured before death, and finally fell here powerlessly, two dark eyes stared at them coldly.

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

The sudden communication noise interrupted the terrifying atmosphere, Xinglai's stiff legs regained his ability to move, and he moved behind Aisha.

"Got it, this is Aisha and Xinglai."

"I seem to have heard the echo of a scream just now, are you all right?"

Bana's voice was distorted from the terminal, and Aisha led Xing to the straight alleyway when she walked back.

The noise is greatly reduced, and the signal is suddenly much better.

"No abnormality, we found the corpse of Mojie." Looking back at the poor Xinglai, Aisha said without hesitation.

"It's just that Xing Lai was scared and cried."

"..."

The communication was silent for a moment, then hung up after another call. "clear."

Xing Lai blushed when he recovered. "Who cried in fright, I just screamed, Captain, you persecute my reputation."

Aisha spread her hands noncommittally. "Then you go ahead, or else you won't be convincing."

Hearing this, Xing Lai, who was holding on to her clothes behind her, gripped even tighter.

Aisha walked forward helplessly, turned around the side road and walked forward. This time, the angle was changed, and the light shone on the skeleton.

In the middle of the distorted bones, a crystal-clear reflected light flashed past.

Something was held tightly by this Mojie until his death.
