The male protagonist tricked me

There was a huge crack in the ground, and the soil on the surface slid down one after another. The sand and gravel overlapped and raised a cloud of dust, which happened to cover the situation under the pothole.

Everyone has retreated around one after another, but they were not trapped by the gap, and they all looked inside suspiciously at this moment.

I saw that the part exposed inside the crack was flat and smooth, and it turned out to be a tunnel that had been artificially built.

Jiang Heng squinted his eyes. Just when the gap suddenly appeared, he vaguely heard footsteps, but now there is no one below.

Bai Yu looked very nervous, but she breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was only an empty corridor below. She looked at the expressions of the people around her, and carefully suggested, "Well, let's move to another location, far away from here. Some. After all, this is the territory of the Xiyang Empire, so as not to cause any more trouble."

However, there are obviously some people in the team who don't think so.

"I think we should go down and have a look." Lu Fenghua said, "Maybe this is a hidden mission for us?"

"Hidden mission?" Hearing this, Jiang Zijin suddenly became energetic, "Is it the kind that can double the points hehehehe..."

"But our points are already enough." Bai Yu disagreed, "After all, this is a place that has really experienced wars, and it is very likely that there are fortifications built before, and I think it has little to do with our assessment. , or it shouldn't matter, now is the last moment of the assessment, and I don't want to make any more troubles."

Seeing that Jiang Zijin was still looking at the hole with piercing eyes, Bai Yu tried to find a sense of approval from others, "Song Ao, Jiang Heng, what do you think?"

Song Ao didn't answer right away, but shifted his gaze to Lu Fenghua.

Although the two have gotten along well during this period of time, and seem to be in harmony with each other on many topics and things, in fact Song Ao has never let down his vigilance against this guy.

It is clear that they have just met each other not long ago, but the other party can integrate into their team so quickly, and they can make people feel comfortable when they talk and work with each other every time, like a spring breeze, which is obviously unusual.

"Fenghua, I want to hear your opinion, why do you want to go down and have a look?" Song Ao asked.

Lu Fenghua was still smiling, "Since the recruit assessment is arranged here, it means that the demarcated area is safe. We are far ahead in points now, and we didn't plan to continue to score in the afternoon. We will leave after a rest , in this case, with a new and exciting program, why not give it a try?"

However, precisely because he emphasized that "this place is safe", Song Ao frowned even more.

This time, the recruit assessment came suddenly, and the form was very strange. Although there were no accidents in the past six and a half days, but... is this place really safe?

For a while, he was uncertain, he was very curious about what Lu Fenghua said, but he also worried about safety issues.

After all, it's not about him alone, but about the whole team.

After thinking over and over again, Song Ao subconsciously shifted his gaze to Jiang Heng.

In the past, when there were similar things, it was probably Jiang Heng who made the decision. In order to gain Jiang Heng's favor, he didn't need to think too much. Regardless of whether there was danger or not, he just had to keep up.

but now……

The eyes of the two met in the air, and Jiang Heng's expression moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

But in the end Jiang Heng just spit out two words coldly, "Up to you".

This is what it means to let Song Ao make his own decision.

However, Song Ao still couldn't help the ripples in his heart.

The two have been "cold war" for almost half a month, and this is the first sentence Jiang Heng voluntarily said to himself...

So, follow him?

Song Ao looked around the audience again, and finally he turned to Bai Yu and said, "Well, Jiang Heng and Lu Fenghua and I will go down and have a look. At present, we can only see one passage, and we don't know where it will lead or what will appear. situation, so we communicate every 15 minutes, keep in touch."

"Bai Yu, you and Jiang Zijin should go back to the base first, give up the game in the afternoon, and report the situation to Lieutenant Chu, and see what she says and what actions they will take."

Lu Fenghua naturally had no objection to this arrangement, Bai Yu also nodded, Jiang Heng didn't say a word, but Jiang Zijin was a little dissatisfied and said: "No, why did you go down? I want to go down and have a look too? "

Bai Yu sighed in her heart, as expected, her pig teammate couldn't move her!Why would someone want to go to an unknown place, and it's still in the Shura field? !

Song Ao didn't understand the complex meaning in Bai Yu's expression, but he saw the disapproval in Bai Yu's eyes, and immediately said: "Although there should be no other teams coming to attack us, this is not the place after all. In the base, there is still some danger for Bai Yu to go back alone, she can't be allowed to go alone, the two of you go together, it will be safer."

Jiang Zijin agrees with this reason, but he obviously hasn't understood the prompt in Bai Yu's death gaze, and scratched his head again, puzzled, "But I want to go too, Jiang Heng, don't you want to go, or you and Let Bai Yu go back together, I'll go down."

Bai Yu couldn't help but mourn in silence for this nervous guy.

Song Ao was taken aback by these words.

Even so, he never thought that he would split up with Jiang Heng.

Song Ao was silent for a moment, and finally turned his gaze back to Bai Yu, "Ladies first, Bai Yu, who do you want to choose to go back with you, we will listen to you."

Bai Yu couldn't help but secretly praised Song Ao in her heart, and then pulled up Jiang Zijin's sleeve, "You and I go back together, the main reason is that in case of any accident, they are stronger than us, You don't even know how to walk in the air, and if you have an accident, you can only hold back, let's go."

Jiang Zijin is a stubborn guy. Hearing Bai Yu say that, not only was he not angry, but he also nodded in agreement, "That's right, what you said makes sense."

Jiang Zijin patted himself on the chest, "I will step up my training when I get back, and I will act together with everyone in the future, so I won't hold you back!" After he finished speaking, he slapped Bai Yu's back, "You too, Bai Yu, We all have to train hard and try not to slow down the team! After all, we all promised Sister Song Ling to help him take care of Song Ao!"

After several people agreed, they split into two groups. Bai Yu and Jiang Zijin gave up the afternoon assessment time and returned to the base to find Chu Yiyun to report the situation, while Song Ao and the other three entered the secret underground passage to investigate the situation.

"You all pay attention to safety." Although Bai Yu was relieved to be able to return to the base, she still told Song Ao and the others: "After I go back, I will find Lieutenant Chu as soon as possible and ask her to grant our optical brain communication authority. Open them all, and you should be able to receive messages from the base by then."

"Okay." Song Ao nodded, "You also pay attention to safety."

"Let's go." At this time, Lu Fenghua had already entered the tunnel first, he pressed a few buttons on the optical computer, and the flashlight function on the optical computer immediately turned on, illuminating the entire hole.

"It looks very long here, and the two sides don't know where to go. Which direction should we go?" Lu Fenghua looked at Song Ao and asked.

Song Ao and Jiang Heng also jumped into the pothole one after another, turning on the flashlight functions of their respective optical computers.

Song Ao carefully observed both sides, then looked at Jiang Heng.

Even though they were still in a cold war, and even though they only met once, Song Ao knew that Jiang Heng already had a plan in mind.

And sure enough, after looking at both sides for a while, Jiang Heng recalled the footsteps he heard, and pointed to one of the directions, "Let's go this way."

"No problem." Lu Fenghua snapped his fingers, still looking relaxed, and jokingly said: "But why listen to Jiang Heng, he is very lucky?"

"Yes." Song Ao laughed dryly, "He is indeed very lucky."

Jiang Heng didn't answer, but walked in front silently.

The footsteps of the three of them echoed in the tunnel, Jiang Heng took the lead, Song Ao led the team, and happened to surround Lu Fenghua in the middle.

"You guys are too polite." Lu Fenghua smiled, and even folded his hands behind his head with peace of mind, "I have done all the things of exploring the way and leading the formation, and I, the person who proposed to come in to have a look never mind."

"After all, you are new to the team, so you should be taken care of." Song Ao coped with chatting with him, but his thoughts did not relax for a moment.

He and Jiang Heng seemed to be avoiding each other, but in fact they cleverly formed a double-teaming situation for Lu Fenghua. If Lu Fenghua made any changes, the other party could immediately support him and stop Lu Fenghua from escaping. retreat.

Having experienced the ambush in the training camp, Song Ao also subconsciously doubted whether this was another round against him the first moment he saw the pothole.

It's just that this is a foreign territory after all, and it is definitely much more difficult to set up an ambush here than in the training camp.

And if it's not an accident, but a trap aimed at him, it's too easy to avoid - as long as he chooses not to enter it, even if Lu Fenghua really entraps him, there's nothing he can do about it, so it's going to take a lot of trouble here It can be said that it is extremely unwise to set up bureaus everywhere.

That's why Song Ao wanted to come down and take a look.

But the heart of defense is indispensable, so Song Ao is still full of guard against Lu Fenghua.

At this time, they had been down into the tunnel for more than ten minutes, and several people also had a preliminary observation of the tunnel.

It is obviously a man-made building, but for unknown reasons, it did not use the simple and fast construction technology in the interstellar, but used ancient artificial techniques.

This can be seen from the uneven walls and the building material Song Ao is very familiar with - cement.

Compared with the mature building materials and techniques of Interstellar, artificial construction has no advantage, except for one thing, secret.

Because of the artificial construction method, there is no need for large machinery, it will not be eye-catching, and it has the advantage of minimal sound.

"So where does this place come from? We've been walking for so long, and it turned out to be a straight road, without even a fork or a turn.

Jiang Heng naturally also discovered this doubtful point, but he also fought on the front line in his previous life, and had never been to such a place. Although he had guesses in his heart at this moment, he could not be completely sure.

Instead, Lu Fenghua's voice sounded: "This looks like a mine tunnel, tsk, and I'm afraid it's quite old."

"Mine tunnel?" Song Ao asked subconsciously.

"Yes." Lu Fenghua stretched out his hand to touch the tunnel wall, and then put the ashes in his hand under his nose to sniff, "The Xiran Empire is famous for its star power mine. If I guessed correctly, here I am afraid it is the passage of a mine."

Although Song Ao didn't know what the Star Power Mine looked like or how to mine it, he had seen mines on Earth.

However, walking here gave him a strange feeling, this long corridor didn't look like a mine at all, but rather like a tomb passage.

correct!It is the tomb passage!

Thinking of the tomb-robbing novels that he was addicted to once, Song Ao looked around again, and felt a creepy feeling.

If it is a mine, the entrance should be dug at the mouth of the mine. At this time, there should be ore that can be mined above their heads, not a solid brick wall.

"I don't think so." Song Ao expressed his doubts in his heart, "The mine road was built for mining ore, so it should be for easy mining and transportation, but this kind of long and narrow corridor will obviously bring great harm to the transportation. Inconvenience and low practical value."

"You're right." Lu Fenghua nodded, the smile on his face had completely disappeared, "But what if they just wanted to hide this mine from the beginning? Forgot why the Star Bandits came to attack here ?"

"You mean..." Song Ao frowned.

The news that the star robbers attacked the Xiyang Empire for the star power mine spread widely. However, it seems that after a fierce battle, although several large settlements on the main mineral planet of the Xiyang Empire suffered heavy losses, they still did not report their star power. News of mine damage.

At first, Song Ao thought it was a state secret, and it was normal for the Xiyang Empire not to make it public.

But when they came to the Xiyang Empire, apart from being beaten to death by Wei Rubo on the training ground, they also had some simple reconstruction work.

However, even in the deep places, they have never heard even a little news related to the Star Power Mine.

"I don't know if you have paid attention to it." Lu Fenghua said, "The Xiyang Empire occupies a total of six planets, two of which are the main mine stars, at least according to the data released to the public. But these years, the Xiyang Empire has been The total amount of ore sold outside has almost exceeded the limit of a planet's supply. However, even so, the output of star power mines in the Xiran Empire has not decreased but increased. Isn't this suspicious?"

What he said was so straightforward, Song Ao naturally understood that he was suspecting that there was a problem with the star power mine of the Xiran Empire.

However, everyone was recruiting at the same time, why did Lu Fenghua know so much?

Song Ao immediately came to a conclusion in his heart, Lu Fenghua was by no means a simple person.

However, among the 32 aristocratic families in the empire, there is no aristocratic family surnamed Lu, so what exactly is Lu Fenghua?

Wait, surname Lu?

Song Ao was startled suddenly, no wonder this surname gave him an inexplicable sense of closeness, isn't his mother Lu Fanrou's surname Lu? !

Is it a coincidence, or...

Song Ao looked suspiciously at Lu Fenghua's eyebrows, but he couldn't find any clues in it, and just as he was about to inquire about more information, the optical brain on his wrist screamed crazily.

Before Song Ao got through the communication, the communication was forcibly picked up, and Chu Yiyun's serious face appeared in front of several people.

"The safety risk is extremely high. I now ask you to evacuate from the collapse immediately and return to the base as soon as possible! A notice has been issued to all teams present, and everyone must return to the base immediately. The same goes for you, return immediately."

Song Ao suddenly understood in his heart, it seems that the background of this assessment is really not simple, I am afraid that behind it...

However, before Song Ao had time to answer Chu Yiyun, a bright light suddenly flashed in the distance of the dark corridor!

Both Jiang Heng and Lu Fenghua came like the wind, and at the same time lowered Song Ao's shoulders, and the three of them fell to the ground together.

Immediately afterwards, there was a deafening bang!In the narrow corridor, the sound wave was amplified by the infinite rebound, making people dizzy!

However, the assessment does not allow any party to bring weapons in, so the people who attacked them...

"Let's go!" Jiang Heng pulled Song Ao up, and immediately ran towards the collapsed part of the bomb just now, and Lu Fenghua had already got up to keep up, and the three of them ran wildly!

The person who fired the cannon didn't seem to have thought that the blow would be missed, and he was stunned for a few seconds before raising the cannon barrel again.

However, the star power gun is no more than the star power gun, and it takes more time to gather energy. When his second gun is fully charged and ready to launch, there is no shadow of Song Ao and the three of them?

"Tch, it's just a bunch of brats." The man held the cannon barrel on his shoulder and showed a contemptuous smile. The mouth missing one front tooth seemed a bit strange, but he licked it with his tongue as if enjoying it. On my missing tooth, I turned on the optical brain and entered a special channel, and sent a message: "A few bugs have come in, I don't know if it is from the Xialu Empire or the Angk Alliance, tsk, but it doesn't matter, they will definitely not be able to get out. .”

An exasperated voice came from the other end of the light brain, "Isn't it telling you to chase those people before, and you haven't caught up yet?!"

The toothless man let out a chuckle, "It took six days to touch the outside. Don't worry, they can't get into the innermost one. Besides, isn't there an adult guarding there?"

"Anyway, you'd better solve it for me quickly, or you'll lose all your teeth!" The voice threatened again, and hung up the communication angrily.

The toothless man didn't seem to take the other party's threat seriously, he just licked his missing front tooth again, showing a wild smile, "Three, three more, a total of six little mice, hehehe, Grandpa, I'm here to catch mice..."

He was very burly, and he was carrying a heavy cannon, so he didn't walk fast, but his steps were extremely heavy, and he walked forward unhurriedly.

He is very familiar with the corridors here, the more he flees in, the more dangerous he is, he has guarded here for more than ten years, and he has never had any troubles - walk slowly, maybe he can pick it up later corpse.

Thinking of the woman who knocked out one of his front teeth, the toothless man showed another interested expression.

Heh, the blond hair of that Anke woman is really dazzling, as fascinating as gold, I hope that the woman's body will be intact by then, so that he can...

Thinking about it, the toothless man touched his chin, and continued to walk forward with the heavy cannon on his shoulder.

In the direction that the man with missing teeth was heading, Song Ao and the three had already run a certain distance.

Thanks to that shot, the wall on one side of the corridor was blown down, allowing them to smoothly turn into the other corridor next to it—otherwise, even if they ran forward, the man would not need to chase after him, and would just keep firing. Heavy artillery is enough to bury them here.

At this moment, they have all concluded that there must be something shady hidden deep in the tunnel.

"There is too little information." Lu Fenghua said directly, "We must contact Lieutenant Chu again. We need more information. They must be engaged in some secret operation to hide from all soldiers."

"But that guy..." Song Ao looked back.

At this time, they were running in the corridor next to the previous corridor, and the two corridors were parallel. Although a wall made it impossible for the man to continue shelling them, as long as the man walked to the broken wall and stepped over to this corridor, they could easily Give them another shot.

In the first shot before, I am afraid that the man did not expect that several privates who were not even first-class soldiers could avoid it, so they fired very casually.

At this time, if there is a second shot, the narrow corridor is difficult to avoid, it may be more or less fatal.

"There are still 22 seconds." Lu Fenghua closed his eyes slightly, and recalled the distance between the man and the wall just now, "It is estimated that there are still 20 seconds before he reaches the wall of the corridor we just crossed."

"There is a fork in the road ahead, and there are two doors." Jiang Heng's voice also came at the right time, without the slightest rush of running or the panic of facing life-and-death crisis, "We still have ten seconds to arrive, left or right?"

Song Ao followed the prestige, and it was as Jiang Heng said, he saw two doors with the light of the light brain's flashlight.

left, or right?

This question lingered in Song Ao's mind.

He just made a wrong decision, that is to enter this tunnel, should he make a decision now?

"I..." Song Ao hesitated to speak.

However, Jiang Heng's firm voice contained a hint of gentleness, "As you wish."

Song Ao looked at him with some surprise, and then heard Lu Fenghua say from the other side, "It's nothing, I'll listen to you."

Song Ao's heart was suddenly filled with courage.

Even if it's a dead end, they haven't reached the final step yet, so what's there to be afraid of?

"Right." Song Ao immediately said.

When the voice fell, the three of them had already come to the front. Jiang Heng pushed open the door on the right without hesitation, while Lu Fenghua leaned forward and deliberately opened the door on the left, creating the impression that both sides of the door had been opened. look.

The three of them entered the door on the right, and the flashlight was immediately turned on, and Song Ao couldn't help but gasp.

His weird intuition was right... This room is full of shelves, but there are no goods on the shelves, they are all dried corpses!

However, it was too late for Song Ao to feel disgusted or afraid of the corpse. He looked around the whole room, his heart slowly sank to the bottom.

There is no other exit from this room.

If they want to leave, they can only go back the same way.

But... At this time, the man carrying the cannon just now has stepped into this corridor, and if he goes out now, he will immediately face his cannon.

How to do?

Song Ao looked at Jiang Heng, "I'm sorry, I..."

Jiang Heng stretched out a hand, preventing Song Ao from saying the next thing.
