About an hour after leaving the city, the transport team completely entered the wilderness area. At this time, the only things related to New Aonan that could be seen were sporadic unmanned reconnaissance aircraft patrolling at low altitude.

Xiao Wang glanced at Luo Yan. Ever since he left the city, the other party's attention had been on the outside world. Thinking that this was the first time that the other party traveled with the transport team, he guessed that the other party was probably too nervous, but it was normal, after all, it was still too much. Greenhouse flowers that are young and haven't seen blood yet can't be too demanding.He said with a smile: "Consultant Luo doesn't have to worry. Before we come out of the Alos mine, we probably won't encounter any danger. Even if there is, we can easily solve it."

Luo Yan nodded, she knew that the other party probably misunderstood something, but she still thanked her.

As the transportation team gradually deepened, when a huge three-meter-high obelisk that was crystal clear and exuded a faint fluorescence appeared in the field of vision, Luo Yan could feel a slight change in the atmosphere inside the car. They looked a little more serious.

"That's the boundary marker."

Noticing Luo Yan's expression, Xiao Wang said: "The boundary marker is mainly used to monitor the abnormal situation of the border. It is the dividing line between the order zone and the wilderness area. After passing here, we may encounter some troubles, such as Corpse dogs...Of course, if possible, I don't want to see these things, many of these mutant creatures are in groups, and it would take time to deal with them."

"So that's how it is." Luo Yan had never seen the information related to the boundary monument before, but after listening to Xiao Wang's explanation, she showed a dazed look.

At the same time, she quietly turned on the auxiliary function of the system. ?

Lin Yuanyao looked ahead and added coldly: "The possible troubles are not only from mutant beasts, but also from other terrorist armed groups and mobs in the wilderness."

Luo Yan raised her eyebrows slightly: "The mob?"

"Haven't heard of it?"

Regarding Luo Yan's ignorance, someone in the carriage said slightly contemptuously: "The mobs are mostly refugees from the gathering places. They were unable to enter the independent city either because they were detected with hemolytic disease or because of other reasons. Temporary settlements were established in wasteland areas. Because of unfair treatment, most of them are hostile to people from independent cities. Some refugees have been captured by terrorist armed groups or with ulterior motives. The instigation and funding of other forces gradually turned this hostility into anger and hatred, and this part of the refugees is the so-called "mob". "

Luo Yan nodded, but selectively ignored the ridicule in the answerer's words.

She was just a little emotional - before the Millennium Incident, this world had almost the same development track as the previous life, but the occurrence of the Millennium Incident changed the future that should have been peaceful and peaceful.Mutations have brought about supernatural beings that have never existed in this world, and have also brought wars, disasters, and pain to this world.

Regarding Luo Yan's bland reaction, many people who didn't have much affection for Luo Yan felt a little disappointed - originally thought that they could see the appearance of Luo Yan's embarrassment and anger.

There were no accidents on the way, neither encountered mutant beasts, nor were they attacked by "mobs" or "armed groups". The transport team arrived at the edge of the Alos mining area smoothly.

Lin Yuanyao frowned slightly: "Today's situation is a bit strange."

Hansen said: "Isn't it normal? There is nothing in the car, let alone mobs and armed groups, even alienated beasts look down on them."

Lin Yuanyao shook his head and said, "No, I just have a feeling, I hope it's just that I think too much, in short... let's advance to the mining area."

Luo Yan's expression moved slightly, as if she had thought of something, but she didn't say anything.

Chapter 6 Mining Area

The Alos mining area is mainly divided into four factory areas, namely the mining area, processing area, storage area and living area. Looking from the edge of the highlands, the huge mining area is a sinkhole like an abyss. From the bottom of the pit, you can vaguely see See the turquoise light.On the open-pit mine deposit, there are densely packed heavy machines that are working to collect ore.

If you want to enter the mining area, you need to go through the heavily guarded pass first, and then the long mountain road with many twists and turns.

When he was about to enter the pass, Lin Yuanyao first asked the team to slow down, first carefully observed the surrounding environment, and after confirming that everything was proceeding in an orderly manner, he signaled the team to move on.

Through the field of vision of the armored vehicle, Luo Yan noticed that there were several weapon terminals hidden on both sides of the pass, which were loaded with various attack devices, including heavy-duty automatic machine guns, and rows of pitch-black muzzles were hiddenly pointing at the pass. You must pass through the intersection.With the assistance of the system, it is easy to see where these machine guns are attacking—the entire ground area is almost completely covered by firepower.

"Captain, you are too careful." Hansen said with a smile.

Lin Yuanyao said calmly, "It's nothing serious."

She still hasn't let go of her guard, but this cautiousness is not aimed at the mining area, but the crisis lurking in the unknown.

In fact, since the gate of the mining area is set up at the commanding heights, and a considerable scale of fortifications and guards are deployed, it is extremely difficult to break through from the front and invade the interior of the mining area. If something goes wrong, the probability is There have been natural disasters such as collapses inside...but since the outside is in order, there should be no accidents inside.

But if that's the case, why was the way here so peaceful?

According to the usual habits, at least a few dead dogs had to be killed to see some blood, but this time she saw nothing, which made her feel that something was wrong.

However, she couldn't think of a possible reason for a while.

Xiao Wang shook his head helplessly, and said to Luo Yan: "This is our captain, as a powerful awakening-level superhuman, he acts very cautiously."

Luo Yan smiled and said: "This shows that you have a good and responsible captain."

Regarding Luo Yan's approval, Lin Yuanyao just remained expressionless.

However, there was a lot of laughter in the carriage. Luo Yan was already beautiful, and she was a senior consultant in her position. There was nothing offensive about her performance along the way. Naturally, there were many fewer people who continued to put on a cold face. .

"How long has it been since New Aonan Independence City was attacked by mutant beasts?" Luo Yan asked suddenly.

Xiao Wang was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't think why the other party asked this question suddenly, and recalled: "If it is a large-scale wave of mutant beasts, it should have been a few months since the last time. As for the sporadic Mutant beasts are indeed rare in the zone of order, probably because the manpower deployment of the cleaning forces outside the city is becoming more and more reasonable..."

However, Lin Yuanyao seemed to have been inspired by something, and finally there was a slight change in her calm pretty face. She took a deep look at Luo Yan and asked, "Consultant Luo, what did you think of?"

Luo Yan shook her head and said: "I stayed outside the city for a while, and I didn't see any traces of mutant beasts. Now that I think about it, I feel strange, so I want to know more about it."

"Wasteland?"

"It should be." Luo Yan was not sure, she fainted after fighting with Mr. Z that day, and she didn't know how she got back to Xin'anan at that time, she could only judge from the landforms she saw at that time.

Lin Yuanyao frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with Luo Yan's ambiguous answer, and immediately said: "There are not mutant beasts everywhere in the wasteland, and the main gathering place of mutant beasts is still near the polluted area."

Luo Yan nodded slightly when she heard the words, Lin Yuanyao's explanation also made sense, but according to her observations along the way, it seemed that things were not that simple.

When she entered the wasteland, she had already turned on the auxiliary function of the system, and observed a small number of abnormal environmental parameters, but because they were far away from the transport convoy, she didn't pay much attention to them, but after hearing Lin Yuanyao's words, she couldn't help it. Avoid paying attention.

What is the abnormal environment parameter?

When Luo Yan was thinking, she suddenly felt a very slight tingling sensation from between the blood vessels, which was probably only slightly stronger than the feeling of a mosquito bite on her body. It is directly ignored. ?

Luo Yan was slightly startled at first, and then noticed that the transportation team had passed the inspection and was slowly driving to the depths of the mining area, and then she understood: "Is this the impact of the high concentration of Odegar substances... "

She subconsciously glanced at her current panel.

"Level: Awakening"

"Next stage: 0/500"

"Number of photons: 71"

Secretly recorded the time at this time and the corresponding number of photons, and she was going to verify a previous conjecture - would the natural growth rate of photons be correspondingly improved in a high-concentration Odegar substance environment?

Xiao Wang glanced at Luo Yan, who was wearing a female workplace attire, and asked, "Because there are a lot of Odgar ore in the mining area, there is also a certain amount of energy radiation in the air. Is Consultant Luo sure that he doesn't need any protective tools?"

A large number of Ordega mines gathered together will produce strong energy radiation, so it is necessary to wear protective clothing when working in the mining area for a long time or entering the depths of the mining area.

Luo Yan declined his kindness, and said: "No need, this is fine."

Xiao Wang nodded, he was just reminding in good faith that how the other party decides is the other party's business, and he has already fulfilled his due responsibilities.

Lin Yuanyao frowned slightly, and said: "If you are not an awakened level superhuman, it is recommended to wear it. Although it is bulky and troublesome, your health is more important."

"It's really unnecessary." Luo Yan was still preparing for the test, and it would be meaningless to wear protective clothing now, so she still rejected Lin Yuanyao's kindness.

Lin Yuanyao said lightly, "As you please."

She doesn't think that Luo Yan is an awakening-level supernatural being. A person who can reach the awakening level at such a young age must have received extremely strict special training. traces of training.

Even if this Consultant Luo is a supernatural user, at best, he is a superhuman with alienation level, and may have a little advantage over ordinary people in terms of physical fitness, but he must have a high concentration of Odd without any protective measures. It is really not a wise decision to stay in the mining area of ​​Ga material for a long time.

She couldn't understand the other party's thoughts, so she could only attribute all this to "princess disease". A beautiful woman like the other party must have been a celebrity since childhood, so it is easier to develop an arrogant temperament, and for these young For princesses, the experience of wearing protective clothing is terrible.

However, compared to the initial contempt, she has actually changed her view of this consultant Luo now. On the one hand, he is not as delicate as she imagined, and on the other hand, the other party is indeed serious about serving the transportation team. Think carefully, and I have to say that what the other party said really broadened her thinking.

It's a pity... the flowers in the greenhouse are the flowers in the greenhouse after all.

Before the other party has experienced enough tempering, she probably won't be able to have too many common topics with the other party.

Chapter 7 Odegar Ore

The main task of the transport troops on this trip was to transport the Ordega ore in the storage area to the independent city of New Aonan. Therefore, Luo Yan and others went straight to the storage area after passing the inspection at the checkpoint and arriving at the mining area.

A group of people got out of the car, and the next step was negotiation, counting, transfer and other work. Luo Yan only looked at it for a while, and didn't care anymore. Instead, she went to the bulk warehouse in the storage area, where a large number of unpackaged Austrian goods were piled up. Dega ore.

"Is it allowed to touch?" Luo Yan asked, looking at the raw ore piled up on the display rack.

Xiao Wang, who was in charge of guarding and introducing, nodded and said, "Yes, but I suggest Consultant Luo put on gloves before touching."

Luo Yan didn't make things difficult for the other party this time. She took the disposable nitrile gloves from Xiao Wang and put them on. First she took a piece of light green raw ore with snowflake-like texture inside, and then took another piece that showed a crystal shape. The dark green raw ore, looked at each other for a while, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something.

Noticing Luo Yan's expression, Xiao Wang said with a smile: "Consultant Luo has also noticed the difference between these two kinds of ores? Here I will introduce to you, there are three common types of Odgar ore we are talking about. The forms are cluster ore, crystal ore and snowflake ore. In related research, according to the quality of the original ore, it is divided into three types from high to low: type I, type II and type III... …”

"Type [-] mines contain the highest concentration of Odegar substances, and Type [-] mines have the lowest concentration. In fact, this can be easily seen from the characteristics of the ore body... At present, around New Onan, the main The veins in the mines are all Type II veins, including the Aros mine area where we are now."

Luo Yan nodded slightly.

When she used the system to scan just now, she found that these two types of raw ore are not only very different in quality, but also have completely different conversion efficiencies after absorption.

Type III mines with snow-patterned lines inside can only reach E-level evaluation, and can only get two or three points of photons after absorption, while crystal ores that reach D-level or above can get about ten points after absorption.

At first she found it unbelievable, but now she understands after hearing Xiao Wang's explanation.

"From this point of view, the Odega ore that Lu Xiaona brought to me that day is a type-two crystal ore."

Luo Yan thought for a while, and asked, "Are there no Type [-] ore veins around New Aonan?"

Xiao Wang shook his head: "It's a pity that it hasn't been discovered yet. However, if there is, even though it will definitely benefit the development of the city, it may not be a good thing..."

Luo Yan nodded and said: "This is..."

In previous lives, many countries have incurred wars because they occupied oil resources beyond their capabilities.And in this life, the strategic significance of Ordega Ore is even greater than that of oil resources. If a type of ore vein is found nearby, let alone whether New Onan has the ability to hold on to the resources, just say that Independence City is currently sustainable. Tranquility will inevitably be broken.

Luo Yan reckoned that there was still some time before Lin Yuanyao finished her work, so she left the storage area first and went to the ore excavation site.This time she didn't ask Xiao Wang to follow her, but just asked him to contact her mobile phone number when the transport troops were ready.

At the excavation site, in addition to densely packed heavy machinery, there are also a large number of hardworking miners.

In addition to the poor people from New Ao Nang, these miners are also refugees from the surrounding areas, that is, refugees from gathering places who cannot get permission to enter the city.For this group of people, the mining area has a separate selection plan that is different from the main city. Basically, as long as there is no problem found in the inspection, they will be allowed to enter the mine.Of course, the mine will only provide these people with basic protective shelter. The radiation pollution in the mine environment will be clearly informed to these people before they enter the site.

In addition, because of the strategic position of Ordga ore and its energy radiation, the ore they obtained from the mine cannot be taken out of the mine. As a compensation, the mine will buy it at a price lower than the market price. These ores are actually used as cheap labor.

However, if they are lucky enough to dig out the extremely rare type [-] mine in the type [-] vein, then they will be able to get a very considerable return from the mine, and it is precisely for this reason that so many people moth The firefighters came here to pan for gold and chase their dreams.

Although many people have worked to the point of numbness, Luo Yan's arrival still brought a certain amount of vitality to the excavation site, and there were not a few people who looked at it——

The women that can be seen in places like the excavation site are often tanned by the scorching sun and have cracked skin. Who can be as fair and beautiful as Luo Yan, let alone have an extremely attractive and sexy figure? .However, even though they were teased severely, no one dared to speak up.

Only the foreman in charge of the scene came to talk to him, and he briefly asked about Luo Yan's identity a few times. After learning that Luo Yan was the new senior consultant of the investigation department, the foreman's fiery eyes subconsciously restrained a lot, and turned to There was a bit of sadness between the brows - if something unexpected happens to such a noble woman in the place he is in charge of, will he continue to work?However, the other party insisted on doing this, so he could only agree with trepidation, and at the same time secretly asked a few people to watch from a distance to avoid any accidents.

Stepping on high-heeled shoes, Luo Yan walked through several heavy machinery, found a tunnel with relatively few people, gently brushed away the accumulated sand on the surface, and groped like the miners around her.

It's different though.

Not because her posture is more elegant and charming, but because she can see far more things in the mine than others.

"Sure enough... Although the scan can only be used on one unit, if it cooperates with the early warning function, it can quickly find the Odgar ore buried under the rock."

Under the auxiliary function, the mine pit in front of Luo Yan has been marked with various abnormal environmental parameters by the system, and these abnormal places are mostly hidden places of ore.In a sense, she is like turning on the clairvoyance hook in the previous game. Although it is not accurate enough, she has a great advantage compared to ordinary miners.

With the help of the system, Luo Yan dug up a place with abnormal parameters. As expected, there was a small amount of raw ore hidden here.

"Name: Odegar Raw Ore"

内_部群:7 37|98/5/2/9.1  「品质:D级」

"Mass: 46g"

"Remarks: The raw ore of Odega ore can be used as energy after processing, or the Odega substance can be extracted to shorten the time required for the evolution of supernatural beings."

"Reminder: After testing, the Oddgar substance contained in the raw ore can be directly absorbed, with a conversion rate of 96%. After complete absorption, it is expected to obtain 3 photons. Please choose whether to absorb it now."

After Xiao Wang's explanation, Luo Yan now knows that what she has dug is a Type [-] mine.

The quality of this piece of raw ore is not high, so although it is also a Type II mine, the number of photons that can be transformed is far from comparable to the piece that Lu Xiaona gave her.

Playing with the ore just dug out, Luo Yan showed a thoughtful look: "If conditions permit, this mining area may become the best hang-up area for me to quickly improve my strength. The question that needs to be confirmed now is, If I absorb these raw ores directly, will there be any abnormal movements? Also... staying in this kind of place for a long time as me will easily arouse the suspicion of the mining area and high-level officials. I also need to prepare enough legitimate information in advance. Just a reason."

After observing the layout of the sentry posts and the patrol route in the excavation area for a while, she estimated that Lin Yuanyao's transport troops were about to leave, so she didn't stay any longer, but took the two pieces of raw ore that she had taken out to the storage area. go.

Chapter 8 Enemy Attack

"Consultant Luo, you came back just in time and are about to contact you."

Seeing Luo Yan walking in, Xiao Wang said with a smile, with a little surprise in his eyes, as if he didn't expect Luo Yan to stay in the mine for such a long time. ?

Luo Yan nodded slightly, and looked around the storage area. She could see that the transport vehicle had been loaded, and the members of the transport team put the unloaded guns on their backs again: "It seems that you are ready."

Lin Yuanyao put on the jet-black tactical gloves, stretched out his hands and shook them twice, and said, "Yes, we can start now."?

"what?"?

As Luo Yan approached, Xiao Wang finally noticed the ore in Luo Yan's hand, he was slightly taken aback, and said in disbelief: "Consultant Luo...you went down to dig the mine yourself?"

After the words were finished, many people looked at Luo Yan, and the two pieces of Odgar ore that she was holding in her hand were obviously just dug out, and most of them showed strange expressions. ?
