North Mountain Mine, Area B, a deep mine cave, a dozen miners sitting on the ground around an engineering mech, with despair on their faces.
"Li, if this broken thing can't be repaired, we'll all die here." The foreman patted the engineering mech's shell. His brow furrowed.
Li Quan's buried head poked out from a pile of mechanical parts, his face was addressed in oil, and he couldn't see his expression, but his tone was furious: "Foreman, there's no way! We are buried too deep, and anxious to get out, the energy is still enough, but the freezer is broken."
"Can it fixes?" The miners lay in a panic.
Li Quan was silent for a long time before shaking his head. "Forget it, let's wait for the rescue."
"Rescue?" The foreman had a bitter smile on his face. "According to my experience, there will be no rescue coming. Hey, it's okay if I die, what about my wife and kids?"
"Who is not!" The miners have hung their heads in despair, they are also old and young, the backbone of the family, if something is the case with them, the lives of their families can be finished.
"Hey, the life of a miner is even cheaper than paper!" The miners all sighed and fell to the ground one after another, almost giving up on hope.
A slight roar of machinery came from the subterranean mine cave.
"What's that sound!" Li Quan jerked up from the ground and lets out a cry of surprise.
"There's no sound!"
The foreman also listened sideways and shook his hand: "You're neurotic, right? I know how many people went in the B area today, and I know in my heart that the brothers are here."
"Could it be someone from the A area?" A miner reminded.
"Impossible! Which one of the people in the A area will drive the mech, if there is really this talent, has long been transferred to the B area." The foreman shook his head.
"That's right. In the entire North Mountain mine, I am one of the best at manipulating meshes. Just now, the high-intensity digging, the freezers on my maths is broken. Listen to the sound, that person is buried deeper than us, and the mech repair station is some old mats, even if you can drive, it will certainly be broken in the halfway, no way!" Li Quan nodded and said.
"It may be a hallucination. The surroundings are too quiet, and we are in a desperate situation, too nervous."
Amid a difficult situation, especially the sad desperate situation, some mentally fragile people tend to have all kinds of hallucinations, and sometimes can not wait for rescue, then a mental breakdown and go crazy.
The miners understood this, and once again, with a silent sigh, they laid down.
The rescue was now a man with no reach, and it was better to live a little longer than to die of madness right now.
But the roar of the machines came closer and appeared to be ringing in the ears.
Because of the previous experience, miners ruthlessly pressed their curiosity and desire to live, blocked their ears, not to listen, and even closed their eyes, not to see.
Just at that moment.
Boom!
The earth trembled as a large hole broke in the rock wall next to it and an older model engineering mech with its bulky body, jumped out.
All eyes, in an instant, coalesced on the engineering mech's body.
Dang!
The wrench in Li Quan's hand collapsed to the ground, his eyes froze as he looked at the big guy that jumped in, and his whole body froze.
"Illusion ...... illusion?"
The foreman grew his mouth, stunned looking at the engineering mech that came over, desperately rubbing his eyes.
Under the gaze of those many stunned eyes, the engineering mech strides over and stops in front of them, and XiaChen jumps out of the mech.
"Uncle Li, you're trapped too?" Xia Chen had a surprised face.
"...... XiaChen, was it you who manipulated the mech just now?" Li Quan's hands trembled as he asked knowingly.
"Yeah." Xia Chen scratched his head and said with a smile.
"Don't you only have second-level mental power? How is it possible to manipulate the mech?" Li Quan's face was filled with astonishment.
"I don't know. I can suddenly pilot it." Xia Chen shook his head.
Li Quan still looked suspicious, but could not think of any other reason, but the world is full of strange things, there are all kinds of weird things on the Internet, and a breakthrough in mental power by chance is not too bizarre.
"Do not say so much. The most important thing is that we are saved. Old Li, why don't you take the mech, and let's get out of here!" Foreman's two eyes glowed with a flash of dazzling brilliance.
"Forget it." Li Quan waved his hand: "Let XiaChen drive, just that jump he just made, I can't even do it, let alone digging of the mech repair station here. Hey, people are old, not use ah!"
"Yes, XiaChen, you drive it. We trust you."
"Yes, our lives are in your hands!"
The miners declared in a flurry of voices.
Now is the critical moment, at any time the danger of another collapse, things should not be late. Xia Chen also did not push back, directly back to the mech, the mech once again accompanied by a roar, stood up.
Debris splashes, the huge drill easily shatters the falling rocks, and the shovel pushes the rocks aside.
——————————————————————————
Outside the North Mountain Mine, several police mics were lined up, already under martial law.
"There's been another mining accident. This time it must be squashed!"
A bald man was giving instructions to the mine manager: "This kind of thing is not big, not small, the Galactic Empire is so big, as long as you don't say anything and I don't say anything, the media won't notice this nook and cranny of Mana Star."
"Yes, yes. But if we don't report it, the rescue won't be approved!" The mine manager was sweating profusely.
"Bullshit, are your first day as a mine manager? No rescue, no rescue, gives those families a little money, and then intimidate, things will be over." The bald man has scolded angrily.
"Yes, yes." The mine manager nodded his head repeatedly.
To be honest, the lives of the miners are nothing in the eyes of the mine manager, he has been the mine manager for more than ten years, what things do understand? But now at this time, is to play dumb, people when the leader, does a few terms, patting the buttocks to go away. He has consistently been to do, so a lot of things, he is not convenient to say directly.
"OK! If there gets any situation, contact me immediately. Remember, it must be suppressed." The balding man waved his hand, got into the hovercar, and left.
The mine manager smiled, as soon as the upper level speaks, nothing is a matter of concern.
At this moment, the North Mountain mine, the miners' families are crying and shouting, see Sun Tao came over, an older woman, more than half a hundred years old, "poof" to his knees.
"Mine manager, our family old Li still buried in the mine ah! He has sold his life to me for half a lifetime, you must find a way to save him!"
"Ahem, my manager, my family Xingchen also went down the shaft today. He's only 16 years old, he's still a child." Xia Yu also came over in his wheelchair, coughing and tear-stained.
"Yes! My manager, you must save them!" The miners' families knelt on the ground one after another.
"This." The mine manager's face showed difficulty, waved his hand, and said loudly. "I'll try my best, I'll do my best!"
This is a lie. Everyone could see it, but there was nothing they could do.
Everyone already knew in their hearts that rescue was now a man with no question.
Just then, a roar came from the mine not far away, and a colossal engineering mech opened the way, followed by a dozen miners, and came over.
"Li!"
"Liang!"
"......!"
"XiaChen!"
When the families saw the miners in Area B come out intact, they ran over one by one, exclaiming in excitement.
"This time, it's all thanks to XiaChen!"
"Yes, without him, we would all have died inside the mine this time!"
Li Quan's face is smug, although not as a hero, but as a hero's uncle, but also good.
Xia Chen? Everyone froze, that person who was driving the mech in front of him, was XiaChen who only had to level 2 mental power?
"XingChen, you ...... you can drive a mecha!" XiaYu found me in a wheelchair and still had a face of disbelief when he saw XiaChen jumping down from the mech.
"Dad."
Xia Chen scratched his head, hehe smiled, just driving the mech, his father was surprised like this, if he knew that he drove the bulky engineering mech to take out four predatory beasts lightly, I wonder how wonderful the expression would be.
