Building infrastructure in a digital world

Chapter 68. Chapter 68
It wasn't until Lake climbed up from below that Su You discovered the little thing hidden in his arms.

Perhaps because of recognizing Su You, the white mink that influenced Lake to climb the ladder, which was still alive and kicking just now, is now like a perfect specimen, motionless, and the skill of pretending to be dead has obviously improved more than before.

"Hey, it still affected me just now, and almost caused me to fall, now you know how to play dead?" Lake took the white sable out of his arms, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"Where did you see it?" Originally, Su You didn't care about the white mink, after all, it was a small thing that she let out with her own hands.

But since she saw it now, and she still saw it here, she still asked a question, because she suspected that Lake might have come here because of the white sable.

As it turned out, she was right.

Su You raised her eyebrows when Lake said that he saw the white mink running out and thought it was sneaking out from the territory, so he wanted to catch it back.

"It didn't sneak away, I let it out."

"Huh?" Lake, who was still immersed in the thought of 'this white marten is a fool who doesn't know how to enjoy life', was stunned.

Su You looked at the white sable, and saw that it turned around with teary eyes after hearing what she said, and looked pitifully like Su You was a deceitful scumbag.

'Lilo...'

It's a pity that Suyou was unmoved, Bai Diao also saw that Suyou's attitude did not intend to soften, so it suddenly broke free from Lake's arms, and then jumped to the edge of the hole.

Maybe it was because he jumped too hard just now, so he almost missed the brakes, and the whole mink almost fell into the hole again.

Fortunately, it didn't fall this time, otherwise it was because there was Lake as a backing last time, otherwise such a small mink suddenly fell, and I don't know what would happen.

"Hehehe!" After standing firmly on the edge of the hole, the white marten danced towards the two of them very excitedly, jumping up and down, and kept uttering words they could not understand.

Su You frowned, she seemed to feel that the white mink wanted to say something to her... Suddenly, Su You's eyes turned to the four walls of the mine.

I saw that there were only countless stones on the inner wall of this place called the 'mine cave', and there was no trace of ore at all.

Originally, Lake was still wondering what Su You was looking at, so he followed Su You's example and looked left and right...

"There seems to be no ore here?" As soon as he said this, Lake felt as if he had spoken nonsense.

But these are not the point, the point should be - why there is no ore in a mine.

Is this a stone cave?

impossible!
Knowing that this is a mine, if there is such a naturally formed cave, it must be a mine cave, not a stone cave with only stones.

'Heck! Seeing that neither Suyou nor Lake looked at him, Bai Diao was obviously in a hurry.

It yelled again, and when it saw the eyes of these two people looking in its direction, Bai Diao went straight down the wooden ladder that Su You had set up before, and then returned to the cave.

"Hey!" Lake was taken aback, and then quickly came to the side of the hole, lowered his head to check the condition of the white marten, and he was relieved when he saw it standing safely at the bottom.

Before he had time to say anything, he saw Su You who was standing behind him walking over, and then went down the ladder like Bai Diao.

"My lord!" Lake was really confused now, he didn't know what happened... It's fine if the white sable went down, but why did the lord also go down?

Is there something precious down there that won't work?
...Lake really guessed right!There is indeed something down here!

Su You also knew that this kind of cave located in a mine must be a mine cave, so when she found that there were no obvious traces of ore on the walls of the surface cave, she began to suspect... suspected that it might be a chain of mine caves.

A series of mines, literally, mines are formed by at least two interconnected caves, and half of the outermost surface caves have no ore, or only a very small amount of ore is exposed.

In the chain of mines, the real location of the ore is in the inner cave.

Judging from the current situation, this cave is likely to be a passage connecting these two mines!

……

After watching Su You go down, Lake didn't know for a while whether he should stay up there to prevent accidents, or whether he should go down too...

Just when Lake was about to go down together, he heard Su You's voice from below——

"Lake, take a stick with fire and hold it at the entrance of the cave to help illuminate it." Although Su You still had materials for building a bonfire, the space below was too small.

In the small space, a wooden ladder was placed and she was standing alone, so there was no room for a bonfire at all. When the bonfire could not be placed for lighting, Su You could only use this troublesome way of lighting.

"Okay!" Lake turned back, took a burning log and went back to the entrance of the cave.

In order to allow the light of the fire to shine down, Lake specially reached out and lowered the wooden stick.

"Okay, that's it." With enough light, Su You could clearly see what was under the cave.

In the absence of light, she could only see that the ground below the cave was full of stone walls, as if it was just an ordinary cave, and there was nothing special about it.

But now that there is a light source, Su You can clearly find that there is a stone wall whose color and texture are completely different from those around it.

Su You took out the pickaxe that Lake had dropped before, and tapped on this stone wall... the sound was clear and long.

After confirming the location, Su You directly picked up the pickaxe and aimed at this side of the stone wall to dig.

Because Lake above was holding a burning stick, he couldn't look straight down and couldn't see what was going on below, but after hearing the familiar voice, Lake also knew what Su You was doing at this time.

In less than 3 minutes, the fire had burnt out.

Just when Lake wanted to ask if lighting was still needed, he heard the sound of a stone collapsing coming from below.

"It's really a chain of mines..." Su You looked at the 'beyond the cave' behind the stone wall, muttered to herself, and at the same time looked at her, she had been staring at her with eager eyes since she came down. Own ermine.

When Lake's voice came from above, Su You turned her eyes away from the white sable, and then said upwards: "You go back first, and when you go back, remember to bring back the stones you dug..."
