In Yuanshen, no one understands holy relics better than me

Mention this point, Xia Tian stopped.

Jin Wu once said that when the stratum was closed, some miners lost contact because the mine collapsed.

Also please Xia Tian, ​​if those miners are found... Even if there are only corpses left, I hope that the location can be recorded, so that it will be convenient to take them "home" later.

Could it be them that Zhiqiong found traces?

Of course you can't leave it alone.

So, in the direction indicated by Zhiqiong, the two continued to move forward.

There are lights!

There are really people!

Xia Tian's sharp eyes swept away.

It was obvious at a glance that they were not Liyue people... Their figures and attires were too eye-catching.

They are the fools of the Winter Kingdom.

Because there was a light in the distance, Zhiqiong could see clearly, and immediately gritted his teeth and said, "It's a crowd of fools! Could it be that they also sneaked in after receiving the news that they were going to resume work?"

Some time ago, various announcements were denouncing the various crimes of the fools. As long as they are Liyue people, there is no one who does not dislike the fools.

Zhiqiong hates evil like hatred, of course it is the same, and immediately thinks in a bad direction.

Xia Tian is different, in the heart is more rejoicing.

Rosalind said that there are also many fools trapped in the rock abyss, including the executive officer candidate "Katarina" who she personally recommended, asking for help.

Looking at it now, it seems that the task can be easily completed.

Zhiqiong remained vigilant: "Senior, what should we do? Shall we go and report to Sister Jinwu first?"

This performance is not bad. I really made a discovery and knew that I would go back and report it as soon as possible, instead of making a decision on my own impulsively.

Xia Tian patted her on the shoulder: "No hurry, you wait for me here, I'll go over and ask first."

"The fools are very cunning, I will go with the senior!"

Zhiqiong didn't want to wait alone in a dark corner.

In short, just go with it.

……

When you get close, you can hear the commotion of those fools, and there are even scolding and pushing. Is there an internal struggle?

They were considered elite, and soon discovered that the glow of the lumen stone was moving.

Someone is coming!

Immediately stop the dispute, and instead ran down the wooden stairs with a "dong dong dong".

The excited look seemed to be rushing over to prepare for a fight.

Zhiqiong is not a timid girl, but she was also frightened by those big men rushing towards her, and hid behind Xia Tian.

Afraid of disturbing the "savior", the leading fool started to introduce himself from a long distance away.

"Hoo...you, hello, I'm Sergeant "Anton Melnikov", the acting company commander of the Ninth Company! "

This kind of friendly tone can at least tell that it is not an enemy.

"Hello." Xia Tian took a look.

Just four people.

The troops of the fools pay attention to a high degree of unity and solidarity, and their dress is similar, and they can only be distinguished by height, shortness, fatness and thinness.

"Huh...huh..."

Obviously they are all elite soldiers, but they are so tired and out of breath because of such a few trots, they seem to be a little weak!

Anton politely introduced them one by one: "These are Daniela, Timor, Radomir, and...uh, Romansky, he's not here now, he's in...the sanitation camp."

After finishing speaking, the guy named "Danila" reminded unhappyly: "There is no Romansky, and there is no health camp anymore, Antoha, did you have memory problems again? They are all missing or dead... There are only a few of us left!"

Anton rubbed his temples. Hunger made his thoughts often confused, but one thing would not change: "Danila! How many times have I said that I am the company commander, call me Sergeant Anton!"

Another thin and short man "Timer" sneered: "Ha! Company Commander! Sergeant! Antoha, you bastard... Ever since the captain disappeared, you fake and powerful bastard have put your big tail up !Ha ha!"

"Enough! Timor! You're starving, why don't you eat some fists to sober up!" The person who scolded was "Radomir", who was the oldest of the four, and he was more protective of Anton.

Timor refused to accept it, and the long-term starvation has already driven him crazy: "Okay, come on! Let me feed you a few feet too!"

"Cough, cough! Quiet! Do you want to fight? If you want to fight, go down and fight! Fight with those things coming out of the black mud! Go hungry!"

Anton squeezed between the two, stopped the meaningless fight with his huge body, and reiterated again: "If we want to survive and evacuate here, we must be united! Don't! Let me again! Repeat! Understand? "

popping.

Clap your palms and cheer up and shout: "One, two, the slogan! Who else can I!"

While Radomir cooperated, there was a sense of helplessness: "Who else can I..."

Daniela perfunctory in a low voice: "Who is it to me?"

Timor didn't respond: "..."

When the material is scarce, it can only be maintained by filling the spirit.

In the past few minutes, Xia Tian and Zhiqiong seemed to be watching a farce, being left aside.

One thing is certain, the mental state of these people is not normal.

Especially the one named "Timer", staring at the two of them, there is a kind of ferocity of a beast seeing food.

If it wasn't for this company commander Anton who is still rational and seems to have a certain amount of leadership, he might have faced swords long ago.

They are hungry and exhausted physically and mentally.

This is not surprising.

The first time the layered rock abyss was closed was a few years ago. At that time, a part of the Qianyan army and the fools were left behind to cooperate in research.

And a few months ago, when the rock was completely sealed, it was the time when Liyue and the Fools broke up, so naturally they would not kindly remind and rescue them.

Trapped for several months, all the supplies that can be found have been exhausted, and it is a miracle in itself to breathe... I believe that there have been many evil situations of brother-in-law killing inside.

After shouting the slogan, Anton returned to Xia Tian.

"Alas... I'm so sorry, our command network experienced a small... glitch..."

As the acting company commander, he has to worry about the face of Zhidong Kingdom, and he is still trying to find suitable words to cover up the embarrassment at the moment.

But Daniela was angry: ""Little"! "Fault"? ! "

"Danila!" Anton was really angry, calling out his name almost threateningly.

The predicament has been going on for several months, and there is a life that is hard to see in front of him, and there must be no one to make trouble.

Since Anton can force himself to be the acting company commander amidst many discussions, he naturally has extraordinary strength.

Shocking his subordinates, Anton could no longer tolerate interruptions, and gave a rather long explanation and question to Xia Tian.

"To be honest, you are the first outsider I have seen in several months... I would like to ask, what happened?"

"Why did all the Qianyan Army withdraw? According to the covenant, we further investigated the stratum rock anomaly, and tried to slow down the spread of the black mud...but when we looked back, we found that everyone had disappeared!"

"According to the agreement, Liyue should send us food... We are fighting for them! We should be allies! But they abandoned us without saying a word!"

"..."

He spoke a little excitedly and clenched his fists.

Xia Tian could guess that these people didn't know what happened at all, and answered briefly: "There are no "allies" now, and even Li Yue and Zhi Dong are still on the verge of severing diplomatic relations. "

"We were betrayed by the Liyue people!" Timor immediately became angry.

Chao Zhiqiong, who couldn't even get angry, waved his fist, and was immediately pushed back by Xia Tian with ease.

Zhiqiong was also very angry: "Betrayal? It's obviously you! You fools summoned the Great Demon God to attack Liyue Port, you fools invaded our property, you fools have been doing evil everywhere for so many years! You are all a bunch of villains!"

Daniela retorted: "Are you kidding... We are here to protect the Liyue people! Remember what the captain said before departure? This expedition has nothing to do with any small calculations and conspiracy!"

The most experienced Radomir and Anton were silent.

He believes in the purity of his mission, but he also believes that there are many conspiracies in the upper echelon...

If the conspiracy is revealed, it is only natural that these little people like myself will be implicated or abandoned.

The two looked at each other, the thoughts conveyed in the eyes: have we been abandoned?

"So..." Anton was surprised, but he could understand, and murmured softly, "In order to assist in more meaningful adventures, Master "Rooster" will naturally abandon relatively low-value assets. This is his rationality..."

But not everyone can be so rational.

Timor yelled: "What about now? We didn't get any order, so we still have to stay in this place? No one will come to rescue us! There are no supplies! If we don't evacuate, we will only have a dead end!"

Anton was not fooled by loyal ministers, and immediately gave a clear plan: "Okay, I understand... I have decided that we need to evacuate here, the sooner the better."

"But, there is no order from the executive officer..." Radomir frowned, and went out without an order. No one knew what was waiting for them.

Anton shook his head. Although he was only the acting company commander, he had already carried the lives and deaths of the team members on his shoulders: "It's okay, I will take all the responsibility. If there are deserters among us... If there are deserters, let the ninth company Shame on me, that deserter is me, and only me."

These words made Timor and Daniela, who had always looked down upon him, look at each other: "But how do we get out? Now that we have broken up, Liyue and the others will definitely not let us out easily, right? Otherwise, they wouldn't do it on purpose. No notification! They just want to starve us to death!"

Radomir is a veteran, and honor is the most important thing. With the little remaining strength, he punched the wooden pillar with a fist: "Damn it! We came to protect the Liyue people from the "black disaster", but now we are going to die leave! "

Of course Zhiqiong couldn't bear to keep talking about Liyue, "Liyue people don't need your protection, and Liyue people don't welcome you either!"

After listening to Zhiqiong's words, Anton sighed helplessly, knowing that the fools are now in the position of everyone shouting and beating.

Looking at Xia Tian: "I can feel that you are extraordinary... Could you please help us? Liyue definitely doesn't welcome us now, but we have to go through Liyue...Will Liyue agree? We don't I don’t want to have any more disputes with the Qianyan Army.”

"should be no problem."

Xia Tian answered quickly, Ning Zhiqiong was puzzled: "Senior! How can you trust them!"

"Although the Fools and Liyue have deep conflicts, the two sides are now trying to ease the relationship. As long as they don't continue to do things that violate Liyue's safety, I believe Qixing will not be particularly embarrassed."

It's not Rosalin's request, but Xia Tian is willing to believe what these people said.

They are all so hungry that they are delirious. It is impossible for them to make up nonsense in unison, right?

"That's really great!" Anton put his hand on his chest and hammered the hammer: "I guarantee on the honor of the Ninth Special Company that we will never do anything to hurt Liyue."

"Yeah." Xia Tian nodded and took the initiative to lead the way: "Let's go, go back to the camp first, there should be a lot of food there, if you have a better attitude, maybe you will be willing to share some first."

Anton was surprised.

In the past few months, food is synonymous with life, and even because of this, bloody battles have occurred with different troops of fools.

Now, someone is willing to take the initiative to share, really emotional.

"Willing to share our food... Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome, I also have something to ask you."

Before returning to the camp, Xia Tian grasped a few doubtful points in the conversation just now, and started a detailed inquiry.

"You said that you are the subordinates of "Rooster", did he send you to the Layer Rock Abyss? "

"Rooster", I haven't seen it in Xia Tian, ​​but I know from various sources that it is a very powerful executive.

Unlike the "lady", a tool person who doesn't care about anything and only listens to the queen.

It's not like "Young Master", the youngest who is inexperienced and stupid and doesn't know anything.

"Rooster" should be one of the core members of the executive team, and it is necessary to understand it in detail.

Anton knew his humble status and could not disclose any important information at all, so he told everything in detail.

"We followed the orders of Lord 'Rooster' and followed Lord 'Madam'..."

"This was a long time ago. Just after the place was closed, we found Liyue's Seven Stars..."

"In the beginning, everyone was able to negotiate well... Ms. Ma'am also negotiated a few trade agreements that are beneficial to both parties. "

"It was originally one of the additional conditions for the advance troops of the fools to enter the stratum rock abyss... We came here to investigate and eliminate the source of the mutation."

"All the information obtained from our investigation will be shared fairly by Zhidong Kingdom and Liyue."

"..."

Zhiqiong was cautious, and asked: "Do you have any other goals?"
