Volume 1 Chapter 117 General Mobilization Before the War
"This is a mining base, there are a large number of mining passages dug deep underground, you have to enter the control room of this mining base, get their mining materials, and then enter the mining passages to dig up the secret star meteorite."
The expressions of the thirty miners present all changed slightly.
The old man spoke, "If I'm not mistaken, the Mystic Starfall only exists in one environment, a high-radiation environment, and this ore will be accompanied by a high-radiation ore called the Demon Aversion Stone, and normal people will die in three seconds if they are exposed to it. ”
"Yes, we have prepared high-strength protective clothing for this." Zyra nodded.
"Got it." The old man wasn't saying anything.
Zyra continued, "In this operation, there will be special combatants to escort you. ”
Chitaki privately communicated with Phantom, "The Demon Disgust Stone is dangerous? ”
"The Stone of Disgust is a kind of ore with high radiation pollution, and its own radiation dose can cause rapid death of normal people, and there is a small probability that it will not cause death, but it will cause genetic mutations and change shape, but it can be assured that the spore coat can resist this kind of radiation, which can be ignored." Phantom replied.
After Zyra explained, she continued, "I'll go with you personally on this operation. ”
"Isn't this decision a little inconsiderate, Lord Zyra?" The miner in the lead said with a frown.
"That's my obligation, too." Zyra said calmly.
Suddenly there was silence on the field, and Zyra calmed down and continued to speak.
"Now for the rest of the miners, the gatherers who have been selected for Project Hamster are asked to stand and sit in the second row. ”
Rows of gatherers came up and sat in the second row.
Chitaki glanced back, and he saw the kid who had done private work with him last time, and Aina and Jones.
"You need to be responsible for the looting of the Merodial Depot." Zyra is serious about releasing the task little by little.
The meeting lasted eight hours, and everyone present was hungry, but no one complained, and Zyra kept talking about various details and safety precautions after all the tasks were released.
At this time, in the hangar in Area C, a large number of young people gathered, and these young people looked a little frightened, they did not expect that they were also recruited when they were still in the learning stage.
Beside him, a fat man was talking to a gorgeously dressed middle-aged woman with a sad face.
"Mother, save me, I don't want to be drafted."
"Good son, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to transfer you back." The middle-aged woman comforted her son with red eyes, then turned her head to look at her husband and said angrily.
"You don't want to figure out how to do it! Are you really going to send him to his death? ”
A dark-skinned and slightly silent man standing next to him spoke, "Since he chose the Military Academy in the first place, it is a matter of time, and there will always be a first time." ”
"He hasn't graduated yet, he hasn't fully learned anything, isn't this going up to his death?" The middle-aged woman said crying.
"You can't be so ruthless, he didn't learn, so he was thrown directly into the frontal battlefield."
"Enough!" The middle-aged man seemed a little angry.
If it were normally, his wife would have been quiet, but not this time, still crying quietly.
Looking at his crying wife, the man in front of him was also very uncomfortable, and he suppressed his temperament and said.
"It's impossible to transfer back, basically everyone who can participate in the war will participate in the war this time, the people in the reserves, in fact, have been recruited, the proportion of those left behind in the broadcast notice has not been reached at all, and those who remain are basically disabled or instructors, used to train the next generation, our son is fine, at least he is still driving a mecha to the battlefield, you have to know how many of the recruits are individual soldiers."
"But......" The middle-aged woman was still crying.
"You don't have to cry anymore, you must go to the battlefield, I have already transferred him to my side, let him follow me."
Hearing this, the middle-aged woman was finally in a better mood.
There are also many relatives of the trainees gathered around, they are all here to say goodbye, although the operation has not yet begun, but in the remaining days, all the students will carry out the final devilish training to make up for all the deficiencies and improve the survival rate of the battlefield.
In the next few days, the entire Hiboni will be in a very solemn atmosphere.
By the time the meeting ended, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and when Chitaki was about to go back, Zyra spoke.
"You stay, Minister O'Keiri wants to have dinner with you."
Chitaki followed Zyra to the back of the council chamber, where there was a long conference table on which an elaborate dinner was served, and Okhira sat on it with a kind smile.
"Sit, sit."
Chitaki doesn't know why it feels weird, such a hearty dinner.
The gatherers who came in all sat down, and some of them spoke directly.
"Okiri, you kid has always been very picky, what are you doing so generously today."
"Ahem, don't say that, you are all veterans of the miners' department, I am very grateful that you can answer the call, in fact, you are all retired, and you are too old to be called."
"Less nonsense, if you really don't want us to be called, you will write so clearly on the call letter."
"Hehe, none of this matters, it's really up to you this time." Okiri said with a smile.
"Okay, you're doing the right thing, we're all old, we can take it out and use it, and the future will always be left to young people, but why did you answer the call of such a young one." The oldest old man turned his head to look at Chitaki.
"Ahem, this is Mr. Chitaki, although he is young and has not been in the army for a long time, he has a first-class level, so he was also selected." Okiri said with a smile.
Hearing this, the old man was silent for a while and said, "Manpower is so short? ”
"Lack is one thing, failure is one thing, you are all older generation, although you are not a senior officer, but the gatherer is the foundation of the survival of the Hiboni, and there is nothing to hide from you, the Hiberni does not know whether it is to enter the alien coverage area or other reasons, this time has been frequently targeted by the alien race, and now the faster-than-light flight device is damaged, if you can't get the resources to repair or remake it, next time you are targeted, you can only resist."
Okiri replied directly and neatly.
"Got it." The old man replied.
Okiri smiled and raised the wine glass on the table and said, "Don't talk about that, I'll give you a glass, this time I really please." ”
Those present raised their glasses.
"For the Hibony." Okiri said solemnly.
Chitaki drank all the wine in the glass, sat down to eat, he was indeed hungry, as for the future, he didn't have much idea, his father once taught him a sentence in his early years, under the nest, no one can be spared, sometimes not for others but for himself and those close to him.
