In the eyes of the surrounding people, Ding Meng's punch was fast enough, but the problem was that when the punch landed, the opponent's chest was no longer there, and the person was no longer there.
Mao Luan was already standing three meters behind Ding Meng, carrying a backpack in his hand. It was Ding Meng's glittering backpack.
John could not help but whisper, "His speed is really fast."
"Yes!" Du Mo also nodded.
At the moment when Ding Meng punched, Mao Luan had a reaction. He turned around and took the backpack from Ding Meng's shoulder. Then he flashed behind Ding Meng. The whole action was smooth and did not take more than a second.
Only Du Mo could see it clearly. The people around him did not know what was going on.
At this time, Mao Luan opened the backpack and looked down: "Oh, boy, you really came prepared."
In the end, he was still not at ease with Ding Meng. You were a surprise worker, you had a Sirius backpack, and you could wear such a high-end wrist device. These factors added together would make people suspicious.
But now that the backpack was opened, there was nothing inside. Mao Luan was relieved. This kid obviously prepared in advance and left enough space in the backpack. He was determined to come here to mine for gold.
"Go down!" Mao Luan threw the backpack back to Ding Meng.
He thought that he was smart enough to test Ding Meng. Before getting off the ship, all the things in the backpack were transferred to Meng Yan's backpack, including the ancient sword and the claw knife. Ding Meng did not have many things on him now.
Moreover, Mao Luan's actions were completely in slow motion in his eyes. He did not care at all.
At this time, the shuttle ladder of the Fugui Bird Company had been raised. John politely stretched out his hand: "Mr. Du, please!"
Du Mo reluctantly stepped forward. He could not observe Ding Meng anymore. At least it was not good to stay for a long time. If he stayed on the ground for too long, it would inevitably arouse Mao Luan's suspicion.
Hardedef did not follow Du Mo into the shuttle ladder, but stayed on the ground and continued to wait for the next referrer to arrive.
After the alloy door closed, the shuttle ladder began to descend rapidly. The walls of the shuttle ladder were made of high-grade crystalline plates, and the outside could be seen from the inside.
In Du Mo's eyes, the underground city was a twisted world, like the underground command center of the Flying Star City. Countless buildings covered the walls, and the streets were crisscrossed. The pedestrians on the streets looked hurried. All kinds of aircrafts were flying here and there, too. If one did not raise their head to look at the sky, the underground city was no different from the cities on the ground of the Federation.
However, such a space flashed past Du Mo's eyes every few minutes. The shuttle ladder had been descending for a long time, but it was still emerging. It showed how large the number and scale of these underground cities in Cypress Ancient Star were.
Du Mo suddenly turned on his wristband and opened his contact list. Hua's face quickly appeared on the screen. "Brother Mo?"
Du Mo said indifferently, "Are they still on the ground?
Can you contact the Skynet space station on Blue Moon? "
Hua replied affirmatively, "Yes!"
Du Mo said, "That's good. I want to investigate a person now. His name is Wild Wolf. He is a laborer. He used to work in the Black Gold Base under the jurisdiction of the K7 Surprise Attack Mercenary Group. I want all the details of this person. Remember, tell them not to check in the refugee camp system. Pull up the file from the big database, including the relevant information, and send it to me by email."
Hua immediately replied, "Understood, got it!"
After notifying Ah Hua, Du Mo switched to the hologram. His fingers flipped through the screen. This time, he was not browsing through the address book, but the news of the Saint Federation. This was a piece of news that had been circulating for a long time, but he still flipped through it. The title of the news was not eye-catching, but his eyes seemed to be particularly spellbound. "More than 40,000 people dead. Space pirates rampant. Human Rights Association protests again. Who should be responsible for the tragedy of planet KV303?"
After a long time, he turned off his wristband with a click. This was because the shuttle ladder made a prompt. They would arrive at the underground mine in one minute.
When Du Mo arrived, Ding Meng also arrived.
This mine of Fugui Bird Company was obviously different from the dark and primitive place of the Black Gold Base. This was a central hall full of technological aura, no different from the command center on a battleship.
In the east, west, and north of the square hall, there were three identical giant tunnels. Inside, there were conveyor belts constantly transporting dirt and waste. On the south wall, there was a 10-meter-high electronic screen, which showed the development map of the entire mine and the relevant rewards obtained by the miners.
Ding Meng glanced at it. There were as many as 5,631 miners mining in each area. The person who ranked first on the leaderboard was called Qian Zhenghong, with 1,231 points.
These points were probably the reward provided by the Extreme Pirate Troop, but he did not know what the specific reward was.
In the center of the hall, there was a building that looked like a simple bungalow. This was the on-site appraisal station of Fugui Bird Company. If the miners dug up anything valuable, they would directly use their wristbands to mark it with their personal crystal light and put it on the conveyor belt. After the experts of Fugui Bird Company appraised it, the corresponding points would be given in the system.
At this time, Ding Meng had fully activated his telekinesis vision. At the same time, he also used Little Rascal's detection system and Xiao Ai's observation vision. After looking carefully for a while, he knew what was going on. Then, he walked to the center of the hall unhurriedly.
There was already a staff member with a portable optical computer waiting there. The staff member was a sweet-looking beauty. The beauty flipped through the screen and then showed a professional smile. "Welcome to Fugui Bird Company, Mr. Wolf. Please collect your toolbox."
The toolbox was an anti-gravity mini satchel, which contained all kinds of digging tools. The standard configuration was: laser rangefinder, semi-automatic crystal energy digging ruler, hand-held mini drill, miniature dazzling light grabber...
This configuration was obviously much better than the treatment of the miners in the Black Gold Base. Of course, the most classic shovels, shovels, hoes, and other tools were indispensable. In addition, there were also minuscule digging tools such as eyelets, carvings, and carvings.
Obviously, the valuable minerals could not be dug up casually. They had to be carefully and manually processed. That was why they were equipped with these tools.
Such toolboxes were piled up in the open space. There were hundreds of them, and they were piled up into a small hill.
Unexpectedly, Ding Meng did not even look at them. He walked straight to the north passage. "I don't need these."
The beauty was stunned. This was the first time she had seen a miner who did not need tools. Did you dig with your hands?
Of course, she did not know that when it came to mining, Ding Meng could be said to be an authoritative expert in this field. Moreover, he did not intend to do it himself.
The terrain of the mining area was not complicated. Ding Meng took a few turns and came to a huge pit. This place was different from the hall outside. First of all, there were a lot of people. There were groups of coolies here and there. Ding Meng had experience in this area. Although these people were scattered, they were actually different forces in this underground world. They did not disturb each other.
Secondly, this pit with a diameter of 300 meters was dug very carefully. It gradually spread out in a fan shape. Under normal circumstances, it would be narrower and narrower with manpower. When dozens of people were gathered in one place, it was inevitable that there would be disputes. However, this pit was getting wider and wider. Obviously, everyone had reached a consensus in advance. It also proved that the professional standards of the coolies here were not low.
After Ding Meng opened his telekinetic vision and observed for a while, he went straight to an inconspicuous corner. There were five coolies there. Four of them were young, and only one of them was slightly older, about 50 years old. This person was not using the equipment provided by the Fugui Bird Company. Instead, he was using a drilling machine that looked like a thermos flask.
However, the five of them were now sitting in a circle on the ground. Behind them was a huge piece of rough rock. Those who were experienced could naturally tell that these people had dug to a dead end. There was no point in going any further.
However, there must be an unspoken rule below. If you chose the other party, you had to finish digging even if you had tears in your eyes. You must not occupy other people's territory.
Ding Meng simply laid his cards on the table. "I'm new here."
One of the young men suddenly stood up vigilantly. "What?"
"Nothing. I just want to ask you guys for help."
As Ding Meng spoke, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket. This was obviously a pack of cigarettes that he had cheated from the four-eyed man and the Russian.
Cigarettes were still considered a luxury among the mercenaries in outer space because they were rarely sold on the market. This was especially true for an old brand like Red Plum. Even in the Federation's jurisdiction, it was not easy to buy cigarettes. It was not difficult to understand why the four-eyed man and the Russian would fight to the death for this old Red Plum every time.
Now, there was no need to fight. It was directly confiscated by Ding Meng.
Now that the cigarettes were in the hands of the young man, he was too embarrassed to say anything.
After Ding Meng scattered a circle of smoke, he introduced himself to the younger man. "Wild Wolf. I used to do this on the K7 system."
"Li Zhao, freelance mercenary." The other party had already lit the cigarette, so his attitude was still polite. "How can I help you, Brother Wolf?"
As soon as he introduced himself, Little Rascal quickly gave him the relevant information. "Li Zhao, ranked 3894th on the leaderboard. Accumulated points: 423."
This ranking and accumulated points showed that this group's progress was not smooth, so the bonus reward they received was definitely relatively small.
Ding Meng could not help but laugh. "Not really. I just want to join the group."
"Join the group?" The young man from earlier sneered. "What makes you think you can do that?"
He had a reason to doubt Ding Meng. Ding Meng did not even bring a toolbox, so what made him think he could join?
Ding Meng replied faintly, "As I said just now, I used to specialize in this."
"Brother Wolf."
Li Zhao puffed out a mouthful of smoke. He only asked because of the red plum blossom. "We're already full, but you don't look like someone who's bragging. If you want to join us, you should at least offer something, right?"
"Let's make a bet."
Ding Meng turned on his wristwatch and showed the trading system. "If you win, these 5000 star coins are yours."
The coolies in the mining area were all single people who could not tolerate sand in their eyes. When they saw the money, their eyes immediately lit up. Li Zhao's eyes narrowed into a line. "Oh?
What kind of bet? "
