Mecha Xinghai

Chapter 40 The Road
At this time, Qian Jiu sent another message.

"This monitoring equipment has been in disrepair for a long time and has been damaged."

"..."

Seeing this information, Liu Shu heaved a sigh of relief.

Then he said angrily, "Can't you finish talking at once!"

"No, I need a breather."

"You...you are a creature?!"

"Insufficient authority, no comment."

Willow then asked suspiciously, "Is there surveillance on the way here?"

"No."

"There's an answer so soon!" He was puzzled, "I didn't ask you to scan it on the way here, how did you know?"

"This system doesn't like being peeped by people, and it gives priority to detecting monitoring equipment in unfamiliar environments."

Hearing this, Liu Shu asked dissatisfiedly, "Since it has been tested, why are you charging me for it?"

"Detection requires energy."

Willow shook his head, too lazy to talk to him.

He continued to retreat, and after exiting the platform, he planned to go back along the same path.

Just took two steps, the willow tree stopped again, because he saw his footprints, the footprints when he came over.

"Qian Jiu, can you eliminate the traces of my visit?"

“物理痕迹消除，0.5卡1米；化学痕迹消除，0.7卡1米；能量痕迹消除，0.8卡1米……”

Seeing this, Liu Shu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but still bit the bullet and asked, "How much energy is needed for 1 meter to eliminate all the traces on the road I walked?"

"1 meter 2 cards."

Willow then asked, "How many meters is the way here?"

"3216 meters"

"That's about 6500 calories of energy!" Willow opened his eyes wide. "In this situation, where should I go to get so much energy?"

New information appeared, “Loans available.”

"Wait for me here!" Liu Shu understood, "That's not enough, your upper limit is 3000, and there's still more than 3000 left!"

"Your credit limit has been raised to 20000 cards."

"Promoted! Why?"

"Sufficient reserves."

This answer reminded Liu Shu of Qian Jiu's energy in the mouse hole.

He couldn't help sighing, "I'm so impressed with your professionalism that you never forget to cheat me!"

"Borrow it, borrow 7000. No one can find out that I have been here, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Liu Shu thought that there were more than 7000 energy mines dug during this period, and because they were inconvenient to carry, they were all placed in Gu's house, which was enough to repay the money, so he agreed to borrow.

After paying the payment, the panel changed, showing the map when he came, and the road that Willow walked was marked in red, while the place where he was standing now was green.

Willow looked at the image, thought for a while, and understood that the green color indicated that the traces had been removed.

So he cautiously walked back to the small platform, walked over the place he had just walked, and then walked out of the platform again and returned along the same road.

After a while, when he walked through the hole leading to the rat's nest again, all the red on the map disappeared, and a total of 6524 calories of energy were consumed.

"Continue to move forward, do you want to eliminate the traces?" Willow stopped and thought, "There are also traces on the road from the rat hole, and it takes too much energy to eliminate them! If you continue to eliminate them, the traces will reach the river. No more, I can't explain it! Forget it, let's stop here!"

"I hope there is a way out in this direction, otherwise we will have to risk taking the river!"

So the willow tree continued to walk forward, leaving footprints on the road.

On the way, Liu Shu thought of something, and asked Qian Jiu suspiciously, "During the mouse hole, the situation was so urgent that you asked me to touch the energy stone in the middle. Just now at the bonanza, there was so much energy, Why didn't you let me rush up and grab it?"

"I won't let you die."

"Why? You have always treated me with an attitude that can be changed after death!"

"Born in sorrow and died in peace."

"What do you mean? It means to keep putting pressure on me so that I can improve?"

"..."

"Forget it if you don't answer, it's enough to know that you won't let me die on purpose!"

Then Liu Shu realized something, "You just said that sending them up meant sending them to death. Can you tell how strong they are?"

"There are at least 3 mech masters within the range of sight."

"3! Mecha master! It's only within the range of sight!" Willow was very surprised.

On the 23rd, there is only one mecha division, the patrol leader, in the entire mine. There are three in a small square here. This protection is too strong!
"Huh? Is there no charge for the information this time?" Willow asked curiously when he didn't receive any payment inquiry this time.

"Deduct 150 cards for the information fee."

"..."

Willow shook his head, "I have to keep my mouth shut in the future, and I can't ask this kind of question! So far, I have spent a lot of energy because of talking too much!"

Willow kept walking, and in the silent space, apart from the sound of the river, there was only the sound of his mech's footsteps.

After returning to the entrance of the cave just now, for the sake of safety, he had already sat on the mech again.

The road here is not easy to walk, there are many rocks.

Walking and walking, it didn't take long to see the end.

"That's the end! There's no other way? Do I have to jump into the river or hunt the miner?"

Not reconciled, Willow continued to walk along the road, carefully searching every inch of the area.

"Huh?" He made a discovery.

I saw a large pile of new gravel behind a huge rock, mixed with some energy mines and new soil, which looked significantly different from the surrounding stones.

"Are these stones the rubble that blocked the road after the previous explosion? Someone pushed them down to clear the road?"

Willow looked up, and there seemed to be dim lights in the extreme distance.

He recalled the distance and direction he had traveled, thought about it carefully, and felt that this guess was probably correct.

"If that's the case, I can climb up from here, and I can go back to the mine I was mining before!" Willow thought happily.

But he had to confirm this guess again, so he asked Qian Jiu, "Qian Jiu, can you distinguish the ore? Are these gravels from the mine where I mine?"

"No gravel resolution."

Willow frowned and thought, "I can't tell the difference! Then I have to think about it and decide not to climb up from here. I've almost run out of nutrients. If climbing up is not the way back, it will be troublesome!"

At this time, a new message appeared on the panel.

"It can distinguish the composition of energy mines."

"Can you finish it all at once!" Liu Shu was very dissatisfied, but still smiled.

He ran to the pile of rubble, picked up a relatively large energy mine, and said to Willow, "Let's test it!"

With this sound, the power stone quickly lost its luster and turned into a piece of slag.

"I want you to detect, not absorb." Willow said sharply.

"Cannot be detected without absorption."

"..."

Willow seemed to understand something, "Absorb, that is, eat it, so you want to taste the taste to be different!"

"This energy composition is 95% similar to the ghost energy ore."

Hearing this conclusion, Willow smiled, "Xiao Heizi said before that the energy stone content of my mine site is higher than other areas. Now the energy distribution is very similar, and there is another pile of fresh gravel. It is almost certain that this place is in the The ghost is worrying about the bottom."

So Liu Shu made up his mind, "Try, if you don't go up with such a high probability, you will be a fool!"

But soon, Willow frowned again, "How to get up?"
