The tired team walked on the Biki Plateau in the early morning, and from time to time, light yellow grass, black gravel sea, dry riverbeds appeared in front of and behind them, and occasionally the bones of dead beasts could be seen.

As Dongfang Yu judged, the index mark of the radiation detector is indeed high, but it does not exceed the level that the human body can bear. This is a very lucky thing. Another lucky thing is that the existence of these radiations, neither the Federation nor the Empire sent ground troops to this wasteland. As for whether there are engineering mechas deep in the plateau being dug, it is something they cannot understand now.

For people, the real danger now is the blazing sunshine. Shortly after the morning, it instantly forced out the high temperature of the body's moisture, and then there was a sky that seemed a little strange without a trace of clouds. The bright light from the blue dome sprinkled like a water curtain, bounced back in contact with the black gravel ground, slightly distorted in the near-ground area, making the picture far ahead feel a layer of unreality.

Xiong Linquan reached out to wipe the salt line from his jaw, gasped and looked at a shallow mine tunnel entrance hundreds of meters away in front of him, and ordered with a hoarse voice: "Everyone enter."

In order to delay the speed of federal military satellites discovering traces as much as possible, and to guard against attacks from the air, their team has been choosing to lie down at night after entering the plateau. After the early morning, they must find mines that can hide their traces in the shortest time.

Although the radiation index in the mine is higher, it can still be supported, and they must take this risk, otherwise, if a federal fighter plane comes, the entire team will be explained on this deserted plateau.

This abandoned mine pit was obviously not in use for a long time. The alloy support members in the tunnel still shone brightly after erasing the floating ash on the surface. Xu Le squinted his eyes and looked at the smooth metal surface under his fingers, thinking about something.

After a moment of silence, he turned around and looked at the team members who were extremely tired and said, "Everyone has two more days to hold on. As long as you arrive at the Golan Heights, there will be a boat to pick us up."

After entering the plateau, with the help of Gu Xifeng, he had several intermittent contacts with Philip outside the atmosphere, and discussed plans to withdraw Mo Huaxing, so he was more confident.

"You must make sure that you are not an imperial man's ship." Dongfang said in a mute voice as he stared at his face.

"I promise that it is definitely not a ship of the empire." Xu Le replied.

Gu Xifeng was injecting Da Vinci infusion, and suddenly turned around and asked curiously: "Boss, was it the one that was very arrogant back then and gave the middle finger on the Capital Special Administrative Region?"

"Yes."

Xu Le replied with a smile, then threw the marching backpack on his body to Paul, and he sat down next to Dongfang Yu stretcher, silently looking at him, without speaking for a long time.

Silence often represents a clear attitude, but Xiong Linquan is obviously willing to choose a more direct way. He stared at Dongfang Yu's face and said, "This plateau, radiation, and these obviously new mine channels, Dongfang, do you still have something to say?"

Dongfang Yu was silent for a long time, then coughed in pain twice, shook his head and said, "I don't know much. I only know that there should be a strange vein under the shallow graphite mines on the plateau. I have never seen or even heard of the ores produced there. I only know that they have strong harmful radiation."

I don’t know if I recalled some very unpleasant scenes, but his eyebrows were frowned vigorously and said hoarsely: “More than two years ago, Ntr was responsible for escorting the engineering mecha into this plateau. Since it was a top-secret mission, you don’t know that in fact, the team I led back then had sufficient radiation prevention measures, but afterwards, two team members still suffered from severe radiation diseases. I heard that they died shortly after they entered the warship.”

"The radiation is so strong? What is that?"

The team members turned their heads in shock and looked at Xu Le. They were used to finding answers directly from him when they encountered such a problem.

"There are many natural radiation elements in the universe, but it is rare to form veins. But in my opinion, the focus of the question is why the Federation mines such veins and what is their purpose?"

"I don't know that people who can come back from the ground alive have signed confidentiality agreements, and I think I'm lucky enough to not want to ask about these questions."

Dongfang Yu frowned and replied, "But one thing I can remind you is that this task was an order issued directly by the Ministry of National Defense, and it did not even pass through the headquarters."

"At that time, Du Shaoqing was still the commander, and there was only one person in the entire federal military who could bypass him and act on the Mohua Planet."

Xu Le shook his head and said, "But since you know about this, did Du Shaoqing not have any questions about it? Others dare not ask Li Zaidao, he must have dared."

"I said I signed a confidentiality agreement, and I am no longer a direct subordinate of the division commander. According to the division commander's teachings, I cannot report to him at a higher level."

Xiong Linquan threw away the cigarette butts in his hand and said mockingly: "The kind of person will bring out any kind of soldiers. I don't know if Du Shaoqing regrets teaching you too rigidly."

...

...

The discussion on the strange radiation veins under the Biki Plateau did not go further. For this escape team, their most important and only mission is to survive and then board the ship to pick them up.

The federal military upper class, to be more precise, said General Lee Jae-dao's order to dig that kind of ore was for what kind of considerations, not because they have the energy and ability to consider now. Even if they have the feeling of justice and decide to maintain peace in the universe, they will not be able to go deep into the plateau under such exhaustion and destruction.

“Is it a new alternative energy source or something?”

Xu Le walked to the end of the deep mine corridor and looked at the slightly wet rock wall. He had just felt a little suspicious in his heart and was immediately overturned by himself. According to the radiation intensity described by Dongfang Yu, it was very difficult to turn this ore into a stable and reliable source of energy.

Sitting down by the stretcher, he looked at Da Vinci, who was still in a semi-coma, feeling his longer and steady breathing, and his eyes couldn't help but squint. Why did he not feel any discomfort in this low-intensity radiation environment, but he even felt a little comfortable?

It is hard to describe this feeling. The faint invisible radiation in the rock wall is like layers of warm water waves, wrapping up his body, making every cell excited from the inside out.

After a moment of silence, he gently held Da Vinci's wrist, adjusted his breathing more slowly and gently, slowly released the magical burning power that was scattered somewhere behind his waist, and passed it through his arms carefully and extremely cautiously to Da Vinci's body.
