Ishikawa Goemon stood in front of everyone, the Zantetsu sword in his hand slowly pulled out of its wooden sheath, shining a cold light in the dark passage.
From the start of tonight's battle until now, he has not had a chance to make a move.
In other words, it used to be a battlefield with hot weapons, and he, a master who only knew how to play with cold weapons, couldn't get involved, so he could only sit cross-legged on a tree with his eyes closed and meditate.
Seeing everyone's performance, he also felt a bit hungry and wanted to find something to chop with.
And now, these Mi-Goos are the best targets for knife training.
He rushed into the dark passage alone. Several soldiers resting next to him saw this and hurriedly stood up and went to help, but were stopped by Lupine III.
"If you don't want to be a disservice, you'd better not go there..."
As soon as Lupine the Third finished speaking, Ishikawa Goemon's wild voice sounded in the passage.
"Ha ha……"
A few rays of cold light flashed through, and the sharp sound of Fruit Ninja cutting fruit came from the dark passage, and then there was the sound of something between solid and soft falling to the ground.
By the time everyone came to their senses, Ishikawa Goemon had already walked back from the darkness with a knife.
"Chopped some boring things again..."
Ishikawa Goemon's classic mantra, coupled with the song "How Invincible Is, How Lonely" is used as the BGM, and it becomes even more interesting.
This scene is already accustomed to Qin Zhibo, Lu Bang and others.
But for other soldiers who had never seen Ishikawa Goemon take action, it was quite a shock.
In fact, from the time they were in the camp, many soldiers noticed this swordsman who was wearing a kimono and was dressed in a rather retro style.
When building the base camp, he closed his eyes and meditated.
During the mobilization in front of the station, he closed his eyes and meditated.
When the battle started, he still meditated with his eyes closed.
Although no one said anything, the OS was highly unified inside.
In what age are you still using swords?
Now everyone uses guns! Guns!
If you use a sword, no wonder you meditate; if you use a sword, you are not qualified to participate in this battle...
However, now, all doubts have been dispelled, and no one dares to doubt Ishikawa Goemon's qualifications.
…
After the rest, the team continues to move forward.
The crowd had not walked a few meters when they passed by Mi Go's corpse, which had been chopped into several pieces by Ishikawa Goemon. A few sharp cuts, without any other unnecessary damage, were enough to kill this alien creature.
Compared with modern bullets, the close range damage of traditional weapons is actually higher, and the effect on MiG is also more obvious.
But there are not many people who can practice swordsmanship to this level like Ishikawa Goemon.
Keep walking along the main road and pass two branch paths on the way.
Following the same process, 15 people were sent to search inside, but no abnormalities were found.
And from here on, there are fewer rat corpses, and they should all be dead.
But strangely, as we gradually entered the depths of the mine, we didn't encounter any more sneak attacks, and the journey was uneventful.
This made the soldiers relax their vigilance, wondering whether they had killed all Mi Go.
But Qin Zhibo knew that the number of Mi Ge was far more than that.
If they didn't set an ambush in the passage, the only possibility is that they are all concentrated in the deepest part of the mine.
It's probably going to be a tough battle...
…
Gradually, the team is getting closer and closer to the deepest part of the mine.
According to Lupine III's description, the innermost part of this mine is a rather large semicircular cave, with a sharp cone mine about ten meters high standing in the middle.
The Vispa ore exists in this mine, but because the Uyghur side does not have a method to distinguish the ore from ordinary stones, it has never been successfully mined.
Yes, the Vespagna ore has actually never been mined by humans from the beginning.
Vespaña discovered the existence of ore and also discovered that instruments near the mine would absorb electromagnetic waves, confirming that there was an unknown ore in the mine.
It is speculated that this ore cannot be detected by radar, so it is also called "invisible ore".
Since it is an invisible ore, it is naturally extremely difficult to mine. Weifang tried their best but failed to mine a piece of invisible ore.
But the last time Lupine III broke in, he used two metal sticks, a prop called the "Dragon-Seeking Ruler" in China, to successfully find a fist-sized piece of invisible ore.
It's just that this piece of ore was stolen from Lupine by Fujiko Mine, and when he used it to steal the Queen's Crown, it was taken back by Mi Go who was disguised as a guard.
Mi Go really doesn’t miss any piece of ore...
Qin Zhibo had talked about this issue with Mr. Clock before. Why is Mi. Ge so obsessed with ores?
However, Mr. Clock did not reveal too much, only saying that this is the most important link for the Mi-Go family to expand the entire universe.
As the death squads gradually approached the final cave, everyone slowed down, turned off the searchlights, and turned on the night vision function of the multifunctional combat helmet.
With the blessing of yellow-green vision, everyone could vaguely see that the long passage ended abruptly in front, and the "door"-shaped black hole was filled with deeper darkness.
Kudo Yusaku directed the formation of troops through the radio. Instead of using infantry + plastic explosion-proof shields as the front row, everyone dispersed to both sides of the passage, leaving most of the area in the middle out of the way.
If M.G. deployed heavy troops in the cave, and countless electro-optical balls released by electric guns flew over, the plastic shield would be melted by the high temperature even if it could not block it for a few times.
All soldiers on both sides of the passage crouched down to further reduce the possibility of being shot.
Qin Zhibo also squatted down like the soldiers in front, and Conan squatted down behind Qin Zhibo.
Finally got to this point...
Along the way, Conan faced this dark and depressing environment without much emotion.
But now, facing the upcoming decisive battle, Conan couldn't help but clenched his little hands, and a few drops of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
As the famous "Death Schoolboy" and "Killing Street Slut" in Mihua, Conan not only brings death from house to house, but he also often walks on the tip of the murderer's knife.
However, Conan was able to save the day from danger many times by relying on his excellent operations and his calm brain in times of crisis.
But only this time, he really felt unprecedented pressure, and he couldn't even show the confident smile that showed him fearlessness in the face of challenges and dangers.
There is only absolute seriousness on Conan's little face now.
This is not an ordinary case, but a life-and-death war!
This is related to the life and death of many people, as well as whether he and Qin Zhibo can return to the original world, and whether Xiaolan in this world can get her brain back...
But fortunately, such an arduous task is not all entrusted to him alone.
Fighting alongside him were familiar strangers from this world, soldiers from Vespania, and...
Conan looked at the solid figure squatting in front of him.
This back was like an insurmountable mountain, doubling the sense of security in his heart.
Qin Zhibo, as long as he doesn't fall, he is absolutely safe...
Based on my experience during the time I met this man, this man always has a way to solve any adversity he faces.
Thinking of this, Conan's solemn little face finally showed a comforting smile.
I myself will fight without any regrets...
His right hand quietly reached towards the ground and turned on the knob on the right side of the foot strength-enhancing shoe. Light blue arcs radiated on the upper part of the shoe.
At the same time, press the other hand on the football launcher, which has already been filled with a new football. It is an ordinary football that was deflated and put in. It still works, but the inflating effect is slightly worse.
The soldier squatting behind glanced down: Huh? Why is the electric light coming out of the ground?
Qin Zhibo from the front: Why does my rear butt feel so cold?
At this moment, Yusaku Kudo issued an order on the radio.
"Throw!"
The soldiers in front threw burning sticks into the cave. The bright sticks spun several times in the air and fell to the ground in the cave, like blooming red flowers.
In an instant, a lot of visibility was added to the previously invisible cave.
However, within the scope, except for the earthy yellow ground and a large number of scattered stones, no abnormal shapes were seen.
Um?
Everyone was stunned.
The people in the front were surprised because they found no target to attack, and the people in the back were surprised that there was no attack in the front.
"No trace of alien creatures found..."
The soldier at the head of the platoon risked his life by sticking his head out to observe, and then sticking his head back out to report.
Everyone heard this report through the public channel and found it incredible.
"Are you sure there is nothing?" Yusaku Kudo asked from far away in the command center.
"Um……"
Another soldier cautiously poked his head out. Except for the pitch black where the burning rod was not thrown, nothing could be seen clearly. There was not a single Mi-Go within the visible range.
"Keep throwing incendiary sticks."
The soldiers in front threw more incendiary rods, and this time they acted a little bolder, throwing the incendiary rods into those dark corners.
However, there was nothing suspicious on the ground except for the gravel everywhere.
"still none."
After receiving such an answer, Kudo Yusaku started thinking in his mind.
Could it be that Mi Ge has really moved all the ores away?
But if that's the case, why attack the Queen's coronation ceremony to delay time?
The same question was also being pondered by "Conan" who was standing nearby with a serious face and his chin raised.
While Kudo and his son were deep in thought, a new discovery came from the soldier on the radio.
"There seems to be something in the middle..."
"have what?"
Bah...the sound of the burning rod burning.
"It seems like...a door?"
"Door?"
On the underground mine side, the soldiers in front looked at the center of the cave in disbelief.
The red light emitted by the burning rod thrown nearby illuminated the two solid door pillars. The area where the two pillars extended upward became darker and darker, but it was still possible to distinguish that it was an arched door.
The door stands in the center of the cave, replacing the location where the mine was originally, and it looks very strange.
Kudo Yusaku quickly asked: "What's behind the door?"
The soldier stared at it carefully for a long time and said, "It seems to be empty."
An empty door?
Qin Zhibo, who was squatting among the death squads, heard these descriptions of the new discoveries in full and couldn't help but think secretly in his heart.
Have aliens also learned to ridicule?
Does this mean that humans have failed?
Qin Zhibo frowned, feeling that this should have some meaning, but no one knew it except Mi Ge.
At this moment, Lupine III, who had been squatting behind him, couldn't help himself.
"Since you don't find anything unusual, just go in quickly~"
Lupine III stood up swaggeringly and walked in the middle of the passage, not afraid of a lightning ball suddenly flying in front of him.
"Hello……"
Daisuke Jigen called softly from behind, but to no avail, he could only stand up and follow him while holding on to his hat.
Ishikawa Goemon and Zenagata Koichi also followed behind, with no fear on their faces.
The soldier looked at the group of four walking in the middle in disbelief. It can only be said that the talented people are bold.
The four of them walked into the cave, turned on the flashlight and looked around. After checking, they found no trace of Mi Ge.
"safe!"
"There's nothing in there!"
Hearing this, the soldiers who had been nervous behind him breathed a sigh of relief and walked into the cave one after another.
After the mine disappeared, the area in the cave seemed extremely large. Even if everyone in the death squad came in, they would feel a little empty.
The beams of flashlights swept across the ground, but no mice or Mi-go's bodies were found, only gravel scattered on the ground.
According to Lupine III's description, there used to be a small mine here. Mi. Go should have completely smashed the mine to pieces and extracted the useful ores inside, leaving behind the debris all over the ground.
But why leave a door open?
Qin Zhibo walked straight to the center of the cave and examined the door carefully.
Under the multiple illumination of burning rods, flashlights and other light sources, the complete shape of the door is revealed.
This is an arched door about 4 meters high and 3 meters wide. From a distance, the surface of the rock has a layer of strange dark curves that resemble inscriptions.
Qin Zhibo took out his nuclear lighter, moved it to the surface of the door to examine it carefully, and found that it was not an obscure inscription, but the traces of countless rocks spliced together.
This arched door is neither made of large rocks, nor is it carved from a whole huge rock. It is actually made up of countless pieces of broken rocks combined in an unknown way.
Qin Zhibo frowned slightly, walked around to the other side of the door, and found an investigation point.
【Topographic Survey√】
[There is a fist-sized hole here, and it seems that something was originally embedded in it]
As described in the survey information, there is a small pit on the other side of the door. It is a pit formed on the surface because the scattered stones are not compacted together.
Or what should have been stuffed inside...
Conan next to him looked at the door made of stones in front of him, thinking deeply in his heart.
Could this be made of ore?
Just when everyone was confused, a soldier suddenly had a sudden idea and shined the light of his flashlight directly above the cave.
I saw dozens of dark, round holes evenly distributed on the high dome.
"Then, what is that?!"
The soldier raised his hand and pointed upward.
The next second, several blue electric light balls flew out from the dark holes, instantly burning the soldier's body to black!
