Chapter 55: G46 Deep Pit Mysterious Sound

Boom!!

Thunder roared, shaking the heavens.

Under the thick accumulation of rain clouds, heavy rain poured down, continuously washing over G46 District.

Two Qingniao aircraft flew swiftly under the thunderstorm, and through the flashes of lightning, they could see that near the deep pit, the sudden heavy rainfall had caused rainwater to converge into small waterfalls, falling into the depths of the pit.

"G46 District, all miners, evacuate immediately!"

"Repeat again!"

"G46 District, all miners, evacuate immediately!"

"There will be heavy rainfall for over three hours in G46 District. The danger level has risen from moderate to high, and there is a risk of local geological collapses at any moment. All miners, upon hearing this order, evacuate immediately from G46 District!"

Zhu Xiaotian repeated the broadcast.

She kept checking the situation below the deep pit on the screen, her voice becoming more resolute and firm due to the security team, like a strong rose in full bloom.

Next to the 38th Qingniao, flying alongside it was the 2nd Qingniao—an upgraded Qingniao.

As the deputy leader of the security team, Tian Xiao no longer needed to personally carry out patrol tasks. Such duties could be entrusted to those below him.

However, due to the severe weather in G46 District, where, in his past life, more than ten miners had died, he hesitated for a long time but still decided to personally deal with this area, bidding farewell to the deepest pit in G46 District.

Since he had taken the three tons of purple garnet ore, miners 099, 246, and 712 had been secretly investigating whether someone had handed over large amounts of purple garnet ore.

The logistics department had been leaking information, so it was impossible to keep it a secret.

When the three miners found out that the person who intercepted the ore was from the security team, they completely gave up.

They felt guilty themselves.

The source of the purple garnet was from their cousin, who had once developed this area. If the situation escalated, it would cause trouble for their cousin.

There was no other option... they had to swallow the bitter pill.

Since Tian Xiao became the deputy leader of the security team, they were even more afraid to make any rash moves.

"G46 District, all miners, evacuate immediately!"

"Leader."

"G46 District should have no one left."

After flying back and forth several times over G46 District, Zhu Xiaotian turned to Tian Xiao and said, "We can leave now."

"Not yet."

Tian Xiao, unusually serious, sat still in his position, continuously activating the Qinglong to repeatedly scan the situation in the deep pit.

The signal inside the pit was already weak, and in a thunderstorm, the signal transmission was further restricted. The Qingniao could only receive signals from inside at close range, and only through loudspeakers.

Zhu Xiaotian was helpless.

She had no choice but to continue.

At the monitoring center, Liu Fangyan and Li Kui were casually snacking on sunflower seeds and talking.

"Leader is finally creating an opportunity for the two of them to be alone. Is he finally getting it?"

"Yeah, yeah, look at this thunder, look at the heavy rain," Li Kui gestured wildly. "It's got the atmosphere, it's got the story. I think the leader will definitely make a move this time."

Suddenly, someone from behind interjected.

"Yeah, right, if there's really a move, why is Zhu Xiaotian still over there shouting endlessly? You two bachelors have no business shouting here."

"Captain Chen."

Liu Fangyan and Li Kui hurriedly stood up and bowed, scrambling to clean up the sunflower seeds.

It wasn't just Captain Chen who came; Luo Fei also arrived.

Luo Fei said, "I heard that there's a massive accumulation of rain clouds in G46 District, with continuous heavy rainfall. Our Tian Xiao, the deputy leader, is taking it very seriously and personally patrolling the area. I came here to have a look."

"Yes."

The two quickly made way for him.

Luo Fei took the main seat.

Under the heavy rain, the outlines of the Qingniao aircraft were already indiscernible.

From the deep pit, thick white vapor rose, and waterfalls cascaded down.

Luo Fei's expression was serious as he stared in the direction of the deep pit and said, "The rain is too heavy. It's indeed dangerous! There's a risk of collapse! Can we calculate and predict the geological changes in G46 District?"

Chen Wuling shook his head.

"The heavy rain obstructs our vision. We can't obtain accurate data, and the accuracy of chip calculations is unstable. The results would have a large margin of error, making them unreliable."

Chen Wuling was right.

At this moment, Tian Xiao and Zhu Xiaotian were flying through the rainstorm in G46 District. The sound of the intensifying rain striking their aircraft filled their ears, and the entire craft felt heavier. The view and analysis capabilities were limited to five hundred meters, making it harder to see what was happening in the deep pit beneath the rain curtain.

"Master."

"The rain intensity is increasing."

"The outer shell of the Qingniao is under severe pressure. We need to slow down, or the invisible coating on the outer shell will be damaged, and some of the internal precision parts will suffer impact, leading to unpredictable risks."

Qinglong gave Tian Xiao a suggested speed.

Tian Xiao immediately complied.

The upgraded Qingniao's invisible coating was expensive, and they couldn't afford any loss.

The 38th Qingniao, which was following, also quickly adjusted its speed.

After decelerating, the two Qingniaos were almost completely submerged in the rain curtain, becoming even harder to track. In the monitoring center, they could only track their movements through radar.

Boom!

At that moment.

Both Tian Xiao and Zhu Xiaotian heard a massive rumble coming from below.

The screen displayed possible signs of a collapse causing the disturbance.

The computing ability of Qinglong was already at H6 level, which made it faster and more efficient at analyzing received signals compared to the 38th Qingniao. It quickly provided its judgment:

"There is a 57% chance that the deep pit has experienced a geological breakdown, a rockslide; a 36% chance that a tunnel has been breached by accumulated water, causing a collapse of the deep pit tunnel; the remaining 7% chance is an unknown factor."

"It finally collapsed," Tian Xiao muttered to himself.

Zhu Xiaotian, gazing down at the deep pit, said, "We can't see anything anymore. Should we leave? There's no way any miners are still stranded here."

"Mm."

Tian Xiao nodded.

Since a collapse had already occurred, the largest pit in G46 District would soon face a chain collapse, completely submerging the area and losing any exploratory value.

He was ready to leave.

However...

Just then, another massive explosion echoed from within the deep pit.

Boom, boom!

Large rock layers fell into the ground, causing a tremendous sound.

Tian Xiao remained unfazed as he instructed Qinglong, "Plan the route back to the base and prepare to return."

"Understood!"

Qinglong adjusted its course.

At that moment, from within the deep pit, a sharp, piercing screech rang out from the spot where the rock layers had fallen, cutting through the rainstorm and reaching the Qingniao above.

The pilots of the two Qingniaos both showed grave expressions.

The next second, the cockpit lights flashed red! The aircraft entered combat mode!

Qinglong's voice rang out:

"Warning! Level 1 alert! There is a 99.9% probability that the sound just now was emitted by an insect beast; the remaining 0.1% probability suggests it could be the sound of a mutated beast."
