Chapter 1273.
A mine tunnel that led deep underground appeared in Wang Chen’s line of sight.
Different from the ordinary mining road, its center was paved with wide and thick steel tracks, on which three electric mining cars were parked, and had obviously undergone special modifications.
This is the “subway” leading to the rebel base.
As early as a few decades ago, the Empire’s rebel forces infiltrated this remote planet, they developed members in the bottom miners, and then established a base with the help of Senghai Star’s densely-packed underground mining tunnel.
Although the existence of the rebel forces in Mori Haixing was not a secret, no one knew what they were trying to do by hiding like rats in the dark underground.
Since these rebels have always been quiet and very low-profile, coupled with the fact that the cost of rounding them up would be too high, the imperial side didn’t bother to deliberately target them.
It was just a disease of mustard moss.
It wasn’t until the TK043 space fortress had a prison break that angered the 7th Fast Rebel Fleet that the situation changed.
And even though Tao Zhenrong had colluded with the rebel forces for a long time, his understanding of the latter was limited, and he had no access to real insider intelligence, not to mention having never been to the rebels’ underground base.
So for the next operation, Wang Chen had to continue to rely on his own strength.
He sat on a mining truck parked at the front, briefly studied it, and quickly started it up.
This mining car had a built-in battery, and after starting it, it immediately drove forward and accelerated continuously on the track.
In just a few minutes, its speed surprisingly exceeded a hundred kilometers per hour!
This passageway that the mining car was traveling on was very long, giving people the feeling as if it was leading to the center of the planet, and it continued to accelerate downwards continuously, the wheels rubbing against the track with dazzling sparks, and the hissing sound made people feel fearful to listen to it.
The mine car was already quite old, shaking violently, as if it was going to fall apart at any time!
But Wang Chen sat in the car as steady as a mountain, his eyes not rattling in the slightest.
His right hand gripped the sense of control, and his powerful spiritual energy extended in all directions with the speeding mine car as the center.
Everything in the surrounding space was visualized in his sea of consciousness, constructing a clear and incomparable image of a three-dimensional structure.
Not only that, Wang Chen’s spiritual energy also silently seeped into the brackets, carriages, axles, hubs, and other parts of the mine car, putting it under his complete control.
After the initial friction and vibration of the acceleration phase, the mine cart, which looked like it was about to be finished, underwent a shocking change.
It no longer swayed from side to side, the wheels looked like they had been coated with thick roller skating oil, and it no longer emitted any noise when traveling at high speeds on the track, appearing like a ghost as it traveled through the long passageway.
And the speed exceeded three hundred per hour!
Although Wang Chen didn’t have a map of this place, with the help of his psychic energy, he always traveled along the correct path without taking any wrong turnoffs.
Half an hour later, the mine car suddenly broke through the thick darkness and turned into a passage with a lighting system.
Wang Dust’s eyes lit up.
This passageway had obviously been refurbished and reinforced, looking somewhat similar to a subway passageway, with electrical lights hanging at intervals on the walls on both sides.
The light they transmitted gave Wang Chuan the feeling of traveling through a time tunnel!
The mine car at this time began to slow down automatically.
Wang Dust did not interfere.
A few minutes later, the mine car stopped at a fork in the road.
There were multiple mine paths here, each of which was paved with railroad tracks, and the intersection even had traffic lights as well as signs, and the space area was very large.
There were also four or five mining cars parked next to each other, and the sound of clanking and banging came out from one of the mine paths.
Wang Dust jumped down from the mine cart.
“Who are you?”
It was at this time that a burly man wearing a helmet and carrying a mining pick walked out from the mine tunnel where the sound was coming from, just in time to see Wang Dust getting out of the car, and his eyes widened, “How did you get here?”
Wang Dust smiled and said, “My surname is Wang, staff officer of the 1st Senkai Machine Infantry Regiment, I came here to look for someone.”
“Imperial dog!”
The burly man immediately reddened his eyes, and without a second thought, he swung his mining pick towards Wang Dust, roaring viciously, “Go to hell!”
Bang!
In the next moment, his entire body flew backwards, hitting the mine wall behind him heavily.
Although the burly miner fainted on the spot, his roar still startled his companions inside, and in the blink of an eye more miners rushed out.
Each one of them wailed, wanting to fight with Wang Dust to the death!
Half an hour later, Wang Chen withdrew his palm on the head of a miner.
He wasn’t casting a soul-taking spell, this kind of immortal spell couldn’t be effective in this big world with different rules.
Wang Chuan simply used his spiritual energy to destroy the will of the other party, causing him to spit out the truth.
This time, due to the number of “samples”, he obtained enough information.
Wang Dust soon got on a new mining truck and traveled to the rebels’ lair through another channel.
During this time, he changed cars twice more.
The rebel forces entrenched in Senghai Star were not a rabble, they had a fairly high level of organization and mobility, and over the past few decades had not only established a base, but also constructed a well-connected underground transportation network.
These rebels traded with Tao Zhenrong by organizing miners to dig up high-value ores to obtain various needed supplies.
As for why they were making a big construction on this remote planet, not to mention Tao Zhenrong, even the miners controlled by the rebels didn’t know!
However, Wang Chen knew very well that this rebel force was by no means simple.
In fact, ever since he came to Senghai Planet, Wang Chuan had sensed a certain presence that was hidden deep underground.
When he entered the mine tunnel, the deeper he went underground, the stronger this perception became!
After another hour or so of traveling, Wang Dust once again encountered an enemy interception.
This let Wang Chen know that he was about to reach his destination!
He controlled the mine car and crashed straight through, violently smashing through the obstacles on the track and rushing into the enemy’s defense line.
The bullets that were fired at Wang Chen were all bounced off by an invisible barrier, and many of them flew back and hit the person who fired them, causing blood and flesh to fly and screams to be heard.
The outer defense line of the rebel forces was broken through by Wang Chuan in a devastating manner.
“Get out of the way!”
Accompanied by a low growl, a burly man wearing exoskeleton armor raised a six-barrel machine gun with one hand, grimly aimed at Wang Dust and pulled the trigger.
Chut-chut-chut!
The unique sound of the large-caliber machine gun shook everyone’s eardrums, and a hot line of fire shot toward Wang Dust!
