Bright Sword: This unit is really ruthless

Chapter 269 Li Yunlong Not Far Away

"Li Yunlong, come here." Zhang Lingyun shouted, and when he saw Li Yunlong not far away, he immediately stopped him.

When Li Yunlong heard the shout, he immediately put down his work and walked quickly to Zhang Lingyun, "Captain, what's the matter?"

Zhang Lingyun pointed to the water cup in his hand, frowning, "Where did you get the water from? It doesn't taste right."

Li Yunlong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Captain, have you noticed this too? When we were drawing water just now, we found that the water from this well tasted different from before, and seemed to be sweeter. Some of us even wondered if there was a change in the groundwater."

Zhang Lingyun was alert when he heard this. He knew that on the battlefield, any seemingly ordinary change could hide some kind of opportunity or crisis. He looked up at the terrain around the camp and said thoughtfully, "Yunlong, do you know the geological conditions of this place?"

Li Yunlong shook his head, revealing a trace of confusion. "I'm not sure, Commander. We've been stationed here before, but we've never encountered this situation. This well has been dug for some years, and it used to be ordinary mountain spring water."

Zhang Lingyun was silent for a while, and he became more and more certain that there might be something hidden under the well. He decided to find out the truth further. Perhaps there was some kind of resource hidden under the land, and they just happened to discover it unknowingly.

"Yunlong, call Zhao Gang, and let's go check out the well." Zhang Lingyun gave the order decisively, with a serious look on his face.

Li Yunlong nodded in agreement and quickly went to find Zhao Gang. After a while, Zhao Gang hurried over with a puzzled look on his face, "Captain, what happened?"

Zhang Lingyun briefly explained the situation. After listening to it, Zhao Gang's expression became serious. "Mineral smell? Captain, do you suspect there may be a mineral layer under this well?"

"It's possible." Zhang Lingyun nodded, his eyes flashing with determination. "If this is true, there may be resources we need hidden under this land. We must find out. If we can use this resource, it will be a huge help to our troops."

The three men then came to the old well in the center of the camp. Several soldiers were drawing water by the well. When they saw the regiment commander coming in person, they all stood up straight with a bit of nervousness in their expressions.

"Captain, why did you come here in person?" one of the soldiers asked puzzledly.

Zhang Lingyun walked forward and carefully examined the wellhead and the surrounding terrain. "How long has this well been dug?"

The soldier thought for a moment and replied, "It has been many years since the well water has been clean and sufficient. It's just that the water tasted a little different today, and we didn't pay much attention to it."

Zhang Lingyun nodded, signaling them to continue fetching water, while he scooped a bucket of water from the bucket, sniffed it carefully, and tasted it. Sure enough, the water had a distinct mineral smell, and it seemed to have a faint smell of rust.

"Zhao Gang, what do you think of this water?" Zhang Lingyun handed the water to Zhao Gang and asked him to taste it.

Zhao Gang took the water, took a sip, and frowned. "It does smell a bit like underground mineral water, especially the smell of rust. Captain, do you suspect there may be iron ore here?"

Zhang Lingyun nodded, his eyes showing a hint of solemnity, "It's very likely. We are in urgent need of iron ore now. If there is a mine in this area, it will greatly ease our material pressure."

Li Yunlong heard this and a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes. "Captain, how about we send someone down the well to investigate immediately? If there really is a mineral vein, it would be great news!"

Zhang Lingyun thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement, "Yunlong, you and Zhao Gang immediately organize people to prepare to explore the well. But pay attention to safety. The situation underground is unknown, so any action must be cautious."

Li Yunlong nodded excitedly and immediately took several soldiers to prepare tools for exploring the well. Soon, the exploration team was assembled, and several soldiers took ropes, mining lamps and shovels, ready to go down the well to find out.

The atmosphere at the wellhead was tense and solemn. Everyone held their breath and watched the exploration team that was about to go down the well. Zhang Lingyun stood aside, his eyes firm, but he felt a little uneasy. The situation underground was full of unknowns, and they had to deal with it carefully.

"After you go down the well, keep in touch with each other and report any abnormalities immediately." Zhang Lingyun instructed, with a hint of unquestionable majesty in his tone.

Several soldiers nodded in response, and then one of them tied the rope and slowly climbed into the well. As his body gradually disappeared from the well mouth, the people on the well stared at the rope nervously, fearing that something might happen.

"There is water at the bottom of the well, but it's not deep." A soldier's report came from the bottom of the well, and the voice was slightly muffled. "Let's continue to explore forward."

Time passed by, and the exploration in the well progressed very slowly, with every step being taken carefully. Zhang Lingyun stood at the wellhead, holding the rope tightly, praying silently in his heart, hoping to find something.

"Captain, there is a small hole ahead, and there seems to be a mineral vein!" An excited voice suddenly came from the mine, and the soldiers' report made everyone excited.

Zhang Lingyun's heartbeat quickened, and he immediately commanded: "Continue to explore and ensure safety!"

The exploration team continued to go deeper into the well. After a while, they received more exciting news. "Captain, we found some traces of iron ore here. It should be the edge of the vein!"

Zhang Lingyun was overjoyed when he heard the news, but he remained calm. "Bring some samples up here. We need to confirm it further."

Soon after, the exploration team carefully climbed up with several iron ore samples, the surface of which showed obvious traces of rust. Zhang Lingyun took the samples, examined them carefully, and smiled.

"This is iron ore! Yes, we found it!" Zhang Lingyun's voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang also came over to check. After seeing the sample, Li Yunlong slapped his thigh in excitement, "Captain, God bless you! Now our equipment problem is solved!"

Zhao Gang could not hide his excitement, and a rare smile appeared on his face. "Captain, this is great news! If we can mine enough iron ore, our troops' equipment will be greatly improved."

Zhang Lingyun took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and said calmly: "That's right, but we can't take it lightly. We must continue to explore in depth to determine the scale and quality of the vein. This task is very important and must be treated with caution."

Li Yunlong immediately said in a serious tone: "Captain, don't worry, I will immediately organize people to conduct a detailed investigation and make sure to find out the situation of the mineral vein."

Zhao Gang also nodded in agreement, "I will also strengthen the protection here to ensure the safety of the exploration work."

Zhang Lingyun nodded with satisfaction and immediately gave an order, "Okay, this matter will be kept secret for now, and only a few of us will know about it. We will decide after the investigation results come out.

Zhang Ling activated the system and obtained a super large amount of supplies and rewards.

It was late at night, with only a few dim lights flickering in the camp. Zhang Lingyun sat alone in the command post, holding the iron ore sample brought up from the mine in his hand, his mind full of thoughts. These days, he has been anxious about the equipment problems of the troops. Although potential mineral veins have been discovered recently, it is still a long and unknown process to actually mine them.

"If there are more resources and supplies, the combat effectiveness of the troops can be rapidly improved." Zhang Lingyun thought silently in his heart, frowning.

At this moment, a strange light suddenly emanated from the ore in his hand, as if it penetrated his eyes and hit his soul. Zhang Lingyun was startled and looked up suddenly, only to see that the world in front of him seemed to have changed in an instant, and the surrounding environment was blurred, replaced by a void of space.

"What's going on?" Zhang Lingyun's heart was full of confusion and vigilance. He quickly stood up and looked around, trying to figure out where he was.

Just when he was confused, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded in his ears, the voice was calm and neutral: "The system was activated successfully, and the host has been connected to the super resource system."

Zhang Lingyun was stunned. He had never heard of a system, and he didn't understand what was happening before his eyes. He calmed down and asked tentatively, "System? Who are you? Where am I now?"

The voice replied calmly: "Host, there is no need to panic. You are still in the original world. The super resource system has been bound to you. You will receive a series of resources and rewards to help you improve your combat effectiveness and complete the mission."

Zhang Lingyun was puzzled and surprised, but he quickly calmed down and realized that he might have encountered something very special. He asked cautiously, "What are the resources and rewards you are talking about? What are the conditions?"

"The host will obtain corresponding resources and rewards based on the completion of the task. Tasks include but are not limited to combat, command, tactical formulation, etc. After completing the task, the system will issue rewards based on the difficulty and effectiveness of the task." The system's voice was still mechanical and calm.

Zhang Lingyun was silent for a while, then asked: "What if I don't accept it? What impact will this system have on me?"

"The system will not have a negative impact on the host, but if the host refuses, you will not be able to obtain the system's resources and rewards. It is up to the host to decide whether to accept the system activation." The system replied calmly.

Zhang Lingyun fell into deep thought. He knew that the current situation was extremely unfavorable to their troops, with a shortage of resources and outdated equipment, which could affect the outcome of the battle at any time. With the help of this system, perhaps their situation would be greatly improved.

After much deliberation, Zhang Lingyun finally made a decision. "I accept the activation of the system," he said in a firm tone.

"Activation successful." There was a slight fluctuation in the system's voice. "The host has received the initial reward. Please check it."
