"Hey, I've got aspirations, you know!" Sun Yang shrugged. "Anyway, a mission is always better than training. Let's do a good job!"
"Alright, enough talk. Let's move!" Li Chang'an quickened his pace, and the others followed close behind, heading for the mine.
Li Chang'an and his team set out on the road to the mine. The terrain around it was relatively flat, and they could occasionally see abandoned machinery and traces of broken conveyor belts along the way.
The scrap metal was scattered by the roadside, looking like it had been there for years.
"How do you think all this stuff ended up in this state?" Sun Yang asked as he walked, curiously kicking a rusty machine part by his feet. "It's all just left here to rot? And no one's come to clean it up?"
"The mine's been abandoned for so long, I doubt anyone cares," Han Ruoxi said from behind him. "This equipment has been useless for ages. There's no point in keeping it around!"
