A mine tunnel leading deep underground appeared in Wang Chen's view.
Unlike ordinary mine tunnels, broad, thick steel tracks ran down its center. Three electric Mine Carts sat on them, all clearly specially modified.
This was the "subway" leading to the rebel base.
Decades ago, the Empire's Rebel Forces had infiltrated this remote planet. They recruited members from among the bottom layer miners, then used the dense web of tunnels beneath Senhai Star to establish their base.
Although the Rebel Forces' presence on Senhai Star was no secret, no one knew what they were plotting, hidden like rats in the sunless underground.
Since these rebels had always kept quiet and maintained an extremely low profile, and the cost of wiping them out was too high, the Empire could not be bothered to deliberately target them.
A mere ailment of mustard and moss.
It was not until the prison break at TK043 Space Fortress enraged the Seventh Rapid Response Fleet that things began to change.
Though Tao Zhenrong had colluded with the Rebel Forces for a long time, his understanding of them was limited. He had no access to genuine inside intelligence, much less had he ever visited the rebels' underground base.
So for what came next, Wang Chen still had to rely on his own strength.
He climbed into the Mine Cart at the front, studied it briefly, and quickly started it.
The Mine Cart had an internal battery. The instant it started, it sped forward and continued accelerating along the tracks.
In just a few minutes, it had exceeded one hundred kilometers per hour!
The passage the Mine Cart traveled through was immensely long, as though it led toward the planet's core. It kept descending and accelerating, its wheel hubs grinding against the tracks in showers of dazzling sparks.
