July 1, cloudy.
Another day of mining.
Wang Dong had taken Ding Ling's warning seriously.
Sima Delang's blatant arrogance had indeed made Wang Dong more vigilant.
However, after weighing his options carefully, Wang Dong still chose to head to the mining zone.
Sima Delang was brazen, but without any leads, he wouldn't go so far as to attack the entire mining zone outright, as he had before Wang Dong's rebirth.
That wasn't brazen. That was insane.
Sima Delang was arrogant and domineering, but he was definitely no fool.
This time, Wang Dong chose a Near-space mining spaceship, the Explorer Type 2.
The Explorer Type 2 was slender, making it one of the smaller Near-space mining spaceships.
Its cargo capacity was limited, but in return, it was nimble and flew steadily.
Compared with behemoths like the Mine Overlord Type 2, the Explorer Type 2 was more adaptable within the Asteroid Belt Mining Zone.
As Wang Dong piloted the Explorer Type 2 through the mining planet's atmosphere, a small space fortress came into view.
With its engines at full power, the space fortress assumed a multifaceted battle formation. Dozens of defensive turrets of various calibers covered its surface, while its thick armor and shields all spoke to the strength of this Defense System.
To conserve energy, the mining planet's small space fortress usually remained in energy-saving mode.
Clearly, the arrival of several Kindling Warships in succession had put the mining planet on alert.
This type of space fortress was a planetary Defense System. With a planet as its foundation, it could unleash considerable combat power.
Kindling Warships below LV.10 couldn't deal it a fatal blow.
It could even hold its own against Kindling Warships below LV.15.
The patrol fleet in the mining zone's star region had also raised its alert level accordingly.
