The two of them, who had just landed on Mars, stood in the barren sand with a bewildered expression, looking at the sand dunes in front of them through the transparent shield on the face of the spacesuit helmet.

Unlike the yellow sand that is common on earth, this sand has a slight orange color, which is probably due to the hematite hidden underneath the sand.

The gravity on the surface of Mars is one-third that of Earth, and it is much easier to move here than on Earth. Lin Chi tried to move forward, jumped and jumped to the sand four meters away.

After observing the sand and making sure that there were no obvious enemies nearby, Lin Chi finally breathed a sigh of relief, opened his skill bar and inventory, and began to confirm the situation in this game:

The weapons you carry are still those that can be used in modern maps, and the familiar names are still in the skill bar.

However, Lin Chi noticed that a new state appeared in his status bar:

Notorious:

In Mars, which is full of exiled felons, the lower the player's prestige, the more awe the other criminals will be.

"Damn, so the prestige is negative because of this......"

Lin Chi muttered, turned on the intercom system to contact Frankenstein, who was close at hand, and asked, "What is your prestige?" ”

"Negative two hundred and seventy." Frankenstein replied.

"Well, it looks like you're more popular here than I am." Lin Chi smiled.

In addition to "Infamous", there is another status that hangs in its own status bar:

Survival Needs:

The amount of oxygen in the Martian air is extremely low, and the temperature difference between the planet's surface is extremely large, so players need oxygen supply and wearable life-support equipment to survive on the surface of Mars.

Please note that when exposed to the Martian outdoors without equipment, you will take damage immediately, depending on the local environment. Instantaneous death may occur in some locations.

In this way, the broken spacesuit I got from the spaceship is also a necessary equipment for surviving on Mars. However, according to common sense, the life-sustaining equipment on the spacesuit should not be able to operate for a long time.

Before the equipment built into the spacesuit fails, new equipment needs to be found in order to survive the extremely harsh environment of Mars.

Of the thirty teams involved in this game, four of them had already hung up when they landed, including Lin Chi and Frankenstein's team, and there were still twenty-six teams left.

However, the current Lin Chi was not worried about an enemy attack at all, because as far as the eye could see, there was no sign of life around him......

- How did the criminals who landed here survive in the past?

While thinking about it, Lin Chi turned around and returned to the burning wreckage of the spaceship, looking for the remaining equipment in the spaceship that could be used.

The black smoke obscured the vision, but the pungent smell was isolated from the spacesuit, Lin Chi and Frankenstein searched in the wreckage of the spaceship, and finally found two small solar panels that were still intact.

The length and width of the board are about one meter, Lin Chi pressed the spacesuit gloves on the tempered glass panel, and a few lines of item introductions popped up:

High Energy Solar Panels:

Item Class: Fine.

In areas with sunlight, the panel can provide a small amount of electrical energy.

"Generating electricity with love on the surface of Mars is a dead end, and even if you use solar power, you may not survive."

After reading the description of the item, the two decisively picked up a battery board, used the rope that came with the board, carried the battery board behind their backs, and then picked up the small backpack that the player had to use from the sand pit next to them.

After rummaging through the wreckage of the ship for a few more moments, the two scavengers finally left the area and began to head due north.

In fact, Lin Chi and Frankenstein didn't know what was in the north, but on the premise of being completely unfamiliar with the situation, it was undoubtedly the best choice to keep moving in one direction.

This map, called "Mars Ruins", is undoubtedly the largest game map that Lin Chi has ever visited. He doesn't yet know exactly how big the range of this map is, but it's definitely completely unmatched by other maps.

On the surface of Mars, it should be very difficult to find other players. So...... How exactly will this map determine the winner?

Thinking of this, Lin Chi, who was trekking in the sand, asked the Frankenstein beside him, "Have you ever lined up this picture before?" ”

"Nope." Frankenstein's voice rang out of the headphones: "It's my first time. ”

"That's more troublesome." Lin Chi squinted his eyes and looked at the sand in front of him.

The orange sand dunes are endless, and there is no end in sight, and now it is difficult to find even the living, let alone find enemies.

INTERVIEWER Is this direction you have chosen the right way? Lin Chi didn't know at all, but soon, he noticed that a large amount of sand and dust had been raised on the sand in front of him.

"What's going on?"

When Lin Chizheng was wondering, he saw an amazing scene:

A "MONSTER" desert buggy with huge wheels is speeding from the sand, the metal shell of the body flashes a dazzling silver, and through the front window, two people wearing oxygen masks can be seen, sitting in the front seat of the buggy.

The four giant wheels rubbed against the sand, scattering the orange sand and dust backwards, and the off-road vehicle drove past Lin Chi and Frankenstein, as if it didn't see them, decisively ignored the existence of the two, and rushed in the direction of the wreckage of the spaceship.

"Who are these?" Lin Chi asked in surprise.

The off-road vehicle that can be used on Mars, and the one on Earth is certainly not the same model, it should be a specially improved version. And those criminals who were sent to Mars by the broken spaceship should not be able to make such a thing......

As the car drove past the sand next to it, Lin Chi noticed that the words "scientific investigation" were sprayed on the body, and a cross-shaped logo was drawn under the text.

"Is it from the expedition team?" Lin Chi said his inference.

"I don't know." Frankenstein turned to look at the wreckage of the spaceship, whose flames had been extinguished, and asked in a cold tone, "Do you want to go back and see?" ”

"Or don't." Lin Chi shook his head.

- Even if he is not a leader-level NPC, the guy who can gain a foothold on Mars must have strong strength, and his combat experience in this environment is much richer than Lin Chi and Frankenstein.

Lin Chi knew that if he chased after him, once he started a war with those guys, he would probably be killed directly by the other party.

The people in the car seemed to be going to collect resources from the shipwreckage, and it was the right choice to take this opportunity to leave this place of right and wrong.

Therefore, Lin Chi also quickly determined the next action strategy:

"Go ahead and leave them alone."

As soon as his voice fell, as if confirming his judgment, a few more lines of kill prompts popped up:

The player "Eat, Drink and Merry" is dead!

The player "stupid young man" is dead!

The player "Hand of Sin" is dead!

Player "Gray Hair" is dead!

The squad "can't be named" has been annihilated.

The four players in this squad, who died almost at the same time, almost died in the explosion of the ship. But the spaceship carrying the player should have all landed, that is......

"Killed by those men." Frankenstein's voice was still cold.

"Quite possibly." Lin Chi nodded in agreement.

While talking, their call was suddenly cut off, and the tiresome voice of the male anchor of "God of War Radio" once again occupied Lin Chi's ears:

"Trash, you've all landed, haven't you? I heard explosions nearby, and someone must have been reimbursed before they had time to climb out of the ship! ”

"As an old-timer who arrived here a long time ago, I would like to kindly remind you. Stay away from the 'Scientists'! Those bastards who call themselves scientists are the most dangerous madmen on Mars, don't provoke them, or even the Virgin Mary will not be able to save you! ”

Realizing that his judgment was confirmed, Lin Chi smiled: "I knew it was so. ”

- Pretty much as I deduced, the guys who drove by were scientists, and the criminals called them "scientists" and hid away from them.

Unlike the criminals who were exiled to Mars, the scientists stationed here should have advanced equipment and built buildings suitable for human habitation. It is true that the equipment held by the exiled criminals alone cannot compete with the "scientists".

The two of them made their way fast in the thin sands of Mars, heading due north, and the ruts left by the Jeep of the "Scientists" were clearly visible in the sand.

"If we get close to the Scientists' residency, will they kill us?" Lin Chi said in a low voice.

"It's dangerous." Frankenstein responded immediately.

Coming to the same conclusion, the two did not continue to follow the marks left by the wheels, but moved in the opposite direction.

Lin Chi opened the player's map, and there was only a large pile of sand dunes and a huge wilderness on the map, because the area of Mars was too large, relying on the original size of the map alone, it could not show the panorama at all, and it could only show the area where the player was currently located.

However, at the northeast edge of the map, a crack that had just appeared attracted Lin Chi's attention.

- Is that a canyon?

Looking at the "longitudinal line" that cut across the past, Lin Chi frowned slightly, if you want to find a human settlement, this canyon should be a good choice.

The Scientists' jeep was coming from the northwest, and unless they had taken a ride before coming, it probably wouldn't have come from the canyon to the northeast.

In the canyon, you can shelter from the large sandstorms that are common on Mars, and you can also easily build a habitable house, and as long as you go towards the canyon, you may be able to find traces of humans.

"Head in the direction of the canyon." Lin Chi said.

"Okay." Frankenstein replied in the affirmative.

After determining a new goal, the two immediately turned to the direction of the canyon and followed the map forward.

The canyon is at least twenty kilometers away from the sand dunes where they are located. As you can imagine, it will take a lot of effort to walk through here.

On the way to the canyon on foot, Lin Chi also chatted with the Frankenstein beside him from time to time. However, since Frankenstein doesn't like human gossip very much, the conversation between them can only be described as awkward chat......

Walking through the orange sand and dust in the sky, they walked for a full hour, and just when Lin Chi was already bored with the unchanged scenery in front of them, there was finally a slight turnaround:

"What's that?"

- On the sand ahead, something was reflecting a dazzling golden light, which looked a bit like the light that flashed when Legendary equipment was dropped.

Lin Chi and Frankenstein glanced at each other, and quickly moved quickly on the weak-gravity Martian sand dunes in a half-jump, and soon came to the side of the light. Then I was disappointed to find that it was not some legendary equipment, but a man who had fallen on the sand, and the clothes on his back flashed.

The guy was wearing a lighter suit, much smaller than the spacesuits on Lin Chi and the others, but it was also fully enclosed, a bit like the protective clothing worn by the anti-chemical warfare troops when handling chemical weapons.

The flashing logo on the back of this person's clothes is very eye-catching, and it is clear that this guy's clothing has its own logo to attract the attention of other people, and it should have been expected that there might be an accident, so that others can come to search and rescue.

- What's going on with this thing?

Since he hadn't yet figured out whether the other party was an exiled criminal or a "scientific person", Lin Chi was also very cautious at this time, walked over cautiously, stretched out his thick right hand protected by the spacesuit, and patted the other party's back.

The guy didn't move, didn't react at all, as if he had really passed out.

Lin Chi turned the other party's body over, and through the transparent mask on the guy's helmet, he saw a dark face, the person who was unconscious in the Martian desert was an adult black man, and the chest of his dark brown coat was sprayed with a red eagle pattern with open wings.

"Like a criminal." Frankenstein commented coldly.

"I think so too." Lin Chi smiled.

Just looking at the way this guy is dressed, he doesn't look like a well-equipped "scientific person". Realizing that the other party and himself should be the same passerby, Lin Chi stretched out his hands again and shook the other party's shoulders vigorously, trying to use the most primitive means to wake up this stupid man who had passed out.

"Hey, wake up......"

Although he knew that it was impossible for the other party to hear his voice through the protective suit, Lin Chi still subconsciously muttered.

About a minute later, just as Lin Chi was about to use more brutal means to wake up this person, the man who had been keeping his eyes closed finally blinked slowly.

Through the mask of the spacesuit, Lin Chi saw that the other party opened his mouth and seemed to be saying something. After a while, the guy's blank gaze finally focused on the two people in front of him.

“……”

The man opened his mouth and said something excitedly, but the air was still unusually quiet, and no sound could be heard.

Lin Chi reached out and tapped on his helmet, and the man who had just woken up finally came back to his senses, turned on the communication device, and began to search the nearby bands.

A minute later, the guy's voice finally reached the ears of Lin Chi and Frankenstein:

"Thank you! My name is Sasha! ”
