Lighthouse: Outpost.

This is one of the few outposts in Contra 127, and the lighthouse base was built for exploration of three Contrarian cities and dozens of small towns within 500 kilometers of the vicinity.

to facilitate the rest, treatment and replenishment of personnel and supplies.

The base is built under a dam, a building fifty meters above the base, and has a large water purification device built into it, which is capable of providing the base with daily water.

At the same time, in the event of a large-scale attack, a man-made flood can be created by detonating the dam's interception wall.

Thankfully, in the decade since the lighthouse base was built, this suicidal defense has not yet come in handy.

In the heavy blast door at the entrance of the base, there is a defense tower on the left and right, and the high-power searchlights on the tower sweep in the defensive trenches in front of them day and night.

Due to the use of intelligent electronic systems for assistance, only one soldier is required to be on duty in each defense tower.

At this time, in the defense tower on the left, a warrior wearing a dark full-body protective armor yawned. Due to the filtration and purification system in the tower, which prevents the black mist from penetrating, the name of the soldier can be worn without a helmet.

This is one of the few benefits of working in a defense tower.

The armor's built-in liaison flickered, and a message was received on the private channel: "How is it, Wei Bo, you kid won't fall asleep, will you?" ”

The soldier named Wei Bo smiled and replied, "Just ten minutes ago, I took a nap. God, I'm getting bored with the tower, and I knew I should have applied to join the Nightkin Exploration Corps. ”

"Save it, you're a citizen, and your father doesn't want you to take risks. Except for the minions and the madmen, what normal person would voluntarily join the Nightkin ”

Wei Bo was about to say something, when suddenly the computer prompted that a warning signal was detected, which meant that the Dark Citizens were approaching the base.

"Hell!"

Wei Bo jumped, his fingers darling on the virtual keyboard, and a holographic window opened in front of him.

In the window, the open area in front of the entrance to the base is displayed, and several staggering figures appear.

Although due to the lack of light, the soldiers could not see the specific faces. From the twisted limbs, as well as the gray-white flames of light floating on their chests, it was not difficult to tell that they were a few wanderers.

The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, and the few prowlers were not at all a threat. Since the base was put into use, the area has been rarely visited by the Darklings, but occasionally a few things that don't have long eyes have closed in.

But Wei Bo's whole body suddenly collapsed again, because he saw that there was actually a car behind the prowlers.

Thin casing, no weapons were installed, only four tires. And it looks like those tires are still flat.

This is obviously the ubiquitous vehicles in the city against the boundary. It is rumored that the design inspiration for the first wheeled vehicle came from the scrap metal in the city of the Bad World.

The soldier rubbed his eyes, thinking he was dazzled. After all, those vehicles should not have enough power to drive them.

Soon he knew why.

It's a prowler!

Someone has chains as thick as an arm around the bodies of these ugly things. The other end of the chain was tied to the car's crash rail, and the prowler acted as coolies, pulling the car forward.

Prowlers are not livestock, and they cannot be driven with whips. So on both sides of the car, there is a lampshade hanging on each side.

In the transparent cover, there was a star crystal grass. The brilliance emitted by the star crystal grass made the wanderer instinctively want to stay away, hence this scene in the holographic window.

Wei Bo couldn't help but let out a heartfelt sigh for this wonderful idea. Then the tower received a communication: "Tower, can you hear me?" I'm Tianyang, a member of the fourth squad of the gathering team, and the soldier code is 1507. Request to enter the base, oh yes, please inform the experimental department, I have a few live specimens of the Prowler, and ask them to send someone to receive them. ”

Poking his head out of the car window, Tianyang held the standard communicator and repeated what he had just said.

A slightly panicked voice sounded in the communicator: "The defense tower has received it, now the identity is verified, please wait for ......"

Moments later, the blast doors of the base opened, and several base-specific vehicles drove over. Among them, there are two specimen transport vehicles from the base laboratory department.

The Prowler was accepted, and Tianyang handed over the Star Crystal Grass that he had collected casually. As for the pillar of star marrow in the tunnel, he couldn't bring it back himself, but he had already marked the location of the pillar on the map.

Handing in this map later is also a great achievement.

Prowler, Star Crystal Grass, Star Pillar Map. These three things are enough for Tianyang to get 4,000 contribution points.

In the fortress, 1,000 contribution points can allow a family of three to live without food and clothing for a year.

So after registering for Tianyang, the officer in charge of recording was already a little jealous in his eyes when he looked at the young man.

"You have an injury to your left eye, and I suggest you go to the medical center. And you've just come back, and according to the rules, you have to undergo a full body check-up. Then, it is better to report to the superior officer. ”

After uploading Tianyang's information to the base system, the officer in charge of the base's defense work suggested this.

Tianyang made his request: "Sir, I want to see the Nightkin Commander. ”

The officer at the base was stunned: "I'm afraid, the commander won't make a special trip for a collection team member, even if you bring back a lot of things." ”

Tianyang pointed to his nose and said, "Maybe you noticed, I don't have a helmet on me." Yes, I'm already a sublimator. Moreover, my awakened rank is not in the information released by the fortress, maybe the commander will be interested in this. ”

"You mean, a whole new class? I'll go... Ahem, sorry. ”

The officer finally agreed: "In this case, I will let the soldier take you to the hospital." As for your request, I'll report it to Nightkin headquarters, and whether or not the Commander will see you or not is up to me. ”

"That's fine, I'll bother you."

A base vehicle takes Tianyang away and enters the blast door. Looking out of the car window, the boy saw that the material trucks were driving towards the storage room.

Two Falcon high-speed guerrilla vehicles drove by, preparing to leave the base. This is the standard vehicle of the Nightkin and I don't know which team is starting a new round of exploration.

In the distance, on the school field of the base, several three-dimensional armed planes were being trained in combat, which were humanoid weapons developed to make up for the disadvantage in the number of sublimators.

The base is as vibrant as ever, and its personnel, like a hard-working ant colony, are working hard to explore the world.

Retracting his gaze, Tianyang muttered.

"It's good to be back!"
