The soldiers of the Baron were all ready for battle before receiving the alarm from the Baron, and all of them were fully armed and stood at the tail hatch of the Baron, waiting for the command room to give the order, they could rush out of the cabin at any time and inflict maximum damage on the enemy!

However, these soldiers in the Baron knew that in the water mine not far away, nine engineering vehicles had lost contact with the command room in a split second.

In the worst-case scenario, when those engineering vehicles were destroyed in that instant, they knew what terrible the consequences would be when they broke out of the ship's hold.

All these reactions and thoughts were in the blink of an eye after the alarm sounded in the command room of the Baron, and they did not know that the culprit who caused the alarm just glanced at them and left directly, completely ignoring them.

The sandstorm crackled on the outermost protective cover of the Baron, and even though the Baron itself had excellent sound insulation, the dust seemed to be beating on everyone's hearts all the time, scraping on the most feared places in their hearts again and again.

After the soldiers of the Baron waited for a long time, the wind of the sandstorm did not abate in the slightest, but there was no second alarm in the command room for a long time. The soldiers who stayed near the exit hatch all looked at each other for unknown reasons, and it was not until the sandstorm had advanced nearly a hundred kilometers that the command room issued a notice in the baron announcing the release of the alert.

"Knock, knock......"

With the command room to de-alert, all the heavily armed soldiers collapsed to the ground as if they had lost their strength, and the years of training seemed so vulnerable under this sudden pressure.

At the edge of a crater in the north a hundred meters away from the Baron, the red sand covering the ground was completely blown away by the sandstorm that had approached, and a reconnaissance robot the size of a small milk dog hidden under the red sand was pouting like a sandworm in the storm that covered the sky after being blown away by the strong wind.

Three meters beside it, a deep crater was also exposed by the winds swept by the sandstorm. Flying sand and rocks were hitting the window of a construction truck in the big pit.

Li Chen had already been awakened by the abnormal air vibration alarm issued by the reconnaissance robot, so he had considered the sandstorm on the surface of Mars at the beginning, and after parking, he directly sank the engineering vehicle to avoid this situation. Although I haven't encountered a sandstorm since landing on Mars, this is Mars after all, and the windy and sunny scene a few days ago is the least common weather.

"Hey, it seems that I was born to work hard!" Li Chen sat in the driver's seat with an unhappy face, rubbing the little black hairy head next to him vigorously, the sudden sandstorm was nothing to worry about, what Li Chen was really worried about was the reason for the formation of the sandstorm.

It had only been a day since the Blood Clan's water resource mine was attacked, and Li Chen had reason to suspect that this storm that rose from near the equator might also be some kind of meteorological weapon of the "Martian natives", maybe there was some real killing trick hidden in this storm.

Li Chen's idea was actually unexpected with the people on the Baron, the only difference was that he didn't have any weapons and equipment to use to fight back, if there was really an attack from the sandstorm, then he could only do his best, and he could escape as far as he could with the passengers in the car.

Although the reconnaissance robot is drilling into the ground, its life detector and energy sensor are all on its raised ass and constantly control all kinds of changes in the dust weather.

From the time the sandstorm hit their hiding place, Li Chen had been in a state of high tension, he didn't find anything related to life from the flying dust in the sky, maybe this time it was really just an ordinary Martian storm as observed on Earth before.

Once a dust storm on Mars starts to occur, it is a chain reaction that lasts for a long time and has a wide range of effects. After the initial more than half an hour of high vigilance, Li Chen temporarily determined that there should be no unstable factors in this sandstorm through the data fed back by the reconnaissance robot, and then he lay back on the sofa again.

Based on the wind speed and wind pressure strength this time, Li Chen believes that this storm will blow at least until the first half of the night, and the rapid drop in surface temperature near the equator after night may weaken the intensity of the storm here.

However, the road to the north is not expected to be easy to walk by then, and the Martian storm will gradually expand in range as it moves, while the speed of advance will be relatively weak. Under normal circumstances, the clouds on Mars are very thin, usually scattered and open, and do not form cumulonimbus clouds to produce thunderstorms and other weather like on Earth. In sandstorms, a large number of clouds gather above the sandstorm, which can lead to extremely rare thunderstorms on the surface of Mars, and they are likely to get lost in the storm if they choose to travel at night.

Li Chen was lying on his back on the sofa, his right leg was swaying back and forth on his left leg, he was not in a hurry to go north to meet with the people who landed on the surface of Mars with Immigration No. 1, the resources on the engineering vehicle were sufficient, even if they were self-sufficient, they were barely enough for three people to live, of course, the premise must be to save a little, and it is impossible to take a pleasant bath every day.

Just when Li Chen was about to fall asleep again with his legs swaying, a dull knock on the door suddenly sounded from outside. Li Chen was shocked that his hair exploded, and the whole person jumped up from the sofa with a thrill, and even Xiao Hei opened his eyes in horror and looked at Li Chen in disbelief.

The knock didn't come from outside the cab!

The knock came from the gate outside the construction truck!

“...... Maybe it's the sound of the wind blowing stones on the gate! Li Chen looked at Xiao Hei, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and whispered.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! "The slap in the face always comes so fast, as soon as Li Chen's voice fell, there were three consecutive rhythmic knocks on the door outside, Li Chen, who didn't turn on the soundproofing system, is now really beeping Xiaohei's idea, I knew that there would be this kind of thing, wouldn't it be good to turn on the soundproofing system and sleep well!? Where else would you encounter such a spooky thing!?

Li Chen couldn't help but think of many classic horror movies and television dramas on the earth at this moment, what aliens, clowns resurrected souls, midnight murder bells, anyway, all kinds of messy ideas erupted at this moment like spring water, making Li Chen's mood trying to calm down at all.

"Huh~" Li Chen exhaled heavily, and calmly pulled Xiao Hei who was hiding in the driver's seat over and hugged him to his chest and said, "You have thick skin, put on the holy weapon scale armor, and the life and death of our group depends on yours!" ”

Xiao Hei struggled hard, but Li Chen actually used his spiritual power in order to hold it, and it was useless to struggle, and finally he could only resign himself to opening the holy weapon scale armor, and then collapsed in Li Chen's arms with a helpless face.
