Base 2 has reached this stage of development and seems to have fallen into a bottleneck period. It's been three days since the home planet has encountered a major beast tide, all the accumulated organic materials have been depleted, and many equipment is about to stop. Seven of the 10 large editors that had just been built had already switched to heavy alloys, and in one day's time, all of them would have to switch to the same thing.

Chu Jungui was in a daze, and Lin Xi's voice sounded in the communication channel: "Jungui?"

Chu Jungui called back some of the computing power, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to speak. "Huh?"

"We don't have enough raw materials, and a lot of equipment is about to stop. ”

"There doesn't seem like a good way to do this. ”

"I shouldn't have used a fusion bomb last time. Lin Xi sighed.

"More people would have died without fusion bombs. ”

"I know. Lin Xi sighed again and said, "We can't just stop. ”

"There are no war beast materials, but aren't the double-leaf trees and comfrey endless?"

"It's not enough to have them. I think ......" Lin Xi wanted to speak and stopped.

"What do you think?" asked Chu Jungui.

"We're going to have to fight with the beast tide. Lin Xi finally said what he thought from the bottom of his heart.

Chu Jungui didn't expect Lin Xi to be so strong, and after smiling bitterly, he had to hurriedly convince him: "You see, we want materials to make weapons, and the purpose of making weapons is to kill war beasts, kill war beasts, kill war beasts......"

"It's about getting more material. Lin Xi picked it up.

"Uh......" The subject choked suddenly.

"It's not normal to not see a single beast for three days in a row. Even the strange beasts and lizardbeasts that usually haunt the forest are gone. There must be reasons for this, and we have to find them and see what happened. I'm not for the material, really. ”

The subject always felt that the last sentence she made up was the truth. But in any case, such a quiet situation is indeed a little strange. He turned up all his computing power, quickly drew up a plan, and said, "Give me 12 hours to prepare, and then we will do a reconnaissance within 50 kilometers." ”

"12 hours, good. ”

Half a day later, three armored off-road reconnaissance vehicles set off from base No. 2 and drove in the direction of the attack of live missiles.

The reconnaissance vehicles were all modified, and the whole circle was larger, from four-wheeled to six-wheeled all-terrain vehicles. And the tripling of the battery pack means more power and more equipment. Each all-terrain car is equipped with a two-seater dual-assembly fifth-generation mechanical keyboard. Only the car in which Chu Jungui was sitting was four air defense towers. At the same time, the armor of these three vehicles is all 'survival' composite armor, and both the spinyback and the lizardmon are helpless against this new material armor.

At full power, the reconnaissance vehicle is capable of advancing on relatively flat terrain at a speed of more than 80 kilometers per hour, while having a range of up to 400 kilometers.

Although this speed is not as fast as the alien beast, it is far superior to other war beasts, and the alien beast can only run a few kilometers at the highest speed, so the safety level has been greatly improved.

The three reconnaissance vehicles moved forward in turn, Chu Jungui and Lin Xi first, Hathaway and Middleton in the center, and Rose and Roland in the back.

Chu Jungui said while driving: "If we hit the beast tide, the upper layer of the base will be wiped out." ”

"If we really meet us, we can run and bring the beast tide back to the base. Lin Xi accidentally said that he leaked his mouth again.

Chu Jungui was helpless, but he could only continue to move forward. Moreover, it is still unsettling not to grasp the dynamics of the beast tide, and Lin Xi's decision-making is also reasonable.

The road was calm.

After driving for about an hour, a prompt sounded on Chu Jungui's personal terminal that the scheduled 50-kilometer reconnaissance had reached the end of the line.

Chu Jungui stopped the car, and the two reconnaissance vehicles behind followed in turn, stopping on the left and right respectively. Lin Xi jumped on the roof of the car, and even stood on the air defense tower, looking into the distance.

Chu Jun got out of the car, looked around, and then asked, "How is it, do you see anything?"

"No, nothing. ”

Next to him, Rose was also looking around with the scope, and after looking at it for a long time, she didn't find anything, and then said, "Where are all these damn war beasts? Why are they all gone?"

Lin Xi thought for a while and said, "Let's go 50 kilometers deeper." ”

Chu Jungui was taken aback and said, "No! Once we encounter an accident, it will be difficult for us to escape back to the base." ”

"As long as we run away in advance, the beast tide will not be able to catch up with us. In the past, the alien beast would never act alone from the main body of the beast tide. Besides, if it's just a strange beast chasing after it, isn't that a death?"

"Up to 10 km. ”

"50 km!"

“20！”

"Deal. ”

"......" subject felt as if he had been tricked.

A moment later, the reconnaissance vehicle set off again, but this time the speed was much slower, and Chu Jungui controlled the speed below 40 kilometers, observing the surrounding situation as he went.

As a test subject, Chu Jungui was able to automatically identify all unusual targets in his field of vision. I just walked another 10 kilometers, and I still didn't see a single war beast, not even a moving animal. At this point, everyone knows that something must be going on.

Chu Jungui slowed down again, not letting go of a trace of clues. At this time, Lin Xi, who had been standing on the roof of the car to observe, suddenly said: "Alien beast herd!"

Chu Jungui drove the car up a relatively high dirt slope, and then jumped to the top of the air defense tower and looked in the direction of Lin Xi's finger.

Near the horizon, a group of alien beasts were trotting into the distance. There were about a hundred of these strange beasts, and there were no other beasts around, so at this scale, it wasn't even a beast tide.

Lin Xi held up the high-powered telescope and said, "There is a messenger above them. ”

The high-powered telescope is still better than Chu Jungui's eyes, and after Chu Jungui was reminded, he barely saw that there was indeed a messenger above the alien beast group. The messenger hovered over the heads of the beasts, leading the herd forward, and after a while, the messenger left the herd and flew in the other direction. The herd of alien beasts already knows the direction and moves forward on their own, moving further and further.

Lin Xi marked the routes of the alien beasts and the messenger on the map, and then asked, "What should I do?"

Chu Jungui looked at the direction in which the messenger was flying, and suddenly said, "You guys wait for me here." ”

With that, he jumped out of the reconnaissance car and flew away in the direction the messenger had left.

Lin Xi didn't have time to stop it, Chu Jungui was already far away, and his speed was even faster than that of a reconnaissance vehicle.

"What is he going to do?" Hathaway was surprised.

"Maybe it's ......," Rose vaguely guessed.

A gunshot rang out in the distance, and the messenger suddenly fell headlong to the ground. Chu Jungui swept over the messenger like a ghost, lifted it, and then ran all the way back.

After a while, Chu Jungui returned to the reconnaissance car, threw the messenger into the car, and said "alive".

The rose on the side suddenly became a little shy, and whispered, "How do you know that I am good at torturing aliens?"
