It's night again.

There was a faint rustling sound in the howling wind, and the temperature dropped rapidly, and it seemed to be colder than the usual night.

The thick clouds in the sky were lit up by lightning from time to time, and in a glimpse, a small black dot faintly passed high in the sky.

On the anticline of the high slope, a group of thorn beasts were already in place, and several of them were significantly larger than the others, with multiple striking dark purple lines on their bodies. They were on their own side, and the rest of the spiny-backed beasts were all around, and they were divided into several groups, and they were clearly distinguished from each other.

Around the cockpit, there were some undulations on the ground, and it was clear that a large number of lizardbeasts were quietly approaching.

At this moment, a terrible roar sounded in the air, and a large number of lizardbeasts appeared on the ground. They touched each other, looking a little flustered and confused, not understanding why they had to withdraw from their invisibility.

The two couriers descended from the air, one after the other, and flew around the cockpit a few times, before landing on a remnant of the wall outside the cockpit, craned their necks, and looked into the cockpit.

The cockpit door was open, and it was empty, nothing.

One courier cautiously flew into the cockpit, while the other remained outside, nervously staring at his companion's movements.

The courier looked around in the cockpit, but he didn't see anything for a long time, and naturally he didn't trigger any traps. It watched for a long time before flying out of the cockpit and barking a few times.

At this moment, on the base, there are only the remnants of the fortifications and the corpses of strange beasts scattered everywhere.

The two couriers flew around the base several times, but did not find any enemies. At this time, the earth shook, and dozens of giant rhinoceros beasts appeared. A messenger yelled at the herd, which slowly stopped.

The two messengers exchanged for a moment, and one flew off into the distance. In the forest several kilometers away, a huge herd of alien beasts received orders, rose from dormancy, slowly scattered in all directions, and returned to the distance.

The messenger who had left behind did not give up, and flew around the base several times, not figuring out why the enemy who had been holding out here was gone. The messenger flew high into the air again, searching everywhere, but still could not find any clues.

Without the enemy, this herd of unprecedented size, and for the first time, a sneak attack strategy would be useless.

In the distance, Lin Xi was driving the mobile base forward with his personal terminal. On the small map in the corner of the personal terminal screen, the route of the mobile base and the details of the terrain along the way are automatically recorded.

At this time, Chu Jungui climbed to the roof of the car from below and sat down beside Lin Xi.

"We've walked 371 kilometers, do we want to continue?"

"Find a forest to rest in, you can refuel. ”

Lin Xi nodded and said, "We have to build a scanner, and the scanning range of the personal terminal is still a little small." ”

"Build it when you rest. ”

"Are we going to go on like this all the time?" Lin Xi asked.

"What do you think?"

"Let's go for a walk, it's been a long time since we've encountered a herd. It seems that we are not wrong in the direction, the original place is indeed too close to the beast's nest. ”

Chu Jungui looked into the distance, and after a while, he said, "There is a forest at the foot of the mountain over there, and the terrain is relatively flat. Let's set up a makeshift camp there. Even the Winged Beast will not have a range of more than 200 km, so we should be relatively safe for the time being. ”

Lin Xi sighed lightly and said, "I still like the place at the beginning. ”

Chu Jun returned: "When we have some strength, we will fight back." ”

Lin Xi's eyes lit up, and then he was a little apprehensive, and asked, "Really......? Am I going to be a little willful like this?"

"Of course not. Now that we're here, sooner or later we'll have to face the secrets of this planet. If there is a big secret hidden on this planet, then there are probably clues in the beast's nest. So sooner or later, we're going to have to go back. ”

Lin Xi sighed lightly, "You really can comfort people." ”

She leaned slightly on her side and slowly leaned on Chu Jungui's body.

Chu Jungui's whole body immediately stiffened and remained motionless, like a steel statue. At the moment, he was inspecting all the components, and did not see any signs of movement in any of them, and the tactical deception was not activated.

The mountains in the distance look very close, but they are actually quite far away. The mobile base slowly moved forward at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour, and drove for another full hour to reach its destination.

At the foot of the mountain there is an isolated forest, which is not small in size and extends up halfway up the mountain. The summit of the mountain was already close to the ionic storm layer, and from time to time it was struck by terrifying lightning strikes. The rocks near the summit are metallic, and some are even faintly glowing.

Chu Jungui and Lin Xi did not rush to get out of the car, but held their guns on guard and scanned the forest. After a while, Lin Xi looked at the scan results and said, "It seems that there are only scattered beasts here, and there is no sign of the beast tide for the time being." ”

"Not bad, this is it. ”

The two jumped off the roof of the car and ventured deeper into the forest.

The forest was very quiet, and the few strange beasts seemed to have regained their beast instincts, and when they saw such a behemoth as the mobile base approaching, they all hid in the depths of the forest.

Lin Xi and Chu Jungui explored for about a few kilometers, and without finding danger, they returned the same way.

Lin Xi drove the mobile base back a few hundred meters, and finally stopped five hundred meters from the edge of the forest, preparing to set up a temporary camp here.

Chu Jungui opened the cargo hold, lifted a workbench from the warehouse, and placed it on the ground. Lin Xi pulled out a cable from the car and connected it to the workbench.

When the control screen appeared on the workbench, Chu Jungui smiled and said, "Okay, this is our second base." Do you want a name?"

Lin Xi thought for a while and said, "I still like the first home, so let's call it footprints." After all, it was the place where we first set foot on this planet. As for here, why don't you call it the horizon?"

"All good. And what about our mobile base?" Chu Jungui pointed to the semi-finished base that showed signs of falling apart.

"It's called the Pilot. ”

Chu Jun wrote them down one by one and said, "Okay, I'll make a sign when I go back." ”

"Why are you so serious?"

"Life should have a sense of ritual. Chu Jungui said casually. It was only when the words came out of his mouth that he remembered that this seemed to be a common word for tactical deception.

"Well, I'll just listen to you. Lin Xi seemed extraordinarily obedient.

Chu Jungui sighed in his heart, the effect of tactical deception against women is good.

With the lesson of the 'footprints' of the first base, Chu Jungui and Lin Xi are ready to run away at any time, so naturally they will not spend too much resources and energy on infrastructure. So this time, the two did not choose a rocky foundation, but found a piece of land that was convenient to level, and simply shoveled and pressed the ground to level it.

After the workbench was activated, Lin Xi set out to build a third pulp power furnace. And Chu Jungui moved the refining furnace, organic matter separator, and editor from the warehouse one by one, set them up, and then connected the power supply, and the prototype of a base was there.
