"Back then?" Bagnell's face showed a bit of sadness, but his tone was surprisingly calm: "We were five people back then, and we had a very good relationship. I, the Black King, draw the sword, smell the civet, weave and fly. Do you remember the card you helped me fix? Celia is Zhifei and my wife. We formed the Black Hibiscus Card Repair Regiment back then, and we were invincible and invincible! Even the military has been defeated at our hands. ”

At this, Bagnell looked proud, but as soon as this pride passed, his tone suddenly lowered.

"Later, we stumbled upon a trail in the jungle, and everyone was so excited that everyone unanimously decided to explore it." The bitterness on Bagnell's face was heavier.

"Window?" Chen Du was shocked: "Is it the path window we walked?" ”

"It's not." Bagnell shook his head: "That trail window is in the Van Ath area, we found it in the depths of the jungle during a mission. We were very strong, stronger than our team now, and we could easily go into the depths of the jungle. The trail window was in a small, unobtrusive canyon, and I'm afraid I can't find it now. ”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but remind Chen Du: "Boss, we have to explore this gray layer as soon as possible and find the other paths and windows." Otherwise, the security of this base cannot be guaranteed. ”

Chen Du nodded in agreement.

Exploring the Gray Layer, they have a huge advantage. In addition to exploring the sharpness of the tray, they also have long-distance communication cards such as the [Thousand Miles Card]. Due to the flat surface of the gray layer, there is no interference, and communication can be achieved at very long distances.

Bagnell's face was filled with remembrance and sadness: "We had a good start at first. During the first few sandstorms, we found shelter from the wind. And we're starting to get to grips with the rules of sandstorms, which reassures us. Unexpectedly, it wasn't long before we were in trouble. ”

Speaking of this, Bagnell's eyes couldn't help but redden.

"The storm came so suddenly without warning. And unlike the previous sandstorms, the storm was a terrifying cold snap. The cold snap carried the sand and dust, and because the temperature was too low, the surface of the sand and dust was all condensed into ice shells, some of them were the size of eggs, some were the size of fists, and the largest was the size of a shuttle, and they fell down like raindrops, and the canyon where we were hiding was smashed and collapsed.

In order not to be buried alive, we had to fly out. However, we underestimated the power of this frosty storm. The wind was so strong that as soon as we came out, we were all blown away. I was lucky enough to roll into a leeward cave and survive, only to break my leg. ”

The expression on Bagnell's face was blank.

"I had no medicine on me and spent three days in the cave. For the past three days, I kept dialing their cards every day, but there was no response. Three days later, when my leg was a little better, I walked out of the cave, and I was so hungry that I couldn't do it. I wanted to look for something to eat, but as soon as I got out of the cave, I found a lot of dead bodies. They've been smashed to the ground, and it's hard to tell who they are, but I know they're my companions. Later, I found a shuttle cart with food on it, and I survived. ”

Baganel's tone was very light, but he heard Chen Dui's heart tremble, and he could imagine the tragic situation.

"They all died, and I thought I was going to die too. I didn't think I could get out of this gray layer, so when the sandstorm came, I didn't hide at all. I thought, if you die, you will die, you will die anyway. I was swept up into the sky by a sandstorm, and I thought I was going to die, but when I opened my eyes, I saw the window. I thought it was ridiculous, I wanted to die, but God wanted me to live. ”

Chen Du didn't know what to say, so he could only listen silently.

"The Black Hibiscus Card Repair Order perished like this, and no one knew it."

This sentence is full of too much emotion, sadness, and loneliness.

"There are a few of us, the Black King is the most convincing to everyone, the four of us respect him very much, and the team members below also love him. He is the most successful leader I have ever met. Maybe only Tang Hanpei can compare with him. It's interesting to say that the Black King has a younger brother, but we don't know who it is. Once, he said, "He wanted me to pass on my tactical knowledge to his brother." If I change to someone else, I will definitely not do it. But since he spoke, I agreed, and he saved my life. Later, it took me a long time to sort out a set of notes and give them to the Black King. It's a pity that I don't know who his brother is, otherwise I could have gone and found half of my students. ”

Seeing that Bagnell was smiling at the corner of his mouth, immersed in memories, Chen Du did not interrupt him.

"The guy who smells the civet is delicious, sleepy, lustful, and stingy. Haha, but he's also the funniest of the five of us. He's always got weird stuff on his hands, and every time Celia and I get angry, I'll run to that guy and get something fun to coax her. But that guy is an iron rooster, and he wants to get something out of him, so don't think about it without blood. He jungles tracking the Federation unsurpassed, and we all admire it tightly. ”

"Drawing a knife is a cannon fight, just one point, and the temper is very hot. However, he is most afraid of Celia, and as soon as Celia gets angry, he is honest. He's a madman who goes around challenging people. In the words of the Black King, it is to go around causing trouble. We always have to go and wipe his ass. Do you remember Xiao Liqian's Hughes Chamber of Commerce? Her uncle Hughes was beaten with a knife before, and then he didn't know each other if he didn't fight, and everyone had a good relationship. ”

"If you say that among the five of us, who has the highest status, it is not the Black King, but my wife Celia. Haha, she is our princess, and even the Black King loves her very much. In the group, no one dared to offend her. offended her, drew a knife and didn't say a word, and was definitely going to cut someone. Celia ......"

Bagnell looked confused, tears in his eyes, and his voice choked. Suddenly, he looked much older, desolate and sad.

Chen Du still didn't know how to comfort Bagnell, so he could only accompany him quietly.

The construction of the base is still in full swing. The Frost Crystal Storm that Bagnell spoke of caught Chen's attention, and his demands on the base immediately increased greatly. In the end, it was decided that the cliff would be built against the cracks, and for safety reasons, the base was built as a fully enclosed structure.

Fortunately, the metal deposits here are extremely abundant, and the materials needed can be obtained locally. They can even mix some rare materials in the metal, and raise the surname of the alloy to a very exaggerated level. Such a base, if it is placed in the Federation, the cost it needs is not something that Chen Duan can afford. Even the Big Six would not be able to build a base with these high-quality rare materials in such luxury.

Chen Du also quickly became busy, making jams, and he needed to be on the front line. Of course, he can't compare to Alfonso in terms of metal smelting, but he is much better than those card experts in the Federation. In order to be in a hurry, he did not elaborate on it, but made some relatively crude smelting machines. The utilization rate of this card machine is not high, but he doesn't care, the last thing that is lacking here is ore.

The big fissures are full of ores, and those rare ores can be found everywhere.

Poor Kaxiu, except for those who are in charge of exploration and vigilance tasks, everyone else has turned into mining Kaxiu. However, no one has an opinion, and even those seventh-level Kaxiu, who are usually high in the sky, are doing their best. Everyone knows that as long as they gain a firm foothold in the gray layer, then it is equivalent to one more hen that can lay golden eggs.

The more resources a team has, the more room they have for future development and the higher the benefits their families can enjoy.

These people have either been following Chen Du for a long time, or they have been trained by Chen Dui, and their loyalty is extremely high.

The base planned by the team's building Kasiu is small, just a small haven. It can accommodate up to 3,000 people, and at the same time, it can store a certain amount of supplies. As for the rest of the features, they gave them all up. This base was established, and their mission was to wait for support from the Eastguard base here.

When the support force comes, we will reappear at this base as the main body and expand it.

Due to the simple function, only thick metal alloy plates need to be built and welded together, and everyone works together, and the project progresses extremely quickly.

Finally, they completed the construction of the base before the second sandstorm.

It resembles a giant steel castle, most of which is hidden within the crestic cliff wall, with only a few passages exposed. To increase its defenses, there are reinforced bracket structures everywhere, which makes the base look a bit messy and ugly. But no one cared, and during the second sandstorm, everyone shrank into this ugly steel castle.

Through the surveillance probe, you can clearly see the terrible scene of flying sand and rocks outside. The base was as warm as spring, and everyone was leisurely drinking all kinds of hot drinks, chatting in groups, which was in stark contrast to their bad situation last time.

Everyone's face was excited, and everyone knew what it meant to build this base.

The rare deposits that can be found here have become the hottest topic of conversation among the people, and even their most experienced Cassius has never seen such exaggerated wealth.

The six major members of the Federation, no one knows, have quietly added a base in the gray layer. A young lion is about to enter its high-speed growth period. Maybe some of them expected it, but there was nothing they could do.

Everyone's eyes are attracted to one person. Tang Hanpei led the Tang camp, and with a tough attitude, he was gradually approaching the Star Academy.

In the middle of the army, a white and slender palm gently opened the black notebook in front of him.

On the title page of the notebook is a small line - for my brother: I hope you can become a hero!
