Guts are different from person to person.

Some people dare to molest women, but they don't dare to fight to the death with the enemy, and some people don't even blink their eyes when they skin and dig up meat......

Of course, there are also those who are "both civil and military" and dare to act, just like Commander Max. Without him, he has enough ability and courage to slap him in the face or something, so he doesn't care.

With his hands clenched into fists and his eyes coldly swept over everyone, Colonel Max spewed out two puffs of coarse air from his nostrils with satisfaction, and then he hummed:

"Are there still people who are not convinced? If not, just leave me with a little bit of it! Damn, it's uncomfortable not to fight, isn't it, what a bunch of cheap bones! ”

Everyone: "......"

After finishing speaking, Colonel Max ignored the wonderful faces of the others, turned his gaze to Qin Fen and the others, and muttered:

"I do have a task for you, and only you valiant warriors can do it...... Information had just come from headquarters that the whiskey unit, which had been building a small mining base on the Douglas Plains 500 kilometres away a week earlier, had lost contact with it last night. The headquarters sent transport planes to airdrop supplies to the mining base, and at the same time sent three nearby teams to support. But it turned out to be like a mud cow entering the sea, and soon lost contact. Now it is necessary to send someone to find out why. ”

"If you take on this mission, the base will send up to four vulture hoverboats to cooperate with your operations, and if there are no accidents, they will arrive at their destination in half a day. By that time your companions should also be healed, so you have an hour to prepare. An hour is the perfect time for you to go. ”

The Juggernaut's prompt followed:

"Ding...... As your reputation reaches Respect, trigger the hidden quest 'Lost Base', which is of unknown difficulty, and will reward all participants with a total of 10,000 Survival Points and two Silver Achievement Badges. Failure will result in a deduction of 5 maximum attribute points and 3,000 points per person. Acceptable? yes/no？ ”

This should be the benefit of brushing the prestige to a certain height, and there is no need to even send someone to "PR", and the commander will release the hidden mission.

While the crowd was hesitating, they heard the commander continue:

"Of course, although we won the battle just now, the casualties are not light, and there is a shortage of manpower, so you can abandon this mission. But after that, they can only take a lot of patrols, surveys and other jobs from me, although they are all some complicated affairs, but they can also earn military merits...... It's up to you to choose. ”

Qin Fen made eye contact, if you want to say that you are not impressed, it is fake, after all, it is two silver-level achievement badges. But this task is obviously quite difficult, and everyone rushes in, which is really unpredictable.

After a moment of silence, Qin Fen and Titan finally stood up and said to the commander in a categorical tone:

"Sir, willing to serve you!"

Supporting the bold to death, starving to death the faint-hearted, has been the same since ancient times. What's more, everyone doesn't know how long the current adventure world will end, and the rewards for those complicated small tasks of patrolling and investigation are quite low, and for Qin Fen and Titan and others after the union, the rewards are not even enough to stuff their teeth, it is a complete waste of human resources.

So after comprehensive consideration, everyone still chose to take this hidden mission.

“…… Although I have only been here for a few hours, I have found myself deeply in love with this place of friendship, unity, and honor, and it is a great honor to fight under your command. ”

This person was Qin Fen, and he didn't look at the envious and jealous faces of others, and continued very simply:

"Therefore, we are willing to gamble our glory and lives to serve you!"

A smile finally appeared on Colonel Max's gloomy face, and Qin Fen then received a hint of "Terran reputation increased by 200 points".

The commander gave a military salute to Qin Fen, laughed and patted Qin Fen's shoulder and said:

"Sgt. Sergeant, you have made a very wise choice! As a wise compliment, I will give you permission to solicit companions. During this hour, you can recruit a few companions to help you fight! ”

Qin Fen was overjoyed, "Honorable sir, your kindness and generosity are as deep as the sea!" ”

The commander nodded and said:

"Then you can go and prepare, and remember to go to the quartermaster to get the standard equipment, in an hour, I want to see you leave on time!"

Qin Fen and the others naturally did not waste this opportunity, and quickly contacted some of the soldiers who were rescued by the way during the retreat, and selected a few machine gunners as companions.

Everyone carried guns together and retreated from the battlefield together, and this friendship was naturally deep. The relationship between Qin Fen and the others and many soldiers has reached respect, and it is not impossible to even pull up a team of hundreds of people.

Unfortunately, this mission is mainly based on exploration, focusing on efficiency and mobility. And there were not enough transportation vehicles, so in the end, I had to choose thirteen machine gunners with high enough damage and survivability to be used as companions.

……

An hour later, four oddly pointed chariots in the shape of a long shuttle were parked outside the side door of the base. It's still a taxi-like vulture hover, which has no wheels and relies on air cushions to levitate, so it's extremely fast and rarely constrained by the environment. The Vulture Hovercar is the most common vehicle in the base, and while their main function is reconnaissance and patrolling, they also provide some defense, with a maximum driving speed of 200 km/h. However, the only weapon that can be loaded with weapons is the individual howitzer at the front of the car, which is better than nothing.

During this period, everyone also purchased twenty catties of military dry food, which cost 100 reputation points for one catty, and after eating, it can recover 100 health points within 30 seconds (cannot be attacked), in addition to increasing the health recovery speed by an additional 10% for 120 minutes.

Adventurers and GIs boarded the car until the four vulture hovercars were fully loaded, and then they left in the dust, facing the scorching sun, and ran into the distance.

Considering the harsh weather around them, everyone brought enough water and put on helmets to protect them from the wind and sand, and made preparations. In the previous battle to defend the base. The surrounding Zerg had already suffered a lot of vitality, so they were still quite confident and bold. And in this Gobi Desert, the field of vision is wide, you can see far away, and there is no danger of being surrounded and attacked. In addition, the holographic map marked the settlements of the Zerg and various dangerous areas one by one, so everyone drove nearly a hundred kilometers without any danger and did not encounter any danger.

This planet is different from the mother planet Earth, the temperature can almost climb to 50 degrees Celsius in the afternoon sun, and it is no exaggeration to say that if you smash an egg and throw it on the ground, it will be baked in no time! In addition, after night, the temperature plummets to about zero degrees Celsius, and it can be said that the temperature difference between day and night is very large.

Such a harsh climate makes the living environment of this planet quite severe, with extremely variable temperature differences, bare/exposed surface, scarce vegetation, and even a thin atmosphere, so the moisture here is quite lacking, the air is very dry, camping in the wild, you wake up and feel the burning pain in your throat, and at the same time your lips will crack a bloody wound.

The terrain here is strange, but the most common is the dark red and egg yellow Gobi Desert. Along the way, you can see fine sand and gravel drifting in the wind.

However, it is not true to say that there are no signs of life. Needless to say, the Planet Overlord-level Zerg, in the leeward of the boulder, in the dark and damp corner, if you carefully distinguish some things that look like brown stones, you can judge that they are some stubbornly surviving plants, these things are like tightly clenched fists, similar to the structure of cacti in the earth's desert, and it takes a lot of strength to break them.

When the crowd rested behind a boulder, they found such a living being. After pouring a little water, you can see that the thing immediately stretches out at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the leaves are as thick as aloe vera, spreading an area of nearly one square meter on the ground.

People can't help but sigh at the miracle of the Creator, the magnificence of nature, and the tenacity of life.

The desolate Gobi, the barren wilderness, the lone traveler, the free-spirited life......

On this alien planet in a different time and space, everyone is like a big dart in the wilderness, facing the fiery sunset, heading into the distance.
