Chapter 67: Warning Signs
Three minutes later, several experts were holding different instruments and scanning the rows of wheel imprints, working very hard. It seems that the threat of the mysterious man is quite effective.
Fifteen minutes later, all the scans were over, and the experts began to compile the data and analyze the results.
The mysterious man didn't say anything, but stood by and watched the experts busy, like a snake staring at a group of frogs cleaning their own plates.
Twenty-five minutes later, the report was released, and it was presented to the mysterious man.
The report shows a ten-wheeled heavy-duty truck with its nose slightly backwards, closer to a third of the way. In front is the engine room, and in the rear is the compartment.
The mysterious man glanced at it, didn't scroll down, didn't pay attention to the pile of data, just asked, "Does it look like this?"
There was a faint mist in the helmet of the researcher, who was obviously so nervous that he was sweating constantly, and even the air conditioner in the protective armor did not have time to cool him down.
"It's just speculation, but we have very good data to back it up. For example, the position of the cockpit is dynamically reversed according to the depth of the wheel print when walking......"
The mysterious man interrupted him: "Okay, okay, what is it like that you still need to speculate? Catch up and take a look? All board the car, let's go!"
The researchers were immediately flustered, and the lead researcher stubbornly asked, "The ...... Will there be a fight?"
The mysterious man casually kicked the remains of a spinyback beast next to him, and said, "The other party can kill more than a hundred beasts, do you think?"
"We are non-combatants......" he could say before a gun was stuffed in his hand.
"You're combatants now. ”
The lead researcher holds the gun, throws it, doesn't throw it, doesn't throw it, and stays where it is.
The mysterious man turned on the communication channel and ordered: "All assembled, one level of alert, to explore the destroyer formation to advance." ”
On the distant horizon, a number of armored combat vehicles appeared, spreading out in formation in an arc, carefully bypassing the remaining base area and coming to a stop in front of the mysterious man.
An officer came up and asked, "My lord, how far are we going to pursue?"
The mysterious man groaned for a moment and said, "The other party is an agent of the Special Operations Division, and he can still be alive in this situation, even if he is only a beginner, he can't be careless." This pursuit may require three or four hundred kilometers, and it will take at least two or three days. ”
"In that case, we should report to Joseph and General William. You can also request an answer if necessary. The officer suggested.
"Yes. In front of these two names, the mysterious man put away his arrogance.
The researchers' eyes lit up next to them, and they immediately recommended themselves: "We can't help in the battle, but we can go back and report to the generals for you!"
The mysterious man put his hand on the researcher's shoulder, wrenched him half a circle, faced the nearest chariot, and said, "No, you all stay." Just let them go for the things to report. ”
He turned back to the officer and said, "Arrange for a car to go back." ”
The officer said: "There are some problems with one car, and if it breaks down along the way, it will be more troublesome." ”
"That's two. "Mystery people don't care about authenticity.
Moments later, more than a dozen armored fighting vehicles set off in turn, chasing along the wheel prints on the ground. Two more tanks broke away from the main force and returned along the same route.
The Horizon base is already showing signs of prosperity, with refining furnaces and organic matter separators, editors spitting out a steady stream of material. Four machines were also on the move, two producing a variety of ammunition and the other two producing armor plates, engineering parts, and other structural parts.
Behind the Pilot's mobile base, a full-action trailer has completed the basic structure and is connected to the mobile base.
Chu Jungui was busy on the roof of the mobile base, building individual bunkers on the commanding heights of the entire mobile base, and setting up freshly baked 'automatic rifles'.
This 'mechanical keyboard' is fed by a chain that passes through an opening below and leads to the work area. In this way, the continuity of firepower can be guaranteed.
Lin Xi installed several alloy fuel tanks in the warehouse area and continuously injected pulp fuel into them.
The two have been working for dozens of hours, and in the process, Lin Xi has only slept twice, one hour each time. Chu Jungui, on the other hand, slept seven or eight times, adding up to a total of 30 minutes. Subjects are rested by shutting down and restarting.
However, the test subject is not a machine after all, and shutting down and restarting it can only relieve fatigue, but not solve the real problem. It's just that the metaphysical component has been on the move, issuing danger warnings, which disturbs the test subjects and speeds up the pace of work.
Chu Jungui's abnormal movement also made Lin Xi feel something. She put aside the idea of building a solid base for the time being, and strengthened the mobile base first.
After adding a trailer, the power consumption of the mobile base increased greatly, so Lin Xi moved a power furnace from the horizon base to the mobile base. With three power furnaces working together, the mobile base can maintain its original movement speed. She added several more fuel tanks to the mobile base, tripling the fuel reserve and increasing the range from 400 km to 600 km.
Nearly 2 days were spent in peace, and no large-scale animal tides were seen. In this rare quiet time, the construction of the horizon base has been able to advance by leaps and bounds, and the production capacity has increased several times in a row.
But there are pros and cons, and the absence of animal tides means that many organic materials have lost a stable supply. Chu Jungui went deep into the forest, and in the end he only hunted a few strange beasts, and he was better than nothing about supplies.
The corpses of the war beasts that the two of them brought out from the footprint base have been almost used, and if there is no beast tide, I am afraid that they will run out of food.
Just when he was busy, Lin Xi suddenly saw something appear in the sky and was approaching quickly. She quickly adjusted the focus of the eyepiece, and after magnifying it more than ten times, she saw that a group of winged beasts appeared in the sky, approaching at high speed.
Lin Xi immediately sent an alarm, and Chu Jungui got out of the workshop of the mobile base, climbed onto the bunker at the top, and looked at the group of protruding winged beasts.
Lin Xi quickly picked up the machine gun and loaded the magazine. A machine gun with constant fire is the best weapon against the Winged Beast.
The herd is not large, with only a dozen in total. This amount doesn't even need Chu Jungui, Lin Xi can handle it himself. Just the appearance of the herd often means that the beast tide will continue to come until the base is submerged.
Lin Xi glanced at the base that had just been a little prosperous, and felt a little reluctant in his heart. However, after experiencing the abandonment of the footprint base, she has become much stronger and is no longer so sentimental.
At this moment, Chu Jungui's voice sounded in the communication channel: "Be careful! These winged beasts are not coming at us, they are running away!"
