The night on the flying star was very cold, and the stars under the cold wind looked particularly unrefreshed.

Qin Xiao hid behind a boulder and slowly breathed to recover his tired body.

At this time, three more days had passed since their battle near the low mountain, and they had experienced more than a dozen battles in the course of three days.

Just an hour ago, they were chased by dozens of strange beasts, and it was only when they fled here that they found the advantageous terrain to fight back.

In the three days of fierce fighting, Qin Xiao was still a well-deserved main force.

It's not just that his combat power on the frontal battlefield is stronger, but also because he knows the alien beasts here very well, and every time he encounters an enemy, he can tell the shortcomings of the alien beasts as soon as possible.

Even in terms of tactical arrangement, Qin Xiao is actually more mature than Guo Zhen and Hu Cheng.

Unconsciously, Qin Xiao has faintly become the true commander of this team.

Guo Zhen had no objection to this, and took the initiative to let Xian after realizing Qin Xiao's strength.

Hu Cheng has no opinion on this, he is a typical old mercenary, and he has a very strong habit in the rivers and lakes.

Because of Qin Xiao's life-saving grace to him, he obeyed Qin Xiao's words after the first battle of the low mountain.

Hu Chengcheng is the bearded mercenary in the mecha squad who was rescued by Qin Xiao, and he has completely become Qin Xiao's "older fan brother".

However, Qin Xiao was not in the mood to enjoy these now, because since the battle of the low mountain, they had been cut off from retreating back to the base.

They had been wandering around the medium-risk area of Flying Star 79 for three days, and they still couldn't find their way back.

The reason why this is so is because they are unfortunate enough to encounter a large beast tide.

The tide blocked their way back to the safe area, and even kept squeezing them deeper into the moderately dangerous area.

At the end of the pranayama, Qin Xiao took out the mappers and looked at the mutilated maps they had drawn so far, frowning and pondering.

"Team Qin, are you busy?" Hu Cheng sat beside Qin Xiao and handed him a bottle of wine.

Qin Xiao took the wine bottle and looked at it, then put it aside, and said without raising his head: "Drink less, alcohol will affect your judgment." ”

"Hey, that's not a big deal." Hu Cheng said with a big grin, and did not forget to pour another sip of wine after speaking.

"You're right." Qin Xiao didn't persuade anymore, and still looked down at the map.

Looking at the way Qin Xiao was studying the map, Hu Cheng, who wanted to take a few more sips, finally put away the wine bottle.

"Team Qin, how long will it take for us to start walking back?" Hu Cheng asked.

"Three hours later."

"What?"

"After three hours, we started to prepare for the breakout, and these three hours are enough time for everyone to rest to their best."

"Now go back? Isn't it too risky? Hearing Qin Xiao's arrangement, Hu Cheng's face was full of worry.

They were chased by a large number of strange beasts and fled here, wouldn't they rush back and fall into the encirclement of foreign beasts?

"It can't be delayed any longer, if it drags on any longer, it will be consumed here alive." Qin Xiao said firmly, and as he spoke, his gaze fell on those young star warriors not far away.

Hu Cheng followed his gaze and instantly understood what Qin Xiao meant.

There is a fatal flaw in their team, that is, except for Guo Zhen and Hu Cheng, the other team members are all academy students.

These guys perfectly confirmed the conclusion that Qin Xiao said to Xiao Zhu'er before, strength and combat power are completely different things.

Although they were all cultivators of the first and second orders of the Star Realm, their real combat effectiveness on the battlefield could not reach this level at all.

They do not know how to cooperate tactically, they are flashy in their tactics, they are depressed when they encounter danger, and they get carried away once the situation prevails.

Thinking about it carefully, they were able to lead such a group of academy students to survive until now, thanks to Qin Xiao's metaphysical and accurate judgments again and again.

In fact, if it weren't for the fact that three of the academy students had already died in battle, and they realized how brutal the battle here really was, these guys would definitely not have relented by now.

"Supplies are the biggest problem, and if I'm not mistaken, these guys don't have enough ammunition on them." Qin Xiao said calmly.

Hu Cheng nodded again and again when he heard this, and said with a wry smile: "They don't know what efficiency is at all, and when they encounter a strange beast, they are suppressed by a lot of firepower, and it is indeed easy to supply short of supplies when they fight like this." ”

Speaking of this, Hu Cheng couldn't help but glance at Qin Xiao.

To be young, Qin Xiao is the youngest one in this team, and he has cultivated to the fifth order of the Star Casting Realm, so he should be the one with these shortcomings.

But his sophistication made Hu Cheng ashamed, and this situation made Hu Cheng puzzled until now.

He wanted to ask Qin Xiao more than once if he had been fighting on the battlefield since he was sensible, otherwise how could he have achieved this level.

"Go tell me, I have to leave in three hours, I don't want to be consumed here." Qin Xiao patted Hu Cheng's shoulder and gave the final notice.

In order to return to the safe area, Qin Xiao chose an extreme escape route.

Take the waterway.

After analyzing the maps drawn in the past few days, Qin Xiao probably judged that he had been here in the area where he was currently located.

If he remembered correctly, there was a river not far from what they were now, and they could escape back by following the river all the way to the southeast.

Theoretically, this is the safest route.

In Qin Xiao's memory, there were no water-based alien beasts on the No. 79 flying star, and most of the alien beasts here were afraid of water.

The nature of being afraid of water will keep a large number of alien beasts away from the water, which means that it is almost impossible to encounter a large number of alien beasts when walking on the waterway, let alone contact the beast tide.

After the team set off again, Qin Xiao seemed to bring his own radar to detect the radar, and led people straight to the river in his memory.

Fortunately, Qin Xiao's judgment was not wrong, and he finally found the river, and even more fortunately, he found a large arbor forest next to the river.

Seeing this, Qin Xiao immediately ordered the march to be stopped, and then sent people to cut down trees.

"Team Qin, are you planning to build a ship?" Seeing this, Hu Cheng asked.

"Yes, it's definitely faster if you have a boat on the waterway." Qin Xiao replied.

Hu Cheng looked at the calm water with a suspicious expression, and muttered to himself: "How fast can a wooden boat go in this kind of current?" ”

The team was full of Star Realm cultivators, and the speed of cutting down trees was naturally extremely fast, and under Qin Xiao's arrangement, he quickly made two huge rafts.

The problem now is that the river is flowing too slowly, and the raft really doesn't go fast when it is placed on it.

Under the gaze of everyone, Qin Xiao showed them another ability of his own-mechanical manufacturing.

He dismantled the only Star-Energy Cannon in the team and improvised two unconventional powerhouses.

The braking principle of these two power engines is extremely rough, that is, the recoil is generated by firing the cannon, which in turn pushes the raft forward.

When everyone divided into two teams and sat on the raft and watched the raft speed on the water like an arrow from a string, the doubts in their hearts completely turned into shock and admiration.

"Convinced, my old Hu is completely convinced, is there anything else you won't do?" Hu Cheng sat beside Qin Xiao and said excitedly.

"It's just the simplest power plant, and any mechanic apprentice can build it." Qin Xiao said without changing his face.

"Team Qin, you are too modest." Hu Cheng shook his head and said with heartfelt emotion.

There were no words all the way, and Qin Xiao and the others only took eight hours to complete the escape route of the previous three days.

Seeing their light spots on the Star Power Radar constantly approaching the green area, everyone's nervousness finally gradually dissipated.

As long as you enter the green area, you have entered the low-risk zone, which is the area under the complete control of the military headquarters on the 79th flying star, and even if you encounter an attack by a strange beast, you can directly call for help.

After everyone landed, Qin Xiao asked people to dismantle the power engine on the raft.

Seeing this, Guo Zhen asked, "Team Qin, what is the use of these power machines?" ”

"It's useless for the time being, wait until I get back to the base to find some components, and I'll repair the Starenergy Cannon back." Qin Xiao explained.

"Repair it back?" Guo Zhen was stunned for a moment, looking at the two strangely shaped power machines in his hands, he couldn't imagine that these two things could make another star energy cannon.

Hu Cheng squeezed Guo Zhen away, put his arm around Qin Xiao's shoulders and said, "Team Qin, you have to give me face after you go back, let's have a good drink." ”

"I can go back first, and then I can talk about it, and now the danger is not over." Qin Xiao said calmly.

"Don't worry, Team Qin, this place has been developed for almost a year, at least there will be no accidents in low-risk areas." Hu Cheng patted his chest and said.

"Xiao Guo, contact the base and report our situation." Hu Cheng looked at Guo Zhen and said.

"I started contacting the base half an hour ago, and there has been no reply, so I'll contact you again." Guo Zhen replied, and then began to call the base.

After a call, the base still did not respond, and even Hu Cheng, who patted his chest and assured, was a little flustered.

"What's the matter, is there something wrong with the transmitter?" Hu Cheng hurriedly took out his transmitter, but still couldn't get any feedback.

When he raised his head, he met Qin Xiao's gaze, and Hu Chenghu said suspiciously: "Team Qin, did you know anything in advance?" ”

Qin Xiao said with a wry smile on his face, and said secretly in his heart: "I can know anything in advance, I just don't dare to relax." ”

After contacting several times in succession to no avail, Hu Cheng said with a gloomy face: "Could it be that the beast tide has hit the base?" ”

Guo Zhen shook his head and said, "It's impossible, we have a large number of heavy weapons in our base, as well as bunkers and underground shelters, even if there is an impact of the beast tide, they shouldn't all be killed, right?" ”

"Yes, even if the beast tide hits, it should never be like this." Qin Xiao nodded, and then said, "So there must be something more unexpected happening." ”

"What contingencies?" Hu Cheng asked busily.

Qin Xiao picked up the transmitter, said a few words and then put it down, he looked at Guo Zhen and Hu Cheng and asked, "Didn't you find anything else?" ”

The two glanced at each other, their faces blank, not knowing what Qin Xiao wanted to say.

"Team Qin, what did you find, let's hurry up." Hu Cheng urged.

Without waiting for Qin Xiao to answer, Chen Jiao, who had been watching from the sidelines, finally couldn't help but say, "Didn't you find that all the transmitters had no sound?" ”
