Vol 2 Chapter 64: horizon

It was night again.
There were more rustling sounds in the howling wind, and the temperature dropped rapidly, which seemed to be colder than usual at night.
From time to time, the thick clouds in the sky were illuminated by lightning in the depths. At a glance of Jinghong, there was a small black spot passing by in the sky.
At the reverse of the high slope, groups of spiny beasts are already in place, and several of them are obviously larger than other spiny beasts, and there are many striking deep purple lines on their bodies. They are all based on their own side, and the rest of the echinosaurus surrounds them. If they are divided into several groups, they are distinct from each other.
Around the cockpit, there were some undulations on the ground, and obviously a large number of lizards were approaching quietly.
At this time a stern tweet sounded in the air, and a large number of lizard beasts appeared on the ground. They touched each other, appearing a little flustered and confused, wondering why they had to withdraw from invisibility.
The two messengers dropped from the air one after the other, flew a few circles around the cockpit, then landed on a section of the fortified wall outside the cockpit, extended their necks, and looked into the cockpit.
The cockpit door was open, empty inside, and nothing.
One messenger flew into the cockpit cautiously, while the other remained out, staring nervously at his companion's actions.
The messenger looked east and west in the cockpit, and after seeing it for a long time, he saw nothing, and naturally did not trigger any trap mechanism. It looked for a long time before flying out of the cockpit and yelling.
On the base at this moment, there are only the fortified remains of Dao Dao, and the bodies of strange beasts scattered everywhere.
The two messengers flew around the base a few times, and found no enemies. At this moment, the earth shook and ten whole rhinoceros appeared. A messenger yelled at the giant rhinoceros, and the giant rhinoceros stopped slowly.
The two messengers communicated for a moment, and one messenger flew into the distance. In the forest several kilometers away, the huge herd of beasts was commanded, stood up from their dormancy, slowly spread around, and returned to the distance.
The messenger left still did not give up, flying around the base several times, and did not understand why the enemy who had always been here has disappeared. The courier flew up into the air again, looking around, still could not find any clues.
Without the enemy, the herd of unprecedented scale and the first use of sneak attack strategy is useless.
In the distance, Lin Xi is driving the mobile base continuously with his personal terminal. On the small map at the corner of the personal terminal screen, the mobile base's forward route and the topographical details along the way are automatically recorded.
At this time, Chu Jungui climbed from below to the roof of the car and sat beside Lin Xi.
"We've walked 371 kilometers, should we continue?"
"Let's find a piece of woods to rest and refuel."
Lin Xi nodded and said, "We have to build a scanner. The scanning range of the personal terminal is still a bit small."
"It's made when you rest."
"Have we been going this way?" Lin Xi asked.
"What do you think?"
"Let's go again. It's been a long time since we met the herd. It seems that we are not wrong. The original place is really too close to the beast's nest."
Chu Jun turned to the distance, and said a moment later: "There is a forest at the foot of the mountain over there, and the terrain is relatively flat. Let's set up a temporary camp there. Even if it is a winged beast, its range will not exceed 200 kilometers, so We should be safer for the time being. "
Lin Xi sighed and said, "I still like where I started."
Chu Jun returned: "When we have some strength, we will fight back."
Lin Xi's eyes brightened, and then he was a little bit stunned, and asked, "Really? But ... would I be wayward?"
"Of course not. Since we are here, sooner or later, we will have to face the secrets of this planet. If there are any big secrets hidden on this planet, then most of them will have clues. So sooner or later, we all have to Go back. "
Lin Xi sighed, "You will comfort people."
She leaned slightly to the side and slowly leaned against Chu Jungui.
Chu Jungui immediately became stiff and motionless, like a steel statue. At the moment he was looking at all the components, and he did not see any component showing signs of change, and tactical deception was not activated.
The mountains in the distance looked very close, but they were actually quite distant. The mobile base slowly moved forward at a speed of 20 kilometers per hour and drove for another full hour before reaching its destination.
There is an isolated forest at the foot of the mountain, the area is not small, and it extends up to the mountainside. The peak of the mountain peak was close to the ion storm layer, and was hit hard by horrible lightning from time to time. The rocks near the peak are all shiny with metal, some even faintly glow.
Chu Jungui and Lin Xi were not in a hurry to get out of the car. Instead, they were armed with guns and scanned the forest. After a while, Lin Xi looked at the scan results and said, "It looks like there are only sporadic beasts here, and there are no signs of beast tide."
"Not bad, here it is."
The two jumped off the roof of the car and went deeper into the forest.
The forest was very quiet, and the few beasts seemed to have restored their instincts. When they saw a giant such as a mobile base approaching, they all hid deep in the forest.
Lin Xi and Chu Jun returned to explore for a few kilometers without any danger.
Lin Xi drove the mobile base back several hundred meters, and finally stopped at a distance of 500 meters from the edge of the forest, preparing to establish a temporary camp here.
Chu Jun returned to the cargo hold, lifted a workbench from the warehouse, and placed it on the ground. Lin Xi pulled a cable from the car and connected it to the workbench.
When the control screen appeared on the workbench, Chu Jungui smiled and said, "Well, this is our second base. Would you like to name it?"
Lin Xi thought for a while and said, "I still like my first home, so call it the footprints. After all, this is the place where we set foot on this planet for the first time. As for this, or the horizon?"
"It's all good. So what about our mobile base?" Chu Jun pointed to the semi-finished product base ~ EbookFREE.me ~ which was showing signs of falling apart, and it was called the pilot. "
Chu Jun wrote down one by one and said, "Okay, I'll be a brand."
"Why are you so serious?"
"Life needs a sense of ritual." Chu Jungui said casually. He just remembered the words, which seemed to be a common word for tactical deception.
"Well, just listen to you." Lin Xi looked particularly obedient.
Chu Jungui lamented that the effect of tactics to cheat women is good.
With the lesson of the first base 'footprints', Chu Jungui and Lin Xi are both ready to run at any time, and naturally they will not spend too much resources and energy on infrastructure. So this time, the two did not choose a rock foundation, but instead found a piece of land that is easy to level, simply shovel the ground and press it to level it.
After the workbench was started, Lin Xi set out to make a third sapling power furnace. And Chu Jungui removed the refining furnace, organic matter separator, and editor from the warehouse one by one, erected it, and then connected the power supply, and a prototype of a base was created.
