Three minutes later, several experts each carried different instruments and continued to scan the lines of wheel marks, working very hard. It seems that the threat of the mysterious man is quite effective.

Fifteen minutes later, all scans were completed and experts began to summarize the data and analyze the results.

The mysterious man did not say anything, but stood aside and watched the experts busy, like a snake watching a group of frogs cleaning their dinner plates.

Twenty-five minutes later, the report came out and appeared in front of the mysterious man.

The report is of a ten-wheel heavy-duty truck with the front end slightly rearward, nearly a third of the way. The front is the engine room and the rear is the cabin.

The mysterious man took a look, did not scroll down, and did not pay attention to the piles of data. He just asked: "Does it look like this?"

There was a faint mist in the helmet of the leading researcher, and he was obviously so nervous that he was constantly sweating. Even the air conditioner in the protective armor had no time to cool him down.

"This is just a guess at the appearance, but we have very sufficient data to support it. For example, the position of the cockpit is dynamically reversely calculated based on the depth of the wheel marks when walking..."

The mysterious man interrupted him: "Okay, okay, you don't need to guess what it's like? Just catch up and take a look and you'll know? Everyone get on the bus and let's set off!"

The researchers suddenly panicked, and the chief researcher asked bravely: "Well...will there be a battle?"

The mysterious man casually kicked the remains of a spinyback beast next to him and said, "The other party can kill a herd of over a hundred beasts, what do you think?"

"We are non-combatants..." Before he could finish his words, a gun was stuffed in his hand.

"You are combatants now."

The chief researcher holds a gun. It doesn't matter if he throws it, or if he doesn't throw it, he stays where he is.

The mysterious man opened the communication channel and ordered: "Assemble everyone, be on first level alert, and advance in an exploration and annihilation formation."

On the distant horizon, multiple armored combat vehicles appeared. The formation spread out in an arc, carefully bypassing the remaining base area, and stopped in front of the mysterious man.

An officer came over and asked, "Sir, how far shall we pursue?"

The mysterious man pondered for a moment and said: "The other party is an agent of the Special Operations Division. If he can survive in this situation, even if he is just a junior, he must not be careless. This pursuit may need to be pursued for three to four hundred kilometers, and it will take at least two or three days. Days of time.”

"In this case, we should report to Generals Joseph and William. If necessary, we can also request support." the officer suggested.

"Yes." In front of these two names, the mysterious man put away his arrogance.

The researchers next to them brightened up and 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, turned him half a circle, faced the nearest chariot, and said, "No, you all stay. Just let them do the reporting."

He turned back to the officer and said, "Arrange a car to go back."

The officer said: "There is something wrong with one car. If something breaks down along the way, it will be more troublesome."

"Then two." The mysterious man said nonchalantly.

After a while, more than ten armored fighting vehicles set off one after another, chasing along the wheel marks on the ground. Two other tanks broke away from the main force and returned along the original route.

The 'Horizon' base has shown a prosperous scene, with refining furnaces, organic matter separators, and editors continuously spitting out materials. The four manufacturing machines are also working non-stop, two of them are constantly producing various ammunition, and the other two are producing armor plates, engineering parts, and other structural parts.

Behind the Pilot mobile base, a full-motion 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 at the commanding heights of the entire mobile base and setting up a freshly made 'automatic rifle'.

This 'mechanical keyboard' is fed by a bullet chain, which passes through the opening below and leads to the work area. This ensures the continuity of firepower.

Lin Xi installed several alloy fuel tanks in the warehouse area and continuously poured tree pulp fuel into them.

The two of them had been working for dozens of hours. During this process, Lin Xi only slept twice, each time for an hour. Chu Jungui fell asleep seven or eight times, which totaled 30 minutes. The test subject is given a rest by shutting down and restarting.

However, the test object is not a machine after all. Shutting down and restarting can only relieve fatigue, but cannot solve the real problem. It's just that the metaphysical components have been ready to move, issuing danger warnings, making the test subjects uneasy and speeding up the pace of work.

Lin Xi also felt something about Chu Jungui's strange movements. She temporarily put aside the idea of ​​building a solid base and strengthened the mobile base first.

After adding the trailer, the power consumption of the mobile base increased significantly, 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 thus increasing the cruising range from 400 kilometers to 600 kilometers.

Nearly two days were spent in peace, and no large-scale animal tide was seen. During this rare quiet time, the construction of the Horizon Base was able to advance by leaps and bounds, with production capacity increasing several times in a row.

But there are advantages and disadvantages. The absence of animal tide means that many organic materials have lost a stable supply. Chu Jungui went deep into the forest, but in the end he only hunted a few strange beasts, and the supplies were better than nothing.

The corpses of the war beasts that the two brought out from the footprint base have been almost used. If there is no more beasts, they may run out of food.

While he was busy, Lin Xi suddenly saw something appearing on the horizon and approaching quickly. She quickly adjusted the focus of the eyepiece, and after magnifying it more than ten times, she saw clearly that a group of winged beasts appeared on the horizon, approaching at high speed.

Lin Xi immediately sent an alarm, and Chu Jungui emerged from the workshop of the mobile base, climbed to the top bunker, and looked at the herd of winged beasts.

Lin Xi quickly picked up the machine gun and loaded the magazine. To deal with the winged beasts, a machine gun with sustained firepower is the best weapon.

The herd of protruding winged beasts is not large, only a dozen in total. This amount doesn't even require Chu Jungui, Lin Xi can handle it by herself. Just the appearance of a herd of beasts often means that the tide of beasts from behind will continue to come until the base is submerged.

Lin Xi glanced at the base that looked prosperous just now, feeling a little reluctant in his heart. However, after giving up 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 for us, they are running away!"
