The Federation also has three bases that access the Real Dream, of which Moonlight Unicorn is the largest and most important base. More than 280 explorers have entered the Real Dream from here alone.
At this moment, in the advanced emergency room of the base medical center, most of Alfonso's body was soaked in nutrient solution, with only his head exposed. The huge ward is now crowded with people, including four or five senior doctors, six or seven nurses, several expressionless guys in dark gray uniforms, and seven scientists whose fields range from biology to biology. Extends to psychology, mental illness, etc.
Such a large formation surrounded only Alfonso.
In fact, Alfonso is also very important. He is a senior exploration team member of the Federation. He has served in the special forces for 5 years. He is a senior survival expert and combat expert. He also has a double degree in geology and biology. It is like he was born for a real dream. . He had undergone three full years of targeted training to enter the real dream world, and he lasted until the fourth catastrophe before he died during his last exploration. In the entire federation, there were only more than ten people who persisted until the fourth disaster.
After being killed in the last round, Alfonso received A+ medical treatment. The comprehensive medical expenses exceeded 100 million, and the final assessment was that the damage was 4%. According to this degree of damage, he can withstand at least two more deaths. Therefore, in the new round of changes, he has also been valued by the top federal officials, and has specially activated the 'tenacity' privilege.
After the tenacity privilege is activated, the physical fitness, recovery power and defense power of the designated explorer will be strengthened by about 30%, and the survivability will be greatly improved. The top federal officials hope that he can survive the 4th Catastrophe with this privilege, or at least persist until the 4th Catastrophe.
Although tenacity was classified as a C-type privilege in the evaluation, which was the most basic privilege, the Federation currently only had a few privileges in its possession. Being able to use one on him would already place it in the top five.
At this moment, Alfonso's eyes gradually became clearer and his consciousness returned. A doctor next to him nodded to the man in gray uniform and said, "You can ask questions, but not for too long."
The man with a poker face in gray uniform sat in front of the medical cabin and said: "I am Agent Wood from the Special Intelligence Division of the Bureau of Investigation. These are all experts at the base. Now I need to know the entire process of your exploration. I cannot miss anything. A little detail.”
Alfonso said slowly: "This exploration was going well. I killed a guy from the community on the second day and successfully reunited with two of our people. I became the captain. Our luck later also changed. Yes, I found 2 places in a ruins, and a wild horse also gave me a place..."
"Wait, did you just say ruins?"
"To be precise, it's two stone slabs and a clay pot on top. There are some patterns on the pot, which is very original. The two quotas are placed in the pot."
The man from the intelligence office exchanged a few words with the scientist next to him and learned that primitive races occasionally appear in real dreams. Such relics are probably the traces of life left by primitive races.
The uniformed man said: "You continue."
"Then the three of us found a good place and prepared to set up a semi-permanent camp here to control the surrounding area. That night, the three of us were doing our own things in the camp when we saw something falling from the sky, and then, I'm here."
The man in uniform asked: "What?"
Alfonso tried to remember: "Like a branch of a plant?"
"A single plant branch can kill you? Are you sure you can see clearly?" The man in uniform obviously didn't believe it.
"As soon as I saw it, I rushed into the fortifications to prepare for enemy attacks, and then it suddenly died. So, I...just took a look."
Alfonso suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, which made him speechless. The doctor next to him quickly said: "He must have surgery!"
The man in uniform stood up and walked out of the ward with some reluctance. The attending doctor remembered something and asked: "Is the medical plan still based on the plan?"
The man in uniform shook his head and said coldly: "No, the plan is too expensive. We will wait until I report to the superiors. For now, let's stick to the basic plan."
The attending doctor nodded and waited until the uniformed man left before shaking his head. A young and beautiful nurse next to her stuck out her tongue and whispered: "It's so miserable!"
"There is no way. Who made him die so quickly? He didn't even survive the first disaster. The superiors used their privileges on him. I'm afraid he is furious now!" The attending doctor made a few comments and waved over. A young doctor said: "You don't need me for the basic plan. George, you will be the surgeon. This is a rare opportunity, so you can gain experience."
The young doctor looked a little nervous, "I, can I do it?"
The attending doctor patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's nothing, just go ahead and do it. There are only 5 molecular knives anyway. If it breaks, it will break."
On the upper level of the base, an admiral sat at his desk with two reports in front of him. He said helplessly: "Mark alone is an A-level team. Alfonso has joined two team members, which is considered an A+ level team. This is only 5 Oh my god...are we going to be overtaken by the Dynasty this time?"
A capable woman sat opposite the admiral. At this time, she handed over a piece of information and said, "The latest information is that Hou Wei and Xu Fang, the two aces of Dynasty III, have died in real dreams. The cause of death is unknown."
The admiral looked a little better and said: "So now there is only one senior expert left in the three departments? It is not a cause for concern."
The female officer said: "I heard that Hou Wei was unwilling to give up and said that he would enter the real dream for the third time to take revenge."
"Internal strife? It's still the same old drama!"
Real dream, early morning on the 6th day.
Chu Jungui emerged from the forest carrying a long log and walked towards the camp. The distance of several hundred meters is neither long nor short. This log, which is 50 centimeters in diameter and seven or eight meters long, is thrown into the open space as if it has no weight on Chu Jungui's shoulders. There are already several similar logs on the ground.
Chu Jungui looked at the number of logs and called Kaitian in his mind: "Come back and process the wood."
Kaitian's voice immediately sounded in his consciousness: "Wait, Master, I found traces of human activities here!"
"Huh? Want to gain something again?" Chu Jungui stood up and ran towards Kaitian's position.
When Chu Jungui arrived, Kaitian was flying around a tree in a sparse forest.
This sparse forest is actually quite far away from Chu Jungui's current camp. The straight-line distance is close to 40 kilometers, and the distance humans can walk is more than 60 kilometers.
Chu Jungui divided the 50-kilometer radius of the camp into his own. Unexpectedly, Kaitian had already wandered here in just a few hours.
"Master, there were traces of human activity here 15 hours ago. It was a person. However, he was very cautious and hid most of the obvious traces. However, the footprints left in the soft soil cannot be erased."
Chu Jungui pulled out the map and studied it, and found that this sparse forest seemed to be connected to a wider area. During yesterday's cleanup, more than half of the people were in this direction. Now there are traces of explorer activities again, and there is no guarantee when they will come back.
Sparse forests are different from dense forests. The dangers here are relatively much smaller, but they are very suitable for hiding. Generally, explorers will move at the edge of dense forests, but when encountering sparse forests, they will pass directly through the forest. The same was true for the explorer discovered by Kaitian. He went deep into the forest for several kilometers, then circled around and retreated.
"Master, it seems that this is one of the human's exploration directions, and he should come again."
Chu Jungui thought for a while, squatted on the ground, stretched out his hand and poked a hole half a meter deep in the ground. You can tell by the feeling on your hands that the earth is fertile and there is plenty of water under the surface.
"Wait for me here." Chu Jun returned to the camp and rushed back a moment later, holding the cactus branch in his hand. It has been some time since this branch was cut, and it is a little wilted at the moment.
Chu Jungui planted the branch in the hole he had just poked, leaving only a fist-sized section exposed, then buried it with soil and poured a bottle of water over it.
The vitality of this cactus is extremely tenacious. When it comes into contact with the moisture in the soil, its activity immediately increases dozens of times, and roots have begun to grow.
Previously, the cactus was growing in a dense forest, and a large open space was cleared. Now that it is planted here, even if there is no underground radiation vein replenishment, the radiation intensity will not decline for dozens of days. Only the head of this branch was exposed, and the radiation was weakened by less than half, but it was still tens of thousands of roentgens in radiation. There were not many natural obstacles in this sparse forest. Within a kilometer radius, it instantly became a dead place, and human activities would kill it in two or three minutes. To cause death, it can only stay for no more than 15 minutes from 1,000 meters to 5 kilometers away. It is slightly safer beyond 5 kilometers.
After planting the cactus branches, Chu Jungui took Kaitian back to the camp. Now there were several logs that needed to be processed and burned into charcoal. All kinds of ores had been mined and shipped back, and they were waiting to start the furnace.
In the evening, the first batch of molten iron was released from the newly built smelting furnace, and Chu Jungui harvested more than 100 kilograms of metal. The metal composition obtained this time is 90% iron, and the remainder is a dozen other components. Physically, it is softer than normal iron and has a lower melting point.
Chu Jungui filled the second furnace with materials, lit the fire, and returned to the sparse forest with Kaitian. Sure enough, I saw equipment scattered on the ground and a quietly floating red quota light group. We have no idea what this explorer looked like, where he came from, or when he died.
He was obviously very cautious during his lifetime, searching carefully and moving carefully, but these good habits happened to harm him. The place where he finally died was more than 700 meters away from the cactus branches, and he didn't even see it. Even if I saw it, I would never think that this fist-sized plant would be dangerous.
Chu Jun collected the things, cleaned up the traces of the scene, and returned to the camp with Kaitian.
Day 7, early morning.
Chu Jungui picked up two sets of equipment and a return qualification in the sparse forest.
