Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 487 486. The so-called city can really be built overnight...

Throughout the day, Sefer was busy in the car counting inventory, thinking and adjusting how to carry weapons next.

Shengnai came back with him, carrying a big backpack - the person in charge of the medical station in Ms. Jin Junmei's car was her predecessor.

Seeing that Shengnai had learned a lot and could even maintain medical activities in a mobile base by herself, the person in charge generously gave her a lot of medical equipment and devices.

Simply put, before, Shengnai could only provide some normal medical assistance and support for minor illnesses and injuries, but now it has enough resources to perform surgery.

...Then again, it was hard for Seifer to imagine Sanai wearing a surgical mask and performing surgery on someone on the operating table.

But according to Shengnai's resume, she had indeed performed an amputation surgery on someone, and she did it very well, successfully saving the mercenary's life.

By the way, the amputated part can be repaired using special equipment in the medical station, and can be cultivated and transplanted back after spending money - but the mercenaries don't want it because the prosthetic limb is stronger.

Dr. Mei came back around evening. She was completely unrecognizable as soon as she got into the car. She asked the bored Xiao Tao to take her to the bathroom and then she died.

It's like drowning in water.

Seifer noticed that the intensity of the sunlight today seemed to be weaker than usual, because the cooling cycle of the car body consumed less energy than usual... Perhaps this was one of the signs of the coming season.

This is a gradual process, but it's noticeable enough to be felt, and indeed...

Even the hurricane today was slightly lighter than usual. When the foehn blew over and those guys who had buried themselves in the sand and crawled out with a look of misfortune returned to the convoy, Laika, who had already had breakfast, suddenly reminded them.

"Red Crossbow, multiple energy reactions are starting to increase... Maybe there's less sand nearby, so the sensors are getting much clearer."

The main control's stereoscopic image shows that the energy activity in the other mobile bases around the vehicle body has become intense and stable, as if they are preparing to set off.

However... they did not turn the heavy tracks. When the wind and sand finally became smooth and subtle, a new change occurred with the ringing of a bell that spread throughout the camp.

Let’s not talk about other companies for now. The heavy and thick armor plates of the vehicles of Huanwu Group, which were considered huge and parked on the ground, suddenly cracked and fell flat on the ground.

The roar of hydraulic devices and metal was endless. Those things with long axes of two to three hundred meters and also quite wide were unfolded on the spot. The entire body of the vehicle rotated like a Rubik's Cube, delivering various pre-prepared modules to the designated positions.

The modules that were previously folded between the various areas unfolded at the same time. If it weren't for the loud roar and the extremely long time it took, Seifer would have heard the "Kukukakaka" deformation sound effect in his ears.

It was like the Allied... no, it was like the Soviet base vehicles were unfolding. Each vehicle was rotating and unfolding on the spot, becoming a building unit fixed to the ground.

Some of them turned into units similar to command centers, while others maintained the shape of a rectangle, appearing to have expanded several times and having multiple warehouse doors.

Some even deployed gantry cranes, giving it the look of a maintenance shop - you know what, it looked familiar, like a front-line combat command post!

Seifer suddenly looked at Laika: "Will our car be deformed?"

"...I don't know, Red Crossbow. I'm only responsible for communications and intelligence gathering. As for things like vehicle transformation, most mobile bases probably don't have similar capabilities."

So he immediately turned around to find Tien and asked her directly, "You've been driving for so long. Have you seen any suspicious buttons or levers on the dashboard?"

"Ha, so our driver is finally a little envious of others?" She smiled and waved her hand. "No such nonsense. Most people's cars are the same, so there's no way they have any 'transformation' function."

In other words, you don't have to worry about your thing suddenly growing arms and legs while you're in the storm, and then standing up to attack the enemy.

At least this made sense, and Cypher breathed a sigh of relief. He sat down at his seat, thinking about how to proceed with his work today, when the airtight door opened.

Miss Nana's voice, which sounded energetic after a good rest, could be heard from above, along with someone's low complaints.

"Good morning~ I'm here to play again. The breakfast made by the conductor is delicious."

Today she changed into a sports T-shirt and a short brown denim vest with long sleeves, paired with a scarf around her neck, short denim hot pants for easy movement, and riding boots. She looked like a cowboy about to go out and act in a western movie.

Looking at the tilted hat, Seifer always felt that she should play the role of a trophy tied to a horse.

With her came Feldrich.

She has been quite quiet these days. Except for coming out to eat on weekdays, she does all her work in the room. She doesn't make any noise and doesn't make any special personal requests.

Why are you interested in taking control today?
Seifer waved at her and said, "Speaking of which, Alfred, the headquarters of Abian Company is right next door. Have you considered going there to ascend the throne and become the head of Abian?"

"Don't talk in your sleep, mercenary. Even though that guy suffered losses in this deal with the entertainment company, giving rise to gossip and even causing some investors to disappear, he is still the designated heir."

Feldrich snorted disdainfully, seeming quite dissatisfied with this rule. "Unless he dies, or causes Abian to suffer huge losses for some reason, he can't be liquidated. Do you understand?"

Not quite understanding, Seifer decided to return to his current preparations. "We're about to enter the storm center. Will you continue to follow our car?"

"Don't ask me that question over and over again. Just keep doing what you're doing."

She wasn't in a very good mood, probably because she had been sleeping alone too much recently and was a little unhappy - but there was nothing she could do, as she really didn't have enough time after getting busy.

It was a bit unnecessary to say anything like sorry to her, so Seifer let her do as she pleased and then informed the entire vehicle that they would set off after the external stains were transported.

The destination was Supply Camp No. 1, established in front of the forward base, across an area that was no longer just sand dunes but a complex rocky environment.

It would take several days to go there, and it would definitely not be as easy as having node cities along the way to get supplies, so he told everyone that if they were not sure about the difficult life they were about to encounter, it would be best to contact the Phantom Mist Group.

They will be responsible for receiving personnel and then sending those who wish to return back to the civilized world via material transport vehicles, rather than joining the exploration team.

After a few minutes, Ichika sighed helplessly and told Cypher that it was useless to do so - because everyone had an unstoppable passion for this romantic exploration of the unknown.

Even the most timid-looking juniors were eager to try it out when they talked about setting foot in an area that no one had ever been to, not to mention others.

Even four people from the technical department came to the main control room with great interest, and Xiaotao took the lead in making suggestions, saying that they wanted to come up with some inventions to assist in the exploration!

- What do you want to do, an airplane, or give my car wings and let it fly in the wind?
