Planet of Sand and Oasis of Iron

Chapter 488 487. Just imagine yourself diving into the deep sea
Seifer led a group of people and moved forward along the navigation beacons established by pioneers in previous years. This huge team naturally attracted a lot of people's attention.

For example, other people in the business alliance, such as the transformation agency - they noticed that this was a typical wave of ragtag forces, but there was the shadow of a certain company behind it.

Some people couldn't sit still, so the other two companies also started sending out teams that night to join this huge convoy.

As for the modification mechanism, if the occasional vibrations felt under your feet are not caused by the vehicle's movement, but by the tracks encountering uneven rocks, then it is the worms that are causing the problem.

The brightly lit road seemed to be packed with people, and the sense of security was really maximized... so much so that Sefer couldn't help but say that this was not an adventure, but clearly an outing.

Feldrich, who was sitting in the control room for the first time today, sneered at this and told him not to be happy too soon.

Sure enough, after only operating for half a night, Seifer saw the convoy constantly breaking up into smaller pieces. Finally, in this long night, only the team he led at the beginning was left.

"Where are the people from the other convoys? Did they get separated?"

Leica put down his headphones and said, "Red Crossbow, previous pioneers left a lot of markings and guides on the ground to guide us to the rest camp. But in fact, this is not the only way."

"Every company has its own ambitions. Everyone wants to be the first to cross the storm belt and become one of the pioneers, so they will also establish safety points in suitable areas along the way."

It's like a sentry post. You can't just find any place to set up a sentry post. On the contrary, some better locations need to be expanded to facilitate receiving people returning from the front line or sending people up to make final preparations.

The impact on communications in the storm circle can be said to be almost devastating. Many times, vehicles have to rely on optics or other means to communicate with each other, so sometimes additional antennas have to be set up to enhance the signal.

Amplifying the signal can easily leak one's own signal to nearby people - then, this is the game of the storm zone.

So according to the guys in the cars behind, seeing any living thing in the eye of the storm is not scary. The scariest thing is hearing that thing speak human language!

According to Cypher, the ground in this shabby place has been washed by the sun over and over again. Even in a storm zone, it's unlikely that anything can grow naturally...

Continuing forward, even in the pitch-black night, Seifer felt as if something outside was gradually becoming clearer.

"It's the wind, and it's a hurricane that blows in only one direction, enveloping the entire Arctic Circle... Red Crossbow, get ready, we're entering the area."

As she spoke, Tien happily manipulated the panel, opening a gap in the metal protective layer above the car body and raising a pillar that could stand even in the wind to the roof.

Then the pillar lit up with an orange light that spread out in all directions. After a few flashes, the vehicles following the car, like small fish around a big fish, also lit up lights of different colors.

"Let me think about how to signal with the flag... Never mind, let's just send an Ahaha first and let the guys behind figure it out on their own."

Tien muttered to herself for a while, then shrugged when she saw that Leica had already turned on the communication amplifier module. "Alright, alright, relax a little. I've never been to this place before, so how can I drive, Captain?"

...Driving is your job, how would I know how to drive.

"Anyway, follow the channel signals first. Be careful of the faults and rocks along the way. The visibility is still quite far. Where is Base No. 1?"

"It's on the edge of the storm's circle. They say there are some amazing sights there, but while those who see it enjoy it, those who go inside don't think so."

Of course, not everyone has the courage to directly confront the might of nature, or even to enter it—not even Cypher, actually, but on the bright side, this is on land, not in water. And then there's... a lot of money.

Besides the initial transportation contract fee, the additional commission from Ms. Jin Junmei must also be extremely valuable. Although she didn't specify how much she would be paid after completing the mercenary system investigation, a little thought would tell.

This involves investigating a serious threat, hostile forces, or even some subversive elements. The money would be ridiculous if it were cheap.

In the communication that had begun to become slightly disturbed, the car leading the way in front of Sefer reported that Camp One was approaching, and then fired a flare into the sky.

In the gray area, another flare shot up into the sky, announcing its location. After the two sides established communication, Seifer heard the next instructions from the leisurely and relaxed voice.

Theoretically, their convoy cannot stop at the camp. After putting down their things, they continue forward and take the people from Camp No. 1 to Camp No. 2 - so what is the difference between the two?

When they arrived at Camp No. 1, a small city built in the rock and carved out of the mountain, the other party told Sefer in a cheerful tone that the road ahead was long and he should be prepared.

Then he turned on the high-intensity spotlights—the blazing beams instantly penetrated the lights in the convoy, streaked across the darkness, and illuminated a wall.

A gray wall that seemed to be moving slowly and had a strange, cloud-like feel.

The camp leader said warmly, "Welcome to the border, friends. Do you see that creeping wall? We call it the End of the World, or the Wall of Sighs."

"It looks pretty spectacular here, right? It'll be even more spectacular once you get there. That's not a solid wall, but a ring of hurricane-force winds. Camp Two is inside. Go find them and repair their camp!"

Cypher thought for a few seconds and asked, "Starting from number two, all the supply camps are within the storm circle?"

"Of course. The pioneers didn't succeed in breaking through the storm circle... Ha, I prefer to call it the Sea of Storms. You are the fish swimming in it."

Ignoring this rather impassioned voice, after completing this round of unloading, Seifer informed the nearby vehicles that the night was still long and that they should be prepared to work in two or three shifts.

Because of the height of the storm circle... let's put it this way, this planet has no clouds, but miraculously has an atmosphere under this sunlight.

Theoretically, the height of the storm circle should be the height of altocumulus clouds below the atmosphere. Seifer even suspected that some of the sand had been blown into outer space, only to slowly return to the surface under the pull of the planet's gravity...

It sounds pretty cool to play with sand.

Continuing forward, as the convoy moved forward, Sefer also saw some incredible scenes.

The hurricane carries the sand flying in the air, and they constantly collide and rub against each other. The sand carrying energy will naturally burst into a blue glow, but not all sand carries energy.

Therefore, the convoy plunged into the dreamy, azure, and hazy environment, and in an instant seemed to have entered a fantasy world that only existed in dreams.

Miss Nana particularly appreciated this illusion. She opened her eyes wide and didn't want to miss this beautiful scene at all. I believe other people in the car thought the same.

Only Tien uttered a loud curse - she was driving fine, but now everything in front of her was a blur except for the geological scan.

If you drive in such an environment and encounter any accident, I'm afraid everyone in the car will die!
