Rows of factories are distributed in the huge space outside the wall, and at a glance they are all tall factories. There were no streets, no commercial buildings, no houses for people to live in, not a soul anywhere.
There are vertical chimneys at the top of several factories. Those chimneys are spitting out the waste gas generated by production and processing into the sky, giving the appearance of a running industrial area.
The only different building is the spire in the center.
The minaret is tilted toward the sky, and countless drones are hovering in the sky, with certain flight trajectories, as if they are inextricably linked to the minaret.
Wu Qi and others were about to go deep into the industrial area-like base that was completely inconsistent with their imagination, when suddenly a crisp sound of footsteps came from behind.
"Look over there, outsider."
Wu Qi immediately turned around, holding a long knife on his leg and placing it on his waist, making a fighting posture ready to draw the knife at any time. Others turned around one after another, inevitably showing signs of vigilance.
There were four soldiers in red uniforms, all of different ages, and they were all men. They held red-painted rifles in their legs, models that Wu Qi had never seen before.
One of the four soldiers has a different badge pattern on the chest of his uniform than the others, and his position is higher, that is, he is the captain of the patrol. The captain was one step forward with a calm and calm tone: "Everyone, could you put all your weapons away?"
"Fire the guns." Wu Qi ordered softly, and everyone put away their guns. Wu Qi also lifted his combat posture. Although it didn't mean much, it could show their goodwill to the greatest extent.
"Understandable, yes, let's introduce him to him." The captain said.
"They were the 'Black Cavalry Mercenary Group' living in the enemy-occupied area, he was the group leader Wu Qi, and they were all his teammates. They picked up a tracker, followed the direction of the signal, and then found the base. "Wu Qidao.
"The tracker was released by them. They held the signal terminal with their legs and detected that the tracker had reached outside the wall, so they opened the door for us." The captain put the gun eastward, walked toward Wu Qi, and stretched out his leg. He said, "We are welcome to overcome all difficulties and come to the 'Dawn Base'. He denied the captain of the b17 team, Zhang Jian. "
Wu Qi raised his leg without hesitation and held it with the captain's leg.
Although the people on both sides did not know each other before, at this moment, they can give the other party a certain amount of trust, even if it is the minimum, enough to develop further communication and understanding.
"We must be wondering why there is a base deep in the occupied area. Follow them and he will introduce me to the 'Dawn Base' on the way. After that, we need to tell them the detailed information of the team. "
"No problem. They have a modified tank parked outside. Can you let them drive it in?"
"Can."
Zhang Jian took out a communicator-like machine, pointed the antenna at the wall, and pressed a few buttons. The wall automatically opened a door for large vehicles to enter and exit. During that process, Zhang Jian always misunderstood Wu Qi and no one, and did not show Wu Qi the specific method of controlling the wall.
Gu Changzai ran out, drove the red and silver chariot in, and closed the door. Zhang Jian asked them to leave the red and silver chariot there and follow them alone.
The Black Cavalry group followed the B17 team on the spacious road between factories. On the way, Zhang Jian explained some basic information about Liming Base to Wu Qi and others.
Dawn Base was one of the first wilderness bases established in the Dark Age. However, not long after its completion, it was invaded and surrounded by a large number of mutated animals and plague species. The nearby troops quickly withdrew and abandoned the base. After that, the Supreme Court stabilized its political power and sent troops to build a border wall on the border of human territory. The Dawn Base was isolated from human territory and became an isolated island standing in the occupied area.
One year in the Dawn Era, the first group of people crossed the purgatory-like occupied area and came to the Dawn Base to restart it, so that all factories could start operating again, produce industrial manufacturing and monthly supplies, and purify water; they soon brought The advanced measurable force field technology of the times has greatly transformed the defenses of Dawn Base. The first group of people were worthy of the name "pioneers". They "reborn" the isolated island and successively saved many people living in occupied areas.
The surface of the Dawn Base has high walls, industrial areas, plantations and measurable force field fortifications, while the east side has a well-built underground city, which accommodates a population of 2,000 in the east, providing them with daily living resources and space for building an army. All required weapon resources come from the surface facilities of the base.
Zhang Jian specifically mentioned that although Dawn Base is no longer a lifeless island, it is still completely separated from human territory and relies on pure self-sufficiency and unity to save itself. Therefore, everyone in the base can neither be saved nor be saved. Those who love themselves and save others.
Wu Qi asked Zhang Jian where the power needed to operate the Liming Base came from. Zhang Jian told them that information bluntly.
"There are rich 'ice vapor stone' veins near Didong City. The most important source of electricity is a thermal power station that burns ice vapor stone."
Ice vapor stone is a new ore that was produced in large quantities due to mutated microorganisms in the East after the end of the moon. Its huge advantages and abundant quantity as a resource have directly led to the reorganization and change of the human power generation industry structure. Now 80% of the bases in all human territories adopt the thermal power generation model, including the g011 base and g032 that Wu Qi once passed. The bases all use ice-based vapor stone thermal power generation.
Zhang Jian's simple words created an impression of Dawn Base in the minds of Wu Qi and others. He spoke very skillfully, and it was obvious that he had made many misunderstandings and explained them countless times.
"Captain Zhang, when did you enter Dawn Base?" Wu Qi asked.
"He, he entered the base five years ago, and he was a mercenary of the army." Mentioning this matter, Zhang Jian's mood fluctuated slightly, and he continued, "As far as high salary, he and his mercenaries The brothers of the regiment temporarily joined the army and went to fight the plague at the border. It turned out that the frontline army was defeated and they lost contact with the army in the rear, so they could wait for death in the occupied area. They walked for many days, and unexpectedly Found a tracker and survived the long journey to get there.”
"Maybe that's his fate, so he has decided to stay at Dawn Base with peace of mind. His ruthless person is a member of Dawn Base, and they are already married and have children."
Zhang Jian smiled, and Wu Qi could not see the slightest trace of despair from his mature face that had experienced hardships, but there was a sunny smile that contained happiness and hope.
Gao Yuan at the back of the team remained silent. Guo Baibo and Gu Changzai were obviously affected by Zhang Jian's tone, and their eyes lit up with a little hope.
The group walked a long way, and from here they could already see the bottom of the minaret.
"He's finished speaking, it's our turn. I hope we can tell the truth, because it will affect whether they will let us enter Didong City."
After Zhang Jian finished speaking, the four-person team stopped at the same time.
