Lighthouse Outpost.
This is one of the few outposts in the 127th Reverse World. The Lighthouse Base was built for the exploration of three Reverse World cities and dozens of small towns within 500 kilometers.
To facilitate personnel rest, treatment and replenishment of supplies.
The base was built under a dam. The building, which is fifty meters above the base, has a large water purification device inside that can provide daily water for the base.
At the same time, in the event of a large-scale attack, an artificial flood could be created by detonating the dam's cutoff wall.
Fortunately, this suicidal defense method has never been used in the ten years since the lighthouse base was built.
Inside the heavy explosion-proof door at the entrance of the base, there is a defense tower on each side. The high-power searchlights on the towers sweep across the defense trenches in front day and night.
Because of the assistance of intelligent electronic systems, only one soldier is needed to be on duty in each defense tower.
At this time, in the left defense tower, a soldier wearing black full body armor yawned. Because there is a filtration and purification system in the defense tower to prevent the black fog from penetrating, the soldier does not need to wear a helmet.
This is one of the few benefits of working in a tower.
The armor's built-in communicator flickered, and a message was received in the private channel: "How's it going, Wei Bo, are you guys asleep?"
The soldier named Wei Bo smiled and replied, "I took a nap just ten minutes ago. God, I am getting bored working on the defense tower. I should have applied to join the Night Walker Exploration Corps."
"Don't worry about it. You are a high-ranking citizen. Your father doesn't want you to take risks. Except for low-ranking citizens and lunatics, who would voluntarily join the Night Walkers?"
Wei Bo was about to say something when suddenly the computer prompted that an alert signal had been detected, which meant that dark creatures were approaching the base.
"Damn it!"
Wei Bo jumped up, his ten fingers dancing quickly on the virtual keyboard, and a holographic window opened in front of him.
The window showed an open area in front of the base entrance, with several staggering figures appearing.
Although the soldiers could not see his face clearly due to the lack of light, it was not difficult to tell from the twisted limbs and the gray-white flames floating on his chest that he was
Judging from the situation, they were a few prowlers.
The soldier breathed a sigh of relief. The few wanderers were not a threat at all. Since the base was put into use, although this area was rarely visited by the dark people, there would always be a few blind creatures that came in occasionally.
But Wei Bo's whole body suddenly tensed up again, because he saw that there was a car behind those wanderers.
It was a thin shell, without any weapons installed, and only had four tires. And it looked like those tires were leaking air.
This is obviously the vehicle that can be seen everywhere in the city of the opposite world. It is rumored that the design inspiration of the first wheeled vehicle came from the scrap metal in the city of the opposite world.
The soldier couldn't help but rub his eyes, thinking that he was dazzled. After all, those vehicles should not have enough power to drive.
He soon found out why.
It's the Prowler!
Someone had tied chains as thick as arms to these ugly creatures, and tied the other ends of the chains to the car's crash barrier, so these wanderers acted as coolies, pulling the car forward.
Prowlers are not livestock, so you can't use a whip to drive them away. So there is a lampshade hanging on each side of the car.
There was actually a Star Crystal Grass in the transparent cover. The radiance emitted by the Star Crystal Grass made the Wanderer instinctively want to stay away, which led to the scene in the holographic window.
Wei Bo couldn't help but sigh at this wonderful idea. Then the defense tower received a communication: "Defense tower, can you hear me? I am Tianyang, a member of the fourth team of the collection team, soldier code 1507. Requesting to enter the base. Oh, by the way, please notify the experimental department that I have a few live specimens of wanderers, and ask them to send someone to receive them."
Tianyang stuck his head out of the car window and repeated what he had just said using a standard communicator.
A slightly panicked voice came from the communicator: "The defense tower received it and is now verifying your identity. Please wait..."
A moment later, the explosion-proof door of the base opened and several base-specific vehicles drove in. Among them were two specimen transport vehicles from the base's experimental department.
The Wanderer was received, and Tianyang handed over the Star Crystal Grass he had collected. As for the Star Marrow Pillar in the tunnel, he couldn't bring it back, but he had marked the location of the Star Pillar on the map.
marked.
Handing in this map later will also be a great achievement.
Wanderer, Star Crystal Grass, Star Pillar Map. These three things are enough for Tianyang to get 4,000 contribution points.
In the fortress, 1,000 contribution points can allow a family of three to live without worries about food and clothing for a year.
So after registering Tianyang, the officer in charge of recording looked at the young man with some jealousy in his eyes.
"Your left eye is injured. I suggest you go to the medical center. And you just came back. According to regulations, you must undergo a full body check-up. Then, it would be better to report to your superior officer."
After uploading Tianyang's information to the base system, the officer in charge of the base's defense made the following suggestion.
Tianyang made his request: "Sir, I want to see the commander of Night Walker."
The officer at the base was startled. "I'm afraid the commander won't make a special trip just for a collection team member, even if you bring back a lot of stuff."
Tian Yang pointed at his nose and said, "Perhaps you noticed that I am not wearing a helmet. Yes, I am already an Ascendant. Moreover, my awakened rank is not in the information released by the fortress. Perhaps the commander will be interested in this."
"You mean, a completely new class? I'm... Ahem, sorry."
The officer finally agreed: "How about this, I'll have the soldiers take you to the hospital. As for your request, I will report it to the Night Walker headquarters. As for whether the commander will see you, that is not for me to decide."
"That's all, thank you for your help."
A base vehicle took Tianyang away and entered the explosion-proof door. Looking out of the car window, the boy saw that a number of material transport vehicles were heading to the storage room.
Two Falcon high-speed guerrilla vehicles passed by nearby, preparing to leave the base. These were standard vehicles for the Night Walkers, and it was unknown which team was starting a new round of exploration.
In the distance, on the training ground of the base, several three-dimensional armed aircraft were conducting combat training. They were humanoid weapons developed to make up for the numerical disadvantage of the Sublimators.
The base is still as vibrant as ever, and the people in the base are like a hardworking ant colony, exploring the world efficiently and tirelessly.
Looking away, Tianyang murmured.
“It’s good to be back!”
