Inside The Black Mist Chapter 6: Good to be back

[Lighthouse] An outpost.

This is one of the few outposts in No. 127 Reverse Realm. The lighthouse base was built for the exploration of three Reverse Realm cities and dozens of small towns within 500 kilometers nearby.

It is convenient for personnel to rest, treat and replenish supplies.

The base is built under a dam, and the building 50 meters above the base has a large water purification device built in, which can provide daily water for the base.

At the same time, once a large-scale attack occurs, an artificial flood can be created by detonating the cut-off wall of the dam.

Fortunately, in the ten years since the lighthouse base was built, this suicide defense method has not yet come in handy.

In the heavy explosion-proof door at the entrance of the base, there is a defensive tower on the left and right. The high-power searchlights on the towers are constantly sweeping the defensive trenches in front of them day and night.

Due to the use of intelligent electronic systems for assistance, only one soldier is required to be on duty in each defense tower.

At this time, in the defensive tower on the left, the soldier in black full body armor yawned. Since the defense tower has a filtration and purification system, which can prevent the penetration of black mist, Shi Ming does not need to wear a helmet.

This is one of the few perks of working in a tower.

The built-in communicator of the protective armor is flickering, and a message has been received in the private channel: "How is it, Wei Bo, won't you fall asleep, kid?"

The soldier named Wei Bo smiled and replied: "Just ten minutes ago, I took a nap. My God, the work of the defense tower is really boring me, I should have applied to join Nightcrawler Exploration Corps."

"Forget it, you are a Shangmin, your father doesn't want you to take risks. Except for the common people and lunatics, which normal person would voluntarily join the Nightcrawler."

Wei Bo was about to say something, when suddenly the computer prompts that a warning signal has been detected, which means that the people of darkness are approaching the base.

"Damn it!"

Wei Bo jumped up, waving his fingers quickly on the virtual keyboard, and a holographic window opened in front of him.

In the window, a few stumbling figures appeared in the open area in front of the entrance of the base.

Although due to insufficient light, the soldiers could not see the specific appearance clearly. But judging from the distorted limbs and the gray flame floating on the chest, it is not difficult to judge that they are a few prowlers.

The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, and the prowlers were no threat at all. Since the base was put into use, although this area has rarely been visited by the people of darkness, occasionally there will always be a few things that don't have long eyes.

But Wei Bo's body suddenly collapsed again, because he saw that there was a car behind those prowlers.

Thin shell, no weapons installed, only four tires. And it looked like those tires were still leaking.

This is obviously a vehicle that can be seen everywhere in the city of the reverse world. Rumor has it that the inspiration for the design of the first wheeled vehicle came from the scrap metal in the city of the reverse world.

The soldier couldn't help but rubbed his eyes, thinking he was dazzled. After all, those vehicles should not have enough power to drive them.

Soon he knew why.

It's the Prowler!

Someone tied arm-thick iron chains to these ugly creatures. The other end of the iron chain was tied tightly to the crash barrier of the car, so these prowlers acted as coolies, pulling the car forward.

Prowlers are not livestock, so of course you cannot use a whip to drive them away. So there is a lampshade hanging on each side of the car.

In the transparent cover, there is actually a star crystal grass. The radiance emitted by the star crystal grass made the wanderer instinctively want to stay away, thus creating this scene in the holographic window.

Wei Bo couldn't help but let out a heartfelt exclamation for this brilliant 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, and the soldier code is 1507. I request to enter the base, oh yes, please inform the experiment department , I have a few prowler living specimens here, let them send someone to receive them."

Put his head out of the car window, Tianyang held the standard communicator, and repeated what he said just now.

A slightly flustered voice sounded from the communicator: "The defense tower has received it, now we are verifying our identity, please wait..."

A moment later, the explosion-proof door of the base opened, and several special vehicles for the base drove over. Among them, there are two specimen transport vehicles of the base's experimental department.

The Prowler was accepted, and Tian Yang also handed over the star crystal grass he had collected casually. As for the pillar of star marrow in the tunnel, he couldn't bring it back by himself, but he had already marked the location of the star pillar on the map.

It will be a great achievement to hand in this map later.

Prowler, Star Crystal Grass, Star Pillar Map. These three things are enough for Tianyang to get 4000 contribution points.

In the fortress, with 1000 contribution points, a family of three can live comfortably for a year.

So after registering for Tianyang, the officer in charge of recording looked at the boy with jealousy.

"Your left eye is injured, I suggest you go to the medical center. And you just came back, according to the regulations, you must undergo a full-body examination. Then, it is better to report to the superior officer."

After uploading Tianyang's information to the base system, the officer in charge of base defense suggested so.

Tian Yang made his own request: "Sir, I want to see Commander Nightcrawler."

The base officer was taken aback: "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 things."

Tianyang pointed to his nose and said, "Maybe you noticed that I didn't wear a helmet. Yes, I'm already a sublimator. Moreover, my awakened class is not listed in the information released by the fortress. Perhaps the commander will be interested in this."

"You mean, a brand new class? I'll go...cough, sorry."

The officer finally agreed: "Well, I will let the soldiers take you to the hospital. As for your request, I will report to the Nightcrawler headquarters. As for whether the commander will see you, that is not up to me."

"That's fine, please."

A base vehicle took Tianyang away and entered the explosion-proof door. Looking out of the car window, the boy saw material transport vehicles driving to the storage room.

Two Falcon high-speed guerrilla vehicles passed by, preparing to leave the base. This is the standard vehicle of the Nightcrawler. I don't know which team started a new round of exploration.

In the distance, on the school grounds of the base, several three-dimensional armed weapons are undergoing battle training. They are humanoid weapons developed to make up for the inferior number of sublimators.

This base is still full of vitality as always. The personnel in the base are like a hardworking ant colony, exploring the world efficiently and tirelessly.

Withdrawing his gaze, Tianyang murmured.

"It's great to be back!"
