Chapter 1411 A Little Leisure Time
South-central part of the New World, Coral Plateau.
On the top of the main building of the research base, which was converted from a crashed cabin, Ajian, a decadent scholar with pigtails, was lying on his back, enjoying the afternoon sun.
At the moment when the investigation team suspended its activities, most of the members of the third phase of the research base had withdrawn, leaving only a few people to carry out daily maintenance.
Perhaps it won't be long before the research base will completely stop operating and leave the coral land where it has been stationed for decades.
As the temporary head of the research base, Ajian is looking forward to that day.
The sun is warm, and the wind on the Coral Plateau is gentle and comfortable. Just when he was about to close his eyes, a "whoosh" sound of air flow came from the sky.
This sound is so familiar.
Since the line between the research base and the Star Base was opened, messengers would come here on pterosaurs almost every few days to deliver supplies and exchange information.
But didn't the messenger just leave in the morning? Why is he here again?
Ajian opened his eyes in a daze, and then saw the long black face of the leader of the third group.
"Huh?"
Ajian was a little unresponsive for a while, rubbed his eyes, put on his glasses, and looked again.
"Uh, leader?" The sloppy middle-aged scholar quickly straightened his clothes and climbed up, "And Mr. Anshil and Miss Gail, why are you here?"
The tall leader of the third group, who was half a head taller than Ajian, looked down at him for several seconds with a look like a dung beetle.
Until the latter looked away guiltily, he snorted coldly.
Ajian smiled and touched the braid behind his head.
"Hahaha, I was caught by my boss who came back from a business trip while slacking off. Are you numb?" Gail laughed at the side, breaking the awkward atmosphere on the scene.
"How is the situation here recently?" The leader of the third group asked in a cold tone, straightening his hair that was scattered due to flying.
"Uh, pretty good?"
Ajian replied casually, and when he saw the eyes of the leader of the third phase group become dangerous again, he hurriedly reported in detail:
"The research project on the special intestinal structure of the water monster bird and the research project on the cat lizard dragon lacking a leader but still maintaining a high degree of sociality have come to an end.
You also know that all the projects of the investigation team are shrinking, and the projects on the previous schedule have been postponed indefinitely, and there are no plans to start.
Regarding the maintenance of the research base, we implement the second standard and have been doing it.
The hot air balloon researcher also came over and is repairing the cable and airbag. Judging from the meaning of the commander-in-chief's letter, the research base may be withdrawn to the Star Base within the month."
From Ajian's report, it can be seen that this guy is slacking off, but he should still handle his own affairs well.
The head of the third group looked a little relieved, "This time we are here to go deep into the miasma valley. Can the elevator facilities at the southwest entrance be used normally?"
Ajian was stunned, "The elevator facilities have not been used for more than a month, but it should not be a big problem."
"Well, you take the tools and spare ropes now to complete the inspection and maintenance work. We will enter the valley early tomorrow morning."
Ajian, who was still enjoying his nap time a few minutes ago, had to accept it with a bitter face.
After waving away the sluggish middle-aged scholar like a fly, the head of the third group led the hunters into the research base.
The research base is quite deserted now. The desk in the center of the library is no longer covered with materials and books as before. It is so clean that it makes people uncomfortable.
The incense burner that always burns calming incense is also cold.
The leader of the third group wanted to order some, but finally withdrew his hand, "You two, take some time to rest. I will arrange for people to prepare the supplies needed in the Miasma Valley.
I will give you the miasma-resistant stone first, please keep it properly."
"There's no rush to rest."
An Xier raised his hand and asked, "Madam, I want to exchange information with the plunderers who are responsible for monitoring the movements of the Hazak.
Where are they?"
"Meow!" Mushroom's ears and the tufts of hair on the tips of its ears stood up.
Of course, it also missed its fellow plunderers. The last time it had the opportunity to come here was several months ago.
The leader of the third group paused and said, "Those little guys rarely come to the base. They set up a camp near the southwest entrance.
Except when they take turns to go into the valley to monitor, they usually live near the camp."
Seemingly liking those little guys, the leader of the third group said a few more words, "Although the population is small, the plundering tribe has now established a firm foothold in the Coral Plateau.
They have also established contacts with the performing tribe, and the continuation of the tribe is also guaranteed.
Not to mention, the plundering tribe, which has survived hard in the depths of the miasma valley, has much stronger combat capabilities than the "musicians" of the performing tribe, and is very admired."
"Meow meow~!" Mushroom wagged its tail happily.
"Hmm"
Anxier pondered for a few seconds, "Well, there is no need to rest in the research base.
We can take the necessary items and go to the camp of the plundering tribe to spend the night. On the one hand, we can understand the situation at the bottom of the valley. On the other hand, it is close to the entrance, which will be convenient for entering the miasma valley tomorrow."
Gail added with a smile: "The little mushroom can also have a good chat with its relatives, killing three birds with one stone!"
The leader of the third group naturally had no objection, nodded slightly, and agreed.
There weren't many things that really needed to be prepared, mainly the miasma-resistant protective stone, the mask for filtering miasma, and some basic supplies.
Before the sun set, all preparations were completed.
The group rode on the pterosaur, left the research base, and arrived at the plundering tribe camp near the entrance of the miasma valley before the sun completely set.
As soon as they entered the camp, they saw Ajian lying on a hammock reading miscellaneous books.
"Wow, you guy, do you have a special physique that will be caught by the leader if you slack off?" Gale smacked his lips.
The head of the third-term group had a stern face.
This subordinate, why not throw him back to the old continent.
Ah Jian rolled down from the hammock awkwardly, "No, captain, please listen to my explanation.
I came to check the lifting facilities, but! The little cuties of the plundering tribe have maintained the facilities very well, and the cables have just been smeared with tung oil, so there is no need for me to do anything!"
The leader of the third group made a "shut up" gesture to him, and then he was too lazy to pay attention to this guy and turned to the several Detels who walked out of the camp.
The leading Detel was disabled and had only one arm. He was the leader of the plundering tribe, Moss.
Compared to the skinny appearance when they just left the miasma valley, the plundering tribe is now much more energetic, and the scarred fur also reveals a fierce momentum.
"Meow meow!" Mushroom cheered and rushed over.
He rubbed his cheeks with his fellow tribesmen intimately.
Sandstone, who followed Gale, looked at the plundering tribe gathered together with interest, but finally withdrew his gaze with regret.
"What?" Gale asked curiously after noticing the mood change of his devil muscle cat.
"They are all very powerful warriors, especially the leader. Unfortunately, they are too weak and too old. They are not worth challenging."
"."
Gale waved his hand and slapped Sandstone on the back of his head. "I thought you finally got it. It's boring. You can fight the Corpse Dragon tomorrow!"
