Chapter 464 Vine Island and Outpost

Transit station.

A super small floating island with an area of ​​only one square kilometer.

It was named Vine Island not because it was made entirely of vines, but because it had sufficient water and had a vine ecological network comparable to that of a medium-sized sky island.

The lush dark green vines were stacked and interlaced, replacing the original green fields and taking root on the ground. Giant vines and small plants formed a special jungle-like biosphere on the sky island.

The vines were intertwined and drooped down to weave a group of dark green nests for a large number of creatures to reproduce.

This small island group did not originally exist in the airspace where both sides were located. It was a small floating island specially created by the system to prevent the two airspaces from being too "empty".

These scattered floating islands can form a temporary platform supply network, so that the air fleet can get supplies without landing on the ground.

The fleet shown to the island alliance was not all of his expeditionary fleet. In addition to the exploratory attack fleet he was in, there was also a "bridge engineering team" carrying a large amount of building materials.

The engineering team has only one task, which is to choose an island along the way as a bridge jump platform to provide guidance and temporary berthing for the follow-up troops.

For example, this vine island is a very special "supply island" with a large amount of food and water. The engineering team carrying a large amount of building materials has built a comprehensive small supply station on this island. The temporary small airport can accommodate about three airships.

The other airships can just find an open space to stop. The airport is for maintenance and re-equipment. The biggest damage to this fleet is that the hard locking device of some ships is directly damaged because it is released too quickly-the joint connection needs to be repaired.

For example, the giant ships used by the Ring Island Alliance cannot dock at these small temporary airports.

Those giant ships need special specialized airports for maintenance... Their overly heavy ships even make them need more flat land.

As the cruise fleet gradually descended to a rare open space on this vine island under the command of the engineering team's advance personnel.

"Alive!"

The narrow environment is really not suitable for human beings.

Li Yan ran out of the cabin, took a long breath of the fresh air produced by the plants, and showed an expression of finally being relieved.

He didn't know how those soldiers could get used to living in the cabin for three days, and they slept on the floor for three days in a cabin with ten people sleeping on a large bunk bed.

Thanks to the occasional cold wind in the sky, the air in the cabin is actually quite good, with the unique slight coolness and freshness of the high altitude.

As the officer who received him said, every bit of weight and space on this airship has its own use.

This is the trade-off made by the airship to improve its combat effectiveness-even the sky ships of the Ring Island Alliance divide several large areas to send low-level soldiers in like pigs to let them rest in them, and only the captains can be allocated to relatively comfortable rooms.

Their carrying capacity is not transformed from the void, and building compartments requires wasting carrying weight. It is better to let these consumables sleep directly on the ground.

The rooms provided to senior officers can be more luxurious because of the sufficient space.

"Well, we will stay here for two days, and then set off..." The officer who was in charge of docking him touched the military cap on his head. Gray soldiers walked down from the airship, and everyone's face had more or less the same expression of "finally freed" as Li Yan. The environment of the airship is completely different from the word "comfortable". "If you need it, we will use ready-made materials to help you build a temporary pod, five meters long, with enough space for living." Li Yan listened to the officer's slightly apologetic words, and his eyes swept across the giant vines around him. He wanted to see where Ji Lin was. The vines on this small island grew very well, so well that he, the treeman lord, could feel the breath of life emanating from the vines as thick as a person without using any ability. In the vine forest farther away, large patches of light white petals grew, and some of the withered petals revealed slightly green fruits. The deeper forest was also a scene of prosperity. This kind of island is undoubtedly a paradise for plant lords. "Oh, the commander-in-chief's words, over there..."

The officer seemed to see Li Yan's purpose.

He pointed to the overhead platform built with wooden materials not far away. Unlike the giant vine flatland they were standing on, the overhead platform made entirely of wood brown had the smell of man-made objects.

There were also special temporary sentry towers and wooden houses for people to live in.

A temporary small integrated berth.

Their outpost.

At this time, Ji Lin was thinking about another problem.

With abundant water and abundant food, if they wanted to control this island, they had to face the original residents of this special island... some giant arthropods that were at least half a person tall.

It was not an easy task to control the jump platform island between the two airspaces. The system still tried its best to release creatures that were not so easy to deal with for this small jump platform island.

The corpse of a giant crab was placed in front of him.

It was smaller than the sea mud crab in the territory, but it moved faster and was more vigorous.

This was bad news.

The good news is that these giant arthropods can still serve as food for the outpost. The meat they produce is non-toxic and even tastes pretty good.

The 12.7 bolt-action rifles equipped by the territory infantry can still effectively fight these armored monsters.

Ji Lin's eyes were on the giant vines not far away.

And these giant vines will produce quite good wood, but the liquid secreted during mining makes them more difficult to mine than ordinary wood.

There is food, sufficient water, and enough building materials.

This means that even if this outpost does not rely on the supply of the territory, it can slowly produce various basic materials to maintain... Not bad.

Mineral islands that produce metals and stone mines, strange islands full of various mushrooms, lake islands like flying bowls, elemental islands with a large number of neutral elemental life, etc.

No wonder the engineering team chose to build their outpost on this island.

However, to face these large arthropods...

I need to deploy a lot of troops here for defense... Wait, didn't I just pull Li Yan over...

Ji Lin touched his chin and smiled.

It seems that I don't need to send a special defense force. I just don't know if Li Yan can make the tree man take root on the giant vines.
