After Yang Ming read the email report compiled by Theia, he couldn't help but ask.
[Theia: All internal monitoring has been forcibly shut down. The specific situation is unknown. This time, the most stringent network ban has been adopted. Unless you go there to see it in person, you will not know what happened. 】
Even Theia could not forcefully obtain information, and I am afraid that only an order from the emperor himself could do so.
"Based on the reactions from surrounding cities, can you guess what happened?"
[Theia: Hmm... To be honest, it is difficult to make inferences based only on the current images, because no one noticed the abnormality at all. The ban on that city is more like a long-planned and deliberately triggered event. 】
The city lockdown began after Yang Ming landed on the planet, and the surrounding cities didn't even respond. From a coincidence perspective, it feels like it was probably a deliberately set trap.
But it actually met Yang Ming's expectations. After all, he was worried about having nothing to do. If the emperor really did it on purpose, it would be a good sign that the other party noticed him.
It would be even worse if the emperor ignored Yang Ming. After all, the primary purpose was to find her. The emperor himself didn't care, and it would be even more difficult to obtain unknown information.
Now it is easier to find traces of the emperor from some clues, so this trip is inevitable.
"I understand, no matter what happened, just go ahead."
After Yang Ming clarified the mission objectives, he went to rest.
At 6 o'clock in the morning the next day, which was the 22nd day of coming to this desert star, Yang Ming quickly prepared everything after waking up and wanted to leave as soon as possible. After all, this was a long-distance driving trip.
After spending an hour washing, eating breakfast, packing up the equipment, and putting all the supplies into the compressor, Yang Ming took Carters and Lesia and drove to the first stop.
The first step was to go to the car dealership. Lian had already arranged the delivery procedures in advance, and she only needed to put the float car into the large prop compressor.
With the addition of floating vehicles and the space reserved for electric vehicles, the storage space of the compressor is basically exhausted.
It can be said that this time he brought everything he could. Yang Ming took a look at the time and saw it was eight o'clock in the morning. The next step was to leave the city and then drive on the highway until he reached the target city.
Outside the city are loess plains or mountains, with nothing interesting to see. Occasionally, you can see electricity towers standing in the distance, which are wireless chargers prepared for long-distance driving.
Although it can only be charged within its coverage area, overall battery life can be greatly improved.
However, the battery power will still slowly decrease over time, and the journey is still far away. Yang Ming stopped in a shady place at noon, which happened to be within the radiation range of the electric tower, so he could charge for a while.
For lunch, I can simply use canned or compressed food. I can use the remote charging of the power tower to heat the kitchen utensils to make cooked food, which is okay.
I took a look at the map and saw that the distance was only a quarter. According to the current itinerary, it was estimated that we would not arrive until tomorrow.
So he needed to spend the night outside, so Yang Ming was naturally prepared and had a complete set of equipment for outdoor rest, such as tents, quilts, and sleeping bags.
In addition, considering the scarcity of trees in this area, Yang Ming also prepared a lot of solid fuels and supports, which can be used for heating or making food.
There are few plants and certainly not many animals, but there are also specific fresh meats and vegetables. Due to the special properties of the compressor, they can be stored without even refrigeration.
After making plans for today, Yang Ming and his party took a brief rest before starting their afternoon journey.
There was nothing special along the way. Apart from the fact that we happened to pass by the outskirts of a city and saw a tribe of wanderers, we didn't find anything else.
The sky was getting darker and the sun was about to set. Yang Ming saw that the distance was more than half way, so he first looked for an electric tower on the map.
To use its radiation to charge your car and use other electrical appliances, you still have to be close there at night.
He found it quickly. The electric tower in the distance was already visible to the naked eye. Yang Ming stopped under a rock hill and started to set up a tent while the sky was still bright and visible.
Carters and Lesia also came to help, and they quickly built one.
Then he started to take out the kitchen utensils and make a fire on the spot to cook.
At this time, it was indeed most convenient to directly grill the meat. I made some vegetable soup and kebabs, and the three of them gathered around the fire to have dinner.
The scene in front of him made Carters sigh with emotion:
“I feel like I’ve had a barbecue around a fire like this before.”
"You mean the time on Vampire Star, right?"
Yang Ming also recalled the past and said,
"That was your first official communication with my team members."
"Yeah, that's the time."
Hearing this, Lesia said:
"Lesia, this is the first time I know."
"Haha, it's okay."
Yang Ming smiled at her and said,
"I will introduce it to you later."
"Owner."
Lesia looked at Yang Ming and said seriously,
"Will you take Lesia with you?"
What she wanted to express was to take her away from the planet. Yang Ming had already made up his mind about this matter, so he said:
"Of course, you are also a member of our team."
"Okay, Lesia remembers it."
After dinner, Yang Ming put away the tableware and looked at the time. There was no need to rest right now.
Although the temperature in the wilderness dropped a lot at night, the current season was not bad, it was not really cold, there was no wind, and there were fires for warmth.
Yang Ming decided to rest later, and after much thought, he organized a stargazing activity.
The night sky looks particularly clear in this place with almost no light pollution.
This place is just in a different position relative to the earth, and many celestial phenomena can still be observed.
Yang Ming began to teach them the specific information represented by different stars, although in fact, Theia had to rely on Theia to accurately identify them.
The effect was quite good, and both of them listened with great interest.
After spending some time like this, the night was long and it was time to go to sleep.
Since there was only one tent, Yang Ming had to say first:
"I have no choice. I'm out and about, so I'll just make do with it for now."
"Uh-huh."
"Lecia, I just want to be with my master."
So the three of them went into the tent to rest together. The space was quite large and there were enough quilts, pillows and carpets.
However, they all cuddled up to Yang Ming.
The surroundings were very quiet, and everyone could clearly hear each other's breathing.
The mood was very calm. Yang Ming, Carters and Lesia had become like family members after a series of incidents.
Because they were too tired after a long day of driving during the day, the three of them quickly fell asleep.
