In the southern hemisphere of Mars, in a crater called Gusev, there are several strange houses, some of which look like upside-down bowls, some of which look like towering oil drums, and some of which look like truck trailers...
About twenty-seven or eight weird houses stand at the bottom of the crater, connected to each other through special passages, forming a sizable base.
Outside the base, you can clearly see radar, Mars rovers, shovels and other tools.
This base is the Mars base established by hundreds of Earth astronauts after they landed on Mars. It is also the first base established by humans on Mars.
There are hundreds of astronauts, including geologists, biologists, agriculturists, computer experts, doctors, workers and other elite talents from all walks of life.
This is a complete team, the pioneers of human exploration of Mars. Their mission is very simple, that is, while carrying a small amount of supplies, they can survive as much as possible while exploring the Martian landscape, minerals, etc.
Survive independently!
It means that you have to rely on yourself for everything, grow your own vegetables, rice and other food, and see your own medical treatment...
Everything depends on the efforts of the entire team!
On this day, hundreds of astronauts continued their busy day according to their usual division of labor.
Three geologists drove a Mars rover to a nearby canyon for investigation. They only had one day.
Depart at dawn and return at dusk.
This is a rule set by the team. After all, the weather on Mars is too bad. Not only the temperature drops sharply at night, but there are also big sandstorms. It is very dangerous to stay outside the base.
The three geologists knew this very well, so they strictly implemented it in the six months after arriving on Mars.
Unexpectedly, after going out today, he never came back. This made the management staff in the base anxious. After some contact, they could not be contacted.
As a last resort, they immediately reported the fact that the three people did not return to the Earth Command Center. The reply they received was that everyone should stop what they were doing and go out to search tomorrow!
After searching for three days, the three geologists seemed to have disappeared from the world and could not be found at all.
On the fourth day, not only were three people not found, four more people disappeared.
On the fifth, sixth, and seventh days, people disappeared one after another, as many as 41 people disappeared!
At this time, the continuous disappearance of personnel directly caused huge panic in the base. The remaining personnel finally couldn't stay any longer and sent out a request for help to the Earth Command Center.
In response to this situation, the Earth Command Center on the one hand comforted the staff on Mars, and on the other hand made emergency coordination and dispatched manpower to Mars.
However, Mars is too far away from the earth. Even with the Federation's most advanced spacecraft, it will take more than a month to go to Mars.
More than a month is nothing in normal times, but for the more than 80 workers on Mars, it is simply too long.
Will they survive it?
The answer was finally revealed in the next week. A week later, all the remaining 80 or so staff members mysteriously disappeared.
Among them are 6 level 5 mutants serving as bodyguards.
"When the ground command center got the news that all astronauts were missing, it was already 6 hours later!"
In the former headquarters building of the Dragon Group, now the headquarters building of the Mutant Management Center, several staff members of the Federal Security Service were introducing the situation to the senior management of the Mutant Management Center.
"The federation means..."
Qin Feng, the true god who was in charge of the mutant management center, frowned and thought for a moment before asking slowly.
"The federation's meaning is very simple. I hope you will send gods and even more powerful masters to Mars as soon as possible to jointly deal with this matter!"
Director of the Federal Security Bureau Wang Yu said solemnly: "This problem is very serious. Even six grandmasters have mysteriously disappeared. Mars is definitely not as harmless as it seems on the surface!"
Qin Feng nodded slightly and said: "Okay, I will go to the Lost World to ask for instructions from all the adults!"
"Then I'll trouble Minister Qin!"
…
As a true god on duty, Qin Feng is naturally qualified to go to the Lost World. In fact, he has been practicing in the Lost World last month. It was only this month that he stayed at the Mutant Management Center when it was his turn to be on duty.
Everyone wants to practice and become stronger, but there has to be someone on Aqua Blue Star, so the senior executives of the Mutant Management Center formulated a rule:
Take turns on duty!
Every month, a true god must stay on Aquamarine and sit in the mutant management center.
Everyone takes turns for a month.
And this month, it happens to be Qin Feng's turn...
Qin Feng left the Mutant Management Center and flew all the way towards the Lost World. It took just over half an hour to pass through the passage and arrive at the Lost World.
In 5 years, it was not just Aquamarine that underwent great changes, the Lost World also underwent great changes.
The most obvious change is——
There are more people.
Yes, the number of people has increased greatly!
In the past five years, as long as someone evolves into a fourth-level mutant, he will be taken to the Lost World and participate in training.
After 5 years, the number of people practicing in the Lost World has increased from 3,600 at the beginning to 15,000 now.
There are 15,000 people scattered within the large formation. Everyone has a corresponding cave. They are separated by more than ten kilometers from each other and will not affect each other.
In the very center of the entire formation, next to the entrance of the passage, there is a towering tree that is not even reaching its top. A young man with black hair is sitting cross-legged under the tree, practicing quietly, like a sculpture.
Qin Feng walked out of the passage, first bowed slightly towards the black-haired young man under the tree to show respect, and then flew towards an island.
"Qin Feng, why are you here? I remember it was just the beginning of the month, why are you here?"
In a pavilion on the island, an ethereal figure was holding a glass of wine, sipping it carefully, and fishing with a fishing rod in his hand.
Good wine, delicious food, fishing on Pinghu, and a leisurely trip.
"Lord Dijian, something happened over at Shuilan Star!"
Qin Feng flew over and said respectfully.
"problem occurs?"
The hand holding the wine glass paused slightly, and Ye Dijian turned his head to look at Qin Feng, frowning slightly: "Something happened again, is it serious?"
Qin Feng is a true god on duty. Under normal circumstances, he has to stay at his post to perform duty. Now that he has come in person, this matter is not a small matter.
"I don't know if it's serious or not..."
Qin Feng shook his head slightly and immediately told what happened on Mars.
"Hundreds of astronauts, all dead?"
Ye Dijian glared: "Does this include 6 Grandmasters? How could it be like this? Isn't Mars a dead planet?"
Qin Feng shook his head: "No one expected such a thing to happen. Now people from the Federal Security Bureau are coming to the door. I hope we can send gods to help investigate the matter!"
"Sending a god? Is it going to be a fuss?" Ye Dijian raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised.
Although humans are now more powerful, the gods are still the top masters. They send gods at every turn. It is indeed a bit fussy. After all, it is just a spark.
"This... the Security Bureau..."
Qin Feng spread his hands and felt helpless.
"Haha, I'm just bored, let me go take a look!"
Ye Dijian rolled his eyes and suddenly said.
