"Boss, shall we go deeper inside?" Xiaobing looked at Li Zhi and asked.
After the Ice Soul Group's exploration team left the Gray Sand Beast Group, they did not rush away. Instead, they stayed behind and watched. The Gray Sand Beast Group seemed to know that the Ice Soul Group was not easy to mess with, so they were killed and injured.
After two to three hundred thousand gray sand beasts, they did not pursue them again.
In other words, the Ice Soul Group's exploration team has now moved from inside the initial 'encirclement circle' to outside the encirclement circle.
"Don't worry yet!" Li Zhi shook his head, looking at the gray sand beasts covering the sky, he was really shocked. This "beast tide" that Li Zhi felt in the "apocalyptic world" is still a little different!
The beast tide is a wide variety of mutant beasts, and it is very shocking to be sent out in a group, but it is not like this gray sand beast group, which only consists of a single species, or one race!
When humans look at gray sand beasts, except for their size, their appearance is basically the same. A group of identical creatures stretches all over the sky, and the dense feeling is definitely a different visual impact.
"Yes!" Xiaobing nodded and stood next to Li Zhi obediently.
Shi Sha looked ahead and asked with some doubts: "Boss, since we have the ability to eliminate these gray sand beasts, why don't we eliminate them all?"
"Are there any benefits?" Li Zhi asked with a grin.
benefit?
Shi Sha thought for a moment and said, "Isn't the material on the gray sand beast a benefit?"
Li smiled, shook his head, and said softly: "It is a benefit, but relatively speaking, this benefit is not enough!"
"Aren't you in the same group?" Shi Sha asked softly, with some doubts in her eyes.
The 'group' she refers to refers to human beings, regardless of nationality or race.
"They are a group, but in the doomsday world, are the survivors all of the same mind? Not necessarily. Where there are people, there will inevitably be grudges, and where there are interests, there will inevitably be selfish fights. Therefore, everything is just
It can be relative, not absolute!" Li Zhi said softly.
Shi Sha nodded and didn't ask anything, because she had already understood. The reason why Li Zhi didn't order the exploration team to wipe out all the 'grey sand beasts' was because he had selfish motives!
"The 'extraordinary ones' have arrived!" Xiaobing reminded softly.
A large number of gray sand beasts fell in front of them. The number of extraordinary beings who entered the entrance of the folded space was definitely quite large, at least twenty or thirty.
"Let's go!"
Li Zhi turned around and walked towards the inside of the polar car. There was no need to watch anymore. The results had already come out. The only regret was that he didn't know the leader behind these gray sand beasts, or the 'Beast King' hiding there.
There, I never came out from the beginning to the end.
There are more than two million gray sand beasts. I'm afraid it's not that easy to create such a large group, right?
I don’t know if that ‘Beast King’ will feel distressed!
However, the gray sand beast can only be regarded as a "cannon fodder" unit and cannot be used for much purpose. The only thing that can interest Li Zhi is the "sand bead" in the gray sand beast's body.
About ten kilometers away from the original place, Xiaobing reported that the exploration robot had discovered a 'sand diamond' zone. Although it was not considered a rich ore, the number of 'miscellaneous sand diamonds' below was probably hundreds of thousands!
"Hundreds of thousands?" Li Zhi hesitated and asked, "How deep under the desert is it and is it easy to mine?"
Xiaobing nodded and said: "The depth of fifty to eighty meters under the desert is considered shallow and should be easy to mine. After our robot goes down, it will be able to clean up this sand drill zone in a short time!"
"How many days will it take in the short term?"
Xiaobing blinked and said: "Three days, no more than seventy-two hours at most!"
Seventy-two hours?
The time is not too long, and it is not too short.
Li Zhi touched his chin and thought for a while before saying: "How far is it from the entrance to the folding space?"
"It's about thirty-eight kilometers away!" Xiaobing replied.
Only thirty-eight kilometers? In other words, the distance is not too far. After the gray sand beasts are cleaned up by the group of extraordinary beings, an exploration team may come over at any time in two days!
"Let's mark it first and move on!"
Li Zhi didn't give the order to stop, and he didn't even reach the place where they set up camp.
After Xiaobing took the order, the traffic flow of the exploration team continued to move forward. Because the speed of traveling in the desert was not very fast, and the team was relatively large, fifty kilometers per hour was probably the fastest speed.
During the march, we were attacked by many scattered gray sand beast groups one after another, but they were all small groups, and the largest one did not exceed a thousand gray sand beasts!
The group that was probably summoned by the 'Beast King' didn't have time to rush over, and they didn't know that the large army of gray sand beasts in front of them had been killed by humans.
I also encountered a group of medium-sized ‘yellow sand ants’. The huge yellow sand ants covered the desert, each one was as big as a small arm, and the number was staggering.
At least half of them were 'burned' before they retreated!
Shi Sha came over with a roasted half-black yellow sand ant, handed it to Li Zhi, and said with a smile: "Try it, it tastes pretty good, I tried it just now!"
"Can it be eaten?" Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, took the roasted yellow sand ants over, opened the legs of the yellow sand ants, and exposed the white and tender meat inside, with a refreshing fragrance wafting around.
Try putting it in your mouth, it has a hint of sweetness and the texture is quite good, almost like crab meat, with a bit of chicken flavor in it!
"Not bad, it's really good!" Li Zhi nodded in praise while eating. He raised his head and asked Xiaobing curiously: "Are there anything like the 'sand beads' in the body of the yellow sand ant in the body of the yellow sand ant?"
Xiaobing shook his head and said: "Ordinary yellow sand ants don't have it in their bodies. As for whether the advanced yellow sand ants in the group have 'crystals' in their bodies, we don't know yet!"
"Half of the yellow sand ant population was wiped out, and there wasn't even a single advanced yellow sand ant left?" Li Zhi was stunned for a moment and asked.
Xiaobing imitated Li Zhi, shrugged his shoulders, shook his head and said, "No, the ones who died were all worker ants. There were not many high-level yellow sand ants, and they seemed to be more afraid of death, so they didn't come out at all.
!”
Li Zhi looked at her and said, "How about we catch up now and kill the remaining group of yellow sand ants?"
"Boss, I've run away!" Xiaobing had a somewhat helpless expression on his face.
"Didn't he just run away not long ago? Can't he catch up?" Li Zhi chuckled twice and said without caring much.
"If you can catch up, do you want to catch up? But the group of yellow sand ants has already penetrated into the desert. If you want to find them and eliminate them all, it will take some effort to do it!" Xiaobing blinked.
Asked with a wink.
Li Zhi chuckled twice, shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's just consider them lucky this time. We'll wait until we meet next time." After a slight pause, he continued: "The roasted yellow sand ants taste pretty good. I asked.
Ask the employees in our company if anyone wants to eat, and if you want to eat, you can bring some!"
"OK!"
Most of the yellow sand ants have been burned into black charcoal by fire, so the number that can be picked out and eaten is not too much. Fortunately, the number is huge, and everyone just wants to have a fresh taste, and they don't think of the yellow sand ants as dry food!
After a little tidying up, move on!
After driving for about two hours, Xiaobing reported that another 'miscellaneous sand drill belt' had been explored underground ahead. "Boss, the storage capacity this time is very rich. According to my calculations, in this sand drill belt, at least
Contains 20 million stray diamonds!”
Twenty million?
It’s worth stopping to dig in and explore!
"How far is our current location from the entrance to the folding space?" Li Zhi nodded and asked.
"It's about a hundred and eighty kilometers away!" Xiaobing said after calculation.
It has been almost five hours since we left the Gray Sand Beast Herd, and we stopped and stopped along the way. The normal driving time is only about three hours.
"Okay! It's getting late, let's set up camp first!" Li Zhi said.
Xiaobing blinked and asked, "Do you want to mine the sand diamond belt below?"
Some sand diamond belts have been discovered one after another on this land, but the number is too small. The most is only a million, but they are more than 200 meters deep under the desert.
“Is it easy to mine?”
"It's not difficult!" Xiaobing said excitedly: "The sand diamond zone is about 120 meters below, and the deepest will not exceed 300 meters!"
Li Zhi looked at her and suddenly asked curiously: "Do you like mining?"
Xiaobing was stunned for a moment, then tilted his head and thought for a while and said: "I don't know either! But I feel that since I have discovered the mineral belt, it would be a waste if I didn't dig it out, and I would feel uncomfortable.
a feeling of!"
"Haha, okay, let's dig it!" Li Zhi laughed twice. People like to 'work', so as a boss, what can I say?
"Okay, I will arrange for people to mine now!" Xiaobing said happily and disappeared in front of Li Zhi.
The smile on Li Zhi's face faded, he frowned and said to Shi Sha beside him: "Go, call Lao Zhao and the senior staff of the exploration department over, let's have a meeting!"
"yes!"
Shi Sha turned around and walked out!
"Ouch, ouch!"
Sha Erha ran in at this time. After seeing Li Zhi, he roared aggrievedly, his voice full of grievance. Although he didn't understand "dog language" and couldn't translate its original words, I guessed that it probably meant,
I have been bullied by Lao Huang again, and I hope that Li Zhi, the 'owner', will come forward to find revenge for it!
Li Zhi rolled his eyes, raised his leg and kicked it away, and said angrily: "You have the nerve to come here to complain to me and find a 'beautiful girl' for you. You can't even figure it out yourself, but you still have the nerve to call me Mao Xian."
Hey, call me again, you can stew dog meat and eat it!"
"Ouch!"
Silly Er roared, as if unwilling to do so.
"Fuck, you dare to talk back!" Li Zhi glared, so frightened that Silly Erha shrank his neck, turned around and ran away.
"Don't make such a fool of yourself, you can't deal with Lao Huang, so you don't have to come back!"
"Woooo~!"
This is a response to Li Zhi.
Soon, Zhao Sihai led several senior managers from the exploration team over. Including Shi Sha, there were a total of twelve people.
"Old Zhao, what do you think of this location?" Li Zhi asked, sitting on a chair and looking at the projected map in front of him.
Zhao Sihai said: "It's not bad. If nothing happens, it will take about three hours to reach the entrance to the folding space from here. The distance is 183 kilometers. The distance is not too far, and it is not considered incoming." A little.
After a pause, he looked at Li Zhi and continued: "Placing the 'temporary camp' here is a bit far. I prefer to place it about a hundred kilometers away from the entrance!"
The distance is short and the risk factor is relatively low. Entering the desert for 180 kilometers is considered to be "deep" inside the folded space.
Li Zhi did not refute Zhao Sihai's words, but nodded and said with a smile: "I originally thought of one hundred kilometers, but now there is a slight change. Xiaobing said that there is a 'sand diamond belt' under our feet, which contains at least 100 kilometers of sand."
It contains 20 million sand diamonds and is quite easy to mine!”
"Then let's put the temporary camp here!" Zhao Sihai listened to what Li Zhi said and changed his tune without saying a word. More than 20 million sand diamonds are not too small. If you want to calculate it based on the mining time
If so, it would take at least ten days and a half to mine it, so one hundred and eighty-three kilometers is just one hundred and eighty-three kilometers, it’s not impossible!
"Ha ha!"
Li Zhi raised his head and laughed twice!
"Okay, then place the temporary camp here. In a short period of time, we will use this place as a base to explore within a three-hundred-degree angle. Let's tentatively set the distance to a radius of one hundred kilometers!" Li Zhi continued.
In other words, except for the direction in which everyone came, there is no need to go back and explore, the surrounding area of 100 kilometers must be explored in every direction.
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to go out right now!" Zhao Sihai understood what Li Zhi meant.
Li Zhi paused and added: "Use robots as the mainstay and employees as supplements. Try to avoid unnecessary casualties. Our company's personnel are precious and should not be lost here!"
"yes!"
The boss's words warmed the hearts of other senior employees present. Having such a boss is indeed the greatest blessing in this life!
In fact, the current distance is still close to the edge of the 'entrance' for the huge folding space.
Li Zhi’s idea is to build a ‘supply point’ between 180 and 200 kilometers away, which can be used by other exploration teams for repair and use, whether they go in or come back!
The benefits are also obvious. The entrance is actually the best 'supply point'. Whether it is inside or outside the entrance, it is a huge benefit.
But in that area, it is a bit difficult to control the overall situation. There are too many people focusing on two points. Instead of competing with those large and small forces for profit, it is better to jump out.
Although there are definitely the most people at the two points now, when the abilities of the evolvers on the earth's side improve in the future, the 'city point' inside will also be indispensable!
Around the entrance to the folded space, at least four 'supply points' must be established in four directions. Of course, if conditions permit, it would be best to build eight. By then, the 'entrance' can be perfectly surrounded by two hundred
Within kilometers!
However, risks and benefits are also equal. In the future, when races from the folded space come out, the first ones to be affected will be these 'supply points' of the Ice Soul Group's exploration department.
It's still in Li Zhi's mind for the moment, and it hasn't been finalized yet. Let's ask people to go out for exploration first, and then we'll make detailed arrangements when we get back! (To be continued)
