Because it won’t be long before the red sun will set under the red earth for at least ten minutes.
Darkness is coming here.
"Is there any place around here that can be used as a temporary base?"
Mai Fan and the others looked around, and it was already very difficult for them to maintain a straight path.
The first condition for them to find a place to camp is that they cannot stray too far from the land they currently occupy.
"Let's just stick to this road and make a mark that we can understand.
The first step is to clear out the relatively dense thorns on both sides of the road.
This will form a natural plant vacancy pit, and we can still find this pit when we return from the station.
Then use a relatively thick marker to point out the direction we need to move forward.
See if the fuel in your hand can be used. Scatter arrows on the land to guide the way, and then insert a direction guide protruding from the surface as a double guarantee."
When the private kitchen owner said these words, his teammates next to him had already started working on the job.
Some mechanical tools beyond our imagination cannot be used, but everyday tools such as machetes, sickles, and axes can still be used.
Several people acted quickly, and a circular area of nearly five to six meters was soon opened around them.
In the direction they were about to go, a huge arrow was sprayed with white paint.
Then there is an ordinary aluminum alloy steel pipe.
The strongest robot bent one end of the steel pipe in the direction they would go tomorrow.
After making so many preparations, Mai Fan and the others left this area with satisfaction. The place they were going to go to now was the only protruding soil slope where the gentle thorns were located.
Judging from the ups and downs of the hills over there, the terrain seems to be quite complicated.
What we want to hide or what we want to avoid in the area that day is a very simple matter.
Mai Fan and others also used various primitive detection methods in the past.
For example, some food attractants, some release sources of toxic substances, and some ultra-long exploration tools, plus simple alarm traps they set up.
After arriving at the hill, they spent the whole time doing this while the sun was setting.
Mai Fan and others didn't know what the depths of these hills were like, and they had no intention of going in.
They only explored the area around the foothold they wanted to set.
After confirming that there was no major danger in the two hillsides around them, they decided to locate their station in the gap between the two hillsides.
You cannot use their capsule houses or steel-structured inflatable houses to live here, but camping tents and slightly protective wooden fences can still be put up.
There is a dead end in the middle of the two cracks. They only need to protect the passage into the crack.
In front of the entrance channel, they also made a wall with the surface red soil. After nailing two steel bars thick enough to prevent large prey from entering, their simple foothold was completed.
.
By this time, it was almost completely dark.
No too obvious bonfires can be lit here.
But human wisdom allows them to cover the tent with a black curtain and light an anti-seepage lamp inside to act as a light source for them to move freely inside the tent.
The lack of access to an open flame does not prevent them from eating under these conditions.
There are many vegetarian foods that can be eaten directly after unpacking, which is the greatest contribution and invention of mankind to those who survive in the wild.
Maybe it was too boring to do anything at night.
Everyone’s sensory feedback from the outside is extremely clear.
In this dark night, some distant roars and squeaking sounds from the movement of wild animals are particularly obvious in the dark night.
There were even roars and roars of fighting coming from all directions, making Mai Fan and the others wonder whether the peace and quiet they saw during the day were their own hallucinations.
Where do these beasts that appear at night come from?
At this time, the trembling of the ground beneath their feet seemed to give another strange answer.
After night falls, these huge beasts emerge from under the earth's surface.
And the path they were traveling was surrounded by the upper floors of the caves where they lived.
Whenever there is any violent noise on the surface of the body, the monsters in the cave beneath the ground will be alerted.
As for these monsters, according to the people of these primitive tribes, they are also trying to survive by being sandwiched between the red worms and the surface layer.
When those sleeping bugs surge upward from deeper depths, it will be the day when these cave-dwelling monsters escape.
When they overflow, a tide of beasts forms, and it becomes a nightmare for ordinary people who live here once a year.
But according to the primitive people here, it has only been three years since the last beast wave.
It takes ten years for a wave of red worms to mature.
Now all this is just a normal reaction of a cave-dwelling animal coming to the surface to look for food.
As long as their station is safe enough, they won't attract the attention of those behemoths.
Their nights are safe enough.
Even though they were confident in the place where they were staying and stationed, these six people did not continue talking that night.
After the last person finished eating, they also turned off the lights in the tent with a tacit understanding.
After his eyes adjusted to the darkness, Mai Fan quietly walked out of the tent.
Wearing a protective blanket that can disguise refracted light, he climbed into a crude observation pit they built.
This pit is a small crawling hole dug on relatively high ground to ensure that people peeking here will not be discovered by other species by rashly popping up.
Through this fluctuation, Mai Fan did not expect to be able to observe any distant animals.
He originally just wanted to see some shadows to estimate the size of these creatures, but what he didn't expect was that on the other side of the hillside where they were stationed, in the darkness, right under his nose, he was lying.
A bunch of tall black shadows passed by quietly.
The huge body should have brought very obvious vibrations to the ground, but these animals' feet were too thick to cushion these vibrations.
In this way, monsters that weigh several hundred kilograms and are four to five meters tall walk silently.
