"Back then?" Bagnell's face showed a bit of sadness, but his tone was surprisingly calm: "The five of us had a very good relationship back then. Me, Black King, Ba Dao, Wen Xiangli, and Zhi Fei. Do you still remember The card that helped me repair it? Celia is Zhi Fei and also my wife. We formed the Black Hibiscus Card Repair Group back then, and we were invincible and invincible! Even the military was defeated by us. In hand."

Speaking of this, Bagnell looked arrogant, but this arrogance passed away and his tone suddenly became lower.

"Later, we accidentally discovered a trail window in the jungle. Everyone was very excited, and everyone unanimously decided to explore this trail window." Bagnell's face became more bitter.

"Jingchuang?" Chen Mu was shocked: "Is it the one we walked through?"

"No." Bagnell shook his head: "The path window is in the Vanas District. We found it deep in the jungle during a mission. We were very strong at that time, even stronger than our team now. , we can easily enter the depths of the jungle. The trail window is in an inconspicuous small canyon, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to find it now.”

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but remind Chen Mu: "Boss, we must explore this gray layer as soon as possible and find other paths and windows. Otherwise, the safety of this base cannot be guaranteed."

Chen Mu nodded in agreement.

They have a huge advantage in exploring the gray layer. In addition to the exploration weapon, they also have long-distance communication cards like [Qianlika]. Because the surface of the gray layer is flat and there is no interference, communication can be achieved in extremely remote places.

Bagnell's face showed nostalgia and sadness: "We went well at first. During the previous sandstorms, we all found shelter from the wind. And we began to gradually grasp the rules of sandstorms, which made us feel relieved. . Unexpectedly, we ran into trouble soon after."

Speaking of this, Bagnell's eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"That storm came so suddenly without any warning. And it was completely different from the previous sandstorms. That storm was an extremely terrifying cold current. The cold current carried the sand and dust, covering the sky. Because the temperature was too low, all the sand and dust condensed on the surface. Some were as big as eggs, some were as big as fists, and the largest ones were as big as shuttles. They fell like raindrops, and the canyon where we were hiding collapsed.

In order not to be buried alive, we have no choice but to fly out. However, we underestimated the power of this cold crystal storm. The wind was so strong that when we came out, we were all blown away. I was lucky. I rolled into a cave with leeward wind and survived. Only my legs were broken. "

The expression on Bagnell's face was dull.

"I had no medicine on me and stayed in the cave for three days. During these three days, I kept dialing their communication card every day, but there was no reply. Three days later, when my legs were a little better, I walked out of the cave. I I was so hungry that I wanted to find something to eat, but as soon as I walked out of the cave, I found a lot of corpses. They were smashed to pieces, and many of them were hard to tell who they were, but I knew they were my companions. Later, I found a shuttle with food and that’s how I survived.”

Bagnell's tone was very calm, but Chen Mu's heart was frightened. He could imagine the tragic situation.

"They were all dead, and I thought I was going to die too. I didn't think I could get out of this gray layer, so when the sandstorm came, I didn't hide at all. I thought, just die, because we are all going to die anyway. . I was swept up into the sky by a sandstorm. I thought I was going to die. Unexpectedly, when I opened my eyes, I saw the window. I thought it was ridiculous at the time. I wanted to die, but God insisted on me surviving. "

Chen Mu didn't know what to say and could only listen silently.

"The Black Hibiscus Kashu Group perished like this, and it perished without anyone knowing."

This sentence is filled with too much emotion, sadness, and loneliness.

"Among us, Black King is the most convinced by everyone. The four of us respect him very much, and the team members below also love him very much. He is the most successful leader I have ever seen. Perhaps only Tang Hanpei can compare with him. Speaking of which, It's very interesting. The Black King has a younger brother, but we don't know who it is. Once, he said that he hoped that I could impart tactical knowledge to his younger brother. If it were anyone else, I would definitely not do it. But now that he has spoken, I will I agreed, and he saved my life. Later, I spent a long time compiling a set of notes and gave them to the Black King. It's a pity, I don't know who his brother is, otherwise, I can also look for me This is half a student.”

Seeing Bagnell smiling and immersed in memories, Chen Mu did not interrupt him.

"That guy Wenxiangli is good at eating, sleepy, lustful, and stingy to the point of not getting a dime. Haha, but he is also the funniest among the five of us. He always has weird things in his hands. Every time Celia and I When I get angry, I will go to that guy and get some fun things to coax her. But that guy is a tough guy. If you want to get something from him, don’t even think about it without spending money. No one in the federation can match him in his jungle tracking. Right, we all admire him very much."

"Ba Dao is a firecracker, he can be quick to fire, and he has a very hot temper. However, he is most afraid of Celia. Once Celia gets angry, he becomes honest. He is a madman and goes everywhere to challenge others. In the words of the Black King Said, just go everywhere and cause trouble. We always have to wipe his butt. Do you remember Xiao Liqian’s Hughes Chamber of Commerce? Her uncle Hughes was beaten with a knife before, and we didn’t get to know each other without him. On the contrary, it’s not bad.”

"If we say who has the highest status among the five of us, it's not the Black King, but my wife Celia. Haha, she is our princess. Even the Black King loves her very much. No one in the group dares to offend her. She. If she offended her, she would definitely kill someone without saying anything. Celia..."

Bagnell looked dazed, with tears in his eyes and a choked voice. Suddenly, he looked much older, desolate and sad.

Chen Mu still didn't know how to comfort Bagnell, so he could only stay with him quietly.

The construction of the base is still in full swing. The cold crystal storm Bagnell mentioned caught Chen Mu's attention, and his requirements for the base immediately increased greatly. It was finally decided to build against the cracked cliff. For safety reasons, the base was built as a fully enclosed structure.

Fortunately, the metal mineral deposits here are extremely rich, and all the required materials can be obtained locally. They can even mix some rare materials into the metal to improve the performance of the alloy to a very exaggerated level. If such a base was placed in the Federation, the cost of building it would be beyond Chen Mu's ability to afford. Not even the Sixth Big One could afford to use these high-quality rare materials to build a base so extravagantly.

Chen Mu also quickly became busy, manufacturing jamming equipment, and he needed to be on the front line in person. Of course, he was not as good as Alfonso in terms of metal smelting knowledge, but he was much better than those jamming experts in the Federation. In order to rush for time, he did not craft it carefully, but made some crude smelting jamming equipment. The utilization rate of ore in this jamming machine is not high, but he doesn't care. The most indispensable thing here is ore.

The large cracks are full of ores, and rare ores can be found everywhere.

Poor card repairmen, except for those responsible for exploration and warning tasks, everyone else has turned into a mining card repairman. But no one had any objections. Even those seventh-level card cultivators who were usually aloof were working hard. Everyone knows that as long as they gain a firm foothold in the gray layer, it is equivalent to having one more hen that can lay golden eggs.

The more resources the team has, the greater their future development space will be, and their families will be able to enjoy higher benefits.

These people have either followed Chen Mu for a long time, or were trained by Chen Mu, and are extremely loyal.

The base planned by the construction repairmen accompanying the team is not large, it is just a small safe haven. It can accommodate up to three thousand people, and at the same time, it can also store certain supplies. As for other functions, they have all been abandoned. This base was established, and their task was to wait for support from the Dongwei base here.

When the support arrives, this base will be used as the main body to expand.

Due to its simple function, it only requires thick metal alloy plates to be built and welded together, and with everyone working together, the project progresses very quickly.

Finally, they completed the construction of the base before the second sandstorm came.

It is like a huge steel fortress, most of which is hidden within the cracked cliffs, with only a few entrances exposed. In order to increase its defense capabilities, reinforced support structures are everywhere, which makes the base look a bit messy and ugly. But no one cared. During the second sandstorm, everyone shrank into this ugly steel fort.

Through the surveillance probe, you can clearly see the terrifying scene of flying sand and rocks outside. The base was as warm as spring. Everyone drank various hot drinks leisurely and chatted in small groups. It was in sharp contrast to their bad situation last time.

Everyone's face was very excited, and everyone knew what the completion of this base meant.

The rare mineral deposits that can be seen everywhere here have become the hottest topic among everyone. Even their most experienced Kaxiu has never seen such exaggerated wealth.

No one among the six major players in the federation knew that they had quietly added a base in the gray layer. A young lion is about to enter its rapid growth period. Maybe some of them expected it, but there was nothing they could do.

Everyone's eyes were attracted to one person. Tang Hanpei led Tang Ying, with a tough attitude, gradually approaching Xingyuan.

Among the army, a white and slender hand gently opened the black notebook in front of him.

There is a line of small words written on the title page of the notebook

——To my brother: I hope you can become a hero!
