"Drive almost five kilometers south. There is a rift valley there. You can leave two people to try to find water sources in the low-lying areas. After all, we used the mechanism to collect some water last night."

"Then when you get to the Rift Valley, go west and you'll reach the place I mentioned in three kilometers."

The driver immediately stepped on the accelerator and drove quickly in that direction.

Maher suddenly asked:

"Hey, Vasily, what's the best news you heard today?"

Vasily said:

"Of course it's time for the boss to wake me up in the morning. Hey, Vasily, you bastard, get up quickly. We still have things to do. Don't you feel lucky to be woken up in this damn place?

? Because at least it means you are still alive."

***

Twenty minutes later, a group of people arrived at the rift valley that Maher mentioned. Unfortunately, this rift valley was not deep, and the deepest part was only five or six meters. In this case, the probability of water sources would be reduced.

Two veterans volunteered to jump out of the car and went to search for water.

Next, the all-terrain vehicle continued to move forward in the desert with difficulty, leaving two rows of deep tire marks behind the vehicle. There was vast yellow sand everywhere, and the sky turned gloomy and gray at some point.

one slice.

Soon, we arrived at the location that Maher mentioned, and there was indeed a wreckage of a spacecraft in the yellow sand.

After some inspection, it can be seen that the crashed spacecraft was a small spacecraft. The pilot died on the spot when it landed. Fang Linyan and the others did not find anything on the pilot's body that could prove his identity.

It can be seen from the timer on the small spacecraft that this spacecraft also crashed in that terrifying sandstorm.

Not only that, the other party's rescue came very quickly. Most of the useful things in the spacecraft were removed, and even half of the broken engine was dismantled. However, what remained was a box of compressed biscuits with a very bad taste.

This can only explain two very serious problems:

First, these guys have no shortage of food.

Second, they are not local aborigines, but also foreign technological humans. Otherwise, they would not need to destroy the complete parts of the engine.

After discovering this incident, everyone was whispering. Another force suddenly appeared on this strange and mysterious planet. It was not good news anyway, even if the other party was not here to save people.

Just like a merchant ship in the Age of Discovery when encountering a stranger at sea, as long as it feels that the other party is weak, it will transform into a brutal pirate.

At this time, in the era of cosmic colonization, adventurers meet on strange alien planets, and fighting often only requires a look...

Of course, only Fang Linyan and the other three accepted this matter calmly. After all, this was an SS difficulty mission! It would not be unusual for more accidents to occur.

After taking the box of compressed biscuits, Fang Linyan and the others returned. When passing through the rift valley, they also took the two people looking for water with them. From their depressed expressions, it could be seen that it was a futile task.

.

After returning to the camp, Maher of course went to report to Dekoya:

"Hey, SIR, the communicator has been successfully installed and has been functioning normally for five hours so far."

After hearing the news, Dekoya was of course very happy, but Maher's next words made him frown:

"However, we found the wreckage of a small spacecraft and found some things inside..."

Listening to Maher's words, Dekoya's expression quickly turned solemn. It was obvious that the news shocked him.

After the report, another expedition team that went out also brought back good news. They found a place that was likely to have a water source, and the terrain there was much more dangerous, making it more suitable to move the camp there.

This news immediately surprised everyone, and the day was quite tiring. After Fang Linyan ate some barbecue, he got into his sleeping bag and fell asleep with half-closed eyes. The night was still very cold, but it was calm and there were no predators.

Come to cause trouble.

After dawn the next day, a sandstorm blew up around the camp again. The flying dust in the atmosphere made it difficult to see the place ten meters ahead, and it was impossible to open your eyes. The storm lasted for a whole morning, and Fang Linyan and others could only

Stay in the camp and continue waiting.

At noon, the sandstorm gradually subsided. Dejaco was very worried about whether the communicator would be damaged in the sandstorm, so he asked someone to drive an all-terrain vehicle to take him to check it in person.

Maher took his people out to secure the water source. Probably because they got along quite harmoniously, Maher directly called Fang Linyan and the three of them to go together.

They spent three hours exploring the area where there might be water, but unfortunately they didn't find much.

The exploration team could only walk back dejectedly. However, when they came to a ravine two kilometers outside the camp, Maher quickly walked up and looked at the deep ravine.

Seen up close, this deep ravine looks like a tragic scar on the vast yellow land, it is very spectacular.

Maher pondered for a while and then said:

"I think there might be water down here."

Tucker, who followed, was also a little tired at this time, and he couldn't help but frown and said:

"Hey, brother, I came to inspect this place yesterday. There is nothing but dust down there. Of course, there are also those damn weathered rocks. Their only use is to make you break your legs or neck when you come down or go up."

Maher turned around and glanced at the thick-lipped black man Tucker, shrugged and said:

"Hey, I'm not saying you're being lazy, but I have a gut feeling that there's water down there."

Tucker was also stubborn and said very directly:

"But I don't believe you. I won't take the risk of breaking my leg again, absolutely not! Because being injured in this damn place may very well mean death."

Maher didn’t want to argue with anyone, so he shrugged and said:

"Whatever you want, but I will tell Dejaco about it when I get back."

Tucker was immediately frightened. Dejaco was not an easy person to talk to, and he also had a high prestige. If he was sued, Tucker would not get any good results. He would have to suffer a gun butt and have his money deducted.

Fortunately, Tucker's skin was dark enough and the change in his face could not be seen, but although he did not dare to resist directly, he could still do it by squatting aside and saying nothing. Obviously, he found that hard resistance was not enough, so he just rubbed it softly.

At this time, Maher glanced at Fang Linyan, obviously seeking support.

Fang Linyan felt that Maher was quite a good person, so he said:
Chapter completed!
