Madders Hill Road.

"Boss Marcus, do we really want to set up our base on this mountain? It's so troublesome to go up the mountain on a rainy day..."

Gray held an umbrella and walked on the way up the mountain. He often stepped on the muddy ground and splashed unpleasant water. His face looked very desperate.

I helped him from behind and watched him continue to go up the mountain: "It's not because you stay at home every day. Young people should be energetic and go to this mountain often! Moreover, you don't want to be seduced by Sebala.

Caught and beaten?"

"Oh, that's true. I didn't hear grandpa knocking on the door this morning. If he found out, he would definitely beat me up. But boss, why do you have to come to Marcus Mountain?"

This is a good question.

Our previous topic was about choosing to build a "Batcave" as a secret base for hero activities.

...No matter how old you are, this kind of superhero-playing game has a magical charm that attracts men to participate enthusiastically. Is this because of the hunting desire written in the genes of male humans?

I won't admit that even I'm a little bit ready to move.

In fact, on the one hand, I want to take Gray out for a walk and relax. He devotes himself to designing equipment every day and night, and even sleep is not guaranteed. If he continues to lack outdoor exercise, he may really get sick.

On the other hand, I do need such a place to store some things that are not convenient to put on the ranch, such as the war equipment I plan to build next. If I put it directly on the ranch, I am afraid it will be misunderstood by the residents. After all, I am defending.

It's those imaginary enemies.

At this time, Gray happened to have successfully created part of the First Dimension equipment. Like me, we needed a secret base, which led to our sudden impulse.

"Boss Marcus, I can understand if you don't choose the location in the town, why would you place it in the ranch?"

Humph, that's so naive. What's the difference between these two choices and direct exposure?

"There are so many people in this town that even Sebala's workshop can't accommodate it, let alone a secret base. There is an open space next to your forging house. It would be best if it could be opened openly and openly."

"That vacant land? It seems to have been the land of a resident a long time ago, but no house was built on it, so it has been vacant."

"The ranch is even worse. If you go to the ranch every day, then everyone will definitely know that we are engaged in secret activities. Moreover, although the ranch is large, the available buildings are too small, and a temporary house is too conspicuous... We always

Can’t you dig a hole in the ground?”

Gray thought about it and realized that digging a cellar in the pasture was really not a good choice. It was hot in the summer and cold in the winter. There was no sunlight all year round, and water would come in when it rained. What’s even more frightening is that even if you light a stove, you can’t even exhaust the smoke!

"Then what place is better in Maders Mountain?" Gray decided to ask clearly and save himself from wandering aimlessly on the mountain on a rainy day.

I pointed to a place in the distance and said to him: "Of course I have considered this. First of all, it must be inaccessible, so that people cannot come and go often. Secondly, it must not be too remote. If there is no road,

, the path we tread is like a directional sign. Finally, we need to have concealment to be able to hide both the traces of our activities and the traces of forging."

After saying that, I asked him quietly: "How is it? Do you guess where it is?"

Gray frowned grimly: "This mountain is very hidden if you want to hide it. But it is too difficult to avoid being discovered while ensuring that there are human traces as a cover."

I looked at him seriously: "If you think about it carefully, is there really no such place?"

Gray was stunned by what I said. He wondered why I looked like there was only one answer. He frowned and continued his analysis: "Well, if you consider the conditions for walking on human trails, the entire mountain's hiking trails are considered qualified. Gotz

and residents will pass by on this road. But how could a fire on the mountain go undetected?"

"That's the point." I looked at him confidently, "There happens to be such a place on this mountain. Even if you light a fire every day, you won't be discovered, because it is filled with smoke every day..."

While we were talking, we turned around the corner of the mountain in front and came to the foot of a flat rock. There was a high cliff standing there, very steep in shape, like a knife and an ax chopping, demonstrating the power of nature. But under the rock,

There is a small house sitting quietly, and a pool of water steaming slowly.

Gray looked at me in shock and said, "Is this... is this also part of your calculation? Boss!"

Of course, I had already considered this address. What place is more suitable than the col where this hot spring house is located?

There are well-maintained roads to climb here, and nearby mines provide raw materials. What’s even more clever is that the water mist that evaporates here all year round can cleverly cover up the smoke of the forging furnace, and it also makes it easier to obtain water!

Is there a better place in town than here?!

"Gray, let's start looking for a place and save your shocked expression for later." I summoned Gray to work without politeness.

Gray quickly returned to normal and looked for a suitable address. Although the area was not small, most of it was occupied by hot springs. There was only a lonely mine left, and it was impossible to choose a location for the base.

If you choose a base in a mine, you will not only have to deal with Sebaka who may come to mine, but you may also encounter ranch visitors who suddenly come. The colonist system sets the location where the visitors will arrive.

Also, the legend of the haunted mine that changes direction at any time also makes me resist this place.

Gray searched around the hot springs and mines, but found no suitable place for a facility base. He even looked at the depressions in the rocks, and excitedly thought they were caves, only to find that they were just shallow depressions.

.

I was responsible for looking for the side close to the cliff, and I searched there in many ways. The cliff seemed a bit too sharp on the undulating and gentle Madas Mountain, like an untimely spectator.

On the TV screen, the entire cliff was covered with plants, and many vines wrapped around the cliff, forming a green curtain.

I looked at the integrated mountain vegetation, and suddenly I was curious about what the cliff behind it looked like, so I got close to the mountain, put my hand into the vegetation, grabbed a handful of gravel, and observed it carefully.

The strange thing is that these gravels are too barren, with no trace of the smoothness of soil. They are all made of flaked shale and sandstone. It seems that they have experienced long-term erosion, and only the underlying limestone is still standing.

Moreover, judging from the vegetation on this cliff face, it is far different from the lush vegetation around the col. There is an obvious discontinuity in the comparison, which makes me doubt the original appearance.

I touched the flat surface of the cliff, and suddenly a bold idea came to me.
