Chapter 259 Prey
The mountains to the north surround the basin of the Glowing Sea, which poses a problem for tanks.
Fu Qinghai did not intend to look for those narrow cracks, nor did he intend to go around the winding mountain roads. He adopted a more opportunistic method - he would fly over the mountains first, and then let Chen Xinlu open the dimensional gate, and the tank would pass through the dimensional gate.
This method can save a lot of fuel, but is limited by Chen Xinlu's energy and the suppression of her worldview - she can only use the dimensional gate a limited number of times a day.
The flying backpack activated the cruise mode, emitting the roar of a jet fighter. Fu Qinghai flew across the lead-gray sky, overlooking the gray earth below.
At some point, snowflakes started falling from the sky.
Fu Qinghai slowly slowed down, hovered in the air, reached out to take a piece of crystal clear ice flower, and watched the white snowflakes slowly melt on the black nail.
We have arrived at high latitudes.
According to the information, this is a secret base of the highest latitude of perfect humans, but it is not known whether it is still operating normally. The news that Fu Qinghai killed Moira Robinson and Kathy Wheeler may have spread among perfect humans.
"boom--"
The plasma nozzle shot out a fiery stream, and the cruise mode switched to afterburner mode. Fu Qinghai was going to speed up.
He didn't know how long the snow would last. Now Fu Qinghai mainly relied on the map obtained from the perfect human to compare it with the terrain from above to determine his goal and direction. If the snow completely covered the earth, all the terrain and landforms would be hidden in the thick snow. At that time, it would be a pipe dream to want to find a secret base in the vast ice and snow.
The snow kept falling, getting heavier and heavier.
The gray ground was gradually covered with a light layer of mottled snow.
…
"Master, after comparison, the terrain here is 87.45% similar to the map. It can be identified as the target location."
Qing Ming reminded him in his ear, and at the same time projected the grid contour lines and identification markers in the map onto Fu Qinghai's retina in the form of AR projection, overlapping with the real terrain in the bird's-eye view.
"OK."
Looking at the snow-capped undulating mountains below and the remaining man-made structures on the surface, Fu Qinghai swooped down.
…
Fu Qinghai stood in the middle of a messy and dilapidated facility.
This place... seems to have been a launch site?
Heavy snow fell slowly beside Fu Qinghai. He looked around and did not rush to call Chen Xinlu to open the dimensional door. Instead, he carefully checked the situation at the scene.
On the simply leveled and hardened land, there were obvious traces of blackening caused by high-temperature jets, collapsed launch pads and twisted landing gear entangled together, and a row of tall empty storage tanks, which were empty after the X-ray machine was turned on.
Yes, this is a simple launch site.
And it is an abandoned launch site.
The facilities have been destroyed, the supplies have been moved, and all traces have been covered up.
Fu Qinghai thought of the satellite in the sky.
They are perfect humans. They knew I was coming, so they abandoned this secret base in advance... Fu Qinghai understood.
Fu Qinghai strolled among them, his eyes scanning the charred tents and piles of garbage one by one. The natural hunting instinct of a White Scar warrior was searching for any clues that might have been missed.
Sure enough, Fu Qinghai found a series of inconspicuous footprints covered by shallow snow. Fu Qinghai squatted down, gently brushed away the snow, and determined the direction of the footprints - leading to somewhere outside the launch site.
"whispering sound."
Fu Qinghai raised the corners of his mouth.
Do you think this can escape the eyes of the future hunting master?
There were only footprints on the ground, no bloodstains. Even if there were bloodstains, Fu Qinghai had no intention of putting it in his mouth to taste.
Because this is a reincarnation world filled with all kinds of unknown mutant viruses, Fu Qinghai will not activate the special ability of "Soul Drinker" after genetic detection of neural mutations.
But to track the traces of these careless people, careful observation and hunting instinct are enough.
Qingming automatically marked the footprints in red in the field of vision. Fu Qinghai followed these shallow footprints that were indistinguishable to mortals and walked towards the northwest of the launch site.
The north wind was howling and the snow was falling heavily.
The snow soon piled up on Fu Qinghai's shoulders.
…
Fu Qinghai trudged along the hillside. The snow here was getting deeper and the rocks were rugged. Fu Qinghai was like a patient and experienced hunter. He braved the wind and snow, neither hurried nor slow, tracking and identifying the subtle traces left by his prey.
He could sense that his "prey" was beginning to show its true colors.
It seemed that as he was getting closer to his destination, he thought he was safe. He began to become more and more anxious, more and more reckless, and less and less careful to cover his whereabouts.
"Hehe."
Fu Qinghai sneered.
The Space Marine, fully armed, climbed over the last boulder, half of his body stuck out from behind the ridge, and looked at the scene below the hillside.
Fu Qinghai's eyes widened instantly:
"Oh my god..."
