Chapter 259 Clearing the Danger

A few minutes later, Niu Lai came over with Ma Xixi and Ding Xiahe. Lele's dad's big dog followed behind, staring at the ten people opposite vigilantly.

"Hello, I'm the leader of this team, Niu Lai." Niu Lai walked forward with a calm tone and a hint of scrutiny in his eyes, but still maintaining a polite attitude.

"Hello, we are here to deliver materials. I am the captain, Lu Renjia." The captain replied, with a hint of fatigue in his voice, but more of relief. His face was covered with sand and dust, and there were a few cracks on the cuffs of his clothes, obviously he had gone through a lot of twists and turns.

Niu Lai nodded, "Captain Lu, we need to check the mission number and material list, please cooperate."

Without hesitation, Lu Renjia took out an electronic card from the space equipment and handed it to Niu Lai. Niu Lai took the card, scanned it with his light brain, and quickly checked the information. After a moment, he raised his head and said to Lan Ximeng and Li Fan: "No problem, it's them."

Lan Ximeng and Li Fan looked at each other, and their tense nerves relaxed a little. The mission can finally move forward.

"Welcome to the safe zone." Niu Lai said to Lu Renjia, "You have worked hard."

Lu Renjia smiled bitterly, "It was indeed hard. I was almost eaten by a mutant crocodile on the way." There was a hint of helplessness in his tone, but he forced a smile at the corners of his mouth, trying to lighten the atmosphere with humor.

Niu Lai raised his eyebrows, "Mutated crocodile?" There was a hint of surprise in his voice and some curiosity in his eyes.

Lu Renjia sighed, "Don't mention it. We bought two crocodiles to help us get on the road, but they almost killed us. Those things are not meant to be ridden. They are just mobile meat grinders."

Niu Lai nodded without asking any more questions, "Take a rest first, we will hand over the supplies later."

Lu Renjia nodded and led the team into the safe zone. His teammates all looked miserable, but everyone had a smile on their face as if they had survived a disaster. Arriving at the destination finally relaxed their tense nerves.

Li Fan looked at their backs and whispered to Niu Lai, "They look quite embarrassed."

Niu Lai smiled and said, "It's good enough that we can arrive safely."

Ding Xiahe came over and patted Lan Ximeng on the shoulder. "You guys go and have a rest, leave the rest to us."

Lan Ximeng nodded and returned to the room with Li Fan.

Tianquan Star at 8 am.

After a good rest, Lan Ximeng walked out of the house. The morning sunlight shone through the sand and dust onto the ground, casting a hazy golden color.

She looked up and saw construction materials and various safety equipment neatly stacked on the ground. On the other side, Lu Renjia's team was busy building houses.

"It's quite efficient." Lan Ximeng whispered to herself. She noticed that although the structures of these houses were simple, their designs were very functional and clearly the result of careful planning.

On the other side of the house, Niu Lai was squatting on the ground, carefully counting the quantity of materials. His eyes were focused, and the light computer in his hand kept flashing data. Lan Ximeng walked up to him and asked softly, "You didn't get any rest all night, did you?"

Niu Lai nodded, his voice not tired at all, and he was obviously in good spirits. "I'm fine. I have counted all the materials, and the amount is fine."

In the hut.

"Let's arrange the tasks first." Niu Lai quickly gathered all the team members at the dinner table, unfolded the holographic map, and began to arrange the tasks.

"I have just confirmed their mission content with Lu Renjia. Their main task is to build shelters, just like us. However, they are not responsible for eliminating surrounding threats." Niu Lai's voice was steady and powerful, and his eyes swept over everyone.

"Our mission is to build at least ten simple houses. I calculated that if the five of us work together, we can complete it within three days. If Ding Xiahe's mecha is included, the speed will be even faster." He paused and continued, "We have almost cleared the dangers within one kilometer around the safe zone. What remains is the three-kilometer area outside the safe zone."

"Let's get rid of the threats outside first, then we can focus on building the house."

Others had no objection. It seemed that the most important thing at the moment was to ensure the safety of the surrounding area.

"What happened yesterday was sudden, but it also gave me a warning." Niu Lai glanced at Ma Xixi and saw that she was lowering her head, so he turned around and continued, "Our team is small in number, and it would be disadvantageous for us to act separately."

"We'll act together later, and take Coco and a few others with us." If there is any problem, we can run faster.

"OK."

Soon, six people rode the big dog out of the safe zone.

The safety of the safe zone is left to Lu Renjia and a few others.

This time they were not surrounded by a tent, but were carried by the big dog in the strong wind.

"Let's go to the direction where the ice snake came from first. There are such powerful mutant animals there, there shouldn't be other powerful creatures." Niu Lai closed the holographic map and led a few people to bypass the direction where the ice snake was killed yesterday and went straight to the destination.

Lan Ximeng, Li Fan, Ma Qianqian and Ding Xiahe protected Niu Lai and Chu Dongyi in the middle.

Lan Ximeng's mental power has been observing the surroundings.

Her mental power has already explored the environment within a thousand meters, and all she found were ordinary mutant animals.

What happened yesterday was due to her carelessness, and she doesn't want such a problem to happen again this time.

"There is a cave ahead, it should be the ice snake's." Lan Ximeng explored a huge cave on the ground and smelled a faint energy breath from it. "There may be good things in it."

The six people got off the big dog's back and walked carefully to the entrance of the cave.

Niu Lai: "Lan Ximeng and Li Fan go in and take a look." He also asked Ma Qianqian to pay attention to the surroundings to make sure there was no other danger.

Lan Ximeng and Li Fan nodded, quickly picked up their weapons, and walked into the cave slowly and cautiously. Although both of them's mental powers told them that there was no danger in the cave, they still remained highly vigilant and took every step with extreme caution.

The air in the cave was damp and cold, with a pungent fishy smell that made people shudder. Soon, the two arrived at the depths of the cave. A large grass-mat snake nest appeared before my eyes, and one side of the nest was filled with large and small white bones. These bones looked particularly terrifying under the dim light inside the cave.

The sharp-eyed Lan Ximeng found several human skulls among the skeletons. These skulls were obviously the remains of pirates who had lived here before.

"Lan Ximeng, look." After confirming that there was no danger, Li Fan walked into the snake's nest and found a long snake skin inside. He picked up the snake skin, examined it carefully, and said, "This is a good thing, keep it."

Lan Ximeng nodded and quickly put the snake skin into the space.

As the snake skin disappeared, the obscured object appeared in front of the two people. Lan Ximeng and Li Fan's attention were instantly drawn over, and they saw a shocking scene - a dozen ice-blue snake eggs lying quietly in the corner of the snake's nest.

These snake eggs exude a faint chill and are covered with a thin layer of ice, making them look particularly mysterious.

"hiss!"

Lan Ximeng and Li Fan were startled and took a few steps back at the same time, gasping for air. Their hearts beat faster and there was a hint of fear in their eyes.

Lan Ximeng whispered, "It seems that the one we met yesterday was a male!"
