Chapter 350: Chapter 348: The Third Base: Musen Base Chapter 350: Chapter 348: The Third Base: Musen Base “Jiang Yan, I also want to talk to you alone,” said Jiang Ye, his beard scruffy, as he grabbed his messy curly hair and suddenly stood up.

Ye Qing, standing at the door, turned around upon hearing this and stared at his face for a few seconds.

Jiang Ye’s face was quite distinctive, easily noticeable even in a crowd during the apocalypse.

With a high nose bridge, sunken eye sockets, and thick, long eyelashes, his appearance seemed exotic no matter how one looked at it.

Jiang Yan gave him a glance and nodded calmly, “I will talk to Dr. Song first.”

“Okay, I’ll wait for you,” Jiang Ye finished speaking, sighed, and sat back down.

“Dr. Song, it’s still–” Jiang Yan looked at Song Haitao, her eyes fixing on his feet.

Song Haitao instantly understood, enduring the discomfort and shook his leg, “Don’t worry, I can walk; let’s go somewhere relatively quiet.”

“Okay.” Jiang Yan recalled the room she had entered into Space before.

Sun Jingtao approached, “Do you need me to escort you there?”

“No need.” After Jiang Yan replied, she took out two flashlights from her backpack and handed one to Song Haitao, “Dr. Song, please follow.”

“Alright. Xiao Jiang, lead the way.”

The two entered the small house one after another, Jiang Yan closed the door as usual, and then let Hua Bao out to keep watch at the door.

“Dr. Song, please have a seat,” Jiang Yan said as she fished out a folding stool from her backpack and set it up on the ground.

Lin Xiaohui had mentioned before that Song Haitao and the others were currently in a state of muscle weakness, and it was advisable to minimize standing times.

Jiang Yan also did not want this elderly man, who had once made significant contributions to the nation, to sit on the cold ground.

Although Song Haitao was surprised as to why she would pull out such a non-combat material stool from her backpack, he sat down nonetheless, “Thank you.”

“Jiang Yan, when the AS section was descending, did it receive external assistance?” he asked directly.

Jiang Yan didn’t hide it, “Yes.”

“Then do you remember approximately how long it took from the ejection from the base till landing? It doesn’t have to be very precise, just a general range.”

“Also, was there any significant lateral wind resistance?”

Jiang Yan frowned in thought, “Sorry, Dr. Song, I can’t remember clearly.”

“As for the side wind, there shouldn’t have been any,” she recalled the scene when Hua Bao opened the parachute.

Moreover, there was a big wind, as the blizzard never stopped.

But compared to this giant, heavy metal house, such resistance was negligible.

Song Haitao looked into the void, his brow slightly furrowed, his fingers occasionally gesturing in the air as if calculating something in his mind.

After a while, Jiang Yan asked, “Dr. Song, are you considering the issue of our landing site?”

“Yes.” Song Haitao collected his thoughts, “Actually, the AS section of Yaoben Base was also part of the entire secret space project, only that the destination for the SSS section’s ejection was Mars, whereas the AS section was merely meant for near-earth escape.”

If the ejection process of the AS section was not hindered, the final destination of the AS section would have been Phoenix Mountain, where the Dongshan Observatory is located. There would be specialized receiving towers, and the terrain is high.”

Jiang Yan frowned, “Dr. Song, what’s the point of going there?”

If we speak of observatories, there is one near Yaoben Base, which is also situated on high terrain.

“To send a distress signal to the nearest survivor base,” Song Haitao muttered a second, then slowly spoke.

“The nearest survivor base?” Jiang Yan was taken aback.

Song Haitao glanced at the door, lowering his voice a few notches, “The base, called Musen Base.”

Jiang Yan was astonished, “Musen?”

If she remembered correctly, the first bases established after the apocalypse symbolized the elements “metal, wood, water, fire, earth” in the five major bases.

Among them, Flame Base represented “fire,” Yaoben Base represented “earth,” and this Musen Base, evidently, represented “wood”…
