The base is humankind's outpost amidst the ruins, enveloped by an energy shield.
Surrounding the vast city, numerous bases of varying sizes exist, teeming with millions of Desert Hunters.
These Desert Hunters rely on the ruins for survival.
Bases connect the ruins and the city, offering both communication signals and routes to the city.
Traders buy the monsters killed by the Desert Hunters directly from the base and transport them into the city.
The base also serves a purpose of communal warmth; if one encounters a powerful monster attack, safety is guaranteed if they make it back to the base.
It acts as a transitional role from the city to the ruins.
The base is not small, similar to a small town, devoid of tall buildings.
Upon entering the base, Xu Mo saw vehicles coming and going.
Most were Desert Hunters like Qin Fu.
Some returned laden with spoils, while others bore injuries on their bodies.
There were even those who dragged back corpses.
