The sky gradually brightened, and the wind became much gentler. Some red sand still danced through the air, but compared to the previous sky-darkening storm, things were already much better.
"Wind speed at 2 meters above ground: approximately 4 m/s. The global sandstorm has ended."
"Fourteen wind turbine units in total. Four are operating normally, seven are malfunctioning, and three are severely damaged. Ten units require maintenance assessment."
Because Mars's gravity was far lower than Earth's, the wind turbines were astonishingly tall. Their actual size was also enormous, but their height made them appear somewhat smaller.
Engineering robots climbed the ladders inside the wind turbines to the top and began repair work, while drones provided assistance nearby. Hydraulic oil leaked along the blades, staining half of them deep red and making them look as though they had rusted.
However, aside from the turbines exposed to the sandstorm and some electrical wires, there was basically no damage. The Honkai Beasts also seemed to fear the force of the sandstorm. During that time, none of the cameras placed around the area captured any trace of them.
"If the logical deduction is correct, they may be hiding in some kind of nest."
This meant that Assault-type Honkai Beasts, at the very bottom of the Honkai Beast hierarchy, possessed the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm—an instinct only living creatures possessed. Because evolved Assault-type Honkai Beasts had larger bodies and lighter weight, without that instinct, they would soon be swept into the sky by the sandstorm's powerful winds and fall who knew where.
Even if they did not die from the fall, they would starve to death. On present-day Mars, only the area where Qin Su was located generated Honkai energy. Everywhere else was as clean as clear water. Honkai Beasts swept away
