Having fully recharged the Brave and hidden the transport vehicle, Ji Xinghe stood on the alien planet with his rifle in hand, looking up at the sky.
There was still the sky-obliterating dust storm.
However, compared to before, the effect of the dust storm had lessened, with the most obvious change being improved visibility – from one hundred meters to around one hundred and fifty meters.
This wasn't good news for Ji Xinghe, since his charge would now be discovered at a distance of one hundred and fifty meters, giving the imperial mechs an extra fifty meters and more time to respond.
There were other negative impacts. For example, his footprints and the wheel tracks of the transport vehicle would now take longer to be buried as the dust density in the storm had decreased, making the Empire Mech Corps' tracking of him more effective.
Rationally, now was the best time to leave.
