General Leitner leaned out of the armored vehicle and looked to the left and right. The convoy consisted of dozens of main battle vehicles, several heavy-duty mechas, and dozens of various load-carrying armored vehicles.

There are about a thousand people in this army. Compared with the more than 6,000 people when we set off, the force at this moment seems extremely thin.

The old general couldn't help but think of the abandoned soldiers again, and sighed secretly. He was not the one who gave the last order at that time, and the overwhelming tide of beasts really shocked him, and he had to give up in the end.

The decision of the person who doesn't come up.

Leitner sighed again, calculated the troops on hand, and felt deeply inadequate. The first thing he decided to do after returning to the base was to ask for more reinforcements and equipment. He fought against this with the Lancers in the Doomsday Shadow Fortress.

After the second beast wave, Leitner knew very well that with the few people he had and being scattered between two bases, he could not stop the beast wave of this magnitude no matter what.

He has no complaints about Looney and Hathaway leaving, knowing that this is the norm. Looney and Hathaway can't really stay in this damn place for several years. They have to do the hard work of persistence and development.

.

Just as he was thinking about it, the outline of the forward base was faintly seen in the distance. Leitner frowned and said to the team members in the car: "We have seen the base, why didn't we receive a reply message from them? All the sentries were asleep today.

Yet?"

"I have sent confirmation messages several times, starting from ten kilometers away, but there has been no response."

The old general's eyebrows were already locked together and he ordered: "Everyone is on first-level alert, get into battle formation, slow down, release the mecha, and approach slowly."

The armored convoy immediately slowed down and spread out in all directions. Several heavy-duty mechas also got off the transport vehicles and approached the forward base surrounded by tank troops.

The base was quiet, there was no one around, not even a light could be seen.

The leading tank has already approached several hundred meters away, but there is still no movement in the base.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly exclaimed: "Tide of beasts!!"

In an instant, the troops exploded. They were really frightened by the overwhelming sea of ​​beasts. For a moment, the tank's gun barrel was pointing in all directions, and the mecha was spinning in circles, looking for traces of the enemy.

But there was silence all around.

Finally, a strange beast appeared on the fortress wall. When it saw the armored troops outside, it was startled, turned around, jumped off the wall, and ran away. Several cannons were aimed at it, and they watched it go away, but

No one fired.

A moment later, a timid voice sounded on the channel: "The response signal of the war beast... that one has disappeared."

Leitner was so angry that he didn't have the strength to curse, and ordered: "The first team went into the base to see what was going on, and the second team responded."

More than a dozen tanks started, opened the ajar base gate, and drove into the base. Suddenly, an exclamation sounded in the communication channel: "Everyone is gone! Things are gone too!"

A moment later, Leitner stood in the center of the base, his face ashen.

The staff officer next to him was puzzled, "Did these guys defect? ​​Where could they escape? And why would they escape?"

What is really difficult to understand is the last question.

At this time, the communication vehicle brought back news from another base. Just like here, all the people were gone, and all the equipment was gone, leaving only the empty building shell.

Leitner looked at the damaged walls and turrets, and said: "Within half a day, collect all the clues separately. Then see if there is anything else that can be used, and take everything with you. Let's... go back to the Shadow of Doom."

This is a last resort decision. There is no energy and food here, and the more than a thousand of them cannot survive for long. And only the Doomsday Shadow Fortress has the equipment to communicate with the orbit.

One day later, William looked at the armored convoy outside the fortress in shock. He couldn't react for a while. Why were they back again?

Base No. 2 is busy at the moment. There are more than ten small buildings of two or three stories high around the main base, all of which are made up of residential modules. Viewed from the sky, they look like blooming daisies.

.

These are temporary residential areas, half buried underground to ensure the shooting perspective of the main base. Signal transmission and communication are still difficult problems. The distance between the weapon stations that Chu Jungui can accurately control cannot exceed 100 meters.

In this attack, they not only obtained the Jolly Roger's supplies, but also a lot of technology. However, after thinking about it, Chu Jungui and Lin Xi decided to focus on the agent's technology. The Jolly Roger's technology was not complete and was not suitable for 4

Planet No. 2. It will be impossible for the two small agents to continuously obtain corresponding equipment and raw materials from the Federation in the future.

Two special transport ships are currently the focus of Chu Jungui's research. They are able to repeatedly pass through storm clouds, relying on the new ion protective armor attached to the hull. This armor will continuously eject small fragments, release powerful currents, and

An ion protective layer is formed around the spacecraft to repel the ion storm within the storm clouds.

Needless to say, this layer of armor is extremely expensive at first glance. The more resistant the material is to extreme environments, the price will rise exponentially. For example, the price difference between materials that can withstand 5,000 degrees and 50,000 degrees is more than ten times.

Moreover, this layer of armor is still semi-consumable, and the cost is even higher.

Calculating the degree of loss during descent, these two transport ships can safely pass through storm clouds about three times. This is an amazing achievement, and at least it gives hope to the people who landed on Planet 4. But Chu Jungui will not use them now.

Escape from Planet 4.

In the outer space of the planet, the Jolly Roger and Lancers monitor all airspace. The slow transport ship cannot outrun the battleship, so leaving Planet 4 will lead to death.

Chu Jungui got a lot of information from the Jolly Roger base, including the locations of the orbital bases of the two legions and the troops deployed in the galaxy. Lin Xi was also shocked when he saw the number of troops, because the Federation had almost an entire legion.

Put it here, its strength is comparable to the Ninth Fleet of the Tang Dynasty.

This kind of strength is enough to suppress several star fields. How come they are all piled up in such a small galaxy, just waiting to open up the planet's surface?

It doesn't take much IQ to smell the unusual smell inside. No matter what the federation wants to do, it is not something that two small agents can interfere with at this moment.

After learning the true military deployment of the Federation, the test subjects decided not to leave Planet 4 for the time being. The storm clouds actually became their natural protective umbrella.

There are still many things that can be done on Planet 4, such as unplugging the Doomsday Shadow Fortress?

The two bases of the Jolly Roger have given the test subject a taste of the benefits, and he is now curious about what is in the Lancer's fortress.

In the distant valley, in the new beast's nest, four groups of black shadows are surrounded together, and there are several smaller groups of black shadows on the periphery.

The largest black shadow in the center is teaching other black shadows, "You must feed the bandits to make yourself fat!"

A small black figure in the outermost circle was fiddling with a virtual scale, but no matter how it put weights on one end of the war beast, several groups of giant rhinos were placed on the clouds, but they could never weigh down the scale.
