Chapter 331 The Walking Dead
Seeing the fortress from a distance, Chu Jungui slowed down and tried to contact the base. The original defense of the fortress was quite fierce. If he approached rashly, he would be likely to be beaten down as an enemy.
The contact went very smoothly. When Chu Jungui revealed his identity, there was an exclamation in the communication channel. Hearing this noisy voice, Chu Jungui felt relieved, at least it meant that the base was still in his own hands.
The landing craft flew over the base and slowly landed in an open space. Chu Jungui walked out of the landing craft, looked around, and his heart sank.
The original Doomsday Shadow Fortress has become dilapidated, and its modern design exterior is riddled with holes. Some buildings have become ruins, and large sections of the fortress walls have collapsed. Some of the gaps have been hastily filled, while others have simply been repaired.
Ignoring it, a new low wall was built inside, which greatly reduced the actual control area of the base and shortened the defense line accordingly.
The only additions are the three towering sentry towers, which house weapons stations and serve both defense and warning functions. Apart from the three sentry towers, looking around, everything is messy and dilapidated. They appear around the landing craft.
Most of the soldiers' armors were in tatters and they were listless.
Chu Jungui looked around and saw familiar faces, but none of them looked familiar. He still remembered that the base was prosperous when he left, but why is it so dilapidated now? It didn't take long!
A man came in a hurry. It wasn't until he stood in front of him that Chu Jungui asked tentatively: "Le Mans?"
The man smiled bitterly, "It's me. Boss, why are you back again?"
"You are really Le Mans!" The test subject scanned the opponent's bone shape, and then he was sure.
Compared with before, Le Mans has lost dozens of kilograms now. His eyes are sunken and there are two big bags under his eyes with black circles. He looks like he is more than ten years older. The only thing that remains unchanged is that
His bald head is still shiny.
At this time, people appeared one after another and came to the square. Most of these people moved slowly and had lifeless eyes. It was not until they saw Chu Jun returning that some of them had surprises in their eyes.
Chu Jungui looked over one by one, "Roland, Duke, Croma, Terry... where is Wilson?"
Roland's hair even turned gray, and he said: "The general is ill and has not recovered. You came back at the right time, and you can see him again."
"Sick?" Chu Jungui was very surprised.
"Yes, it's a very strange disease. None of our current medicines are effective."
"Take me to take a look. Also, send someone to move all the supplies from the spaceship."
After a while, Chu Jungui came to Wilson's ward.
The ward was extremely dark and not airtight. Wilson and several other patients were lying on the bed wearing breathing masks, motionless, looking like corpses.
Chu Jungui looked up at the dim light above his head, then came to Wilson's side and used his personal terminal to conduct a comprehensive scan.
Le Mans followed beside him and whispered: "The general was bitten by a strange animal and never recovered. Later, he developed multiple infections. We don't have enough specific drugs, so the situation is getting worse and worse."
Chu Jungui looked at the scan results, frowned and said, "It's a bacterial infection, where's the medicine?"
Le Mans showed bitterness, "In the second week after you left, our medicine reserves were exhausted. Now we rely on some primary medicines that we can produce ourselves. If these medicines are ineffective, we will have to wait to die."
Chu Jungui immediately said: "There are two medical cabins and some medicines on my spaceship. They have been moved here and treatment will be carried out immediately. In addition, all senior officers will be summoned for a meeting in 15 minutes. Before the meeting, I will collect all major events during this period.
Report."
Roland gave a military salute and said: "Yes, General!"
Chu Jungui glanced at him and said, "I have a new military rank now. From now on, I will be called by my military rank. Don't call me general anymore."
"Okay, what's your new rank? Colonel?"
"No, Lieutenant."
After a while, more than a dozen officers came to the conference room. They looked at Chu Jungui at the end of the conference table. Some were excited, while others were doubtful and confused.
Chu Jungui was reading the report that had just been sent, his face looking very ugly.
Since they left, the base has experienced multiple rounds of attacks by beast tides, including one attack by federal forces. The base suffered heavy losses under repeated attacks. If Kaitian hadn't been there and the impact of the beast tides had been significantly suppressed, the entire base would have fallen long ago.
As soon as Chu Jungui left, the base's technology immediately came to a standstill. Many projects under development were either stranded or progressed extremely slowly. It was only then that Chu Jungui's core role in the development of the base was fully realized.
Although the federal attack was disrupted by the subsequent beast tide, the electromagnetic bombs they threw destroyed the main brain of the base. As a result, the entire base could only rely on the biochip main brain built before Chu Jungui left, and the computing power was equivalent to a two-digit drop.
generation.
However, these are not insurmountable. What is really fatal is Chu Jungui and Lin Xi leaving without saying goodbye. Everyone in the base thinks that they have been abandoned. They have lost hope and have lost the motivation to live. Most people
It is to live numbly, waiting for the day of death and decay.
On this damn Planet 4, the ultimate fate of such a base must be to be submerged by a tide of beasts. Whenever a tide of beasts comes, they will instinctively resist. If they can block it, it is good, but if they cannot stop it, it will just bring forward the Judgment Day.
It's just arrived.
Putting down the report, Chu Jungui glanced at the people in the conference room. They were all in a similar state to the walking dead at the moment. Chu Jungui's return brought a brief moment of hope, and then they became accustomed to silence.
Chu Jungui first looked at Roland, "How many people are there in the base now?"
Roland hesitated, "2,200, no, 2,300 people. Well, it should be that many."
Chu Jungui interrupted him, "Go and find out the exact number first and then come in! I'll wait for you here."
Roland was a little embarrassed and left the conference room without saying a word. A moment later, he returned to the conference room, this time bringing precise figures: "There are currently 2,271 people in the base, including 270 non-combatants, and the rest have lost their combat capabilities.
There were a total of 469 sick and wounded people.”
Having lost so many people... Chu Jun's heart is heavy with his heart. Now the number of people in the base has dropped to a very dangerous level. No matter how small it is, it will be difficult to withstand the impact of the beast tide. And once there is a gap, with the current morale, it will immediately be
A complete rout. So even though there are still more than 2,000 people, maybe after one or two beast waves, the whole army will be wiped out.
Chu Jungui looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "The last time we left was a complete accident. We encountered an ambush by the federal fleet. But, I still came back! No matter whether we fight out of this damn galaxy or we are in
If we take root here, I will be with you! Let us defeat those damn beasts and the damn Federals!"
