For the survivors on Tempus, their greatest wish is to leave this planet occupied by the Nether Tribe and completely destroyed by war.
Return to the safety of the empire.
The five people present were no exception. They persisted on Planet Tempus for three years, lost their homes, lost their previous lives, and could not even provide the most basic supplies.
Not only that, they also face threats from the Netherworld tribe all the time, and they don't dare to sleep too hard at night.
Afraid of losing my life in my dream.
Such days are so torturous and painful!
Now Wang Chen said that he could take them away from Planet Tempus, which sounded like a dream.
The middle-aged man asked in a trembling voice: "You, you didn't lie to us, did you?"
Wang Chen sneered: "Who do you think you are, worthy of my efforts to coax you?"
His words were rude, no different from a slap in the face, but after hearing this, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up and he hissed: "Then I will sell you my life!"
Although the other four people did not speak, their expressions and eyes said everything.
Wang Chen said calmly: "What's the point of taking your life? As long as you cooperate honestly and don't play tricks."
"Don't worry!"
The middle-aged man clenched his fists hard: "I will do whatever you say!"
Wang Chen really wanted to suggest that the other party restore the appearance settings, but there was no need to say such joking words anymore.
He withdrew his spiritual power and said, "Let's eat something first."
The other four people were freed, and when they looked at each other, they couldn't help but cheered.
It’s a blessing in disguise!
Wang Chen still had some uneaten ingredients, and there was plenty of fuel in the gas stove. The five of them gathered around to eat the leftover soup, which made them cry.
The middle-aged man showed great self-control. After eating some food, he said, "Sir, it's very unsafe here. We have to leave as soon as possible."
Wang Chen asked: "Are you the survivors of base B00785?"
The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "It used to be."
It turns out that just half a year ago, the B00785 base was attacked by the Nether Clan. Although they resisted desperately, they lost their main technological weapons and were no match for the aliens. Their casualties were extremely heavy.
The few survivors evacuated to the backup base of the B00785 base, which is an underground material storage point.
That's how lucky I am to be alive now.
Originally there were more than 70,000 people in the B00785 base, but currently there are less than 5,000 survivors in the reserve base!
Hearing this, Wang Chen couldn't help but ask: "Are you guys here to collect supplies? Are the reserves in the reserve base not enough?"
The middle-aged man looked sad and angry: "We opened the reserve base and found that the supplies stored in it were less than one percent of the standard, not even one percent!"
He introduced himself as Zhang Zhiyi, who was originally the security captain of a local company in Delai City and a D-class combatant.
Since the supplies in the reserve base could not meet the long-term living needs of more than 4,000 people, we had no choice but to send out small teams to risk collecting.
Fortunately, many Nether Tribes have disappeared recently, including the B00785 base occupied by them.
Zhang Zhiyi and others have also mastered the activities of the Nether Clan. Now is the time for them to go out hunting, so it is relatively safe to come here to collect supplies.
But no one knows whether these terrifying alien races will suddenly come back, so they cannot stay for a long time.
Wang Chen was silent.
The situation of the B00785 base is obviously the same as that of the D01359 base, and even more severe.
In fact, it's not surprising at all that something like this happens.
It's just that some people's bottom line is so low that it's outrageous.
Is it because the sky is high and the emperor is far away?
Wang Chen had no intention of continuing this topic and pointed at Xu Cheng
Zhi’s photo said: “Tell me about him.”
Zhang Zhiyi hesitated for a moment and replied: "Three months ago, I saw him and several other people in the photos at the reserve base. They were all wearing the combat uniforms of the Imperial Army Special Forces, so I remember them very clearly."
Wang Chen asked: "What about now?"
Zhang Zhiyi was silent for a moment, and then said: "I haven't seen them since. I suspect they were imprisoned by Chief Mu."
Wang Chen's eyes flashed: "Sir Mu?"
Zhang Zhiyi nodded: "Yes."
Mu Haitao, major staff officer of Tempus Star Garrison, A-level combat professional.
After the B00785 base fell, it was this major who led all the survivors to retreat to the reserve base, organized a production self-rescue operation, and has been holding on until now.
He is the well-deserved leader of the reserve base!
Zhang Zhiyi's feelings towards this leader are quite complex. On the one hand, without Mu Haitao, even if the thousands of people in the reserve base did not die at the hands of the Nether Clan, they would probably be defeated due to civil strife.
On the other hand, Mu Haitao implemented extremely strict military control measures at the reserve base, forcing civilians like them to venture out to collect supplies in exchange for subsistence food and drinking water.
Wang Chen asked in a deep voice: "Then you don't know that the Tempus constellation has been recovered by the empire?"
"The Tempus cluster was recaptured by the Empire?"
Zhang Zhiyi and the other five people said in unison, looking extremely shocked!
This is not right.
Wang Chen immediately realized the problem.
According to the other party, Xu Chengzhi and others were imprisoned by Mu Haitao, so the leader must know the current situation and actually kept it secret from the people in the base.
What does Mu Haitao want?
Although he was full of doubts, Wang Chen remained calm on the surface: "Yes, I just landed by air. The spaceship that will pick me up will come again in a while, so I can give you the promise to leave."
He took out a can of drink and handed it to the other party: "Look at the production date."
Zhang Zhiyi and others were all dumbfounded.
At this moment, they completely believed that Wang Chen really did not deceive themselves!
Wang Chen continued: "These people were the first batch to be airborne, but because the current situation on Planet Tempus is very special and all technological equipment has failed, the empire is unable to carry out large-scale rescue and can only send a few people for reconnaissance.
"
"I'm here to take these imperial heroes back!"
Zhang Zhiyi and the other five looked at each other, and Wu Xiaotian suddenly said: "Sir, Mu, Chief Mu should be a sympathizer of the rebel forces, he is not loyal to the empire!"
Several people were all startled, and Zhang Zhiyi said quickly: "Wu Xiaotian, you can't say this nonsense!"
"I didn't say anything nonsense!"
Wu Xiaotian was a little anxious: "When the base fell, I saw him opening the cells where the rebels were detained!"
