The Doomsday Shadow Fortress stands alone on the ground after the disaster. The outer walls of the fortress have been destroyed in many places, and beast corpses are everywhere. The surviving soldiers are cleaning up the battlefield, and several heavy-duty mechas use the carriages of trucks as shovels.
, clearing boxes of animal carcasses outside the fortress.
Several hill-like piles of animal corpses have been piled up outside the fortress, and they are still stacking up. There are so many animal corpses that the main battle vehicle is also used as a forklift, but the cleanup work looks like it will cost at least one or two dollars.
It only takes a genius to complete it. Several special engineering vehicles are spraying fuel on the pile of animal carcasses. A raging fire has begun in a pile of corpses, but I don't know how long it will take to burn out.
In the fortress, William, Joseph and Kyle stood together, looking at the man opposite, their expressions were not very good.
"Logically speaking, I should express my gratitude. But now, I really can't say the word." Joseph's voice was cold.
The man opposite was wearing a general-level battle armor with an eye-catching pirate flag logo on his chest. He didn't care about Joseph's indifference and smiled: "No need to thank me, I'm just performing a mission."
"I've never heard of the Jolly Roger coming to the Lancers' rescue."
The man said: "Sir Looney has a broad mind. Besides, in this damn place, if you die, we probably won't be able to survive. As for those supplies, just think of them as compensation for your false intelligence."
Joseph and William looked at each other, and William coughed and said, "Whether they provided false information, we don't know."
"I believe."
Kyle said at this time: "Let's plan what we are going to do next. The beast tide may come again at any time."
Joseph nodded and emphasized: "Let me state in advance that I will only temporarily cooperate with the Jolly Roger in this hellish place. Once you leave here, don't expect me to provide you with any help!"
The smile of the man with the Jolly Roger remained unchanged, "Of course. If it were another planet, I would be willing to follow the beast tide and collect your corpses instead of stabbing the beast tide in the butt like I did just now."
"You stabbed me too hard, I was almost killed by your gravity missile!" Joseph was very dissatisfied.
"Those missiles were meant to clear the airspace of the fortress. I didn't expect that someone would fly into the sky in a heavy mecha during a beast wave attack."
Joseph looked hesitant, "How much do you know about the beast tide?"
"Because we don't know much, we are even more confused."
Joseph's face turned red and he had to change the subject. Taking off in the midst of the beast horde was an act of suicide, not to mention that he was driving a heavy mecha, not a fighter jet. Under the gravity that was one and a half times that of Planet 4,
The aerial mobility of the mecha is very impressive.
But in front of the pirate flag, he couldn't say that he was really eager for reinforcements to appear, so he took off to observe.
Kyle once again came to the rescue in time, "Why do you have gravity missiles?"
"It's considered a strategic reserve. Lucky for you, these missiles have just been delivered and can only be stored for 24 hours. They will be scrapped when the time is up."
Joseph's eyes widened immediately, "Do you transport a batch of gravity missiles every day?"
"Yes."
"..." Joseph wanted to curse again. Compared with the Jolly Roger, the Lancers behaved like beggars. All the missiles they used were not worth a single gravity missile. After all, the two are not from the same generation.
.
The man in the Jolly Roger didn't seem to want to let go of the opportunity to hit the target, "When we found that gravity bombs were particularly effective against the beast tide, we doubled the amount of supplies."
Joseph had no desire to ask about the specific supply quantity.
The man continued to hit the target, "Double both bases."
Joseph didn't want to chat with him anymore.
Fortunately, the man saw that his heart was almost stabbed, so he stopped and said: "We discovered the abnormal movement of the beast tide and judged that it was coming towards you, so we sent a mobile unit to come to the rescue. In addition, we also have a
This is a high-level secret mission that requires your assistance."
"Say!" The fact that Jolly Roger came to ask for help clearly made Joseph feel happy.
"That's right, we need to save an important person. We are sure that she is still alive."
"Let's go to the command center to talk." William led everyone towards the command center building.
Only the top floor of the command building has floor-to-ceiling windows, while the remaining floors have only small and narrow windows, like the shooting holes of a fortress.
The man with the Jolly Roger stopped outside the building and looked at it carefully for a while, thoughtfully.
The original command building was neat and clean, and you could enjoy the scenery of different locations in the fortress from any floor. However, when the war beasts invaded the interior of the fortress several times and even broke into the command building, all the windows on the lower floors of the command building were armored.
The boards are sealed, and only the shooting holes are retained in the middle and upper levels.
From the Shadow Fortress to the Shadow of Doom, only the location of this command building has not changed. Its changes also record the history of the entire fortress.
In Base 2, Hathaway was sitting on the top of the base, looking at the scenery in the distance.
Base No. 2 is busy, and several small satellite bases are changing at a speed visible to the naked eye. One of the small bases has expanded to the boundary of the main base and is connected to the main base.
Middleton is leading a few soldiers to remove stacks of standard building material panels from the engineering vehicle and build passages connecting the main base and the satellite base. As soon as they put the armor plate in the predetermined place, the connection will automatically
Clamp it tightly. Then use the comprehensive construction tool to fix the connecting parts, and the construction is completed.
The process of installing a standard building material panel takes less than a minute. Compared with the construction process, it may take longer to move things.
After the construction of the channel is completed, special paint is sprayed to complete the sealing and achieve air-tight conditions. The emergence of new paint also benefits from survival-grade composite materials. It is the main part of air-tight paint.
As long as the manpower is sufficient and the work is skilled, a ten-meter-long airtight corridor can be completed in less than an hour.
In the opposite direction where the beast tide often appears, it has become a brand new production base. Multiple refining furnaces are lined up, spitting out refined materials in a steady stream.
In the distance, two large engineering transport trucks were slowly driving back, obviously filled with materials.
The entire base is changing all the time, especially the news that the beast's nest has been breached. Everyone sees the first glimmer of hope for returning home. The same is survival, there is hope and there is no hope, the status is completely different.
Everyone in the base is busy. Perhaps Hathaway is the only one who can take a leisurely look at the scenery. In fact, she is not really idle. At this time, her personal chip is running research tasks at full speed. And now the task list is getting longer and longer.
It’s so long that it seems like it will never be finished.
At this moment, an alarm clock reminder suddenly appeared on her personal terminal. Her expression changed.
