Seeing that it was humans who came to the rescue instead of war beasts, the federal soldiers did not hesitate and immediately climbed out of the tank or mecha to surrender. Compared with being eaten alive by the war beasts, the dignity lost in surrender was no longer worth it.
Nothing.
After having experienced hiding in the cabin of a tank, listening to the sounds of war beasts gnawing at armor plates outside, and silently calculating how long I could last, the greatest happiness is to still be alive.
Chu Jungui was worried that the beast tide might reappear at any time, so he quickly gathered the prisoners and asked them to carry food supplies to Base No. 2. The remaining engineering vehicles only selected a few mechas with minimal damage and dragged them back to the base, and the others were temporarily
Throw it where it belongs.
Inside the base, engineers and scientists connected the power of the mobile base to Base 2 and restored the power supply. With power, there are still hundreds of intact turrets in the base, providing the most basic security guarantee.
The prisoners were well aware of their situation and did not passively wait for deployment. Instead, they directly invested in the reconstruction of the base. Now that most of the No. 2 base has been destroyed, the basic defenses must be repaired immediately to restore production capacity.
The final statistics surprised Chu Jungui. A total of 1,100 people were captured in this battle, including Lancers and Jolly Roger. The two major federal armies joined together to achieve such a large-scale offensive.
But the little princess is missing.
There was no response to the call on the communication channel. Chu Jungui thought at first that something had happened to her, but upon further reflection, it was unlikely. Hathaway's armor was of a very high level and had outstanding defensive performance, but it was hit by a tank cannon.
A direct hit would not kill her. Moreover, everyone searched the battlefield but could not find anything belonging to her.
Chu Jungui asked around and found that no one had seen Hathaway since the war began. It was not only Hathaway who was missing, but also Middleton.
The only possibility for the two men to disappear at the same time is that they left together with the incoming federal troops.
Both Lin Xi and Mei Mei seemed to be in a low mood, and they did not even hold regular meetings. Chu Jungui knew their feelings very well. After all, they had been living and fighting together during this period, and they were not only surviving in the extremely harsh environment.
After coming down, it has gradually grown and developed. It is not an exaggeration to evaluate this period of time in terms of living and dying together.
Chu Jungui didn't know what to say, so he was busy silently and deliberately ignored this matter. Anyway, there are enough things now, such as damaged chariots and corpses of war beasts all over the battlefield. These are resources and can be recycled
.Especially for war beast materials, the original inventory of Base 2 has been almost exhausted.
Prisoners of war are also a destabilizing factor. Once so many people have weapons, the consequences will be disastrous. For now, they may be willing to cooperate in order to survive, but no one knows what will happen after a while.
As a precaution, Chu Jungui required all surrendering warriors to hand over the underlying control rights of their armor and personal terminals. With control rights in hand, once they wanted to rebel, Chu Jungui only had to stop the operation of the armor's respiratory system.
The rebel fighters can be killed.
As for the remaining Jolly Roger warriors, they were also in a low mood. Hathaway let it go, and Middleton quietly left, letting them know that they had been completely abandoned.
While he was busy, Chu Jungui suddenly received a message from Lin Xi, "I thought she and I were already friends."
"We are friends and we will be friends in the future." Chu Jun returned.
"How can it be?"
"She can't stay with us forever."
"Yes, she has a family, is a high-ranking heir, and has her own responsibilities and things she must do."
"That's right. If one day we leave Planet 4, she will also return to her family."
"Yes."
Lin Xi knows more about the operating mechanism of the big family, and also knows that sooner or later the little princess will return to the family. Hathaway is not alone and cannot do whatever she wants. She is good enough and good enough, and more importantly, she is also good enough.
She is very young and has unlimited potential. Therefore, there are many people around her who invest in her. If Hathaway fails to grow, these investors will also be affected.
After another moment of silence, Lin Xi asked again: "She knows about this attack, right?"
"At least, she didn't provide us with the exact location. If it weren't for this fog, we wouldn't have suffered such a big loss."
"If she could tell us earlier, we could at least get out of here with a mobile base."
"She probably has her own reasons. In addition, the federal forces may not have contacted her. It's not like you don't know the communication environment here."
"Yeah." Lin Xi's voice seemed lighter, and it seemed that she was relieved, or at least pretending to be so.
The disappearance of Hathaway and Middleton was forgotten, and no one continued to mention it. The reconstruction of Base 2 was complicated, but fortunately, there were suddenly thousands more manpower, and for a while, there was no need to worry about no one to use it.
Already.
The beast tide may have suffered heavy losses and did not appear again in the next 24 hours. More than half of the federal troops suffered casualties. After suffering such heavy losses, there was no way to make a comeback without a period of rest.
When the operation of the base recovered slightly, Chu Jungui came to the room where Kai Tian was imprisoned. By this time, the big hole in the wall had naturally been repaired, and a soldier was sitting in the room, monitoring Kai Tian in the glass cover.
Kaitian spreads himself into a thin layer of black gas, covering the food tray, and is eating quietly. If you don't use the microscopic mode, you can hardly see the decrease in food. Kaitian eats very hard, but he is really slow
.But even though it eats little, it grows very fast.
Chu Jungui sat down at the table and asked the guarding soldiers to leave the room. When only he and Kai were left, Chu Jungui said, "Tell me, why do you want to stay?"
"It's you who locked me up here." Kaitian only had one eye floating on his face, showing confusion.
Chu Jungui looked at it quietly.
Several more eyes appeared in Kaitian, and he asked without answering, "How do you know I didn't run away?"
Chu Jungui pointed to the glass cover and said, "Originally, this thing was placed on the table, but when I saw you later, it was on the ground."
"When it exploded, it happened to hold me inside."
Chu Jungui smiled and said, "You can open it now, right?"
Kaitian was silent for a moment, then a dozen eyes floated up in one breath, casting faint light on the glass cover. The glass cover slowly floated into the air, and then moved aside.
"Be able to change the force field? How did you learn it?" Chu Jungui narrowed his eyes.
"Born."
"Okay, then why don't you leave?"
"The outside world is so scary. Here we have food, shelter, and protection. Why should I leave?"
