Of course Qu Jianlei would not refuse to enter the shelter.
The reason why they had promised not to enter the shelter was because they did not want the other party to be resistant.
Anyway, in Qu Jianlei's view, as long as he can get answers to a few questions, the effort will be worth it.
The talismans are indeed valuable, but they can be made at home, and the ones currently used are fake talismans captured from the alliance.
So he never thought that this deal was a loss, even if he saved those children, it was just a temporary idea on his part.
Now that the other party invited him in, he smiled and said, "Why, don't you doubt us now?"
In fact, he has always had this bad temper, but unfortunately, awakened people believe in strength first, and most people with high cultivation levels are like this.
The supreme leader on the opposite side didn't care and replied with a smile, "I think your team seems to have just come into contact with foreign races, so we could use some communication."
Of course, his intention is definitely not limited to communication, but this kind of thing would be meaningless if it was revealed.
Qu Jianlei, however, looked aggrieved, "Then let me stress one point, we do not accept the identity of the surveyor!"
"Okay, you're not done yet!" The Supreme Being on the opposite side pretended to be angry, but in fact he was just trying to get off the hook.
"Hurry up, the electromagnetic belt consumes too much energy!"
The heavy door of the large stronghold opened a crack, and eight figures quickly stepped in.
Qu Jianlei was the last one to enter. Even during the conversation, he did not forget to release the stone shield to resist the locust spell.
The electromagnetic belt can block the locust's close attack, and has little impact on the spell.
Among their group, he was also the one with the longest spiritual energy, and he was the only one responsible for the rear affairs.
Two soldiers were dispatched from the large stronghold and sent them and their children to the shelter through the connecting passage.
A middle-aged man with gray hair, wearing a brigadier general's uniform, was already waiting for them at the door of the shelter.
Seeing them coming in, the middle-aged brigadier general greeted them directly, "Welcome all distinguished guests, I am Wu Zhen of the Baozhi Military Region!"
There was a vague strange look in Qu Jianlei's eyes. The supreme leader of the alliance is really worthless. He is just a brigadier general?
He raised his hand and spoke in a lukewarm voice, "Have you seen Wu Zhen Supreme... is the consumption of the electromagnetic belt considered a burden?"
He knows the working principle of the electromagnetic belt and can also calculate the approximate consumption.
It's definitely a matter of eating more energy, but in such a large shelter, how much energy blocks are there?
"What you said..." Wu Zhen smiled bitterly, then shook his head, "Find a place to talk slowly."
He turned around to lead the way and answered directly, "With the current energy block, if you save a little, it can last for half a year, but..."
He couldn't say what happened next, but everyone already understood it - but would the foreign race give them half a year?
Wu Zhen knew better than the other party that once the aliens seriously launched an attack, the refuge's persistence would be in vain.
Qu Jianlei didn't ask again. In this situation, no matter how arrogant he is, he still has to consider his morale, right?
The passageways of the shelter are wide, the partitions are thick, and the design of each room is exquisite.
Not only does it look a bit like a maze, but the key is that the firepower can provide good support to each other.
Wu Zhen led them seven to eight hundred meters to a hall, where a dozen people were already waiting.
Seven or eight people came forward to pick up the children. At least nine out of ten children needed someone to take care of them!
Yuanyuan stepped forward, handed out a nearly useless talisman, handed it to the girl, and spoke expressionlessly.
"This is something in your cave, keep it and don't let anyone snatch it away!"
She really dislikes the people in the Alliance, but if she can borrow these children to enter the shelter, she will naturally have a clear distinction between grudges and grudges.
The talisman was snatched from the alliance, so there was no need to worry about being discovered.
However, even if the durability is low, it is still a storage talisman, and it is definitely a strategic-level commodity in short supply.
A trace of surprise flashed in Wu Zhen's eyes - this was really not an ordinary act of arrogance.
He already knew the general process of the rescue, and even found out who lived in that town.
But there is only one A-level left and right, and a shelter has been dug out - even if friends are included, how many A-levels can there be?
The key point is that there are just a bunch of dolls in the cave, and they can’t use the talismans. How could they leave the talismans behind?
He understood in his heart, so he had a better impression of this group of people.
So he glanced at the few "A-levels" he thought were there and spoke out.
"Are you guys... taking a rest here first? Our material supply is quite sufficient!"
This is why he doesn't mind accepting a few children. The alliance is indeed well prepared to resist the invasion of aliens.
But in the end, he felt a little uninterested. He was already trapped to death. No matter how abundant the supplies were, what was the use?
The worst thing is that the aliens can storm this shelter at any time, and they will most likely not have the chance to use up these supplies!
Qu Jianlei ignored his sadness and said directly, "I'm sorry, our team advances and retreats together!"
Wu Zhen was startled when he heard this, and then looked at the eight people in front of him.
Although there are more women than men, both men are of the highest level of cultivation, and among the six women, there is only one who is the highest, a level A!
He nodded slightly, "Such a team... that's right."
Then the Supreme Leader took these eight people to his reception room, which was a room of 200 square meters and beautifully decorated.
Seeing the weird looks in other people's eyes, he could only explain a few words, "It's not about being special. This is my office."
He was the head of a military factory before, and later took a temporary post in a local military region, so he had the rank of brigadier general.
Before the aliens arrived, the person in charge of the military factory was found guilty of corruption and was directly arrested by the military.
In fact, corruption... is really nonsense. If the production business is as big as it is, where can you go to get corrupted? How bad can it be?
After all, people are originally from the military and are gold-plated. It would be strange not to run away when they are in danger!
But escaping during battle is a big taboo in the military, so why not label him as corrupt and arrest him for interrogation first?
As for saying that frontline officers can't move lightly? That's even more nonsense - the other party knows that the matter is exposed, so who will be responsible if they surrender to the enemy?
It was nothing more than those little calculations, Wu Zhen knew them very well.
He could even guess that if Bao Zhixing's resistance went smoothly, there was a 90% chance that the current person who was captured would be acquitted!
But what made him depressed was that his current predecessor was taken away, and no one could take over in a hurry, so his predecessor was sent back again!
The superiors even talked to him - you must resist, there can't be a second scandal in this military factory!
What else could Wu Zhen say? Just grit your teeth and stand firm.
If he dares to violate the law, not to mention that the military will hold him accountable, the current backer will probably cause trouble for him!
I won’t explain all the twists and turns here.
But Wu Zhen didn't want to give up his job. He was from the local army and had feelings for the military factory and the local people.
He swore that he would fight and retreat until he was unable to resist.
To this end, he also used his connections to reserve a large amount of supplies - Baozhixing had a lot of military supplies, but he really didn't have any.
But Wu Zhen never imagined that once the aliens launched an attack, they would be so wild.
In just a few days, the Baozhi Military Region was completely destroyed and occupied outer space like a devastation.
Some people can still run out, but Wu Zhen was ordered to contain the aliens, so they can't escape even if they want to!
There must not be a second person who escapes in the military factory. No one, including the people of the Alliance, can accept this!
Up to now, Wu Zhen's containment mission has been completed, many subordinates have died, but many survivors have also been accepted.
But the crux of the problem is that he can't leave now even if he wants to.
He briefly explained his situation, mainly because he wanted to tell the other party: I am not someone who wants to enjoy himself even when death is imminent!
This is basically my office. When I was on temporary duty, others just kept it!
Qu Jianlei shook his head and replied simply, "I have no interest in these nonsense at all."
"I want to know now, why didn't the alien race take over the shelter in one go?"
"Maybe... you think it's unnecessary?" Wu Zhen replied thoughtfully, "After all, for them, we can't run away anymore."
"They are fighting across star domains. Regardless of the huge number, they can't bear too many deaths."
"And have you noticed that they currently occupy a small territory on Baozhi Planet?"
"About one-tenth," Qu Jianlei nodded. He really didn't object to communicating with people in the alliance about similar information.
Even if the Alliance fights with the Empire, it is still an internal conflict within the human race, which is not the same as the conflict between ethnic groups.
Wu Zhen nodded, "They also need to leave enough combat power for emergency response and a wider range of battles!"
"Okay," Qu Jianlei reluctantly accepted this statement. As for how credible it was... he didn't bother to think about it.
He moved directly to the second question, "These migratory locusts...we call them aliens. Is their meat edible?"
"Migratory locust... is quite appropriate," Wu Zhen nodded thoughtfully. Currently, there is no official name for that kind of insect.
But the next moment, he was stunned, and then looked at the other party with horrified eyes, "Why do you think of eating it?"
"Although the radiation dissipates quickly,... the meat is poisonous!"
"It can be treated non-toxic," Qu Jianlei said lightly, "it's so rich in energy."
"Yes, it is so rich in energy," Wu Zhen nodded with deep sympathy and repeated it.
Then he glanced at Qu Jianlei and asked thoughtfully, "Have you studied those... migratory locust corpses?"
"After a bit of research, there are still too many doubts," Qu Jianlei replied calmly, "But the non-toxic approach has begun to take shape."
"Non-toxic treatment?" Wu Zhen was startled at first, then looked ecstatic, "How much are you willing to sell this patent for?"
"Did I say I wanted to sell this patent?" Qu Jianlei looked at him strangely, "I just told you."
"So far, the cost of non-toxicization is too high. It is just a breakthrough and does not have any significance for promotion!"
When Wu Zhen heard this, he slapped his thigh and looked at him with a strange expression, "There is a breakthrough... That's enough!"
