Chapter 1301: Star Sea (One Hundred and Five)
The bar was packed with more than three hundred people.
After receiving the news, all the survivors of D01359 base who could come rushed over.
Since the fall of Tempus three years ago, they have been forced to hide in this small base, hoping day and night that the Empire could retake the planet.
However, as the days passed, everyone's hope slowly disappeared and everyone was about to despair.
The dust that fell from the sky undoubtedly rekindled the fire of hope among the survivors.
The Empire has recaptured the Tempus Star Cluster and is trying to solve the problem of energy radiation on Tempus Star...
These great news made everyone cry with joy, many people hugged each other and even shouted slogans.
"Long live the Empire!"
In this atmosphere, the bar owner took out all the stored wine and distributed it to everyone.
But not many people appreciated it, and most people glared at him.
Some just started swearing.
The bar owner who was treated like this didn't dare to talk back. He just smiled awkwardly, looking very cowardly.
But Wang Chen would not have the slightest sympathy for him.
Through the conversation with Lu Kui, Wang Chen learned that problems had occurred at the D01359 base more than a year ago, and various equipment and facilities gradually became ineffective under the influence of unknown energy.
As an engineer at the base, Lu Kui and his team tried every possible way, using existing tools and materials to create a set of simple lighting and ventilation equipment, barely maintaining the most basic operation of this underground base.
Unexpectedly, the bar owner and Tiehu's group of people, relying on their few combat professionals, forcibly controlled the base and occupied the reserve materials, and formulated a set of so-called rules.
Under the oppression of these guys, most people in the base had a hard time living, and were even forced to run to the surface to collect supplies in exchange for food and water.
Many people went to the surface and never came back.
At this point, the bar owner couldn't help but complain: "It's not that I don't want to give everyone food, but the material reserves of this base are only one-tenth of the normal level. If we don't use them sparingly and distribute them reasonably, we won't be able to sustain it for a few years."
"Pooh!"
Lu Kui spat a mouthful of thick phlegm at the other party: "You eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks every day, but how much quota do you give us? We still have to take risks to find supplies on the ground to exchange, do you have any shame?"
The bar owner was speechless.
The people he relied on, such as Tiehu, have all been controlled and can no longer abuse their power.
Wang Chen frowned: "Is it true that the material reserves are only one tenth?"
Lu Kui sighed and said, "It's true. Our base still has a lot of them. I've met people from other bases. The situation there is even worse. Many warehouses are empty!"
This is wrong.
Wang Chen immediately realized what was going on.
Given the empire's strength and technological level, since it has built so many underground bases on the planet Tempus, it is impossible not to reserve sufficient supplies to ensure normal operation.
A man next to him sneered and said, "There's nothing strange about this. The supplies for Tempus before the war were always supplied by the Wanhai Group. They must have colluded with someone and embezzled them."
Lu Kui's face turned pale: "Shut up!"
This topic is so sensitive that even if everyone knows it, speaking it out loud like this is definitely a way to get killed.
Wanhai Group is a well-known large group with assets measured in trillions. It is too easy for it to crush a few small players.
The man also knew the pros and cons and shut his mouth in disappointment.
Wang Chen smiled and said, "Let's not talk about this for now, Engineer Lu, do you know how to get to the nearest base?"
"The nearest one is the B00785 base, which is only about a hundred kilometers away from us."
Lu Kui answered without hesitation: "Base B00785 was originally connected to our base by an underground passage, but it was destroyed two years ago and there is no way to open it again."
"But our people have encountered their hunters on the ground, and it is said that there are still tens of thousands of people alive in B00785."
The B00785 base is a large base that can accommodate up to 01359 people. The conditions are definitely much better than those of D.
Wang Chen couldn't help but ask: "Have you ever thought about going to base B00785?"
"Why haven't you thought about that..."
Lu Kui smiled bitterly and said, "But we are not combat professionals, and we cannot go through the underground passage. We are not sure we can go there on the surface."
In fact, some people really left D01359 and ran to B00785, but these people walked hundreds of kilometers, and whether they encountered mutant creatures or the Netherworld, the outcome can be imagined.
Unless it is absolutely necessary, who would be willing to take such a big risk?
And is B00785 really better than D01359?
It’s also hard to say!
"Not good!"
At this moment, a man rushed into the bar and shouted, "Our gate has been attacked, it's probably the hunters from the Nether Clan!"
The Nether Clan Hunter!
The bar suddenly exploded, many people huddled together in fear, and some wanted to run away.
For the survivors of the planet Tempus, the Nether Hunters are absolutely a nightmare!
I didn't expect that he would come to my door today.
There were also people who stared at Wang Chen with resentment in fear, obviously blaming him as an outsider.
"You guys keep an eye on these guys."
Wang Chen took his shotgun and handed it to Lu Kui: "Whoever causes trouble should be shot dead. Don't be soft-hearted."
"I'll deal with the Nether Clan outside!"
He was just thinking about seeing the great enemy of the empire or humanity, but he didn't expect the other party to come to him on their own initiative.
While Lu Kui was confused, Wang Chen had already left the crowded bar and quickly rushed to the entrance of the D01359 base.
Even from quite a distance, he could hear the dull sound of impact.
There was no one in front of the steel shield door, and the other guard had disappeared. The heavy protective door suddenly had bulges, which was shocking to see.
Fortunately, the material of the steel shield door was strong enough. The Nether Clan hunters outside rushed into it several times without success, and then there was no further movement.
Seems to have been evacuated.
However, in Wang Chen's perception, there were several shadows wandering outside, and the other party had no intention of giving up.
boom!
The next moment, accompanied by a deafening crash, the steel shield door was actually hit hard, creating a large bulge, and countless cracks appeared on the surface.
And the second wave of impact followed.
This time the steel shield door could no longer bear the pressure and was knocked open!
A ferocious monster suddenly rushed in.
The Netherworld Clan!
An indescribable evil aura rushed towards him, shocking Wang Chen, who was guarding behind the door, and his eyes became extremely sharp.
boom! boom! boom!
The large-caliber shotgun in his hand immediately roared.
While firing, Wang Chen also saw the appearance of the invading enemy clearly - it was exactly the same as the Nether Clan hunter in the information! -
The second update is sent.
