Chapter 1307 Star Sea (111)
Chapter 1307 Star Sea (One Hundred Eleven)
For the survivors on Tempus, the greatest wish is to leave this planet that has been occupied by the Nether Clan and completely destroyed by war.
Return to the safety of the Empire.
The five people present were no exception. They had persisted on the planet Tempus for three years, losing their homes, their previous lives, and even the most basic supplies.
Not only that, they also face the threat of the Nether Clan all the time, and they dare not sleep too deeply at night.
Afraid of losing my life in my dream.
How torturous and painful such days are!
Now Wang Chen said that he could take them away from Tempus Planet, 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? Is it worth my effort to deceive you?"
His words were rude, like a direct slap in the face, but the middle-aged man's eyes lit up when he heard them, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Then I'll sell my life to you!"
Although the other four people didn't say anything, their expressions and eyes said it all.
Wang Chen said calmly: "What's the point of me taking your life? Just cooperate honestly and don't play tricks."
"Don't worry!"
The middle-aged man clenched his fists tightly: "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 retracted his spiritual energy 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 cheer.
It can be considered a blessing in disguise!
There was still some food that Wang Chen hadn't finished eating, and there was plenty of fuel in the gas stove, so the five of them gathered around to eat his leftovers, and they actually ate until tears came down.
The middle-aged man had strong self-control. After eating a little food, he said, "Sir, this place is not safe. 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 turned out that just half a year ago, the B00785 base was attacked by the Nether Clan. Although they fought desperately, they had lost their main technological weapons and were no match for the alien race, and the casualties were extremely tragic.
The few survivors retreated to the backup base of base B00785, which is an underground material storage point.
That's why I'm lucky enough to be alive today.
Originally there were more than 00785 people in the B base, but currently there are less than survivors in the backup base!
Hearing this, Wang Chen couldn't help but ask: "Are you guys here to collect supplies? Aren't the reserves in the backup base enough?"
The middle-aged man showed a look of grief and indignation: "We opened the reserve base and found that the supplies stored inside 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-level combatant.
Since the supplies at the reserve base could not meet the long-term living needs of more than 4,000 people, there was no choice but to send small teams out to risk their lives to collect them.
Fortunately, many members of the Netherworld Clan have disappeared in recent times, including the B00785 base they occupied.
Zhang Zhiyi and others also mastered the activity patterns of the Nether Clan. Now is their time to go out hunting, so it is relatively safe to come here to collect supplies.
But no one knows whether these terrible alien races will suddenly come back, so they can't stay for a long time.
Wang Chen was silent.
The situation at the B00785 base is obviously the same as that at the D01359 base, and the deductions are even more severe.
In fact, it is not surprising that such a thing happened.
It’s just that some people’s bottom line is so low, to the point of being outrageous.
Is it because the emperor is far away?
Wang Chen had no intention of continuing this topic. He pointed at Xu Chengzhi's photo and 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 photo 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, then said, "I haven't seen them since. I suspect they were imprisoned by Commander Mu."
Wang Chen's eyes flashed: "Commander Mu?"
Zhang Zhiyi nodded: "Yes."
Mu Haitao, Major Staff Officer of the Tempus Star Garrison Corps and an A-level combatant.
After the fall of the B00785 base, it was this major who led all the survivors to retreat to the reserve base and organized a production self-rescue operation, and has held on to it until now.
He is the undisputed leader of the reserve base!
Zhang Zhiyi had quite complicated feelings towards this leader. 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 Netherworld Clan, they would most likely be defeated due to internal strife.
On the other hand, Mu Haitao implemented extremely strict military control measures at the reserve base, forcing civilians like them to risk their lives to collect supplies in exchange for food and water to sustain themselves.
Wang Chen asked in a deep voice: "Then you don't know that the Tempus star cluster has been recaptured by the Empire?"
"The Tempus Cluster was recaptured by the Empire?"
Zhang Zhiyi and the other four said in unison, looking extremely shocked!
This is wrong.
Wang Chen immediately realized the problem.
According to the other party, Xu Chengzhi and others were imprisoned by Mu Haitao. That means this leader must know the current situation and he kept it a secret from the people in the base.
What does Mu Haitao want to do?
Although he was full of doubts, Wang Chen remained calm on the surface: "Yes, I just landed by air. The ship that will pick me up will come again in a while, so I can promise you to leave."
He took out a can of drink and handed it to the other person: "Look at the production date."
Zhang Zhiyi and others were all dumbfounded.
Only at this moment did they completely believe that Wang Chen really did not deceive them!
Wang Chen continued, "These people are the first group to be airdropped, but because the current situation on Tempus is very special, all technological equipment has failed, resulting in the empire being unable to carry out large-scale rescue operations. They can only send a small number of people for reconnaissance."
"I'm here to bring these heroes of the Empire back!"
Zhang Zhiyi and the other five looked at each other in bewilderment. Wu Xiaotian suddenly said, "Sir, Commander Mu should be a sympathizer of the rebel forces. He is not loyal to the empire!"
Several people were all shocked, and Zhang Zhiyi quickly said: "Wu Xiaotian, you can't say that!"
"I didn't say anything nonsense!"
Wu Xiaotian was a little anxious: "When the base fell, I saw him open the cell where the rebels were held!"
Zhang Zhiyi was speechless.
Wang Chen smiled and said, "I see, thank you for the information."
At this point, the basic situation is clear.
Wang Chen has made a decision - cut the Gordian knot and finish this mission as quickly as possible! -
The second update is sent.
