Chapter 72: The Captive

Chu Jungui walked to the colonel's side, circled around him, and found that there was indeed no weapon on his body, so he ordered him to open the interface of the battle armor and take over the supreme authority of the battle armor. In this case, if the colonel wanted to escape or resist, Chu Jungui could activate the self-destruct device of the battle armor at any time.

After ensuring safety, Chu Jungui asked the colonel to transmit his map information.

After the information was transmitted, there were large areas on the maps of Chu Jungui and Lin Xi, and the locations of the shadow fortresses, the route of the chariot troops, the assembly points, and so on were all displayed on the map.

Lin Xi pointed to the map and said, "The Shadow Fortress is about a thousand kilometers away from us, and the maximum range of the planetary chariot is also about a thousand kilometers. They must have prepared supply vehicles, so the maximum range of the search mission was about 800 kilometers or less. It's just that they found out where we are, so they chased us all the way. ”

"So we've got some time. If they were to gather the rest of the chariots, it would not only take time, but they would also not have enough fuel to go back. On foot, these warriors could not cover more than 200 kilometers. ”

"That's right, let's start packing up. Lin Xi patted the colonel on the shoulder and said, "You are more familiar with these chariots than us, and you can dismantle anything that can be used." If you want to survive, work hard. ”

Roland seemed to have resigned himself to his fate, and returned to his chariot first, opened the rear hatch, and dragged several corpses out of it. The bodies were all shocked to death in the first artillery attack. Chu Jungui's cannon hit the roof of the car squarely, blowing up the weak roof armor.

He stretched out his hand and drew a circle in front of his forehead, which was a reminding ritual of the same religion, the largest religion in the Federation. After doing this, he removed all the armor from the warriors' bodies and arranged their corpses neatly. Most of the instruments inside the vehicle are damaged, but fortunately, most of the shells are intact.

When Chu Jungui and Lin Xi were carrying the cannonballs, they were secretly glad when they heard that Rose had ordered that the main cannon should not be used. Otherwise, the five chariots would fire at the same time, and no matter how powerful Chu Jungui was, it would be impossible to destroy them at the same time. With the fragility of the mobile base, you have to lie down after a shot.

Most of the rest of the high-speed vehicles were blown up to the point of burning and exploding, with little recovery value other than some metal. The biggest reward of cleaning up the battlefield is a complete set of vehicle power packs, as well as two fusion energy packs that provide auxiliary energy.

Both fusion energy packets each have an output power of 100 kW to power the vehicle's various equipment. At full power output, fusion packets are capable of delivering for up to a year. Although the power is the same, the volume of these two energy packets is several times larger than Chu Jungui's fusion energy packets.

From this, the technical strength of the Special Operations Service can be seen.

When cleaning up the battlefield, Lin Xi built three cutting machines, divided one for each of them, first cut off a main gun, and then began to cut the armor of various parts of the chariot. In the end, about ten tons of armor were collected, and the cleaning of the battlefield was over. No amount of stuff can hold it.

Returning to the mobile base, Chu Jungui planned a new route, with the Shadow Fortress as the center of the circle, and traveled along the circumference.

After the mobile base was opened, the speed soon climbed to 40 kilometers and boomed.

Roland was stunned and asked, "You guys are so fast?"

"It was supposed to be that fast. Lin Xi replied.

Roland sighed, shook his head, and said, "So it seems that they won't be able to find you at least next time." ”

"Okay, tell me about you. Why do you want to make so much effort to open up this place?" Lin Xi asked.

"I was appointed to land, and it is impossible to know exactly why I am in my position. All I know is to find something on this planet. But we didn't expect that the protists of this planet were very ferocious and seemed to have developed a simple group intelligence. We suffered huge losses as soon as we landed, three of the five landing ships crashed, and the remaining two barely managed to land, and as soon as we gathered the surviving fighters on the crashed landing ships, we encountered the attack of the beast tide. ”

"We've never seen such a violent impact, and they're far more powerful than any beast in the ordinary sense of the word. In the first wave of the onslaught, we suffered heavy losses, and then General Joseph had to blow himself up with a landing ship to temporarily stop the advance of the beast tide. By this time, there were only 200 of the 1,500 people we had left when we first landed. ”

"Fortunately, the extraplanetary headquarters seems to have expected it, and the second wave of General William will lead four landing ships to support. While traversing the Ion Storm layer, one landing ship was still lost. But with the strength of General Wilhelm's fresh army, we were able to build a small fortress wall. With the cover of the fortress wall, it withstood the attack of the second wave of beast tides. ”

"However, the beast tide is attacking more and more fiercely, and the number has reached more than ten times that of the first wave. Later, the scale of the beast tide outside the fortress would often be maintained in the tens of thousands. Our fortress was breached several times, and then withstood the attack at the last moment. We've been on this planet for 49 home days. But here, it's only 7 days. ”

"How much are your losses?" Lin Xi asked.

The colonel's voice was a little low: "The total number of war dead is 39,700. There are currently 5,000 more people in the Shadow Fortress. In addition, there will be one replenishment on each home planet day, and two landing ships at a time, bringing supplies and necessary personnel replenishment. At this stage, the daily replenishment of troops is 1,500. Now the Federation is preparing for a larger-scale replenishment. ”

"What about Sheng Tang's actions?" Lin Xi asked the question he was most concerned about.

The colonel said: "According to our intelligence, Sheng Tang had previously sent one intermediate agent to land first, and then two more junior agents to land. ”

Speaking of this, Roland glanced at Chu Jungui and Lin Xi and said, "It seems that the junior agent is you." Send a junior agent who does not have an entourage army to land, Sheng Tang just wants you to die. It's good luck to be alive until now. ”

Lin Xi said: "It's not so easy to want us to die. You go on, what happened to the agent before, where is it?"

"We found him, to be exact, traces of his existence," Roland said. Judging from the ruins of the camp, he was torn apart by the beast tide less than a day after he landed. ”

"What about the mobile base of the Special Operations Division?"

"You mean the Red Pupil? It has been exposed, and although it has managed to escape the pursuit of the Federation fleet, it has also suffered heavy damage itself, and it will not be able to return for a while. ”

Lin Xi's heart sank slightly, and the last bit of hope was shattered. If the agent who landed first can hold it up, it should be firmly established by now, and there is a decent base to consider building a spaceship to escape from this planet.

But now, everything is on your own.
