Chapter 35: Rescue
After a short period of fighting, Chu Jungui and Lin Xi didn't speak and concentrated on their own business. The attack just now was extremely thrilling, and even the test subjects were shocked. At this moment, the two of them are competing for time with the alien beasts, and they must establish a basic defense before their second wave of offensive arrives, otherwise there will be no fortifications to rely on, and two more Chu Jungui will have to die.
Lin Xi set up the manufacturing machine, connected the energy, and first built a multi-function tool knife. As soon as the tool knife arrived, Chu Jungui went straight to the woods, and ten minutes later, he came back with a bundle of wood that had been cut.
By the time he came back, Lin Xi had already made the head of a multi-purpose shovel. Chu Jungui cut out a wooden knob and connected it, walked to the predetermined construction point, and began to clean the ground.
This time is different from the situation when Lin Xi just picked him up.
Back then, Chu Jungui just needed to create a shelter from the wind and rain, with good concealment and convenience. And this time it was a fortification, a fortress, which had to be strong enough to have a high guarantee of defense. Therefore, Chu Jungui wanted to shovel off the floating soil on the ground, expose the rock base below, and prepare to build fortifications directly on the rock base.
After making the basic tools, Lin Xi began to build the parts one by one, preparing to build the base version of the manufacturing machine. There is only so much that this portable machine can do and can only be used in the initial stages.
At this moment, in the distant deep space, the mobile base jumped out of the wormhole silently, and under the reflection of the brilliant light, it could be seen that there were still many traces of battle on its shell, and there was a large hole of tens of meters in the tail of the hull, which had not yet had time to be repaired.
Red Hitomi stood on the command platform, condescending to look down on the entire command hall, his face gloomy as if he was about to drip water.
Although there were hundreds of people in the command hall, it was unusually quiet, and everyone was immersed in the work at hand, even those posts where they had to speak, and they all wore helmets.
A female adjutant walked quickly to Chitong's side and whispered, "My lord, the enemy fleet has not followed up, and it has been confirmed that the surrounding star fields are safe. ”
Red Pupil snorted and sneered: "A full Federation fleet is operating in Ophiuchus, and our intelligence department has no news at all! If this is the case, then what do you want them to do?"
The adjutant did not dare to take up the topic and continued: "The battle report and the damage to the base have been counted. We destroyed two of the opposing Eagle-class starships and severely damaged two. The base structure is 5.3% damaged and is expected to take 47 days to fully repair. The damage report is being prepared and will be completed in half an hour. ”
Red Hitomi was obviously impatient, and shouted, "Don't say these useless things. A couple of Eagle-class, hmph, just double it, can they compare to those two little ones? Now how can I explain to the doctor!"
"Didn't you already send Mangrove to Planet Four? he'll find a way to bring those two back. ”
The red pupil's face just looked better, and a communication request suddenly lit up on the command platform next to him, and then a file was transmitted. When the adjutant looked at the eye-catching red distress sign on the document, his face changed greatly, and he lost his voice: "Lord Mangrove's distress signal!?"
"Open it and take a look. ”
The adjutant opened the file, and a hologram appeared in the center of the command platform.
In the image, there is a valley with a camp in the center, which is fully equipped, and it looks like a temporary base on the planet's surface as a standard agent.
On the ridge in the distance, there was the wreckage of a huge landing ship, which was more than ten times larger than Chu Jungui's, and the hull was relatively well preserved.
From the wreckage to the camp, a road was even paved to facilitate transportation.
It's just that at this moment, thick smoke is billowing in the camp, and dozens of fighters are desperately shooting with the help of bunkers. Around the camp are dense with exotic beasts, and there are more than a dozen species at a rough glance.
Strange beasts were like a tide, and waves of them hit the camp's defensive circle, and each wave of impact would cut the defensive circle by one layer. The number of fighters involved in the defense in the camp was rapidly decreasing, and the rout was imminent.
A desperate voice sounded on the screen: "You lied to me, damn it, this is a trap! Our defenses can't hold up, come and save me, I can pay anything!" Hurry up, I won't be able to hold out for long!"
A flash of fire suddenly lit up in the center of the camp, and a survival capsule soared into the air.
When the planet's surface is unsurvivable, this capsule is the agent's last resort. It flies high in the planet's sky, enters or approaches orbiting the star, and floats there. The occupants of the capsule will be put into a cryogenic hibernation state to survive as long as possible and wait for rescue.
It's just that the environment of Planet 4 is beyond imagination, and the capsule has just risen to a high altitude, and suddenly dozens of ball-shaped lightning balls flew out of the ion storm layer, directly hitting the capsule, instantly turning it into ashes.
In front of the command platform, there was silence.
After a long time, the deputy official Ai Ai said, "Lord Mangrove, it should have fallen." What are we going to do now?"
The red pupil was silent, and after a while, he said slowly: "The mangrove tree was originally a foreshadowing that we sent over in advance to take root in order to ensure the safety of those two little guys, but I didn't expect it to fall so simply, and it didn't even last a few days. If a fourth-level agent can't get a foothold there, how long do you think those two little guys will last?"
How dare the adjutant answer this question.
Red Hitomi didn't expect an answer from her, and exhaled heavily, saying, "Even if they are dead, at least they have to get the bodies back." Fourth-level agents can't get a foothold, and most of the third-level agents are reluctant. Let's check what second-level agents can be mobilized recently!"
The adjutant immediately searched, and then said, "There are two second-level agents who can be transferred in the near future, one is Lord Lu Jingtian and the other is Lord Du Qifeng. The deployment time of Lord Lu is 5 months, and that of Lord Du is 9 months. ”
Red Hitomi actually knew this result for a long time, and her face was a little ugly. The so-called deployment time is the shortest time for them to arrive and land on Planet Four. It doesn't make sense any sooner, the most important thing for high-ranking agents is their private army. If you don't bring the troops into formations, even the first-level agents are no different from the first-level agents.
But in the end, the red pupil still said: "Let's transfer Lu to the sky." ”
The adjutant answered, and asked again: "But even if Lord Lu comes, he can't break through the blockade of the Federation Starship!"
Red Hitomi said, "I've informed Feiyan, she'll come and join us." ”
The adjutant let out a low cry and lost his voice: "Is that Lord Feiyan?"
Red Hitomi nodded.
The adjutant said, "If that's the case, that's really great." If you join forces with Lord Smoke, you'll be able to drive the Federation fleet away. ”
Red Pupil was not so happy, and said slowly: "It's really not good, I can also call the Ninth Fleet to come and support." However, it's better not to have this possibility. ”
The adjutant suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is Feiyan-sama's mobile base near us?"
"Of course not. It would be nine months before she arrived. ”
The adjutant was stunned for a moment, not to mention 9 months, that is, after 3 months, it is difficult to say whether the bones of those two little guys can be left.
