Seeing the fortress from afar, Chu Jungui slowed down and tried to contact the base. Originally, the fort was defended very strongly, and if you approached it rashly, there was a high chance that it would be taken down as an enemy.

The contact was very smooth, and when Chu Jungui revealed his identity, an exclamation sounded in the communication channel. Hearing this noisy sound, Chu Jungui was relieved, at least it showed that the base was still in his own hands.

The landing craft flew over the base and slowly landed in an open field. Chu Jungui walked out of the landing craft, looked around, and his heart sank.

The original Doomsday Shadow Fortress is in a dilapidated state, with a modern design in full swing, some buildings in ruins, and large sections of the fortress walls have collapsed. Some of the gaps were hastily filled, while others simply ignored them and built a new low wall inside, which greatly reduced the actual area under the control of the base and shortened the defensive line accordingly.

The only additions were the three towering watchtowers, which housed weapon stations, which served as both defensive and vigilant functions. Except for the three watchtowers, there is mess and dilapidation everywhere as far as the eye can see. Most of the fighters who appeared around the landing craft were also in tattered armor and listless.

Chu Jungui looked around and saw all familiar faces, but they were not familiar with each other. He still remembered that the base was thriving when he left, why was it so dilapidated now? It didn't take long!

A person came in a hurry, and it wasn't until he stood in front of him that Chu Jungui asked tentatively, "Le Mans?"

The man smiled wryly, "It's me." Boss, why are you back again?"

"You're really Le Mans!" the subject scanned the other man's bone shape, and then dared to be sure.

Compared with the beginning, Le Mans has lost dozens of pounds at this moment, his eyes are sunken, and there are two big eye bags under his blue and black circles, which looks like he is more than ten years old. The only thing that remains unchanged is that his bald head is still shiny.

At this time, people appeared one after another and came to the square. Most of these people were slow to move, and their eyes were lifeless, and it wasn't until they saw Chu Jungui that some of them had surprises in their eyes.

Chu Jungui looked over one by one, "Roland, Duke, Croma, Terry...... What about Wilson?"

Roland's hair even turned gray, and he said, "The general is sick and has not recovered." You're back just in time to see him again. ”

"Sick?" Chu Jungui was very surprised.

"Yes, it's a very strange disease, and our current medicine doesn't work. ”

"Take me to see it, and in addition, send someone to bring down all the supplies on the ship. ”

A moment later, Chu Jungui came to Wilson's hospital room.

The room was unusually dark and airtight, and Wilson and several other patients were lying motionless on their beds wearing breathing masks, looking like corpses.

Chu Jungui looked up at the dim light above his head, and then came to Wilson's side and used his personal terminal to conduct a full scan.

Le Mans followed and whispered: "The general was bitten by a strange beast, and then he has not been able to recover, and later he has multiple infections." We don't have enough cures, so the situation is getting worse and worse. ”

Chu Jungui looked at the scan results, frowned, and said, "It's a bacterial infection, what about the medicine?"

Le Mans showed bitterness, "The second week after you left, we ran out of medicine stocks. At present, they rely on some primary drugs that can be produced in-house. If none of these drugs work, you will have to wait for death. ”

Chu Jungui immediately said: "There are two medical cabins and some medicines on my spaceship, and they have all been moved over and treated immediately. In addition, all senior officers were called and a meeting was held in 15 minutes. Before the meeting, I would like to report on all the major events during this time. ”

Roland gave a military salute and said, "Yes, General!"

Chu Jungui glanced at him and said, "I have a new military rank now, so I will call it according to my rank in the future." Don't call me General anymore. ”

"Okay, what's your new rank?"

"No, second lieutenant. ”

A moment later, a dozen officers came to the conference room. They looked at Chu Jungui at the end of the conference table, some excited, others doubtful and dazed.

Chu Jungui was reading the report he had just sent, and his face was very ugly.

Since their departure, the base has experienced multiple rounds of beast tides, as well as one attack by federal forces. The base suffered heavy losses under repeated impacts, and if it weren't for the presence of Kaitian, the impact of the beast tide was significantly suppressed, and the entire base would have fallen long ago.

As soon as Chu Jun left, the science and technology of the base immediately came to a standstill, and many projects under development were either stranded or progressed extremely slowly. It was only at this time that Chu Jungui's central role in the development of the base was fully reflected.

Although the Federation's attack was disintegrated by the subsequent beast tide, the electromagnetic bombs they threw destroyed the mastermind of the base. So much so that the entire base can only rely on the main brain of the biochip built before Chu Jungui left, and the computing power is equivalent to two generations.

However, these are not insurmountable, what is really fatal is Chu Jungui and Lin Xi's farewell. Everyone in the base thinks that they have been abandoned, they have lost hope, and they have lost the motivation to live. Most people live numbly, waiting for the day when they die and decay.

On this hellish planet 4, the ultimate fate of such a base must be to be overwhelmed by the tide of beasts. Whenever the beast tide hits, they instinctively resist, of course it is good to be able to block it, but if they can't stop it, it is just that the judgment day has come early.

Putting down the report, Chu Jungui's gaze swept over the people in the conference room. They were all in a similar state to the walking dead at the moment, and the return of Chu Jungui brought a brief period of hope, and then they were habitually silent again.

Chu Jungui first looked at Roland, "How many people are there in the base now?"

Rowland hesitated, "2,200, no, 2,300." Well, it should be so much. ”

Chu Jungui interrupted him, "Go and figure out the exact numbers first before coming in!" I'll be waiting for you here." ”

Somewhat embarrassed, Rowland left the conference room without saying a word, and after a few moments, he returned to the conference room, this time bringing the exact number: "There are currently 2,271 people at the base, including 270 non-combatants, and 469 sick and wounded who have lost their combat ability. ”

So many people have been lost...... Chu Jun was heartbroken. Now the number of people in the base has dropped to a very dangerous level, and no matter how small it is, it will be difficult to resist the impact of the beast tide. And if there is a gap, with the current morale, it will immediately be a complete rout. So don't look at the fact that there are more than 2,000 people, maybe after one or two more beast tides, the whole army will be wiped out.

Chu Jungui looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "The last departure was completely accidental, we encountered an ambush by the Federation fleet. But I'm back! I'll be with you then, whether we're going to kill this goddamn galaxy or just take root here! Let's take down the goddamn beasts and the damn Federalists!"

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, although there is no response, but there is already a faint fire beating in the eyes.
