After picking up Chen Xin at the headquarters, Bob formed a combat formation with his team members and escorted Chen Xin toward the stronghold where they were stationed.
Different from the more casual approach when they came, on the way back, Bob and his team members consciously took on the task of protecting Chen Xin, an important figure.
Although in Bob's opinion, the group of soldiers following Chen Xin with more advanced equipment than theirs were enough to protect Chen Xin's safety, Bob did not forget that they needed to please the big shot Chen Xin.
Therefore, Bob very conscientiously set up the battle formation used by the important guards in accordance with the instructions, and strictly followed the instructions in the instructions to perform the task of protecting Chen Xin, and guided Chen Xin and his guards towards the stronghold.
Compared with the previous trip, Bob undoubtedly walked a little slower during this return trip, but they still returned to the stronghold very smoothly.
Along the way, Chen Xin felt happy as he watched Team Bob performing the drill requirements as if they were performing.
Although he also felt that Bob's so-called protection was really meaningless, he was still satisfied with Bob's serious attitude.
In fact, unless the front line of defense collapsed, it would be possible for alien creatures to cross the line of defense, escape the surveillance of the frigates and the Falcon Titans patrolling in the sky, and launch an attack on Chen Xin.
At the same time, it is necessary to break through the protection of a combat team equipped with power armor and a Titan team that has formed a combat formation around Chen Xin, so that it is possible to really hurt Chen Xin, who is under heavy protection.
Under the multiple security system, the protection of Bob's team has more symbolic significance than practical significance, which is to show that they value Chen Xin.
After entering the stronghold, the major, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly welcomed Chen Xin. He also formally asked the soldiers in the stronghold to line up to welcome Chen Xin's arrival.
This made Chen Xin somewhat uncomfortable. After going through a simple process, he asked the major to disperse the people.
Due to the space within the stronghold, only the power armor team followed Chen Xin into the stronghold, while the Titan team parked the machine outside the stronghold and deployed a protective formation.
Bob, who returned to the stronghold, did not disband his team, but still asked them to follow Chen Xin's team. At the same time, he and the major accompanied Chen Xin and followed him to inspect the stronghold.
The so-called inspection actually means wandering around, discovering some problems, and solving some problems.
Under normal circumstances, everything that Chen Xin could see during his inspection should have been arranged by the major in advance and prepared for what he wanted to see.
But before arriving, Chen Xin did not notify him in advance, which undoubtedly gave the major no time to prepare. The time was only enough for them to clean up the stronghold briefly, so as not to make it look too messy and make Chen Xin feel dissatisfied.
However, even after temporary cleaning up, the situation in this stronghold is not much better.
This stronghold is a permanent fortification built of steel and concrete. Although the defense is very strong, it is not very comfortable to live in.
In addition, a large number of soldiers live here, there is a lack of bathing conditions, and the ventilation conditions of the stronghold itself are also limited, so when Chen Xin walked into the soldiers' living area...
He had to put on his protective suit and helmet again.
"I'm sorry, sir, they are just some big soldiers and don't understand the rules. Please forgive me." Seeing Chen Xin put on his helmet again, this undoubtedly made the major feel embarrassed. At the same time, he was also a little worried that Chen Xin would be dissatisfied, so he hurriedly asked He apologized.
The major himself was not wearing a helmet, so of course he could smell the smell of sweat that had accumulated due to lack of ventilation and neglect of bathing for a long time, as well as the foot odor emitted by the soldiers roasting their feet for warmth. After fermenting together, it was indescribable. the taste of.
However, he himself has always lived here, and he has been in the abalone house for a long time without smelling the smell. After getting used to it, he felt that it was okay.
But obviously, Chen Xin couldn't stand the taste.
"Don't you have the conditions to take a bath? You should pay more attention to your personal hygiene, right?" Chen Xin was not angry, but just asked with concern.
While the major was explaining to Chen Xin at this time, he also did not forget to show off his merits: "I'm sorry, sir, although there are bathing facilities in the stronghold, the conditions are limited. Our soldiers can only take a bath about once a week. Everyone can take a bath every day." They all have to fight on the front line, so they are really sloppy."
"Forget it, it's not your fault. I will discuss it later with your superiors to see how to improve your living conditions." Chen Xin did not delve into this issue, but he also knew the quality of soldiers' living conditions. It has a great impact on their combat effectiveness, so he still plans to pay attention to this matter.
Aside from the somewhat unacceptable sanitary conditions, other problems within the stronghold were less serious.
Chen Xin turned around and felt satisfied with his inspection.
However, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he randomly found some soldiers in the stronghold and asked them some questions about life and their views on current weapons and equipment.
Most of the life problems reported by the soldiers were in the two aspects of heating and fresh food. Regarding these two problems, Chen Xin already had some clues about how to solve them, so he did not go too in-depth on these two issues.
However, Chen Xin was very interested in the problems reported by these soldiers about weapons and equipment.
This stronghold has received a lot of equipment provided by the Yan Kingdom. The soldiers have basically used most of the equipment including electromagnetic rifles, exoskeletons and powered armor. In addition, it is here to resist the invasion of alien creatures. They are at the forefront, so soldiers also have their own opinions on these weapons and equipment.
"The electromagnetic rifle is indeed very useful, but the rate of fire is a bit too fast. Usually a magazine of thirty rounds is almost all fired when the trigger is pulled."
"The exoskeleton is very useful, but there are a few racks. More ammunition racks should be added to carry more ammunition."
"The power armor is very good in all aspects, but it leaks a bit. I hope to increase the warmth function and install other modules."
"When the frontline resists alien attacks, the main casualties are caused by flying units falling from the sky. The position needs an air defense weapon that can effectively resist aerial threats."
Chen Xin recorded the opinions of these soldiers one by one, intending to use them as reference.
After recording this, Chen Xin also looked at the major and asked him: "Can the forward position be seen from the stronghold? I want to see up close how the forward position is fought."
