There was some spare food in the iron cabinet in the command room. Otto searched and found a few small tomatoes, synthetic meat jerky, and a bottle of wine that had been stored for an unknown number of years.
In this way, the general poured half a cup for everyone present and said in a deep voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, according to tradition, we should find a more appropriate place to discuss the details of the battle.
But both the conditions in the military camp and the current situation dictate that everything must be kept simple. "
"It's nothing. In this situation, who cares about foreign things?" Luo Yi played the role of the leader very well, took a sip of the slightly spoiled red wine, and said: "Can you talk about the Zerg? We Need information."
“The more comprehensive the better, whether it’s recently collected or historical records dating back two thousand years.”
After speaking, Will drank the spoiled red wine in one gulp. No matter what was in the glass, even if it was a highly toxic substance, it could not make the Dragonborn feel uncomfortable.
As for Lu Li and Xilin, they always played transparent roles.
"certainly."
On the side, the adjutant distributed the information that Otto had prepared in advance.
In about ten minutes, after everyone who had just arrived read it quickly, Luo Yi said, "I have a hunch that if we don't take countermeasures, they will be the first to launch an attack."
"Premonition?"
An officer shrugged, "Rather than being so optimistic, it's better to be realistic. A large-scale attack will come in a month at the latest."
"Although there is no conclusive evidence, I can deduce their thinking mode and constantly launch tests. When their patience is exhausted or they get the desired information, they will launch a long-planned general attack."
"During the first raid, the camp lost a large number of elites. Now with low morale and a severe shortage of equipment, it will be difficult to withstand the next Zerg offensive."
Lu Li understood what it meant. The defenders now had a dispensable attitude towards the first part of the plan. It was not that they didn't pay attention to it, but they had subconsciously prepared for the worst, hoping to get more support. Just bear the blow that may come at any time.
Will felt disgusted by these words, "Gentlemen, with our arrival, the outpost will become extremely strong..."
Otto glanced at the young man and pretended not to hear.
The one who broke free?
Luo Yi and Lu Li's personal information is well protected, but unlike Will, heirs to other conglomerates, they don't like to keep a low profile. After all, family power is their biggest backer.
Because of this, as long as you collect news from the financial sector, you can know that this group of young people have broken free of their genetic locks.
But...what role can it play in the face of the Zerg army?
The general is not a savage with no knowledge. When the entire population is undergoing genetic enhancement, the spaceship transporting supplies also delivers medicine to the camp.
Among thousands of people, three people escaped.
Frankly speaking, this is a very high frequency and provides conditions for the military to conduct experiments.
The so-called gene lock is not as magical as rumored by the outside world.
In the past, warriors who could challenge three people in close combat could now challenge more than a dozen warriors after breaking free from the shackles.
At the same time, it has control that is accurate to millimeters and has the ability to react with foresight within milliseconds.
But it is limited to this. It can neither let people fly into the sky or escape from the earth, nor can it let people have endless power.
"You can take a look at this."
General Otto thought that Professor Taylor did not show the video data to these young people, so he waved his hand and motioned to the intelligence officer to play the battle that took place at the outpost six months ago.
"This heroic warrior was a Breaker who single-handedly killed ten basic Zerg."
The screen paused to show a full-body close-up of a muscular man.
"Of course, he is not unarmed. He is equipped with a new pulse rifle and an alloy steel knife."
With that said, Otto pressed the play button.
The next second, this brave Escaper warrior was trapped in a tight siege and was cut into four pieces by the wings of two leapers.
Although the general did not say it explicitly, everyone could understand the hint: on the frontal battlefield, no matter how high the personal force value is, it will not have a big effect.
Thinking further, does the general want to use this to exert pressure and seize the right to speak?
Before the war comes, it is not a good sign that there are multiple voices inside. Unification must be achieved.
It's a pity that Will and others are not escapees, but Dragonborn. Even if they cannot completely transform into dragons, they are strong enough to tear apart the Zerg [Warriors] alive.
The only shortcoming is the inability to use firearms proficiently, but this thing is not difficult. Furthermore, there is also an individual soldier auxiliary system. As long as the intelligence is good and the courage is not too timid, it is not difficult to go to the battlefield.
Therefore, Luo Yi pretended not to understand.
As a Dragonborn, he can easily disguise himself as a Breaker. In addition, once he takes off the mask and attacks with all his strength, even ten Breakers are not enough to kill.
Seeing that Will and others were unmoved, the general couldn't help but become suspicious.
It stands to reason that the arrogant breakaways should feel sad when they see their kind being surrounded and killed. Why are they not touched at all?
"The heirs of a big family don't take risks. Maybe you can find the answer on those airships. Don't rush to seize power yet. Let's take a look."
Otto muttered in his mind.
"General, can you take us to familiarize ourselves with the environment?"
At this time, Lu Li finally spoke.
Before the Zerg attack, they must at least have some idea of the front they accept.
At this moment, Lu Li already regarded the frontline outpost as something in his pocket and was only waiting for an opportunity.
"certainly."
The general had no reason to refuse, and immediately led everyone out of the command room, introducing various facilities encountered along the way.
There are metal passages and dense metal buildings. In fact, it is almost the same as being in a spaceship, except that the place is wider.
"Artificial sun."
"By adjusting the power, the cycle of day and night is simulated so that soldiers can have a good sleep after training."
Looking in the direction of Otto's finger, everyone saw a ball of light. Although it was dazzling, it was not impossible to look directly at.
"Besides simulating an environment suitable for human survival, what else does it do?" Miss Celine said calmly.
Conservation of energy.
A luminous object with such a high brightness must consume terrible energy. Unless the base stores so much energy that it cannot be used up, it must have another purpose.
"Self-destruct."
Otto felt that this was not a secret, and he did not expect that the other party would actually have the idea of seizing power. He said solemnly: "Once the base falls, the situation will be irreversible, and the energy that maintains this artificial sun will explode."
"In fact, this system existed before I took office. According to the most senior person in the barracks, this system has always existed just to wait for the enemy to come."
The spacecraft is equipped with a security team and is equipped with a self-destruct system.
These are common conventions, even if they seem unnecessary.
Perhaps, the group of humans who first established civilization in this galaxy had already anticipated such a day.
Lu Li suppressed his thoughts, looked away from the gradually dimming ball of light, and continued walking forward.
Area A: Headquarters, Intelligence Room, Coffee Room.
Area B: Rest area, logistics support area.
Area C: training area.
Area D: Security area.
In the shape of concentric circles, spreading outward.
Unfortunately, with such a dense layout, it still looks extremely empty.
Along the way, too many rooms and areas became vacant. You can imagine the grand occasion of the military camp back then. When it was full, there would probably be no less than 200,000 people.
"This is originally a military planet with no less than ten bases."
"Unfortunately, as time went by and the enemy was no longer visible, personnel began to lose, and the bases were closed one after another. Only this military camp and the satellite in the sky were left on the entire planet."
At this point, the general and the officers around him both had sinking faces.
In a giant metal coffin, slowly growing old, repeating the same life, with no hope in sight.
It's been like this for two thousand years...
"Is this the attack unit?"
Lu Li had no time to empathize with this group of people. He looked at and caressed the huge creature in front of him with an incomprehensible expression.
"Turbo laser cannon." The general also put his hand on it, as if caressing a lover, "The so-called technological development of weapons from two thousand years ago is actually reaching its peak."
"Those high-speed meteorites were locked and shattered by laser cannons before they entered the atmosphere."
“Our ability to persist until now is all thanks to them.”
Lu Li nodded. The general was a good guide and introduced him to the entire base.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"After a while, you don't have to worry anymore. The transport spaceship will take you to the rear." Lu Li said with a smile on his face and a sincere tone, "There will be real light, fresh food, and maybe you will meet a suitable girl... …”
For some reason, Otto felt a little bit bad in his heart, as if he was being plotted against.
…
At night, when the general opened his eyes, he still felt like he was dreaming.
Beneath him was a very hard metal bed, and he could see the ceiling when he looked up.
Since taking office, although my life has been very difficult and cannot be compared to what it was like when I was at the rear, no matter what, my residence is still relatively spacious.
But the space we are in now is very narrow, only about seven or eight square meters.
There is no independent toilet, only a tin bucket, a bed, a folding table, two lights hanging from the ceiling, and four finger-thick vents.
Seizing class and seizing power?
The general realized it later. He held his sore head and tried his best to recall the details, but he accidentally touched his neck. Instantly, he felt a stinging sensation.
"hiss……"
"Are you awake? Eat something."
The sound came from outside the door.
Through the small glass window, the general saw a handsome young man holding a dinner plate in his hand.
It seems that he is the heir to the New World Bank, what is his name... Dean?
"Natural steak, tomato juice, and boiled sterile eggs." Dean pushed the dinner plate in through the gap at the bottom of the iron door and said with a smile, "Mr. Lu specially ordered the chef to make it."
"In the coming period, all natural ingredients will be given priority to everyone."
"It just so happens that we are tired of eating natural food, so we can try synthetic food."
Even though he was restrained, there was still a bit of pride in his tone, which was the attitude of a winner.
After struggling mentally for a moment, Otto took the food. He wanted to curse the other person in the most vicious words, but this was the weakest way to fight back and would only make him look like a clown.
"What exactly do you want to do?" The general looked calm and asked while cutting the steak with a knife and fork, "How can I apologize to you?"
"As you said during the day, time is too tight. The Zerg army may arrive at any time. There is no time for us to scheming."
Dean did not conceal the admiration in his tone, "Mr. Lu resolved the crisis in the simplest way, leaving only one voice in the base."
"Mr. Lu?"
A figure appeared in General Otto's mind. He still couldn't believe that the handsome young man hidden in the crowd was the culprit.
This guy is the mastermind, so who does Luo Yi mean?
"Without my cooperation, the soldiers will not be loyal. The password to activate the turbolaser cannon..."
He was interrupted before he finished speaking.
"You don't have to worry about it." The smile on Dean's face continued, "The soldiers are very happy to fight for their future. As for the password, your adjutant has already told Mr. Lu."
The room fell into dead silence.
After a long time, footsteps sounded.
Dean left with an empty dinner plate. He did not lie to the general. The soldiers were very willing to be loyal to their new employer. During this period, there was no resistance.
Everything depends on money ability.
Talking about faith and fighting for all mankind was all nonsense. No matter how thick-skinned Lu Li was, he would not think that he could make these soldiers die for him by just shaking his body and making an impromptu speech.
"Within two months, a new fleet will arrive at the front line. During this period, those who perform well can receive a considerable sum of money and take a transport ship to the rear to enjoy the benefits."
"For those who are willing to stay, the reward will be doubled, and subsidies will be provided depending on the severity of the war."
As for those who were unwilling to cooperate, Lu Li did not say what would happen.
Kill the enemy for reward.
The eternal truth on the battlefield.
"Sir, the entire base is under control, and many key areas have been replaced by people we brought."
Celine cut off her long, obstructive hair and wore training clothes, looking particularly capable.
This made Lu Li very satisfied and felt that he should teach her something more.
but not now.
"What about the more cutting-edge military satellite?"
"Soldiers are withdrawing after receiving the order, and the security work will be handed over to robots and remote-controlled weapons."
Fully automatic missiles, sentry machine guns, and combat robots will form the first line of defense.
This was a battle plan planned in advance, and it was quickly implemented after no one stood in the way.
"Where's the support fleet? Have you made contact?"
Lu Li looked at Will who was sitting next to him.
The young man immediately entered the state, and the virtual projection of the interface appeared. He stretched out his hand and clicked a few times.
[Application for communication connection...]
【Authorization passed】
【connecting……】
Soon, a middle-aged man appeared on the light screen. His face was resolute and his temples were gray.
"Master, what's the matter?"
Will asked directly without being polite, "When can you arrive at the earliest? The frequency of Zerg tests is getting higher and higher, and they may launch an attack at any time."
"Fifteen...no, thirteen days." The fleet captain responded solemnly.
"It better be so."
After saying that, Will added meaningfully, "If I am unlucky and the Zerg attack is too fierce, I may not be able to go back."
"Please be sure to protect yourself and contact me immediately if you encounter danger." The fleet captain assured: "The main battle gun on the spacecraft can provide long-range fire support."
