After a brief fight to adjust, Chu Jungui and Lin Xi remained silent and concentrated on their own affairs. The attack just now was so thrilling that even the test subjects were shocked. At this moment, the two of them were competing for time with the alien beasts. They had to establish a basic defense before their second wave of offensive. Otherwise, without fortifications to rely on, two more Chu Jungui would have to die.
Lin Xi set up the manufacturing machine, turned on the power source, and first made a multifunctional tool knife. As soon as he got the utility knife, Chu Jungui went straight to the woods and came back ten minutes later with a bundle of cut wood.
When he came back, Lin Xi had already made the head of a multi-functional shovel. Chu Jungui cut out a wooden handle and connected it, then walked to the planned construction site and started cleaning the ground.
This time was different from when Lin Xigang picked him up.
At that time, Chu Jungui just needed to build a place to shelter from the wind and rain. It should be well concealed and convenient. What we want to build this time is a fortification, a fortress, which must be strong enough and have a high level of defense. Therefore, Chu Jungui wanted to shovel away the floating soil on the ground to 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 parts one by one, preparing to build the base version of the manufacturing machine. This portable manufacturing machine is limited in what it can make, so it can only be used in the initial stages.
At this moment, in the distant deep space, the mobile base silently jumped out of the wormhole. Under the brilliant light, it can be seen that there are still many traces of battle on its shell, and there is a dozen or so missiles at the rear of the ship. The big hole in the rice has not had time to be repaired.
Chitong stood on the command podium, overlooking the entire command hall, his face so gloomy that he wanted to drip water.
Although there are hundreds of people in the command hall, it is extremely quiet. Everyone is immersed in the work at hand. Even those positions where speaking is necessary, all wear helmets.
A female adjutant quickly came to Chi Tong and said softly: "Sir, the enemy fleet has not followed up. It has been confirmed that the surrounding star field is safe."
Chitong chuckled and sneered: "A fully-staffed federal squadron is operating in Ophiuchus, but our intelligence department has no news at all! If this is the case, then what do we need 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 calculated. We have destroyed two Eagle-class starships of the opponent and severely damaged two. The structural damage of the base is 5.3%, and it is estimated that it will take 47 days to fully repair. .The damage report is being prepared and will be completed in half an hour."
Chitong was obviously impatient and shouted: "Don't say these are useless. A few Eagle-class ships, huh, even doubled, can they compare to those two little guys? How can I explain to the doctor now?"
"Didn't you already send Hongshu to Planet 4? He will find a way to bring those two people back."
Just as Chitong's face looked better, a communication request suddenly lit up on the command platform next to her, and then a file was sent over. When the adjutant saw the eye-catching red distress sign on the document, his expression changed drastically and he lost his voice: "Lord Hongshu's distress signal!?"
"open to take a look."
The adjutant opened the file, and a holographic image appeared in the center of the podium.
The image shows a valley, with a camp already built in the center and fully equipped. At first glance, it looks like an agent's standard temporary base on the planet's surface.
On the ridge in the distance, there is the remains of a huge landing ship stuck diagonally. It is more than ten times larger than Chu Jungui's ship, and the hull is relatively well preserved.
A road was even built from the wreckage to the camp to facilitate transportation.
But at this moment, there was thick smoke billowing in the camp, and dozens of soldiers were using bunkers to shoot desperately. The camp was surrounded by densely packed strange beasts, with more than a dozen species at a glance.
The alien beasts are like a tide, attacking the camp's defense circle in waves. Each wave of impact will reduce the defense circle by one layer. The number of soldiers participating in the defense in the camp decreased rapidly, and the defeat was imminent.
A desperate voice sounded on the screen: "You lied to me, damn, this is a trap! Our defense can no longer hold up, come and save me, I can pay any price! Come on, I can't hold on for long!"
A fire suddenly lit up in the center of the camp, and a survival capsule took off and flew into the sky.
This capsule is the agent's last resort when the planet's surface becomes unviable. It will fly high into the sky of the planet, enter or come close to orbiting the star, and float there. Members in the cabin will enter a state of cryogenic hibernation to prolong their survival time as much as possible and wait for rescue.
It's just that the environment on Planet 4 was unimaginably harsh. As soon as the capsule reached a high altitude, dozens of ball lightning suddenly flew out from the ion storm layer and directly hit the capsule, instantly turning it into ashes.
There was silence in front of the podium.
After a long time, the deputy official said, "Lord Hongshu, he must have died. What should we do now?"
Chitong remained silent for a moment, then slowly said: "The mangrove was originally a foreshadowing that we sent there in advance to ensure the safety of the two little guys, but we didn't expect it to fall so easily, and it didn't even last a few days. If even a fourth-level agent can’t gain a foothold there, how long do you think those two little guys can last?”
How dare the adjutant answer this question.
Chitong didn't expect to get an answer from her, so he exhaled heavily and said, "Even if they are dead, at least we must get the bodies back. The fourth-level agent cannot stand, and the third-level agent is probably very reluctant. Go. Check to see which secondary agents can be transferred recently!"
The adjutant immediately searched and then said: "There are two second-level agents who can be mobilized in the near future. One is Mr. Lu Jingtian and the other is Mr. Du Qifeng. Mr. Lu's deployment time is 5 months and Mr. Du is 9 months."
Chitong actually knew this result, and his face looked a little ugly. The so-called deployment time is the shortest time for them to arrive and land on Planet 4. There is no point in starting any earlier. The most important thing for high-level agents is their private army. Without bringing the troops over in an organized manner, even the first-level agents will be no different from the first-level agents.
But in the end Chitong still said: "Tell Lu Jingtian to come over."
The adjutant responded and asked again: "But even if Mr. Lu comes, he can't break through the blockade of the federal starship!"
Chi Tong said: "I have informed Fei Yan that she will come to join us."
The adjutant let out a low cry and lost his voice: "Is it Master Feiyan?"
Chitong nodded.
The adjutant said: "If that's the case, that would be great. If you and Lord Feiyan join forces, we will definitely be able to drive away the federal fleet."
Chitong was not so happy, and said slowly: "If it doesn't work out, I can still call the Ninth Fleet to come over for support. However, it's best not to have this possibility."
The adjutant suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is Lord Feiyan's mobile base near us?"
"Of course not. It will be nine months before she arrives."
The adjutant was stunned for a moment. It was hard to say whether the bones of the two little guys would be left behind in 3 months, let alone 9 months.
