In the valley, a black shadow summoned a thorn-backed beast. It focused its eyes on the thorn-backed beast, pulled out a thorn, and then stabbed the metal fragment.
With a clang, the thorns bounced away, leaving the metal fragment unscathed.
The shadow summoned several more lizard beasts and made them spit acid continuously. However, after being soaked in the acid for a full ten minutes, the metal fragments still remained in their original shape, with no traces of corrosion visible.
The shadow thought for a moment, and then said: "Digestion... takes ten... dawns."
"completely?"
"Need... don't know..."
The eyes of the black figure in the center flickered, and after thinking for a moment, more than a hundred eyes stared at the metal fragment at the same time. Its eyes converged together and turned into a light blue beam, which actually slowly cut the piece of metal.
The central black shadow split the metal fragment into two, threw one half to the remaining largest black shadow, and said: "Complete."
The black shadow swallowed the remaining fragments.
The black shadow in the center threw the remaining fragments to the black shadow that spat out, and said: "Quickest."
The black shadow also swallowed the fragments.
Then the central black shadow projected an image of the Doomsday Shadow Fortress, and you could clearly see the attack and defense process of the beast tide and the federal soldiers. The shadows watched the entire battle in silence, and the central shadow returned the image to a certain part, shining a few beams of eyes on the umbrella-type anti-aircraft missile that had just taken off.
"The essential."
The eyes of the other three black figures were floating, and they were obviously thinking seriously. Finally, one of the black figures said: "It can... be solved."
The image dispersed, and a smaller black shadow projected three more images, one of which was the No. 2 base of Lin Xi and Chu Jungui, and the other two were the newly established survival bases. There is a distinctive pirate flag marking on the base gate. Judging from the scale, there are already thousands of soldiers in each of the two bases. In comparison, Base No. 2 seemed extremely shabby and thin, with few people talking about it and even the walls were not repaired.
The black shadow in the center glanced around, circled the two pirate flag bases, and said: "Destroy!"
However, the other three groups of black shadows all looked towards Base 2, feeling that the central black shadow seemed to be missing something.
"Raise." The black shadow in the center always spoke simply and with a horrified meaning.
Silence fell in the valley again, and the shadows seemed to be tired. Many eyes disappeared into their bodies one after another, leaving only a few eyes staring at the surroundings, and a few specifically looking at the sky and the mouth of the valley.
At Base 2, Lin Xi still didn’t know that he had just become the subject of discussion among the beasts. She summoned all her brains to the conference room, projected a map of the area around the base, and said: "I just thought about what we are most afraid of now. And the conclusion is simple, we are most afraid of the beast tide getting faster. In other words, we More reaction time is needed to allow our warriors who are collecting resources outside to come back, and also to allow those who are resting and researching in the base to return to combat duties."
Everyone nodded, this is correct.
Lin Xi took in the reactions of the people around him and said, "So, we need to expand the scope of reconnaissance and early warning. The last reconnaissance plane designed by Hathaway was very effective. I improved it slightly, The parameters are all in the design drawing. Do you have any ideas for improvement?"
The design drawing released by Lin Xi is also in the shape of a missile, but it is much smaller and the range is reduced to 300 kilometers.
"This kind of reconnaissance... aircraft can maintain daily patrols within a range of 100 kilometers. It still uses energy batteries as its power source. After recycling, we only need to replace the batteries."
The new reconnaissance aircraft can effectively expand the security scope of the entire base, and everyone has no objection to investing resources.
After everyone ended the meeting, Hathaway did not leave immediately, but waved to Lin Xi. So Lin Xi also stayed and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Hathaway said: "It's been so long and you still haven't contacted the Special Operations Office?"
Lin Xi felt a little scared and said calmly: "Any advice?"
"I don't dare to give you advice, but according to my judgment, I'm afraid you won't be able to expect support from the Special Operations Division within half a year."
Lin Xi smiled slightly and said, "Do you think we need support from the Special Operations Department now?"
Hathaway smoothed her messy hair on her forehead and said calmly: "We all know what support means, and I think you also know that the ion storm layer cannot stop the Federation forever. In fact, before I landed, the Federation specifically targeted No. 4 The study of the planetary environment landing ship has been completed. Now it is very likely that the newly built transport ship has flown out of the dock. Perhaps I am being a little conservative."
Lin Xi waited calmly for the next step.
Hathaway did not show off and said directly: "Fighting side by side these days, your genius has been fully demonstrated. People like you should not die here, and of course I don't want to die. So, do you want to join the Federation?"
"No." Lin Xi refused without any hesitation.
Hathaway sighed and said: "Do you still have hope for the Special Operations Office? Chitong is just a speculator, and there is no loyalty in his heart at all. Do you expect him to let his mobile base go for you? Take any risks? That’s impossible.”
Lin Xi looked at Hathaway calmly. In the end, the little princess could only sigh and turn around to leave. Before going out, she turned back and said, "I don't want to die yet."
"Me too."
When Hathaway left, a shadow appeared on Lin Xi's face. She looked at the time and saw that there were still 31 hours until all construction vehicles and new production equipment were completed.
It's a long 31 hours, during which time anything can happen. And if you calculate it carefully, it’s more than 31 hours. New production capacity must be used to make up for the three-day production gap. Only then will Lin Xi's gamble be considered successful.
"Will it succeed this time?" Lin Xi actually took out a dice from his pocket, blew on it, then closed his eyes and threw it.
After a while, Lin Xi dared to open her eyes.
The side of the die that faces up is a red dot.
Lin Xi was startled and then remembered that he seemed to have forgotten to set whether one point was considered a success or six points was considered a success.
In the outer space of Planet 4, hundreds of starships are floating quietly, facing the fleet on the other side of the planet.
On the upper level of the bridge command hall of the central flagship, a tall and slender man was standing on the platform, overlooking the giant star map in the center of the hall.
Around him, there were more than a dozen large and small virtual screens suspended, some of which were images, and some of which were constantly scrolling data.
At this time, a piece of news caught his attention. He raised his slightly dull eyebrows and asked, "Another patrol is missing?"
A cute little girl appeared next to him and said: "An R-class patrol boat failed to send back the contact signal on time. It is judged that it has been destroyed."
"What ship is this?"
"The third ship, my lord."
"Only the third ship..." The man sneered slightly and ordered: "Increase the frequency and density of patrols. I want to see how long Lu Jingtian can hide for."
