Vol 3 Chapter 331: The Walking Dead

Seeing the fortress far away, Chu Jun returned to slow down and tried to contact the base. The original fortress defense was quite fierce, and if approached rashly, the possibility of being defeated as an enemy is very high.
The contact was very smooth. When Chu Jungui showed his identity, an exclamation sounded in the communication channel. Hearing this noisy voice, Chu Jun returned to his heart, at least that the base was still in his own hands.
The landing craft flew over the base and landed slowly on a clearing. Chu Jungui walked out of the landing boat, looked around, and his heart sank.
The original Doomsday Shadow Fortress has become dilapidated, and its appearance full of modern design is full of holes. Some buildings have become ruins directly, and large sections of the fortress wall have collapsed. Some gaps were filled hurriedly, while others simply ignored them, and a new low wall was built inside, which greatly reduced the actual control area of ​​the base and shortened the defense line accordingly.
The only thing that was added was three towers, which were equipped with weapons stations, which served both defense and alert functions. Except for the three sentry towers, when you look around, there is mess and rundown everywhere. Most of the soldiers who appeared around the landing craft were broken and listless.
Chu Jun looked around for a week and saw all familiar faces, but he looked unfamiliar. He still remembers the thriving base when he left, why is it so bad now? Not long!
One hurriedly came, until he stood before Chu Jungui tentatively asked: "Le Mans?"
The man smiled bitterly. "It's me. Boss, why are you back?"
"You're really Le Mans!" The subject scanned the other person's bone type, and he was sure.
Compared with the original, Le Mans at this moment was tens of pounds thinner, his eyes were deeply sunken, and two large bags under his dark circles looked like a teenager. The only constant is that his bald head is still shiny.
Then one after another appeared and came to the square. Most of these people are slow to move, their eyes are lifeless, and until they see Chu Jungui, some of them are surprised.
Chu Jun went back one by one, "Roland, Duke, Croma, Terry ... Where's Wilson?"
Roland's hair even turned pale, saying, "The general is ill and has been ill. You will be back in time, and you can see him again."
"Sick?" Chu Jungui was very surprised.
"Yes, a weird disease. None of our current medicines work."
"Take me to see, and send someone to remove all supplies from the spacecraft."
After a while, Chu Jun returned to Wilson's ward.
The ward was extremely dark and airtight. Wilson and several other patients were lying on the bed wearing breathing masks, motionless, and looked like a dead body.
Chu Jungui looked up at the dim lamp above his head, then came to Wilson and scanned it with his personal terminal.
Le Mans followed, whispering, "The general was bitten by a strange beast, but he failed to heal. Later, he was infected with multiple infections. We don't have enough special medicines, so the situation is getting worse."
Chu Jungui looked at the scan results and frowned, "It's a bacterial infection. What about medicine?"
Le Mans showed bitterness, "In the second week after you leave, we have run out of medicine reserves. Now we are relying on some primary medicines that can be produced by ourselves. If these medicines are not effective, we can only wait for death."
Chu Jungui said immediately: "My spaceship has two medical cabins and some medicines. They all moved over and were treated immediately. In addition, all senior officers were convened and the meeting was held in 15 minutes. Before the meeting, I want all major events during this time. Report."
Roland made a military salute and said, "Yes, general!"
Chu Jungui glanced at him and said, "I have a new military rank now, and I'll call him by military rank. Don't call me a general again."
"Okay, what's your new rank? Colonel?"
"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 were excited, others were doubtful and confused.
Chu Jungui is reading the report just sent, and his face is very ugly.
Since their departure, the base has experienced multiple rounds of beast tide, and federal forces have also had an attack. Under repeated impacts, the base suffered heavy losses. If there were no open days, the impact of the beast tide was obviously suppressed, and the entire base would have fallen long ago.
Chu Jun returned, and the technology of the base immediately came to a standstill. Many projects under development were either stranded or progress was extremely slow. Until this time, Chu Jungui's core role in the development of the base was completely reflected.
Although the federal attack was disintegrated by subsequent beast waves, the electromagnetic bombs they threw destroyed the main brain of the base. 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, the real fatal, or Chu Jungui and Lin Xi left without saying goodbye. Everyone in the base thinks they have been abandoned. They lose hope and lose the motivation to live. Most people live numbly, waiting for the day of death and decay.
On this nasty planet 4, the ultimate fate of such a base must be drowned by the beast tide. Whenever a tide of beasts strikes, they are instinctively resisting. Of course, it is better to block it. Unstoppable is just the advent of judgment day.
Putting down the report, Chu Jungui's eyes swept across the people in the conference room. Their status at this moment is similar to the walking dead, Chu Jungui's return brings short-term hope, and then they are habitually silent.
Chu Jungui first looked at Roland, "How many people are still in the base?"
Roland was hesitant, "2200, no, 2300 people ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Well, there should be so many."
Chu Jungui interrupted him, "Go and find out the exact numbers before coming in! I'll wait for you here."
Roland was a little embarrassed and left the conference room without a word. After a moment, he returned to the conference room. This time brought precise numbers: "At present, there are 2,271 people on the base, including 270 non-combatants, and they have lost combat capabilities. There are 469 sick and wounded. "
So many people were lost ... Chu Jun returned to a heavy heart. Now the number of people in the base has dropped to a very dangerous level, no matter how few, it is difficult to resist the impact of the beast tide. And once there is a gap, the current morale will immediately be a complete defeat. So don't look at more than 2,000 people, maybe another army or two will be wiped out.
Chu Jungui looked at the crowd, and Shen Sheng said: "The last departure was completely accidental. We encountered the ambush of the federal fleet. However, I am still coming back! Whether we kill this galaxy or just It's taking root here, and I'll be with you! Let's go through those beasts and Unions! "
Everyone you look at me, I look at you, although there is no response, but there is already a faint flame beating in your eyes.
