"Is this true? Oh my god, the Yorton alien army has reached the Holly Forest. Those rude and dirty beasts?"
After hearing Rainer's report, Lieutenant Colonel Ned looked astonished like a girl who saw a man's body for the first time, except that he didn't scream. The lieutenant colonel showed extreme anxiety. He walked back and forth in his not spacious office, braving his veined hands and constantly rubbing the corners of his clothes, as if he could not make up his mind.
Reina wondered how the Federation would send such a useless supervisor to Kaiyan Base, but think about it in the past, Kaiyan Base was a snow crystal transfer station. There are very few chances of being threatened by war, and there are not many combat personnel deployed on the base, so it is indeed not necessary to have a real strong man in charge. Ned's own strength is even more mediocre, and he barely sat on the chair of lieutenant colonel.
It is normal for such a person to be at a loss when he hears that the base may become a target of alien strikes.
Reina asked: "How many people can fight at Kaiyan Base, and how do we deploy defensive firepower?"
He asked a series of questions. Lieutenant Colonel Ned is not a decisive person, but he knows the base well. When the next one answered Reina's question, the conventional force deployed at Kaiyan base was only 500, and the total number of civilian personnel in other administrative, maintenance, and logistics systems was only 600 or 700. The defense system of the base is mainly an array of intelligent multi-purpose turrets. This kind of turrets that are controlled by the brain and can automatically capture and correct ballistics are more than enough to resist the attacks of the planet's natives. But they can't talk about heavy firepower. Although there are still two missile silos in the base, the inventory in the warehouse is limited.
As for other weapons and ammunition, they can only be used to maintain daily consumption. In the event of a strong attack by the Catu or Gly giant army, how long the Kaiyan base can be held is indeed a question.
"Listening to Lieutenant Colonel Ned, I believe that the army we killed should be the enemy's forward. We don’t know how many people are in the opponent’s main force, so you need to report this situation to the staff headquarters. We are very You may need support. You can also post some combat missions, such as reconnaissance of the enemy. I think the Ries team would be happy to accept such missions. Another example is some missions to assist the base, bringing back all hunting groups that perform missions outside. The military department probably won’t be stingy with awarding military merits to those who assist combatants, right?"
Lieutenant Colonel Ned said hurriedly: "Of course, there is also a rule in my superiors' order to change the task content according to the actual situation. This is within my authority and does not even need to be approved by the military."
"That's it, what are you waiting for, act quickly."
Ned immediately called the adjutant and asked him to notify all the personnel who were on the mission to return, and at the same time issue emergency missions, which included appointments such as reconnaissance and combat. Reina had work to do, and just about to leave the office, he suddenly felt dizzy, and then found that the building and the lighting were constantly shaking, and the frequency became more and more intense.
Earthquake?
This was the first thought he could think of. Reina held on to the door frame and watched the office windows shattered in the violent earthquake. The cold wind with snow powder immediately poured in, and some documents on Ned's desk that had not been put away in time flew all over the floor. Then the chairs and tables were shifted, the cabinets fell over, and there were thin cracks in the ground base. Fortunately, the situation did not continue to deteriorate. After the shaking lasted for more than ten seconds, it finally stopped, but the entire base was in a mess.
"Is this an earthquake?" Renner frowned. He didn't know much about Rin Frost, and he didn't dare to make an assertion.
Ned supported the wall and stood up, and said with a look of confusion: "It should not be wrong. But Rin Shuang has almost no volcanoes, especially in the area of Wintergreen Forest. I have been here for ten years and have not encountered it. Earthquake."
"Forget it, leave it alone. Keep doing our job." Reina didn't pay attention to natural movement. Even without volcanoes, it is not surprising that planets occasionally show crustal movements.
As far as the surface is concerned, this shaking only brings some headaches to the creatures on the surface. The Kaiyan base did not suffer too much, and the scale of the base was small, but the construction standards fully met the requirements of military architecture. Not to mention this level of vibration, even if it is stronger than a few levels, it may not be able to shake this base. The damage caused by the earthquake, at best, shattered a window, light fixture, overturned chairs and tables, and a few unlucky ghosts suffered serious injuries.
But in terms of underground, the damage caused by vibration is disastrous.
Alan experienced this firsthand.
The tide of beasts advances into the depths of the earth, and Alan and Catherine launch another chase on the bodies of many alien beasts. It's just that they didn't chase for a long time, and the two and the beast tide crashed into this strong underground earthquake together. The cave maze is like a linen cloth clenched by a big hand and kneaded into a ball, countless branches are gathered and squeezed, and the beasts that have not had time to escape the collapsed passage are crushed into flesh by the irreversible force.
The earth uttered a scream of horror, rocks poured out, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
In this situation, even Catherine can no longer pursue Alan, so she can only protect herself. The mountain walls on both sides kept squeezing toward the middle, and the big stalagmites fell from the top of the head, and their sharp tips nailed a beast that ran underneath. The ground is like an esophagus that is violently squirming. They are not only rugged, but also up and down. From time to time, a herd of beasts was thrown out, and most of them fell into cracks in the ground and reached the abyss below which was constantly blowing the Foehn wind.
The situation before him is chaotic, Allen can only concentrate all his energy, even Catherine's threats are forgotten. He kept moving between the herd of beasts and the rocks, using his blood to cut open the oncoming obstacles one by one, in order to open up a difficult way of life. I don't know how long it took, maybe ten seconds, and it was as long as a century. The shaking finally stopped, but the chaos continued.
Alan even threw the alien beast to the ground. If he didn't climb onto the body of the other alien beast in time, he would be trampled into meat sauce in an instant. On the way, there were already many seemingly strong beasts, but when they stumbled and fell, they stepped on the flesh and left a very deep impression on Allen.
He doesn't want to become a piece of meat.
Avoided a stalagmite falling from the sky, the screams of wild beasts and screams of lurking monsters suddenly sounded in front of them. Allen felt the danger instinctively, this feeling just came from his heart, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He and the herd rushed out of a passage, but the exit of this passage was not flat, but void. On the body of a strange beast, Alan already clearly felt the feeling of falling.
The earth dragon under him was scratching all four claws, but fell helplessly below the void. Alan stomped on both feet, causing the earth dragon to accelerate and fall, and the scream made a long and stern sound, and the earth dragon had already blinked. Allen took advantage of his strength to pounce on the cliff, and the **** hidden reinserted into the cliff, and finally stopped after sliding down a few meters. When he turned his head, what he saw was a hellish scene.
