Chapter 2747 (((˙?˙ )The eve of the war
Today, the orbit of Canopy Star began to become crowded, so much so that the ships of the Terra Empire's advance team that were still entangled with the planet defense fleet in orbit a few days ago were forced to disappear early.
.
Because, under the haze of the upcoming war, the main base on the Huagai planet, that is, the mine base, was finally ordered to evacuate personnel. At the same time, there were dozens of personnel including the flagship Noxus.
A warship came to the orbit of the Huagai Star, so the Terran ships had to run away.
While those ships ran away in advance, it was said that even Abaddon and his troops, who were fighting a bloody battle with the greenskins on the ground and had already fired real fire, had shrunk to the point where they occupied and
The fortress that has been operating for many days seems to be mentally prepared for the worst case of being attacked by the Huagai Star fleet at any time.
But surprisingly, the dozens of battlecruisers on Huagai Star, including the flagship Noxus, did not take the initiative to ignore or bombard them.
Those battleships just floated on the track indifferently, looking so spectacular that they blocked the sky and the sun!
But they did nothing except being busy covering and presiding over the evacuation work. They did not even conduct orbital strikes on the fallen areas and gathering areas where the subspace demons were entrenched to relieve some of the frontline garrison regiments.
The meaning of pressure.
Anyway!
This is the situation. During this whole day, the sky of Huagai Star no longer has the tranquility and depth of the past. Instead, it is filled with the flight trajectories of various large and small transport ships and large and small shuttle boats.
The horizontal and vertical white water vapor trail crystals even faintly formed a dense picture like a fishing net.
Like other places on the planet, the evacuation of the mine base is also being carried out nervously and orderly.
At this time, countless scientific researchers were busy organizing equipment, packing information and transporting certain important materials. Although there did not seem to be much signs of chaos in the huge steel base, there was still a nervous and nervous atmosphere in the air.
A solemn atmosphere.
That is inevitable, and this can be roughly seen from the serious and frowning expressions on the faces of every officer, soldier, or scientific researcher walking around in a hurry.
In the base, large and small transport ships are parked in open spaces or aprons. Logistics staff are waving tools to carefully load boxes of important equipment and data into the cabins, and those that are full or empty are
Shuttle boats are busy going back and forth over the base, transporting non-combat personnel to various bases, cities and fortresses on the planet for refuge, while some of the more important scientific researchers bring their research results and some unfinished
The experimental data embarked on a journey to the Noxus flagship.
Similarly, in the command center, senior officers were also busy carrying out the final work before evacuation.
Because they not only have to ensure their own safe evacuation, but are also responsible for the orderly conduct and coordination of the evacuation of the entire planet.
Therefore, it is inevitable that their busy figures shuttle around every corner of the command center, sometimes checking the progress, sometimes issuing orders, and sometimes communicating with all parties.
Of course, all this work is not to evacuate all the residents and troops on the planet. In fact, even if you want to evacuate the tens of billions of soldiers and civilians on the entire planet, it is absolutely impossible.
Not to mention anything else, just based on the mere 200 battleships that Huagai Star can currently command, even if that battlecruiser can carry 100,000 people, two hundred ships can transfer 20 million people in one round trip.
, but those 10 billion people would need to be transported back and forth at least hundreds of times. Counting the time for loading and transportation, I am afraid that it would not be possible to evacuate them all within a few years!
Moreover, the sector currently does not have a second life planet besides the Huagai Star, and even if there is time to evacuate, I am afraid there will be no place to resettle it.
Therefore, they just broke up some of the high-level officials in the mine base and evacuated them to various bases, cities and fortresses on the planet to take charge of command work, and at the same time, they also moved some personnel in non-combat positions, such as scientific researchers and those
The senior management in the most important command center and some of the soldiers' families were evacuated to the Noxus flagship and the relevant transfers were carried out.
After all, a war with the Terra Empire is about to start soon. In order to prevent the Terra Empire's fleet from taking over the mine base and high-level command as the main base, especially since the Terra Empire currently has an absolute
Advantage in the case of a cluster of battleships.
Therefore, it has become an inevitable choice to evacuate important personnel and disperse and transfer the command functions at all levels of the main base.
In this way, as the sun sets eastward, the evacuation work is still proceeding in an orderly manner.
I don't know how long it took, but when the evacuation of the mine base was coming to an end, Darius and others finally walked out of the command center gate with serious expressions, escorted by a group of senior staff officers and a group of guards.
That’s right!
As the mine base and the highest military and political officer of Huagai Star, Darius is also on the evacuation list.
He and a group of senior officers must return to his flagship Noxus to take charge of the command and dispatch of ground and space battles, because that is more flexible and safer than staying at the mine base, and it is also
It can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
"Well?"
"Hasn't the Führer come back yet?"
As soon as he walked out of the gate of the command center, before boarding the special large stealth transport ship, Darius saw the little white spacecraft next to the base command center that looked like a small white palace, and then
He couldn't help but asked the adjutant next to him with some confusion.
"Or……"
"You weren't notified?"
Because he still remembered that as early as two days ago, when the decision to evacuate the relevant personnel was made, they had sent people to notify their head of state to evacuate in advance as soon as possible.
But now, he, the last commander to evacuate, has finished handling all the affairs on the ground and is going back to the battleship, but their leader's ship, the Xiaobai, is still staying in place. Of course, how can he be asked to do so?
There are some things I can't understand.
"Sir!"
"All in all, it seems that the head of state has not been back for several days. We don't know where she is now or what she is doing."
"However, don't worry, we have already conveyed the relevant notice."
"When the head of state comes back, Mr. Xiaobai will definitely inform the head of state as soon as possible!"
The female adjutant Aaliya who was following him had obviously expected that Darius would ask such a question, so she immediately told everything she knew without thinking.
"oh?"
"How many days have you not been back?"
Hearing this, Darius couldn't help but be surprised.
"Is it possible..."
"Are you going to join those green-skinned orcs in besieging those Terran people?"
But he soon felt relieved.
Because, he remembered the recent situation where the Terra Empire's advance landing force was besieged by greenskins for several days and suffered heavy losses.
It is said that on the first day, their leader was with those green-skinned orcs?
Therefore, he would not be too surprised at all if their head of state went to instruct those cute greenskins to play with those Terrans in the past few days.
"Or did you go to the resource star?"
"Going to rescue Wang Qing and the others?"
Then, Darius couldn't help but start to speculate based on another report he learned.
He knew about the disappearance of their elite team, and then he instructed Officer Xia to reveal the matter to Gao Lanlan. Then he heard that the female pilot immediately ran to find the head of state, so he felt that it was not necessary.
Rule out that other possibility.
But considering the ability of his head of state, considering the fact that even if the world was destroyed, his head of state would still be fine, and considering the power of the Xiaobai spacecraft, Darius finally no longer hesitated, nor did he.
He was ready to wait, but directly waved his hand and ordered:
"do not care!"
"Since the notice has been received, let's do this for now. Let's set off first. We don't need to worry about the head of state's affairs."
"Walk!"
"Go back to the Noxus first, and I'll leave this place to you!"
So, with some of the remaining officers saluting and watching, he boarded the large stealth transport ship with his escorts and adjutants, and then slowly took off under the escort of several Viking fighter planes, became invisible and
After flying towards the sky for a while, it flashed away and activated the jump.
…
However, what Darius and others don't know is that their leader is not actually bullying the Terran advance troops who have landed on the planet with the greenskins, nor is he going to rescue Wang Qing and others!
Because, we are trapped in the resource star private mining industry with the tenth company commander of the sixteenth legion of the Terra Empire, the Luna Wolves, including Gavier Loken and more than a dozen Astartes space warriors.
Wang Qing and others in the company's underground base have not seen the appearance of a terrible little girl Head of State in the past few days.
Their entire team has been trapped in the safe house of Hong Yanrong's shelter for several days, and Gavier Loken, the tenth company commander of the Sixteenth Legion's Lunar Wolves, took the ten
It had been two full days since the defeated soldiers had fled in, and until the third day, which was today, they still had not received a rescue force from either side!
During this period, Gavir Loken and his dozen or so last Astartes Space Marines, except for the unlucky guy who had to be killed by him personally due to serious corruption at the beginning, the remaining few
None of the Space Marines who were also wounded and corrupted by Chaos energy survived.
Yes, not one!
Obviously, although I don't know what kind of tangled psychological process that Gavier Loken went through, the facts are obviously obvious now. He must have had to bear the pain and personally kill his infected brothers and sisters.
I chose the latter between 'compromising with reality and having to do something against my will to save my brother's life'!
However, whether it was Wang Qing and others or Gavier Loken and others, they both had a tacit understanding and did not mention it again.
In this regard, Wang Qing and others may just think that it is really just a small thing, and she just provides a way to save people, and they have always done that, so they may not feel anything.
.
The tenth company commander of the 16th Legion's Luna Wolves, Garvill Loken, and his subordinates kept it secret, as if they regarded that kind of thing as a taboo, and after confirming those few
After the infected brothers successfully resisted the corruption of Chaos and expressed their gratitude to Wang Qing and others, they never mentioned the matter again.
Anyway, although it is not clear what that kind of trivial matter means to Luoken and others, Wang Qing and others will not bother themselves by mentioning it because there are more important and urgent things waiting for them at the moment.
That is - breakout!
That’s right!
After a long wait with no results, after seeing no rescue coming, after getting Loken and his Astartes Space Marine subordinates to join, after those Nurgle corrupt demon monsters began to attack and take refuge frequently.
Behind the door of the safe house, Wang Qing and others felt that they could not sit still and wait for death. Feeling that the combined strength of both parties was almost enough, Wang Qing and others finally decided to break out.
Isn’t this?
At this time, in the safe house at the base of the underground mining company, where the atmosphere was somewhat depressing, the Astartes headed by Gavelloken were intensely discussing the breakout plan with Wang Qing and others, and he seemed to have no idea about Wang Qing.
The so-called 'best' retreat route proposed by others is somewhat unsatisfactory.
"..."
Sitting on the sofa, Loken frowned and stared at the holographic topographic map of the private mining company's base that Wang Qing and others released and marked for a long time. Finally, he thought about it again and again, and then shook his head in the negative:
"No……"
"no!"
"I think your plan is still too risky."
"If we continue to go deeper, no one can guarantee what we will encounter ahead."
"The key is that the surveillance inside has been destroyed. None of us can guarantee what kind of monsters or difficulties we will encounter by then!"
"On the contrary, if we return from the original route, although there are indeed many corrupt monsters along the way, at least they are known. We can all know how many monsters and problems there are."
"Although the process may be difficult, I think you can still get out if you work hard. At least, most people will have a chance to get out by then?"
Continuing to look at the holographic screens next to him, looking at the monitoring equipment that could still be mobilized and the real-time conditions, Loken finally insisted that returning the same way and breaking out from the direction of the gate was the safest solution.
Even if the plan is very dangerous, even if it is very likely that a considerable number of people will die in the process.
After all, people will always die in wars. He doesn't think there is anything wrong with that. No matter what, it is better than the uncertain plan and route the other party just mentioned!
"I still insist on taking the route from the main entrance!"
"Furthermore, I believe you all know that our Terran ships and troops have already set up a defense line outside the gate. When they hear the sound, they will probably rush in to support us. In that case, we can break out.
The possibility is even higher.”
“I still stick to the direction from the main entrance!”
Loken's voice was low and powerful, and he so firmly chose the route he thought was more correct, completely ignoring the frowns and ugly faces of Wang Qing and others.
"But!"
Wang Qing glanced at his captain, and after receiving the instruction, Wang Qing frowned slightly and began to argue:
"Captain Loken!"
"We understand your concerns and the reasons for your choice."
"But the secret escape passage provided by Boss Hong will be safer, closer, and has fewer variables!"
"Moreover, if we break out from there, it will be more sudden and less likely to be surrounded or ambushed by those Nurgle demons."
"You know it yourself, those disgusting monsters are not without intelligence!"
"On the contrary, they are very cunning!"
Now those monsters are starting to think of ways to slowly crack and corrupt the door. They even destroyed the lines and air ducts connecting the safe house to the outside, and then deployed heavy troops on the way out. Therefore, Wang Qing felt that it was just a matter of rushing out the same way.
It must be a stupid idea, especially when they still have the injured Lily and Hong Yanrong, an ordinary person with no fighting ability.
"Captain Loken."
"I can assure you that that passage is really secretive."
"I am the only one in the entire base who knows of its existence!"
"By the way, I still have a few aircraft there. We can evacuate along the secret passage faster when the time comes. Why don't you think about it?"
At this time, seeing that the two sides were arguing, Hong Yanrong thought for a while and stood up to persuade Luo Ken to compromise and change his mind.
"..."
When Loken heard this, his expression only changed slightly.
"No……"
But unfortunately, Loken had no intention of being swayed by this.
"Your plan is too risky."
"The deeper you go, the scarier the monsters become. You know this, right?"
"so……"
"I still think the safest choice is to break out from the direction of the gate."
"At least we have seen many situations along the way, and can carry out targeted tactical arrangements and preparation plans, so that the possibility of success will be greater!"
"You don't have to question it, I think my plan will be better."
Then, after hesitating again and again, he finally shook his head slightly and analyzed the pros and cons of the two routes in a deep voice, and finally came to the conclusion that his plan was better.
"you!!"
Seeing this and seeing how stubborn the other party was, Wang Qing couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
"Captain Loken, we don't mean to question your decision, we are just looking for a safer way to break out."
"After all, our goal is to survive, isn't it?"
"As you can see now, there will be a large number of monsters if you go back the way you came. The number is simply too terrifying, and many monitoring equipment have been destroyed. In some key places, we can't see anything at all, and we don't know where it is at all.
have what!"
"I don't think we can get out in that situation!"
"We cannot resist those terrible virus attacks. The shorter the route, the more sudden the action, and the more unexpected the monsters are, the safer we will be!"
"And heading inside the base, towards the secret passage that Boss Hong said, is our only way to survive!"
But anxious, Wang Qing still had to continue to persuade with facts and reasons. After all, time was tight now, and the other party and the dozen or so Astartes Space Marines under the other party were the decisive force, so they had to persuade them as soon as possible.
Only the other person can.
"..."
Loken thought seriously, but soon he continued to shake his head firmly:
"I understand what you are thinking, but I can't take any chances."
"They can be said to be the last soldiers of my company, and I have the responsibility to ensure the safety of each of them."
"I still think it's safer to break out from the front!"
"And my point of view is: My troops are outside the base. As long as we break through from the front, when we rush to the first level, we may get their support. In that way, our chances of escaping will be greater.
!”
In this way, the two sides with different opinions once again fell into a stalemate.
Wang Qing and others tried to persuade Loken with various reasons, but Loken was quite stubborn and always insisted on his own decision, and then in turn wanted to use facts to make Wang Qing and others change their minds.
then!
The two sides began to argue fiercely in the safe house, until the noise outside the door became louder and louder, until the metal door was slightly vibrated by the impact of the Nurgle monsters, but they still could not agree on the retreat route.
finally!
boom--!
Their argument was finally interrupted by bursts of rapid footsteps and chaos outside as there was an earthquake-shaking explosion and loud noise.
And when they immediately mobilized all the existing surveillance cameras through Hong Yanrong's authority to check the situation, they were shocked to discover: I don't know what happened, but with the explosion just now, those monsters all
They rushed towards the main entrance and quickly blocked the retreat route to the outside?
And that route, by coincidence, was the one that Loken insisted on choosing just now!
"!!"
"good!"
"I agree with your plan!"
Although he didn't know what happened, and no more abnormalities were found in the surveillance, after seeing those dense monsters crowding the passage he had insisted on just now, Loken's expression changed, and he was finally forced to agree with Wang Qing.
Suggestions from others.
After all, he is not stupid!
If it was still possible to escape the route he insisted on just now, then the current situation is absolutely impossible!
Therefore, between death and another route without knowing the specific situation, of course he had to choose the latter.
soon!
After making the decision, just a few minutes later, as more corrupt monsters rushed towards the direction of the explosion and noise, Wang Qing and the others, who were fully armed and ready, and the Astartes headed by Loken
The Space Marines cooperated and rushed out of the safe house.
Then, after killing a few monsters wandering outside, a group of more than 20 people escorted Hong Yanrong, who had no fighting ability, and Liu Li, who was unconscious and being carried by captain Awen, and headed deep into the base.
There was a secret passage somewhere that only Hong Yanrong knew and he rushed over.
Just like that, nearly half an hour or so passed...
"?!"
(ω)
When a troubled little girl finally drove her unparalleled car through the siege of those corrupt monsters and reached the door of the safe house alone, she only watched the empty and somewhat chaotic man go to the empty building.
Outside the secret room suite, nothing was found.
That’s right!
The person who came was Anne Bennie, who had just made a scene and caused countless corrupt monsters to rush toward her!
As for why she didn't come until today, it is not clear to outsiders for the time being.
"..."
()
"..."
(′～`●)
Anyway, she was just standing outside the door of the empty safe house and subconsciously looking at another passage that went deeper into the base, feeling dumbfounded for a moment.
"This is so good..."
(﹏)
"They finally remembered... and decided to come to rescue them, but why did they run away instead?"
(ω‖)
Yes, Anne felt very strange about this!
Originally, she should have taken action three days ago, but because she discovered some interesting things in this base at that time, she went to investigate, and it was only today that she suddenly remembered that there were still a few unlucky guys who were about to die.
He was dead, so he rushed over to prepare for the rescue.
But in the end, when she started to take action and fought all the way in, those idiots just ran away in the opposite direction as if they were running away?
"All right!"
ε=(ο｀*)))Alas
"Then go ahead!"
()
Although she felt a little unhappy in her heart, she had no choice but to do it. Now that she had come, Anne, who did not intend to go back empty-handed, had no choice but to chop off a corrupt creature that roared towards her with one sword and wanted to keep and pollute her.
The monster sighed and resolutely chased those fools in the direction they were fleeing.
After all, those idiots had been running for nearly half an hour. If she didn't hurry up, it wouldn't be easy for her to catch up with them.
