Chapter 1300.
Inside the bar, it was packed to the brim with over three hundred people.
The survivors of base D01359 had all rushed over after getting the news that they could come.
Ever since the fall of Tempus three years ago, they had to hunker down in this small base, hoping day and night that the Empire would retake the planet.
However, day by day, everyone’s hope slowly faded away, and everyone was about to despair.
The wang dust that fell from the sky undoubtedly rekindled the fire of hope among the survivors.
The empire has recovered the Tampax star cluster, and the empire is trying to find a way to solve the energy radiation problem of Tampax star ……
These heavenly good news made everyone cry tears of joy, and many people hugged each other and even shouted slogans.
“Long live the Empire!”
In such an atmosphere, the barkeep took out the entire stock of alcohol and distributed it for everyone to enjoy.
But not many people appreciated it, and most of them glared at him angrily.
Some of them just yelled at him.
The bar owner who was treated like this didn’t dare to say anything back, and snapped and compensated with a smile, looking like a wimp.
But Wang Chen would not have the slightest sympathy for him.
Through the conversation with Lu Kui, Wang Chuan learned that as early as a year ago, the D01359 base had problems, and all kinds of equipment and facilities gradually failed under the influence of unknown energy.
As the base engineer, Lu Kui led the people to think of ways to utilize the tools and materials that were readily available, and came up with a set of rudimentary lighting and ventilation equipment, which barely maintained the most basic operation of this underground base.
I didn’t expect to take the bar owner and Iron Tiger’s group of people, relying on their several battle clerics, forcibly controlling the base and hijacking the reserve materials, and formulated a set of so-called rules.
Under the oppression of these guys, most of the people in the base lived a very difficult life, and were even forced to go to the surface to collect supplies in exchange for food and water.
Many people went to the surface and never came back.
Speaking of this, the bar owner couldn’t help but grumble, “It’s not that I don’t want to give everyone food, but this base’s stockpile of supplies is only one-tenth of the normal level, so if we don’t use it sparingly and distribute it rationally, we won’t be able to sustain it for several years at all.”
“Bah!”
Lu Kui spat a mouthful of spit at the other party, “You guys eat good food and drink good food every day, but how much quota do you give us? You still have to risk going to the ground to find supplies to exchange, do you want to be ashamed?”
The bar owner was speechless.
The people he relied on, such as Iron Tiger, had all been put under control and could no longer act as a bully.
Wang Dust frowned, “Is it true that there is only one-tenth of the supplies reserve?”
Lu Kui sighed, “It’s true, our base is still considered to be more than enough, I’ve contacted a few people from other bases, and the situation there is even worse, many warehouses are empty!”
This was not right.
Wang Dust immediately sensed something fishy.
With the Empire’s strength and technology level, since it had built up so many underground bases in Tampax Star, it was impossible that it would not be given enough stockpiles of supplies to ensure normal operation.
A person beside him sneered, “There’s nothing to be surprised about, Tampas Star’s pre-war rationing of supplies has always been supplied by the Wan Hai Group, it must be that they colluded with certain people to give it away for greed.”
Lu Kui burst out, “Shut up!”
This topic was too sensitive, even if everyone knew it by heart, saying it openly like this was definitely the way to death.
Wan Hai Group was a famous big group, its assets were counted in megabytes, crushing a few small people was not too easy.
That person also knows the advantages and disadvantages, resentfully closed his mouth.
Wang Dust smiled and said, “Let’s not talk about this for now, Mr. Lu, do you know how to get to the nearest base to here?”
“The closest is base B00785, it’s only about a hundred kilometers away from us here.”
Lu Kui replied without thinking, “Base B00785 was originally connected to our base with an underground passage, but it was destroyed two years ago and there was no way to reopen it.”
“But our people have had encounters with their hunters on the surface, and it is rumored that there are still tens of thousands of people surviving there at B00785.”
Base B00785 belonged to a large base, with a maximum capacity of 100,000 survivors, and the conditions were definitely much stronger than D01359.
Wang Dust couldn’t help but ask, “You guys haven’t thought about going to B00785 base?”
“How come I haven’t thought …… about it?”
Lu Kui laughed bitterly, “But we are not warcasters, and we can’t go through the underground passage, so we don’t have the certainty to go there by taking the surface.”
In fact, there were really people who left D01359 and ran to B00785, but these people walked up to a hundred kilometers on foot, whether they encountered mutated creatures or spectral clans, the outcome could be imagined.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, who would be willing to take such a great risk?
And was B00785 really better than D01359?
It was also something hard to say!
“Not good!”
It was at this time that a man rushed into the bar and shouted, “Our gate is under attack, it’s most likely a Psi Clan Hunter!”
Psi-clan Hunters!
The bar exploded, and many people huddled together in fear, while some tried to run outside.
For the survivors of Planet Tampax, the Psi Clan Hunters were definitely a nightmarish existence!
I didn’t expect that they would actually kill their way to the door today.
There were also people who, under fear, glared at Wang Chen with resentful eyes, clearly blaming it on him, an outsider.
“You guys keep an eye on these guys.”
Wang Dust took his own shotgun and handed it to Lu Kui, “Shoot whoever causes trouble, don’t be merciful.”
“I’ll deal with the Phantoms outside!”
He was still looking forward to meeting the Empire’s or humanity’s greatest enemy, but he didn’t expect the other side to take the initiative to come to his door.
Just as Lu Kui was confused, Wang Chen had already left the crowded bar and quickly rushed to the entrance of base D01359.
From quite a distance away, he had already heard the dull crash.
Only to see that the front of the steel shield door was empty, the other door guard didn’t know where he had run off to, and the thick protective door had suddenly appeared with a single bump, which was shocking to look at.
Fortunately, the material of the steel shield door was hard enough, and after the Psi-clan hunters outside had rushed it several times in a row to no avail, there was no more movement.
It seemed to have already withdrawn.
However, in Wang Chen’s perception, several spectral shadows were hovering outside, and the other party had no intention of giving up.
Boom!
In the next moment, accompanied by a deafening crash, the steel shield door was unexpectedly hardened with a large bump, and countless cracks appeared on its surface.
And the second wave of impact followed.
This time the steel shield door could no longer withstand it and was directly smashed open!
A hideous monster violently rushed in.
The Underworld Clan!
An indescribably evil aura greeted him, causing Wang Chen, who was guarding the back of the door, to be shaken and his gaze to become stern.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The large caliber shotgun he held in his hand immediately let out a roar.
And at the same time as he opened fire, Wang Dust also saw clearly the appearance of the incoming enemy – it matched perfectly with the Spectral Race Hunters in the profile!
