"Department head, this is the name list of the people who entered the base today!" A second lieutenant from the logistics department passed a document to Lin Zhong-qing.
Lin Zhong-qing took the document and flipped through it. He frowned. "Did they pass the verification by the mainframe of the base?"
"These are the ones who passed. The ones who didn't pass are already under the control of the enforcers. At the same time, they were injected with the restriction agent," the second lieutenant replied.
Lin Zhong-qing felt lucky. Luckily, the mainframe of Base 013 had the information of all the bases on Planet Haijiao. That was why the spies from Hailiya didn't manage to sneak in and ensure the safety of Base 013.
(Little Four was very proud of himself. These were the results of his boss's orders when he was running around the bases of the Federation. Even the mainframe of the Federation might not be as accurate as his data. Little Four didn't say that he also had the data of all the bases of Hailiya in his database. He also knew which unit the spies came from. It was just that his boss didn't allow him to reveal too much. That was why he said that he didn't pass.)
However, Lin Zhong-qing wasn't worried about these spies. Instead, he was worried about …
Lin Zhong-qing picked up the document beside him again. It was the data of all the resources in the base. All of them were shown in red numbers. It was estimated that they could only last for two days. They could still wait for energy, weapons, and equipment. However, they couldn't wait for food and water anymore.
Lin Zhong-qing picked up the document and walked quickly to the battle command center. The moment he entered, he saw a busy scene.
The battle command center was located at the command center of the original base. However, the people who could enter this place were the commanders of the various clans and the higher-ups of the bases.
In the second week, Base 012, 014, and 015 around Base 013 couldn't defend against the crazy attacks of Hailiya. They had no choice but to give up their bases and retreat to Base 013, which was located in the center of the three bases. This meant that Base 013 became a lonely city.
At this time, many senior colonels and lieutenants were gathered in front of the four-dimensional combat virtual screen in the center of the command center. They were the ones who were on break today, but how could they rest in their own camps? They all ran to the command center to speculate about Hailiya's possible actions and attack methods, as well as how they should defend against these attacks.
Today, Han Jijun was in charge of the command post. These few days, he and Li Lanfeng had been taking turns to preside over the battle simulations, exchanging opinions with the various army commanders. Even though he and Li Lanfeng were taking turns to rest, he couldn't hide the fatigue on his face. After the soldiers from the three bases retreated to Base 013, the pressure on him and Li Lanfeng was like a mountain pressing down on them. This made Han Jijun, a rookie strategist who had just come into contact with war, feel so heavy that he almost couldn't breathe. He felt that he had reached his limit, but when he saw Li Lanfeng's relaxed expression, his heart burned like fire …
This feeling of being inferior to others made Han Jijun anxious, and he worked even harder to do well. But the more he tried, the more he felt that he was inferior to others. With this mentality, even if he took turns to rest, he wouldn't be able to rest well …
Han Jijun saw Han Jijun. Lin Zhong-qing pointed at Ling Lan's office and asked Han Jijun, "Is Boss inside?"
During this period of time, Boss had been running between the mecha hold and the command center to give orders. In the base, all the mecha operators who were ace operators and above would stay in the mecha hold to prepare for battle as long as they weren't on break. Thanks to these brave warriors, they were able to defeat Hailiya's probing attacks one after another, protecting Base 013 from being destroyed.
Han Jijun nodded at Lin Zhong-qing, indicating that Ling Lan was still in the office. He secretly raised three fingers, and Lin Zhong-qing knew that there were three outsiders in Boss's office.
Lin Zhong-qing walked into Ling Lan's office and saw four people sitting in the living room. Other than Boss, the other three were the commanding officers of Base 012, 014, and 015. They were smoking with a worried expression on their faces. They seemed to have no confidence that they would be able to survive the last week.
Lin Zhong-qing saluted and walked in front of Ling Lan. He passed the document in his hand to her. "Regiment commander, please take a look at this document."
Ling Lan opened the document and saw the numbers of food and water reserves. She understood what was going on.
She passed the document back to Lin Zhong-qing and said coldly, "It looks like our judgement is correct. Hailiya is indeed trying to use these defeated Federation soldiers to deplete our food and water reserves."
"Actually, in the second week, when they attacked our retreating logistical vehicles and stopped us from bringing our supplies back to Base 013, I already felt that this would happen." The commanding officer of Base 012 smiled bitterly.
"Also, the moment those defeated soldiers entered the defensive perimeter of Base 013, they stopped attacking them. Their intentions are too obvious." The commanding officer of Base 015 took a deep puff of his cigarette and said. However, even if they knew the enemy's plan, they had to accept it. They weren't cold-blooded enough to abandon their comrades.
"This Major Lin should have sent us the data on the logistical supplies. Is the situation very bad? How many more days can we last?" The commanding officer of Base 014 looked at Lin Zhong-qing. Lin Zhong-qing often reported to Ling Lan about logistical matters so they knew him.
"The most optimistic outcome is two days," Ling Lan said calmly.
"I think so too. Three days ago, the food distribution started to decrease. That's when I knew that the base wouldn't be able to last for a few more days." "Over the past few days, more and more soldiers from the Federation have been retreating into Base 013. The pressure on the logistics department is also getting heavier … We have reached the point where we have to go out to look for food. However, we are surrounded by enemies … Now, I'm afraid that every team that goes out will die. They are planning to trap us in Base 013 until we die. No wonder they have only been fighting on a small scale. They only surrounded us and didn't attack us." If they used the number of soldiers that attacked his base, Base 013 wouldn't be able to last for more than two to three days.
Ling Lan said calmly, "Not only that, Hailiya also wants to use Base 013 as bait …"
The three commanding officers looked at Ling Lan in confusion. They couldn't understand what Ling Lan meant.
"If these Federation soldiers continue to harass them in their territory, they will be in trouble too … Why don't we just let them go and let them retreat into Base 013? First, they can use up our supplies. Second, they can prevent future troubles!" Ling Lan knew that if these defeated Federation soldiers really scattered all over Planet Haijiao, Hailiya would need at least a few years to completely exterminate them.
