Of the 52,000 bases worldwide, 51,960 have fallen. All overseas bases near abandoned planets have been destroyed. Of the world's 600 million people, only a few hundred thousand remain.

The news shocked everyone; they couldn't believe their ears. A hush fell over the room, no one knowing how to react.

At noon, Junjue clenched his fists, while Shangguan Wan'er's eyes gleamed with determination. They knew there was no turning back; their only choice was to fight back.

"How could this happen? It's only been four months since the alien invasion!"

Of the more than 600 million people in the world, only a few hundred thousand remain?

"Except for Xiyue City, all other places in the country have fallen."

"If we don't provide support, the world will really perish."

"It was truly devastating!"

"We must take action; we cannot sit idly by and wait for our doom!" The Duke broke the silence, his voice filled with determination and resolve.

“Yes, now is not the time to back down!” Shangguan Wan’er also stood up, her head held high, her eyes full of determination.

The teammates nodded in agreement; they all understood that it was time to show their strength.

“We will split into groups and support each other,” Junjue proposed at noon. “Dongfang Ao and Yeyuan, you will arrange for robots to take planes to rescue the survivors in the occupied base.”

Su Ye and Yue Ying, you are responsible for gathering intelligence and analyzing the alien beasts' patterns of movement. Yue Chi and Chen Fan, you will go and locate and destroy the enemy's lair.

The teammates nodded in agreement.

They knew it was going to be a tough battle.

Humanity worldwide is facing near extinction, and they are the last hope. They must strive to save humanity, no matter the cost.

Junjue originally wanted to gather more people to eliminate the aliens, but he didn't expect to get this result.

The priority now is not to eliminate the alien beasts, but to rescue all the remaining sparks of the Dragon Kingdom.

[Ding—Congratulations, host, for triggering a hidden condition: rescuing one survivor to join the Fireseed Base. Each survivor will be rewarded with 100,000 points!]

The system is giving out points again. Even though Junjue has over 700 trillion points, every little bit helps!

Di Zhantian, Dongfang Ao, Yue Ying, Yue Chi, and Chen Fan stayed in my space first. Wan'er, Su Ye, and Ye Yuan followed me. We'll wait until we drive the armored vehicle to the rescue site and see how things go before releasing the others.

"Yes, Captain!"

Junjue quickly put all his teammates into his spatial storage, all his pets into his system space, and left several thousand robots to guard the base while taking the rest to provide support.

A dozen minutes later, when they arrived in the first city, F, in their armored vehicles, the sight before them made their hearts tighten.

The skyscrapers have been reduced to ruins, and the streets are filled with uneven craters, debris, and dust.

The bustling crowds of the past are gone forever, leaving only pits and grounds filled with disgusting alien beasts and the lonely wind howling by.

The Duke's lips were pressed tightly together, and his eyes revealed endless sorrow.

"System, are there any living people left in this city?"

[Completely annihilated!]

Upon hearing the system's words, Junjue's heart clenched, and his eyes reddened.

"It was too tragic." Wan'er asked Junjue in a low voice, her voice choked with emotion.

Junjue said with a wry smile, "Although everyone was on guard against this alien beast invasion, there were just too many of them and their strength was too terrifying."

They were incredibly cruel; they nearly destroyed the entire city. We must find the survivors as soon as possible and move them to safety.

"good!"

The team members nodded silently as they continued their journey in the armored vehicle, passing through J City, K City, N City, T City, S City, E City, R City, X City, and H City. All they saw and heard was chaos and death.

Every city and every underground base was breached by alien beasts.

Corpses littered the fields, blood flowed like rivers; the former prosperity and bustle were nowhere to be seen.

When they entered a bombed-out underground base, the scene before them was even more heartbreaking.

The once tightly closed door had been violently pushed open, without any sign of resistance. The corridor was littered with severed limbs, stained with blood, and shattered glass gleamed coldly.

"These alien beasts are despicable! They are so cunning and ferocious that they actually breached the underground base!" Ye Yuan said through gritted teeth.

The Duke clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with determination: "We can't just sit here and wait to die! We must find the survivors and rescue them!"

His teammates were also filled with anger and determination.

After a search, they finally found a few survivors in an abandoned basement, but they were on the verge of collapse.

"Are you a rescue team? Thank God, someone has finally come!" a survivor said, choking back tears.

"You've lost too much blood, so don't speak yet. We'll take you back to base."

"Thank you!" After expressing their gratitude, the survivors fainted.

They had endured fear and trembling for a long time, but now that they had met their kind, they were completely relaxed, and even when they fainted, their faces were filled with a relieved smile.

After Junjue finished speaking, he dispatched several robots to take the injured people back to the Mars base in armored vehicles.

Lord Jun led the robots to a safe area and then continued the search and rescue operation with the team.

Time ticked by, and rescue operations in all cities were in full swing, but the results were disheartening.

It has been more than a month. Lord Jun has been driving armored vehicles with several captains, stealthily passing through city after city, and they have found very few survivors.

Many more people have tragically perished, becoming prey for the alien beasts.

The nobleman felt as if his heart was being torn apart, and he clenched his fists in anguish, saying:

"How many years has it been? There are only a few hundred thousand people left in the world, and we've been out here for so long, yet we've only rescued a few thousand survivors!!"

“Back then, there were seven or eight billion people in the world! Now, that’s less than the population of a single city!” Shangguan Wan’er said, her voice choked with emotion.

"Captain, this thing is tens of millions of times larger than us. Can we really destroy it?" Su Ye asked uncertainly.

"Yes! It's so difficult to eliminate such a massive amount of hormones!" Ye Yuan said, his eyes reddening.

"I don't know either, I can only do my best!" Although the Duke had the system's help, he really didn't have much confidence in facing such a huge alien beast.

Upon hearing the captain's words, the group of people lowered their heads in disappointment and remained silent.

The Duke felt deeply distressed. So, despite all his preparations, he still couldn't change the fact that humanity had perished in the previous life?

No… he can’t accept it!

Even if all of humanity were to die, he would still live with Wan'er and the captain.

"Let's keep watching! We'll save as many people as we can in a month of rescue efforts!"

"We'll wipe out all the alien beasts in Xiyue Province in a month," Junjue said through gritted teeth.

"Yes, Captain!"

So the group continued their search in other places.

Every time Junjue arrived at a new location, he would ask the system if there were any survivors, in order to speed up the rescue process.
