The survivors, rescued by the Hope Team and the robot team and brought back to the base, stood quietly at the base's main gate, covered in blood and looking extremely haggard.

Looking at the towering, thick defensive walls, which surround six mountains and a large base in the middle.

On the large towers atop the mountain peaks, rows of armed drones and fighter jets are stationed, with hundreds of drones and fighter jets flying out from time to time.

Then they unleashed a barrage of attacks outside the protective shield, causing the alien beasts on the ground and in the sky to scream in agony.

This scene made the group of survivors feel very safe.

They tried to recall the life-or-death struggle, the distant defensive walls and armed drones reminding them that those demonic alien beasts were still lurking outside.

Several survivors sat around a table, with a view of blood and fire visible through the window.

The alien beasts roared from outside the protective shield, and the sounds of constant bombardment sent chills down one's spine.

“We’re finally back at the base. This base is really powerful,” one of the survivors said nervously.

Another survivor clenched his fists, a determined glint in his eyes. "Yes, we're finally back. The Duke is our savior."

“He was truly a great leader, saving us from so far away,” an elderly survivor remarked. “Without the Lord, we would have been food for the aliens long ago.”

Another survivor sighed softly. "But our companions... they all died so tragically at the hands of those disgusting alien beasts."

“They gave their lives for our survival,” the elderly survivor said solemnly. “We must remember them and live on for them.”

The survivors nodded silently, their hearts filled with grief and anger. In this world overrun by alien beasts, every moment could be a matter of life and death.

Suddenly, a young female survivor saw what was happening outside and cried out excitedly, "Look! Someone's flying back!"

The survivors rushed to the windows and saw fighter jets slowly descending from the sky in the distance.

These fighter jets were recently deployed to their base, where many new personnel had just joined their ranks.

The pilot stepped out of the cockpit, his face resolute yet weary.

His flight suit was stained red with blood, but his eyes revealed an indomitable strength.

He walked up to the survivors and smiled at them.

"You're survivors from the base, aren't you?" the pilot asked. "I heard you went through a fierce battle."

“Yes, we miraculously survived,” the survivors replied in trembling voices.

The pilot looked at them, his eyes filled with emotion. "I was also among the previous survivors. I used to be a pilot at the Longhua Military Academy, but now I have neither country nor home."

If it weren't for the efforts of the commander of the Monarch Base, humanity would have been wiped out long ago.

You are brave warriors, do not lose heart. We will defeat these demons and restore peace to the earth.

The survivors were moved by these words, and a glimmer of hope flashed in their eyes. They realized that they were not alone, and that there were many more fearless people fighting for the same goal.

“We will join your fight,” the older survivor said firmly.

The other survivors also expressed their support, telling the pilot with their eyes that they were willing to risk everything and give everything for their homeland.

The pilot gazed at them for a long time, then smiled slightly. "Thank you for your support. With our joint efforts, we will definitely win this battle."

The survivors embraced each other, knowing their fates were now intertwined. To survive, they had to work together and fight for the future of the planet.

A surge of courage rose within them, and no matter what difficulties or demons they faced, they were determined not to back down and to fight for their survival.

………

Two months ago, Junjue and his teammates led a massive army of robots out on a rescue mission.

Two months later, they rescued more than 80,000 trapped survivors; this was their last effort.

Because the others, no matter how hard they tried, seemed to have sunk into endless darkness and become food for the alien beasts.

Their hearts were filled with endless grief and despair.

Finally, Lord and his teammates returned to the Fireseed Base.

However, when they saw that the base now only had more than 80,000 people left, they could not shake off that feeling of sorrow.

Before the invasion of natural disasters, zombies, and alien beasts, the Earth was inhabited by seven or eight billion people.

Ten years later, almost everyone had vanished into thin air.

This heartbreaking upheaval left them unable to find a single moment of joy.

Junjue and his teammates gathered together, exhausted, their faces filled with sorrow and helplessness.

This mission was so arduous, they went through countless battles and sacrifices, but the final result was still disheartening.

Di Zhantian silently surveyed his companions around him, his eyes revealing deep worry.

Shangguan Wan'er raised her head and looked at the distant sky, her eyes glistening with tears.

She felt empty and exhausted inside, and could hardly accept the changes in the world.

Ye Yuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke: "We once fought to save Blue Star, but now there are hardly any people left on Blue Star. Was our effort truly meaningful?"

Yue Ying's voice carried a hint of bitterness: "We may not be able to change reality, but we must persevere."

Despite the threat of extinction facing humanity, we still have a responsibility to protect the survivors. We cannot let hope die out completely.

The crowd fell silent, reflecting on the meaning of life and the existence of humanity.

A sense of unease spread among them, like a glimmer of desolate light in the endless darkness.

Yue Chi sighed, breaking the silence: "We cannot let this world sink into despair."

What we need to do is persevere; for those who are still waiting for our help, we must persevere.

Su Ye's eyes flashed with determination: "That's right! We can't stop here. Although the road ahead is extremely difficult, we are the last hope."

Let us use our remaining strength to bring a ray of light to those survivors struggling in the darkness.

These words rekindled the flame of hope in the hearts of the Duke and his teammates.

Despite the devastation they suffered, they were willing to continue fighting, battling to the last moment for the sake of survival.

They may not be able to change the status quo of the world, but they are willing to give everything for this last remaining hope.

On this sorrowful land, they are the last guardians, that lonely spark of life.
