What the visitor said was almost the same as what they said when they left.

Huo Yi groaned, "Wait a moment."

He returned to the house and told Jiang Ning about the situation. "There was only one person, who came out from Huacheng Base to search for Chinese survivors. He took off from a warship more than a hundred nautical miles away, and an accident occurred when the plane crossed the Arctic."

When we left, food was still scarce and the base was in a state of disrepair.

How long have you been away and you’re already out looking for survivors?

I wonder if they are looking for ordinary survivors or high-ranking military officials?

Jiang Ning couldn't help but think of Gu Tinglin. Has he arrived at the Huacheng base?

"Just let him stay for one night."

Fearing they might run into acquaintances, the two put on masks and scarves, wrapping themselves up so that only their eyes were exposed.

Huo Yishen opened the door, and Jiang Ning hid his weapon behind him.

The man was shivering with cold and his lips had turned purple, but he was indeed wearing an air force uniform from the eastern military base.

It was impossible to live in a container, so Huo Yishen took him to the igloo in the front yard and used crocodile dung to make a fire for heating.

The man squatted in front of the fire to keep warm and took off his mask. "Thank you, otherwise I would have frozen to death here tonight."

Jiang Ning sat down next to him, "Is it cold in Huacheng Base?"

"It's cold, but only about ten degrees below zero, and there's no ice on the sea."

The water in the enamel cup boiled and Huo Yishen handed it to him.

The man's name was Zhao Quan. He was in his thirties and had a weathered face, but he was not too thin.

There is a food factory in Hwaseong Base, which has solved the problem of venom glands of marine species, so getting enough food should no longer be a big problem.

Jiang Ning asked knowingly, "You live on the sea?"

Zhao Quan nodded. "The base has built more than a dozen large offshore residential platforms. Now they are reclaiming land and building islands. There is already a small piece of land, and it will get bigger and bigger in the future..."

He gave a brief introduction to the base, then curiously asked, "Why are you here in the Arctic?"

Jiang Ning smiled bitterly, "Our ship ran out of fuel and drifted along the ocean currents. Somehow we ended up at the North Pole."

Zhao Quan had no doubts. "From your accent, you seem to be from the south."

"Well, we are from Guangdong Province."

Zhao Quan was very happy to hear that they were from Guangdong Province. "There are many survivors in the base who are from the south."

"Is he a soldier or just an ordinary person?"

"Yes, there are more than 30,000 people in the base now."

Jiang Ning added crocodile dung to the fire. "Before the land sank, we lived in a military base in the south and went out to pick up scraps to support ourselves. One time, we were robbed by bandits on the road. If it weren't for the senior military leader passing by, we would have almost died."

She said something about the Southern military, then asked, "Are the top Southern military officials also at the base?"

“It seems like there are, but not many.”

Jiang Ning only described the shoulder strap pattern of the big leader. "I asked him his name, but he didn't tell me."

Zhao Quan analyzed: "The one who saved you should be the head of the southern military base."

Jiang Ning looked surprised, "I didn't expect his position to be so high."

Zhao Quan frowned slightly, "But he hasn't arrived yet, and the base has been looking for him."

One of the chiefs of China's five major military bases has been confirmed dead due to illness, and two chiefs have yet to be found.

The mission of this voyage, in addition to finding the senior teams of the two major bases, is to bring back ordinary survivors.

Jiang Ning was stunned. How come he hadn’t found it yet?

He is the head of the military base. Even if he is evacuated in the end, the escorting troops should be powerful.

Many survivors of the official base were able to survive, so how could he...

The firelight flickered, and Jiang Ning's entire body was dim and bright, and his face wrapped in the scarf could not be seen clearly.

Huo Yishen didn't say anything, but gently held her hand.

Zhao Quan drank the water and his frozen body gradually warmed up. "Can you repair airplanes?"

When crossing the Arctic, he saw a large ship on the ice shore with the five-star red flag on board.

This is a Chinese ship, there should be quite a few survivors.

Survivors from various countries gathered along the Arctic coast, and the living environment was too harsh. He had to fly back to the warship as soon as possible and ask the army to come and pick them up.

Neither of them knew how to respond to this.

He is in the Air Force and he can't even repair an airplane, so how could two people who burn crocodile dung for heating do that?

Zhao Quan also realized that he had lost his composure, "Sorry, I was too anxious."

He mentioned that there were many Chinese survivors stranded in the Arctic.

Jiang Ning frowned slightly, "You didn't go back on time, the warship should be here soon, right?"

This is what Zhao Quan was worried about.

"The North Pole is huge, there are no exact coordinates, and it's too difficult to find it along the coastline."

The land sank, there were no overseas ports for supplies, and the fuel, food and fresh water on board the warships were limited.

If they took too many detours, ran out of fuel or had other breakdowns, there was a good chance that even they wouldn’t be able to make it back.

In order to save time and fuel, planes fly across the Arctic.

More importantly, there were only 200 soldiers on the warship, and landing in the vast Arctic to search for survivors was fraught with danger.

Ten years after the natural disaster, many survivors have lost their humanity.

According to Zhao Quan's observation, there are at least several thousand survivors in the Arctic. When they see the Chinese survivors being taken away, they will most likely rush forward out of control. How long can the soldiers hold out?

For whatever reason, Zhao Quan did not want warships to land in the Arctic.

Jiang Ning felt uncomfortable, but he could only tell the truth, "Sorry, we don't know how to repair airplanes."

Zhao Quan thought for a moment, then inquired, "On my way back, I saw several warships and transport ships frozen not far from you. Is there a base over there?"

Jiang Ning nodded. "It used to be a joint military base of various countries led by the Eagle Sauce. It was later destroyed and occupied by the Russian Bear."

"The Eagle Sauce Military?"

Seeing his eyebrows twisted into knots, Jiang Ning felt something was wrong, "Well, is there a problem?"

Zhao Quan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "The Eagle Sauce military has a base more than 2,000 nautical miles away from the Huacheng base. Two months ago, their military diplomats made a special trip to the Huacheng base."

Jiang Ning was surprised. "The Russians said it was the Eagle Sauce military, and they even built an underwater fortress. The two sides fight every now and then, so they can't be wrong."

"Undersea Fortress?" Zhao Quan was flying with a mission, and he quickly understood what was going on. "Yes, they are indeed the Eagle Sauce military, but they are only a branch of the military, and they are traitors to the military."

Turns out she was a traitor. No wonder she was so weak. She almost thought she was invincible in the universe.

Jiang Ning immediately became interested, "How did they become traitors?"

Zhao Quan didn't know either, but one of the missions of the voyage was to help the Eagle Sauce find warships and transport ships, and even the specific models were given.

What the top military officials discussed is confidential and cannot be made public.

But when Zhao Quan learned that the American rebels had built an underground fortress, he roughly guessed what was going on.

China's new home is to build an offshore platform, reclaim land and create islands to return to the mainland, while the Eagle Sauce's plan is to build an underwater fortress.

But the warships and transport ships carrying the materials took advantage of the storm and fled...
