At this time, 18 hours had passed since the rebels and Chang Wei's fleet were teleported away by the IMC's space-time folding weapon.

However, due to the IMC fleet having already deployed during this period, the problems of communication interference and air superiority on Typhon still exist.

So, for a moment, no one in the fleet knew what the situation was on the ground.

Maybe there are still surviving troops, or maybe they have all died in the enemy-occupied area...

In addition, the confrontation between them and the IMC fleet and the fierce battle for air supremacy meant that they did not have much energy to send troops to search for the whereabouts of Chang Wei and others.

At least, in their opinion, it would be better to quickly seize air superiority over Typhon so that the communication interference can be eliminated than to risk searching around like a headless fly.

Chang Wei gradually regained consciousness after a period of drowsiness. He had undergone medical mechanical transformation and was no longer in danger of death. With the supplementation of nutritional supplements, his body functions quickly recovered.

Using the existing conditions, the medical soldier installed a mechanical right arm and a mechanical prosthetic eye for Chang Wei. Combined with the burnt skin repaired by the nano-medical beam, Chang Wei now looks like a Terminator with half of his skin exposed.

Chang Wei looked in the mirror. His mechanical right eye emitted a creepy red electronic light. The mixture of light and dark skin colors was like a ferocious scar, adding a lot of maturity and solemnity to his temperament.

He raised his mechanical right arm, and stretched and grasped with his five fingers flexibly. Chang Wei was in disbelief!

"I...I actually...lost my right eye and right arm? I almost died?"

Risjako stood behind Chang Wei and said apologetically.

"General, at that time... I had no choice. This was the only way to save you."

Chang Wei did not blame the other party. In fact, after experiencing life and death before, he had already understood and realized a lot of things.

This isn't a game, and the enemies aren't NPCs with quick wits or sudden drops in intelligence. This is... a completely real world! Just being able to survive is already lucky enough, how could I dare to ask for anything else?

As for this state, what will we do after returning to Earth?

At worst, he could just say goodbye to his previous life and live on the battleship from now on. Anyway, he was lonely and alone on Earth, and there was nothing to be nostalgic about.

Chang Wei felt relieved when he thought of this. He turned around and gave Major Risjako a few words of encouragement before asking about the current situation.

"Eighteen hours have passed. Our fleet should have returned. Have we managed to contact them?"

Resjaco shook his head and replied.

"Not yet, General. While you were unconscious, the signal tower's power was successfully restored, but the IMC personnel severed the line connecting to the lock module, preventing the console from establishing a connection with the tower. Naturally... the communication signal hasn't been transmitted yet."

"However, Major Anderson and Jack Cooper have already gone to deal with it. Judging by the time, they should be successful soon, right?"

Sure enough, while they were talking, something strange happened on the signal tower.

Then, Captain Cole said happily: "Cooper, Major, well done! The antenna was successfully activated! When you come back, we will send a message to the fleet! All this is thanks to you..."

A voice responded in the communication channel: "This is what we should do."

Not long after, Chang Wei saw BT coming back with Major Anderson and Cooper in big strides outside.

As soon as they got off BT, Jack Cooper and Major Anderson looked at Chang Wei and said in unison: "Glad to see you're safe, General!"

Chang Wei smiled back: "You too."

"Alright, no need for extra condolences. I'm not dead yet! Now, quickly send a signal to the fleet! And ask them to come pick us up."

Major Anderson nodded, then pulled a data file from his satchel and handed it to Captain Cole. It contained the Ark's energy signature and a series of intelligence gathering.

Captain Cole took the data file and immediately began operating the console without hesitation. At the same time, he called out to the technician in the other direction, "Hey! Can you try again?"

"Sir, all systems are normal!"

Captain Cole nodded, then turned to the other side and continued shouting: "OK! Granol, start it!"

"Yes, sir! The communication program has been activated! The communication is being sent!"

"Progress 25%! Continuously climbing!"

"60%, progress is accelerating!"

As the voices continued to shout, everyone looked out the window at the signal tower with smoke billowing out of it, praying in their hearts: I hope this time...can be successful...

"80%! Almost there!"

"Signal strength has reached maximum! Communication connection is ready!"

At this time, BT·7274 also connected to the system and reported: "Communication has been sent, waiting for response..."

In fact, everyone was still very nervous. No one knew if their fleet still existed at this moment, or if... it had been completely destroyed by the IMC?

Captain Cole folded his arms, looked up at the sky, and spoke in a heavy tone.

“I hope there’s still someone up there…”

Here we come!

Soon, a communication request came in.

"This is the SRS Marauder Regiment of the Resistance. I'm Sarah Briggs. Please answer."

BT, which is connected to the communication system, has become the only bridge that can communicate between the two at this time.

"Commander Briggs, this is BT-7274. Protocol Two: Perseverance. We have important intelligence to submit to SRS Headquarters. Furthermore, during our operation, we rescued the supreme commander of the Rebel Alliance, Lieutenant General Chang Wei, from enemy territory. Requesting a support force to escort him to safety."

There was a rustling sound of signal interference, and just when everyone's heart was in their throat, the other side immediately responded.

"Headquarters, I got it. It's really nice to hear your voice again, BT. Say hello to Captain Lastimosa for me. I'll see you later! Now, locate the coordinates immediately!"

BT and Cooper fell silent for a moment.

After waiting for a while, Chang Wei and his team saw three rebel warships and transport boats floating in the sky, as well as the Hyperion and a large number of cruising Viking fighters.

This scene immediately made everyone feel at ease.

They...are finally safe.
