Just then, the sound of brakes came from below the watchtower.
The group peered out and saw Chi Yanzhou, Lu Xici, Gu Qi, and Shi Xu jump out of the car one after another.
"Brother Yan! Brother Ci! Old Gu, Old Shi...we're here!" He Zhuo leaned half his body out of the railing, waving his arms and shouting down at the top of his lungs.
The four people quickly walked up the stairs, one of them holding a tablet in his hand.
Chi Yanzhou handed the tablet in his hand directly to Lu Nange. The screen was lit up and divided into dozens of monitoring screens.
"It's much better than the network server you gave me last time. Everything is ready... the entire base is covered from all angles."
Lu Nange took the tablet, swiped her finger across the screen, and switched between different angles of the live feed.
The main gate, walls, guard posts, and even the main passageways inside the base are clearly visible...
She smiled slightly: "Then let's... wait and see how the show begins."
As the sunlight gradually took on a warm orange hue and became less glaring, the loudspeakers installed throughout the Flameheart base and the walkie-talkies in the hands of all patrol members simultaneously began to ring out.
"Attention, all Flameheart family members."
The base will be in a state of special readiness for the next few days.
Please stay indoors and rest as much as possible in the evening, and do not wander around the base.
Please rest assured...we will definitely protect everyone and will never allow anyone to destroy our home!
The announcement did not cause much panic.
In fact, the survivors had already sensed something was wrong when the base strictly prohibited personnel from leaving and significantly increased patrol forces.
This official announcement, in a way, acts like a reassurance, putting an end to the anxiety...
The base was filled with the sounds of discussion, weaving together the most authentic human experiences in this post-apocalyptic world.
In a cramped dormitory room, the mother was bending over to clear the dishes when she heard this and abruptly straightened up: "Help? You're only thirteen!"
Looking at her son's defiant face, her tone softened: "Young Master Ono is exceptionally gifted, while you're just a child with a level two supernatural ability..."
"But Mom," the boy clenched his little fists, his eyes shining brightly, "Flameheart is our home too, and I want to protect it just like Young Master Ono!"
At the entrance of another dormitory, a girl anxiously gripped the doorframe: "Grandpa, our base... will everything be alright?"
The old man squinted at the reinforced wall in the distance: "What's there to be afraid of? Our base ranks second in Beijing."
Captain Chi, you've heard a lot about what happened with Miss Lu and the others... You've heard so much about it. With them around, the sky won't fall down for Flameheart..."
In the dormitory area, several young people were having a heated discussion.
"Should we go help?"
The older man pressed down on his shoulder: "Don't make things worse."
He turned and pulled a sharpened iron rod from under the bed: "But we need to be prepared. If we're really needed, we'll fight to the death to protect this home!"
In a corner of the market, whispers of worry drifted through the twilight of the dormitory area...
"What if... I mean, what if we can't hold on? What will we do then?"
"Should we pack up first? If it really comes to it, should we just run away in the chaos?"
"Are you stupid?" The aunt next door suddenly pushed open the window.
"Listen carefully... Is there any disturbance at our base right now? Why is everyone so quiet? There's no one causing trouble? What does that mean?"
"This means everyone understands that only with Yanxin around can we continue to live like human beings!"
