"What the new superhuman said—slaves in the Rock, exploited, unable to find food... How many days could you survive like that?"
"Exactly! What other base has a life like Flameheart's? As long as you work and don't slack off, you'll have plenty to eat and wear, and there are even high-level ability users overseeing things..."
"Therefore, not only can't we run, we have to go down with the base!"
"But what if...aren't you afraid?"
"You need to understand, without Flameheart, how long can we survive outside?"
......
Various discussions echoed in every corner of the base, a mixture of worry and determination, fear and hope.
Some people silently wiped their weapons, some held their children tightly in their arms, and others gathered together to exchange the information they had gathered.
At this moment, every survivor is doing their part to overcome the difficulties together with the base that has sheltered them for so long...
As the sun slowly sank below the horizon, it painted the sky a magnificent crimson, as if adding the last warm hues to the approaching night.
Warm light shone from the windows of every household, and wisps of smoke rose from the chimneys in the twilight.
If it weren't for the subtle tension in the air, this would probably have been just an ordinary dusk.
Tension and trust intertwined in the air, and everyone understood that tonight might be a sleepless night.
Inside the Lu family villa, Lu Nange and her group had already finished dinner and were sitting around the sofa, making final arrangements using a detailed map of the base.
"If the enemy were to launch a large-scale attack, these two positions would be the most likely targets."
Chi Yanzhou's slender fingers traced across the map, finally stopping at two red dots marked "Gate" and "Last Outpost".
Lu Nange nodded in agreement: "The road leading to the main gate is the most open, suitable for a strong attack. The rear outpost is close to the mountain, making it easy to approach from a concealed position."
She looked up at everyone: "Therefore, we need to focus our strongest forces on these two locations."
After careful discussion, a three-shift rotation plan was finally determined...
All Flameheart ability users were divided into three echelons to ensure sufficient combat power to deal with emergencies at any time.
"Leave the main gate to me," Lu Nange said first, patting Lu Beiye's head as he lay on her lap. "Aye, come with me."
"Yes, wherever you go, I'll go!" The little guy immediately straightened his back, put on a serious expression, but couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes.
Wen Qing: "In large-scale conflicts, healers can play the most important role... I'll also guard the gate."
Chi Yanzhou's gaze swept over the furthest outpost on the map: "I'll leave this one to you. The other outposts need to be prepared as well; we must lead separate teams!"
Therefore, the remaining thirteen sentry posts were led by Lu Xici, Shi Xu, Gu Qi, He Zhuo, Ji Xian, Chi Yi, Gu Wan, Luo Xingyou, Sang Xu, Chi Qingyue, Gu's father, He Huaijing, Chi Si... respectively!
Lu Nange: "Hold your cell phones and walkie-talkies! Remember, report any unusual activity immediately, and do not act rashly..."
If the enemy chooses to launch a strong attack, Shi Xu and I will use our mental energy to detect them and immediately notify you. You will then hand over the sentry post to your deputy captain and regroup!
If, contrary to our plan, the enemy launches a surprise attack from the other outposts... Ah Ye, Zhizhi, Gangzi, and I will arrive immediately!
"Okay, Nan Nan!"
"Okay, little sister!"
Chi Yanzhou: "Vehicles will be prepared under each sentry post... Everyone should keep communication channels open."
As night deepened, figures silently disappeared into the darkness, heading to their respective posts.
The beams of searchlights swept across the night sky, and the staff on duty watched every frame intently on the monitor screen.
On this seemingly peaceful night, Flameheart Base had already deployed an invisible defensive network, quietly awaiting the possible storm.
