"With worries about the fighting on the front lines, it's impossible to rest peacefully. After all, we are people who care about the lives of our compatriots!" Fang Qingdai replied sarcastically, successfully making Zhu Lingfeng's face darken again!
He glanced at Fang Qingdai up and down a few times, then snorted coldly and turned to leave.
Fang Qingdai's eyes darted around, and she immediately raised her voice: "Commander Zhu came to the front line with an official team to support us? I knew Commander Zhu loved the people like his own children, and he certainly wouldn't watch us ordinary ability users hold the line to death!"
Xiao Mao and Fang Qingdai were old partners. As soon as Fang Qingdai started singing, he joined in: "Of course, otherwise why would Commander Zhu come to the front line? He must be worried about us, so he personally led the team to suppress the alien beasts!"
The two of them sang in unison, instantly attracting the attention of all the surrounding teams!
"Really? That's great! Commander Zhu has personally led reinforcements!" The crowd cheered, showering Zhu Lingfeng with compliments!
Zhu Lingfeng's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, but Fang Qingdai smiled with delight!
Whether they came to the front lines to find out the whereabouts of Fang Qingdai and the others, or had some other conspiracy, they were already here, and they still wanted to leave as if nothing had happened.
This will keep them occupied and buy them more time to see if there's any unexpected gain!
Zhu Lingfeng was being held by the crowd, so it wasn't really appropriate for him to just leave!
After all, the official support team had been delayed for so long that morale was starting to crumble, and many people rushed back to the rear to ask him for an explanation, which Zhu Lingfeng knew.
If we turn around and leave now, the morale of the front-line troops will probably collapse instantly, and the defense line will fall without a fight, which would be very detrimental to Zhu Lingfeng's plan!
Thinking of this, Zhu Lingfeng gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, I'll fight alongside you. If we work together, we'll definitely wipe out the alien beasts and protect Xuanwu No. 4 outpost!"
Zhu Lingfeng led a team into the battle. His level six ice-type ability was genuine, and the people he led were also of a high level, making them extremely fierce in battle!
With their addition, the pressure on the front line was greatly relieved, and they even pushed back the beast tide for a while!
"As expected of Commander Zhu! With Commander Zhu leading the way, the alien beasts will surely be wiped out soon!" Some people in the crowd cheered, and the encouraged crowd fought the alien beasts with extra vigor!
Fang Qingdai's teammates exchanged glances, a cold smile playing on their lips!
The true number of the beast tide exceeded everyone's expectations. Even if five more Zhu Lingfengs came, they still wouldn't be able to kill all tens of thousands of beasts!
Moreover, several large, clearly intelligent, high-level alien beasts were lurking in the rear, driving the lower-level alien beasts to the front.
When those intelligent and powerful alien beasts join the battlefield, or finally succumb to the magnetic field disturbance and their minds collapse, that will be the real test!
As Fang Qingdai and the others were filled with worry, Xuan Liu suddenly approached Fang Qingdai and said, "The base commander has replied!"
He looked excited, his face saying, "See? I told you the base commander couldn't be a bad guy." He looked just like a child eager for his teacher's approval!
Fang Qingdai found it somewhat amusing, but seeing that even someone as composed as Xuan Liu could become so emotional for the sake of the base leader's reputation, she couldn't help but raise her opinion of the base leader even higher.
At the very least, on the surface, he must be a good superior who protects his subordinates!
"How so?"
"The base commander's satellite also seems to have been affected by that magnetic field anomaly, which is why the number of alien beasts detected is inconsistent with the actual number!"
Fang Qingdai frowned.
Is that magnetic field really that powerful?
If that's the case, people should be disturbed!
Even if that magnetic field isn't targeting humans, the cat has been fighting with me for so long, and I haven't seen any changes in it!
Or is it that the source of the beast tide is where the magnetic field is strongest, and the satellite was only affected by interference when monitoring that area, while the magnetic field interference weakened at Outpost No. 4?
Unable to figure it out, Fang Qingdai put it aside for the time being and asked, "What are the base's plans now? Will they send reinforcements?"
This is what Fang Qingdai is most concerned about: whether the base will send reinforcements or not determines how they should handle the situation.
Unless absolutely necessary, Fang Qingdai really didn't want to expose the existence of the organization behind Zhu Lingfeng and others. She was worried that once that organization was brought into the open, many people who would do anything for power would join that organization and become its accomplices!
When that time comes, the wasteland will be in chaos!
Xuan Liu exclaimed with delight, "The base commander said that reinforcements have been sent. This time, not only have 10,000 official troops been dispatched, but also a lot of ammunition supplies have been increased, and even two of the latest energy cannons have been deployed!"
Fang Qingdai raised her eyebrows in surprise!
If, as Xuan Liu said, there are indeed such ample supplies, then the odds of winning this battle have increased dramatically!
After all, although the human population is still smaller than that of the beast horde, humans have brains, know how to cooperate, and have the support of firearms. Most of the beast horde are just low-level beasts without intelligence, so suppressing them is not difficult.
"So, if we just hold out for another eight hours or so, we'll get reinforcements from the base!" Fang Qingdai smiled, hoping everything would turn out well.
"In that case, let's hurry up and hunt down the beasts. We should try to get as many military merits as we can, because it will be harder to get them once the main force arrives!"
Xuan Liu nodded in agreement, and Fang Qingdai's team members immediately became incredibly energetic, fighting the alien beasts with exceptional ferocity!
However, eight hours passed, and Fang Qingdai neither returned nor received any support from the base!
"What happened? Were you delayed on the way?"
Fang Qingdai didn't have any real superpowers. She directed Xiao Teng and the cat to hunt the monsters, while she used the space to frantically collect the complete corpses of the monsters and harvest their ears.
Even so, she was exhausted, let alone the other team members who were really expending their superpowers!
Everyone's condition has reached the red line zone, and it won't be long before everyone runs out of energy!
The other teams had already begun to experience a depletion of their superpowers, and casualties were rising sharply!
Fang Qingdai frowned deeply. At this time, **being there would solve the problem, but ** was still nowhere to be found.
Fang Qingdai secretly contacted Zhang Caixia and Li Mingyue, asking them to send messages to inquire about the situation, but she received no response!
The official support team, which was supposed to arrive, should have arrived by now, but there's still no sign of them!
Xuan Liu's face was also ashen: "I sent a message to the base commander an hour ago, but I haven't received a reply."
"Don't you know anyone else? Ask the others who stayed at the base what's going on!"
Xuan Liu shook his head: "My former companions should all be in the support team this time. I've sent messages to them, but there's been no response..."
Fang Qingdai's face instantly darkened.
Was he tricked by the base commander?
What was his purpose in doing this? To appease Xuan Liu and the others who might change their minds, and to buy time for Zhu Lingfeng?
Fang Qingdai suddenly turned her head to look for Zhu Lingfeng, only to find that he had already retreated from the front line at some point!
