"Retreat! Return to base at full speed!" Mou Xuan's voice was as cold as iron, without a trace of hesitation.
Those deep eyes were fixed on the ominous energy rolling in the sky above the base, and his heart was already filled with turbulent waves.
Unknown energy monster?
Massive attack?
This is no coincidence!
"But chief, the clues here..." a team member couldn't help but speak. It seemed that they were only one step away from the truth.
"Follow orders!" Mou Xuan interrupted in a stern voice, with unquestionable majesty in his tone, "Leave a small team to seal off this area, and no one is allowed to approach! The rest of you, follow me!"
He knew very well that the safety of the base was of primary importance.
If the base is lost, what is the point of finding the traitor and the mastermind?
That would be the real end of the world!
Chen Yao pursed her lips tightly, and came to Mou Xuan silently, with a firm look in her eyes: "I'll go with you!"
Mou Xuan glanced at her and nodded slightly. At this moment, there is no point in saying more.
The convoy broke through the dead silence in the night and rushed towards the alliance base at the fastest speed.
The adjutant's anxious voice was intermittent on the communicator, mixed with violent explosions and the roars of monsters, each sound like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart.
The closer you get to the base, the more noticeable the violent energy fluctuations in the air become.
When the outline of the base appeared on the horizon, even though Mou Xuan was determined, he couldn't help but gasp.
The outskirts of the base, which was once impregnable, was now being crazily attacked by a group of monsters of various shapes, surrounded by distorted light and shadows.
These monsters had no substance, as if they were made purely of destructive energy. Every impact created a dazzling light on the alloy defense wall, leaving behind scorch marks of varying depths.
Although the defensive firepower network was unleashed at full strength, its killing effect on these energy bodies seemed limited.
"Open fire! Open a hole for me!" Mou Xuan acted decisively, and the heavy weapons on the vehicle roared first. Several thick energy beams accurately blasted into the densest part of the monster group, creating an energy ripple and temporarily clearing a small area.
The convoy took advantage of the situation and rushed into the outer defense circle of the base. The shrill alarms and the roar of battle instantly engulfed them.
“Chief! You’re finally back!” The adjutant, covered in blood, rushed over with relief at having survived a disaster. “There are too many of these ghost things! They seem to be able to absorb energy attacks!”
Mou Xuan frowned, it was indeed a tricky situation.
He looked around. Although the battle was fierce, the defense line could still be maintained thanks to the command of commanders at all levels.
"All heavy energy weapons, switch to saturation attacks with physical warheads! Psychic teams, prioritize killing targets that are huge or have strong energy reactions! Engineering department, immediately check the damage to the energy shield generator, and keep the shield running at all costs!"
Commands came out clearly and quickly from Mou Xuan's mouth. He was like a stabilizing force in the storm, instantly stabilizing the somewhat chaotic situation.
He did not activate his time ability immediately. In such a large-scale, long-lasting battle, the consumption of time ability must be carefully calculated and used at the most critical moment.
Chen Yao also showed amazing fighting talent and calm mind at this moment.
She holds a special energy gun with precise and ruthless shooting skills. She constantly moves around various points of weak firepower, assisting her comrades in repelling the energy monsters that try to break through the defense line.
On several occasions, when dangerous situations occurred, she used her keen intuition and agile skills to rescue her teammates from the energy impact of monsters, winning cheers and gratitude.
Mou Xuan's eyes swept across Chen Yao's agile figure from time to time, and a hint of warmth flashed through his heart, but it was soon replaced by more solemn thoughts.
While directing the battle, he gave orders to his adjutant in a deep voice: "Send out an elite team, led by the most reliable person, to continue secretly investigating clues about the traitor and the abandoned bunker. Once you find anything, report to me immediately. Remember, secrecy first, safety first!"
"Yes, Chief!" The adjutant took the order and left.
Fighting on two fronts is overwhelming pressure.
But Mou Xuan knew that these two things must be related.
The appearance of the traitor, the ambush of the mysterious force, and the sudden siege of the city by the energy monster could not be a coincidence.
The battle was extremely brutal, lasting from dusk to late night, and from late night to dawn.
The offensive of the energy monsters seemed endless, wave after wave, challenging the limits of the will of the alliance warriors.
Just when both sides were exhausted and their defense was in jeopardy, another encrypted communicator on Mou Xuan's wrist suddenly vibrated slightly.
This communicator is specially used to receive intelligence from certain special channels.
He had an idea and quickly answered the call, avoiding the crowd.
There was no sound in the communicator, only a piece of encrypted data coming through.
Mou Xuan quickly connected it to the tactical tablet, a gleam in his eyes.
It was an extremely brief message, with a star-pointed map and a few words attached: "Tan Long (the leader of the forces behind the traitor Tan) will arrive at the coordinates secretly in three hours to receive the 'goods'. - on."
To the traitor! He actually sent the information on his own initiative!
Mou Xuan's fingertips tapped lightly on the cold tablet.
The authenticity of this information remains to be verified, but considering the current situation, this may very well be a life-saving straw thrown by the traitor in desperation, or... a deeper trap.
But regardless, it’s an opportunity!
An opportunity to eliminate the traitor Tan in one fell swoop, or even uncover deeper secrets!
"Pass on my order!" Mou Xuan's voice sounded again, with a hint of murderous aura that could not be mistaken, "Team one, team two, team three, continue to hold the defense line, and hold back these energy monsters at all costs! The rest of the combat teams, rest and resupply immediately, and gather here in fifteen minutes!"
