Global Cataclysm: Start building a floating island

Chapter Thirty-Five: A Business That Makes No Loss

Not long after walking, Lin Ye saw many bottomless holes in the center of the base.

These are the passages dug by the Zerg in order to transport large numbers of warriors and raid the human army from the rear. This is their usual tactic.

Moreover, in general bases, there are no effective means of defense at all. Once the defense fails, the entire base will suffer disaster.

"At what point in time was the alien creature's first round of attack? Which round of defense is this?"

Lin Ye squatted down, broke off some sand from the side of the hole, put it on his hands and rubbed it.

This is much stronger than the cave we saw where the convoy was attacked before, and is enough to support those bugs running wild on the ground.

If high explosives were planted at the entrance of the cave, although it could be blown up, the entire base would be destroyed by a landslide. These Erican soldiers would never agree.

Of course, even if they are blown up, it will be of no use. The next round of attacks will only delay their progress slightly.

At this time, Major Sim stood nearby and briefly stated what happened in the base:

"The first round of the attack was in the early morning, and we were still reorganizing our troops. Fortunately, the base had sufficient firearms and ammunition, and we defended it.

But then there was an attack every two hours, with increasing numbers and more ferocious attacks.

I don’t know how long we can last!”

"Now that I'm here, don't worry, I still have some experience in dealing with these alien creatures!"

Although Lin Ye was joking, his expression was extremely serious.

Just imagine, if these alien creatures cannot attack for a long time, what will they send over?

Perhaps because they heard the news about Major Sim's return, the small conference room was already full of people.

Sitting in the center of the round table is the base commander. Looking at the military rank on his shoulder, this person has reached the rank of colonel.

After a preliminary conversation with a group of officers, Lin Ye learned about the difficulties the base was facing.

The situation was worse than he expected.

During this half-month period, refugees continued to flow into the military base, and the few food supplies were consumed in a short period of time.

Currently, the only thing keeping everyone alive is the self-heating military rations in the warehouse, which are about to bottom out. In recent days, it has become more and more common for multiple people to share a portion of food.

In addition, several waves of corpses in the early stages of the catastrophe had severely weakened the Erican army. As a result, less than half a day after the earthquake ended, a large number of alien creatures besieged the base.

According to them, the current ammunition reserves can last at most one round of attack, and they need to obtain supplies as soon as possible.

Of course, after the disaster, the colonel did not just sit back and wait for death. He also actively sought rescue, but the communication equipment could not contact the headquarters at all.

Even if you want to go out to search for supplies, without the support of satellite GPS navigation, it is easy to get lost in the desert, so those helicopters simply become decorations.

Lin Ye spread the map Hassan gave him on the table, pointed at the strongholds of armed organizations around him, and said doubtfully:

"Is it possible that you will have to rely on scattered armed organizations in the future? Believe me, this is not a long-term solution at all!"

In order to survive, everyone will risk their lives, so this kind of robbery requires taking great risks!

Major Sim's failure is the best example.

Not only did he fail to bring back the expected equipment and supplies, but he also caused some damage to the base.

These included more than a dozen elite soldiers who died under a hail of bullets, several armored vehicles sent out, and a large number of firearms and ammunition.

For this base, which is already in crisis, this is undoubtedly an act that makes matters worse.

The colonel sitting across the round table was a little suspicious of Lin Ye's identity at first, but after talking to the major who had saved his life for a while, he slightly lowered his guard.

Now that he saw Lin Ye taking out a marked map of the armed organization, he no longer had any reservations.

Ignoring the dissuasion of others, he also spread out the battle maps related to the secrets of the army on the table and gave a general introduction:

"Actually, we still have a place to store supplies, and these special marks on the map are the specific locations.

However, the closest storage point to the base is also ten kilometers away, and all the strongholds have been captured by zombies. We have sent people to investigate before, and there are too many zombies, making it difficult to break through the encirclement."

Lin Ye compared the marked points on the two maps and asked without raising his head: "What is stored there?"

The colonel hesitated for a moment, but finally spread his hands and told the truth:

"There are a large amount of ordnance supplies, sufficient food supplies, and several heavy tanks..."

"Hey, you guys really have a big business, but why do you want to move these things to such a far place?" Lin Ye raised his head and looked at the officer opposite, with a puzzled look on his face.

If it had been placed at the door of your home or hidden in a warehouse, there would have been less trouble than it is now!

The colonel folded his hands, looking slightly embarrassed, and the officers around him also turned their faces away, or made small movements to avert their eyes.

"Um...actually, these equipment were originally going to be sold to the Seria army, but before they could take action, they encountered a disaster. There were not many guards at the material storage point, so they were captured by the raging zombies not long after!"

Good guy, Lin Ye looked at the officer in front of him and called him "good guy!"

Erican's military headquarters played so many tricks, but in the end, they tricked their own people!

However, for Lin Ye, this is a business that is absolutely guaranteed to make a profit, and he will naturally not let go of such an opportunity.

He placed the reintegrated combat map in front of the colonel, pointed to the marked points on it, and said calmly:

"I can help you stop the siege of alien creatures, and I can also help you retrieve supplies from storage points, but I need some hard work money!"

Major Sim has already told the officers present that Lin Ye has special equipment.

For them, it is a good thing to have such a powerful helper in critical moments.

The colonel leaned over the edge of the table and responded excitedly:

"What do you want? As long as it is within a reasonable range and as long as the base can provide it, then we will never treat you badly!"

Lin Ye really didn't expect that this guy agreed so quickly. He leaned on the seat, looked into the other person's eyes, and said slowly:

"It's useless for you to keep the tank, so why not give it to me?"

After thinking for a moment, the colonel immediately responded: "Of course, you can pick one out and drive away!"

Lin Ye sat up straight, waved his hands and explained: "No, Colonel, I mean, I want all the heavy tanks!"

Although these words were not loud, all the officers in the military tent were stunned, and then they all laughed breathlessly.

"Young man, do you know where this place is?"

"Even if I give it to you, can you drive a heavy tank with just a few of you? Can you drive them all away?"

One of the officers even put the map aside, put his hands on the table, and said in a stern tone:

"We did not arrest you and your teammates, which is the greatest mercy. Don't push yourself too far!"

The colonel also nodded silently and looked over with a smile:

"If I want, I can directly collect all the specially-made equipment and distribute it to my subordinates!"

It seems they still haven’t figured out the situation!

Lin Ye chuckled and said nothing. Then he looked sideways at Major Sim standing next to him and found that this guy was lowering his head and thinking silently about something.

Before the officers in the conference room could continue to discuss countermeasures, there was a sudden quarrel in the base. After Lin Ye heard the sound, he immediately walked out with a gun.
