Global Cataclysm: Start building a floating island

Lin Ye picked up the photo frame scattered on the table, and the signature on the back made him frown.

He immediately turned around and looked at Major Sim, with a surprised look on his face:

"Are you the commander here?"

Sim was stunned for a moment, then sneered:

"Yes, after Erican withdrew his troops from Seria, the military department sent me to stay here permanently to maintain the base's facilities on a daily basis for subsequent use."

"This place is not bad. Why did you end up at Military Base No. 11?" Lin Ye put down the documents, a little curious about this.

Sim was dejected. He looked at the photo frame that fell to the ground and said slowly:

"There was originally a battalion stationed here, with about 600 people. Although the base area was very large, the defense facilities were insufficient.

After the disaster, we relied on the only weapons and supplies in the base and managed to hold on for more than a month, but we inevitably lost more than 200 people.

In desperation, we received a contact message from Military Base No. 11, so we led the remaining troops and supplies to join the colonel.

On the surface we are called reinforcements, but in fact we are here to take refuge.”

After saying that, he smiled awkwardly. After all, this was indeed an unspeakable thing for an officer.

Lin Ye dusted off the sofa and sat on it, turning his head and asking:

"Then why didn't you leave with those officers before? After all, it's a force of more than a hundred people, so it's better than the five of us."

Sim took off his tactical helmet and put it on his desk, then wiped the fine sweat on his forehead and joked:

"I have to be responsible for the people under me. No matter what, I can't leave my life to those stupid guys!"

"So, you just left with us?" Lin Ye leaned on the sofa, with a half-smile expression on his face, "I tied you up before, aren't you afraid that I will trick you again?"

Sim sat in his chair and shrugged:

"I don't know if it's a trap or not, but you have saved me twice before. After all, my life is yours!"

This sentence caused a trace of doubt in Lin Ye's heart. It seemed that the major's purpose was not pure.

After the two were silent for a moment, Sim suddenly stood up, walked towards him, and said coldly:

"I heard you have a shelter?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the office raised their heads, especially Cheng Bei, whose eyes immediately revealed murderous intent.

Lin Ye was also startled by this question and responded with a slight panic: "Why do you ask that?"

But when he looked at the other person's expression and thought about the previous conversations, he suddenly frowned:

"You don't want to join our shelter, do you?"

"What's wrong?" Sim nodded, folding his hands in front of him, his expression full of helplessness.

He walked to the window, looked at the doomsday scene outside, and continued:

"Look at the soldiers under me. They are all sallow and thin, and they can't even hold a gun.

The supplies taken from the storage point can only last for a week at most. What should I do after that?

I'm afraid that before we can establish a base, we will starve to death in the desert."

The meaning of Major Sim's words couldn't be more obvious, but Lin Ye slowly sat up straight, spread his hands and said regretfully:

"But if so many of you join in, supplies will also be in short supply!"

His words were completely an excuse. The floating island did not lack resources. He was eager for someone to help clean up the backlog of canned food.

And he also wants this group of people to join the Floating Island. After all, they are all elite soldiers who have been on the battlefield. Their abilities are much higher than ordinary people, and they are a rare cornerstone for development.

But the main problem does not lie in supplies, but in the secondary floating island that has not yet been upgraded [resident residence] and can only accommodate a maximum of 10 residents.

Others can still join, but those who exceed the residence limit will not only be unable to enjoy the attribute bonuses, but also cannot make calls.

For example, if you are dispatched to work at a central facility or garrisoned at a sentry tower, rounding off is equivalent to wasting supplies.

Beyond that, the loyalty of these people will also be an issue.

Lin Ye's meaning was actually very clear, and Major Sim could naturally understand it.

He said nothing more, turned around and sat back behind the desk, leaning back on the chair with a slumped expression.

When everyone was silent, strange noises suddenly appeared around the base, accompanied by the continuous screams of zombies.

Suddenly, all the soldiers on the first floor took up their weapons and ran outside the building to stand guard.

Sim put down the broken picture frame, took a deep breath, and rushed outside with a pistol.

Lin Ye led others to the corridor, picked up a telescope and observed the specific situation outside the base.

If it were just some wandering zombies, it wouldn't be a problem for them.

Except for Lin Ye and his team who used special biological and chemical weapons, the remaining thirty or so soldiers were also elites of the Erican Army who had escaped from death. Not only were their marksmanship accurate, they would not panic in the face of such a scene.

However, among the corpses currently approaching the base, there are still many Zerg species mixed in, such as the huge Gap Rock Spider.

Although ordinary firearms cannot cause effective damage to them, fortunately they also have heavy weapons such as tanks and armored vehicles.

Therefore, these alien creatures pose no threat to the base.

Lin Ye and Major Sim commanded their respective teams to conduct defensive counterattacks.

It was easy to deal with it at first, but after more than ten minutes of fighting, Lin Ye found that the number of corpses and insect swarms was really alarming.

Perhaps it's because there are underground tunnels dug by Titan worms in the ruins of the nearby city.

After all, for complex terrain on the surface, a straight tunnel can greatly increase the marching speed.

However, one thing is clear, this battle is definitely being directed by high-level alien creatures.

They let the insect swarm attack the front of the base to withstand the artillery fire of tanks and armored vehicles, and then let a large number of zombies advance on both sides to surround the entire base.

Military Base No. 8 does not have a highly defensive wall like Lin Ye's floating island.

A simple explosion-proof wall filled with sand will not be of much use in the face of alien creatures.

A large number of zombies have climbed over the wall and rushed into the base.

If not handled in time, the communication facility may be in danger, even if it is a reinforced concrete structure building.

Major Sim immediately dispatched soldiers, in groups of five, to intercept the fortifications around the facility.

Time did not pass quickly, but corpses were already lying inside and outside the base.

Under the suppression of everyone's firepower, the offensive of the alien creatures has been weakened, but this situation will not last long.

Because their number has not decreased, there are still a large number of reinforcements in the desert behind them, and they are approaching here to surround them.

However, Lin Ye's weapons and ammunition could not withstand the consumption. They had not received much supplies from the storage point before.

Moreover, these alien creatures, especially zombies, have no sense of pain or fear at all.

They have only one goal, which is to devour all living creatures in front of them.

In the ring fortification in front of the communication facility, Lin Ye fought off several zombies that rushed up.

While replenishing bullets, he picked up a telescope and observed the surrounding situation.

Judging from the current situation, it seems that it is not much better than the situation encountered at Military Base No. 11.

Of course, the former fell in a short period of time entirely because the soldiers in the base neglected their duties and the officers failed to take precautions.

At this moment, an abnormal situation suddenly occurred in the Gobi desert a few kilometers away.
