Global Cataclysm: Start building a floating island

Chapter 34 On the brink of desperation

Chapter 34 On the brink of desperation
Major Sim’s expression changed again and again. He seemed to want to refute, but he didn’t say it after all.

Lin Ye, on the other hand, observed the soldiers behind the fortifications, and found that although they temporarily held the line of defense, they were not in a good condition at this time.

These Erikan soldiers have powerful firepower, but lack the most critical food supplies.

”Having experienced the previous zombie waves, I believe you also understand that even if you temporarily hold the defense line, without food supplies, your elite troops cannot sustain themselves in the barren and barren desert!”

Hearing this, the major’s expression changed from the previous determination to the current hesitation.

Lin Ye, who had the upper hand, stared at the major, his tone gradually increased, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised:

”In addition to these equipment and materials, I also have information about alien creatures, and you just need these two things!”

He took out the marked map of armed groups in the Seria area and showed it in front of the major, then changed the subject:
”I have the distribution map of armed organizations. Although these outlaws do not have sophisticated equipment, their crisis awareness is much stronger than yours. When the disaster happened, they started planning to hoard supplies. You know I got it from Stephen How much food?”

Supplies and intelligence are difficult conditions for the major to refuse.

Finally, he couldn’t bear it any longer, so he could only lower his head and sigh, then, ignoring the stop of the three lieutenants, he opened the hatch and climbed out of the armored vehicle, waved towards the other side of the fortification and shouted:
”It’s me, Sim, put the gun down, and open the gate and let us in!”

”Major Sim!” Captain Murphy, who was leading the team in combat, was overjoyed when he saw this scene.

He immediately ordered the guards at the base to open the gate, put away their weapons, and follow the dusty armored vehicles.

Just as he ran to the front of the armored vehicle and prepared to greet them, his movements suddenly stopped.

”Wait, something is wrong!”

The major was followed by some strange strangers.

They wear the body armor of the Erikan Army, which can be covered with mechanical exoskeletons, but they do not belong to any legion of the headquarters.

Especially the strangely shaped weapons in his hands are a bit like bluffs created by experts in civil science.

Murphy instantly became alert, stepped forward with a gun in his hand, and asked Major Sim about the situation of the armed organization.

Before he had said a few words, he saw the strangle marks on the major’s wrist, so he immediately asked with concern:
”Major Sim, are you okay?”

As if aware of the other party’s gaze, Sim rubbed his wrist and laughed repeatedly:
”I’m fine, by the way, let me introduce you to a few people!”

He turned to look at Lin Ye and his party who were following behind, and then briefly introduced a few words:

”They, uh, they rescued me from the armed group. It was these same people just now, who helped exterminate zombies and bugs in the underground tunnel!”

Lin Ye didn’t say much. He just held the shotgun in his hand tightly and nodded with a smile.

Looking at the strange smile on the other side, Sim suddenly felt chills behind his back, and he was stunned for a moment before he could react.

After a simple greeting, Lin Ye and his party followed the major into the base.

The remaining three lieutenants joined the defense team on the spot to clean up the corpses left on the scene and prepare for the next battle.

It has to be said that only by walking in the military base can one discover how magical this place is.

When Lin Ye was inspecting outside before, he had some reservations about the base facilities, but now that he saw the whole picture, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.

Around the infrastructure, there are all simple board houses built for civilians, as well as various types of tents.

And besides Seria civilians, there are also some citizens of Erikon living inside. Judging from their attire, they seem to be the staff of the embassy.

Lin Ye couldn’t believe what he saw in front of him. It is an extremely dangerous practice to house so many people in the last days.

What’s more, this is a medium-sized military base, and it can’t support such a huge resource consumption. I’m afraid that it will collapse from the inside before it solves the end-time crisis.

To be cautious, Lin Ye asked Qin Lie and others to follow Hassan to investigate the specific situation of the civilians in Seria, and by the way, check to see if anyone was infected with the zombie virus.

Then, he looked sideways at the major who was walking in the front and greeted everyone with a smile, and asked very puzzled:

”This is your military base? Then why are you taking in so many civilians?”

This question made Major Sim frowned. He stopped, turned and pointed to the military emblem on his chest:
”Alien creatures ransacked towns wantonly, these are displaced civilians, and we are soldiers, this is what we should do!”

”The base has clearly exceeded its capacity. Aren’t you worried about how to survive in the future?” Lin Ye reminded kindly.

Major Sim sighed, and said helplessly: ”This is also the reason why I led the team to attack the armed organization, but there was a mistake in the process, which led to the failure of the operation!”

Lin Ye folded his arms and said in a disdainful tone:
”It’s a good one to do ’just’ things in the name of justice!”

When Major Sim heard this, his expression was a little displeased.

Just as he was about to explode, Hassan ran back from the prefab area with startling news:

”Mr. Lin, these civilians are all from cities in the southeast, which have been captured by the swarm!

Humans infected by the zombie virus are all transformed into zombies, frantically surrounding and suppressing the survivors.

They had no choice but to flee desperately, and then encountered the Erican army on a mission. ”

”Have they all been captured so quickly?” Lin Ye secretly exclaimed as he looked at the civilians around him.

Although Seria’s armed forces were not as strong as Huaguo’s, it was too exaggerated to be captured by alien creatures within a day of the second stage of the catastrophe!
Major Sim took off his heavy tactical vest, looked back at him, and then continued to walk towards the conference room:
”Mr. Lin Ye, the facts are right in front of you, and according to the information we have, not only the cities in the southeast, but all around Marge City have fallen, and only we are still struggling!

If those civilians don’t come to us, they can only die in the mouth of zombies. As a fellow human being, I can’t bear it.

Moreover, if we save a civilian, we will have one less enemy to deal with! ”

Although the man spoke with reason, what he did was not thought through.

This is an irresponsible performance for the rescued civilians and the soldiers in the base.

Once an accident occurs in a densely populated base, the consequences will be disastrous!

But Lin Ye didn’t say anything, just followed the major silently.
