Chapter 181 Clearing up past grievances

After everyone rushed into the entrance of the former 23rd Military Base, the opened steel gate slowly fell again, and the water of the waterfall washed down again.

The alien creatures that were chasing were blocked outside the base by two obstacles, and they roared unwillingly at the guards of the former 23rd Military Base on the cliff.

The guards on the steel wall did not tolerate them, and immediately picked up their weapons and fired a volley at the roaring alien creatures below.

The alien creatures were bombarded, and they realized that their troops could not do anything to the humans hiding inside the fortress, so they turned around and ran away.

The marines of the support troops got off the car one after another.

They were covered in dust by Augustine's attack before, and now everyone was drenched in waterfall water, and they all turned into small earthy yellow mud figures.

The soldier, Zijian, found this funny and said to them:

"The water flowing down from the mountain walls on both sides of the entrance tunnel is also clean waterfall water. If you don't mind the cold, you can wash here first."

Just kidding, everyone was soaked by the waterfall water and had already cooled down, so why would they care about this.

Immediately, they all ran to both sides of the entrance tunnel, pressed their bodies against the mountain walls, and let the water seeping from top to bottom wash over their bodies.

After washing off all the mud on their bodies, they returned to the car and drove towards the interior of the base.

After they drove for a while, the soldiers suddenly felt warm, as if there was warm air coming in and out of the car window.

Everyone looked outside and found that there were several high-power heaters installed above the base tunnels that were closer to the inside.

It seemed that they were specially designed to clean the water stains on the vehicles entering the base.

The commander of the Marine Corps was curious and asked the soldier Zijian:

"Sergeant, do you keep turning on these heating devices?

Shouldn't we save the remaining energy in the base and use it to defend against the attack of the alien creature army?"

Sergeant Zijian smiled and said:

"Haha, it is reasonable that the base's energy should not be wasted casually, but this base itself is a super-large hydroelectric power station, and there is so much energy that it can't be used up at all."

"Super-large hydroelectric power station?"

The commander showed a puzzled look, thinking that this is not a fortress base built inside the cliff waterfall?

It doesn't look like a hydroelectric power station at all.

Seeing the commander's puzzled expression, Sergeant Zijian didn't explain too much and said:

"It's troublesome to explain it twice. When we meet up with the soldiers on the spacecraft, I will explain it to you together."

"Yes."

They continued to drive into the mountain for a while before reaching the elevator.

Zijian motioned for everyone to stop the car and said:

"Everyone get off the car, we will use these elevators to ascend to the interior of the base."

After hearing this, everyone finally understood.

It turned out that after they entered the back of the waterfall, they drove such a long distance inside the mountain, and they walked through the entrance tunnel of the original 23rd Military Base.

It seems that the thickness of this mountain is much greater than they had estimated from the outside before.

In order to cope with the problem of transporting large-volume equipment and materials into the base, this base has planned and designed more than a dozen super-large elevators.

Each super-large elevator can accommodate hundreds of people at the same time. They have nearly 800 people, which means they occupy two elevators and can be accommodated.

The super-large elevator slowly rises, and when the number on the height display reaches 352 meters, the elevator stops.

Everyone got out of the elevator and found that they had arrived at the interior of the original 23rd Military Base.

Everyone looked and saw that three-quarters of the base was inside the mountain, all of which were functional areas such as living, working, transportation and storage.

The remaining quarter was built on the cliffs outside the mountain, all of which were reconnaissance and defense areas.

Liu Cheng and his group of more than 30 people who got off the spaceship were also waiting here early under the leadership of other garrison soldiers.

Soldier leader Zijian recognized Liu Cheng at the first sight and said in surprise:

"Butcher Soldier Leader, what a coincidence.

I didn't expect that the leader of the support troops we were waiting for was you!"

Everyone was puzzled when they heard this. The regiment leader and Tian Tiantian all looked at Liu Cheng and asked puzzledly:

"Do you know each other?"

Liu Cheng stared at Zijian and thought for a long time but couldn't figure out where he had seen him.

Zijian pointed at himself and said excitedly:

"I, Zijian!

I am the one who used the water dragon ability in the recruit trial mission!"

After being reminded by the other party, Liu Cheng remembered the other party's identity and pointed repeatedly:

"I remember, you were the one who was almost trampled to death by those stone crabs and was saved by me!

And you two were also the examiner sergeants present at the time!"

Hearing this, Zijian and the other two sergeants present were all embarrassed, and some did not want to admit that they were the people Liu Cheng mentioned.

"Hey, I remember that there were a total of four people saved at that time. Since you were all assigned to a platoon, where did the other person go?"

Hearing this, Zijian and others were silent, and sighed:

"Hey, it's a long story.

So, we are standing here, let's find a meeting room to sit down and talk."

Liu Cheng nodded and asked Fu Yan and Tian Tiantian to help him arrange for Augustine and others to find a place to rest.

He himself and the regiment commander and others followed Sergeant Zijian and others to leave.

Seeing that they could finally rest, the twenty garbage man employees all seemed to have escaped death, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, I didn't expect the working environment in our company to be so dangerous. No wonder the people we recruit are all people with abilities above level two."

Arnold replied:

"Don't say you didn't expect it, I didn't expect it either.

When I heard that the butcher boss offered a high-quality star core fragment to those who participated in the battle every quarter, I thought there was such a good way to make money, and I felt that I had taken a big advantage.

Who would have thought that I would almost die on the first day? Could it be that soldiers in the military live like this every day? "

Suddenly, a Marine passing by from behind gently patted Arnold's shoulder with his hand and comforted:

“Don’t worry, although the alien battlefield on the front line is dangerous, it doesn’t look like this every day.

When there is no war, you can also have a good rest. "

Seeing that the soldier actually took the initiative to comfort himself and others, Arnold said with some embarrassment:

"Thank you. We were quite prejudiced against you military soldiers before. We saw you in trouble and refused to save you. I'm so sorry!"

Hearing this, the soldiers also laughed and said:

"No, no, we looked down on you trash guys before and had a bad attitude.

It is our honor to fight alongside you. "

"Haha, each other!"

It is estimated that even Liu Cheng himself did not expect that these garbage guys and marines would survive a whole night of desperate battles with alien creatures.

They actually started to understand each other and settled their differences.
