Chapter 191 Day 2, Pre-war Mobilization

After previous experiments with Liu Cheng, Augustine knew that the two Archeopteryx birds he killed did not contain much luck elements in their bodies, and the complete star cores could not be dissected from their bodies.

He was not in a hurry to bring their bodies back, and planned to wait until the support troops arrived.

After dawn, twenty garbage men took advantage of the alien creatures' retreat and went down to the waterfall to dissect the corpses of second- and third-level alien creatures.

The Marines also took advantage of this period to continue laying mines.

However, the garbage man returned early after working for a while.

As for the reason, it was that the cargo hold of Augustine's almost half-scrap medium-sized spaceship could not hold new sealed cans.

Augustine sighed and said:

"Following you through the battles for days, the efficiency of collecting alien biological tissues and organs is quite fast, but there is no time to return to the central star field to sell the harvest on the battlefield.

It seems that after the military's reimbursement comes down, it would be better to take out loans to buy two larger spaceships.

One is used to transport collections on the battlefield, and the other is used to transport cargo back and forth between the central star domain and the frontline star domain. "

Liu Cheng nodded, agreeing with Augustine's idea and said:

"Okay, but it's best not to buy this semi-civilian, semi-combat model of spaceship, and just buy two combat ships.

If we can't get approval for the purchase of battleships from the United Galaxy's Human Government, I will go to the commander of our Corps to intercede and ask him to order two ships for our company from the military's trade department. "

Augustine was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then asked in confusion:

"Butcher, you should know that the company founded by the two of us is a garbage commercial company with the purpose of making profit and collecting star cores.

It's not some space mercenary company whose purpose is combat security, right? ? "

Hearing this, Liu Cheng began to reflect on himself:

"Well, from what you said, it's really not appropriate to buy two combat ships."

Augustine nodded happily and said to Liu Cheng:

"Yes, the cargo space of a combat ship is only a quarter of that of a transport ship, and the daily fuel consumption and weapon maintenance costs are much higher. It is better to buy two transport ships..."

As a result, before Augustine finished speaking, Liu Cheng finished his self-reflection and continued:

"Then just buy a combat ship and a transport ship."

"..."

Augustine was speechless.

"Hey, butcher, are you listening to me? Is this a matter of buying just one battleship?"

Liu Cheng was surprised when he heard this and asked:

"Ah? Could it be that senior still thinks it is better to buy two battleships?

Let me just say, when the time comes, let’s take out loans to buy two combat ships! "

Augustine decided not to pay attention to this guy butcher today. He didn't respect his senior at all. He was really angry!

The garrison soldiers in the base had a simple breakfast in the morning and then began to stand guard again.

However, at the entrance of the valley, the alien creatures gathered seemed too quiet, and they did not launch an attack until noon.

Reluctantly, the commander of the Marine Corps had no choice but to ask some soldiers to go down to rest first and began to take turns to stand guard and change shifts.

Otherwise, they would all stand guard on the city wall and maintain a high level of vigilance for a long time, which would be a huge drain on their physical and mental energy for incompetent ordinary people.

When the alien creature army really attacks, it will definitely affect their overall combat effectiveness.

In the afternoon, Liu Cheng and other four soldier captains all stood on the metal wall on the cliff.

Liu Cheng held a multifunctional military telescope in his hand and looked toward the entrance of the valley. When he saw Augustine, he put down the telescope.

Augustine reached the top of the hundreds of meters high city wall with a few leaps. Liu Cheng and the others asked curiously:

"How's it going? Isn't there any action on the alien creature side?"

Augustine shook his head and said:

"No, but after retreating from other military bases, more and more alien creatures are gathering here, more than doubling the size last night.

It gives me a feeling that a storm is coming. The larger the storm, the calmer it is before it starts. "

Liu Cheng and others nodded, and Soldier Captain Zijian said:

"It seems that the alien creatures have guessed that our human support is about to arrive this time, and plan to give us a big wave before then.

Either they will surround us all, or we will kill them all when support arrives.

They want to finish their work in one battle. "

"Well, it's hard to succeed or die. Alien creatures are also intelligent creatures. They have ideas that humans have, and they also have ideas that humans don't.

Captain Zijian, how much canned meat supplies do we currently have? Is it enough for the soldiers to eat for a day? "

Liu Cheng asked.

Captain Zijian checked the military action log on his computer, found the number of canned meats in the daily material records, and replied:

“Three meals a day is fine, any more is not enough.”

Liu Cheng nodded and said:

"Okay, let the soldiers have a good dinner tonight.

Since the alien creatures are planning to make a big effort and burn the boat once and for all, then we should also mobilize before the war to give the soldiers some blood! "

"Well, don't worry, Captain Butcher, we will arrange this matter!"

After a few people left, only Augustine and Liu Cheng were left standing on the metal city wall.

Liu Cheng looked towards the entrance of the valley in the distance with a solemn expression.

Augustine saw this and joked:

"How's it going? Do you have the confidence to survive tonight?"

Liu Chengdao:

"It's impossible to be absolutely confident, but I'd better try my best. After all, I still have a family that I need to take care of, and I don't want to die on the battlefield like this.

By the way, Senior Augustine, I want to discuss something with you. "

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Liu Cheng rarely spoke to him in such a serious manner, and Augustine immediately became interested.

Liu Cheng thought for a while and said:

"I know that the entire value of the senior is on your company and mine, but if the military fortress falls tonight, please leave me alone and escape with the garbage employees.

These garbage employees are not soldiers and do not have a formal military establishment. If they die here, the military will not pay pensions to their families.

As for saving me, there is no need. I am a soldier and there is no way I can leave my comrades and escape alone. "

Augustine was about to say something, but then he thought of the weird tempers of Liu Cheng and the other coalition government soldiers, so he swallowed his words of persuasion.

He smiled and said:

"I understand, I will respect your wishes and let you live and die together with your comrades."

Liu Cheng looked at Augustine gratefully and said:

"Thank you for your understanding, senior."

However, Augustine was filled with slander.

"Huh, just kidding, how could I ignore someone like you who hopes to improve my cultivation!

When it's time to run for your life, the worst case scenario is that I'll knock you and the two guys called Bing Jing and Crow unconscious, and take them all away with you! "
