Volume 4: Biochemical Attack Chapter 640 They Are Just Mercenaries
Fortunately, the footage from Li Jiu's side showed that they had just returned to the Seventh Division base and everything was normal.
Donna couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but she still stared at the picture on the floating screen in front of her.
After all, although Li Jiu and his team have returned to the Seventh Division base, they are still outside the alliance territory, so they may be attacked by the enemy at any time!
Therefore, only when she saw Li Jiu and the others return to the alliance's territory with her own eyes could Donna truly feel at ease.
…
At the same time, in the Seventh Division base, Li Jiu and his team had just got off the Thunder Chariot.
"Lieutenant Colonel Li Jiu, thank you for your hard work!" Next to the tank, Major Zhao Hu and a few others greeted them with a smile when they returned.
"It's nothing. This is our mission. We just did what we should do." Li Jiu said with a calm smile.
"Lieutenant Colonel, I'm sure you must be anxious to return to the Alliance as soon as possible. The plane is waiting. Please come this way." Major Zhao Hu pointed in the direction of the airport and said enthusiastically.
"Okay, thank you very much." Li Jiu nodded.
Then, he and his team members followed Major Zhao Hu and headed towards the airport.
"By the way, Major Zhao Hu, there is something I want to ask you." Li Jiu asked thoughtfully as he walked .
"Lieutenant Colonel Li Jiu, please go ahead." Major Zhao Hu responded immediately.
"What I want to ask is, why was your operation delayed this time?" Li Jiu asked.
Logically speaking, since he had enabled the sharing of the battle interface, when he killed the defender colonel, the people of the Seventh Division would be able to see it immediately and start to act.
But in the end, it was not until three minutes later that the Seventh Division launched the attack, which made Li Jiu feel a little confused.
"I don't know much about this matter. After all, I am only responsible for logistics support in the base. As for the combat operations, I still have to ask the people in the Operations Department." Major Zhao Hu shook his head and smiled, but then changed the subject and said, "However, I heard that the reason for the delay in the operation seems to be that before the operation began, we received a temporary order from above to give you some time to retreat."
"Oh? There is such an order?" Li Jiu asked in surprise.
You know, in the military, orders are as heavy as a mountain. How can they be changed overnight?
For a major event like the Seventh Division's all-out offensive, once the time of action is determined in advance, it basically will not be easily changed!
After all, this operation involves the participation of tens of thousands of allied troops. Once the order is changed, it will affect the entire body and many deployments will need to be readjusted!
This is a very troublesome matter. If some deployments are not adjusted properly, it may even destroy the entire action plan and cause a large number of innocent deaths.
Therefore, Li Jiu found it hard to believe that the alliance would risk tens of thousands of troops just for the five of them.
"Yes, this order is indeed a bit unreasonable, especially since it was suddenly issued ." Major Zhao Hu was also a little puzzled.
Li Jiu nodded thoughtfully and said nothing more.
No matter what the reason was, this order helped himself and his teammates a lot, and it could even be said to have saved everyone's lives.
…
There was no conversation along the way, and soon everyone arrived at the airport.
At first glance, everyone immediately saw the transport plane they had taken when they arrived.
Then, he walked over quickly with excitement.
As long as we get on this transport plane, the mission will basically be accomplished.
Everything that everyone could do had already been done in the previous battles.
After that, Li Jiu and his teammates didn’t need to do anything else. They just had to wait to return to the competition venue.
As for the final result of the game, we can only leave it to fate.
"call out!"
However, just as everyone was walking towards the transport plane, they suddenly heard a sharp whistling sound coming from the air!
"Hmm? This is..."
Everyone's expressions became startled and they subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.
Suddenly, a beam of hot white energy shot down from the clouds in the northeast sky and headed straight for the base!
"boom!"
The energy beam arrived in an instant, and the next moment, in front of everyone's astonished gaze, it suddenly hit the solid wall of the base!
Suddenly, not far away, the solid wall made of several meters thick reinforced concrete collapsed!
Almost at the same time, the turret in the base suddenly shot out a green beam of light, heading straight for the clouds in the sky!
"boom!"
The next moment, there was a loud bang, and there seemed to be something in the clouds, which was immediately destroyed by the base's artillery.
"This..." Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked and their faces changed drastically.
Enemy attack!
The base was attacked by the enemy!
In an instant, this thought appeared in everyone's mind at the same time.
"Hurry! Get on the plane!" Li Jiu was the first to react and shouted immediately.
No matter what kind of attack this base suffers next, it has nothing to do with you all!
What he and his teammates need to do next is to get on the plane immediately and return to the league!
Although, it seems a bit inappropriate to leave on your own when the alliance base is under attack.
But for Li Jiu and others, this is not a matter of running away!
After all, you know, they are just mercenaries!
The mercenaries' duty is only to carry out the orders issued by the alliance. As for things on the front battlefield, the regular army will handle them, which has little to do with them.
Of course, if it were normal times, Li Jiu might have stayed with his teammates to help the alliance army fight.
But it doesn’t work this time!
Because we are still in the city-level competition, every minute and every second is crucial to us!
Maybe, just because of a difference of one second, everyone might miss the city championship!
Therefore, everyone’s top priority now is to immediately board the transport plane in front and head straight to the alliance territory!
"clear!"
"receive!"
Hearing Li Jiu's order, the team members responded one after another.
Having said that, he and Li Jiu quickly rushed towards the transport plane in front!
Looking at the actions of Li Jiu and the others, Major Zhao Hu next to them did not say much.
After all, he also knew that Li Jiu and the others were not from the military and had no obligation to stay and help them.
"Follow me!" After looking at Li Jiu and others who left on their own, Major Zhao Hu suddenly turned his head to look at the gap in the base wall and said in a deep voice to the soldiers beside him.
Then, he rushed over quickly with these soldiers, ready to fight the next invading enemy.
“Roar!” “Roar!”…
Unexpectedly, at this moment, a violent roar of a beast suddenly came from the gap in the wall.
