Chapter 1298 Star Sea (One Hundred and Two)
Although this ruined city is not big, one can still vaguely see its former prosperity. The long streets are planned in an orderly manner, and the buildings on both sides are staggered. Many car wreckages can be seen among the trees and weeds.
It was obvious that a battle had broken out here. The surfaces of many buildings were severely damaged and there were many large potholes on the road.
Wang Chen even found the wreckage of a crashed aerospace fighter.
The battle in such a small place was so fierce. One can imagine how tragic the scene was when the planet Tempus faced the massive invasion of the Nether Clan!
As Wang Chen moved forward, he used his spiritual power to search.
Due to the suppression of strange energy, he could only narrow the range of psychic detection to within 500 meters, otherwise the consumption of mental power would increase exponentially and he would not be able to persist for a long time.
In this way, Wang Chen searched for more than ten kilometers among the city ruins, but found nothing.
Just as he was about to change direction, suddenly the outward spiritual energy was triggered and produced strong feedback.
Wang Chen immediately looked to the right and quickened his pace without thinking.
A moment later, he saw two figures jumping out from the middle of a building not far away, fleeing from something in panic.
In the blink of an eye, a yellow-brown monitor lizard rushed out and started chasing!
Wang Chen's mind moved, and he immediately "switch" the shotgun in his hand into a large-caliber sniper rifle.
He picked up the sniper rifle and observed the situation through the scope.
The people being chased by the monitor lizard were a boy and a girl. They looked to be about seventeen or eighteen years old. They were wearing tight sportswear, carrying backpacks, and had daggers on their waists.
But they didn't have any weapons in their hands, and the man seemed to be injured, leaving a little blood along the way.
Although the monitor lizard is huge in size, it is very fast.
Seeing that the two were about to be caught up by the ferocious monster, the boy suddenly stopped, pulled out his dagger, and roared: "Run quickly, leave me alone!"
The girl cried, "Brother!"
The boy turned around to face the lizard and roared resolutely: "Go to hell!"
boom!
The next moment, the monitor lizard's head exploded like a watermelon hit by a sledgehammer, and the contents inside instantly sprayed out, splashing all over the face of the brave boy.
The monster spun and flew sideways, still struggling in pain when it landed, its long tail whipping the surrounding grass, making crackling sounds.
boom!
Another 12.7mm high-explosive bomb hit its lower jaw, penetrated into its brain and exploded violently.
Most of the monitor lizard's head was blown off!
This scene stunned both the brother and sister. They stood there in a daze and forgot to wipe the dirt off their faces.
Wang Chen put away his sniper rifle and walked towards the two men.
After a while, the brother and sister finally reacted. The girl threw herself into her brother's arms, her thin body trembling.
The young man tightly grasped the dagger in his hand and looked at Wang Chen who was walking towards him with a vigilant look.
Wang Chen stopped about 20 to 30 meters away from them and said with a smile, "Hello."
To be honest, he was quite surprised because the planet Tempus had fallen three years ago, and despite the brutality and capabilities of the Nether Clan, they had not yet wiped out all the humans on the planet.
Wang Chen doesn't think that this brother and sister are the only survivors!
The boy's face changed, and he hesitated for a moment before saying, "Hello, thank you for saving us."
Wang Chen nodded and asked again: "Who are you?"
The boy was obviously very nervous. He swallowed subconsciously and answered carefully, "My sister and I are reserve citizens of the D01359 base."
On the contrary, his sister was not afraid at all. She blinked her big eyes and looked at Wang Chen with curiosity in her eyes.
"You don't have to be afraid."
Wang Chen smiled and said, "I'm here to look for someone. Can you please see if you have seen these people?"
As he spoke, he took out a stack of photos from his pocket and handed them to the other party.
These photos were specially printed and are personal photos of Xu Chengzhi and his special forces team members.
The boy was surprised to see these brand new photos, but he still took them and looked through them carefully one by one.
Finally, he shook his head and replied, "I haven't seen any of them."
His sister also looked at it and shook her head.
Wang Chen was not disappointed at all. He nodded and said, "Thank you."
The young man returned the photo to Wang Chen and said through gritted teeth, "Sir, are you a combat professional?"
Wang Chen affirmed: "Yes."
"Then I'll take you to the base. Maybe someone has seen it."
Wang Chen smiled.
This little guy is thoughtful, and making such a suggestion is obviously in the hope of gaining his protection.
He asked curiously, "How many people are there in your base?"
In fact, as soon as the other party told him the base number, Wang Chen knew the origins of the brother and sister.
Before the fall of Tempus, it had been built into an outpost fortress by the Empire. Due to the needs of a long-term war, countless underground bases of various sizes were built on this planet.
These bases are divided into four levels according to ABCD, with level D being the largest in number and the smallest in scale.
The boy hesitated for a moment, but still answered: "We still have more than 300 people in our base..."
His expression was very gloomy.
"More than three hundred?"
Wang Chen raised his eyebrows: "What are you doing on the ground? Don't you have enough supplies?"
You should know that a D-level base can accommodate up to 3,000 people, and the normal standard reserve of materials and energy is enough to support the full staffing needs for at least five years.
"Most of the equipment in the base is damaged and unusable, and there are not many reserve supplies left."
The young man smiled bitterly and said, "There aren't many to begin with. If we want to fill our stomachs, we can only search on the ground."
"So that's it."
Wang Chen said calmly: "Then take me to have a look, maybe we can find some clues."
The other party spoke hesitantly, probably because there was some hidden story.
He didn't care about it, he just hoped that someone in the D01359 base had seen Xu Chengzhi.
Although unlikely.
But it is better to have hope than to run around like a headless fly.
Wang Chen took out a first aid kit from his backpack and found an aerosol spray to stop the bleeding and disinfect the boy's wound.
The young man was very grateful: "Thank you, sir. My name is Zhang Shen, and she is my sister Zhang Qian."
Zhang Qian said timidly, "Sir, thank you for saving us."
As soon as she finished speaking, her stomach suddenly made a rumbling sound.
The girl's face suddenly turned red.
Wang Chen smiled and took out two energy bars from his backpack and handed them to them: "Eat them so you can keep going."
As a result, the brother and sister were dumbfounded when faced with the ordinary energy bar: "Ah!"
When Zhang Shen and Zhang Qian tore open the wrapping paper and took big bites of the sweet energy bars, the brother and sister both shed tears.
