Idle game leads to another world

A voice claiming to be a friendly army suddenly came out of the communicator. So, do you want to go and have a look?

It was obvious that Lieutenant Dui had the highest rank among the people present, and Alyssa and the others could only be considered armed civilians, but he looked up and asked Alyssa's opinion. Seeing her hesitate for a moment and nod, he replied:

"Where are you?"

"Go back to your car, I will continue to guide you."

The crowd had to climb down the stairs and return to the car covered with camouflage cloth. Then two soldiers removed the manhole cover on the street not far away.

Yes, it's the sewer.

Or to be more precise, it should be an underground corridor system. Energy lines, communication lines and other things are all under here, not electric poles, not stinking feces and urine.

The underground corridor is relatively wide for easy maintenance. At least there will be no obstacles for people to walk inside.

The soldier in the front row turned on the tactical flashlight on the gun. As the light circle spread out, several mice were frightened and fled into the darkness.

"Go forward about 50 meters and you'll see me when you turn the corner."

The communicator fell silent, and everyone prepared their guns. Long and Sophia even blocked Alyssa behind them, and everyone walked towards the depths of the tunnel.

According to the instructions, there was a crossroads about 50 meters away, but no one was seen for the time being.

"I'm here."

The sudden voice startled everyone and almost pointed their guns at it.

I saw a bulge suddenly appear on the wall of the passage on one side, and then a man lifted the camouflage blanket covering his body.

He looked short, and his face was hidden under the shadow of the hood, but the uniform was his own.

The uniform of the Planetary Defense Force of the Swirling Water Federation was the same as that of the army, with only slightly different patterns and colors, and it was also a cloak monster.

"Although we are here, we still have to follow the standard procedures. Do you have your ID?"

Dui signaled the other soldiers to move aside, and he walked over and took out his ID.

"It doesn't look like a big problem."

The ID can be forged, of course, but for the current situation of both parties, if they are willing to contact, they don't care whether they are spies.

The man in the shadow obviously put away his gun, and then took out his ID and handed it to Lieutenant Dui.

"It's good to see a friendly face."

Lieutenant Dui was stunned:

"Your voice..."

"It's just a voice changer. At this time, a man's voice is more reliable."

The ID reads Lieutenant Cao Wei, 65th Infantry Regiment of the Planetary Defense Force.

She walked out of the shadow and came under the light of the tactical flashlight. Only then did she see that it was a young woman in her early twenties with freckles on her face.

"I'm a technical lieutenant, obviously a civilian, but now I have to live with my brothers, so naturally I have to use any means."

The two sides saluted each other, and Lieutenant Cao Wei noticed Sophia and Long behind the soldiers (Alyssa was blocked), and asked curiously:

"You are carrying civilians on a secret mission?"

"That's a long story."

"It seems that everyone has not been very comfortable in recent days."

Cao Wei put on her hood again and raised her chin:

"Come with me, let's find a safer place to talk."

She may have lived in the underground tunnel for a while, and is very familiar with the complex environment nearby, and she will hardly hesitate when she encounters a fork in the road.

"What's the situation with the planetary defense team now?"

"It's not clear at all. It may have collapsed."

Cao Wei answered Lieutenant Dui as she walked:

"Everything happened too fast. The sudden interference prevented the evacuation signal from being sent out in time. When the planetary defense team received the order, the assault landing ships of the Red Maple Republic had already come down from the sky and started to sweep."

Lieutenant Dui had been staying in the secret base. He learned from the passive communication equipment that there was chaos outside, but he didn't know the specific situation.

Cao Wei turned back and pointed at her eyes:

"Our base was hit hard. The base commander was burned to ashes by the ion beam in front of me. We were beaten and fled. After that, due to the lack of unified and effective command, we began to fight on our own. At first, we could often see friendly forces in small teams trying to fight the Red Maple Republic, but in the next two days, the number of friendly forces became fewer and fewer."

"Has the communication been completely blocked?"

"Almost. We can't contact the outside world at all. Anyone who tried to contact the fleet is gone now."

While speaking, Cao Wei led everyone to a slightly wider place in the underground corridor.

Some dusty civilians can be seen on both sides of the road. The civilians were very nervous about the appearance of Dui and others, and then they relaxed a little when they saw their military uniforms.

It seems that the days of hiding here and there have been difficult these days.

"Because the evacuation alarm was not activated smoothly, many civilians did not have time to enter the underground shelter. They were slaughtered as "living forces" on the ground. We only managed to save these people."

"I don't seem to see any wounded..."

"All dead."

Cao Wei's calm voice sounded a little trembling.

"You can see that we have no supplies here. After the medical kits and emergency food we carried with us were used up, we had nothing left except bullets."

Leading everyone to an open space, Cao Wei sat down with the gun in her hand. She reached into her bosom and took out a cigarette box, but it was empty.

"Take mine."

Dui handed over his cigarette, and the latter thanked him and took out a cigarette and lit it.

Dui then noticed that two fingers on Cao Wei's left hand were gone, and the bandages had turned gray and black.

"Enough of the misery."

Cao Wei's eyes still had light:

"Let's talk about business. Although I don't know what your mission is, I see that you are planning to enter the warehouse, and I think we can cooperate."

Cao Wei casually drew a simple diagram on the ground with the butt of the gun:

"It is most unwise for you to appear at the main gate. The number of enemy troops in this direction is the largest. According to our daytime reconnaissance, there is at least one reinforced company of soldiers guarding here, and the defenders have heavy equipment such as armored vehicles and drones. It is impossible to get in with just a few guns."

"Do you have a way to let us in?"

"Being a rat for a few days , naturally know some small paths. "

Cao Wei laughed at herself:

"Yes, I have a way to help you, but you have to help me too."

"What do you want?"

"A way to survive."

Cao Wei said without hesitation:

"The planetary defense team is currently in a state of collapse. I have no troops to return to. Although we can continue to fight guerrilla warfare here and entangle with the ground forces of the Red Maple Republic, there is no hope. "

Indeed, without the cooperation of the fleet, and with the near-Earth orbit occupied by the Red Maple Republic, no matter how hard the ground forces try, they are still just flies that can be slapped to death at any time.

"Your uniforms look very new. It should be because you have not been attacked in the past few days. I believe there must be a safe base. I hope you can take us with you when you complete the mission and retreat, at least take our civilians with you."

Cao Wei glanced at the people huddled in the corner, and then turned her eyes back to Dui's face:

"They are almost losing hope."
