Chapter 156 The Abandoned Base

Ten minutes, twenty minutes, half an hour, an hour…

As time passed, the 156th warriors began to feel surprised and uncertain. They hadn't found any creatures in Base Three, neither Blue Devils nor zombies!

The entire Base Three seemed to have become a ghost town overnight. Where had the Blue Devils gone?

"E-3 area clear! Safe!"

"E-5 area clear! Safe!"

"D-2 area clear! Safe!"

"C-3 area clear! Safe!"

"B-5 area… Safe!"

"A-6 area… Safe!"

"A-1 area, nothing found… Safe!!!"

With each report of safety, the warriors of the 156th gradually explored Base Three until the last voice announced that area A-1 was also safe.

When reporting, the warriors still used the area names used when Base Three was under human control, from the inside out: a, b, c, d, e.

Area A-1 was the very center of Base Three, and if it was safe, it could almost be confirmed that the entire Base Three was completely safe!

"What's going on? Did the Controllers abandon this place?"

Hearing the reports, Hu Tao couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Could it be… they want to let us in and then block us from the outside?"

"Impossible!"

Li Chenzhou immediately shook his head. "We're the only ones who came to Base Three. There's no one else outside. The Blue Devils can definitely see that. And we were in the base last night. They don't need to do this at all. If they want to block us, they just need to surround our combat vehicles!"

"This…"

Hu Tao thought about it and it seemed that was the case. They were the only ones who came this time, and they were already in the base last night. The Blue Devils didn't need to empty the base as bait to set an ambush!

"Then they really abandoned the base? That's unlikely, isn't it?" Hu Tao asked in disbelief.

"There are only two possibilities!" Li Chenzhou said, "Either they encountered big trouble and don't have time to worry about the gains and losses of Base Three, so they all evacuated. Or our firepower shocked them and they feel that fighting us head-on is not the best option right now, so they retreated!"

Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, Hu Tao and Dugu Tianfeng exchanged glances, feeling that these seemed to be the only two possibilities.

"Don't think about the Controllers. Our purpose here is to recover Base Three, and now we should have achieved our goal!" Li Chenzhou waved his hand decisively. "So, now you can quickly go to the communication system, activate it, and then transfer manpower here! Be careful to keep it secret, otherwise others may come to steal the fruits of our labor!"

"Right! I'll do it right away!" Hu Tao's heart tightened. Li Chenzhou was right. If the people in the council knew that Base Three had been recovered, they would definitely send someone to take it over!

Hu Tao couldn't be more familiar with Base Three. He immediately called Jin, the captain who had been idle for so long that he was about to grow maggots, and rushed to the communications office with Dugu Tianfeng.

Of course, Dugu Tianfeng was also going. He wanted to transfer all the people from the Avengers Alliance who were loyal to him!

"Everyone, listen up! Immediately split up and go to the various entrances and exits to take over the base's defenses! No one is allowed to enter the base without my, General Hu's, or Lord Dugu's permission!"

Seeing Hu Tao and Dugu Tianfeng leave, Li Chenzhou immediately issued orders to the warriors of the 156th. Actually, their manpower was seriously insufficient to take over the defense of the entire Base Three, but for the time being, he only had these people available and could only make do.

At least they had to hold the base first to prevent others from stealing the fruits of their labor. After all, there were people from the Liu family and the Wang family here. Who knew if they had passed on any messages to others?

Although these people had betrayed humanity and become the Controllers' lackeys, they should have connections with people in the human world, so the possibility of them telling others about the situation here could not be ruled out!

However, even Li Chenzhou did not expect that they would be able to completely take down Base Three so quickly. Presumably, others would not have thought of it either.

For them, taking back Base Three was definitely a protracted affair. Who would have thought that Li Chenzhou would completely recover it in just less than three days?

Upon receiving Li Chenzhou's orders, the warriors of the 156th immediately dispersed and went to the various entrances and exits. They were still in groups of three, each group responsible for guarding one entrance and exit. As for how to allocate them, Li Yun and the others who were familiar with the base would naturally decide!

Soon, the entire base was under control. However, guarding the entrances and exits was already the limit for the warriors of the 156th. As for the base itself, they didn't have time to manage it for the time being. They couldn't even spare the manpower to clean up the bodies of the Blue Devils and zombies that they had killed in the past two days.

Now, they were just waiting for Hu Tao and Dugu Tianfeng's people to arrive. Once they arrived, the pressure on manpower here would be instantly relieved!

At this time, Hu Tao and Dugu Tianfeng also contacted their own people in other bases. They transferred all manpower under the guise of training and had them all rush to Base Seven.

Because Li Chenzhou had left from Base Seven before, and at that time he didn't say anything about recovering Base Three, so even though Li Chenzhou was not in Base Seven now, others didn't think too much about it.

In particular, Hu Tao and the others had already selected a group of people before, and those who failed to be selected had complained a lot about Li Chenzhou in front of others because they were dissatisfied, making it almost known to everyone.

Therefore, without any obstruction, Hu Tao and Dugu Tianfeng's people all rushed from various bases to Base Seven. After staying in Base Seven for a while, they went to Base Three in batches.

"Xiao Li! All my people add up to about fifteen thousand. These are all soldiers who are absolutely loyal to me. I haven't let the others who I'm not sure about come over yet!"

In the center of the base, Hu Tao said to Li Chenzhou.

"I have more than thirteen thousand people!" Dugu Tianfeng also said, "They are all loyal to me too. When they get here, I will hand them all over to you for full command. Do whatever you want, just do it! I will fully support you!"

"Good! In that case, I am confident that I can turn this place into the most powerful human base in the Duoluo world!!!" Li Chenzhou looked at Dugu Tianfeng and Hu Tao and smiled…
