Chapter 505 The Lost Supply Convoy

Chapter 505 The Lost Supply Convoy

"What?!" Lieutenant General Magino yelled in disbelief. He stared at the soldier who reported the message for a few seconds, then turned around suddenly and turned on the holographic projection that was turned off not long ago. map.

The dozen or so blue dots that were still approaching the base in the northeast direction just now seemed to have never existed - if Maginot hadn't been staring at the supply convoy for the whole morning, he would have wondered if he had happened. Hallucination.

That's an urgently needed supply for the base of more than a dozen cars!It also includes fresh pork and vegetables that he can only eat once a week. He is really tired of this kind of canned synthetic meat that has been stored for many years... Of course, for the "self-proclaimed love of soldiers like children For Lieutenant General Maginot, this little personal material enjoyment is only secondary, and what is more important is the remaining items on the dozen or so vehicles, which are all the soldiers stationed at the Mukahe base for a week. Ration!

There is no food synthesis factory in the Mukah base, only a very small hydroponic farm that can only grow some bean sprouts and white radish. If this cart of supplies cannot be delivered to the base, it means that the next period Here, more than 10,000 people in the base have to rely on emergency dry food to survive.

Magino just checked the inventory list in the morning. There are about more than 2000 cans of emergency dry food in the base, and more than 5000 bags of compressed biscuits... It sounds like a lot, but after being distributed to more than 10,000 mouths, at most one Can last for two days.

If the supplies cannot be retrieved within two days, or the support from the Ark cannot be obtained, the base will run out of food!

"Damn it...was the previous military director an idiot? A base of this size can only store food for two days...even I, who was born in the garrison, know that the first-line bases must store at least half a month's worth of emergency supplies Rations... such a large shortage of supplies, could it be that that bastard embezzled it?" The first time he saw this list, Machino thought that he had to report to his superiors The military chief was suspected of corruption, but he hadn't written the report yet, and the base's supply crisis suddenly fell on him.

"Hurry up and send the mobile reconnaissance company out to find the missing convoy! The supplies must be recovered!" Maginot ordered.

However, the soldier did not immediately turn around and pass on his order, but hinted something to Lieutenant General Maginot with his eyes anxiously.

"What are you looking at me for? Hurry up and deliver the order! If you can't find the supplies, everyone will go hungry in two days!" Magino glanced at the other party's armband, and then he noticed that this man in combat uniform and steel helmet The guy is not an ordinary soldier, but an officer with the rank of major.

It's just that Lieutenant General Maginot has just arrived, and he hasn't recognized the names of all the officers under his command, and he won't be able to call out the major's name for a while. He only remembers that this guy seems to be the battalion commander of a reinforced battalion of the combat force.

Seeing that Magino was completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem, the major took a deep breath, and then said in a deep voice: "General! The location where the convoy's signal disappeared is only [-] kilometers away from the base... The road conditions in this area are very stable. Now is not the migration period, and there will be very few large-scale indigenous creatures... There is only one possibility for the convoy to disappear, they were attacked by heretic sects! And the number of enemies is definitely quite a lot!"

He took a breath and continued: "A small group of exiles or followers of heretical sects would not dare to attack our convoy so close to the base, because as long as the signal of the convoy disappears, the convoy will They will be caught up by the troops sent by the base within a short distance... I think this may be a premeditated attack, and the target of the attack is not the supply convoy, but here!"

"You mean, they came rushing to the Mukahe base? The convoy was attacked, but they just happened to be hit by them?" Machino was taken aback, and asked hastily—he was sitting too comfortably in his seat. It has been a long time, and the mindset has not changed for a while. When the convoy is missing, his first reaction is the loss of supplies... But this major is different. He has been at the Mukahe base for four full years. A solid front-line elite veteran.

There is such a sentence in several other units of the Field Corps to describe these soldiers stationed at the "Mukah" military base: This group of people never take off their coats and shoes when they sleep at night. It must be loaded, and the suicide note was written long ago and stored in the mailbox—although some exaggeration is inevitable, the high vigilance of these soldiers can be seen from this sentence.

"Yes! Just sending out a mobile reconnaissance company is not enough. Please order the general to put the entire base into a state of first-level combat readiness immediately! Call back all combat units on duty outside the base, and at the same time request support from the Ark and the fleet closest to here!"

"This..." Magino originally wanted to say, "This is too motivating." According to the information he got, the large troops of the heretic sect should have been sent to the molten mine area. It is impossible to gather a group of combat forces at this time. Come attack the Mukah base.But he thought about it again, what if the heretic sect really split up and acted?Or, the invasion of the Molten Mine was just a feint, and the real target was the Mukahe base where he was stationed?
It is always right to be cautious, as the saying goes: be careful sailing for ten thousand years, Machino would rather be ridiculed by his colleagues as a coward afterwards than lose his life because of his own negligence.

"Just do as you said!" Machino said, "By the way, isn't there our outpost on the outskirts of the base? Ask the outpost to send a few drones to the place where the convoy disappeared to see what's going on. ?”

"General... Not only did the convoy's signal disappear, but all four outposts in that direction also lost contact." The major said solemnly, glancing down at the personal terminal strapped to the inside of his wrist.

"The four outposts... all lost contact? I remember that the one closest to the base is less than twenty kilometers away?" Magino frowned, "This distance can be seen from the watchtower of the base When we arrived, the sentry on duty at the top of the tower didn't see any movement?"

"The sentinel just reported once ten seconds ago, and no abnormalities were observed."

"Damn, what a hell—" Magino tugged at his collar a little irritably, "There is nothing abnormal, why did the outpost lose contact? Is it electromagnetic interference?"

"Electromagnetic interference was not detected either..." the major replied, "The four outposts lost contact in sequence according to their distance, with an interval of less than three seconds...something is rapidly approaching the base!"
