Chapter 1105: Chapter 816: Black Needle Base_4

“Cough, cough, boss, didn’t you say there was one more thing you’d have me do after finishing up that task? I’m about to leave, what’s the task?”

Sun Duoxiang looked at Su Mo with anticipation, thinking that after finishing his work, the next task would surely be a lucrative one.

Su Mo raised his hand and patted Sun Duoxiang on the shoulder, handing him a note.

“Dig at these coordinates and bring what you find back to the Shadow, without letting anyone see.”

“No problem.”

Sun Duoxiang said joyfully, he knew it, the lucrative task was here.

The boss must have stashed away some good stuff, once he dug it out and had a look, maybe he could ask the boss for some.

…

At Black Needle Base, Spade was discussing with Deputy Logistics Supervisor Franer.

Franer, with a miserable look: “Lord Spade, I really can’t hold on any longer. The main logistics officer went to the Freedom Fortress early to wait for supplies, and now all logistics at the base are dumped on me. We’ve waited half a day without any supplies arriving, everyone’s ready to skin me, I want to be generous, I don’t want to make things difficult for them, but I’m helpless, why don’t you just arrest me, I can’t handle this.”

Spade glanced at him and then said in a deep voice: “Hold the line, if you give up, everything will fall apart.”

“Lord Spade, at least tell me when we’ll have supplies.”

“There are no supplies. We’ve lost contact with Freedom Fortress, which is controlled by Li Ruiqi, and we haven’t re-established communication. It’s highly likely they’re in trouble too.”

Spade replied in a grave tone.

“It’s over.”

Franer immediately collapsed to the ground.

“Don’t let this leak out.”

Spade warned.

“Lord Spade, can’t you borrow some from other Allied Countries?”

Franer asked hopefully.

“Do you think, given how we’re struggling, they’d be any better off? Let me tell you the truth, they’re looking to borrow supplies from us.”

Spade’s words dashed Franer’s last hope.

At that moment, alarms blared throughout Black Needle Base.

Spade frowned, raising his hand to summon a virtual image interface, connecting to Karina in charge of external warnings.

Soon, Karina’s image appeared.

“Lord Spade.”

“What’s happening?”

“A considerable swarm of Alien Species monsters is assaulting Black Needle Base.”

“How large is it?”

“The estimated scale is B+, with the most threatening monster being a regular V-type contaminating Black Barb-tailed Insect King. Wang Hai and Shiris have entered standby status and will soon pilot Fake V Generation Mecha to eliminate it. But to prevent any mutations in the situation, the alarm was triggered. Recently, the assaults have been getting stronger, and we suspect this is the prelude to a larger monster tide.”

Karina responded very efficiently.

“I understand.”

Spade’s expression grew increasingly grim, not to mention any future monster tide, this present assault would surely cause significant casualties.

Later, logistics would be even more strained.

Thinking of this, Spade’s head started hurting more.

Just then, another communication request popped up.

Spade glanced at it and accepted the communication request.

Nadin’s virtual image appeared, she courteously saluted Spade.

“Lord Spade, Expeditionary Army Commander Luo Meng of Yamak Free Country has initiated a highest-level meeting, inviting you and the commanders of the other three nations’ expeditionary armies to participate.”

“I understand.”

Spade responded in a deep voice.

He didn’t need to ask Nadin about the meeting’s agenda, it was clear what the meeting was about. It was obviously about supplies, not just because of the recent assault.

No matter how formidable the attacking monsters, they could find a way to repel them, but the lack of supplies was a hard issue.

…

Outside Black Needle Base, a swarm of monsters surged like a tide.

The temporary weapons mounted on the base’s defensive walls unleashed a barrage of firepower.

This Black Needle Base was also massive, not inferior to the Observer Base, its defensive capability even surpassing that of the Observer Base.

However, it was obvious that this base was a temporary occupation.

It hadn’t been fully repaired, and definitely lacked fully intact defensive fortifications.

Many defensive metal walls were damaged and required manpower for defense.
