On the third day after moving to the new camp, Shen Huichuan and Liu Jinhuan brought back a group of survivors.This should be the largest group of survivors, with a total of sixty sentries and nearly ten guides.Among them are not only the officers of the Empire and the Federation, a few sentinels of the mercenary regiment, but also several guides from the radical faction, the guide military doctor, and three or four healer guides who are already in a state of shock.

When they finally came to the camp, Li Zhenhang and You An, who turned their heads to look at the past, changed their expressions almost instantly.Seeing the two major generals in real life, the surviving officers of the empire couldn't help but immediately blushed.One of the tall and burly colonels saluted them immediately: "Report to Major General Li, Major General Tia, Lieutenant General He, Lieutenant General He... has died in the line of duty! There are currently 24 people alive in the three teams, and 14 people are seriously injured. [-] people were slightly injured!!"

"Treat the wound first, and explain the details later." Li Zhenhang patted the colonel on the shoulder.The opponent is the only SS rank sentinel sent by the empire this time, and its combat effectiveness is also ranked first in the entire empire.Now even his body is covered with large and small wounds, and bleeding from time to time, one can imagine how fierce battles they have encountered.The injuries of other people will only be more serious than his, and the shock and shake in their hearts will only be more intense than his.

The colonel nodded, and sat silently in front of the guide doctors with his head down, clenched his fists lightly.Many people reacted more violently than him, and even showed typical PTSD (post-traumatic syndrome) symptoms. in the camp.

"There should be no survivors." Li Zhenhang said in a low voice, his eyes shifted from the imperial officer to the federal officer, and by the way, he glanced at the dejected S-rank sentinel survivors of the mercenary regiment, "All those who survived probably died. Here, it is almost impossible for any miracle to happen."

The officers sent by the Imperial Army to participate in the mission this time included a total of eighty S-rank sentinels, five healing S-rank guide medics, and five neutral A-rank guide medics.But now, they only have 39 sentinels and six military doctors left.

One-half of the loss rate does not seem to be very serious.But don't forget that they are all "rescued" now, and they are not completely out of trouble.If Shen Huichuan hadn't brought the Bian Que mercenary group to find them, perhaps not more than one fifth of the people would have escaped from this planet.

"The situation in the Federation is similar to ours. The sentinels in the mercenary group have a higher loss rate, and now there are less than 30 people left." Youan's expression looked a little gloomy, "So many people died, just to collect some An unknown medicinal herb. Do you think it is necessary to continue this mission?"

"Whether it is necessary to continue, the decision-making power does not lie with us, but with the headquarters." Li Zhenhang's answer was still so rational, "Of course, we must first contact the headquarters before we can get the next step instructions. Therefore, everyone must first return to the headquarters. Go to the starship and rest for a while before talking."

"You really should go back to the starship as soon as possible. It's dangerous for a group of wounded to stay on this planet." Shen Huichuan agreed, but there was no mention of the next plan of the Bian Que mercenary group between the lines.Li Zhenhang and You An naturally sensed what he meant, and they were a little anxious: "You still want to stay?! Why do you stay?!"

"Of course it is to complete the task." Liu Jinhuan next to him added with a full face as a matter of course, "We still have one task that has not been completed, so we cannot leave." Everyone knows that every minute and every second of staying on this planet is full of life. However, Joshua's entrusted mission had to continue.This is his promise to Joshua, and more importantly, the mission target is also his biological father.If he wants to completely cut off the blood relationship, he can't use the grace of saving his life to repay the love of flesh and blood, or use the love of collecting corpses as the last act of filial piety.

"It's such a time, what else do you care about?" You An frowned, "Go back with us." It was rare for him to show a tough expression on Shen Huichuan, as if he only allowed the other party to choose one answer, absolutely It seems that the second answer cannot be tolerated.

Liu Jinhuan raised his brows lightly, and a blood red appeared in his eyes.Shen Huichuan gently pressed his hand calmly, and he tightly held the slender palm with his backhand, refusing to let go again.The movements of the master and the apprentice were hidden under the loose protective clothing, and neither Li Zhenhang nor You An, who were sitting opposite them, noticed it.Their attention was still focused on Shen Huichuan's reaction, and Shen Huichuan's reaction was - there was no special reaction.

"Most members of the mercenary group left with you and returned to the starship to rest and stand by. As for whether you need to continue the mission, my opinion is 'no'. No matter what you two think, you must let the command change. Idea. It doesn’t matter if it’s a trick, or any trick, as long as it works.”

"There is no need for any bitter tricks at all." Liu Jinhuan took over the words, "As long as they look at the current morale, it is enough to explain the problem. This group of people seems to have a little bit of PTSD now, and the symptoms will be possible after they get out of trouble. Completely broke out. If the treatment is not timely, maybe there will be rage patients. S-level sentinel rage patients mean N indefinite time bombs that can destroy a planet, I don’t think they will like it.”

"Do you have to stay?" Li Zhenhang was a little helpless, and You An was even more unhappy.

"We must stay." Shen Huichuan lowered his eyes, "There are more important things besides the task of enjoying the talk." According to Joshua, Brother Lin's jade hairpin should have been found on this planet.In the descriptions of other survivors, this planet also has relics left by humans—to be precise, they should be relics left by practitioners.Therefore, he must find the so-called "remains", collect the remains of the deceased, and bury or take away their relics.This is the responsibility he should fulfill, and it is also the cause and effect that he should end.

"It's actually not that important to discuss whether to stay or not." Liu Jinhuan glanced at the Healing guides gathered together from a distance, "Let's think about how to leave this planet first. With the hands of the mech Speed ​​cannot get rid of the gravitational field of the planet. What did you think when you were planning the mission? Did you make any special preparations?"

The four discussed in low voices. Not far from them, several high-level military officers of the empire were also discussing something.Their leader, the lieutenant general, also died, and another SS-level major general disappeared, and now only the female major general is left as a general-level officer.

In the corner, Rex twisted the food slightly, warmed it up with friction, took it out and handed it to Ms. Abby.After recuperating, Ms. Abby's complexion is much better than the previous few days.The previous self-doubt and despair have long since disappeared from her body, and she is still the S-rank guide with meticulously combed silver hair, who looks kind and gentle, but is actually extremely strong: "Rex, let's count, our healing guides are still there. How many people are left."

"Including us, there are 13 people, and four of them are military doctors." Rex replied, "If you add the radical guides and the neutral military doctors, there are 20 people in total." It is as high as two-thirds, which is simply an unimaginable and terrible loss.Most of the rest were also seriously injured and lay in the rescue cabin, and it was unknown when they would recover.Even if the body is barely healthy, the spirit of many guides is on the verge of collapse, and they are basically equivalent to disabled people.

Ms. Abby was silent for a while, and glanced at the busy neutral guides in the distance.They seemed to be packing up their things. The tents and collected medicinal herbs were stuffed into the space ring, as if they were planning to transfer again.What is dazzling is not only their healthy and vigorous appearance, but more importantly, they have always maintained a mental state full of enthusiasm and hope.Moreover, as far as she knew, not a single person from the neutral faction had died so far.

"I don't know if they want to continue the mission." Rex sighed, "Almost all the survivors have been found, but everyone's mental state is not very good. Ms. Abby, do you think there is any way to cheer everyone up? What? I have persisted on this planet for so long, if nothing is brought back in the end, wouldn’t so many people be sacrificed in vain?”

"..." Ms. Abby was deep in thought, thinking over and over again about the enormous pressure that the healing faction is now bearing.If she dies, blame her for all the mistakes, and both the healing faction and Chairman Kang Yanzhen can get rid of the pressure of public opinion to some extent.As a dead person, since she knew nothing, there was no need to care about her fame and interests, and it didn't matter if she was blamed or not.

However, now that she is not dead, if she is faced with the same predicament, can she bear it?

No, of course not.She has no way to accept such a failure, let alone endure accusations from the whole world.Ruin, even imprisonment - what a terrible end would that be?Even scarier than death.If she still had a second option, why not try it?As long as someone is willing to support her, why not try?

Early the next morning, Bai Yuan announced again that they had to start the migration immediately.Moreover, this time they not only need to relocate the camp, they should also prepare to leave the planet as soon as possible. "This place is too dangerous for you. It is not recommended for sentinel guides with combat effectiveness below the SS rank to stay on this planet. Whether you want to or not, you must leave. If you want to stay and die, you can do whatever you want. I won't do it again." Responsible for your safety."

"Is this the opinion of the Bian Que mercenary regiment?" The federal female major general looked at Shen Huichuan with piercing eyes, "The mission you received from the headquarters has already been completed? Don't you plan to continue the protection mission?"

"Yes, the headquarters only hoped that we would 'retrieve' the survivors, or 'contain' the victims, and did not mention the need to continue to protect you to complete the mission." Shen Huichuan said, "So, we have fulfilled our responsibilities. Whether to return to the starship or continue the mission is your choice and has nothing to do with us."

"In this situation, if we want to continue to complete the mission, there is almost no possibility of success." Li Zhenhang said, "I have decided on behalf of the Imperial Army that we will collectively return to the starship and wait for the order from the command before deciding whether to continue. "

"I..." The major general of the Federation was about to speak, when suddenly, a strong voice interrupted her: "The mission must continue." Everyone followed the voice and saw Ms. Abby walking through the crowd firmly, step by step. Walking in front of Bai Yuan, Li Zhenhang and others: "We have paid so much, if it ends like this, aren't those people's sacrifices in vain?"

"If you are worried about safety issues, we have hidden well these days without any casualties. This shows that we have found the trick to live on this planet. As long as we persist for a while, we will definitely find out what we want The herbs we need will definitely be able to complete the task. Obviously victory is in sight, why do we have to give up halfway at this time?"
