The monsters in First Base had been wiped out in a way Liu Zhihao had never imagined.
Reinforcements had arrived, but there was only one person.
Through Shi Tie Zhu, everyone learned that the situation outside was no better. The Vanguard in the sky had not only lost its advantage of commanding heights, it even needed to be rescued. In a little over thirty hours, a group of elderly, weak, women, and children would parachute into First Base. They had no combat capability, but they had to be protected.
As for the other bases on Mars, contact had already been lost. Though no one knew their circumstances, they were surely a complete mess. Monsters ran rampant across all of Mars, and humanity had almost nowhere to stand. No matter how one looked at it, the news was bad.
Time was tight, the tasks were heavy, and the situation was urgent.
Yet strangely enough, the moment Shi Tie Zhu stood before them, everyone immediately felt that even if the sky collapsed, someone would be there to hold it up.
Though they could not see Shi Tie Zhu's face through his helmet visor, everyone instinctively felt that the Old Squad Leader was watching them with a stern yet powerful gaze.
What had come was not an army of thousands, yet he could do things that even an army of thousands might not have been able to do. The feeling was strange, but it existed with undeniable force. Even without saying a word, he gave people an immense sense of support.
That feeling radiated outward at every moment, forming a peculiar charisma and cohesion.
Over the next twelve minutes, Shi Tie Zhu led everyone in clearing First Base. Every mutated monster was dragged out and killed one by one. There was no mercy,
