Li Chen had been pondering the situation when the sudden voice of another communications officer interrupted his train of thought.
Hearing this, Li Chen came back to his senses and looked at him.
"Commander, should we intercept them?"
the communications officer asked.
Not long after the rescue operation had begun,
the identity verification of survivors at the checkpoint along the Province Y Border had been completed.
All survivors who had yet to obtain legal Star-Level Shelter status
had entered Province Y.
Li Chen had therefore ordered the Fully Automatic Firepower System of the Star-Level Shelter to temporarily cease fire.
This would also save some energy.
It was not because he was stingy.
Nor was it because the Star-Level Shelter could not afford to consume that amount of energy.
There was simply no need.
The current situation was very straightforward.
A new enemy from the Prite Civilization had arrived.
And before they had even reached Earth, they had already shown a complete intention to wipe everyone out.
They had directly deployed an Illusory Colors Barrier,
completely sealing off any possibility of anyone escaping into outer space.
This meant that the coming battle
would very likely be extremely difficult.
They had to conserve every bit of energy if they wanted any chance of winning.
After all, given the Star-Level Shelter's current size,
even its ordinary daily operations consumed an enormous amount of energy, let alone combat.
As the saying went, living off one's reserves would not last forever.
Besides, there were no longer many survivors outside.
If the Third Generation Mutated Zombies wanted to invade, then let them invade to their hearts' content.
After all, Dragon Kingdom was now truly vast and sparsely populated.
They could take care of them slowly once they reached the vicinity of Province Y.
With that in
