Wang Dong furrowed his brow. "Why do I get the feeling that Forward Base is less than thrilled about our arrival?"
"Less than thrilled" was, in fact, putting it mildly.
That was how Wang Dong saw it.
During the meeting just now,
the commander of Forward Base hadn't even shown up.
The deputy commander had offered nothing but perfunctory courtesies throughout. It felt like he was just going through the motions.
There hadn't been the slightest sign of the joy and welcome one would expect at the arrival of reinforcements.
"Did we somehow offend someone without realizing it?"
Wu Baiyi mused.
"We haven't done anything, have we?
Besides, we made the entire journey straight here and arrived two months before the deadline.
Isn't that enough?"
Shi Zunhou's eyes widened.
"Mada, see if you can find out what's going on."
Wang Dong didn't dwell on it.
He gave the order in a low voice.
Mada readily agreed.
The abnormal attitude from Forward Base was worth investigating,
but it wasn't an urgent matter.
They had just met with the deputy commander.
Although the other party's attitude had seemed somewhat perfunctory,
he had still completed the required procedures.
For instance, he had given them the Operation Manual for the outer-domain battlefield.
And the Sky Peng Horizontal had its intermediate access on the Kindling Network unlocked.
"We have ten days to rest and regroup.
After that, we'll officially begin carrying out Battlefield Missions.
Before then, we need to master the basic procedures for the outer-domain battlefield and understand what comes with intermediate access to the Kindling Network."
Xu Zhenzhi advised.
No one objected. It was only common sense.
The Operation Manual for the outer-domain battlefield wasn't complicated.
Eight main sections and thirty-seven subsections.
It covered nearly all the rules they would need to follow
