“Check if anyone else has broken through…”

Zhao Yu turned around and hoping to see more soldiers escape.

Unfortunately, after about three minutes, the sound of gunfire from the battlefield gradually died down, with only sporadic shots heard. In his mind, he even pictured the scene of the enemy finishing off his soldiers who hadn’t died immediately.

Zhao Yu took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

This was the most significant setback he had faced since his transmigration.

Not only had he lost more than half of his long-accumulated soldiers, but he had also nearly lost his own life.

A commander’s incompetence costs the lives of his troops.

Zhao Yu was filled with remorse and this was all his fault.

He had no scouts and hadn’t even considered the possibility of an ambush. He thought his force of several dozen men, more than ten vehicles, and machine guns would deter any attack.

But now, reality struck hard.

“I don’t even know who they are or when they started targeting me!”

Zhao Yu was filled with a sense of defeat. It was hard enough to gather so many soldiers, only to lose most of them in one fell swoop.

“Whew—!”

He slowly exhaled the pent-up frustration in his chest and looked at the empty road where he had hoped someone might break through. Realizing that no one else would come, he finally gave up hope.

“Let’s go back to the base!”

Zhao Yu came to his senses.

He suddenly realized that this world had no order.

Survival of the fittest was the only truth.

When he was alone, he had encountered kind people like Meng Xian, which helped him survive an ordeal, leading him to mistakenly believe that everyone in this world was good.

Later, with soldiers for protection, he only met good people and never had the chance to see the darker side of human nature.

Until this moment, an ambush by an unknown force made him fully aware.

“Kakaka—!”

The car was battered and broken, but luckily it could still drive smoothly. The four passengers inside were silent, creating a somber atmosphere.

The three soldiers were robots and not triggering any conditions to speak spontaneously.

Meanwhile, Zhao Yu was deep in thought, analyzing the situation they had just encountered.

“They had rocket launchers, machine guns… it’s a significant force…”

“The ambush site was not far from the shelter, they must have been watching us earlier…”

It wasn’t difficult for them to set up an ambush with the vehicles leaving tracks, but the question was who these people were.

“It doesn’t seem like they were targeting the base…”

If they were targeting the base, they could have attacked there.

Zhao Yu felt that this force was probably nearby.

“Wait a minute…”

He was remembering the five survivors they had rescued earlier.

Those five had been sent back to the surface as soon as he had arrived, and he had spent nearly two hours cleaning underground.

By the time he returned to the surface, the survivors had already disappeared.

“If they informed someone… No, that’s not right. They are people from the shelter, who have long been cut off from the outside world. Who could they inform?”

Zhao Yu was puzzled by the rapid appearance of these people.

“Wait a minute!”

He suddenly realized that the shelter’s residents didn’t necessarily need to inform anyone directly.

As soon as they left the shelter and reached any faction’s territory, speaking about the shelter’s situation, it would surely tempt someone.

After all, the resources in the shelter were abundant, with over five hundred tons of food alone. Even he couldn’t resist changing his strategy to station people there permanently. How could other factions resist?

“So, those five survivors must have gone to another faction’s territory and revealed the details about the shelter, attracting disaster…”

This speculation seemed very close to the truth and was logically sound.

After all, the enemy had ambushed them on their return route, not attacking the shelter directly.

This indicated that the enemy knew about the internal situation of the shelter and that they were an external force, planning to return after reaping benefits.

As for their return route, checking the nearby tire tracks would easily reveal their movements.

If this was the case, then the fifteen soldiers he left at the shelter were also likely doomed.

Zhao Yu quickly ordered, “Leave someone behind to erase the tire tracks…”

Soon, a soldier who had lighter injuries and had been bandaged got out of the car.

Currently, with the enemy’s strength, and only 20 soldiers guarding his base, it was difficult to resist.

Therefore, the priority was to avoid exposing the base’s location and plan revenge later.

Fortunately, the distance from this shelter to his base was not short, making it not easy for the enemy to find him quickly.

After some twists and turns, Zhao Yu safely returned to the base.

However, this time, he didn’t rashly enter. Instead, he sent people to scout around to ensure there was no ambush before returning.

The base was indeed normal, with 20 guards still on patrol.

Zhao Yu instructed the few injured soldiers who returned with him to rest, while he stood beside the power station, lost in thought.

[Technology Points: 131]

According to his original plan, he would need to gather 100 Technology Points to produce a Mining Plant. However, with the current situation, Zhao Yu was wondering if he should replenish his soldiers.

After a while.

Zhao Yu made his decision.

“Train the soldiers!”

The Mining Plant would be built sooner or later. The most important thing now was his own safety and revenge!

[Do you wish to spend 80 Technology Points to train 80 soldiers?]

“YpsJ”

[Do you wish to spend 20 Technology Points to train 10 land infantry soldiers?]
