Idle game leads to another world.

Chapter 1120 A way to survive
Suddenly, a voice claiming to be a friendly force came from the communicator. So, should we go and take a look?
Obviously, Lieutenant Dui had the highest rank among the people present, and Alyssa and the others could only be considered armed civilians, but he looked up and asked Alyssa's opinion. Seeing her hesitate for a moment and nod, he replied:
"Where are you?"

"Return to your vehicles and I will continue to direct you."

Everyone had to climb down the stairs the same way they came and return to the car that had been casually covered with camouflage cloth. Then two soldiers removed the manhole cover on the street not far away.

Yes, the sewer.

Or to be more precise, there should be an underground pipeline system underneath. Energy lines, communication lines and other things are all underneath, not telephone poles, and not the stinking feces and urine.

The underground tunnel is relatively wide to facilitate maintenance, so at least there will be no obstacles for people walking inside.

The soldier in the front row turned on the tactical flashlight on his gun, and as the circle of light spread out, several rats were frightened and fled into the darkness.

"Walk about fifty meters forward and you'll see me when you turn the corner."

The communicator fell silent immediately. Everyone prepared their guns. Long and Sophia even put Alyssa behind them, and everyone walked towards the depths of the corridor.

Following the instructions, there was a crossroads about fifty meters away, but no one was seen for the time being.

"I am here."

The sudden sound startled everyone and they almost pointed their guns at the person.

Suddenly, a bulge appeared on the wall of one side of the passage, and then a person lifted the camouflage blanket covering his body.

He looked short, with his face hidden by the shadow of his hood, but his military uniform belonged to one of his own.

The uniforms of the Swirl Federation Planetary Defense Force look the same as those of the military, with only slightly different patterns and colors, and they are also cloaked monsters.

"Even though we're here, we still have to follow standard procedures. Do you have your ID?"

Dui motioned to the other soldiers to move aside and he walked over and took out his ID.

"It doesn't look like there's any big problem."

Of course, documents can be forged, but given the current situation of both parties, if they are willing to contact each other, they no longer care whether they are spies or not.

The man in the shadows obviously put away his gun, then took out his ID and handed it to Lieutenant Dui.

“It’s nice to see friendly faces.”

Lieutenant Dui was stunned:
"Your voice……"

"It's just a voice changer. Men's voices are more reliable at times like this."

The certificate reads: 65th Infantry Regiment of the Planetary Defense Force, Lieutenant Cao Wei.

She walked out of the shadows and into the light of the tactical flashlight, and then she saw that it was a young woman in her early twenties with freckles on her face.

"I'm a technical lieutenant, a civilian position, but now I have to survive with my brothers, so I have to use whatever means I can."

The two sides saluted each other. Lieutenant Cao Wei noticed Sophia and Long behind the soldiers (Alyssa was blocked) and asked curiously:

"You're carrying civilians on a secret mission?"

"That's a long story."

"It seems that everyone has not been very comfortable in recent days."

Cao Wei put on her hood again and raised her chin:

"Come with me, let's find a safer place to talk."

She may have lived in the underground tunnel for some time and was very familiar with the complex environment nearby. She would hardly hesitate when encountering a fork in the road.

"What's the situation with the Planetary Defense Force now?"

"I have no idea. Maybe it has collapsed."

As Cao Wei walked, she answered Lieutenant Dui, "Everything happened too fast. The sudden interference prevented the evacuation signal from being sent out in time. When the planetary defense team received the order, the Red Maple Republic's assault landing ships had already descended from the sky and started to sweep."

Lieutenant Dui had been staying in the secret base. He learned through passive communication equipment that there was chaos outside, but he did not know the specific situation.

Cao Wei turned around and pointed at her eyes:

"Our base was hit hard, and the base commander was burned to ashes by an ion beam in front of me. We were beaten and fled. After that, due to the lack of unified and effective command, we began to fight on our own. At the beginning of the day, we could often see friendly forces in small teams trying to fight the Red Maple Republic, but in the next two days, the number of friendly forces became less and less."

"Has the communication been completely blocked?"

"Almost. We have no way of contacting the outside world. Anyone who tried to contact the fleet is gone now."

As she spoke, Cao Wei led everyone to a slightly wider area in the underground corridor.

Some dusty civilians could be seen on both sides of the road. They were very nervous at first about the appearance of Dui and his men, but then they relaxed a little when they saw their military uniforms.

It seems that these days of hiding from place to place will be difficult.

"Since the evacuation alarm was not successfully activated, many civilians did not have time to enter the underground shelter. They were slaughtered as 'living forces' on the ground. We only managed to save these people."

"I don't seem to see any wounded..."

"All dead."

Cao Wei's calm voice sounded a little trembling.

"As you can see, we don't have any supplies here. After the medical kits and emergency food we brought with us were used up, we had nothing left except bullets."

Leading everyone to an open space, Cao Wei sat down with the gun in her hand. She reached into her arms and took out a cigarette box, but it was empty.

"Suck me."

Dui handed over his cigarette, and the latter thanked him, took out one and lit it.

Dui then noticed that two fingers on Cao Wei's left hand were missing and the bandage had turned gray and black.

“So much for selling misery.”

There is still light in Cao Wei's eyes:

"Let's talk business. I don't know what your mission is, but I see you're planning to go into the warehouse, so I think we can work together."

Cao Wei used the butt of her gun to casually draw a simple diagram on the ground:
"It is most unwise for you to appear at the main gate. The enemy forces in this direction are the largest in number. According to our daytime reconnaissance, there is at least one reinforced company of soldiers guarding here, and the defenders have heavy equipment such as armored vehicles and drones. You can't get in with just a few guns."

"Can you get us in?"

"After being a mouse for a few days, I naturally know some small paths."

Cao Wei laughed at herself:
"Yes, I have a way to help you, but you have to help me too."

"what do you want?"

"Survival."

Cao Wei said without hesitation:

"The planetary defense team is currently in a state of collapse. I have no troops left to return to. Although we can continue to fight guerrilla warfare here and tangle with the Red Maple Republic's ground forces, there is no hope."

Indeed, without the cooperation of the fleet and with the low-Earth orbit occupied by the Red Maple Republic, no matter how hard the ground forces tried, they would still be just flies that could be swatted to death at any time.

"Your uniforms look new, so you probably haven't been attacked in the past few days. You must have a safe base. I hope you can take us with you when you complete your mission and retreat, or at least take our civilians with you."

Cao Wei glanced at the people huddled in the corner, then turned her gaze back to Dui's face:

“They are almost losing hope.”
