Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 350 How many hostages can the Jackal Squad's jeep hold?

boom!
With the launch of all its missiles, the gates of the core base of the Leia Revolutionary Army were forcibly blown open.

After all, their previous battlegrounds were very close to the core base, and many reinforcements even came from the base.

However, with the support of Cheng Tian and his group, the support force, mainly composed of highly mobile enhanced Gates, was quickly driven back to the base.

This base has comprehensive signal shielding, and neither the Principality of Leia nor the Earth Federation knows of its existence. However, Azrael, as the former leader, has been here, but due to his defection, his access has been restricted.

Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't have the authority, as long as you have the cannon barrel.

As the gate was breached, the scene inside was officially revealed to everyone.

Located on both sides of the base's inner wall are numerous prisons, holding a large number of Leia people with light purple skin, including men, women, and children, who have clearly been imprisoned for some time.

The Leias were initially huddled together in fear from the previous explosion, but when they discovered the mech intrusion, many began frantically banging on the railings and shouting. However, when they saw Azrael's iconic black Warlock mech emerge from the smoke and dust, some Leias who had seen the mech before were plunged into endless panic.

Azrael remained silent for a long time before speaking.

"...The livelihood of the people in the Principality of Leia has been completely ruined, and the number of soldiers in the army is simply not enough to support the planet's defense. It can be said that they are completely unable to resist the colonial invasion of the Earth Federation."

"So you started capturing civilians, subjecting them to intensive reform, and sending them out as filler babies?"

Cheng Tian decisively defined the matter.

Deeper into the base, there is a complete assembly line factory for modifying soldiers.

The planet Leia, whose national strength was already inferior to Earth's, has exhausted its resources after fifty years of fighting, especially in terms of population. The number of new generations is severely insufficient, and it is on the verge of extinction, let alone replenishing its soldiers.

So Azrael simply started capturing people all over the planet for deep modification, turning them into mechanical puppet soldiers without their own thoughts. It was through this method that he managed to gather enough manpower to conquer the capital city of Gaul and launch an invasion of Earth.

“I do not intend to deny my previous actions. Although I was controlled, the source of my extreme emotions was myself... However, I cannot die yet. I must do both atonement and stop the colonization of the planet.”

Azrael, taken aback by Cheng Tian's bluntness, first showed a trace of sorrow on his face, but then his determination returned.

As he said, he would not deny the series of evil deeds he had committed, the kind that he could not atone for even with his own life.

However, if he were to fall now, the future of colonizing the planet Leia, as described by Cheng Tian, ​​would lose all obstacles and lead to an inevitable outcome.

Even now, Azrael himself is well aware that after the bombardment of New York, the Earth Federation has gained sufficient grounds for a counterattack. No matter how hard he tries, there may only be a few percent chance of stopping colonization... But if he doesn't do anything, it's equivalent to that few percent chance disappearing as well!
"Back off!"

As Azrael intimidated them, the Leias who were originally close to the railing panicked and dodged backward, huddled together, looking very disheveled and pitiful.

What terrified them even more was that the warlock made a kicking motion that was clearly aggressive!

The warlock's right leg, which it kicked out, transformed rapidly in mid-air, turning into a whip-like blade with heat-infused edges. After the double kick, the tough and thick metal railing was cleaved in two.

The same thing happened in other cells, where Gates, equipped with laser blades, was also cutting through the cell bars.

While destroying the mastermind deep within the base is an important main mission, the Leia people who are being used as materials to create the Filler Baby still need to be rescued.

While in its combined state, a hole was ripped in its stomach, but it disappeared after being decoupled. However, the Gates LB Orange, whose durability was significantly reduced, also joined the ranks of those liberating the Leias.

At the same time, Cheng Tian and Eileen also received notifications that a side quest had been triggered.

[Side Quest Triggered - "Rescue the Imprisoned Leias"]

Side quests and team quests: Rescue as many Leias as possible and ensure their survival until you help the Azrael Resistance defeat the Mastermind and bring the Leias to safety.

For each Leia who survives, you and your teammates will receive an extra 100 Chosen Coins as commission, which will be split equally at the final settlement.

In Cheng Tian's view, this should be closer to a pure bonus level before the final battle, and its nature should be the same as the bonus level in Street Fighter smashing cars and Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2 eating buns and chicken legs.

A quick glance revealed several hundred Leias, not to mention the possibility of unfortunate souls undergoing conversion procedures in the cells or on the production lines still in operation.

After exchanging a glance through the mechs, the human priest and the half-elf windwalker immediately got to work, diligently dismantling the cells and rescuing the hostages.

The Leia people, who initially thought they were going to be silenced, suddenly realized after the initial panic subsided that the Azrael resistance had come to rescue them.

But it was Azrael's group who captured them in the first place, and now it's the same group that's rescuing them. This has instilled a sense of distrust in these unfortunate civilians, making them all appear extremely panicked and uneasy. Some of the young people, relying on their remaining strength, even tried to run outside under the watchful eyes of the numerous mechs.

"My hundred dollars!"

Upon seeing this, Eileen began to cover her head in shock.

Unlike Cheng Tian, ​​who spends a lot and earns a lot, Eileen, the little rich girl, lost a lot of savings due to the Alien vs. Ironblood main storyline mission. She also incurred additional expenses for bloodline purification, and is now in a state of being short of money. Even a hundred yuan is very precious to her.

But at that moment, the entire base suddenly began to tremble violently without warning.

Cheng Tian covered his eyes, and his optic nerve transmitted an image back to the mental image crystal that he had left high above the outside of the base for global monitoring.

The ground around the entire base where everyone is currently located is shaking and cracking, and as large amounts of sand are peeled away, the lower half of the core base, which was originally buried in the ground, is gradually being revealed.

A massive spaceship, resembling a small fortress, was slowly taking off, carrying everyone at the base!
