Cao Zhen was excited about not being reckless. In order to avoid misunderstanding, he immediately sent a small team to go in that direction. If he found out that the other party was indeed him and that it was the small base they were looking for, he would let the large army keep up to avoid accidents.

At the same time, Cao Zhen also sent another team to look for Zhu Yajie's rear-breaking troops. In his opinion, the Gaia's air force was repelled, and the Gaia's ground troops were likely to evacuate at the same time. This was the best time to get Zhu Yajie's rear-breaking troops out.

I have to say that Cao Zhen’s decision was correct and unprovocative, but what disappointed him was that when the team sent out to pick up Zhu Yajie arrived at the battlefield just now, they were shocked by the tragic scene in front of them. Looking at the wreckage everywhere and the bodies of his comrades, these strong soldiers couldn’t help but shed tears.

The body of his comrades was restrained, but the officers led the team did not find Zhu Yajie's body. Could it be that Zhu Yajie was affected by the explosion and died? If so, his body would be unable to be distinguished, so he could only search carefully in the wreckage.

"Look! What is this?" After searching for a while, someone suddenly shouted. Several people rushed forward and found a high-frequency vibrating particle knife near the central area formed by the shock wave. There was a z-shaped character behind the handle of the high-frequency vibrating particle knife. When they saw this mark, everyone was silent because everyone knew that the high-frequency vibrating particle knife was Zhu Yajie's.

"Instructor... Instructor...?" A young soldier swallowed and couldn't believe all this. In his eyes, Zhu Yajie was the best warrior and an invincible warrior. How could he sacrifice his life like this?

When another soldier discovered a part of all-metal mechanical exoskeleton near the high-frequency vibrating particle knife, Zhu Yajie's death almost became a fact.

With a deep feeling, they restrained the remains of their comrades, Zhu Yajie's high-frequency vibration particle knife and some of the all-metal mechanical exoskeleton components. They then returned to the starting point. When Cao Zhen saw how many people had returned or how many people had returned, his face suddenly sank. Although he had already had an answer in his heart, he still hoped to ask about the situation with luck.

"Instructor Zhu and his comrades..." The officer leading the team replied with tears, handing Cao Zhen the high-frequency vibrating particle knife left by Zhu Yajie to Cao Zhen. When he saw the z-shaped knife on the knife handle, Cao Zhen couldn't help but burst into tears. He remembered that when he was joking with Zhu Yajie, he laughed happily and did not answer. Cao Zhen even gave him the nickname "Zoro" with evil intentions. Now the smile of his comrades is still in his mind, but there is no one. Cao Zhen was extremely sad and held the knife tightly. He blamed himself for not sending more people to Zhu Yajie at the time. If he gave him more strength, it might not be the result now.

Zhu Yajie's sacrifice was a huge loss to the Alpha army. As the chief instructor, although Zhu Yajie's military rank was not high, his prestige in this team was second only to Cao Zhen. When the news of Zhu Yajie's death spread, all the officers and soldiers of the Alpha army were sad.

"Old Cao!" A voice came. Cao Zhen looked back and saw that the political commissar was coming. The political commissar had just taken the team there to confirm the news. He didn't know what was delayed for a while, but it was even later than the team searching for the battlefield.

"What's wrong?" The political commissar seemed to be in a good mood, but when he approached, he found that the atmosphere at the scene was not right, especially Cao Zhen, with a sad and sad face.

"Old Zhu died..." Cao Zhen handed the knife in his hand to the political commissar and said sadly.

"Ah! Old Zhu..." The political commissar's expression changed drastically. Although Zhu Yajie was almost dead in the task of cutting off the rear, for the political commissar who understands Zhu Yajie's abilities, it would be fine if Zhu Yajie ran with his ability without being able to resist, so the political commissar was always optimistic that Zhu Yajie would definitely be able to reunite with them.

But who would have thought that Cao Zhen actually told him that Zhu Yajie had sacrificed, and the political commissar could not believe his ears. When he saw this knife with his own eyes, the political commissar was also sad and shed tears silently.

After all, Cao Zhen and the others are soldiers, and they are the most elite and special troops. Although the sacrifice of their comrades is sad for everyone, it is not the time to miss their comrades. The danger has not yet been completely separated. The Gaia people who left may make a comeback. After wiped their tears, Cao Zhen asked about the contact situation, and the political commissar immediately reported the situation.

Cao Zhen guessed right. The one who attacked the Gaias' small spacecraft was the small base they were looking for. The political commissar had just contacted the small base. After a series of identity verifications, the other party had confirmed their identity. Now the small base allows their troops to enter the base to take refuge, and also sent a liaison officer and the political commissar to come together.

"Okay!" Cao Zhen said ok, and then asked the political commissar to invite the liaison officer. The two sides shook hands. The other party briefly mentioned the precautions for entering the base and asked Cao Zhen and his personnel to abide by this. Cao Zhen had no objection to this. After Cao Zhen was affirmed, the liaison officer suggested that he set off immediately. Cao Zhen, who had already gathered the troops, immediately issued an order, and the troops quickly headed towards the small base.

About an hour later, they arrived at the location of the small base. There was a strange building in front of them exposed on the sand surface. The buildings were high and low, without any rules, and even the tall part was only a few meters high. There was a door near the dunes, and there were fully armed soldiers standing at the door. When they saw these soldiers, Cao Zhen was stunned, because all the equipment of the other party was almost exactly the same as that of the Alpha troops, except that the painted colors of their all-metal mechanical exoskeletons were different, not black and silver, but camouflaged earthy yellow.

In the middle of the soldier wearing all-metal mechanical exoskeletons stood a colonel officer. His uniform was different from ordinary troops. The harness was quite unique. As the highest commander of the Alpha troops, Cao Zhen had seen such a harness. He recognized it at a glance that it represented the core unit of the Northwest Base. There were two types of guards at the Northwest Base. One was an ordinary guard unit, who served as a general guard, and the other was the core unit directly under the command of the highest agency of the Northwest Base. They were the elite among the elites, with relatively independent organization and great power. Even a general like Cao Zhen should be polite to the other side of a colonel.

"General Cao, thank you for your hard work. I am Hu Gang, the commander of the base, welcome you!" Hu Gang recognized Cao Zhen at a glance, and quickly stepped forward without waiting for Cao Zhen to speak, and then he saluted him enthusiastically.
