Chapter 238: The Tycoon’s Base
The troops from Lingchuan Base arrived shortly after. The commander was a middle-aged man surnamed Peng, and leading the team was Hong Yun.
After the various bases converged, the desolate expanse came alive, with soldiers on patrol visible everywhere.
Beicheng had five thousand people, Lingchuan four thousand, Yunan four thousand, Chujiang three thousand, and Space-Time three thousand—totaling nineteen thousand troops stationed here. If one looked down from a high vantage point, they would see a massive dark spread of tents and soldiers. Come nightfall, with the lights turned on, one might mistake it for a small town.
Especially the Space-Time Base camp, encircled by a ring of Ice Wall on the outside, with rows of neatly arranged alloy modular houses inside, and emergency lights hanging under the eaves. The light shone on the crystal-clear walls, reflecting a pearly white glow that enveloped the entire camp in brightness and clarity.
The wind began to pick up at night, with a chilling blast at minus fifty degrees. The soldiers from each base stationed on the periphery were all shivering, and they couldn’t help but cast envious glances towards the direction of the Space-Time Base.
The soldiers from Space-Time Base didn’t even need to go out on patrols. It was all thanks to those Ice Type Superpower Users who had cast the walls. No one knew what method they had used, but they had managed to make the Ice Walls flat and smooth in such a short amount of time, with the perfect thinness and thickness, allowing them to see the outside through the ice. Hence, the soldiers of the Space-Time Base only needed to patrol inside the Ice Wall and didn’t have to step out into the cold wind!
Comparing people can really kill one’s spirit...
Just look at their houses, their weapons, and even the uniforms everyone wears look nicer.
As the soldiers in the Lingchuan camp came back from their shift and gathered around the fire to warm up, they inevitably started to chat.
"Isn’t Space-Time Base a private base? How come they have such good benefits... Ah, look at those houses, much warmer than tents, truly makes one jealous."
