"Chief, here is the list of all the refugees who has entered the base!" A second lieutenant from the logistics department gave a folder to Lin Zhong-qing.

Lin Zhong-qing took it and looked it over. He then frowned, "Did they pass the identity check of the mainframe?"

"These are the ones who have passed. Those that didn't pass has already been injected with restricting agents by the punishment squad," replied the second lieutenant.

Lin Zhong-qing couldn't help but be happy that Base 013's mainframe luckily had all of the information regarding all of the Hailiyan mecha operator on Planet Haijiao. This made sure that Hailiya's spies couldn't blend in with the refugees, making sure that Base 013 was safe from the watchful eyes of Hailiya.

Little Four was very pleased with himself, as this information was gathered from when he was still connected to the Federation's bases while he was scouting around the bases of Hailiya. It should be said that even the Federation's mainframe didn't have information as detailed he had stolen... acquired.

However, what Lin Zhong-qing was more worried about was not the spies. Instead, he was more worried about...

Lin Zhong-qing picked up the folders beside him once again. Inside it was the data that showed the amount of supplies and resources available in the base being in the red. The data estimated that these supplies and resources were only enough for two days. The energy, weapons and equipment could still be salvaged for a longer time, so they were fine on that end, but the food and water situation was dire.

Lin Zhong-qing picked up the folders and walked briskly towards the command center. When he entered, he saw that it was full of people speed walking around as if they were in a racewalking competition.

The command center was originally filled with staff from each department of the base. However now, only the regiment commanders of all the clans and the other higher-ups of the base were allowed to be there.

It should be explained that in the past two weeks, Base 012, 014 and 015 around Base 013 could no longer defend against Hailiya's military force that was 10 times more in numbers. They had no choice but to abandon the bases and retreat to the center location between all of them, Base 013. In other words, Base 013 had actually become a lone city in the middle of nowhere.

At that moment, many lieutenant colonels and senior colonels were standing around the virtual screens to coordinate their future. They were the people that were supposed to be on a break today. However, how could they rest easy in their quarters? So, they all went to the command center and helped in predicting Hailiya's movements, attacks and how to deal with those attacks.

The person in command today was Han Jijyun. In the past few days, he and Li Lanfeng switched with each other for the task of coordinating practice battles and discussing with the regiment commanders of all the clans. Although he and Li Lanfeng switched everyday, his face was still showing signs of fatigue. After the forces from the other three bases retreated to Base 013, the pressure on him and Li Lanfeng reached to the point where he almost could not bear with it anymore. This made Han Jijyun, who was a newbie strategist that had only come into contact with war for a short amount of time, have the illusion of not being able to breathe from the immense pressure. He felt he had already reached his limit. However, when he saw that Li Lanfeng still had fight in him, his own heart began to burn with determination...

This feeling of being unable to compare to someone else made Han Jijyun feel frustrated. It made him want to work even harder and better. However, the more he did this, the more he felt he couldn't compare to Li Lanfeng. With this mindset, even if they changed shifts, he still wouldn't be able to rest well...
