Chapter 223: Chapters 218, 219: Nuclear-Powered Aircraft Carrier Launch! (Double Monthly Ticket Bonus) _2

*His thoughts were also the thoughts of most people. There were still a few cities left with transportation capabilities. If they could move to a safe place, there was still a chance to return.*

"You don’t have weapons, leaving the camp is extremely dangerous," Gong Shun said, "We received news from home last month that they are trying to send ships to pick us up. Just wait a little longer!"

Seeing that the crowd was still restless, Gong Shun said, "I’ll contact them again right now!"

While speaking, he dialed the satellite phone.

The capability of the Sky Net Satellite communication network was crucial at this time. Even in this chaotic place with poor infrastructure, as long as there was a receiver, satellite network signals could be received!

The satellite phone was connected, and Gong Shun hurriedly said, "This is Camp No.1, I’m the camp manager, Gong Shun."

"We currently have over four thousand people gathered here, mostly Huaxia compatriots. This is the largest camp in Africa! Can you tell us when the homeland will bring us back?"

The voice on the other end said, "We have received your rescue message, and your information has been forwarded to the Xuanwu Executive Officer. Please wait for a reply."

"No response?" People became incredibly worried upon hearing this.

Jiben sighed, "I told you, everyone is too busy to look after themselves right now. I’m from the Lantern Country. I asked them to rescue me, but they didn’t respond at all."

Just as he finished speaking, the voice on the other end of the phone sounded again, "Hello, Comrade Gong Shun, this is He Xingzhou."

The call’s volume was turned up all the way, so everyone around could hear.

As soon as they heard this name, everyone’s eyes lit up.

"It’s Dr. He!"

"Dr. He returned the call?" They even felt like crying.

*Hearing He Xingzhou’s voice at this moment was like seeing an oasis for someone lost in the desert.*

"Are you... Commander He?" Gong Shun’s voice trembled, *his disbelief evident.*

"It’s me," He Xingzhou confirmed, "We are aware of your situation."

"The ships to rescue you are leaving port, and they are expected to arrive within twenty days."

Upon hearing this news, everyone became excited. They stood there, wishing they could hear it over and over again!

However, no one dared to speak, afraid of interrupting the call.

He Xingzhou continued, "Comrade Gong Shun, I have a task for you now that you must complete!"

"Yes!" Gong Shun shouted loudly, "Please give the order, Commander!"

"First, you must ensure the safety and health of our compatriots for these twenty days!" He Xingzhou said, "Second, besides Camp No.1, there are some small camps nearby that have also contacted us, but some have lost contact now."

"So you need to organize personnel to find them. In twenty days, the Xuanwu Army will come to take you home!"

"Yes, I assure you we will complete the task!" Gong Shun shouted loudly, ensuring everyone around the camp could hear.

He Xingzhou sent the relevant information, and the call ended.

At this time, everyone was looking at him, and someone in the back questioned uncertainly, "Brother Gong, was that really a call from home?"

"Yes!" Gong Shun shouted into a megaphone, "Brothers and sisters, the person I was talking to just now was the Xuanwu Executive Officer, Dr. He Xingzhou!"

"He has already told me that in twenty days, the Xuanwu Army will come to take us home!"

"So during this time, we not only need to protect ourselves but also bring back our compatriots from the nearby refugee camps and take them with us!"

Upon hearing his words, the people cheered, "Finally, a chance to go home!"

"Twenty days, only twenty days left!"

"Honey, we have a chance to go home!"

Gong Shun continued, "At this critical time, we must unite, and everyone must abide by the rules. Next, I’ll assign tasks..."

He immediately organized actions, having some strong men protect the camp, while he and his teammates took people to nearby camps to contact the wandering compatriots.

*"Twenty days, impossible! Absolutely impossible for anyone to come here!"* Jiben murmured to himself, *knowing that those who could be evacuated had already left.*

*Soon this place would become an insect nest. Both the sea and air routes were cut off by the Zerg. Who still had the capability to come here and help them?*

...

At Shen Zhou’s deep-water port, He Xingzhou, Luo An, Xue Yang, and others were watching a fleet sail into the distance.

This fleet consisted of thirty-six ships, far more luxurious than an ordinary fleet.

At the center were two large-tonnage nuclear-powered aircraft carriers—the Peace and the Unity, whose displacement and performance had surpassed the most powerful aircraft carriers in the world at that time.

The surrounding ships were all newly launched, modern vessels, with two nuclear submarines trailing underwater.

"Ten years ago, I never imagined we would have new-generation nuclear-powered aircraft carriers like the Peace and the Unity!" Xue Yang exclaimed. "The capabilities of the Peace far exceed other ships of its era!"

"This is just the beginning!" He Xingzhou said proudly, "We have conquered the technology for miniaturized nuclear reactors, and soon we’ll have numerous nuclear-powered ships launched!"

"We not only have to keep the Zerg off our coasts, but we have to drive them out of the sea!"

"The Peace Fleet’s speed is more than twice that of traditional fleets. Reaching the target port will take at least twenty days, and that’s while constantly dealing with the Zerg!" Luo An said, "I hope our compatriots can hold on."

...

Africa, Camp No.1.

It had been eighteen days since the plea for help.

By now, Camp No.1’s population had grown to over thirty thousand.

Every day, people traveled long distances to arrive. Upon hearing that Shen Zhou’s fleet was coming to take them home, this place became the hope of their compatriots!

Some foreigners also flocked here, requesting to go to Shen Zhou.

In response, Gong Shun consulted with his higher-ups, who stated the fleet had limited capacity, and Huaxia compatriots and their families could all board.

Foreigners, however, could only temporarily accept some elite talents. Everyone wanted world peace, but reality didn’t allow it. Acting saintly at this time would only harm their own people!

To ensure the safety of their compatriots, He Xingzhou also issued a special notice.

Anyone who escorted fellow compatriots onto the ship would be granted a boarding spot, provided they did not use coercion or kidnapping!

At this time, a boarding spot represented the hope of survival.

In some places, Huaxia compatriots became the lifeline for these foreigners. They took great risks to bring them to the camp from various locations.

"Eighteen days, and they still haven’t arrived?" A white man asked.

He was Harris, the leader of the largest armed force nearby. He was once the boss of a mercenary company, with thousands of mercenary soldiers under his command.

After the Zerg invasion, he couldn’t continue his business. With everything in chaos, he had no choice but to establish a camp with his brothers and look for a way to survive.

When he heard that Shen Zhou was coming to get people, and that rescuing one Huaxia person would earn a boarding opportunity,

Harris immediately organized personnel to rescue people in different regions. He was quite capable and indeed managed to find thousands of trapped Huaxia people and brought them to the camp.

Recently, the camp’s food supplies also came from Harris.

"They will definitely arrive. They’re already close to the port." Gong Shun said with conviction.

Harris was also very anxious. As their numbers grew, more Zerg were showing up nearby, and some bandits were also staking out the area, putting great pressure on them.

He said, "Mr. Gong, I hope you can contact them again and ask them to speed up. We’ve already found many Zerg gathering here, and the bandits attacking around us are increasing."

"As long as your people can take us and our families to the safety of Shen Zhou, we are willing to fight for you and hold off the Zerg!"

*At this moment, everything else was external. To have a safe city to live in was the greatest blessing!*
