Rebirth after the apocalypse: I create a new world with space!

“The old city wall in the southwest corner… that is indeed our weak point in defense.” Xu Ying walked to the base defense map by the wall and pointed to the southwest corner. “The city wall there has been in disrepair for many years. It was only temporarily reinforced once before. The supernatural protective net also cannot completely cover a section due to insufficient energy. I didn’t expect them to have their eyes on it.”

Lu Jingcheng stepped forward, his gaze fixed on the defense map, his tone firm:

"Xu Da, I will lead Team 1, Team 2, and Team 3 to guard the southwest corner. We will definitely complete the reinforcement of the city wall and the repair of the protective net within three days, and we will not allow them any opportunity to take advantage of the situation."

“I’ll go with you.” Li Luo looked at Lu Jingcheng, a wisp of light ink-colored shadow energy condensed in her palm, and gently covered his wrist. “This wisp of shadow energy is connected to me. No matter if there is an emergency or if you find suspicious people, you can contact me through it, and I can get there as soon as possible.”

The moment the shadow energy seeped into his skin, Lu Jingcheng felt a warmth in his wrist and clearly sensed Li Luo's presence. He took her hand in his, his eyes filled with warmth.

"Okay, I'll be careful."

Seeing the tacit understanding between the two, Xu Ying nodded and then quickly made arrangements:

"Zhou Kai led three teams to reinforce the city wall, and transferred all the alloy steel plates and cement stored at the base to complete the reinforcement within two days."

Lin Wei led four teams to inspect the supernatural protection network, allocate enough energy crystals, and patch up the leaks in the southwest corner;

Zhao Lei led Team 5 and Wu Haosen led Team 7 to set up defenses on the outskirts of the southwest corner, set up traps, and monitor enemy movements;

Chen Xibao led six teams to remain in the research area to assist Li Luo in investigating the mole, focusing on the barrier maintainer surnamed Wang.

"Understood!" Lu Jingcheng responded immediately, then looked at Li Luo and whispered, "Luo Luo, be careful when investigating the mole. That guy surnamed Wang is a high-level ability user. Don't fight him alone. I'll come over to help you once I've finished setting things up here."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Li Luo gently squeezed his hand. "With Chen Xibao's Team 6 cooperating in the research area, and Uncle Xu overseeing things, nothing will happen. You also need to be careful on your side. The Destruction Force might send small groups to probe ahead of time, so don't let your guard down."

Xu Ying added, "Comrade Xiao Li, I'll assign two psychic ability users to assist you. That high-level mole is well hidden. While using shadow abilities to investigate, they can also use their mental power to sense abnormal energy fluctuations. A two-pronged approach is more reliable."

"Thank you, Uncle Xu." Li Luo nodded, turning her gaze to the window.

The night was still dark, but hurried footsteps could be heard in the base. Team members were busy with their respective duties. The rumbling of reinforcing the city walls and the shouts of allocating supplies mingled together. The tension brought about by the internal traitor and the general offensive had instead transformed into a firm sense of vigilance for everyone.

The energy of the shadow in her palm shifted slightly, yet she could still clearly sense the faint, chilling aura emanating from the depths of the forest.

The Shadow Serpent hasn't gone far; it's probably waiting for the main force of the Destruction Force to gather, ready to counterattack at any moment.

“High-ranking traitors, the southwest corner defense line, Shadow Serpents and the main force…” Li Luo silently recited in his mind, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes, “Three days is enough for us to lay a trap and wait for them to walk right into it.”

Lu Jingcheng quickly led Team 2 and Team 3 to the southwest corner, while Li Luo followed Xu Ying to the research area to investigate the barrier maintainer surnamed Wang.
