After the battle, three-quarters of the 99 chosen ones were killed.

Li Ming looked around blankly.

a mess.

Many of the houses and decorations they spent a lot of time building were destroyed.

The overall damage rate of the entire base reached 70%.

But at least it was held.

As for those who died in the battle, they were resurrected in the resurrection pool after the battle. When they came to the base and looked at the tragic situation inside the base, they sighed.

"This battle was truly tragic."

"There's nothing we can do. Our firepower is too weak."

"Yes, but at least it was held."

They never expected that this was just the first level and it would be so difficult.

What happens next?

"What do we do now? We've suffered so much damage. Do we have to rebuild the base?"

"Yeah! After working so hard for so many days, it's ruined like this!"

Many people felt very sad after seeing it.

At this time, some important senior executives such as Li Ming also gathered together to hold a summary meeting.

Everyone was silent for a while, recalling the battle with the monster.

"I think we should change our strategy."

At this time, Li Ming also sorted out his thoughts and said calmly.

"What strategy?" A senior executive looked at Li Ming and asked.

Li Ming raised his head and glanced around, and saw that a group of senior executives were looking at him expectantly.

He took a deep breath and said, "Next, we should strengthen the research and development of weapons and equipment instead of focusing on construction."

"Now that we have a place to live, we just need food and shelter. There's no need to make it luxurious."

"If we really want to do that well, we have to wait until we are strong enough to protect ourselves."

Li Ming expressed his thoughts.

Everyone thought it made a lot of sense, and some even had the same idea.

"Yes, indeed!"

"Hey, this monster invasion destroyed a lot of our stuff! We shouldn't waste so many precious things and time on meaningless things."

They are simply too focused on construction.

What made them depressed was that many of the things they spent a lot of time building were destroyed.

In other words, they worked in vain.

In the end, they also understood that they had to focus on improving their strength.

At this moment, the system's voice sounded.

[Ding! Congratulations on defending the Void Base.]

【mission rewards:

Unlock weapons, equipment, and defense templates in the base mall.

Personal Unlock: Level

Personal experience +50

Team bonus experience +50

This mission is rated D.

At this time, the task settlement was also completed.

Li Ming and others also stopped the meeting and listened to the system's reminder.

At the same time, they all found that their level had been improved.

"I'm at level 1!"

"Me too!"

"I discovered that in addition to the experience gained from killing monsters in battle, everyone also receives team experience rewards."

"Yes, and all of our levels have been upgraded to Level 1."

They were also very happy after seeing the upgrade.

The same thing happened to the crowd outside. Cheers rang out throughout the entire void base, sweeping away the previous gloom.

I even hope those monsters come again.

"Ahem." Li Ming reminded everyone, "Don't forget, as our strength increases, the monsters will also increase in strength."

"Oh, yes!"

"It seems that we have to quickly develop our own strength."

"Yes, that's right."

They quickly learned about the weapons, equipment and defense modules in the mall.

The weapons and equipment are all privately owned.

Defense belongs to the base.

"Automatic laser launcher!"

"Radar detector!"

"Space mining ship!"

When they saw the things in these defense modules, their eyes lit up.

Although there are only these three things at present, they are all urgently needed.

Let’s talk about the automatic laser launcher first, which can help them defend the base.

The radar detector is even more powerful. It can not only help them scan supplies and enemies, but also help automatic laser weapons to lock on to the enemy.

The final space mining ship can help them mine materials and strengthen their base construction work.

What’s more, it’s automated.

You know, they used to rely on manpower to complete the task of collecting these resources.

Not only is it time-consuming and labor-intensive, it also wastes a lot of time.

It’s different now. If they have this thing, will they still worry about resources?

As for personal weapons and equipment, they are all level 1 weapons and equipment, which can enhance their combat effectiveness and defense capabilities at the level 1 stage.

"Mr. Li, what should we do next?"

These senior executives all looked at Li Ming.

Li Ming was the commander-in-chief elected by them, so they naturally had to follow Li Ming's arrangements.

"Individually, it must be fully equipped. And the defense of this base requires everyone's contribution."

"..."

The supplies they had collected before were all near their void base.

It is quite easy for them to collect these supplies on their own.

But now, there are fewer and fewer supplies around.

They have to go further and their efficiency drops.

Finally, Li Ming looked at the time for the next wave of monsters to attack, and there were still seven days left.

So, he simply told everyone not to rush to exchange weapons and equipment, but to pool everyone's resources for use.

Focus on the space mining ship, buy one first, and then concentrate on collecting resources.

When Li Ming expressed his ideas, he also received support from a number of senior executives.

"Indeed, it's better for us to do this."

"I agree too."

Supplies are equivalent to their money and can be exchanged for system funds to purchase mall items.

For example, daily necessities and food already existed.

Therefore, they basically don’t have to worry about food and daily necessities. Not only are they cheap, but the quantities are also large. They don’t have to worry about these life problems.

"Okay, announce it and we will carry it out immediately." Li Ming also acted decisively and passed down the tasks and opinions.

"Yes, Mr. Li."

They immediately announced this matter to others.

Everyone donated their personal belongings as required and exchanged them for system funds within the system.

Then, use the system funds to exchange for a space mining ship.

This space mining vessel only requires seven people to automatically collect resources.

Li Ming arranged three shifts, each with 7 people, including a mining team leader, two mining deputy team leaders, and four mining members. They worked non-stop for hours, changing personnel but not the space mining ship, and continued mining.

Although they only bought one space mining ship.

But now, you can buy up to three space mining ships.

"We still have some funds, but not enough to buy a space mining ship. I suggest that we buy a radar detector at the same time." said a senior executive.

"can."

Li Ming agreed on the spot considering that it could also help find resources and function as a radar detector.

They then bought a radar detector and installed it near the command center.

After the radar detector is activated, they can see the locations of all resource points within a few light years in the command center.

There are also some red dots in the area, which represent the monster's activity areas.

At the same time, there are some countdowns on the radar, which show the time of the next monster attack.

At each resource point, various mineral resources are also displayed.

“It’s great to have this radar.”

"Yes, not only can it help you avoid monster areas, but it can also help you find out where the resources are."

After seeing it, the senior executives felt that they had made no loss by buying it.

"Okay, let's send out the space mining ship now to collect resources quickly." Li Ming said.

"Where do we go to collect it?"

They found that choosing different resource points would result in different collection times and resource quantities.

They need to think it over and come up with the most cost-effective solution.

"First, check the situation of each resource point, and then make a decision based on our own capabilities."

"Yes!"

After obtaining the resources, they then exchanged for more system funds.

It took them two days to get out the second and third space mining ships.

With three space mining ships, efficiency has been greatly improved.

On the fourth day, they began to upgrade the void base's defensive firepower and deploy automatic laser launchers.

By the fifth day, they had deployed everything they could.

By the sixth day, they were frantically stockpiling resources.

Finally, on the seventh day, all members were equipped with level 1 equipment and weapons.

Then, there are adjustments in troop deployment.

They placed everyone in important positions.

Based on their first experience, they knew that these monsters would come from all directions.

So, this time, they will not rush to support wherever the monsters appear as they did before.

Then, make full preparations to deal with the second wave of invasion.

In order to prevent accidents, Li Ming inspected the void base several times and asked about the personnel's situation to ensure that everything was safe.

Finally, the monster comes!

The system prompt sounded again.

[Please note that the second wave of monsters is about to attack. Please be prepared for defense.]

Li Ming immediately returned to the command room with a few entourages.

He took a look at the radar detection and found that the second wave of enemies had indeed appeared and were not far from their void base.

He quickly picked up the loudspeaker and shouted.

"Everyone, we are very well prepared this time, and everyone has gained their first combat experience."

"I hope everyone can keep their composure this time and work together to defeat those damn monsters."

Li Ming said loudly.

"Do you have confidence?"

"Have!"

Everyone outside cheered loudly.

Because of the monster invasion, their space mining ships also stopped mining.

Everyone entered a state of combat readiness, stationed at various locations in the void base, waiting for the invasion of those monsters.

【10…9…8…1! 】

Then, they saw monsters appearing in the void.
