The first thing to do was, naturally, have the Hive repair the drone carrier, and at the same time...
"Load all usable weapons and ammunition into the drone carrier," Chu Bamboo said, his voice calm. "Clear out all the inoperable drones to make enough space."
'This is most likely another trial-and-error run... so there's no need to plan for the future! I'll use every bit of strength I have... hold nothing back!'
"Understood!" the Hive replied grimly.
Next, Chu Bamboo proceeded with the plan: he directed the robotic dogs and drones to stage a prison break, rescue Private Hu Kaikang, and then use them to persuade Huo Qiming...
Time ticked by...
A notification appeared: 'Repairs complete!' Chu Bamboo watched the drone carrier take off. After a moment of thought, he didn't immediately order it to bomb the Third Corps. Instead, he pulled out his phone and made a call. "Li Xuan!"
"I'm here," Li Xuan replied, his voice filled with respect.
