After the command center picked up Chen Xin, Bob led his team members to form a battle formation and guarded Chen Xin to the stronghold where they were stationed.

Unlike the more casual way of moving forward when they came, on the return trip, Bob and his team members consciously took on the guard mission to protect Chen Xin.

Although in Bob's opinion, the team of soldiers who were more advanced than them were already enough to protect Chen Xin's safety, Bob did not forget that they needed to please the big man Chen Xin.

So Bob was still very serious about the battle formation used by the guards in accordance with Cao Dian, and carried out the task of protecting Chen Xin according to Cao Dian's requirements, guiding Chen Xin and his guards toward the stronghold.

Compared to this return trip, Bob undoubtedly walked a little slower, but they still returned to the stronghold very smoothly.

Along the way, Chen Xin was in a happy mood when he looked at the team of Bob's team who was performing the requirements of the exercises as if they were performing.

Although he also felt that Bob's so-called protection was meaningless, he was still satisfied with Bob's serious attitude.

In fact, unless the front line collapses, there will be an alien creature that can cross the line, avoid the surveillance of frigates and the Falcon Titans patrolling in the sky, and launch an attack on Chen Xin.

At the same time, we must break through the protection of a combat squad equipped with power armor next to Chen Xin and the Titan squad that has launched combat formations around Chen Xin, so that Chen Xin can truly hurt Chen Xin under heavy protection.

Under the multiple security system, the symbolic significance of Bob's team's guard is greater than that of practical significance, which means that they attach great importance to Chen Xin.

After entering the stronghold, the major, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly expressed his welcome to Chen Xin. He also asked the soldiers in the stronghold to line up to welcome Chen Xin's arrival in a rather formalistic manner.

This made Chen Xin somewhat uncomfortable. After simply following the process, the major dispersed the person.

Due to the space inside the stronghold, only the Power Armored Squad followed Chen Xin into the stronghold, while the Titan Squad stopped the body outside the stronghold and launched a protective formation.

Bob, who returned to the stronghold, did not disband his squad, but still asked them to follow the squad around Chen Xin. At the same time, he was also with Chen Xin with the major, following him to inspect the stronghold.

The so-called inspection is actually to take a look around, discover some problems, and solve some problems.

Under normal circumstances, what Chen Xin could see when he came to inspect should be arranged first by the major and prepare what he wanted to see.

However, before coming, Chen Xin did not notify him in advance, which undoubtedly made the major too late to prepare. The time was only enough for them to clean up the base so that they would not appear too dirty and messy, making Chen Xin feel dissatisfied.

However, even after temporarily cleaning up, the situation in this stronghold was not much better.

This stronghold is a permanent fortification built with steel and cement. Although the defense is very strong, it is not very comfortable to live in.

In addition, a large number of soldiers live here, lacking the conditions for bathing, and the ventilation conditions of the base itself are also limited, so when Chen Xin walked into the soldiers' living area...

He had to put on his protective suit helmet again.

"Sorry, you are just some big-headed soldiers and don't understand the rules. Please forgive me." Seeing Chen Xin put on his helmet again, this undoubtedly made the major embarrassed. At the same time, he was also a little worried that Chen Xin would be dissatisfied, so he hurriedly apologized to him.

The major himself did not wear a helmet, and of course he could smell an indescribable smell around him that had accumulated due to long-term ventilation and neglect of bathing, as well as the odor of feet emitted by soldiers roasting their feet to keep warm and fermenting.

However, he has always lived here, and has been in the abalone store for a long time without smelling the stench. After getting used to it, he feels it's okay.

But it is obvious that Chen Xin is not able to tolerate this taste very much.

"Do you don't have the conditions to take a bath? You should pay attention to your personal hygiene, right?" Chen Xin was not angry, but just asked with concern.

While explaining to Chen Xin, the major did not forget to express his merit without any trace: "Sorry, although there are bathing facilities in the base, the conditions are limited. Our soldiers can only take a bath once a week. Everyone has to go to the front line every day, so they are really messy."

"Forget it, this is not your fault. I will discuss with your superiors to see how to improve your living conditions." Chen Xin did not delve into this issue, but he also knew that the quality of the living conditions of soldiers had a great impact on their combat effectiveness, so he still planned to pay attention to this matter.

Apart from the sanitary environment that makes people feel unacceptable, other problems in the base are not that serious.

Chen Xin walked around and was satisfied with his inspection.

However, he did not leave immediately, but randomly found some soldiers in the stronghold and asked them some questions about life and their views on current weapons and equipment.

The life problems most soldiers reflected were about heating and fresh food. Chen Xin had already solved these two problems, so he did not go too deeply into these two issues.

However, the problems reflected by these soldiers in terms of weapons and equipment made Chen Xin very interested.

This stronghold received a lot of equipment from the Yan Kingdom. The soldiers basically used most of the equipment, including electromagnetic rifles, exoskeletons and power armor. In addition, this is the forefront of resisting the invasion of alien creatures, so the soldiers also have their own opinions on these weapons and equipment.

"The electromagnetic rifle is indeed very useful, but the firing rate is a bit too fast. Usually, one magazine will almost hit it with thirty rounds of bullets."

"The exoskeleton is very useful, but there are a little bit of hangers. You should add more ammunition hangers to carry more ammunition."

"The power armor is very good in all aspects, but it is a bit air leaking. I hope it can add warmth and add other modules."

"When the front line resists the attack of alien creatures, the main casualties are caused by flying units falling from the sky. An air defense weapon is needed on the position that can effectively resist air threats."

Chen Xin recorded the opinions put forward by these soldiers one by one and planned to be used as a reference.

After recording these, Chen Xin also looked at the major and asked him: "Can the stronghold see the frontier position? I want to see how the frontier position is fought at a close distance."
