"The fortress gets attacked too? I thought both sides had restricted zones?" Gao Neng voiced his confusion.
"It doesn't happen often, but it's not unheard of. I heard things have been pretty intense recently. If that weren't the case, Grandpa Shen wouldn't have made a special trip to guard the Eastern District Fortress."
"So, there's a good chance we'll run into an alien army making a night raid as soon as we leave the fortress?"
"Yeah, but the chances are low. If we really ran into an alien army attacking the fortress, our only option would be to run back…" Fang Tangtang trailed off before adding, "Besides, there's an outer patrol line outside the fortress, defended by the Military Department. If a large alien force were really coming to attack, we would've had a warning by now."
"Got it." Gao Neng nodded.
Tonight should be a peaceful night.
The two of them slipped out of the fortress gates under the cover of darkness.
