Chapter 465 Early Warning
He adjusted his mentality slightly and responded helplessly: "It's not too bad, I feel okay."
"Compared to the masters I know, it's so far behind!"
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, replied with a very firm tone.
Su Mo was even more speechless, and he asked a little unwillingly; "Okay, then let me ask you, if you switch to what you call a master, driving a black steel mecha, how long will it take to defeat this Type III monster? .”
"One second."
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, responded profoundly.
After Su Mo listened to the words of the forger owner, Devourer, he was too lazy to argue with him. How could he solve it in one second? It's not like squeezing an ant to death. This guy is either deceiving himself or the data is messed up.
Forget it, no matter what the problem is, there is no need to argue with it.
At this time, Su Mo suddenly remembered something. He opened his mouth and said to Guang Nao: "Aren't you able to devour monsters? There are many corpses of Type I and Type II Dokar bugs here and outside. These eggs should be It’s okay, don’t waste it.”
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, was silent for a while, then said, "Are you asking me to eat shit?"
After Su Mo heard this, he was stunned and his expression was extremely exciting. Then he coughed and replied, "I just made a suggestion."
Although Su Mo said this, he couldn't help but curse in his heart, this guy is really picky about food.
"I'm going to sleep. Don't call me if you have nothing to do."
"Wait, you've eaten so much and still want to sleep? You're not going to tell me that you haven't recharged it yet, okay?"
"The charging progress is one percent."
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, answered casually, and then fell into silence.
Su Mo was speechless after hearing this. How much can this guy eat? Only after eating so much can he recharge his energy by 1%.
"Hey~~"
Soon after, Su Mo drove the black steel mecha back to the transport ship.
As soon as he entered the cargo hold, he saw Mo Baoke again in the distance, scolding his returning companions.
"Are you idiots? I told you to look for something valuable. Look at the other teams. Which one is not full of gains?"
Su Mo jumped down from the cockpit of the mecha, walked over calmly, walked to the back of the gathering team, and stood with Zhao Bo. He asked in a low voice with a guilty conscience.
"Why is Mo Baoke so angry, and our profits are not ideal?"
It's no wonder that Su Mo felt guilty. He didn't bring back any profit at all these days, which was indeed a hindrance.
"What, our team's income is good, especially Captain Kolev found a lot of supplies. This guy Mo Baoke is complaining, we did not tell him the income in private"
Zhao Bo complained with contempt.
After hearing this, Su Mo felt a little embarrassed.
At this time, Mo Baoke's anger was almost gone, so he issued an order.
"The ship returns to rest for the next wave of searches. If you continue to fail to meet my mission targets, wait until you write a review!"
Then Mo Baoke turned and left.
At this time, Kolev stood up and said something to everyone: "Everyone has worked hard during this period. I know that you have tried your best. Just have a clear conscience and don't have too much psychological baggage. Our transport ship will be there soon." Let’s go back to the Black Glory. Let’s take a good rest after we go back. Maybe there will be big action later.”
"Understood sir!"
Everyone responded one after another.
In the evening, Su Mo followed the transport ship and temporarily returned to the Black Yao.
The temporarily parked L2 hangar was also extremely lively, with workers unloading and transferring cargo everywhere, and everyone had a smile on their face.
As the in-depth ban is lifted, more and more exploration teams are pouring in, and the profits are getting higher and higher. Although there were certain casualties, they were nothing compared to the benefits.
Su Mo picked up the phone and tried to call Sun Duoxiang to see if he could get through.
Of course, Su Mo didn't hold out much hope either.
Maybe that guy is still working outside.
Dudu~
"Boss, why did you suddenly remember to call me?"
At this time, the call was connected, and Sun Duoxiang's tired voice sounded on the phone.
"What's wrong with you?"
Su Mo felt that Sun Duoxiang was in a bad state.
"Don't mention it. It's as bad as it is unlucky. We went on an exploratory mission not long ago, but the information was wrong and we were ambushed by a monster. We managed to escape with great difficulty, but this also cost several brothers."
Sun Duoxiang was also extremely depressed. He himself also walked away from the gate of hell. The key point is that he can't blame Lu Qi for inaccurate information.
If there had been no accident, Lu Qi would have probably died.
"I'm in the L2 cargo bay hangar now. Come and find me as soon as possible."
After Su Mo listened, he simply said to Sun Duoxiang.
Sun Duoxiang was slightly startled, and subconsciously responded hurriedly: "Okay!"
Su Mo stood in the hangar and waited quietly for more than two hours. Only then did he see Sun Duoxiang running out of breath from a distance.
After a while, he panted and ran to Su Mo and said.
"Boss, boss, I'm here."
Su Mo looked around to make sure no one was staring at him, and then whispered to Sun Duoxiang.
"There is something I need you to do."
"Boss, tell me."
Sun Duoxiang answered directly without asking.
"Hand out."
Su Mo said in a low voice.
Although Sun Duoxiang was a little surprised, he still followed the instructions and stretched out his left hand.
Su Mo took out a pen from his pocket, and then wrote a series of numerical coordinates on Sun Duoxiang's left palm.
"This is?"
Sun Duoxiang asked in shock.
"This is the area I explored. I found a batch of genetic biological liquid here. There are a total of 100 boxes of Type I and ten boxes of Type II. I hid them in the wreckage nearby. You can find a way to get them back for me."
Su Mo explained the matter simply and neatly.
After hearing this, Sun Duoxiang's eyes were filled with admiration for Su Mo.
"Boss, you are so awesome that you can find such a good thing."
"Okay, stop flattering and get things done."
Su Mo replied calmly.
However, Sun Duoxiang suddenly thought of something and said to Su Mo seriously: "Boss, it's no problem for me to get this batch of goods for you, but there is something I need to make clear to you."
"What happened?"
Su Mo was also a little curious. It was rare to see Sun Duoxiang so serious.
"Boss, I will help you get this batch of goods, but I can't deliver them all to you."
"Why?"
"The Black Glory has rules. Any private exploration and mining revenue must be paid 50% of the tax, which means half of it must be handed over to the federation."
"So many?"
Su Mo was also a little surprised.
"Yes, the tax on plunder is as high as 50%. Otherwise, how could the federation turn a blind eye to our private plunders."
Sun Duoxiang replied with certainty.
Su Mo thought about it and suddenly realized something. He has never quite understood why the federation would allow capital and oligarchs to follow suit, while feelings would be subject to high taxes! This not only mobilizes the enthusiasm of all personnel for exploration, but also increases the federal income. And if the federation absorbs so much tax, it will theoretically be stronger than those capitals and oligarchs.
This is a very good rule indeed.
"Fifty percent is fifty percent."
"Well, that's not all. In addition, I also need to pay taxes to the Lin family. After all, if I want to bring the goods in legally, I must use the Lin family's channels. Although I have a very good relationship with Lin Ming, these are unavoidable. Yes. I have estimated that I have almost got it, only about 30% is left, but trust me, boss, I am absolutely not corrupt.”
Sun Duoxiang explained awkwardly.
Su Mo stretched out his hand and patted Sun Duoxiang on the shoulder and said, "You don't need to say anything, I naturally believe you. In addition, it is not bad to get 30%. If this batch of materials is handed over through my channel, If so, it’s probably just a record of some verbal praise and accumulation of points. Normally, it would be nothing, and I wouldn’t care about it, but now I’m really short of valuable supplies, so I’ll just deal with it like this.”
"Okay, I understand. I will take someone to get it right away. I will ensure that I help you, boss, handle this matter beautifully."
Sun Duoxiang answered swornly.
"Go ahead."
Su Mo nodded and said.
——
In the command room of the Black Yao, Putmi looked at the feedback report and said to Li Ruiqi with a smile
“It’s been a great harvest.”
“Not bad.”
Li Ruiqi did not refute. As the exploration deepened, the income increased exponentially.
Putmi coughed and then said: "There is also good news. Two elite exploration teams sent by the GT department found the remains of a giant transport ship and the remains of a high-level warship deep in the ruins of the starry sky. There are several wreckage and other high-value profit areas. Therefore, the GT department has applied to mobilize large forces to carry out unified-scale operations. In addition, other exploration teams have also searched many high-value areas and are also applying for the release of combat personnel.”
Li Ruiqi naturally heard the implication of Putemi's words. He wanted to dispatch a large number of troops to conduct large-scale operations, maximize the collection of resources, and maximize profits.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with his proposal at all.
But this involves a problem, and that is the planning criteria Li Ruiqi set before. The reason why Li Ruiqi was so conservative about the scavenger plan was so that he could survive without losing his arm in the event of an accident.
If so many were sent out at once, this rule would be broken.
"I'll think about it."
Li Ruiqi pondered and replied.
Just when Putemi was about to persuade, Augustolas walked in and said in a deep voice: "I don't think you need to worry so much. Putemi's suggestion is quite good."
"Since the Vice-President of Augustolas said so, let's do it."
Li Ruiqi didn't insist anymore. He had concerns, but it was obvious now. Due to the benefits, I'm afraid everyone will agree with Putmi's suggestion. In this case, why conflict.
"Well, good, then give the order."
Augustus responded with great satisfaction.
In the L2 hangar, Su Mo was lying in the mecha cab, closing his eyes and resting.
At this moment, an emergency notification sounded in the communication channel.
"Urgent notice, all reserve teams of the GT department participating in the operation, please assemble immediately after taking a break. The GT department will conduct a designated area cleaning combat mission."
Su Mo subconsciously opened his eyes and sat up. He didn't expect that there would be a collective combat mission so soon.
At this moment, Mo Baoke's urging voice sounded in the communication channel.
"Gather! Gather immediately!"
Su Mo was helpless for a while, so he quickly drove the mecha to gather.
Soon after, the Black Yao's exits opened one by one, and densely packed mechas and ships were seen leaving like a swarm of bees.
They all flew towards the ruins in the distance.
On the fourth floor of the Dunkeye mass burial area, Tous was patrolling the surroundings in a third-generation mecha, the Fierce Tiger.
A subordinate flew over in a second-generation mecha, Black Steel, and reported to Tuowushui: "The large army has entered the ruined starry sky and is expected to arrive soon."
"Well, good."
Tous nodded and responded.
At this moment, a type II alien floating beast with black wings, a whole body covered with fur, a flat head, and very sharp claws on its limbs suddenly turned red in the distance. All they could see were mechanical flying insects on their heads, and their bodies were split open at the bottom, exposing sharp needles that pierced their heads.
The next second, these floating beasts attacked in groups towards Tous and others.
"Another enemy attack!"
The subordinates around Tous immediately became alert.
"A bunch of trash fish! Destroy them!"
Tous was extremely annoyed, and of course he couldn't be blamed for this. Since entering the depths, they have been attacked and harassed by monsters inexplicably.
Moreover, these monsters that attack them usually flee after fighting for a while, making them exhausted.
Otherwise Tuows wouldn't have requested a large-scale sweep from the headquarters.
Of course, being attacked by monsters is not entirely a bad thing. No, while exterminating the monsters, they unknowingly went deep inside and accidentally found the wreckage of a giant abandoned transport ship.
"Yes!"
The subordinates responded one after another.
On the other side, Su Mo followed Kolev in a black steel.
I have to say that there are advantages to having more people. Not to mention the power of more people, at least the momentum is very good. Going deeper along the way was extremely smooth, and we didn’t encounter a few monsters at all.
Occasionally, a few unknown monsters appeared, but they were shot to pieces by Su Mo and the others.
At this moment, a prompt popped up on the Sumo operator platform.
"Mission log update: The latest combat goal, clear all lurking monsters in the coordinates 2319, 813, and 134 areas!"
At this time, Kolev said in a deep voice: "Everyone, follow me!"
"Understood!"
Everyone responded one after another.
This combat operation was still led by Kolev, while Mobauk remained behind on the transport ship. According to his words, as a commander, he needs to sit in the rear to provide Su Mo and the others with sufficient confidence and support.
Su Mo and the others were speechless after saying this.
Soon, Su Mo piloted the mecha and followed Kolev to change direction and fly towards the designated area.
In the Dusk Fortress, the silver robot looked at the surveillance images fed back from various areas.
Its red electronic eyes flash continuously, and it makes a mechanical self-talking sound.
"The prey took the bait."
However, the robot in front of it did not take action immediately. Instead, it fell into deep thought. The situation was somewhat beyond its expectations.
It was originally worried that the prey it explored in the ruins was not heavy enough and that the Black Glory would escape at the critical moment.
So they sent mechanical puppet monsters to lure the exploration team into the depths and help them explore things of sufficient value to attract more people.
It has to be said that its purpose was not only achieved, but the effect exceeded its expectations.
The number of prey that came in was very large, more than it expected.
Thinking of this, the eyes of the robot in front of him kept flashing.
He suddenly realized a problem, since the other party released so many combat troops. When the incoming troops are damaged, the mothership will follow and fight.
Then I won't be able to deal with them calmly.
Instead of doing this, it's better to change the way.
Since the opponent's mothership has released so many troops, the interior of the mothership is destined to be very empty.
Then simply attack the mothership directly and strike first.
So it stared at the Black Glory.
At this time, lines of commands are automatically generated on the holographic image operation screen.
"The Dusk Fortress propulsion system is activated!"
"Start! Bring back the combat troops."
"The latent mechanical bug's rampage plan is launched, driving a wave of monsters to attack its prey."
"The main goal of the operation: to raid the periphery and invade the mothership."
"Simulated combat evaluation in progress!"
"Data analysis on both sides of the enemy."
"Probability of winning 99.99%."
"The simulation plan passed!"
"Execute!"
In the ruins of the starry sky, the stationary Dusk Fortress began to sink, slowly began to move, and flew toward the periphery in a roundabout way.
——
Deep in the starry sky of the ruins, countless mechanical flying insects flew out from inside the floating wreckage.
These mechanical flying insects all spread out and locked onto the Type I and Type II monsters.
Like a parasite, living on its head.
Start controlling the gathering of wandering monsters.
In the distance, Su Mo was driving the black steel, carefully searching for wreckage in the starry sky and clearing out any enemies that might be hiding in the operating area.
In fact, although this job is a bit cumbersome, it is relatively easy. You just need to finish your own area.
"Hey, I'm really speechless. Why can other teams allocate the resource points discovered through exploration and gain merit! But we can only carry out the elimination mission. This Mo Baoke is really incompetent."
Zhao Bo kept complaining in the communication channel.
"That's right, it's not fair at all."
"Okay, don't complain. Don't you really believe in Captain Mo Baoke? That guy can only brag and reprimand us, and can't do anything else. It's better to count on Su Mo than on him. Wait until Su Mo Mo Huitou became a substitute, and we followed suit. ”
"It makes sense!"
"Okay, stop complaining and do your job well."
Kolev said in a deep voice.
"It's the captain."
Everyone suddenly became quiet.
Su Mo coughed and said: "Everyone has adjusted their mentality. In fact, it is good to carry out the clearing mission. Although it is a bit boring, it is relatively safe to explore resource points."
"What Su Mo said makes sense."
Everyone responded one after another.
At this moment, a dull voice sounded in Su Mo's mind.
"Get out of here, you are being targeted, and the tide of monsters is gathering."
Su Mo's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but feel stunned. Isn't this a standard slap in the face? He just said it was safe here a second ago.
"Retreat to where?"
"The rear."
But now is not the time to worry about this, Su Mo's eyes kept changing.
Then he said to Kolev through a separate communication channel: "Captain Kolev, I feel something is wrong. It is not safe here."
Kolev was also stunned when he heard Su Mo's words.
He said in a deep voice; "Are you sure?"
"Definitely, but I don't have any substantial evidence. It's more about a sense of danger."
Su Mo insisted on talking nonsense. He couldn't say it was a warning from Guang Nao.
"What should we do?"
"We should retreat immediately and notify everyone to gather together to form a strong line of defense to deal with the coming danger."
Kolev's expression changed for a while, and then he replied: "Okay! But are you sure they will listen to you? After all, you are not the commander, and I might blame you when the time comes."
"As long as you have a clear conscience."
Su Mo replied in a deep voice.
"If you say so, count me in!"
Seeing what Su Mo said, Kolev said without hesitation.
Below the edge of the Dunkeye mass burial area, countless FX-4 small defense aircraft swarmed out, quickly forming a barrier with camouflage and interference effects, and then the bloated Dusk Fortress slowly moved out.
Its scanning system silently locked onto the Black Yao.
In the command room of Dusk Fortress, the silver robot raised its four mechanical arms, and countless codes were automatically generated and entered into the operating system.
"Automatic analysis of ship structure!"
"Determine the key weakness and power output area!"
"The main gun of Dusk Fortress, the heavy ion beam cannon, begins to covertly charge!"
"Charging progress is fifty percent!"
"Fifty-five percent!"
In the command room of the Black Yao, Li Ruiqi tapped the armrest with his fingers and was watching the operation.
Due to the large number of people entering the operation this time, many relay signal devices were scattered along the way, and a large number of ships acted as signal relays.
So here you can get real-time intelligence feedback.
At this moment, an operator reported: "Report, Chief Li Ruiqi."
"What happened."
"The 86th Formation of the GT Department Reserve Force left the operation area without authorization and issued an early warning, saying that the troops were about to be attacked by monsters."
"Who specifically issued the warning? Is there any substantial evidence?"
Li Ruiqi frowned.
"Isn't it normal for monsters to attack? What's the fuss? When did the people in the GT department become so cowardly?"
Putmi replied somewhat dissatisfied.
After finally convincing Li Ruiqi, manpower was sent out. We are only halfway through the work. Is it possible that everyone should stop working just because of this trivial matter?
The operator seemed to be unhappy when he saw Li Ruiqi and Master Putmi, and he swallowed hard and said.
"It's Captain Kolev, the deputy captain of the 86th Reserve Force, and Lieutenant Sumo. In addition, they didn't explain the reason, they just said they were targeted and in danger!"
Li Ruiqi was also stunned by Su Mo's early warning.
"Absurd!"
Putmi said angrily.
At this time, a very bad premonition suddenly lingered in Li Ruiqi's head. He subconsciously asked: "Did the radar scan detect any abnormalities?"
"Everything is fine."
The operator subconsciously replied.
"Turn on the scanning device at full strength and monitor it carefully."
Li Ruiqi suddenly remembered the first time the Black Yao docked. It was also attacked by monsters, and the radar scanning device also failed to detect it.
The scanning device of this ship is not as advanced as imagined.
"Yes."
The operator was stunned for a moment and started to operate subconsciously.
As soon as I entered the command, a black warning box popped up on the entire scanning screen.
"Warning, high energy reaction detected!"
"Warning, the Black Glory is locked!"
Li Ruiqi's heart suddenly shrank, and he shouted sternly: "The energy shield is opened, and the ship will evade immediately, no matter which direction it is."
"Yes!"
The next second, the Dusk Fortress extended its main cannon, emitting a bright light. A terrifying red beam shot out instantly, melting all the debris in the way, and struck the power area of the Black Glory mothership with overwhelming force.
At this time, the Black Yao's energy shield was forming rapidly, but it was too late.
In an instant, the heavy ion beam cannon passed through the unformed energy shield and bombarded the Black Yao ship.
Boom~
A huge explosion swept across. (End of chapter)
