Chapter 489 Encounter
"It is indeed a bit abnormal, but now is not the time to think about this. Let's speed up. If we miss this opportunity, we may face greater risks in the future."
Su Mo tried his best to persuade.
"Okay, speed up!"
Jia Lan was not a sloppy person. After thinking for a few seconds, she immediately agreed with Su Mo's words.
So everyone began to rush towards the food factory at a fast pace.
Due to the accelerated action, Jialan successfully arrived at the designated area with Su Mo and others in just over half an hour. Ahead stood a huge abandoned food processing factory, one-third of which had collapsed.
Jialan waved his hand and said to a woman behind him.
"Xiao Li, take a group of people and go around from the left to investigate the situation over there!"
"Understood!"
Xiaoli nodded and responded, then led a small group of people around.
Jialan then led a group of people to go around to the right.
She expertly searched every blind spot area to make sure there were no hidden enemies.
At this time, Su Mo's mind showed a holographic scan of the entire food processing plant. There were no red dots inside, so normally there should be no danger.
It seemed that the area chosen by Jialan and the others was reliable. Their ability to survive in such a dangerous environment for so many years was not entirely dependent on luck.
After confirming that there was no danger, Jia Lan waved to Su Mo behind him, motioning for them to follow.
Su Mo and others followed with weapons in hand.
Soon they entered the food processing plant. The huge factory was full of paralyzed machinery and equipment. Although these devices are very old and covered with dust, they are still very high-end in terms of style.
Jialan said: "Xiaoli, you are responsible for keeping watch while others start searching. Be careful to prevent security guards from hiding in the corner to ambush you."
"Understood!"
Everyone responded one after another.
Su Mo turned to Qian Chengxue and others and said, "Let's start searching too!"
"Okay!"
Qian Chengxue and others also began to search.
The supplies they are looking for are simple, whether they are raw materials or finished products for food production.
In fact, a normal search mission does not require so many people. The more people there are, the easier it is to be exposed. But if you want to carry food rations for so many people, you need so many people.
Su Mo looked around and found a hidden storage room. He subconsciously walked over and then carefully opened the door.
Although the owner of the forgery, the Devourer, told him that there was no danger. But Su Mo still kept a vigilant mind, not afraid of ten thousand but just in case.
When the door was pushed open, an empty storage warehouse came into Su Mo's eyes. It was cleaner than a mouse visiting it.
When Su Mo saw this extremely clean reserve, he had a very bad premonition.
Sure enough, dozens of minutes later, Su Mo and others who were searching in the factory reunited with Jialan's people.
Jialan's companion only found half a box of synthesized high-energy compressed food.
Xiaoli said to Jialan with some sadness: "Jialan, what should we do now? This factory has no food in stock. This little bit left is of no use at all. This food storage point is completely useless."
Jialan's expression changed for a while, and finally she said: "I didn't expect the situation to worsen to this extent, but we must collect enough food."
"But where can we collect it?"
"Go to Factory No. 103. It is an unused backup food factory. The defense should not be too strong."
Jialan thought for a while and said.
"This"
Xiaoli and everyone were speechless for a while.
"Is it dangerous?"
Su Mo asked curiously when he saw this.
"Of course it is dangerous, the unused backup food factory. Although the defensive force is not very strong, if we cannot kill the security guards at the first time, or if the security guards make a mistake and slip through, we will let them pass on the information. The enemy's large forces will be wiped out."
Xiaoli gritted her teeth and said.
Jialan turned to Su Mo and the others and said, "We are going over there for a try. The danger has increased significantly, so you should not follow us."
"We are considered companions. How can we shrink back when there is danger? We are not so squeamish, and we are not afraid of death."
Lin Ming and others said nonchalantly.
Su Mo also said: "Don't worry about that."
"Then let's go."
Jialan finalized the matter.
Then they immediately left the food processing factory and moved towards the distance.
Not long after walking, red dots immediately appeared in the holographic image in Su Mo's mind.
Su Mo patiently continued to follow Jialan. If the red dots weren't too close, he would just pretend he didn't know. If you get too close, you can only solve it immediately.
But it looks like the road ahead won’t be easy.
A giant mecha arsenal in the underground city.
At the door, a group of federal personnel wearing mechanical armors were rapidly shooting at the incoming security guards.
The leader, the captain, shouted anxiously behind him.
"Master Ye Wuhen, Master Xiao Jie, we can't hold on any longer."
"Hold on a little longer!"
In the arsenal, Ye Wuhen and Xiao Jie looked at the brand-new third-generation mechas, Hunting Hyenas, with greed in their eyes.
At this time, mechanics are cracking the encryption devices of these standard mechas.
But it is a pity that the time given to them is too short, and the level of these mechanics is limited and they cannot break it at all.
"Hurry up!"
Xiao Jie urged with some annoyance.
At this time, a subordinate ran in in panic.
"No, we can't hold on, the other side has dispatched Type II War Guardians!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a cannonball flew in and landed aside.
Boom~
A violent explosion suddenly sounded.
Xiao Jie and others instinctively squatted down and held their heads to avoid the attack.
Outside the arsenal, each one is twelve meters high. The lower body is designed with heavy crawlers, and the upper body is like a robot, except that there are no mechanical arms, replaced by two dark gun barrels.
Type II War Guardians with rows of concealed missile launch ports on their chests drove over.
Then shells and missiles were fired one after another.
Boom!
The defensive personnel were blown to pieces with screams!
……
When Ye Wuhen saw this situation, he also showed a hint of fear. The shadow of death overwhelmed greed, and he said to Xiao Jie in a panic.
"No, we must withdraw, otherwise we will be dead."
Xiao Jie's expression was a little uncertain. He was so fat that he was about to fly away. You must know that there are third-generation standard mechas parked here. And it's the most advanced model, still powered by energy. If you can take it back and hand it in privately, it will be released.
At this moment, Xiao Jie suddenly turned his head and looked at the end of the production line.
Without saying a word, he rushed forward, pulled out an alloy blade from his waist, and plunged it into the terminal computer.
Click!
Xiao Jie dismantled the terminal computer in a few seconds, then reached out and pulled out a black data box from inside. He looked at the black box with an extremely excited smile on his face.
"Let's go!"
Then Xiao Jie and the others began to evacuate in a panic.
On the other side, Su Mo and the others shot and killed the security guards they encountered along the way and moved forward with difficulty.
Su Mo reminded Jia Lan intentionally or unintentionally.
"The road ahead seems not easy to walk and is a bit narrow. There are too many blind spots, making it easy to hide security guards."
Jialan stopped, observed carefully, and then said: "Go to the right."
“The right side is pretty good.”
Su Mo smiled and agreed, feeling a little tired, but being tired is better than being treated like a monster.
Just as Su Mo and the others were walking to the right, Jia Lan looked at Su Mo inadvertently.
She was more or less aware of a problem.
Su Mo was influencing his route choice intentionally or unintentionally, and he couldn't refute it yet. Although there were still attacks on the road, the extent of the attacks was nothing and was within the tolerance range.
During the whole process, only one team member was accidentally attacked by a beam of light and suffered a slight injury to his arm.
Jialan then called up the virtual map in his helmet. They were now very close to the backup food factory.
As long as you cross this street, you should be able to see the figure.
"What are you thinking about? How about we speed up?"
Su Mo suggested with some guilt.
It's not that Su Mo is too talkative. This road is safe now, but it won't be so later.
"Let's go!"
After Jialan clarified his thoughts, he replied without any nonsense.
So they accelerated their progress, and without any surprise, half an hour later, Su Mo and others touched the periphery of the backup factory. Everyone hid behind different ruined buildings and observed the huge food factory.
Jialan observed the outside of the factory and reported the situation to everyone in a low voice on the communication channel.
"There are twenty security guards at the main gate, two behind the collapsed landmark on the right, and a UES-03 oval floating reconnaissance buoy device in the sky"
Su Mo, Qian Chengxue, Lin Ming and others also felt respectful after listening to Jialan's forecast.
The investigation was very sophisticated and precise.
After the report, Jialan continued: "Xiaoli, you first lead a team of people to the area around the factory and install the GY-02 jamming device. At the same time, find the underground optical cable extension area and install the GY-01 type on it. Jammer, be sure to temporarily block communication with artificial intelligence in this area.”
"No problem."
Xiaoli immediately led a group of people to the side.
Jialan turned to Su Mo and others and said, "After Xiaoli installs it, start the jamming device. We will have one hour of action time. During this period, we must kill all the enemies and not allow the internal enemies to escape." , and take away enough food at the same time.”
"This is no problem, but can Xiaoli handle it?"
Su Mo asked worriedly.
"You don't have to worry about this. Xiaoli is my most powerful sister."
"I'm not doubting her ability, it's just that underground optical cables are hard to find."
"No need to worry about this, we have facility structure diagrams for all areas."
Jialan said silently.
Su Mo immediately realized that she seemed to have asked a question she shouldn't have asked. This was her home, how could she not know.
"Okay."
After a while, Xiaoli's slightly excited voice sounded in the wireless communication channel of the mechanical armor.
"Done! The time is set and it will start in ten minutes."
Jialan waved his hand and ordered everyone to disperse and surround the entire factory.
When the time countdown ended, Jialan took the lead and jumped out of the hidden area and rushed towards the food factory. She raised the beam gun in her hand and accurately fired at the UES-03 floating reconnaissance device.
Bang bang~
A floating oval reconnaissance was shot down.
At the same time, Lin Ming, Qian Chengxue and others also rushed to the food factory and suppressed the security guards who rushed out with fire!
咻咻~
The enemies guarding the food reserve factory were destroyed one by one.
Su Mo quickly moved to the left. His vision penetrated the factory wall in front of him. A security guard crawling very fast was about to escape.
After suffering the loss of Lin Ming being followed, how could Su Mo make the same mistake again? He caught up with him accurately and pulled the trigger on the security guard.
call out!
The beam gun fired a red beam, accurately hitting the guardian's head.
Expanded~
The security guard fell straight to the ground, with electric sparks constantly coming from his head.
Reports kept ringing in the communication channel.
"The area southwest of the food factory has been cleared!"
"The area north of the food factory has been cleared!"
Su Mo was also full of confidence after listening to the reports that kept ringing. Although it was the first time for both parties to cooperate, they cooperated very well.
The holographic scan image is presented from the optical brain, and the red dots are rapidly disappearing.
Except for the one I killed, basically no fish slipped through the net.
"Be prepared to break into the factory. Don't worry about anything else after entering the factory. Check each area first, and don't leave a blind spot."
Jia Lan gave orders while shooting.
"Understood!"
Everyone responded one after another.
Soon Su Mo and others all broke into the food factory, which was half in ruins compared to the previous one. The interior of this food reserve factory is extremely tidy, with brand-new equipment in standby mode.
The crowd spread out and started searching every corner.
From time to time the banging sound of shooting could be heard.
Seven or eight minutes later, the entire food factory was cleaned up.
"Safety is basically confirmed, everyone is on alert!"
Seeing that it was almost done, Jialan issued an order.
At this time, Lin Ming came over and asked with some worry: "There seems to be no food here. When we were searching just now, we didn't see any food?"
"It doesn't matter. It's normal to have no food. This factory has not been opened yet. But the raw materials are full. You can produce as much as you want. Our people have already started the power supply."
Jialan explained.
"That's it."
Su Mo and others suddenly realized.
Just then, there was a snap!
All the lights in the entire factory came on, and a 100-meter-tall cylindrical machine appeared in front of everyone. Immediately afterwards, all the surrounding equipment started to operate, and the innermost console system also started to start.
Jialan walked towards the console, and Su Mo went over to take a look out of curiosity.
Jialan picked up a special USB flash drive and inserted it into the external interface of the console.
Immediately, code boxes popped up on the console, and the system was soon cracked.
The complete operation interface pops up.
Jialan reached out and clicked "Produce"!
I saw that the production machines inside the factory also began to operate, and the assembly line conveyor belt began to rotate. At this time, the square columns on the conveyor belt fell vertically. When it rose again, there were high-energy compressed square iron boxes on the conveyor belt.
The efficiency of this production shocked Su Mo and others.
"This is too awesome."
Jialan proudly told Su Mo: "Our food factory can produce more than thirty kinds of food of different specifications, among which this type of compressed food has the highest nutrition. Just a small piece can produce a ton of nutrients. Liquid, but it also has a disadvantage, that is, it has no taste. In addition, if a factory like this is fully produced, it can easily supply more than millions of people for a year."
"It's indeed amazing. As for the taste issue, I don't think there is any need to care. In this situation, not starving to death is a blessing."
Su Mo replied with some emotion.
"Well, that's it."
Jialan looked at the pieces of food that had been produced, with an imperceptible smile on her tense face. She couldn't remember the last time she saw so much food.
More than half an hour later, Jialan took the initiative to shut down the production line. She had produced enough supplies, and she had no intention of wasting them.
"Leave some people as warning combatants, while the others move as much as they can."
Jialan gave the order ably.
Everyone happily began to move supplies, because basically everyone wore mechanical armor and injected genetic medicine. Therefore, everyone has a strong load-bearing capacity, and it is very easy to carry two to three hundred kilograms.
Soon everything will be ready.
Jialan glanced at the time and saw that the shield was almost reaching its limit.
"Let's go!"
Everyone followed Jialan and began to evacuate.
They quickly withdrew from the arsenal and quickly returned the way they came.
In the underground city, Xiao Jie and others were like bereaved dogs, trying to escape!
I saw a series of security guards behind him, like mad dogs, chasing after him.
Type II war guardians rushed over like bulldozers, and then grenade launchers extended from behind them!
Bang bang!
The grenades fell like raindrops.
Rumble~
ah!
There were screams one after another.
"Save me~"
"Run!"
Xiao Jie shouted in shock and anger, not caring about the injured personnel at all.
At this time, Ye Wei ran to Ye Wuhen and Xiao Jie, with a hint of fear on her face and said, "We can't outrun those robots. If we continue like this, we might be annihilated."
"If you can't run, you have to run. We only have more than a hundred people left. How can we be the opponents of those guys? Xiao Jie, think of a way!"
Ye Wuhen was also extremely regretful. If he had known better, he would not have been so greedy to attack the arsenal, but there was no use regretting now.
"Isn't that what I'm thinking about?"
Xiao Jie's eyes kept moving.
At this moment, a prompt suddenly popped up in Xiao Jie's helmet.
"Scan to the signal source!"
Then green dots popped up one after another.
Xiao Jie was immediately overjoyed and said excitedly: "The scan found Lin Ming and the others. They are right in front. We are saved. Let's go and join them."
"Is this appropriate?"
Ye Wuhen hesitated slightly.
"We are almost dead, why do you care so much! Besides, we are also performing federal tasks! What reason do they have for not saving us?"
"Damn it, run forward with all your strength!"
In the street in the distance, Su Mo and others were evacuating quickly. At this time, they heard dense explosions and black smoke billowing into the sky in the distance.
"Get out of here quickly, we have a battle not far away."
Jialan said with a slightly changed expression.
"The sound of the explosion is approaching us, and it seems to be coming towards us."
Xiaoli said nervously.
"Let's go!"
Jialan immediately issued the order and led everyone to flee quickly.
But even so, the explosion not only did not move away from them, but got closer and closer.
Suddenly, Su Mo's and the others' helmet image auxiliary screens showed green dots approaching them, and behind them were all dark red dots.
Lin Ming frowned slightly, looked at the code identifying the signal source and said.
"It's Xiao Jie and Ye Wuhen."
"What the hell are they doing?"
Qian Chengxue's heart sank slightly and replied.
Lin Ming's expression suddenly changed, and he tried to establish a wireless communication request with Xiao Jie. As a result, the communication was successfully established smoothly.
Before Lin Ming could speak, Ye Wuhen immediately shouted anxiously.
"Is it Brother Lin Ming? Please help us, we are being chased by those robots now, and we can't hold on any longer."
Lin Ming said calmly; "Ye Wuhen, hold on, we are transporting food with our friends from the Acer Empire now, and we cannot support you immediately. You change the direction of escape first. After we unload the food, we will leave the team and immediately Support you.”
"But."
Just as Ye Wuhen was halfway through his words, Xiao Jie directly interrupted and shouted anxiously.
"No, it's too late. We can't hold on anymore. There's really no way to escape. There are dead ends all around."
"Xiao Jie, listen to me, we can't lead you here directly now, we are not ready for battle at all."
Lin Ming comforted him as quickly as possible.
"We really can't hold on. If we run in other directions, we will die. Brother Lin Ming, are you going to die without saving us? We are companions! I really can't help it..."
Lin Ming didn't expect Xiao Jie to say that, and felt a little angry inside. Almost every one of them has a pile of compressed food tied to their bodies, and there are no bunkers nearby. Isn't this killing people? What's more, Jialan and the others are still with him. Isn't this a trap for them?
"Xiao Jie, as a commander, I order you to change direction immediately, and we will go to support you immediately!"
However, just in the middle of Lin Ming's words, the communication was cut off by Xiao Jie.
Su Mo also realized that the situation was serious. His expression suddenly changed and he shouted: "Everyone, be careful, prepare to fight!"
Jialan and others immediately drew out their knives, cut the ropes tied to their bodies, unloaded the food, and drew out their weapons.
The next second, Xiao Jie and others rushed out from the side street. They rushed towards Su Mo and the others without saying a word.
Jia Lan and others looked at Xiao Jie and others rushing out. They immediately raised their guns and pointed at them. It must be these guys who lured the enemy over.
Lin Ming immediately shouted: "Don't attack them, they are our own people."
Although Jialan was very annoyed, he still issued the order.
"Attack the security guard behind."
Su Mo also cursed in annoyance.
"Idiot!"
They hurriedly fired fiercely at the security guards behind Xiao Jie and others!
咻咻~
Security guards burst out one after another.
Suddenly, the pressure on Xiao Jie and others was greatly reduced, but they did not turn around and fight back immediately, but continued to rush towards Su Mo and the others.
"What the hell are you doing, are you running away from us? Fight back!"
Su Mo also felt extremely annoyed.
At this moment, there was a roar, and Type II War Guardians were caught up.
"No, spread out!"
Jialan shouted anxiously when he saw the war guardian.
I saw twelve War Guardians opening their belly launchers at the same time.
Bang bang~
Short-range missiles were fired out one after another, more than a hundred in total.
When Su Mo saw it, he was shocked and jumped to the nearby ruins bunker.
Rumble~
There was a violent explosion.
Suddenly, debris flew everywhere and blood splattered~~
Su Mo shook his head, got up, and turned to look beside him. There were at least a dozen corpses of Acer Empire people lying on the ground.
Many people were injured and fell to the ground, groaning in pain.
Su Mo's face suddenly became very ugly.
At this time, Jialan was completely angered, and she rushed towards a war guardian with red eyes.
"Asshole!"
ps: Sorry, I have strictly controlled and checked these two days, and there may be a lot of things going on. I will update it when I have time, please understand. (End of chapter)
