Chapter 610 Confession
So everyone left.
On the way, Sun Duoxiang said impatiently.
"Boss, is the target of this operation really rich in resources?"
"Fat, fat, how can it not be fat? The question is, do you have a life to eat it?"
Su Mo replied helplessly.
Xiao Wen asked calmly: "Su Mo, what is going on?"
Su Mo stopped and said helplessly: "It's like this. The Green Gore fleet found a resource star occupied by a swarm of insects. There are five stars in total. Each star is rich in resources, so rich that your mouth will water. Question Those insect swarms are not vegetarians either. It is said that there are so many of them, and the worst part is, there may be V-shaped ones among them. Are you sure you have the life to dig them up?"
After hearing Su Mo's words, Xiao Wen, Sun Duoxiang and others couldn't say a word for a long time.
"Is it no longer possible? Do you want to give up this operation?"
Xiao Wen tried to ask.
"No, if it passes, we will definitely have to fight. This time, whoever has the ability will really win. However, the specific battle plan and the division of interests have not been released yet. It is estimated that Lord Spade and the others will have to discuss it with Bello and the others. ”
Su Mo explained.
Sun Duoxiang and others looked at each other and finally said: "That is also an opportunity. It is better than wandering around in the starry sky and staring blankly."
When Su Mo heard the answers from Sun Duoxiang and others, a strange feeling flashed through his heart. He found that he seemed to have overestimated everyone's situation.
"Maybe."
"Isn't it true that we still have you, boss? We will definitely have no problem with you here."
Sun Duoxiang said with a smile.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore, let's wait for the announcement."
"Well, okay."
The next day.
Su Mo was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly.
The Black Yao's broadcast suddenly rang.
"Now a temporary announcement is being played. Lord Bello, the commander of the Green Gore fleet of the Kingdom of Annas, is about to visit the Black Glory. In order to ensure that the visiting envoys are not affected in any way, the Black Glory has now entered the second level control state. Non-important personnel are not allowed to approach or enter certain areas.”
Su Mo sat up after hearing the broadcast, with a surprised look on his face. He didn't expect Bei Luo and the others to come over.
It looks like they are about to discuss business.
The fact is that just yesterday, after Spade and the others finished their meeting, they immediately informed Bello of their decision to join the war. So Beiluo decided to personally bring a delegation to discuss the specific details of the plan, as well as the division of interests.
After Su Mo came to his senses, he immediately got out of bed and changed his clothes, preparing to go and see the situation.
When he walked out of the door, he bumped into Qian Chengxue.
"Would you like to go and see it together?"
Su Mo asked.
"Okay."
Qian Chengxue nodded solemnly.
In the conference room, Bello led a group of people and sat across from Spade and the others.
After a brief exchange of greetings, the two parties began to discuss. The first is the distribution of interests. Even though the war has not yet started, it is a bit ridiculous to start discussing the distribution of interests.
But this is necessary, because only when the interests are negotiated, everyone will work together and there will be no situation of taking advantage of the situation.
"There are five resource stars in total. My idea is very simple. Each of us will choose two of the four second-level resource stars. As for the most important third-level resource star, the distribution plan is also very simple. Follow the instructions to kill the Zerg Divide by quantity and level, as well as contribution and credit, so that no one suffers . Of course, this is the most ideal situation. It is possible that our attack will be blocked and we may not be able to defeat it. However, this is how the benefits are distributed. It is as fair and just as possible. I don’t want to make everyone feel uncomfortable because of a little benefit. ?”
Bei Luo revealed the distribution plan she had drawn up long ago.
Spade and others pondered for a while, then replied: "Okay, that's fair."
"Then let's start discussing the battle plan."
Bello said.
"Okay."
Spade responded in a deep voice.
"My opinion is still the same as what I said before. Use the cannibalization method to weaken these insect swarms bit by bit, and then pull out the insect nests one by one."
Bello spoke her mind.
At this moment, Li Ruiqi said: "Lord Beiluo, I have a different opinion. I don't know if I can express it."
"You say!"
"According to the information you provided, the types of insects in this swarm are all the same. And every time you launch an attack, the blocking insect swarm does not come from a single insect nest, which means that all insect nests will move."
Li Ruiqi said.
"That's right."
Bello nodded in response.
"In other words, these insect nests may be integrated. Once attacked, all insect nests will not sit idly by, right?"
"Yes."
"To put it bluntly, there is no difference at all between us attacking one of them and attacking them all. By then, the opponent will increase their troops like crazy, and the cannibalization plan will probably not work. The opponent will not give you this opportunity."
Li Ruiqi retorted.
"What suggestions do you have?"
Bei Luo looked at Li Ruiqi.
"I think that since we have to fight, let's fight together, so that at least the initiative is still in our hands. There are also creatures like insect swarms. If they don't defeat the insect king or queen at the core, they will not collapse. , we will only resist desperately. Even if we really win by then, we are probably not far from being doomed.”
Li Ruiqi explained his thoughts.
Bello frowned and said, "What if we fail to defeat their main force and fall into a stalemate?"
"That's okay, we can take advantage of the opportunity to contain its main force and wipe out the other insect nests nearby. On the one hand, it weakens the strength of the insect swarm, and on the other hand, it can be considered as a level II resource star, which can be excavated. Of course. Everything I said can only be achieved if we all work hard.”
Li Ruiqi analyzed calmly.
Spade thought for a moment and said, "I think what Li Ruiqi said makes sense."
Bello took a deep breath and asked: "What if we fail?"
"No, we must succeed. We cannot afford to lose. Neither the Federation behind us nor the Annas Kingdom behind you, Lord Bello, can afford to lose."
Li Ruiqi said in a deep voice.
At this time, a large number of people gathered outside the controlled area.
Everyone is waiting anxiously.
"What's going on? Haven't we reached an agreement yet? It's been so long."
"How do you think the benefits of this joint operation will be distributed? Is it possible that people from the Kingdom of Annas will be in the majority?"
"Although they invited us, I heard that this operation is very cruel and many people may be sacrificed. If they take the majority, then what's the point."
"Yes, brothers, since this time is so dangerous, do you plan to participate?"
"I actually don't want to participate, but there's nothing I can do about it."
Su Mo also looked thoughtful as he listened to the anxious discussions of the people around him.
Qian Chengxue, who was standing aside, whispered to Su Mo.
“I feel like the meeting didn’t go very smoothly. This has been discussed for a long time.”
"For such a big thing, you can't be too cautious. Just wait."
Su Mo replied calmly.
"Boss! Why are you here? Didn't you go in for a meeting?"
At this time, Sun Duoxiang's voice sounded from behind Su Mo.
Su Mo turned around and looked over and saw Sun Duoxiang, Xiao Wen, Mo Baoke and others gathered over. He shook his head and replied.
"No, the distribution of benefits and the formulation of combat plans are matters for the upper levels."
"That's right, I don't know how the talks went, whether the situation is beneficial to us."
Sun Duoxiang sighed.
"This is not something we can decide. We can just wait for the result."
Su Mo replied very calmly.
Xiao Wen said in agreement: "Su Mo is right."
Time passed little by little until it was almost evening. The soldiers guarding the control area dispersed after receiving the order.
When everyone saw this scene, they looked happy and started talking.
"The negotiations appear to be over."
“I don’t know when the results will be announced.”
Then at this moment, the Black Yao broadcast sounded.
"Dear companions, I would like to make a temporary announcement, asking everyone to put down their work and all matters. The Deputy Speaker of the Augustus Council will give a speech to the whole people in half an hour. It concerns everyone. Please do your best. Listen carefully.”
After hearing this broadcast, everyone present looked a little uneasy and whispered.
"What's going on? Did the negotiation with the Annas Kingdom collapse?"
"It shouldn't happen."
"What else can happen?"
At this time, Sun Duoxiang and others asked Su Mo in confusion: "Boss, what is going on?"
"I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing. Forget it, stop guessing, we'll find out later."
Su Mo replied thoughtfully.
"Okay."
Half an hour later, Augustus's voice rang out as promised.
"Hello everyone, I am Augustus, Vice President of the Federal Government. Everyone must know that we are about to conduct a joint operation with the fleet of the Kingdom of Annas to launch an attack on the insect nests in this area to obtain a large amount of resources. What I want to tell you is that this operation is no more dangerous than usual. Even if our two countries join forces, the chances of winning are not very high. It can range from heavy losses to annihilation here. It is not a strange thing. "
As soon as these words came out, everyone who was listening to the broadcast had a look of worry and fear on their faces.
"I believe everyone will be wondering why we should do this if it is so dangerous. It is because we have no choice. We are the Federation's First Expeditionary Corps. We have the best equipment and the best personnel to carry the Federation's largest mission. We have high expectations, but we haven’t gained much yet. Instead, the Federation’s Second Expeditionary Fleet has made a triumphant return. Do you feel aggrieved?”
Augustus said immediately.
Everyone who was listening to the broadcast looked unhappy, and no one was willing to admit that he was a loser.
Augustus then said: "Of course, if it is just a matter of face, we will not risk everyone's lives to win this opportunity. Not long ago, the Black Yao received a message from the Federation Remotely encrypted information, after the Federation received the supplies collected by the second fleet, although the situation has improved, it is still not enough, and the resource gap is still extremely serious. In other words, our families are waiting for us to return with supplies! Can you bear to disappoint them? ”
Many people who were listening to the speech shouted excitedly.
"Never let them down!"
"Full support for this operation!"
Augustus then said to everyone: "I have heard everyone's shouts, and I can also feel your determination. This time we will fight for the Federation, and I officially announce that the Black Glory will launch the first mission in history. All-round combat. From now on, all bans will be lifted and all qualified personnel will be allowed to participate in the war, whether they are on staff or civilians. If any team goes to mine resources, all the mined resources will be owned by the individual, minus taxes. All medical personnel will be on standby, and all unqualified people will serve as logistics for this operation. If necessary, Black Yao will personally do so. Join the war, we will fight to the bitter end, or else we will win! ”
In an instant, everyone shouted wildly.
"The Federation will win!!!"
Su Mo looked at the people shouting around him, and was also affected by the atmosphere of the scene, feeling a little excited.
At this time, the mobile phones in the pockets of Su Mo and others vibrated.
They all took out their mobile phones, and each one received different combat information.
Xiao Wen said: "We have been recruited, and we will follow the Third Army into the war."
"I also received a message, but the content of my message is different. It probably means that we can move freely and participate in combat freely."
Sun Duoxiang looked at the message and said.
Su Mo silently glanced at the message and put his phone away. As expected, he had also been recruited, but the specific combat content had not yet been announced.
However, the gathering time was given, and we will go to the G4 area (official members) to gather at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.
"It's over, I've been drafted too."
Mo Baoke looked sad and looked like he was going to die.
"Can you have some potential? As a combatant in the GT department, do you think you can run away?"
Chen Shan said with contempt.
"Our reserve team is ranked so low. Normally, shouldn't we be left to guard the Black Glory?"
Mo Baoke still had a sense of unrealistic luck.
"Please, didn't you listen carefully to the broadcast? When necessary, the Black Glory will act as a battleship and fight forward. What kind of guards are needed?"
Chen Shan replied helplessly.
"Boss, have you received the information about joining the war?"
Sun Duoxiang asked curiously.
"There must be, but the specific information about participating in the war has not been released. But it is estimated to be soon. Let's forget about these things and let's get together in the evening."
Su Mo pondered for a while and pointed out that no matter how stupid this action was, he could see that it was more dangerous than good.
No one knew whether everyone would be able to escape unharmed after the battle, so Su Mo wanted to have a meal together.
"Okay."
Xiao Wen replied in agreement.
"Then it's settled, I'll find a place."
Su Mo nodded and said.
——
In an office in Area K.
Mai Han looked at the combat instructions issued, his face a little distorted.
With everyone participating in the war, unfortunately he was also drafted, which meant that he also had to face the swarm.
On the battlefield, the enemy doesn't care who you are.
And according to the information he received, the insect swarm was extremely powerful this time, and there were many Type IV insects among them.
With his strength, if he collided with him, he would basically die.
But the problem is that he has no way to refuse the recruitment order, otherwise it will attract the attention of the superiors.
He completely miscalculated. He never expected that the Black Glory's previously announced random voyage was just a pretense, and its real purpose was to attack the insect swarm.
For a while, Maihan was in a dilemma.
In Midtown at night, in a private room of an inconspicuous restaurant.
Su Mo, Qian Chengxue, Mo Baoke, Chen Shan, Xiao Wen and others all sat together.
Since there may be a battle tomorrow, all restaurants are full today, and it is basically impossible to book a table.
That is to say, Su Mo acted quickly enough and found this average-quality restaurant.
Su Mo took a box of beer and put it on the table. He said to everyone: "There may be a battle tomorrow, so everyone should not drink too much tonight, just drink a little to cheer up."
"Yeah, no problem."
Xiao Wen nodded in response.
Then everyone opened bottles of beer.
Qian Chengxue also picked up a bottle of beer. When Su Mo saw it, he whispered.
"You don't know how to drink, why don't you try something else?"
"It's okay, I'm so happy today."
Qian Chengxue responded with a smile.
"Okay, then drink less."
Su Mo replied with concern.
"Yeah."
Qian Chengxue replied softly.
At this time, Chen Shan took the lead and raised his glass and said to everyone: "Everyone will go to the battlefield tomorrow. No one knows what it will be like in the future, so let's just stop thinking about it. It's not in vain for everyone to drink this glass of wine together." Let’s get to know each other.”
"Well said."
Su Mo also raised his glass.
"Cheers!"
Everyone clinked their wine glasses together and drank them all in one gulp.
"Happy!"
At this time, Mo Baoke still said with a stern look on his face.
"Don't be so miserable. Isn't there Mr. Su Mo? Mr. Su Mo will definitely protect us on the battlefield. It's impossible for Mr. Su Mo to ignore death. We will definitely be fine."< br>
Su Mo patted Mo Baoke on the shoulder and said, "What you said is correct. I would definitely save him if I saw him. But you'd better pray not to see me on the battlefield."
"Why?"
Mo Baoke looked puzzled.
"You are stupid. Su Mo must be fighting high-level bugs on the front line of the battle. You are going to be cannon fodder."
Chen Shan said with a smile.
"Bah, bah, pretend I didn't say it, don't take it seriously"
Mo Baoke quickly comforted himself.
Sun Duoxiang and others laughed when they saw this.
A few hours later, the table was empty of food and beer bottles were everywhere.
Although I deliberately restrained myself from drinking much, I couldn't hold back everyone's interest, and everyone drank more or less.
After everyone exchanged pleasantries, they went out one after another.
"Boss, let's go."
"Goodbye Su Mo."
"Slow down on the road and have a good rest after returning home."
Su Mo waved goodbye to Xiao Wen and others.
Soon only Su Mo and Qian Chengxue were left.
Su Mo looked at Qian Chengxue and saw that her fair face was flushed, and her eyes were a little blurry, as if she had drunk too much.
"Are you okay?"
"It's fine. Don't worry. Su Mo comes with me for a walk."
Qian Chengxue replied with a smile.
"Okay."
Su Mo nodded.
The two of them strolled towards the uptown area, and neither of them spoke for a while.
The atmosphere is a bit subtle.
Finally, Su Mo broke the silence with a cough and said.
"If you go to the battlefield later, if possible, come as close to me as possible. I will protect you."
"It's okay. I was assigned to the flank battlefield. The risk is relatively low. I can do it myself. In fact, I'm not worried about myself. I'm just a little worried about you, because you will most likely be sent to the main battlefield."
< br>
Qian Chengxue took small steps, put her hands behind her back, shook her head and replied.
"That's good, I'll be fine."
After listening to Qian Chengxue's words, Su Mo felt warm in his heart, he stopped and said.
Qian Chengxue looked at Su Mo in front of her, suddenly showed a faint smile and said: "Follow me, I will take you to a place."
"Where?"
Su Mo replied with some confusion.
"You will know if you come with me."
So Qian Chengxue took Su Mo's hand and ran towards the upper city.
Su Mo, who was being pulled, could clearly feel the warmth of Qian Chengxue's soft hands, and his whole mind went blank.
This is the first time they officially hold hands.
After a while, Su Mo and Qian Chengxue arrived at the observatory in Shangcheng District.
The entire observatory was empty and very quiet.
"This is my favorite place. Because it is not very open to the public, it is very quiet."
Qian Chengxue took Su Mo and found a place to sit on the floor.
The top of the observatory and the surrounding walls are made of special glass with high light transmittance. Standing here is like standing among the stars. You can clearly see the stars twinkling in the sky, giving people an immersive feeling.
“Very beautiful”
Su Mo was halfway through his words when his whole body suddenly froze. Because he saw the rosy-cheeked Qian Chengxue, turning her head and looking directly at him at close range.
He could clearly hear Qian Chengxue's breathing.
The atmosphere became a little subtle for a while.
"Well, is there something on my face?"
Su Mo asked nervously.
Qian Chengxue, who seemed to have drunk too much at this time, suddenly asked: "Su Mo, why are you so nice to me?"
"That, that."
Su Mo was also confused by Qian Chengxue's sudden question. He was at a loss for a moment.
"Do you like me?"
Qian Chengxue looked at Su Mo who was at a loss, took a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to ask. In fact, under normal circumstances, she would not ask him this.
But tomorrow we will participate in the war in the insect nest. No one knows what the future will be like. Maybe they will die on the battlefield.
In order not to leave any regrets, she asked. For this reason, she drank more wine.
In fact, after asking this question, Qian Chengxue felt her heart beating continuously. She felt that she was more nervous than Su Mo.
The two of them just looked at each other quietly under the starry sky.
This time, Su Mo didn't hesitate at all and spoke.
"Like it!"
Qian Chengxue was very happy when she heard Su Mo's words. She smiled and asked, "Why do you like me?"
Su Mo's head was a little down for a while. Why?
His mind went blank and he had no idea what to say. He was a little flustered for a moment, and in desperation, he spoke subconsciously.
"Because you look like my mother."
Qian Chengxue was a little dumbfounded when she heard Su Mo's words. How could anyone answer like that.
Su Mo suddenly came to his senses. He wanted to give himself a few slaps, and quickly explained: "That's not the case, that's not what I meant. You listen to my quibbles, no, it's not that you listen to my explanation. That's the case, actually. I noticed you at first because you did look a lot like my mother, but as I got in touch with you, everything changed. I really like you from the bottom of my heart, so I thought about you. OK.”
Qian Chengxue looked at Su Mo, who was sweating on his anxious forehead, snorted and couldn't help laughing.
When Su Mo saw Qian Chengxue smiling, the panic in his heart eased a lot.
Then Su Mo summoned up the courage to ask.
"Then do you like me?"
"What do you think?"
Qian Chengxue blinked and replied.
Su Mo had a sad face and didn't know what to say.
At this time, Su Mo heard Qian Chengxue's small voice.
"Of course I like it, fool."
After Su Mo heard this, his heart was beating wildly, and his face showed uncontrollable joy.
Qian Chengxue looked at the overjoyed Su Mo and asked with a smile: "Since when did you start to notice me."
"Ahem, from the first time we met in the elevator, how about you?"
Su Mo asked curiously.
"I have been watching you since you robbed my ship in the Star Ring World."
Qian Chengxue seemed to be stuck in memories.
"It was an accident."
Su Mo scratched his head and explained quickly.
"I know, it doesn't matter. If it weren't for that incident, maybe I wouldn't notice you. In fact, in the past days, my life was full of darkness and no color. It was your appearance that changed everything. .”
Qian Chengxue looked at the stars in the sky and replied with some emotion.
"The past is past, we have to look forward and talk about our future and dreams."
Seeing that Qian Chengxue was a little sad, Su Mo quickly changed the topic.
Qian Chengxue thought for a while and said with a look of expectation: "My dream is to save enough money, re-establish my own company, and take my sisters back to the stars and the sea."
"Well, with me, it will definitely come true. I will help you."
Su Mo stretched out his hand to hold Qian Chengxue's hand and replied solemnly.
Qian Chengxue's eyes were slightly moist, she leaned gently on Su Mo's shoulder and replied softly.
"I believe you."
The stars were shining brightly, and the two figures were leaning against each other quietly. (End of chapter)
