Chapter 816 Blackthorn Base
After listening to the analysis of the forgery owner, the Devourer, Su Mo's eyes burst out with hot light, as if he saw countless wealth waving to him.
"So, as long as I'm lucky enough, I can have more wealth than other civilizations?"
"Theoretically, there is a glimmer of hope. Of course, the premise is that you are lucky enough. Luck plays a big factor in things like rough stones. Another point, I remember that you are very just and abiding by the rules. The things in this base are not Should they all belong to the Allies and the Federation? Why do you want to take them all?”
The owner of the forgery, Devourer, in turn teased Su Mo.
Su Mo suddenly felt embarrassed, and replied with a playful expression: "Don't say that, I still have principles, but the situation is different now. This is the fourth floor, and the first three floors belong to the Allies and the Federation. This level doesn’t count, yes, it doesn’t count. And this is the monster’s lair. I killed the monster, and the loot is mine. Besides, the alien must have dug it himself.” br>
"Does anyone believe what you say? What's the difference between taking off your pants and farting?"
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, responded with contempt.
"Believe me, just believe me, the rest is not important, haha!"
Su Mo smiled in a good mood.
"Find a way to get this rough stone away quietly. It will be of great use in the future."
The Forger Lord Devourer replied in a deep voice.
"Don't worry. When I get out, I'll ask Sun Duoxiang to move the stone away."
Su Mo replied happily that Sun Duoxiang was very reliable in doing this. It seems that this trip to Ceres is not in vain. You can really get rich.
"It's up to you, just don't screw up."
After speaking, the owner of the forgery, the Devourer, fell into silence again.
"No problem, let me see how to move out. Is it possible to get out from above?"
Su Mo looked around and suddenly found that there was another exit, and his eyes narrowed.
A moment later, Su Mo flew up in a Night Guard mecha.
When everyone waiting outside saw Su Mo coming up, they gathered around and asked anxiously: "How are you doing?"
"Don't worry, there are no monsters inside."
Su Mo said to everyone.
Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's so good, it scared us to death."
"Of course, don't be too happy. Although there are no monsters down there, it is a blood pool full of all kinds of negative energy pollution and viruses. Don't go down there."
Su Mo gave everyone a vaccination.
"Damn it, then seal the hole quickly."
Sun Duoxiang said quickly, fearing that something would happen.
"I think so too, so I'll leave this matter to you."
Su Mo turned to Sun Duoxiang and said.
"It's just a matter of sealing the entrance. It only takes a few minutes."
Sun Duoxiang replied confidently.
"You think too simply. There is another passage down there. You have to go down and seal that passage together. And it doesn't rule out that there are other exits. When you seal it, check carefully."
Su Mo's words immediately made Sun Duoxiang's face collapse.
"Ah? Boss, I have a lot of work, and I have to coordinate a lot of things. Why don't I leave this job to others."
Sun Duoxiang said with a grimace and confusion, this job is obviously thankless.
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? You will be responsible for the transportation and aftermath of this warehouse. Others can go to other warehouses to help."
Su Mo made simple arrangements.
"Okay!"
Everyone present wanted to stay away from here and left quickly.
Then Su Mo opened the Night Guard cockpit and jumped out. He walked up to Sun Duoxiang who had a bitter look on his face and said, "Come with me and I'll tell you some details."
"Okay."
Seeing that he couldn't hide, Sun Duoxiang could only bite the bullet and listen.
After Su Mo took Sun Duoxiang aside, he said in a low voice: "There's no danger down there, so don't worry about it."
"Boss, what about you?"
When Sun Duoxiang heard this, he was slightly startled and raised his head to look at Su Mo in disbelief.
"Help me do something. There is a large black stone of hundreds of tons in the center of the blood pool below. You can find a way to transport it to the Shadow so that no one can see it. That is what I want."
Su Mo simply instructed.
"I understand, boss, don't worry, I will definitely do it beautifully for you."
Sun Duoxiang's eyes suddenly lit up and he replied,
"That's fine. After this matter is finished, I have one more thing for you to do."
Su Mo still has great trust in Sun Duoxiang's ability to do things.
"What happened?"
Sun Duoxiang asked with shining eyes.
"That matter is relatively simple. You finish the matter here first."
"Okay."
——
Ceres Blackthorn Base is a giant black building that combines the shape of a pine cone and a sea urchin covering an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers.
At this time, there were dense beams of light. It was shot out from the building and hit the monster that was attacking violently.
One monster after another fell to the ground.
However, there are still a large number of monsters that slipped through the net and broke through the fire coverage area.
At this time, black steel mechas rushed out. They waved their alloy blades and rushed towards the monsters without fear, colliding with each other and continuing to fight fiercely.
"Hang in there."
The regional commander shouted hoarsely on the communication channel.
Inside the base, wounded soldiers were lying everywhere in the dark corridors.
Some had their hands and feet amputated, and some had severe burns all over their bodies.
Some bodies were highly corroded by pollution, covered with pus blisters, and kept moaning in pain.
"Doctor!"
There were medical personnel running around everywhere.
In the rest area, soldiers were lying limply, their lips were chapped and bleeding, their faces were withered and yellow, and their eyes were unfocused.
"How long do we have to rotate? Go guard the perimeter and clear out the harassing monsters."
"There are still two days."
"I feel like I can't hold it any longer."
"Don't talk nonsense, wait until we take turns guarding the perimeter, and we can allocate some food and water."
In the corner, Lin Ming sat leaning against the dirty metal wall.
At this time, several subordinates came over. They took out a nutritional bar, handed it to Lin Ming and said, "Sir Lin Ming, please eat something. You have not eaten for nearly a month."
"It's okay. After all, the genetic medicine I took is relatively advanced, so I can still hold on. Give the food to the brothers below."
Lin Ming waved his hand and replied.
"Master Lin Ming, just eat it, the brothers below have all eaten it."
"Yes, Master Lin Ming, please just eat a little. It will take several days until the quota is distributed again."
The subordinates present begged.
"Then give it to the injured brother. I can hold on for the time being. Moreover, the situation in the base is quite stable now. There are no powerful monster attacks for the time being, so there is no need to fight."
Lin Ming shook his head and said tiredly.
"Lord Lin Ming, can we still hold on?"
The soldier in front of him couldn't bear it anymore and asked in a choked voice.
"Don't be discouraged. The federal government will definitely not abandon us, and supplies will definitely arrive. As long as we hold on, there will be hope."
Lin Ming's gaze never wavered.
In the corridor, Lan Xi, wearing protective clothing, was checking an unconscious injured person. She turned her head and shouted anxiously.
"Sini, go get a stick of VC-93 antibacterial agent."
"Doctor Lan Xi, the medicine has been empty for a long time."
"Then change to CQS-02 type antibiotic."
Lan Xi shouted anxiously.
Unfortunately, the assistant Sydney standing behind was motionless.
"Why are you still standing there?"
Lan Xi shouted anxiously. She felt that the patient in front of her was dying.
"Doctor Lan Xi, the medicine is gone."
Sydney lowered her head and replied.
"What other medicines are there in the medicine library?"
Lan Xi froze on the spot and asked.
"The public drug store is now empty, and only the high-end drug store still has a little bit. But those drugs are reserved for core combatants and cannot be touched at all."
Sydney held tears in her eyes, bit her lip, and said sadly.
Lan Xi felt a little dazed in his head, as if he was about to faint. Although her body was very tired, she could still grit her teeth and persevere, but how could she bear it when she was mentally tired?
At this time, a piercing alarm sounded on her bracelet.
Lan Xi took one look at it and suddenly thought something bad, she said to Xini.
"Go to the supplies department to get some water and give it to the wounded man. No matter what, it will at least make him feel better."
After saying that, Lan Xi ran quickly towards a ward.
In just a few minutes, Lan Xi rushed into a ward.
There was a life support machine in the ward, and a man was lying on the bed next to the machine.
The man's left eyeball was removed, his right arm and both legs were completely amputated, his body was highly deformed, his skin had raised red blisters, and his body was covered with various tubes.
At this time, the man's remaining left hand was holding a nutritional catheter.
The entire instrument keeps alarming!
The adjutant standing next to him kept trying to dissuade him: "General, don't do this."
"General Feigl, what are you doing?"
Lan Xi stepped forward in panic and reconnected the pulled out catheter.
The man lying on the hospital bed was none other than General Feigel, who had been in charge of Su Mo's entry into the GT department.
"Let me die. I can't be saved in this state. There is no need to waste resources on me. Also, I don't want to become a monster. I would rather die with dignity than be alienated."
General Figel said with suppressed pain.
"General Feigel, what are you talking about? You will be fine. Do you believe me? I will definitely cure you."
Lan Xi's eyes were red, and she endured the pain and comforted her.
"Really?"
Figel forced a smile.
"Don't worry, I can definitely do it."
Lan Xi wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said affirmatively.
"I'm in so much pain, can you apply for a pain-relieving injection for me?"
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Lan Xi ran out quickly.
However, just after Lan Xi left, Feige struggled to plead to the adjutant next to him.
"Tang Lei, I beg you, give me a gun!"
"No, General, what are you going to do? Dr. Lan Xi has already gone to get the painkiller injection."
"That's useless. I know my body well. I have been highly contaminated and cannot be saved at all. I will definitely turn into a monster in the end. As a federal soldier, how can I turn into a monster? I don't want to turn into a monster. I beg you, just promise me and give me some dignity.”
Feige tried his best to raise his hand and grabbed Tang Lei's hand, trying his best to suppress the pain and said.
"General, just hold on a little longer."
Tang Lei gritted his teeth and begged.
"Tang Lei, you have been following me for so long, please."
Figur begged almost in a pleading tone rather than a command. This was the first time in his life that he had asked for help.
"General."
Tang Lei showed an expression of great pain. He pulled out a small P23 piercing pistol from his waist, left it on the hospital bed, and then turned around and walked out of the ward to the outside.
Bang~
Accompanied by a gunshot.
The alarm in the ward sounded again.
When Tang Lei heard the gunfire, he didn't go in. Instead, he covered his face with his hands, squatted down, and cried bitterly.
At this time, soldiers on alert all around rushed over, and they rushed straight into the ward.
I saw that the monitor pattern of the life support instrument had turned into a straight line.
Blood stained the entire bedside.
Figel's palms spread out and the pistol fell to the ground.
At this moment Lan Xi rushed in with a painkiller needle in her hand. Looking at the scene in front of her, she couldn't hold back any longer and howled loudly.
An office inside the Blackthorn base.
Spade looked at the material application letters, the logistics department's material emergency notice, and the latest casualty statistics report, and his hair was almost turning gray.
There were eight heads of various departments waiting in front of him.
They all came to ask for supplies, and of course there were more people waiting in the corridor outside.
"Master Spade, we really can't hold on anymore, please give us some supplies."
"We can't hold on anymore. I've allocated all my own quotas to share with others."
Spade listened to the appeals of everyone present and was unable to respond for a long time.
It's not that he doesn't want to approve it, it's just that he really doesn't. They don't know how long they can hold on alone, and every bit of the remaining supplies is very precious.
At this moment, the office door was pushed open fiercely.
"Lord Spade, something happened, General Feigel committed suicide."
A herald reported in a panic.
"What's going on?"
Spade stood up suddenly when he heard this.
"I don't know either. People from the black and white agencies are currently investigating."
"Let's go."
Spade's face was extremely ugly. Feigel was not only a veteran general in the GT department, but also a capable subordinate that Spade relied on very much.
Not long after, Spade and others arrived at the ward.
At this time, a large number of non-commissioned officers gathered outside the ward, and they were all brought out by Feigel.
Spider walked into the ward.
Tang Lei was seen confessing to the officials of the Black and White Organization in pain.
"I left the gun on purpose. I am willing to take full responsibility for General Feigel's suicide."
If it were normal, officials from the Black and White Agency would have taken Tang Lei away long ago. But they, who had always been indifferent, didn't know what to do.
Spade looked at Feigel's body, took a deep breath, and said hoarsely.
"The investigation is adjourned. Go get a Confederate flag."
After hearing this, the black and white agency officials present responded quickly.
"Yes."
Not long after, a soldier delivered a flag.
Spud took the federal flag, walked up to it very deeply, covered Feigel, and slowly raised his hand to salute.
He stood there for a long time, and finally Spade turned to Tang Lei and said.
"Send General Feigel's body for cremation and handle all subsequent matters."
"Lord Spade, I"
Tang Lei said with a choked voice.
"Don't say anything, it's not your fault."
Spade patted Tang Lei deeply on the shoulder, adjusted his attitude, and turned to leave.
He also wanted to stay a little longer and deal with the aftermath.
But he couldn't. The dead were freed, but the living were still suffering. As the commander-in-chief of the Federal Expeditionary Force, he could not fall.
Just as Spade walked out of the ward.
Lan Xi, who was standing nearby, slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with anger.
She couldn't bear it anymore and rushed in front of Spade desperately, blocking his way.
"Lord Spade, I am Senior Physician Lan Xi from the Medical Department."
Spade stopped and said in a deep voice.
"What happened?"
"I just want to ask you, where are the medicine and supplies you promised to give us before? Why haven't you given them to us? Do you know how many soldiers were obviously saved, but ended up being dragged to death? How many do you know? The soldier didn't even have an analgesic, was he still in pain? If General Er could get effective treatment at the beginning, he would not be so desperate that he would commit suicide. We have been waiting for a month, another month, another year, and another year for the supplies! , their relatives are waiting for them to go back”
At the end of Lan Xi's words, his emotions broke down and he yelled at Spade.
Spade stood there, quietly listening to Lan Xi's roar of collapse, and made no sound for a long time.
At this time, other doctors and sisters hurriedly stepped forward to hold Lan Xi, and while persuading, they apologized in panic.
"Lan Xi, don't be like this."
"I'm sorry, Master Spade, Lan Xi didn't mean it."
Spode's face changed, and he bowed to Lan Xi.
Everyone present was stunned.
Spade walked straight past Lan Xi, unable to answer Lan Xi's words.
He couldn't make any promises, because he didn't know when the supplies would be available, and maybe they would never be available.
And he couldn't tell the real situation yet.
——
At the Watcher base, a large amount of ore was packaged and transported to the Blue Whale.
Everyone had a big smile on their face and was in a good mood.
Su Mo watched all this quietly with a complicated look on his face.
At this time, Sun Duoxiang ran over in a hurry. He looked around with a sly head and reported to Su Mo in a low voice.
"Boss, everything is done."
"Yeah."
Su Mo nodded slightly.
Immediately afterwards, Sun Duoxiang said to Su Mo: "Boss, this is the last batch of ore. It will be gone after loading. Are we ready to leave?"
"Let's go!"
Su Mo took a deep breath and made a difficult decision.
To be honest, he was quite unwilling, but there was nothing he could do about it and he really tried his best.
"Ahem, boss, didn't you say that after finishing that matter, there is one more thing for me to do. I have to leave now. What is that matter?"
Sun Duoxiang looked at Su Mo with expectation. He thought to himself that if he finally finished his work, the next work would definitely be a fat one.
Su Mo raised his hand and patted Sun Duoxiang's shoulder and handed him a note.
"dig according to these coordinates, and bring what you dig back to the Shadow without anyone seeing it."
"No problem."
Sun Duoxiang said ecstatically, he guessed right, the fat chap is here.
The boss must have a lot of good things hidden in his secret. When you dig them out, you might be able to ask him for some.
At the Black Thorn base, Spade was communicating with Deputy Logistics Director Franr.
Flair said with a sad face: "Mr. Spade, I really can't hold on any longer. The head of the logistics department went to the Freedom Fortress early to wait for supplies. The logistics of the entire base was thrown into my face. As a result, there was nothing for a long time. When the supplies come, they all want to take my skin off. I want to be generous and I don’t want to embarrass them! But I can’t help it. Why don’t you arrest me? I can’t do this job.” br>
Spode raised his head and glanced at him, and then said in a deep voice: "Just hold on, if you give up and quit, it won't be a mess."
"Sir Spade, please give me an accurate answer as to when the supplies will be available."
"Without supplies, we have lost contact with the Freedom Fortress controlled by Li Ruiqi. We haven't regained contact yet, and there is a high probability that something happened to them."
Spade replied in a deep voice.
"It's over."
Fran suddenly fell to the ground paralyzed.
"Don't tell anyone about this matter."
Spade warned.
"Why don't you, Lord Spade, borrow some from other allies?"
Flair asked expectantly.
"Do you think that since we are all so miserable, their situation can be better than ours? Let me tell you the truth, they are still asking us to borrow supplies."
Spade's words extinguished Flair's last hope.
At this moment, the entire Black Thorn base sounded the alarm.
Spade frowned, raised his hand to summon the virtual image interface, and connected to Karinsha, who was responsible for external security.
Soon, Karinsha's image emerged.
"Lord Spade."
"What happened?"
"There is a large wave of alien monsters that have attacked the Black Thorn base."
"How big it is."
"The assessment scale level is B+. The most threatening monster currently found is an ordinary V-type pollution-type black spiny tail king. Wang Hai and Thuris have entered a state of readiness for battle and will soon drive the pseudo-V generation. Mecha annihilation. However, in order to prevent mutation, the alarm was raised. After all, the impact has been getting stronger recently. We suspect that this is the prelude to the impact of a large monster wave."
Karinsha answered very ably.
"I know."
Spade's expression became increasingly ugly. Not to mention whether there would be a subsequent wave of monsters, this wave would definitely cause a large number of casualties.
By then the logistics would be even tighter.
Thinking of this, Spade's head hurt more and more.
At this time, another communication connection request popped up.
Spade took one look and accepted the communication request.
Nadine's virtual image popped up, and she saluted Spade respectfully.
"Lord Spade, the commander of the expeditionary force of the Yamak Free State, Romon, has initiated a supreme meeting and invites you and the other commanders of the expeditionary forces of the three countries to participate."
"I know."
Spade responded in a deep voice.
He didn't even need to ask Nadine what the meeting was about, he already knew what the meeting was going to be. It's definitely not because of the impact he just received, it's obviously because of the supplies.
No matter how strong the incoming monster is, they can find ways to repel it, but having no supplies is really a disadvantage.
Outside the Black Thorn base, swarms of monsters rushed up like a tidal wave.
Weapons temporarily erected on the base's defense wall were bombarded with artillery fire.
The scale of this Black Thorn base is also super large, not inferior to the Watcher base in any way, and even its defense power is even higher than the Watcher base.
However, it is obvious that this base is temporarily occupied.
Without complete repairs, there are naturally no intact fortifications.
A large number of defensive metal walls are damaged and require manpower to defend them. (End of chapter)
