Sun Duoxiang also swallowed his saliva at this time and asked with difficulty.
"Boss, all these monsters are running around in the base, shouldn't they all be wiped out?"
Su Mo narrowed his eyes, observed carefully and said: "It shouldn't be as bad as imagined. You have to know that the Federation alone has over 100 million troops stationed on the front line. What is the concept? With so many troops stationed here, if it is really
The weapons were completely destroyed, and the remains of the weapons would not only be this small, but the base may have been abandoned or moved.”
"So what do we do now?"
Wang Ce and others are a little at a loss now.
Lin Yaotian suggested calmly: "Under normal circumstances, even if the base falls and the troops temporarily withdraw, they should not be too far away."
"In this case, Sun Duoxiang, please find a relatively safe place to land near the Watcher base, and we will search the area."
After listening to Lin Yaotian's words, Su Mo turned around and gave orders to Sun Duoxiang.
"no problem!"
Sun Duoxiang responded quickly.
Su Mo naturally turned his head and said to everyone: "Don't think too much now, everyone, go and prepare. We will land when we find a suitable place. At that time, we will use the ship as a base. Some people will defend and the other will go out.
Search for traces of the large army!"
After all, the interference on Ceres is too strong, and electronic equipment cannot be used at all, so the most primitive method can only be used.
"good!"
Lin Yaotian and others nodded in response.
Unknowingly, Su Mo naturally became the leader of everyone. Everyone did not reject his words and subconsciously obeyed him.
...
A moment later, the Shadow and the Blue Whale landed on a relatively flat piece of land northwest of the Watcher Base, five hundred kilometers away.
Not long after, the Shadow's exit opened.
Mechas rushed out one after another and quickly moved to all directions of the ship to provide warning.
Although I had roughly observed before landing, there were no monsters here, but some were small and hidden.
After everything was prepared, Su Mo and others walked down.
The moment they stepped out of the ship's boarding exit, they clearly felt the change in gravity. Especially for those wearing ordinary second-generation mechanical armor, walking became extremely difficult, and their feet felt as if they were filled with lead.
Su Mo stepped on the earth of Ceres. The earth was very thick, and a strange sense of accomplishment emerged in his heart.
Looking back, I can brag to others that I have been here.
At a glance, there are red undulating mountains, everything is bare, and there is no green vegetation at all.
In the distant sky, crimson clouds were rolling, with terrifying lightning flashing in them, making people instinctively feel fear.
At this time, a set of parameters emerged in Su Mo's eyes as the owner of the forgery, the Devourer.
Ceres(23321,32111,92111)
Surface temperature: 76℃
Air Badness Index: Level A (contains a variety of toxic gases, extremely low oxygen content, and rich in high concentrations of negative energy.)
...
The environment here is worse than imagined.
"Wow, this is second-grade iron concentrate."
At this time, a surprised sound made Su Mo and others subconsciously turn their heads to look over.
I saw a rather young man from the Xiao family lying on the ground and exclaiming.
Xiao Qijin coughed, and said with a slightly embarrassed face: "Xiao Fei, what's all the fuss about? Ceres has a lot of resources. Second-level iron ore like this is just rubbish on the street."
"Yes, Grandpa,"
Xiao Fei replied with some embarrassment.
Su Mo shook his head and said, "There are secondary mines everywhere under your feet. This planet has become ridiculously wealthy."
"The resources are abundant, but the risks are also extremely high, and the cost of extraction is also extremely high. Basically, you are trading your life."
Lin Yaotian said with a very complicated expression.
"Too."
Su Mo nodded and responded.
At this time, Sun Duoxiang's subordinate Wei Li came over controlling the IV generation biological mecha and reported: "Boss, the surrounding vigilance has been completed, and there are basically no problems."
After hearing this, Sun Duoxiang turned to Su Mo and said, "Boss, there is no problem."
Su Mo nodded slightly, and said to Lin Yaotian and others: "There are many monsters wandering here, so they are not suitable for large-scale searches and can easily cause commotion among the monsters. We try to send out elite teams and disperse the search. Under normal circumstances, if
The large force is nearby, so it should be easy to search. In fact, the most effective method was to use ships to search in the air, but the ship targets are too big and the danger factor in the sky is too high, so it is simply not feasible."
"We understand, let's arrange a search."
Lin Yaotian and others did not hesitate at all. The top priority was to find the main force.
Ceres is too unfamiliar to them, and they have no idea of the dangers lurking here.
Even though they seem to have nothing going on right now, there are actually many crises surrounding them.
You have to know how many troops are stationed here. They can't even support such a large Watcher base, let alone them.
Su Mo turned to Sun Duoxiang and said, "You should also arrange for some smart people to search for it."
"Don't worry, boss, leave this matter to me."
Sun Duoxiang took over the job quickly.
In fact, Su Mo also thought about searching for it himself, but this idea was rejected by the owner of the forgery, the Devourer.
The reasons it gives are irrefutable.
First, the interference here is particularly serious. The effect of his personal search is about the same as that of ordinary people. Moreover, if the pseudo-V-generation mecha and Youwei search, it will be easier to attract powerful monsters.
In addition, searching is a very time-consuming job, and driving for long periods of time is extremely taxing on the body.
The most important thing is, no matter how busy the ship is docked here, it may be attacked by powerful monsters at any time.
He is more needed to guard here.
...
A few days later, in the Shadow conference room.
Su Mo and others gathered together and were listening to the feedback from various search teams.
"We searched nearby mining areas and found a large number of instruments and mining equipment, but still no living people were found."
"We searched the area east of the Watcher base and found no human figures, just some traces of past activities."
"We searched the defensive area along the border with the Imperial Army and found many remaining fixed weapon fortifications, but we still did not find any large troops."
...
Tired reports from the captains of each search team.
Su Mo became more and more silent as he listened to the feedback.
Wang Ce and others communicated in low voices, thinking that they were also very troubled by this result.
This is not a good sign, especially coupled with the disappearance of the Free Fortress, the combination of all this feels extremely strange.
Lin Yaotian said in a low voice at this time: "Under normal circumstances, we shouldn't be unable to find anyone."
"We all know what you said. The problem is that no one can be found. Moreover, the number of monsters wandering outside the ship has increased significantly in the past few days. If we continue to stay, we will probably have problems ourselves."
Xiao Qijin said helplessly.
"Then we have to keep looking."
Lin Yaotian's expression did not waver at all, and he did not care at all about the increasing danger.
"Lin Yaotian, we all understand how you feel. We also want to find a large army. If nothing else, we have many relatives in it, but now we have to consider reality."
...
At this time, Su Mo raised his head to interrupt their words and said calmly.
"Is there a possibility that the base has not completely fallen and the large troops are just hiding under the base?"
Hearing what Su Mo said, everyone looked at each other
Qian Chengxue said in agreement: "There is a possibility. How can such a huge Watcher base with so many garrison troops be really lost? Moreover, the garrison troops are not only from the Federation, don't forget that there are also the other four major alliance countries.
of."
When Su Mo heard this, he had a puzzled look on his face.
"Wait a minute, doesn't the Watcher Base belong to our Federation? Why are there soldiers from other Allied countries? Are you mistaken?"
"Xiaoxue is right. Troops from the other four countries are stationed in the Watcher Base, so it is normally more difficult to destroy. In addition, there is nothing surprising. The Watcher Base does belong to the Federation. This base is the number one in the Federation.
One occupied it, but due to the alliance relationship and in order to cope with the pressure from the imperial army and share the impact of monsters, troops from the other four countries were allowed to move in."
Lin Yaotian gave Su Mo a rough analysis of the situation.
"I see."
Su Mo understood what was going on after hearing Lin Yaotian's explanation.
Wang Ce said worriedly: "Your analysis is reasonable, but all of this is just speculation without evidence, and we are just relying on us to touch the Watcher base? Isn't this a suicide? If the main force is not inside, wouldn't we be even more stupid?
?”
"It doesn't necessarily mean you will die if you touch it. We can organize an elite force and sneak in to find out the information. I also know that it is very risky to do this, but we don't have any information about the large army at all. Even if the large army is not inside, sneak in and keep watch.
We can certainly get some clues more or less from our base."
Su Mo took a deep breath and said.
He actually thought it was quite crazy, but Wang Ce and the others were right about one thing. Keep squatting here and searching. Before you find the large army, you might be surrounded by swarms of monsters, and you won't be able to protect yourself by then.
.
"I agree."
Lin Yaotian said calmly.
"Well, let's do it, but Mr. Su Mo, I have something unpleasant to say. If it really can't be done, then consider the worst option and prepare to evacuate. At that time, our priority will be to deal with what happened here.
Reported to the federation."
Wang Ce and others weighed it up and said.
"Okay, everyone, get ready. We will officially set off in three hours."
Su Mo was not stubborn and readily agreed.
...
Three hours later, the elite troops of the Wulongshou family and Sun Duoxiang's troops began to gather.
One pseudo V-generation mecha, thirty IV-generation mechas, and two thousand III-generation mechas stood neatly together, which was very spectacular.
I have to say that the Wulongshou family has a very rich heritage.
In particular, the fake V-generation mecha Red Dragon Flying Insect with its head is no less than the most conspicuous presence. Like a pearl, it attracts the attention of many companions.
"Did you see that fake V-generation mecha? It's so cool!"
"Of course I saw it. That is Li Ze from the Wang family. He is very powerful."
...
Li Ze listened to the discussions on the public channel.
The gloom in his heart was swept away, and he felt unprecedentedly happy, as if his highlight was back at this moment.
Unfortunately, at this moment, a cry of surprise shattered his sweet dream.
"Look!"
"What kind of mecha is that!"
"I don't know, but it looks stronger than Li Ze's one from the looks of it!"
...
I saw Su Mo flying in front of everyone in the pseudo-V generation Youji and landing next to Li Ze.
Although Li Ze's pseudo-V-generation biological mecha, the Red Worm Flying Dragon, is quite domineering, but compared to Youji, it is obviously not of a high quality.
"Ghostly!"
When Wang Ce and others saw the pseudo-V-generation mecha Youji driven by Su Mo, everyone's expressions twitched.
Then his expression became extremely exciting.
Especially Ye Quan's heart was filled with regret. He never expected that the pseudo-V-generation biological mecha Youji was actually piloted by Su Mo.
Although Youji's deeds have not been widely circulated, they are very famous among high-level officials in various countries.
You must know that the pilot of Youji is now recognized by the Imperial Army as the strongest master in the alliance.
Logically speaking, Su Mo should be close to the Ye family.
Now that he is the son-in-law of the Lin family, the more he thinks about it, the more heartbroken he becomes.
.......
Li Ze looked at Su Mo's mecha, his brows almost knitting together. Although he had been mentally prepared for the opponent's pseudo-V-generation mecha, he didn't expect it to be so much higher quality than his.
The pseudo-V-generation biological mecha Red Dragon Flying Insect he piloted suddenly lost its flavor.
Su Mo said calmly: "Everyone, follow me!"
"good!"
Everyone responded one after another.
So Su Mo led everyone towards the Watcher base.
Along the way, we also bumped into wandering monsters, but fortunately these monsters were not very strong. The strongest one was a type IV elite alien species, the gray-toothed salamander.
Su Mo didn't even need to take action, Lin Hai and others just took action and cleared them up.
In the private communication channel, Su Mo told Qian Chengxue, who was driving the Night Guard mecha: "Don't stay too far away from me. If you have any problems, come to me as soon as possible."
"Don't worry, I will pay attention to my own safety. If I really can't hold on anymore, I will take the initiative to approach you. Don't worry about me."
Qian Chengxue responded softly. Of course she knew that Su Mo was worried about her.
"good."
Su Mo said no more.
At this time, the huge Watcher base was getting closer and closer, and its thousands-meter-high alloy defensive walls came into view.
There is a fixed fire turret every ten meters on the defensive wall.
The entire defensive wall was stained with various dried blood stains, and a large number of monster bones were piled underneath.
But these skeletons had no flesh and blood, and were all eaten clean by subsequent monsters.
From time to time, you can see scavengers three or four meters tall, with sharp teeth and claws, and a body like a wolf, turning over the bones.
Their eyes are glowing green one by one.
The monsters here are not picky about their food. They will eat whatever is available. If there is really nothing to eat, monsters of the same species will also eat it.
Su Mo was also very interested in the base in front of him. Although the base was riddled with holes, it was still as spectacular no matter how he looked at it.
It covers an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers, and a base is an independent kingdom that can easily accommodate hundreds of millions of troops.
I don’t know which civilization was built with such great efforts in the first place, and it was able to stand in such a harsh area of Ceres for so long without being wiped out.
"Go to the right. There is a gap in the defensive wall. We can enter from there. The only trouble is that there are more scavengers, but fortunately, the highest number of scavengers is type III."
Lin Yaotian said to Su Mo.
"Okay, just rush in through that gap, but try not to use hand-to-hand combat while firing, so as not to attract more monsters."
Su Mo followed Lin Yaotian's prompts and looked in the right area to defend the wall and collapse a huge gap, which could easily allow the mecha troops to enter.
"Okay, I'll tell everyone now."
Lin Yaotian replied in agreement.
After a while, Su Mo and others touched the area near the gap.
Before they could get closer, the scavengers turned their heads one by one and looked at Su Mo and the uninvited guests.
Facing so many huge mechas, they didn't show any fear. Instead, they all rushed forward like crazy.
All they see is the desire for food.
Su Mo piloted the pseudo V-generation mecha, Youji, and swung the particle light blade in his hand to sweep across, cutting off four or five scavengers.
Qian Chengxue and others took action without hesitation!
Card!
Thick blood spattered everywhere.
Su Mo controlled Youbi like a god of death, crushing him all the way in.
No surprise, he was the first to break into the Watcher base.
At a glance, eight spectacular steel passages like bridges extend to the huge light tower in the center of the base.
Everything inside the base is hollowed out, like holes.
The bridge-like passage is littered with remains of weapons, fragments of protective clothing, abandoned fixed anti-aircraft weapons, and random monsters wandering around.
If you look closely, you will see that three of the eight bridge-like passages have been blown up.
It should have been done when you were on defense and couldn't hold on any longer.
Su Mo looked at the bottom of the hollow, and his eyelids twitched. There was a huge pit of corpses underneath.
Mountains of monster corpses.
At this time, the type III mutant black bat beasts flying around in the base rushed toward them one by one as if they had discovered prey.
Qian Chengxue and others, who were following closely behind, immediately controlled the mecha to rush forward and kill the black bat beasts that rushed towards them one by one.
Not long after, everyone rushed in. Seeing the scene in front of them, everyone took a breath.
The structure of this base is truly amazing, easy to defend and difficult to attack!
"What do we do next?"
Lin Hai swallowed nervously and asked.
"Cross the bridge and walk inside. The entrance to the base should be at the light tower in the middle."
Although Su Mo has never been to the Watcher base, he probably knows what's going on after taking a look at the structure here.
"It should be right."
Lin Yaotian nodded in agreement.
Su Mo said to everyone without saying a word: "Follow me!"
Everyone followed Su Mo and walked forward little by little.
Soon everyone walked onto the bridge-like steel passage, and from time to time everyone glanced at the corpse pit below.
Everyone's heart is racing to the extreme. It would be a lie to say that they are not afraid.
...
After a long time, after killing some harassing monsters, everyone arrived at the central area of the Watcher's base with extraordinary smoothness.
A disc-shaped platform first comes into view. A cone-shaped building in the center of the platform reaches straight to the sky. The light tower is located at the top of this cone-shaped building.
Su Mo and the others looked around.
Surrounded by the remains of mechas, it can be seen that this place has experienced a lot of brutal fighting.
In addition, these mecha wreckage all have one characteristic in common. The cockpits were violently broken open. Looking at the blood stains inside, you don't have to think about it to know what happened.
At this time, they saw a huge entrance hundreds of meters high directly in front of them. Fortunately, the gate at the entrance was open and not closed.
"Are we really going in? Isn't this too rash?"
Wang Ce looked at the entrance and asked in a panic.
"If you have any other choice, just follow me."
Su Mo responded in a deep voice.
"good!"
Everyone responded one after another.
Su Mo took a deep breath and took the lead in controlling the mecha to enter.
Don't say you're not nervous, that would be a lie, but there is no other way. There must be a leader. He is the strongest among everyone. If he doesn't take the lead, whoever takes the lead will take the lead.
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, said to Su Mo in a deep voice: "It's strange. I feel that after entering this base, the scanning ability is further restricted. It may be related to the material of this base. Be careful, because I can't give it to you.
A very accurate warning, don’t be attacked by surprise.”
"Can't you give me some good news?"
Su Mo's nerves were tense. As he walked forward, he was wary of his surroundings.
The light inside the base is relatively dim, with only the emergency lighting still on.
Walking along the way, the floor and walls were covered with mixed blood stains, and it was unusually quiet, making people feel very scared.
Everyone on the entire public communication channel remained extremely quiet, but the sound of everyone's breathing could be heard involuntarily getting heavier.
Su Mo slowed down his progress.
At this moment, Su Mo's nerves suddenly twitched, and he controlled the mecha to raise the particle light blade in his hand and smash it towards the top of his head.
At this time, a crawling alien species made a harsh sound and pounced down, only to be chopped in half.
At this time, the mechas behind Su Mo seemed to be stimulated, and they directly raised their guns and shot at the ceiling!
Bang bang!
Su Mo was not frightened by the monster's sneak attack, but was almost frightened by his own people.
Lin Yaotian scolded in the communication channel at this time: "Calm down, everyone, don't attack randomly!"
Soon the attack stopped.
But there was a dull and chaotic sound coming from the end of the passage.
Su Mo narrowed his eyes and said, "Everyone is ready to challenge!"
It was obvious that the sound of the attack just now was too loud, which alerted the monster inside. Lin Yaotian and others all made fighting postures, preparing to meet the monster's impact.
Dongdong~
As the sound got closer, everyone's heart was in their throats.
Not long after, I saw polluting alien species that were up to five meters tall, with conical heads like lizards, mouths full of sharp teeth, sickly white bodies, and long tails on their backs, with a triangular slit at the end.
Bai Ze rushed over.
Everyone was slightly startled, with strange looks on their faces.
"kill!"
Lin Yaotian gave the order in a cold voice.
Qian Chengxue and others controlled the mecha and rushed forward.
Card!
Blood splash~
One by one, Bai Ze was chopped down to the ground.
In less than ten minutes, all those who attacked Bai Ze were beheaded, but it was not surprising. After all, the highest attack was Type III, and not even Type IV was seen.
At this time, Su Mo said to the forger owner, Devourer: "Something's wrong. Why are the monsters entrenched in this base so weak? There aren't many in number, and they're not as good as the monsters wandering outside."
"Don't be careless, there might be powerful monsters hiding in the depths."
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, said in a low voice.
"You are right. Such a weak monster could fall into such a strong Watcher base. There must be stronger monsters."
Su Mo replied in agreement.
Then Su Mo led everyone inside.
The interior space of the entire Watcher base is extremely large, and the passages are crisscrossed, making it impossible to tell where they lead.
"Do any of you have a map of the interior of the Watcher base?"
Su Mo asked with a headache.
"Ahem, how is this possible? The Watcher Base is the top secret of the Federation, and leaking it privately is a capital crime."
