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 counterfeit owner, 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 layer doesn’t count, yes, it doesn’t count. And this is the monster’s lair. I killed the monster, so the loot will naturally belong to me. Besides, this rough stone must have been dug by the alien himself.”
"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.
"As long as you believe it, I believe it, 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 guy Sun Duoxiang is very reliable in doing this. It seems that this trip to Ceres is not in vain, he 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 it out. Can it only be done from above?"
Su Mo looked around and suddenly found that there was another passage exit, and his eyes couldn't help but 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 immediately."
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's only a matter of minutes."
Sun Duoxiang replied confidently.
"You are thinking too simply. There is another passage down there. You have to go down and seal that passage together. And it is not ruled 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 a confused look on his face, "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.
"good!"
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."
"good."
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, no need to look sad."
"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's 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 is done, I have one more thing for you to do."
Su Mo still has great trust in Sun Duoxiang's ability to do things.
"whats the matter?"
Sun Duoxiang asked with shining eyes.
"That matter is relatively simple. You finish the matter here first."
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, dense beams of light 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, waving their alloy blades, and they rushed towards the monsters without fear and collided with each other, continuing to fight fiercely.
"hold onto."
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 doctors and staff 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 much longer 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 potion I took is relatively advanced, and 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. All the brothers below have eaten it."
"Yes, Lord 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 go out to fight."
Lin Ming shook his head and said tiredly.
"Master Lin Ming, can we still hold on?"
The soldier in front of him couldn't bear it any longer 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.
"Sydney, go get some 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 too."
Sydney lowered her head and replied.
"What other medicines are there in the medicine store?"
Lan Xi froze on the spot and asked.
"The public medicine warehouse is now empty. Only the high-end medicine warehouse still has a little bit. But those medicines 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's head felt a little blurry, as if she was about to faint. Although her body was very tired, she could still grit her teeth and persevere, but how could she endure it when she was mentally tired?
At this time, a piercing alarm sounded on her bracelet.
Lan Xi took one look at it and immediately thought to herself that something was wrong, 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 is a life support machine in the ward, and a man is 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 was once in charge of Su Mo's entrance examination in 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 Feigel suppressed his pain and said.
"General Feigel, what are you talking about? You will definitely 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.
"Yeah?"
Feige 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 terrible pain. Can you apply for a painkiller 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've been highly polluted. There's no way I can be saved. 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, please hold on."
Tang Lei gritted his teeth and begged.
"Tang Lei, you have been following me for so long, please."
Figel almost begged in a pleading tone instead of using orders. This was also the first time in his life that he 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.
Peng~
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 monitor pattern of the life support equipment had turned into a straight line.
Blood stained the entire bedside red.
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 anymore and started to cry 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.
Waiting in front of him were eight heads of various departments.
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 quota to share with others."
...
Spud 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'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 violently.
"Lord Spade, something happened, General Feigel committed suicide."
A herald reported in a panic.
"what happened?"
Spade suddenly stood up when he heard this.
"I don't know either. People from the black and white agencies are currently investigating."
"Walk."
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 Fegel.
Spade walked into the ward.
I saw Tang Lei confessing to the officials of the Black and White Organization in pain.
"I left the gun intentionally. I am willing to take full responsibility for General Feigel's suicide."
If it were normal, the officials of the Black and White Agency would have taken Tang Lei away long ago. But they, who have 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 brought a flag.
Spord 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 in a more 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 when 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.
"whats the matter?"
"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 yet? Do you know how many soldiers were obviously saved, but ended up being dragged to death? How many do you know?
The soldier doesn't even have an analgesic. Is he dying of pain? If General Figol could get effective treatment from the beginning, he wouldn't be so desperate that he committed suicide. Where are the supplies you promised!
! We have been waiting for a month, another month, a year, and another year. They don’t deserve to die. 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, trying to persuade her while apologizing in panic.
"Lan Xi, don't be like this."
"I'm sorry, Master Spade, Lan Xi didn't mean it."
...
Spode's face suddenly changed, and he bowed to Lan Xi.
Suddenly 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.
But 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 has a bright smile on their face and is in a very good mood.
Su Mo watched all this quietly, with a complicated expression on his face.
At this time, Sun Duoxiang ran over in a hurry. He looked around with a sly look and reported to Su Mo in a low voice.
"Boss, everything is done."
"Um."
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?"
"Walk!"
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 you want me to do. I have to leave now. What is that matter?"
Sun Duoxiang looked at Su Mo with great 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.
"Go 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 the deputy director of logistics, Flair.
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 completely thrown in my face. As a result, there was nothing for a long time.
When the supplies came, they all wanted to take my skin off. I also wanted to be generous and I didn’t want to embarrass them! But I couldn’t help it. Why don’t you arrest me? I can’t do this job.”
Spud raised his head and glanced at him, then said in a deep voice: "Just hold on, if you give up and quit, then 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. 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 Franr'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 has attacked the Black Thorn base."
"How big is it?"
"The assessment scale level is b. The most threatening monster currently found is an ordinary V-type pollution-type black spiny tail worm king. Wang Hai and Thulis have entered a state of readiness for battle and will soon drive the pseudo-V generation.
The mechas destroyed it. But in order to prevent sudden changes, the alarm was raised. After all, the impact has been getting stronger and stronger recently. We suspect that this is the prelude to the impact of a large monster wave."
Karinsha answered very ably.
"I see."
Spade's expression became increasingly ugly. Not to mention whether there would be a subsequent wave of monsters, the impact of this wave would definitely cause a large number of casualties.
By then the logistics will be even tighter.
Thinking of this, Spade's head hurt more and more.
At this time, another communication connection request pops 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, initiated a supreme meeting and invited you and the other commanders of the expeditionary forces of the three countries to participate."
"I see."
Spade responded in a deep voice.
He didn't even need to ask Nadine what the meeting was about, he already knew what kind of meeting was going to be held. It was definitely not because of the shock he had just received, it was obviously because of the supplies.
No matter how strong the attacking monster is, they can find a way 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 was temporarily occupied.
Without complete repairs, there will naturally be no intact fortifications.
A large number of defensive metal walls are damaged and require manpower to defend them.
