He adjusted his mentality slightly and responded helplessly: "It's not too bad, I feel okay."
"Compared to the masters I know, it's far behind!"
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, replied with a very firm tone.
Su Mo was even more speechless, and he asked a little unwillingly: "Okay, then let me ask you, if you switch to what you call a master, driving a black steel mecha, how long will it take to defeat this Type III monster?
.”
"one second."
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, responded profoundly.
After listening to the words of the forger owner, Devourer, Su Mo was too lazy to argue with him. How could he solve it in one second? That would be like squeezing an ant to death. This guy was either deceiving himself or the data was messed up.
Forget it, no matter what the issue is, there is no need to argue with it.
At this time, Su Mo suddenly remembered something. He opened his mouth and said to Guang Nao: "Aren't you able to devour monsters? There are many corpses of Type I and Type II Dokar bugs here and outside. These eggs should be
It’s okay, don’t waste it.”
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, was silent for a while, then said, "Are you asking me to eat shit?"
After Su Mo heard this, he was stunned and his expression was extremely exciting. Then he coughed and replied, "I just made a suggestion."
Although Su Mo said this, he couldn't help but curse in his heart, this guy is really picky about food.
"I'm going to sleep. Don't call me if you have nothing to do."
"Wait a minute, you've eaten so much and still want to sleep? You're not going to tell me that you haven't recharged it yet, okay?"
"The charging progress is one percent."
The owner of the forgery, the Devourer, answered casually, and then fell into silence.
Su Mo was speechless after hearing this. How much can this guy eat? After eating so much, he can charge 1%.
"Hey~~"
........
Soon after, Su Mo drove the black steel mecha back to the transport ship again.
As soon as he entered the cargo hold, he saw Mo Baoke again in the distance, scolding his returning companions.
"Are you idiots? I told you to look for something valuable. Look at the other teams. Which one is not full of gains?"
Su Mo jumped down from the cockpit of the mecha, walked over calmly, walked to the back of the assembled team, and stood with Zhao Bo. He asked in a low voice with some guilt.
"Why is Mo Baoke so angry, and our profits are not ideal?"
It's no wonder that Su Mo felt guilty. He didn't bring back any profit at all these days, which was indeed a hindrance.
"What, our team's income is good, especially Captain Kolev found a lot of supplies. This guy Mo Baoke is complaining, we did not tell him the income in private..."
Zhao Bo complained with contempt.
After Su Mo heard this, he felt a little embarrassed.
At this time, Mo Baoke's anger was almost gone, so he issued an order.
"The ship is returning to rest for the next wave of searches. If you continue to fail to meet my mission targets, please wait and write a review!"
Then Mo Baoke turned around and left.
At this time, Kolev stood up and said something to everyone: "Everyone has worked hard during this period. I know that you have tried your best. Just have a clear conscience and don't have too much psychological baggage. Our transport ship will be on the way soon."
Let’s go back to the Black Glory. Let’s take a good rest after we go back. Maybe there will be some big action later.”
"Understood sir!"
Everyone responded one after another.
.........
In the evening, Su Mo followed the transport ship and temporarily returned to the Black Yao.
The temporarily parked L2 hangar is also extremely lively. There are workers unloading and transferring goods everywhere, and everyone has a smile on their face.
As the in-depth ban was lifted, more and more exploration teams poured in, and the benefits became higher and higher. Although there were some casualties, they were nothing compared to the benefits.
Su Mo picked up the phone and tried to call Sun Duoxiang to see if he could get through.
Of course, Su Mo didn't hold out much hope either.
Maybe that guy is still working outside.
Dudu~
"Boss, why did you suddenly remember to call me?"
At this time, the call was connected, and Sun Duoxiang's tired voice sounded on the phone.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Su Mo felt that Sun Duoxiang's condition was a little bad.
"Don't mention it. It's as bad as it is unlucky. We went on an exploratory mission not long ago, but the information was wrong and we were ambushed by a monster. We managed to escape with great difficulty, but we also lost several brothers."
Sun Duoxiang was also extremely depressed. He himself had been on the verge of death. The key point was that he could not blame Lu Qi for the inaccurate information.
If there had been no accident, Lu Qi would have probably died.
"I'm in the L2 cargo bay hangar now. Come and find me as soon as possible."
After Su Mo listened, he simply said to Sun Duoxiang.
Sun Duoxiang was slightly startled, and subconsciously responded hurriedly: "Okay!"
...
Su Mo stood in the hangar and waited quietly for more than two hours. Only then did he see Sun Duoxiang running out of breath from a distance.
After a while, he ran up to Su Mo out of breath and said.
"Boss, boss, I'm here."
Su Mo looked around to make sure no one was staring at him, and then whispered to Sun Duoxiang.
"There's something I need you to do."
"Boss, tell me."
Sun Duoxiang answered directly without asking.
"Hold out your hand."
Su Mo said in a low voice.
Although Sun Duoxiang was a little surprised, he still followed the instructions and stretched out his left hand.
Su Mo took out a pen from his pocket, and then wrote a series of numerical coordinates on Sun Duoxiang's left palm.
"This is?"
Sun Duoxiang asked in shock.
"This is the area I explored. I found a batch of genetic biological liquid here. There are a total of 100 boxes of Type I and ten boxes of Type II. I hid them in the wreckage nearby. You can find a way to get them back for me."
Su Mo explained the matter simply and neatly.
After hearing this, Sun Duoxiang's eyes were full of admiration for Su Mo.
"Boss, you are so awesome that you can find such a good thing."
"Okay, stop flattering and get things done."
Su Mo replied calmly.
However, Sun Duoxiang suddenly thought of something and said to Su Mo seriously: "Boss, it's no problem for me to get this batch of goods back for you, but there is something I need to make clear to you."
"whats the matter?"
Su Mo was also a little curious. It was rare to see Sun Duoxiang so serious.
"Boss, I will help you get this batch of goods, but I can't deliver them all to you."
"Why?"
"The Black Yao has rules. Any private exploration and mining revenue must be paid 50% of the tax, which means half of it must be handed over to the federation."
"so much?"
Su Mo is also a little different.
"Yes, the tax on plunder is as high as 50%. Otherwise, how could the federation turn a blind eye to private plunder like ours."
Sun Duoxiang replied with great certainty.
Su Mo thought about it and suddenly realized something. He had never quite understood why the federation would allow capital and oligarchs to follow the exploration, and it would charge high taxes! This would not only mobilize the enthusiasm of all personnel for exploration, but also increase the federation's income.
.And if the federation absorbs so much tax revenue, it will theoretically be stronger than those capitals and oligarchs.
This is indeed a very good rule.
"Fifty percent is fifty percent."
"Well, that's not all. In addition, I also need to pay taxes to the Lin family. After all, if I want to bring the goods in legally, I must use the Lin family's channels. Although I have a very good relationship with Lin Ming, these are unavoidable.
. I made some estimates and found that I almost got it, only about 30% is left. But believe me, boss, I am definitely not corrupt at all."
Sun Duoxiang explained awkwardly.
Su Mo stretched out his hand and patted Sun Duoxiang on the shoulder and said, "You don't need to say anything, I naturally believe you. In addition, it would be good to get 30%. If this batch of materials is handed over through my channel,
If so, it is probably just a record, some verbal commendations and the accumulation of points. It would be nothing if it were normal, and I wouldn't care, but now I am really short of valuable materials, so let's just deal with it like this."
"Okay, I understand. I will take someone to get it right away. I will ensure that I help you, boss, handle this matter beautifully."
In the command room of the Black Yao, Putmi looked at the feedback report and said to Li Ruiqi with a smile on his face.
"It's been a great harvest."
"not bad."
Li Ruiqi did not refute. As the exploration deepened, the income increased exponentially.
Putmi coughed and then said: "There is also good news. Two elite exploration teams sent by the GT department found the remains of a giant transport ship and the remains of a high-level warship deep in the ruins of the starry sky.
Wrecks, as well as several other high-value profit areas. Therefore, the GT department applied to mobilize large forces to carry out unified-scale operations. In addition, other exploration teams also searched many high-value areas and also applied for personnel to lift the ban."
Li Ruiqi naturally heard the implication of Putemi's words. He wanted to dispatch a large number of troops to carry out large-scale operations, maximize the collection of resources, and maximize profits.
In fact, there is nothing wrong with his proposal at all.
But this involves a problem, and that is the planning criteria that Li Ruiqi set before. The reason why Li Ruiqi was so conservative with the scavenger plan was so that he could survive with a broken arm in the event of an accident.
If so many are sent out at once, this rule will be broken.
"let me consider it."
Li Ruiqi pondered for a while and replied.
Just when Putemi was about to start persuading, Augustus walked in and said in a deep voice: "I don't think you need to worry so much. Putemi's suggestion is quite good."
"Since the Vice-President of Augustus said so, then let's do it."
Li Ruiqi did not insist anymore. He had concerns, but now it is obvious. Due to the benefits, I am afraid everyone will agree with Putmi's suggestion. In this case, there is no need to conflict.
"Well, fine, let's give the order."
Augustus responded with great satisfaction.
In the L2 hangar, Su Mo was lying in the mecha cab, closing his eyes and resting.
At this moment, an emergency notification sounded on the communication channel.
"Urgent notice, all reserve teams of the GT department participating in the operation, please assemble immediately after taking a break. The GT department will conduct a designated area cleaning combat mission."
...
Su Mo subconsciously opened his eyes and sat up. He didn't expect that there would be a collective combat mission so soon.
At this moment, Mo Baoke's urging voice sounded in the communication channel.
"Gather! Gather immediately!"
.....
Su Mo was helpless for a while, so he quickly drove the mecha to gather.
Soon after, the Black Yao's exits opened one by one, and densely packed mechas and ships were seen leaving like a swarm of bees.
They all flew towards the ruins in the distance.
On the fourth floor of the Dunkeye mass burial area, Tous was patrolling the surroundings in a third-generation mecha, the Fierce Tiger.
A subordinate flew over in a second-generation mecha Black Steel and reported to Tuowushui: "The large army has entered the ruined starry sky and is expected to arrive soon."
"Ah, very good."
Tous nodded and responded.
At this moment, a type II alien floating beast with black wings, a whole body covered with fur, a flat head, and very sharp limbs and claws suddenly turned red in the distance. Only their heads were seen.
It was just a mechanical flying insect, with its body split open at the bottom, revealing sharp needles piercing its head.
The next second, these floating beasts attacked in groups towards Tous and the others.
"Another enemy attack!"
The subordinates around Tous immediately became alert.
"A bunch of trash fish! Destroy them!"
Tous was extremely annoyed, and of course he couldn't be blamed for this. Ever since they entered the depths, they had been inexplicably attacked and harassed by monsters.
Moreover, these monsters that attack them usually flee after fighting for a while, making them exhausted.
Otherwise Tuows wouldn't have requested a cleanup from the headquarters.
Of course, being attacked by monsters is not entirely a bad thing. No, while exterminating the monsters, they unknowingly went deep inside and accidentally found the wreckage of a giant abandoned transport ship.
"yes!"
The subordinates responded one after another.
On the other side, Su Mo followed Kolev in a black steel.
I have to say that there are advantages to having more people. Not to mention the power of more people, at least the momentum is very good. The journey along the way went very smoothly, and we did not encounter many monsters at all.
Occasionally, a few unknown monsters appeared, but they were shot to pieces by Su Mo and the others.
At this moment, a prompt popped up on the Sumo operator platform.
"Mission log update: Latest combat target, clear all lurking monsters in the coordinates 2319, 813, and 134 areas!"
At this time, Kolev said in a deep voice: "Everyone, follow me!"
"clear!"
Everyone responded one after another.
This combat operation was still led by Kolev, while Mo Baoke stayed behind on the transport ship. According to him, as the commander, he needs to sit in the rear to provide sufficient confidence and support to Su Mo and the others.
Su Mo and the others were speechless after saying this!
Soon, Su Mo piloted the mecha and followed Kolev to change direction and fly towards the designated area.
...
In the Dusk Fortress, the silver robot looked at the surveillance images fed back from each area.
Its red electronic eyes are constantly flashing, and it makes a mechanical self-talking sound.
"The prey took the bait."
However, the robot in front of it did not take action immediately. Instead, it fell into deep thought. The situation was somewhat beyond its expectation.
It was originally worried that the prey it explored in the ruins was not heavy enough and that the Black Glory would escape at the critical moment.
Therefore, mechanical puppet monsters were sent to lure the exploration team deep into the area and help them explore things of sufficient value to attract more people.
I have to say that its purpose was not only achieved, but the effect exceeded its expectations.
The number of prey that came in was very large, more than it expected.
Thinking of this, the eyes of the robot in front of me kept flashing.
He suddenly realized a problem. Since the other party released so many combat troops, when the incoming troops were damaged, the mothership would also follow up and fight.
Then I won't be able to deal with them calmly.
Instead of doing this, it's better to change the way.
Since the opponent's mothership has released so many troops, the interior of the mothership is destined to be very empty.
Then simply attack the mothership directly and strike first.
So it stared at the Black Glory.
At this time, lines of commands are automatically generated on the holographic image operation screen.
"The Dusk Fortress propulsion system is activated!"
"Start! Bring back the combat troops."
"The latent mechanical bug executes the rampage plan and promotes a wave of monsters to attack and enter the prey."
"The main goal of the operation: to raid the periphery and invade the mothership."
"Simulated combat evaluation in progress!"
"data analysis....."
"Probability of winning 99.99999%"
"Simulation plan approved!"
"implement!"
.......
In the starry sky among the ruins, the motionless Dusk Fortress began to sink, slowly began to move, and flew toward the periphery in a roundabout way.
Deep in the starry sky of the ruins, countless mechanical flying insects flew out from inside the floating wreckage.
These mechanical flying insects all spread out and locked onto each type I and type II monster.
Like a parasite, it lives on its head.
Kai said to control the gathering of wandering monsters.
...
In the distance, Su Mo was driving a black steel, carefully searching for wreckage in the starry sky and clearing out any enemies that might be hiding in the operating area.
In fact, although this job is a bit tedious, it is relatively easy. You just need to finish your own area.
"Hey, I'm really speechless. Why can other teams allocate resource points discovered through exploration and earn merits? But we can only carry out cleanup tasks. This Mo Baoke is really incompetent."
Zhao Bo kept complaining in the communication channel.
"That's right, it's not fair at all."
"Okay, don't complain. Don't you really believe in Captain Mo Baoke? That guy can only brag and reprimand us, and can't do anything else. If you count on him, you might as well count on Su Mo. Wait until Su Mo
Mo Huitou was appointed as a substitute player, and we started to flourish accordingly."
"It makes sense!"
"Okay, stop complaining and do your job well."
Kolev said in a deep voice.
"It's captain."
Everyone suddenly became quiet.
Su Mo coughed and said: "Everyone has adjusted their mentality. In fact, it is good to carry out the clearing mission. Although it is a bit boring, it is relatively safe to explore resource points."
"What Su Mo said makes sense."
Everyone responded one after another.
At this moment, a dull voice sounded in Su Mo's mind.
"Get out of here, you are being targeted, and the tide of monsters is gathering."
Su Mo's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help but be stunned. Wasn't this a slap in the face? He had just said it was safe here a second ago.
"Retreat to where?"
"rear."
But now is not the time to worry about these things, Su Mo's eyes kept changing.
Then he used a separate communication channel to say to Kolev: "Captain Kolev, I feel something is wrong. It is not safe here."
Kolev was also stunned when he heard Su Mo's words.
He said in a deep voice, "Are you sure?"
"Definitely, but I don't have any substantial evidence. It's more about a sense of danger."
Su Mo insisted on talking nonsense. His headquarters could be said to be an early warning from the optical brain.
"What should we do?"
"We should retreat immediately and notify everyone to gather together to form a strong line of defense to deal with the coming danger."
Kolev's expression changed for a while, and then he replied: "Okay! But are you sure they will listen to you? After all, you are not the commander, and they might still blame you."
"As long as you have a clear conscience."
Su Mo replied in a deep voice.
"If you say so, then count me in!"
Seeing what Su Mo said, Kolev said without hesitation.
...........
Below the edge of the Dunkye mass burial area, countless FX-4 small defense aircraft swarmed out, quickly forming a barrier with camouflage and interference effects, and then the bloated Dusk Fortress slowly moved out.
Its scanning system silently locked onto the Black Yao.
In the command room of Dusk Fortress, the silver robot raised its four robot arms, and countless codes were automatically generated and entered into the operating system.
"Automatic analysis of ship structure is in progress!"
"Determine the key weakness and power output area!"
"The main gun of Dusk Fortress, the heavy ion beam cannon, begins to covertly charge!"
"Charging progress is fifty percent!"
"Fifty-five percent!"
...
In the command room of the Black Yao, Li Ruiqi tapped the armrest with his fingers and was watching the operation.
Due to the large number of people entering the operation this time, many relay signal devices were scattered along the way, and a large number of ships acted as signal relays.
So here you can get real-time intelligence feedback.
At this moment, an operator reported: "Report, Chief Li Ruiqi."
"whats the matter."
"The 86th Formation of the GT Department Reserve Force left the operating area without authorization and issued an early warning, saying that the troops were about to be attacked by monsters."
"Who specifically issued the warning, and is there any substantial evidence?"
Li Ruiqi frowned.
"Isn't it normal for monsters to attack? What's the fuss? When did the people in the GT department become so cowardly?"
Putmi replied with some dissatisfaction.
After finally convincing Li Ruiqi, manpower was sent out. We were only halfway through the work. Is it possible for everyone to stop working just because of this trivial matter?
When the operator saw Li Ruiqi and Master Putmi, they seemed unhappy, swallowed hard and said.
"It's Captain Kolev, the deputy captain of the 86th Reserve Force, and Lieutenant Sumo. In addition, they didn't explain the reason, they just said they were being targeted and were in danger!"
Li Ruiqi was also stunned by Su Mo's early warning.
"Aramu!"
Putmi said angrily.
At this time, a very bad premonition suddenly lingered in Li Ruiqi's head. He subconsciously asked: "Did the radar scan detect any abnormalities?"
"everything is normal."
The operator subconsciously replied.
"Turn on the scanning device at full strength and monitor it carefully."
Li Ruiqi suddenly remembered that when the Black Yao docked for the first time, it was also attacked by monsters, and the radar scanning device also failed to detect it.
The scanning device of this ship is not as advanced as imagined.
"yes."
The operator was stunned for a moment and started to operate subconsciously.
As a result, as soon as I entered the command, a black warning box popped up on the entire scanning screen.
"Warning, high energy reaction detected!"
"Warning, the Black Yao is locked!"
.....
Li Ruiqi's heart suddenly shrank, and he shouted sternly: "Open the energy shield, the ship will evade immediately! No matter which direction"
"yes!"
...
The next second, the Dusk Fortress extended its main gun, emitting a bright light. A terrifying red beam shot out instantly, melting all the debris in the way, and struck at the power area of the Black Glory mothership like a broken bamboo.
At this time, the Black Yao's energy shield was forming rapidly, but it was too late.
In an instant, the heavy ion beam cannon passed through the unformed energy shield and bombarded the Black Glory ship.
