Chapter 1546 Panic

"that's fine!"

Su Mo nodded and replied, and then controlled the mech to fly towards the administrative council building.

After a while, Su Mo appeared in the corridor of the building, and he walked towards Arles' office.

The building was filled with restless-looking and busy-moving people.

Many people gathered in the corner, whispering, discussing some things in low voices with worried expressions.

Su Mo could clearly feel that the entire federation was in a state of panic and abnormal uneasiness, and it was no longer the feeling of prosperity before.

He felt more and more the seriousness of the situation.

Not long after, Su Mo came to Arles' office, and the door was wide open.

There was no one in the office, so Su Mo walked in immediately, sat on the reception chair, and waited quietly.

Time goes by little by little!

Half an hour passed quickly, and Su Mo still didn't wait for Arles, so he got up and walked to the door.

At this moment, a woman in civilian military uniform hurried past Su Mo.

"Hi, excuse me."

The woman in military uniform in front of her stopped immediately. She turned her head to look at Su Mo and was also stunned. She recognized Su Mo at a glance and said in amazement.

"Su, Master Su Mo."

"Well, can I ask you, where is the chairman of the Arles council? Why didn't I see him?"

Su Mo asked suspiciously.

"President Arles is in the hall of the General Council."

The lady officer in front of her quickly explained.

"Okay, thank you."

Su Mo nodded slightly, then turned and walked towards the parliament hall.

Federal General Assembly Hall.

The huge council hall was brightly lit and packed with people.

There are well-dressed capital tycoons, non-commissioned officers in military uniforms, and wise congressmen.

But today none of them are protagonists.

The real protagonists are the representatives of the people gathered at the front of the council hall, dressed in different plain costumes.

At this time, an old man with white hair and a somewhat stooped body said to the chairman of the Arles council with a sad expression.

"My lord, it's not that we don't believe in the federal government, but that you have also seen the current situation. You really can't delay any longer. When it is broken, it will be broken! We can no longer deceive ourselves like this."

"I understand everyone's uneasiness, but I hope everyone can stabilize and don't get confused. Now things are still unclear."

Arles took a deep breath and tried to comfort him.

"President Arles, listen to me, this time things are different from the past. No matter how difficult it was in the past, we were able to survive. No matter how many people sacrificed, we never complained about a single word. But now things are completely Different, there is no cure for negative energy pollution, and it will be passed on indefinitely, endangering future generations."

"My lord, to speak from the bottom of my heart, we are not afraid of death. If we can protect our descendants, even if we are allowed to die now, we will have no complaints. But the current situation is cutting off our future, Destroy our foundation, civilization cannot be ruined in our hands!"

"President Arles, that woman Ikaloya is untrustworthy! You can't trust her completely! Yes, she gave us a lot of resources, but life and future are gone. What do we need those things for?" ?”

"What we have to do now is to quickly leave the city of Star Rings and find a way out of the negative universe. First leave this gas chamber to prevent the pollution from deepening, and then find a way to solve the negative energy pollution by ourselves and save ourselves!"

"My lord, think twice!"

Many representatives of the people present, each with a very sad persuasion.

The military officers and congressmen standing behind were all silent.

Councilor Arles looked at the restless and haggard faces. He also felt physically and mentally exhausted. He pulled himself together and raised his hands to signal that everything was quiet.

Soon everyone calmed down.

"Everyone listen to me, I understand your uneasiness, and I am very aware of the seriousness of the matter. But the situation is unclear now, and the Lord Ikaloya has not given a formal reply, we can't mess around. Therefore, I I implore everyone to be patient for a while longer, and wait until the matter is clear before making a decision. We have worked so hard to get to where we are today, and we cannot just give up. Of course, you can rest assured that you can always rely on the federal government. We are one, the federal government The government will not abandon any of the people. The federal government will always focus on the people, and now I just hope that everyone can trust the federal government, do your best to appease the people below, and give the federal government a little more time."

Arles took a deep breath and said solemnly to everyone.

Many representatives present looked at each other and finally spoke.

"Since the head of the Arles Council has spoken to this extent, we have nothing to say, so let's bear with it a little longer, and believe that the federal government will not let us down."

"Well, I am here to thank you on behalf of the federal government."

Arles saluted everyone.

The representatives of the people present sighed slightly and dispersed one after another.

Only councilors, non-commissioned officers, and representatives of major chaebols were left at the scene, and they all looked at Arles.

Arles sat down slowly at this time, he squeezed his forehead with his hands, exhausted physically and mentally, and said to the rest of the people very tiredly.

"I won't discuss things anymore. I'm going to go down and do what I should do. Let me be alone for a while and don't bother me."

"Yes, Lord Councilor."

All the people present responded one after another.

So everyone withdrew from the council hall, and the huge council hall suddenly became empty.

Arles crossed his hands and propped his chin, silently lost in thought.

At this moment, the closed door of the meeting room was pushed open, and a sound of footsteps came from far to near, interrupting Arles' thoughts.

He frowned slightly, but didn't raise his head to speak.

"Didn't I say, don't let people disturb you, I won't see anyone."

"Why, even I'm missing?"

Su Mo said with a smile.

Arles raised his head in surprise when he heard Su Mo's voice, and when he saw Su Mo coming, he replied with a wry smile.

"Sorry, I was so busy that I forgot about you."

"fine."

Su Mo went straight to sit in front of Arles.

Arles squeezed out a weary smile, and said to Su Mo: "Why did you come here suddenly? Is it for the progress of the prison heart project? You can rest assured that I will definitely do my best to protect it."

"I didn't come here for that."

Su Mo waved his hand to interrupt Arles.

"That is?"

Arles was also a little surprised.

"I'm here to ask about the situation of the Federation and the current situation."

Su Mo briefly explained the purpose of his visit.

Arles smiled wryly, and said to Su Mo: "It's very bad. There are many rebellions within the federation, and some of them have lost control. There are even problems within their own troops, which has caused distrust. Barely holding on."

"What about other countries?"

Su Mo then asked.

"It's even worse. Some of them are about to lose control. At least the Federation doesn't take care of the bottom. It still has some cohesion."

Arles said with some emotion.

"That is not bad."

Su Mo nodded slightly.

"Actually, it's not much better. Many people in the Federation have formed their own fleets and left. Now many people in various countries have lost confidence in the city of Star Ring, and they have sailed away by themselves, looking for opportunities to survive. Now in all ships, The price of a mothership with a life cycle system has skyrocketed."

Arles told Su Mo the general situation.

Su Mo frowned upon hearing this.

"Then what is the federation going to do next?"

Arles pondered for a while and said, "I'll tell you the truth, I'm also in a dilemma now. I've never encountered such a difficult thing. It's not unreasonable for the people below to be uneasy and worried, because I know things better than anyone else. Seriousness. Although we have made a lot of money under the leadership of the Star Ring City, if there is no future, what do we want to do? In fact, when I first came to the negative universe, I felt very dissatisfied with negative energy pollution. Wonderful, but it was not confirmed that there was no cure at the time, after all, there are two different things between hope and no hope at all.”

After Su Mo listened, he pondered and said.

"You are right, have you tried to find Ikaloya?"

"Why not, I must try to find Lord Icaroya. But now Lord Icaroya is behaving very strangely. She doesn't see anyone now, and she doesn't come out to clarify. The only order she gave is to ask us to be desperate. Speed ​​up the production of star drills, completely ignoring the turmoil in the current situation. As long as she stands up and takes care of it, the matter will not escalate to this point. Now I have no idea what the city lord Ikaloya is thinking."

"Um."

Su Mo also felt more and more difficult.

Arles sighed, and then said to Su Mo.

"In fact, we have discussed with Yanas and other allied countries. If the situation is really out of control, we should leave together together! Leave the negative universe first, and then find a way to solve the pollution problem. After all, there is nothing better than civilization and harmony. The continuation of life is more important. If there is no future, what is the point of us wanting the present."

"Why."

Su Mo couldn't help but sighed.

"To be honest, if possible, I really don't want to go to that point, because if you flee, you have to abandon the foundation you have saved so hard, and you have to abandon your home planet to find a new suitable star. The future is also full of confusion and uncertainty. , the worst thing is that the negative energy pollution on us may not be able to be resolved, and if we leave, we will still commit suicide slowly.”

Arles continued helplessly, in fact, the city with the most hopeful solution to the negative energy pollution is the City of Star Rings. It stands to reason that the city lord Ikaloya should also be infected with negativity, so she has no reason to think of a way to solve this matter. This is also the main reason why Arles has been suppressing the restlessness within the Federation and has not left the City of Star Rings for a long time.

Now he is like standing at the crossroads of history, if he makes a mistake, he will lead the federation into the abyss.

His pressure is unimaginable to ordinary people.

Su Mo was silent for a few seconds, and then said to Arles: "Steady first, and see what happens next, maybe there will be a turning point!"

"That's the only way to go. By the way, Su Mo, I want to ask your opinion."

Arles raised his head solemnly and looked at Su Mo.

"Actually, it's hard for me to say anything now, but Arles, don't worry. If things really turn to the point of no return, I will definitely stand on the side of the Federation. After all, this is my root."

Su Mo solemnly promised Arles.

"Okay, your words are enough. Next, I plan to make two preparations. On the one hand, I will wait for the city lord Icaroya to come out to preside over the overall situation, and on the other hand, I will start hoarding supplies and ships to prepare for the great escape."

Arles was also very moved when he heard Su Mo say that.

Su Mo pondered for a while, and said to Arles: "Well, let's speed up the repair work of the prison heart. If you want to escape in the end, you can also take the prison heart, at least it is safer."

"It's feasible, I'll tell the people below, so that they won't have resistance, and they will be more cooperative in repairing the Heart of Prison."

Arles said in agreement.

"Okay, then I'll go first."

"I'll send you off!"

"No, you're probably tired enough during this time, so you don't have to see me off, just take a rest."

"Okay, then I won't be polite."

Arles nodded.

.

...

A moment later, Su Mo jumped up from the administration building in his Mad-Eyes Rainhawk mech.

In the cab, Su Mo's expression was tense, and his eyes were constantly changing. After a long time, he spoke to the Creator Devourer.

"Xiao Che, I want to ask you something."

"explain!"

The Creator Devourer replied in a low voice.

"Does Ikaloya know the inside story of the destruction of the negative universe and the Protoss troops?"

Su Mo asked solemnly.

"I know for sure, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

The Creator Devourer asked a little puzzled.

"nothing."

Su Mo replied with a more solemn expression.

"What are you going to do next?"

The Creator Devourer asked at this time.

"Go back to the Immortal Blade, check the repair progress of the Heart of Prison, and hand over the obtained resources to Lin Zinuo and the others."

Su Mo gave a short answer.

"No, your top priority now, shouldn't you take the slate to find the old man first?"

The tone of the Creator Devourer was full of surprise, after all, this matter was the most urgent.

Su Mo didn't immediately answer Xiao Che's doubts, but was caught in a tangle, and he spoke slowly after a long time.

"Take things easy on the slate."

"Why? You don't want to give the slate to the old man?"

The Creator Devourer was also stunned, a little unbelievable.

"It's not that I don't give it to the old man, but that if this slate is given to the old man now, it will definitely fall into Ikaloya's hands. What do you think will happen if Ikaloya gets this slate?"

Su Mo felt that it was very difficult to reply. The reason why he wanted to ask Xiao Che whether Ikaloya knew the inside story was to confirm whether Ikaloya knew.

In fact, Ikaloya knew everything, and in this case, her behavior was so extreme and crazy.

If she is allowed to get this slate about the negative universe, she might really become even crazier and desperate.

Thinking of this, Su Mo shuddered a little, so he was a little afraid to hand over the slate now, in case things got worse, it would be troublesome.

And if Ikaloya can't get the slate and things can't be done, maybe he will gradually calm down and return to normal.

"What will happen to her after she gets it is none of our business, the point is that we just get what we want."

The Creator Devourer retorted without hesitation.

"Let me think again."

Su Mo's heart was also a little messy. It is right to not know what to do for a while.

"If you have something to think about, hurry up and hand over the slate to the old man, that's the business."

Xiao Che kept urging Su Mo.

It's a pity that Su Mo still didn't listen to Xiao Che's suggestion in the end.

"talk later!"

Seeing that Su Mo's attitude is so tough, Xiao Che couldn't continue persuading him.

Then Su Mo controlled Crazy-Eyed Ryan Hawk to turn into a stream of light and accelerate away.

Ring City

Administrative Council Building · 3rd floor.

Many non-commissioned officers and generals wandered there anxiously, their hearts were a little chilled after waiting.

But they have nothing to do but continue to wait!

Not long ago, Commander Kailas personally came to ask for an interview, but in the end he was rejected.

However, at this moment, there was a sound of crisp footsteps, followed by an exclamation of excitement from the waiting crowd.

"Master Golly!"

"Master Geli, you are here!"

In an instant, all the non-commissioned officers in the waiting area were boiling, and everyone looked extremely excited.

As if seeing a glimmer of dawn in the dark, they all gathered towards Goli.

"Master Geli, is it true that negative energy pollution can't be solved?"

"Master Geli, is the video on the forum real or fake?"

Everyone asked impatiently.

Geli raised her hand to signal for everyone to be quiet, and she said to everyone: "Everyone calm down first, I know you are desperate for an answer now. But I can't give you an accurate answer right now, let me see my sister first, I'll talk to him."

"good!"

Everyone responded one after another, and at the same time stepped aside.

Ge Li then walked straight towards Ikaloya's office, in charge of the security guards and heralds, and it was not easy to stop her when she saw this, so she could only get out of the way.

When many non-commissioned officers and generals saw Golly go in, their expressions became more and more excited, just like a drowning man seeing hope.

In the office.

Ikaloya is sitting behind the desk, calculating the production progress of the star drill.

At this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and Golly walked in.

"elder sister!"

Golly called softly.

"Well, why are you back?"

Ikaloya put down the document in his hand, raised his head and asked faintly.

"It's not about the turmoil, sister, I don't quite understand, so I want to ask you."

Golly asked softly.

"I don't understand anything."

Ikaloya's face was still so indifferent, without any emotional fluctuations.

"Sister, the outside world is already in a state of turmoil. People are panicking. The entire market is on the verge of falling apart. Why don't you come forward and clarify yourself? I remember that before we came to the negative universe, you once said that we came to For the sake of resources and becoming a god, as long as you win the Cup of Heaven, you can win the inheritance of the negative god, and finally step into the high dimension, and you can hope to solve the negative energy pollution."

Golly said to Ikaloya.

"Why should I clarify? What is there to clarify? They are not at the same level. They can understand it? And in the video, every word I said is the truth, and they can think whatever they want."

Ikaloya replied indifferently.

"Sister, but"

Ge Li was also stunned, and then said anxiously.

"Enough, don't say any more."

Ikaloya interrupted Goli forcefully.

Geli bit her lips lightly. She knew Ikaloya's character and temperament better than anyone else. It was obvious that Ikaloya was determined to go all the way to the dark.

However, Ge Li was still not reconciled, and persuaded her bravely.

"Sister, even if you really don't intend to clarify to everyone, you should appease the waiting non-commissioned officers and generals. They are also very disturbed and panicked at this time."

"I've said it before, they can think whatever they want, stay if they can figure it out, and leave if they can't figure it out, I won't keep them here either!"

Ikaloya's attitude is still very tough, and there is no room for relaxation.

"elder sister."

Geli didn't know what to say anymore, she couldn't understand why her sister let the matter ferment.

——

among the stars.

Su Mo drove Crazy Eyes Rainhawk towards the Heart of Prison at high speed.

Although it has not arrived yet, but looking at it from a distance, you can see the huge heart of the prison. At this time, although the heart of the prison has not been repaired, the exterior has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The dirty exterior of the entire exterior has been treated to give it a new look, the structural mesh has been repaired in a large area in the damaged area, and a thick metal layer has been poured in more than one third of the area.

The appearance of the entire prison heart fortress has been doubled at least several times, and the grade has also improved a lot.

Su Mo glanced at it, and was quite shocked in his heart. The progress of this repair is not ordinary.

"The repair is very good."

The Creator Devourer also rarely praised.

"Keep working harder, maybe it can really be repaired. When it is completely repaired, this fortress will be our lair."

Su Mo said in a rather excited mood.

"Well, that's right."

The Creator Devourer agreed.

Su Mo then made some manipulations and sent a communication request to Tilo.

The communication was connected soon.

"Su Mo, you are back."

"Well, get ready, unload the solar furnace, and transport it to the heart of the prison."

Su Mo confessed.

"No problem, I'm ready."

Tilo replied calmly.

.

...

Inside the Prison Heart.

Lin Zinuo accompanied Abike to inspect the internal construction.

I saw countless workers laying various optical cables and lines on the walls and ground without interruption.

The complicated line laying is meticulous and neat.

Even people with obsessive-compulsive disorder will find it very pleasing to the eye.

Lin Zinuo said to Abike: "The progress of the laying of the information transmission line is very good. After a while, this area can be laid and poured!"

"Hmph, what's the use of repairing it? If the fortress is so big that it cannot be moved, it is just a piece of scrap iron."

Abik said proudly, his tone was as sarcastic as ever.

But Lin Zinuo has long been used to it, and after getting along with her for this period of time, she understands Abike's temperament very well.

Although the old man's words were ugly, he was a very nice person, and his talent was beyond words.

So Lin Zinuo asked with a headache.

"Then what to do?"

"What else can we do? Let Su Mo go to our lord to ask for an Ark Heart, which can be used as a power device. Although the power provided by the Ark Heart cannot fully supply such a large fortress, at least it can be activated first. stand up."

Abick said helplessly.

"this"

Lin Zinuo suddenly felt a little embarrassed and inappropriate.

ps: I'm sorry, I have to pack presents for book friends tonight, send them out, and add more tomorrow (*＾-＾*).
