Chapter 816 Black Thorn Base

After Su Mo listened to the analysis of the counterfeit owner and devourer, his eyes burst into a fiery light, as if he saw countless wealth beckoning to him.

"So, as long as I'm lucky enough, I can have more wealth than other civilizations?"

"In theory, there is such a glimmer of hope. Of course, the premise is that your luck is good enough. For things like rough stones, luck is a big factor. Another point, I remember that you are not very righteous and rule-abiding. The things in this base are not Should they all belong to the Allied Powers and the Federation, why do you want to take them all?"

The counterfeit owner and devourer teased Su Mo in turn.

Su Mo was embarrassed immediately, and replied with a smile on his face: "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 spoils will naturally belong to me. Besides, this rough stone must have been dug by the alien itself.”

"Does anyone believe what you say? How is it different from taking off your pants and farting?"

The counterfeit owner, the Devourer, responded with a look of contempt.

"You believe it, I believe it, the rest is not important, haha!"

Su Mo smiled happily.

"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, after I go out, I will let that boy Sun Duoxiang remove the stone."

Su Mo replied happily that Sun Duoxiang was very reliable in doing this. It seems that this trip to Ceres is not in vain, it is really possible to get rich.

"It's up to you, just don't mess things up."

The Forged Owner Devourer fell silent again after speaking.

"No problem, I'll see how to move out, whether it can only be done from above."

Su Mo looked left and right, and suddenly found that there was still a passage exit, and his eyes narrowed involuntarily.

After a while, Su Mo flew up in the night guard mech.

When the people waiting outside saw Su Mo approaching, they gathered around one after another and asked anxiously, "How are you doing?"

"Don't worry, there are no monsters inside."

Su Mo said to the crowd.

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great, it scared us to death."

"Of course, don't be too happy. Although there are no monsters below. But it is a pool of blood, full of all kinds of negative energy pollution and viruses, don't go down."

Su Mo gave everyone a vaccination.

"Fuck, then seal the hole quickly."

Sun Duoxiang said quickly, afraid that something might happen.

"I think so too, so I leave this matter to you."

Su Mo turned to Sun Duoxiang and said.

"It's just to seal the entrance, it's a trivial matter, every minute."

Sun Duoxiang replied confidently.

"You are thinking too simply. There is still a passage below. You have to go down and seal that passage together. And it is not ruled out that there are other passage exits. When you seal it, check carefully."

Su Mo's words directly made Sun Duoxiang's face collapse.

"Ah? Boss, I have a lot of work to do, and I have to coordinate a lot of things. Why don't I leave this work to others."

With a bitter face, Sun Duoxiang said in a dazed manner, this job is obviously thankless.

"Why so much nonsense, you will be responsible for the handling and aftermath of this warehouse, and other people can go to other warehouses to help."

Su Mo made simple arrangements.

"good!"

Everyone at the scene wished to stay away from here, and hurriedly left.

Then Su Mo opened the Yewei cockpit and jumped down. He walked up to Sun Duoxiang with a bitter face and said, "Come with me, and I will explain some details to you."

"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 is no danger down here, so don't make a bitter face."

"Boss, what about you?"

Sun Duoxiang was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and raised his head to look at Su Mo in disbelief.

"Help me with something. There is a large black stone of hundreds of tons in the center of the blood pool below. You find a way to transport it to the Shadow, so that no one can see it. That's what I want."

Su Mo instructed simply.

"I see. Boss, don't worry, I will definitely make it look good for you."

Sun Duoxiang's eyes lit up immediately and replied,

"That's fine. After this matter is finished, I have one more thing for you to do."

Su Mo still had great trust in Sun Duoxiang's ability to handle affairs.

"whats the matter?"

Sun Duoxiang asked with glowing eyes.

"That matter is relatively simple, you should finish the matter here first."

"okay."

——

Ceres Blackthorn Base, a huge black building that covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of square kilometers and is a combination of pine cones and sea urchins.

At this time, there are dense beams of light. Shoot out from the building and hit the berserk monsters.

The monsters fell to the ground one by one.

However, there are still a large number of monsters that slipped through the net, breaking through the area covered by firepower.

At this time, black steel mechas rushed out one after another. They waved their alloy blades, rushed towards the monsters without fear, and collided with each other, continuing to fight fiercely.

"hold onto."

The regional commander shouted hoarsely in the communication channel.

Inside the base, in the dark corridors, there were wounded soldiers lying everywhere.

Some had their arms and legs amputated, and some suffered severe burns all over their bodies.

Others' bodies were highly polluted and corroded, covered with pus bubbles all over their bodies, and they kept moaning in pain.

"Doctor!"

Physicians were running all around.

In the rest area, a number of soldiers were lying weak, their lips were chapped and bleeding, their faces were withered and yellow, and their eyes were lax.

"How long do we have to rotate? To guard the perimeter and clear the harassing monsters."

"There are still two days."

"I feel like I can't take it anymore."

"Don't talk nonsense, we can get a little food and water if we last until the perimeter of the guards."

In the corner, Lin Ming leaned against the dirty metal wall.

At this time, several subordinates came over, they took out a nutrition bar, handed it to Lin Ming and said, "Master Lin Ming, please eat something, you haven't eaten for nearly a month."

"It's okay. After all, the genetic medicine I used is relatively advanced, and it can still hold up. Let's give the food to the brothers below."

Lin Ming waved his hand and replied.

"Master Lin Ming, you can eat it, the brothers below have eaten it."

"That's right, Lord Lin Ming, please just eat a little bit. It will take several days until the quota is distributed again."

The subordinates present begged one after another.

"Then give it to the injured brother. I can hold on for the time being. And the situation in the base is pretty stable now. There are no powerful monsters attacking for the time being, so there is no need to fight."

Lin Ming shook his head and said wearily.

"Lord Lin Ming, can we still hold on?"

The soldier in front of him couldn't bear it any longer, and asked choked up.

"Don't be discouraged, the federal government will definitely not abandon us, and the supplies will definitely arrive. As long as you persevere, there will be hope."

Lin Ming's eyes never wavered.

In the corridor, Lan Xi was wearing a protective suit and was examining an unconscious wounded person. She turned her head and shouted anxiously.

"Xinie, go get a burst of VC-93 antiseptic."

"Doctor Lan Xi, the medicine has long been empty."

"Then change to CQS-02 antibiotics."

Lan Xi shouted anxiously.

It's a pity that the assistant Xini standing behind her didn't move.

"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."

Xini lowered her head and replied.

"What other medicines are there in the medicine store?"

Lan Xi asked in a daze.

"Now the public drug store is empty, and only the high-level drug store has a little bit. But those drugs are reserved for core combatants, and they cannot be moved at all."

Xini held back her tears, bit her lip, and said in distress.

Lan Xi felt her head in a daze, as if she was about to faint. Although her physical fatigue was serious, she was still able to grit her teeth and persevere, but her heart was tired, how could she bear it?

At this time, a piercing alarm sounded from her wristband.

Lan Xi glanced at it, and suddenly thought it was bad, she said to Xini.

"You go to the supplies department to get some water and give this wounded man a drink. No matter what, at least it can make him feel better."

After speaking, Lan Xi quickly ran 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 had his left eyeball removed, his right arm and both legs were amputated, his body was highly alienated, his skin had raised red blisters, and his whole body was covered with various tubes.

At this time, the man was holding a nutritional catheter in his only remaining left hand.

The whole instrument keeps alarming!

The adjutant standing next to him kept persuading him: "General, don't do this."

"General Figel, what are you doing?"

Lan Xi stepped forward in a panic, and reconnected the catheter that had been pulled out.

The man lying on the hospital bed was none other than General Figel, who was in charge of the assessment 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, me. Also, I don't want to become a monster. I would rather die decently than alienate."

General Figel said while suppressing the pain.

"General Figel, what are you talking about, you will be fine, can you trust me? I will definitely cure you."

Lan Xi's eyes were red, and she tried to comfort her while suppressing the pain.

"Yeah?"

Figel squeezed out a smile.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

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 painkiller injection for me?"

"Okay, I'll go now."

Lan Xi hurried out.

However, after Lan Xi left, Figel spoke with difficulty 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 save it, and I will definitely turn into a monster in the end. As a soldier of the Federation, how can I become a monster? I don't want to become a monster. I beg you, just promise me and give me a face."

Figer raised his hand vigorously and grabbed Tang Lei's hand, and said with all his strength to suppress the pain.

"General, you are holding on."

Tang Lei gritted his teeth and begged.

"Tang Lei, you have been with me for so long, please."

Figel almost begged in a begging tone instead of an order, and this was the first time in his life that he begged for help.

"General."

Tang Lei showed an extremely painful expression. He pulled out a small P23 piercing pistol from his waist and left it on the hospital bed, then turned around and walked out of the ward.

Boom~

Accompanied by a gunshot.

The alarm in the ward sounded again.

Tang Lei didn't go in when he heard the gunshots. Instead, he covered his face with his hands and knelt down, crying bitterly.

At this time, the soldiers on guard all around rushed over one after another, and they rushed straight into the ward.

I saw that the monitoring pattern on the monitor of the life support instrument had become a straight line.

Blood stained the entire head of the bed.

Figel's palm spread out, and the pistol fell to the ground.

At this time, 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 material emergency notice from the logistics department, and the latest casualty statistics report, and his hair was almost graying.

In front of him were eight heads of various departments.

All of them 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, so please give us some supplies."

"Our side can't hold it anymore, I have taken out my own quota and divided it up."

Listening to everyone's demands, Spald was unable to respond for a long time.

It's not that he doesn't want to approve it, but that there really isn't one. They don't know how long they will last alone, and every penny of the remaining materials is very precious.

At this moment, the door of the office was pushed open.

"Master Spade, something happened. General Figel committed suicide."

A herald reported in a panic.

"what happened?"

Spade stood up abruptly when he heard this.

"I don't know either. People from black and white agencies are investigating."

"Walk."

Spade's face was extremely ugly. Figel 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 rushed to the ward.

At this time, a large number of non-commissioned officers gathered outside the ward, and they were all brought out by Figel.

Spade walked into the ward.

I saw Tang Leizheng confessing to the officials of the black and white agency in pain.

"I left the gun on purpose. I am willing to take full responsibility for the suicide of General Figel."

If it was normal, the officials of the black and white agency would have taken Tang Lei away long ago. But they, who have always been indifferent, don't know what to do.

Looking at Figel's body, Spade took a deep breath and said hoarsely.

"The investigation is adjourned. Go get a federal flag."

After hearing this, the black and white agency officials who were present quickly responded.

"yes."

Not long after, a soldier brought a banner.

Spade took over the flag of the Federation, walked up it very deeply, covered it for Figer, 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 Figel's body to be cremated, 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 mentality, turned and left.

He also wanted to stay 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 couldn't fall down.

Just as Spade walked out of the ward.

Lan Xi, who was standing beside her, slowly raised her head, her eyes were full of anger.

She couldn't bear it any longer, and rushed in front of Spade desperately, blocking his way.

"Master Spade, I am Lan Xi, a senior physician in the medical department."

Spade stopped and said in a deep voice.

"whats the matter?"

"I just want to ask you, what about the medicine and supplies you promised to give us before? Why didn't you give us them? Do you know how many soldiers were obviously saved, but they were forced to die? The soldiers don’t even have a single painkiller, are they dying of pain? If General Figol could get effective treatment at the beginning, he wouldn’t be so desperate to commit suicide. What about the supplies you promised!!! We waited for a month , another month, another year, another year, they don't deserve to die, their loved ones are waiting for them to go back"

At the end of Lan Xi's speech, she broke down emotionally and yelled at Spade.

Spade stood where he was, quietly listening to Lan Xi's collapsed roar, without making a sound for a long time.

At this time, other doctors and sisters hurried forward to hold Lan Xi, apologizing in panic while persuading her.

"Lan Xi, don't do this."

"I'm sorry, Master Spade, Lan Xi didn't do it on purpose."

Spade's expression changed, and he bowed to Lan Xi.

Immediately everyone present was stunned.

Spade walked straight past Lan Xi, he couldn't answer Lan Xi's words.

There is no way to make any promises, because he doesn't know when the materials will be available, and maybe there will never be any.

And this real situation, he can't say it yet.

——

At the watchman's base, a large amount of ore was packaged and transported to the Blue Whale.

Everyone had bright smiles on their faces and was in a very good mood.

Su Mo watched all this quietly with complicated expressions on his face.

At this moment, Sun Duoxiang ran over in a hurry. He looked around slyly, 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, and it will be gone after loading. Are we going 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. He did his best.

"Cough, boss, didn't you say that after finishing that matter, there is one more thing for me to do. This is going to go, what is it?"

Sun Duoxiang looked at Su Mo with great anticipation. He thought to himself that it was hard to finish the work, and the next work must be fat.

Su Mo raised his hand and patted Sun Duoxiang on the shoulder, and handed him a note.

"Dig according to this coordinate, and bring the dug back to the Shadow, so that no one can see it."

"no problem."

Sun Duoxiang said ecstatically, he guessed right, the fat messenger is here.

The boss must have kept a lot of good things in his possession, and when he digs them out to have a look, maybe he can ask the boss for some.

At the Blackthorn base, Spade is communicating with the deputy director of logistics, Forlane.

Flair was crying: "Master Spade, I really can't hold it anymore. The head of the logistics department went to Fort Liberty a long time ago in order to wait for the supplies. The logistics of the entire base threw me in the face. As a result, there was nothing for half a day. When the supplies came, they all wanted to skin me, and I wanted to be generous, and I didn’t want to embarrass them! But I have no choice, or you arrest me, I can’t do this job.”

Spade looked up at him, and then said in a deep voice, "Hold me, if you quit, it won't be a mess."

"Master Spade, then you can tell me when the supplies will be available."

"There is no supplies. We have lost contact with the Liberty Fortress controlled by Li Ruiqi. We haven't been able to reconnect until now. In all likelihood, something happened to them as well."

Spade replied in a deep voice.

"It's over."

Frank was suddenly paralyzed on the ground.

"This matter is not allowed to be spoken out."

Spade warned.

"How about Master Spade, can you borrow some from other allied countries?"

Fleur asked expectantly.

"Do you think that we are all so uncomfortable, and their situation is better than ours? Let me tell you the truth, they are still asking us to borrow supplies."

Spade's words extinguished Flaner's last hope.

At this moment, the entire Blackthorn base pulled the siren.

Spade frowned, raised his hand to summon a virtual image interface, and connected to Karinsa who was in charge of external security.

Soon Karinsa's image emerged.

"Lord Spade."

"What happened?"

"There is a large wave of alien monsters hitting the Black Thorn base."

"How big is it?"

"The evaluation scale is B+, and the most threatening monster is a common V-shaped polluting black thorntail worm king. Wang Hai and Thurius have already entered the battle state, and will soon drive the pseudo-V generation Mecha extermination. 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 wave of monsters."

Karinza answered very succinctly.

"I see."

Spade's expression became more and more ugly, not to mention whether there will be a follow-up wave of monsters, as long as this wave is over, it will definitely cause a large number of casualties.

At that time, the logistics will be even tighter.

Thinking of this, Spade's head hurts more and more.

At this time, another communication connection request popped up.

Spade glanced at it, then accepted the communication request.

Nadine's virtual image popped up, and she saluted Spade respectfully.

"Master Spade, the expeditionary commander of the Aramak Free Country, Romon, has initiated a supreme meeting, and invites you and the other three-nation expeditionary commanders to participate."

"I see."

Spade replied in a deep voice.

He didn't need to ask Nadine what the meeting was about, he knew what meeting was going to be held. Certainly not because of the shock just received, it was obviously for supplies.

No matter how strong the incoming monsters are, they can think of ways to repel them, but it is really a flaw if they don't have supplies.

Outside the black thorn base, hordes of monsters rushed up like a tide.

The weapons temporarily erected on the base defense wall were bombarded with artillery fire.

The scale of this Black Thorn base is also super large, not inferior to the Watcher base, and even its defense is even higher than the Watcher base.

However, it is obvious that this base is temporarily occupied.

Without complete repairs, there are naturally no complete fortifications.

A large number of defensive metal walls are damaged and need to be defended by manpower.
