564: Chapter 463: Exploration 564: Chapter 463: Exploration Su Mo had tried several times to inquire the Fake Owner · Swallower, but unfortunately, each inquiry went unanswered.
Although there was a knot in his heart, he ultimately had to give up.
Maybe when the big shot was in a better mood, he would ask some more questions.
As for General Mihan, Su Mo certainly couldn’t just accuse him of having issues based on a single sentence from the Light Computer.
Not to mention he had no evidence, the most important point was that Su Mo himself had no clue what issues General Mihan had.
Being treated as a lunatic would be the least of his problems; it would be much more troublesome if he were accused of framing someone intentionally.
After all, the man’s status was there for all to see.
It was at this moment that Mo Baoke’s voice resounded in Su Mo’s communication channel.
“The first round of operations is over; everyone, return to the Transport Ship immediately for the tally of spoils.
Be quick about it; no dinner for those who are late.”
Responses echoed continuously within the communication channel.
Su Mo was also slightly startled; he had miscalculated. Thɪs chapter is updated by n0velfire.net
The time to return had been moved up, and it seemed like he was out of time to casually scavenge a bit.
Oh well, better head back.
After a while, Su Mo piloted the Black Steel back, his movements proficient as he controlled the Mecha to enter the cargo hold of a medium-sized Transport Ship.
Inside the cargo bay, Zhao Bo and the others had already returned.
Next to each Mecha was a metal net filled with various kinds of spoils of war.
Additionally, Su Mo saw Mo Baoke, clad in Mechanical Armor, furiously scolding the returning crew.
“Have your brains been kicked by a donkey?
I’ve told you guys to pick valuable things.
Look at what you’ve brought back: metal scraps and casings?
Planning to sell scrap metal?
Use your brains, folks.
What’s most valuable are the intact devices and energy modules inside the wrecks, even main gun barrels or missiles would do….”
Su Mo couldn’t help but regard Mo Baoke with newfound respect; this guy might not be great in combat, but he certainly had a knack for looting, hitting the nail on the head with his words.
Just then, Mo Baoke heard the sound of a Mecha approaching and turned his head to see that it was Su Mo returning; his facial expression changed a full one hundred and eighty degrees immediately.
“Ah, Su Mo, you’re back.
I went out for a spin and didn’t find anything.”
Su Mo awkwardly pointed to his empty metal net.
The smile on Mo Baoke’s face became rather stiff, but soon he complimented, “Open your eyes and look, learn from him.
If you can’t match Su Mo in combat skills, you should at least compare with his discernment.
Su Mo knows not to bring trash onto the ship, that’s the right attitude.
Better nothing than something shoddy.”
Su Mo’s face twitched continuously as he privately gave a thumbs-up.
He suddenly felt that Mo Baoke’s rise to this position wasn’t entirely without talent.
The praise left him speechless.
Three days later, in the command room of the Black Brilliance.
Li Ruiqi frowned as he looked at the summary reports fed back from the various work teams.
Putmi asked, “Not looking good?”
“You see for yourself.”
Li Ruiqi passed the summary report to Putmi.
“The overall profit is unsatisfactory, and some of the workers even got injured, which doesn’t seem worth it.”
Putmi read through the summary report, saying with a headache.
“The low profit is normal because all of our operational personnel are exploring the outskirts, which have been scavenged by who knows how many people.”
Give up the established work mission?”
“How can we give up easily?
Looks like we have to plan a deeper exploration.”
Li Ruiqi responded coolly.
Putmi looked at Li Ruiqi with some shock before saying after a long while, “Are we really going deeper?
Isn’t that too dangerous?”
“Fortune favors the bold.
As for the risk, don’t worry too much.
The Black Brilliance won’t come close; if the situation truly becomes uncontrollable, the Black Brilliance will not hesitate to amputate to survive, leaving all operational personnel behind.
Of course, this is in the worst-case scenario.”
Although Li Ruiqi spoke indifferently, his words left Putmi in silence.
“Then let’s proceed with that.”
“Notify the work teams below, volunteering for deep exploration, to sign an electronic risk acknowledgment letter.”
Li Ruiqi calmly issued the order.
“Also, inform Spade to have the GT department organize an elite exploration team to go in.”
Deep within the Chaotic Burial Starfield of Donkye.
A massive Fortress constructed of bizarrely-shaped spaceship wrecks and all manner of discarded junk materialized.
Its uneven exterior was studded with all sorts of giant guns and launch ports.
On the surface, desiccated corpses of Monsters and humans hung as if they were trophies.
At the same time, numerous operational mechanical ships, dragging all kinds of trash and debris, constantly flew towards the Fortress.
The Fortress looked like a demon’s wide-open, bloodthirsty maw, sending shivers down one’s spine.
And this Fortress was the notorious Twilight Fortress nestled within the Chaotic Burial Starfield of Donkye.
Inside the Twilight Fortress, a Mechanical Man constructed entirely of Teluo Secret Silver Metal sat in a command chair, his eyes fixed on a large virtual screen.
The virtual screen displayed different scenes in separate grid boxes.
Some showed surveillance of garbage collection areas, and some displayed images from inside the Fortress’s smelting area.
The centermost image captured the outer boundaries of the Chaotic Burial Starfield, featuring the Black Brilliance among them.
The Mechanical Man in the command chair, his eyes emitting a vibrant red glow, grew increasingly intense.
Meanwhile, inside a shattered spaceship.
