Su Mo directly stuffed the nutrition bar into their hands, since he wouldn’t die from half a year of starvation anyway.
At most, it would be uncomfortable; nothing serious.
Then Su Mo stood up, just as he was about to head to his resting spot.
He heard some hoarse voices of the NCOs talking.
“It seems that Commander Lin Ming hasn’t returned yet; they couldn’t have run into trouble, could they?”
“That’s unlikely; Commander Lin Ming is so strong.”
“But the road to the ground is full of monsters.”
“Enough, don’t talk nonsense.
Commander Lin Ming and his team must be fine; the only question is whether they’ve been able to contact Black Brilliance.”
“Ah, let’s not think about this.
We’ve been stranded in this hellish place for so long.
We haven’t seen any rescue personnel from Black Brilliance; could it be that Black Brilliance has already given up on us and left?”
At this point, the people having the conversation all fell silent.
Their eyes revealed a numbness.
Actually, it wasn’t their fault; people tend to be more pessimistic when in despair.
Just then, suddenly, the personnel guarding the warehouse door excitedly shouted.
“Commander Lin Ming has returned.”
The previously demoralized people upon hearing this, quickly stood up.
Su Mo and the others hurriedly went outside.
Soon, they saw Lin Ming returning at the entrance.
“How did it go, did you contact Black Brilliance?”
Karina immediately asked.
“No, we ventured into an escort ship, dismantled the communication equipment inside, and activated the equipment using a backup power source.
We ended up completely unable to contact Black Brilliance, and instead drew the attention of the security guards.”
Lin Ming shook his head.
Victor and the others let out a heavy sigh.
“But everyone needn’t lose heart; although we didn’t contact Black Brilliance, we did bring back a lot of nutrition bars.”
Lin Ming said, in a comforting tone.
His subordinates behind him placed boxes and boxes of nutrition bars in front of everyone.
“That’s great; now we can hold on.”
The crowd excitedly said.
“Damn, that works; I searched for a long time and couldn’t find a road that could go up,”
Victor said, slapping his thigh, a bit annoyed.
“Not finding one isn’t necessarily bad news; we also wandered for a long while before finding a path upwards.
Moreover, the conditions on the ground are very dire, incredibly dangerous.
We took huge risks to get these supplies.
For this, we even lost two brothers.
This can’t be a long-term solution; we need to think of other methods.”
Lin Ming shook his head as he replied.
“Let’s not talk about that now, everyone come over to get the supplies.”
Karina hurriedly changed the topic to avoid affecting the morale that had just begun to rise.
Just then, at the end of the tunnel in the distant warehouse, the head of a security guard peeked out.
At that moment, the deep voice of the Fake Creator · Devourer echoed in Su Mo’s mind.
“You’ve been spotted.”
Su Mo swiftly turned his head and saw the security guard at once.
He immediately rushed over while drawing his beam gun and firing!
However, the next second, the security guard retracted his head.
Su Mo’s fired beam went straight into empty space!
Su Mo burst into full speed and chased after.
Lin Ming and the others looked alarmed and immediately reacted, quickly following in pursuit.
At that time, the voice of the Fake Creator · Devourer sounded in Su Mo’s mind again: “No need to chase, it has already run far.
And catching up and killing it has no meaning; the scouting information has already been transmitted.”
Su Mo halted his steps in frustration.
Soon, Lin Ming, Qian Chengxue, and others quickly caught up.
“Su Mo, what’s the situation?”
Just now, a Security Guard spotted us, and now we’re exposed.”
“Sorry, it was our oversight.
I didn’t expect us to be followed by a Security Guard.”
Lin Ming’s face wore an extremely displeased expression, as he hadn’t anticipated making such a fatal mistake.
“Now isn’t the time to discuss this.
Besides, it’s not your fault.
We need to leave this place before the enemy gathers.”
“But, where can we escape to?”
Karina raised her head and looked towards Su Mo.
Hearing Karina’s words, everyone’s gaze converged on Su Mo, all somewhat expectant for him to provide some guidance.
Su Mo didn’t evade the question and directly said, “That’s none of your concern for now, just gather everyone together first.”
This time no one objected or questioned further.
In just a few minutes, everyone had grabbed all the weapons they could carry and assembled, fully armed.
Su Mo addressed everyone, “Don’t be stingy with food; each person eats two Nutrition Bars.
We’re going to run with all our might soon, and it will consume a lot of energy.”
The group took out their assigned two Nutrition Bars, bit them open, and then drank them down completely.
Once everyone had finished eating, Su Mo immediately led everyone in escaping.
As most people had donned Second Generation Mechanical Armor made of white titanium alloy, their escape speed was still quite considerable with the equipment’s support.
It wasn’t long after Su Mo and his group had left.
Swarms of Security Guards surged in, their red electronic eyes scanning everything, but unfortunately, they found nothing.
Their heads continuously rotated, and soon they dispersed, searching for the fleeing intruders.
Those being hunted weren’t only Su Mo.
In a massive underground tunnel area, the silver Mechanical Man, Canon, led two Fourth Generation Mechas, Mechanical Executioners, as they barely made it out alive from the Security Guards.
The two Mechanical Executioners were also covered in scars.
At this moment, the Mechanical Man, Canon, was both fearful and angry, mumbling to itself.
“Damn it, pushed back to this godforsaken place again.
No, I must leave here immediately.” Follow current novᴇls on N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
Canon was well aware of what this godforsaken place was, it seemed like no matter how many enemies came, he could kill as many as he faced.
But these were all illusions.
Not to mention that he would eventually be worn out, if he continued to be chased, the enemies that arrived would only get stronger and stronger.
Of course, thanks to him drawing away a large number of Security Guards, Su Mo’s group could escape so easily.
Deep in the tunnel, Su Mo hurriedly led his group, occasionally looking back and urging everyone on.
“Pick up the pace, squeak if you can’t keep up, and someone with more energy carry them, but don’t stop.”
It wasn’t that Su Mo was being harsh, but rather that the Holographic three-dimensional map formed in his mind by the Fake Owner’s Devourer showed clearly that there were red dots all around them.
Victor and others shouted loudly.
They now trusted Su Mo’s words immensely.
At this moment, Lin Ming, Qian Chengxue, Karina, Victor, and others all voluntarily slowed their pace and moved to the back to ensure no one was left behind.
