Chapter 1903 - 1498: Cautious (Part 2)
A sudden unpleasant voice rang out.Su Mo turned his head to look, and saw Kendi and Lin Xiaoyu maneuvering their mechas back, he was somewhat surprised and said.
"Huh? Lin Xiaoyu, you also participated in attracting monsters?"
This time, Kendi spoke up: "Lord Su Mo, thanks to Lin Xiaoyu’s timely assistance, not only did she save me, but also helped attract number 3 VI-type Fortress Level · Combined Beast away, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."
"Oh, I see. Lin Xiaoyu, thank you for your hard work. Are you okay?"
Su Mo quickly smiled and greeted her.
"Tch, only now do you think of asking me, too late, there’s no sincerity at all."
Lin Xiaoyu complained irritably.
"Haha, it’s good that everyone is alright."
Su Mo also wore an awkward expression, saying jokingly.
At this moment, Tilo’s weary voice sounded in the communication channel.
"Lord Su Mo, the monsters have been cleaned up."
"Great, how’s the situation?"
"This monster wave impact, although we’ve held up, the situation is very bleak. According to preliminary statistics, we’ve lost 12 ships, and over 5000+ personnel casualties."
"I understand, proceed with rescue immediately."
Su Mo replied with some distress.
"Yes, the rescue is already underway."
Tilo didn’t say much.
"Su Mo, what should we do next?"
Qian Chengxue asked worriedly.
Su Mo showed a troubled expression, thought for a moment, and replied.
"With negative energy surging, nowhere is safe. If we continue towards Star Ring City, we might easily run into dispersed monster tides. Although our general combat strength is still intact, we can’t afford more losses. Every person lost is an immeasurable damage to us."
"This....."
Tilo and others were momentarily at a loss.
"Let’s rest here for now, I’ll think of a solution."
Su Mo gave a simple command.
"Alright."
Qian Chengxue and the others could only answer helplessly.
....
Su Mo cut off communication and began discussing with Creator · Swallower.
"Xiao Shi, do you have any good suggestions?"
"No suggestion will work. During the negative energy tide, only Star Ring City is the safest. The urgent task is to find a way to return to Star Ring City."
"I understand, but how to return safely, which route is best?"
"That depends on you exploring and gathering information."
Creator · Swallower replied deeply.
Su Mo heard this and said helplessly.
"Looks like we’ll have to take it step by step, let’s go scout ahead first."
"Not too foolish, we’re not too far from Revalclus Base, check out the situation there first."
Creator · Swallower replied deeply.
"Mm!"
Su Mo acted quickly, instructing Qian Chengxue via the communication channel.
"Xue’er, take care of things here for now, I’m going ahead to recon and check out Revalclus Base."
"Be careful."
Qian Chengxue warned with some concern.
"No problem."
Su Mo replied swiftly, then maneuvered Mad Eye Rhenhok, activating the color-changing camouflage, making the entire mecha disappear, turning into an invisible stream flying towards the distant starry sky.
...
A day later.
Su Mo piloted Mad Eye Rhenhok ever closer to Revalclus Base.
At this time, he saw a large number of ships and mechanical remains floating in the starry sky, it was clear not just his own fleet were hit by the monster tides.
All regions seem to be hit by indiscriminate monster tides, even Revalclus Base wasn’t spared.
But it appeared things were still under control, as Su Mo saw many rescue ships conducting search and rescue.
Su Mo halted his mecha, began searching for signals.
Soon, a series of prompts popped up before him.
"Signal captured successfully, connection established!"
.....
Su Mo first sent a communication request to the defense center of Revalclus Base.
Soon the communication connected, a sweet voice spoke.
"Hello, this is Revalclus Base Defense Center, I’m Lieutenant Anwen, what can I do for you?"
"Hello, I’m Su Mo."
Su Mo replied deeply and authorized his identity.
Instantly, Lieutenant Anwen was extremely shocked and said on the channel.
"Commander Su Mo, how can I assist you?"
"I’d like to ask about the situation of the routes post negative energy tide, which route is safe for returning to Star Ring City?"
"Respected Commander Su Mo, due to the negative energy tide causing many monster migrations, all return routes to Star Ring City are in emergency status. Also, over a third of the route bases are out of contact, route information on each is unclear. As per our current knowledge, some route bases are still under monster tide attack and sending out distress signals. Thus, it’s not recommended for you to return now, waiting longer will greatly improve safety level."
"I understand, thank you."
"It’s my duty."
"Goodbye."
Su Mo then cut the communication link.
He stroked his chin deep in thought, Lieutenant Anwen’s explanations were clear, the situation didn’t look good.
However, Su Mo did not give up, he raised his electronic bracelet, catching a signal login, and accessed Star Ring Forum.
He wanted to check forum posts, understand the negative energy tide effects, and browse posts for any useful information.
Just upon logging in, Su Mo noticed a swath of striking red pinned posts.
