Finally, Sperd said, "I don't think we should hesitate. Is any amount of profit more important than our lives?"
"You don't need to tell me that, of course I know life is more important than profit. But the problem is that profit can cloud people's minds, so much that they don't even care about their lives!"
Auglas roared, somewhat losing his composure. Of course, he wasn't targeting Su Mo; he was just extremely angry.
This situation was like finally digging up a gold mine after a lot of hard work, only to have someone tell you to stop digging because the mountain was about to collapse!
You have to know that the Black Obsidian's tax revenue alone was already an astronomical figure every day.
For a moment, everyone in the command room was stunned. They had never seen Auglas lose his composure like this, and no one dared to say a word.
Su Mo also fell silent when he saw this.
Finally, Sperd said, "Why don't we put the dispute aside for now and send someone to verify it? If the evidence is conclusive and we really find a white hole, then there's nothing to say. We'll have to cut our losses."
Li Ruiqi said in a deep voice, "What if it erupts during the investigation, or if it's too late?"
"What if all of this is a mistake?"
Auglas made his last effort to struggle and retort.
At this time, Anfres quickly explained, "Lord Li Ruiqi, even if there really is a white hole, according to the information in the logs and what Su Mo saw, this white hole is likely still forming. The formation of a white hole doesn't happen in a day or two, we still have enough time to escape."
Li Ruiqi turned to look at Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei sighed and nodded.
Li Ruiqi finally chose to give in. He said, "Let Wen Luosi pilot the Shadow of Light and lead a team to Su Mo's area immediately to investigate!"
"Okay!"
Sperd responded.
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief. The situation hadn't developed in a worse direction after all.
Sperd turned and left the command room, heading to the GT department to personally arrange the matter.
Then, Li Ruiqi turned to Su Mo and said, "Su Mo, wait where you are. Wen Luosi and the others will meet up with you soon."
"Okay."
Su Mo didn't say much. He really couldn't produce any decisive evidence. Li Ruiqi and the others were already respecting his opinion greatly. If it were a more incompetent decision-making body, they probably would have treated his words as false military intelligence.
Everyone has their own position, and no one can truly empathize with the other's difficulties.
......
Soon after, an exit on the Black Obsidian opened, and a dozen beams of light rushed out of the ship at high speed. Leading the way was the IV-generation pure mechanical mech, Shadow of Light.
They immediately rushed towards Su Mo.
The reason why the Shadow of Light was dispatched this time was because most of the other IV-generation biological mechs were damaged. Furthermore, the scanning device system equipped on the Shadow of Light was the most advanced.
Wen Luosi was also under great pressure at this time. Before departing, Sperd had specifically explained the seriousness of the matter to her.
On the other side, Su Mo, after ending the communication link, was repeatedly questioning the Pseudo-Creator Devourer.
"What exactly did you sense? What's the specific situation?"
"Hey, speak up. Just say whatever you have to say."
"I won't blame you."
.....
However, the Pseudo-Creator Devourer remained silent throughout.
Su Mo felt more and more that something was wrong. Under normal circumstances, the Pseudo-Creator Devourer wouldn't be so hesitant when confirming something.
"Are you really not sure?"
Su Mo took a long breath and asked.
"Not sure."
The Pseudo-Creator Devourer finally said a word after a long time.
After hearing this, Su Mo stopped asking. Asking was the same as not asking. He might as well wait for Wen Luosi to arrive and explore together.
Time passed little by little.
After a long time, mechs approached Su Mo from a distance.
At the same time, an elegant voice sounded in Su Mo's communication channel.
"Hello, Major Su Mo. I am General Wen Luosi. We are rapidly approaching you. Please take us to the unusual starry sky area as quickly as possible."
"Yes, sir."
Su Mo replied with some surprise. He didn't expect Wen Luosi's rank to be so high.
However, after thinking carefully, Su Mo suddenly remembered something. Wen Luosi's rank seemed to be very high during the mass awarding ceremony. She seemed to have come from the commander system.
So Su Mo started the Black Steel mech and, after meeting up with Wen Luosi and the others, flew towards the distant starry sky.
"Officer Su Mo, is the white hole you mentioned real?"
In the communication channel, a participating team member asked curiously.
"Uh..."
Su Mo was a little embarrassed for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
"Songdao Chuan, why are you asking that? If it was fake, would we be out here searching?"
"That's right, Officer Su Mo is so strong, he definitely wouldn't make a mistake."
"Everyone, buck up."
.....
Wen Luosi was also a little surprised. The accompanying team members seemed to have a high level of trust in Su Mo. However, after thinking about it, she understood.
Su Mo's existence was like a dazzling, burning new star for the entire GT department.
Everyone had witnessed Su Mo's abilities and strength. If nothing unexpected happened, he would soon become their most reliable partner.
Therefore, trusting him wasn't a strange thing.
However, Wen Luosi felt unparalleled pressure. It seemed that she needed to constantly train and improve herself in the future.
But this time, being able to go on a mission with Su Mo was a rare opportunity, and Wen Luosi was full of expectations.
It was also a good opportunity for her to observe Su Mo's strength up close.
At this time, Su Mo also felt immense pressure from everyone's trust. He said softly to the Pseudo-Creator Devourer.
"I will try my best to pilot the mech deeper, beyond the unusual area you sensed before. If there is any discovery, tell me immediately."
The Pseudo-Creator Devourer didn't respond, but it was considered an agreement.
In the starry sky, many mechs flew quickly deeper into the starry sky, and there was more and more garbage debris around.
As they went deeper, they were somewhat leaving the area covered by the planetary disintegration debris.
Wen Luosi was also a little surprised. She didn't expect Su Mo to have run so deep before. Normal people wouldn't run so far.
She saw Su Mo piloting the mech and continuing to move forward, so she didn't say anything and continued to lead the team to follow.
Su Mo's heart was getting tighter and tighter. He had already entered the area where the Devourer had previously discovered abnormalities, but the Devourer still had no reaction.
He took a deep breath and continued forward.
Soon, Su Mo and the others flew past that abnormal starry sky area and flew a long distance inward, but the Pseudo-Creator Devourer still didn't react.
"Hey, give me some reaction, did you even sense anything unusual?"
Su Mo couldn't help but start to slow down and kept asking in a low voice.
