False Court
Chapter 534 Ambush
Wen Los and the others saw Su Mo slowing down and followed suit. She asked, "Major Su Mo, is it around here?"
"Uh, I'm not too sure, maybe we need to go deeper."
"Everyone, continue to go deeper. We may be stepping into completely unfamiliar starry skies. It will definitely be dangerous then, so please pay attention to safety and try not to stray too far from me."
Wen Los gave clear instructions.
"Yes, Ma'am."
Everyone responded.
Soon, everyone continued to fly forward, but nothing abnormal was discovered. The surrounding garbage and debris became increasingly dense, making it feel extremely oppressive.
Another hour or so passed.
While Su Mo went deeper, he waited for the Artificial Ghost-Devourer to speak. However, before the Devourer could open its mouth, Wen Los spoke first.
"Careful!"
Wen Los controlled Light of Calamity, moving at extreme speed to Su Mo's side, swinging the beam short blade to sweep across.
Clang!
A huge steel plate was cut in half, and at the same time, a Type II Heterogeneous-Floating Insect, which was very well hidden, was split in two, splattering viscous blood.
"Thank you."
Su Mo thanked her.
"You're welcome, but Major Su Mo, are you sure we haven't reached the area where you sensed something was wrong?"
Wen Los felt something was off; they had gone quite deep already.
"We're here, but I haven't sensed anything unusual yet."
Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Su Mo replied helplessly. This Wen Los was smarter than he had imagined.
"Then what do we do now?"
Everyone asked.
"The white hole matter is no small thing, and we can't be careless. Even if we don't find anything unusual here, we can't just turn back like this. Everyone, spread out a certain distance and continue searching."
Wen Los said in a deep voice. In fact, after learning about the white hole warning, she was inclined to side with Su Mo.
Su Mo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Wen Los' words.
"Understood!"
Everyone responded.
So everyone scattered, piloting their mechas and flying towards the depths.
The next day, Su Mo and the others piloted their mechas, shuttling back and forth. They stopped from time to time to check if there was anything unusual in the surrounding starry sky.
Su Mo didn't know what to say anymore. They had now completely penetrated this starry sky. The debris floating around was no longer remnants of the Zhi Gu planetary fortress decomposition.
Moreover, this debris gathering area was like a breeding ground for monsters, with one or two monsters popping up from time to time, making it increasingly dangerous.
But until now, they hadn't seen any abnormalities. Even the Artificial Ghost-Devourer had remained silent the entire time, as if nothing was happening.
Fortunately, Wen Los and the others trusted Su Mo quite a bit, and they didn't question him even after searching for so long.
Otherwise, Su Mo wouldn't know what to say, but it wasn't a solution to keep going like this.
Before long, Songdao Chuan and the others piloted their Black Steel mechas back and reunited with Wen Los and Su Mo.
They reported one after another.
"Reconnaissance shows nothing abnormal."
"Same here."
.....
"I'm sorry, everyone."
Su Mo felt a little guilty. A group of people had been wandering around with him for so long.
"Major Su Mo, you don't need to feel apologetic. It's all for the Federation. But there's one question I'd like to ask you. Are you really sure we're heading in the right direction? Of course, I don't mean to question you, but just to be on the safe side."
Wen Los' words were very pleasant to hear, without causing too much resistance.
"The direction is definitely correct, it's just..."
Su Mo was very certain of this.
"Since the direction is correct, there's nothing else to say. If we can't find anything, we'll just continue to search deeper."
Wen Los replied calmly.
"That's right!"
Everyone echoed.
Su Mo was also a little touched. Being trusted by others in this day and age was a kind of luck.
At this moment, behind a decaying warship in the distance, a pair of pale eyes suddenly opened.
Artificial Intelligence-Devourer suddenly issued a warning, "There's a monster!"
"Careful!"
Su Mo issued a warning to Wen Los and the others at the first moment. At the same time, he subconsciously pulled the control stick, and the Black Steel mecha immediately retreated.
"Hmm?"
Wen Los was also slightly taken aback.
Just then, a pale light arrived in an instant, so fast that Wen Los couldn't capture its movements at all.
The next second!
Clang!
A Black Steel mecha was directly torn in half, blood splattering everywhere, followed by a huge explosion.
However, the white light that attacked the Black Steel mecha instantly disappeared.
"Sun Wang!!"
Songdao Chuan and the others shouted in grief.
"Everyone, be on guard!"
Wen Los shouted as if facing a formidable enemy. She activated the energy barrier at the first moment, and at the same time raised two 200mm beam double blades.
At this moment, the white light struck again!
It pierced through two Black Steel mechas at a terrifying speed, like skewering kebabs.
Rumble~
A series of explosions spread out.
"What kind of monster is this?"
Songdao Chuan and the others felt a trace of fear for a moment. They weren't afraid of death, but being killed inexplicably like this, without even having time to react, would make anyone shudder.
Seeing that three of her subordinates had fallen in just a few seconds, Wen Los was furious. She controlled Light of Calamity to rush to the most conspicuous position in front, and at the same time issued an order.
"Everyone, retreat! I'll hold it back!"
"No, Commander Wen Los, how can we let you face the enemy alone?"
None of Songdao Chuan and the others were willing to retreat.
At this moment, a white light rushed towards Light of Calamity at an extremely fast speed. Wen Los wanted to react, but it was too late; it was too fast.
Bang~
The entire energy barrier vibrated violently.
A prompt popped up in front of Wen Los.
"Warning! Energy barrier charge decreased by thirty percent!"
"Damn it!"
She stabilized the mecha and was about to counterattack, but found that the white figure that attacked her had disappeared without a trace.
Wen Los's nerves twitched, generating a series of commands.
Light of Calamity's built-in high-speed optical capture device began to replay.
It presented the moment when it was attacked. It was a monster twelve meters tall, covered in white crystal spikes, with a pale body, front claws emitting a white metallic luster, four snow-white crystal wings on its back, and a white prismatic crystal tail more than ten meters long.
"Data matching in progress!"
"Matching successful."
"Target: Type IV Lord-level Heterogeneous-White Abyss Beast."
Seeing the matched data, Wen Los issued a warning to Su Mo at the first moment.
"It's a Type IV monster! Su Mo, you guys escape immediately! As far as you can!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a pale figure rushed towards Su Mo like lightning.
Wen Los' heart trembled. "Damn it!"
At this moment, Artificial Ghost-Devourer issued a warning to Su Mo.
"Dodge to the right!"
Without saying a word, Su Mo pulled the control stick to the limit, and the entire Black Steel mecha deviated to the right. Suddenly, a pale white light swept past him, almost tearing him apart.
