False Court
Chapter 542 Departure
Su Mo felt a little apologetic.
Soon, Su Mo and Fan Wu exchanged clothes. Dai Si turned to Su Mo and said,
“Keep your head down and follow me. If you encounter anyone along the way, don’t speak and don’t pay attention to anything.”
“Okay.”
Su Mo replied very cooperatively.
Then, Dai Si led Su Mo out of the interrogation room, closing the door behind them.
She personally escorted Su Mo towards the outside.
Su Mo’s heart was also racing a bit, feeling strangely stimulated.
Since it was late at night, there were few people active within the Black and White Institution. However, they still occasionally ran into some patrolling personnel.
But when the patrolling personnel saw Dai Si, they saluted and hurried past, not daring to stop at all.
So, the journey was relatively smooth. However, when they approached the exit,
Su Mo spotted Bakaton, that guy. His heart skipped a beat; this was a bit troublesome.
Dai Si naturally saw him too. She didn't panic at all but walked straight towards him.
Bakaton and his men looked startled when they saw Dai Si and quickly saluted.
But the next moment, Bakaton saw Su Mo following behind Dai Si, and his eyes widened.
Of course, he wasn’t the only one who noticed; his subordinates behind him also noticed.
Seeing the change in their expressions, Su Mo thought to himself that he was done for.
Just as Bakaton's subordinates were about to speak in shock,
a dramatic scene unfolded. Dai Si’s cold gaze swept across the faces of everyone present like a sharp blade.
“Do you have nothing better to do?”
Bakaton and his men shuddered and replied,
“No, we’ll continue patrolling.”
Then, Bakaton and his men hurried away.
Once they were far enough away, Bakaton’s subordinate said in shock, “Captain, isn’t that the officer behind Dai Si the one who was clamoring to go out just now? Shouldn’t we report her?”
“Are you an idiot? Dai Si looked at each of us just now, which means she memorized all our faces. If we report this, she’ll definitely settle the score with us one by one. Don’t you know Commander Dai Si’s methods?”
Bakaton reminded him.
Everyone present shuddered and didn’t dare to say anything.
“Let’s just pretend we didn’t see anything. Besides, I checked earlier, and that guy named Su Mo is also problematic. He committed such a big crime, yet he’s only grounded for seven days. He’s not someone we can afford to offend either,”
Bakaton said, his expression constantly changing.
“Oh, I understand.”
…
On the other side, Su Mo couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw Bakaton and his men acting as if they hadn’t seen anything.
Dai Si calmly led Su Mo forward.
Before long, they successfully left the Black and White Institution.
Outside the Black and White Institution, a general wearing a Generation III mechanical armor, with ferocious centipede-like scars on his face and an imposing presence, was already standing there waiting.
Dai Si said to Su Mo, “The person picking you up is ahead. You handle the rest yourself.”
“Thank you.”
After thanking Dai Si, Su Mo immediately walked towards the general.
The general saw Su Mo approaching and extended a thick hand.
“Hello, Major Su Mo. I’m Zhao Wushuang, here to pick you up!”
“Okay, thank you, General Zhao. Let’s go.”
Su Mo reached out and shook hands with Zhao Wushuang.
Zhao Wushuang wasn’t one to waste time. He led Su Mo towards the K1 Special Operations Hangar.
Along the way, he swiped his ID card.
They proceeded unimpeded!
Soon, they arrived at a super-large operations hangar, filled with warships.
Su Mo glanced around, realizing that this seemed to be the First Legion’s hangar. Although it was a regular legion, the equipment here wasn’t bad, and the number of combat personnel was extremely high.
Zhao Wushuang led Su Mo to a corner, whispering, “Lord Li Ruiqi has instructed that your mission needs to be kept absolutely secret, and no one can find out. So, you’ll use my ID card for system identification the entire time, and I’ll lend you my mech.”
“I understand.”
Su Mo nodded in agreement.
Soon, Zhao Wushuang led Su Mo to a corner. There stood an eighteen-meter-tall mech, covered in heavy black armor, with two beam cannons embedded in its shoulders, black patterns on its chest, and a black chain gun in its hand—the Generation III Heavy Mech, Kui Hu (Sunflower Tiger).
Su Mo’s eyes widened when he saw this mech.
“Isn’t this the Kui Hu?”
“That’s right, it’s the Kui Hu. Have you seen it before?”
Zhao Wushuang was a little puzzled by Su Mo’s reaction.
Su Mo sincerely thanked Zhao Wushuang, “So it was you who rescued us on Planet Batak last time. Thank you very much.”
Zhao Wushuang immediately realized, and a hearty smile appeared on his face. “Brother, you’re mistaken. Although it was my mech that rescued you on Planet Batak last time, it wasn’t me piloting it. Wang Hai borrowed the mech from me to give to a girl. As for her name, I can’t remember it for a moment.”
Su Mo was stunned when he heard Zhao Wushuang’s words.
He suddenly understood that it was Qian Chengxue who had rescued them last time. And the reason why Qian Chengxue treated Wang Hai to a meal was for this matter?
For a moment, Su Mo felt touched and grateful.
At this moment, Zhao Wushuang patted Su Mo on the shoulder and said domineeringly, “The mech’s fuel is full, and the nuclear mines you wanted are also loaded. Go ahead and use them boldly.”
Su Mo snapped out of his thoughts, took a deep breath, and thanked Zhao Wushuang.
“Thank you.”
“There’s no need to thank me. We’re all Z country people, so there’s nothing to thank.”
Zhao Wushuang said casually.
Su Mo nodded emphatically, saying nothing more; everything was understood without words.
He immediately climbed onto the Generation III Mech, Kui Hu, and opened the cockpit, jumping inside.
Then, Kui Hu’s eyes lit up, and the entire mech began to move.
Su Mo piloted the Kui Hu mech, bursting forth and rushing towards the sliding exit channel next to it.
Inside the command room of the Black Obelisk, Li Ruiqi quietly watched the K1 hangar’s exit open, watching the Kui Hu mech rush out of the Black Obelisk.
The information popping up on his screen clearly recorded the departing personnel: Zhao Wushuang.
Watching the Kui Hu fly into the distant starry sky, a look of extreme complexity appeared on Li Ruiqi’s face. On one hand, he hoped that Su Mo’s guess was correct, which would prove that he hadn’t misjudged him. But on the other hand, he hoped that Su Mo was wrong. If there really was a white hole, it would simply be a nightmare.
Thinking of this, Li Ruiqi couldn’t help but smile wryly. He never thought that he would be so conflicted one day.
…
In the starry sky, Su Mo was piloting the Kui Hu mech, with its power fully activated!
It flew quickly towards the distant starry sky like a stream of light.
Some passing Pioneer Company teams quickly moved out of the way when they saw the Kui Hu rushing over.
Some of the more hot-tempered personnel complained unhappily, “Damn, who is that? What a lunatic, driving so fast. Are they rushing to be reincarnated!”
“Hey, hey, brother, don’t curse. That’s a Generation III mech, and it’s from the military. At the very least, it’s a general-level figure.”
Other teammates in the communication channel quickly reminded him.
“Uh, I didn’t say anything. You’re awesome.”
…
At this time, inside the cockpit of the Kui Hu, Su Mo kept the engine at maximum output, and the instruments were almost exploding.
Su Mo was racing against time; he had already wasted too much time.
At this moment, the Artificial Creator·Devourer said in a deep voice, “Why do you have to do this? You’re just going to kill yourself.”
“I believe in my own intuition, and I believe in your intuition even more. I will never waver. Don’t you believe in yourself?”
Su Mo asked in return.
The Artificial Creator·Devourer seemed to be greatly shocked by Su Mo’s words. After a long silence, it replied in a deep voice, “I am never wrong. I believe in myself!”
“That’s right!”
Su Mo revealed a brilliant smile.
