Chapter 109 The Situation is Not Good

The next morning, Su Mo was sleeping in bed.

"Boss?"

"What is it? Can't you see I'm resting?"

Su Mo opened his eyes unhappily. He saw Sun Duoxiang, Zhang Hao, and others all surrounding him.

"It's not, Boss, why is your face so swollen like this? And why are you covered in bandages?"

Sun Duoxiang and the others asked, bewildered. They had just woken up and were startled to see Su Mo like this.

"I fell last night, okay? Don't worry about it so much. Let me rest for a while. Go do whatever you need to do."

Su Mo complained irritably. When he returned in the early hours of the morning, these guys were sleeping like dead pigs.

"Okay, okay. Then, Boss, shall we get you some breakfast?"

Sun Duoxiang quickly replied.

"No need. Just eat it yourselves. Take the door with you when you go out. Don't bother me if there's nothing important."

"Understood."

......

Afterward, Sun Duoxiang and the others left the room, looking at each other.

They could faintly hear them muttering.

"I'm telling you, Boss's face injury definitely wasn't from a fall. It's obviously from being beaten."

"Who's so awesome to beat him up?"

"Could it be someone from Sister Xue's side?"

"Why?"

"Think about it. The long night is lonely, so Boss secretly went to play poker with Sister Xue. But Boss didn't expect there were also eight people in Sister Xue's room. As a result, he went in the dark and was beaten by the other girls."

"Oh yo, that makes sense!"

"That's what I think too, hehe!"

......

More than an hour later, Su Mo fell asleep again, groggily.

Then, with a *pa* sound,

The door was pushed open violently, waking Su Mo up.

"Boss, Boss, don't sleep!"

Sun Duoxiang shouted anxiously.

Su Mo took a deep breath, sat up, and looked at Sun Duoxiang unhappily, telling himself not to get angry.

"Speak! What is it? If it's nothing, see how I deal with you."

"It's like this. I found out a big piece of news. The channel to the Eden Star System seems to be opening up soon. We can set off immediately. Everyone is going to wait and搶 (qiang) to snatch classification tasks."

Sun Duoxiang said excitedly.

It's no wonder Sun Duoxiang was so anxious. Although everyone was taking on rescue missions, there were skills involved in how to do this mission.

You could choose to rush in directly and save whoever you bumped into.

You could also choose to designate a rescue target, which usually had the most generous rewards. But the only trouble was that there weren't many of these types of tasks, so you usually had to抢 (qiang) to snatch them.

And the most important thing was to finish搶 (qiang) to snatch them early and set off early. You had to know that the channel was definitely the safest when it was first opened. Who knew if the monsters would desperately counterattack later, causing problems with the opened channel.

Another point was that going in early meant you could leave early, leaving more time to react.

In short, whoever could seize the opportunity could gain the most advantages.

Therefore, as soon as Su Mo heard what Sun Duoxiang said, he immediately got up and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier? Let's go!"

"Okay."

Sun Duoxiang replied quickly.

A moment later, Su Mo and the others all gathered in the mission hall.

There were a lot of people gathered here. Everyone had heard the news and came here to wait for the announcement and the release of exclusive missions.

Looking closely, Heath, Tia, and others were also present.

"I heard the channel is about to open. Is it true?"

"Of course, it's true, but we still have to wait for the official announcement. Otherwise, if it's fake or hasn't been opened yet, we'll be fools if we rush in."

"That makes sense, but even if it opens, it definitely won't be our turn to eat meat. The two Star Destroyers will definitely be at the front."

"Getting some soup is fine too."

"Look at your lack of ambition. We'll find a way to搶 (qiang) to snatch an exclusive mission later, and that'll be it."

"That makes sense."

......

Su Mo took a deep breath and waited steadily.

Just then, an official from the Star Ring City, wearing a blue and white uniform, walked in front of everyone. He said to the crowd, "Everyone, be quiet."

Everyone quieted down at once. The whole hall was silent.

The official said calmly, "Latest news, the channel to the Eden Star System was completely opened half an hour ago. The rescue mission has officially begun. You can set off. Also, if any of you are confident and capable enough to complete a deep rescue, you can also go to the hall next door to receive an exclusive rescue mission."

Hearing this, everyone present was excited.

Heath simply said to his subordinates behind him, "Let's go!"

......

Everyone walked toward the channel entrance.

However, just then, suddenly a group of fully armed soldiers sealed off all the channel entrances.

"What's going on?"

"Why is the road blocked?"

"Let us through! We're in a hurry to receive missions! If we can't get one, will you compensate us?"

"Brothers, let us through. We're in a hurry to set sail!"

......

Everyone was anxious, seeing the sudden change!

If the people blocking the way weren't from the Star Ring City, they would have probably killed them long ago.

After all, wasn't this cutting off their source of wealth?

"Your Highness Heath, something's not right."

Dikaga said in a low voice to Heath.

"Wait and see what happens. Keep the people under control. Don't clash with the people from the Star Ring City. They still make the rules in this world for now. Any conflict with them is very stupid."

Heath responded very calmly.

On the other side, Tia also turned her head and instructed Jiang Hanqiu, "Keep the people under control. The situation doesn't seem good. We're being held captive."

Jiang Hanqiu nodded slightly. She also saw the problem.

Sun Duoxiang asked Su Mo worriedly, "Boss, what do we do now?"

"What can we do? Just squat and wait."

Of course, Su Mo knew what was happening, but he didn't want to say it.

Almost all the high-level leaders of other countries were restraining their own people.

On the contrary, some independent operators couldn't see the situation clearly and asked excitedly, causing the atmosphere to become somewhat tense.

"Why aren't you letting us leave? We want an explanation!"

......

"No one is allowed to leave!"

A thunderous voice rang out.

Then, Bagger, like a giant, walked in with a group of elite soldiers, emitting a terrifying oppressive aura.

In an instant, everyone present quieted down.

Heath's expression changed slightly when he saw Bagger. He said in a low voice, "Things are troublesome. I didn't expect the people from the Star Ring City's Royal Order to appear."

In fact, the Royal Order was still very famous as the Star Ring City's top combat force. However, knowing was one thing, and not many people could actually come into contact with them.

The Twelve Royal Order Knights usually only operated in the first and second rings of the Star Ring City.

Of course, they would occasionally appear in the third ring, but that was rare.

Bagger looked around at everyone present and said loudly, "From now on, everyone will undergo a comprehensive physical examination. Anyone who doesn't cooperate will be regarded as hostile and taken down directly. Anyone who dares to resist will be executed on the spot!"

Hearing this, everyone present was dumbfounded. No one dared to be presumptuous.

Everyone was like a dispirited rooster.

Just then, Bagger's gaze inadvertently swept over Su Mo and his group.

Suddenly, he raised his hand and pointed at Su Mo.

"You!"

*Shua!*

Everyone's gaze focused on Su Mo and his group.

Sun Duoxiang's head was buzzing. He said in a daze, "Boss, what do we do? You've been singled out. We're done for!"

"Calm down."

Su Mo was also quite surprised. What was Bagger going to do? Why did he suddenly single him out?

Tia and the others frowned slightly when they saw Su Mo being singled out.

Xiao Jie's mouth curled up slightly when he saw this scene. Being singled out at this time would definitely lead to big trouble.

He felt very happy at the thought of Su Mo being in trouble.

The crowd discussed, "Who is that person? It feels like he's going to be in trouble."

"It's not just a feeling. He's definitely going to be in trouble."

.....

However, the next moment, Bagger's words almost made everyone's eyes pop out. He said to Su Mo, "You can leave first."

Su Mo's eyes lit up. This guy was righteous!

He didn't even hold a grudge against him for beating him up so badly. If he had known he was such a good person, he would have been gentler when he hit him.

Sun Duoxiang asked Su Mo in a daze, "Boss, they said you can leave. I didn't hear wrong, did I?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm going to get the mission first. You guys stay here and get your checkup!"

Su Mo replied happily. This was simply opening the back door. Everyone else couldn't leave, but he could. Didn't that mean he could get the mission first, and choose whatever mission he wanted? Wasn't that too good to be true?

Sun Duoxiang immediately realized and replied excitedly, "We're going to get rich! Boss, go get it quickly! Get as many as you can!"

"Don't worry. I know what to do."

Su Mo suppressed the excitement in his heart and replied calmly.

At this time, there was an uproar on the scene. When everyone couldn't leave, there wouldn't be too much emotion.

But when someone could leave first, many people couldn't accept it and questioned, "Why can he leave?"

"Yeah, what's the basis? This is unfair!"

"That's right, all the missions will be taken soon!"

......

"Shut up!"

Bagger shouted violently!

The crowd fell silent again.

Bagger said arrogantly and irritably, "Did you think I was discussing with you? I'm just informing you. I'm too lazy to argue with you. Whoever questions it is courting death!"

The independent operators shivered. They could feel that Bagger wasn't joking.

Then, Su Mo left straight away under the watchful eyes of the crowd.

Tia looked at Su Mo's leaving figure, her eyes flickering non-stop, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, seemingly more and more interested in him.

......

Not long after, Su Mo came to the hall next door alone.

There were a total of one hundred windows arranged here, all of which were open. There was no one at each window handling business.

Su Mo quickly found the nearest window and sat down. This feeling was simply too good.

The person in charge of handling business at the window he sat at was a very young girl. When she saw someone sitting down, she was also very surprised. Who was this person? How could he come to handle business so early?

"Sir, do you want to accept an exclusive mission?"

"What exclusive missions do you have here? Can you let me take a look?"

Su Mo asked impatiently.

"Okay."

The girl entered a string of commands, and a virtual image frame popped up.

A total of one hundred exclusive mission options popped up on it.

Su Mo's eyes lit up. The settlement rewards for these exclusive missions were all issued in the form of points, and they were very generous.

"I want this, this..."

Su Mo directly started selecting according to the rewards from highest to lowest.

"I'm sorry, sir. You can't choose like this. Each team can only accept one exclusive mission, and we also have to review your qualifications to ensure that you have the ability to complete the mission. In addition, if the exclusive mission fails due to your mistakes, you will also be subject to very severe punishment. The specific level of punishment will be determined by the survival status of the rescued personnel."

"Ah? So troublesome?"

Su Mo was also a little surprised. It seemed that it wasn't realistic to exploit the bug. He originally thought about taking all the missions and then reselling them to the Federation to earn a wave.

It seemed that it wasn't going to work.

At this time, the low voice of the Fabricator·Devourer sounded, saying, "Accept mission number no.75."

Su Mo was slightly startled, and he discussed with the Fabricator·Devourer, "Although the reward for mission number no.75 is very generous, it doesn't even rank in the top 10 among these rewards, does it?"

"That mission is to go to a famous research institute to pick up the chief research doctor there. There's a chance to get good things."

The Fabricator·Devourer replied in a low voice.

"This... then accept this one."

When Su Mo heard what the Fabricator·Devourer said, he no longer hesitated and immediately accepted the mission.

The girl in front of him also looked at Su Mo with some surprise. She originally thought he would accept the mission with the highest reward, but he didn't.

"Okay, sir, please fill out the form and fill in your ship and personnel. We will review your qualifications to see if you are qualified to accept it."

"Okay."

Su Mo didn't waste any time and immediately started filling it out.

After five or six minutes, Su Mo finished filling it out. The girl entered an audit command, and in less than ten seconds, a virtual prompt box popped up.

"Audit passed."

"Congratulations on successfully accepting rescue mission number no.75. You need to go to the Mist Star·Mist City Central Laboratory to rescue and transfer Master Oula and 234 researchers. The mission reward is 1 million points, and the points earned can be automatically traded and exchanged for rewards. If the mission fails, you will receive a maximum penalty of ten times!"

"Thank you."

Su Mo said.

Just as Su Mo finished handling the business, he heard a burst of footsteps coming.

Su Mo subconsciously turned his head to look, and saw Heath had already entered. He walked straight to a nearby window.

"This Heath is not simple, he's pretty awesome. He's probably the first one to accept a comprehensive physical examination."

Su Mo couldn't help but think in his heart.

However, this had nothing to do with him. Su Mo quickly left here. He didn't want to attract this guy's attention.

Then, Su Mo returned to the entrance of the isolation hall. He didn't go in, but waited here.

Looking far away, he could see a lot of doctors giving everyone a comprehensive physical examination.

After all, this was a rescue mission. If spies got mixed in, that would be terrible.

Su Mo carefully thought about it. In fact, according to normal circumstances, the incident that happened last night should have been subject to a strict investigation. Normally, it wouldn't be possible to complete the investigation in less than ten days.

Now, they were just checking everyone's bodies and letting them leave. It could more or less be seen that the situation there wasn't good.

Not long after, people from the major empires completed their checks and immediately rushed to the hall next door.

Su Mo stretched his waist and waited quietly.

More than two hours later, Sun Duoxiang ran out first. He rushed to Su Mo and屁颠屁颠 (pi dian pi dian - eagerly flattered someone).

"Boss, did you get the mission?"

"Done, I got a very lucrative one."

Su Mo said in a good mood.

"Ah? Just one? Boss, you can't be so conservative. No matter how many missions we can do, you should accept them first, and then we can resell them to others."

Sun Duoxiang had a disappointed look on his face.

"Okay, don't be ungrateful. Each team can only accept one. Do you think this is a game? You want to accept all of them? Okay, you wait for the others here. I'll go to the Shadow first. We'll set off when everyone arrives."

Su Mo shook his head helplessly.

"Okay!"

......

After a long time, a large number of ships began to quickly leave the Kiddora Planetary Fortress.

From a distance, it looked like a swarm of bees pouring out of a hive. The scene was very spectacular.

.....

Inside the Shadow's command room.

Sun Duoxiang was very curious, eagerly flattering Su Mo.

"Boss, how did you do it? You didn't even have to get a checkup. You don't know the look on those people's faces after you left! It was so ugly!"

"Okay, don't ask about that. Focus on controlling the ship and don't make any mistakes. We're going to war, not sightseeing."

Su Mo deliberately changed the subject. He couldn't explain it. The more he explained, the more trouble it would cause.

"Okay!"

Seeing that Su Mo didn't want to say anything, Sun Duoxiang didn't continue to ask.

......

At the entrance to the Eden Star System, groups of Star Ring City ships were blocking the way.

All the ships that had rushed over stopped.

On the Shadow, Sun Duoxiang said with a puzzled look, "Boss, didn't you say the channel was open? Why haven't they opened it for us to pass through yet?"

"I don't know. Let's wait and see."

Su Mo walked to the observation deck, looking at the blockade in the distance.

It would have been fine if he hadn't looked, but after taking a look, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

The ships that the Star Ring City used to block the way looked particularly advanced. The lowest was a Level 4 battleship, and there were a lot of Level 5 ships as well. Judging from the deployment,

They used 1 Level 5 ship equipped with 2 Level 4 ships, forming an independent fleet.

At the same time, the Star Ring City fleet also released a large number of individual weapons to assist in the blockade, such as mecha, starfighters, unmanned defense aircraft, mobile space fortresses, etc.

From time to time, bright lights could be seen exploding in the distant starry sky, and it hadn't stopped. Those were all battles.

In the public channel, countless anxious voices rang out.

"What's going on? Open the channel quickly. We want to go over."

"Yeah, didn't you say it was open?"

......

Inside the blockade fleet.

A Star Destroyer that was 180 kilometers long, with dark green patterns all over its armor, a sharp, needle-like bow, and countless launch ports densely packed on its hull.

Its main gun fired a dazzling green beam of light, which cut through the starry sky and struck a monster in the distance.

With a *boom*,

A dazzling ball of light lit up in the distance.

Inside the command room of the Star Destroyer·Green Radiance.

An adjutant respectfully reported, "Commander Boler, the main gun successfully hit a V-type elite-level contaminated alien species·Devouring Beast. The target's biological reaction has disappeared. Confirmed kill!"

At this time, a middle-aged man with wrinkles all over his face, some gray hair at his temples, a serious expression, and wearing a Star Ring City military uniform nodded slightly.

"Well, good job. How is the channel situation now?"

"Report! We have set up a total of 1,200 defense nodes above, below, left, and right of the channel. Currently, 745 defense nodes are constantly being impacted by monsters, but they are all within the range of tolerance. The channel is temporarily stable. However, a large number of monsters are still breaking through the defense nodes and rushing into the inner defense line, but we have followed the requirements and tried our best to reduce the proportion of monsters breaking through to 1%."

"That's enough. Let the troops at the entrance gate open up. Let those people in. Now it's up to their performance."

Boler replied in a deep voice.

The adjutant next to him hesitated and said, "Lord Boler, why don't we save them ourselves? Can we rely on those people?"

"This attack was too sudden, and there simply aren't enough manpower. Rest assured, we have done the most difficult part for them, and I heard that there are two Star Destroyers in the fleet that came to rescue, which means they are still capable. They should still be competent to save people."

Boler said with some self-comfort.

"Yes."

......

At the entrance to the Eden Star System, one ship after another moved, moving to both sides.

"The blockade is open. Brothers, charge!"

"Whether we eat meat or drink soup depends on ourselves."

......

In the public channel, enthusiastic voices rang out.

In an instant, a massive fleet started up and rushed in.

On the Shadow, Sun Duoxiang turned his head to look at Su Mo.

"Boss, are we going in?"

"Go!"

Su Mo didn't have anything to hesitate about.

"Okay, full-speed ahead!"

Sun Duoxiang pushed the power device to the maximum, and the Shadow followed and rushed in.

At this time, the Fabricator·Devourer presented the surrounding area scan in Su Mo's mind.

The so-called safe channel was actually a defense line established by the Star Ring City's troops using various defensive weapons to block the impact of the surrounding monsters and create a relatively safe route.

Su Mo could see clusters of green dots all around the safe defense line.

Outside, a large number of red dots were constantly impacting, and of course, there were also many red dots that slipped through the net.

Seeing this, Su Mo raised his head and reminded Sun Duoxiang, "Keep the energy shield at maximum power. Pay attention to safety. This route is not very safe."

"Understood."

Sun Duoxiang nodded in response.

As soon as Su Mo finished speaking, a Level 2 frigate flying in front of them suddenly exploded.

An IV-type Red Dragonfly insect attacked the frigate.

It instantly caused panic and chaos in the area.

"Damn it, wasn't this supposed to be a safe channel? How can there be such a strong monster? We just came in!"

"Kill it quickly!"

"Why don't you go?"

"If I could beat it, I would have already gone."

......

Just then, a pseudo-V-generation bio-mecha that was sixty meters tall, with general bone armor and white alloy armor, a black bone head, a bone tail that was a hundred meters long, and wielding dual particle light blades, suddenly flashed in front of the IV-type Red Dragonfly insect with an incomparably tyrannical posture and killed it with a single slash!

There was a burst of cheers in the public channel.

"Great, that monster has been killed."

"Who is that so strong?"

"Are you an idiot? Look at the logo on the chest of the mecha. That pseudo-V-generation bio-mecha is from the Federation."

"You guys are really outdated. You don't even recognize him. He's the newly rising super expert from the Federation. I think his name is Wang Ke!"

......

Su Mo subconsciously took another look. Not only was the performance of that mecha good, but the operator's skills were also good.

That attack just now was fast, accurate, and ruthless!

A precise knife ended that monster.

Sun Duoxiang said disdainfully, "It's just killing an IV-type monster. What's there to brag about? Boss, if you make a move, you'll definitely be more awesome than him."

"Okay, just steer your ship. It has nothing to do with us."

As soon as Su Mo finished speaking,

*Boom*

The entire Shadow shook.

Then a prompt popped up: "Warning, under attack."

Seven or eight different types of III-type monsters were attacking the Shadow.

"Damn! Looking for death!"

Sun Duoxiang immediately opened one launch port after another, and a barrage of missiles poured out, sending them on their way.

Soon the alarm was lifted.

However, Su Mo's expression didn't ease much. They had only just entered the channel and were already under attack. The road ahead would definitely be difficult.

"How long do we estimate it will take to travel?"

Su Mo asked.

Zhang Hao immediately replied, "If nothing unexpected happens, our single-line voyage should be about 43 hours."

ps: I have a meeting later, and I'll add more tomorrow, please forgive me!
