Chapter 1079: Chapter 799: Unexpected (First Update)
“That’s right, if we don’t go searching because of danger, how is that any different from being a coward.”
Lin Yaotian strongly agreed with Su Mo’s words, that no matter what, they had to find the main group.
Unfortunately, where there is agreent, there is also opposition. Wang Ce and the others, though not directly voicing their objections, fell silent.
They had already witnessed how dangerous Ceres was during the forced landing.
Not to ntion encountering powerful monsters while searching, even getting caught in extre weather with a bit of bad luck would spell certain death.
Su Mo could naturally sense the resistance in everyone’s hearts.
He didn’t point it out directly, just said, “We’ll talk about searching later. Everyone must be tired, so let’s rest for a while. Afterward, we’ll discuss it together.”
“Alright!”
Wang Ce sighed in response.
“Also, don’t go too far to rest. Stay within the command center, the power is on here, and the life support system has been activated automatically.”
Su Mo advised.
“Okay!”
So everyone found a corner in the command center, huddled together to rest.
Su Mo, Lin Yaotian, Qian Chengxue, Lin Hai, and others gathered together.
At this mont, Lin Yuxin ca over with a bag of nutrition bars, handing one to each of them.
“Thank you.”
Su Mo took one, tore it open, and consud the nutrient liquid; he was indeed a bit hungry. Even though there wasn’t any combat, the high-intensity search was exhausting him.
Lin Yaotian conversed quietly with Su Mo, “Which direction do you think the main group will flee?”
“It’s hard to say, but moving such a large group is bound to leave so traces. There’s still a glimr of hope. The real trouble is this damned place: locations are untrackable, the monsters are many and strong, and along with the extre weather, it’s difficult.”
Su Mo replied while eating.
Qian Chengxue softly said, “Father, the other families are not very willing to search. It’s a bit challenging if we rely on just ourselves.”
Lin Hai echoed, “Yes, father.”
“I’ll do my best to persuade them, but if they are unwilling, we must respect their choice. In so sense, they’ve already done much; it’s understandable they don’t want more casualties. If need be, we’ll search on our own.”
Lin Yaotian spoke after a few monts of silence.
Hearing this, Lin Hai’s expression grew increasingly bitter. If this burden fell solely on them,
the Lin Family would surely suffer heavy losses, but Lin Hai knew his father’s character the best. Once he decided sothing, he wouldn’t change his mind.
At this ti, Su Mo also spoke, “Let’s rest first, then discuss with them later to consider what to do next.”
“Alright!”
Lin Yaotian responded promptly.
After eating the nutrition bar, Su Mo and Qian Chengxue lay down on the spot to rest.
Of course, not everyone rested; each family left enough people on watch. Although the base had been quite thoroughly searched and no dangerous monsters were found,
the base was huge, and they had only searched it roughly, leaving many areas unexplored.
Ti ticked by.
Most gradually drifted into slumber.
…
However, so twisted and turned, unable to sleep, their minds full of piles of gem-like minerals.
Hearts racing as though they were looking at countless Star Coins.
Their eyes gradually turned red.
One by one, they quietly got up and headed outside.
Before long, chas arrived at the area of the lift platform leading from the second to the third level.
Here, guards arranged by the various families were stationed.
Leading them was Lin Muxi, the fourth son of the Lin Family, who was piloting a fourth-generation Night Guard.
When he saw the approaching chas, he asked curiously, “What are you doing here?”
“Get lost!”
A wild and twisted voice shouted.
The approaching chas erupted suddenly, charging at Lin Muxi and the others.
“You’re insane!”
Lin Muxi and the others quickly regained their composure and moved to engage.
Crash!
…
While Su Mo and the others were resting, they suddenly heard urgent footsteps and sprang to their feet, eyes wide open.
They saw a man rushing in.
“What’s happening?”
Wang Ce and the others were full of confusion.
“Sothing happened over there,”
the man who rushed in exclaid anxiously.
“Let’s go check it out!”
Su Mo and the others imdiately hurried toward their respective chas.
Wang Ce and the others quickly followed.
Before long, they arrived at the elevator platform area, seeing eight exploded chas on the ground.
Eight individuals with bloodshot eyes were tied up.
Among them were people from the Wang Family, Ye Family, Zhang Family, Xiao Family, and even the Lin Family.
The eight of them were filled with greed, struggling and shouting.
“Let us go, those minerals are ours, ours!”
…
The common factor among these eight was that they all had been in the mineral storage.
Su Mo took one look and understood what was going on, saying in a deep voice, “It’s a negative energy eruption; their greed and desire must have been triggered.”
“It’s truly disgraceful.”
Wang Ce and the others had uncomfortable expressions as they spoke.
Su Mo turned towards them and said, “Once negative energy erupts, their personalities are essentially distorted beyond help. What I suggest is to deal with it; handle your own people.”
It’s not that Su Mo was cold-blooded, but there really was no other choice; this was reality.
Wang Ce and the others nodded and said, “We know what to do.”
Su Mo sighed slightly, feeling regret for these uncontrollable people. Although their willpower was weak, external factors undoubtedly influenced them.
“Alright, everyone go back and rest. Don’t overthink it; the greater the emotional fluctuation, the more dangerous it is! This is Ceres, where negative energy fluctuations are much stronger than those in Star Ring City.”
Su Mo warned everyone.
“Yes!”
…
The next day, after resting, Su Mo and the others gathered again.
Though most hadn’t rested well, having so rest was certainly better than none.
Su Mo addressed everyone, “Folks, you’re aware of the situation now. The Federation’s main force has moved and urgently needs supplies; we need to go search. It’s very dangerous, so participation is voluntary.”
At this, Lin Yaotian took the lead, saying, “I will personally lead a team out to search.”
Wang Ce and a few others exchanged glances, then spoke up, “Our strength is limited; we previously suffered attacks and had significant manpower losses. But rest assured, we will send people to search as well to do our part.”
“Alright, then let’s finalize this and make our arrangents.”
Su Mo did not elaborate further.
Thus, Wang Ce and the others proceeded to arrange the personnel for the search, although they wouldn’t dispatch core mbers due to the high danger involved.
