"There’s nothing strange about it. The monsters here have already mutated so drastically that they can’t be viewed with ordinary perspectives."
The Creator Swallower replied in a deep voice.
"Sigh."
Su Mo sighed softly.
....
Half a month later, Su Mo sat in the command chair, holding a cup of coffee, occasionally sipping to stay alert.
Salile was reporting to Su Mo about the situation in recent days.
"We’ve been in the Demon’s Eye for fifteen days, during which we have encountered a total of one hundred and thirty-two monster attacks, with the most advanced monster form being Type IV. Our people discovered shipwrecks in several places, but after detailed analysis, all were ruled out as irrelevant. We still have no leads. According to Gris, we’ve reached a considerable depth."
"I understand, how long can our supplies sustain us now?"
Su Mo replied calmly.
"We have a very abundant supply; without battles, sustaining us for five or six years shouldn’t be a problem. If we include the materials you brought, we can easily last fifty years."
Salile replied with confidence.
Su Mo stroked his chin and fell into contemplation. The supplies were indeed abundant, and theoretically, a slow search should be feasible.
At this point, the Creator Swallower said in a low voice, "No, you cannot waste that much ti; you still need to find the old man’s Pala Fruit."
Su Mo replied to the Creator Swallower without betraying his emotions, "Don’t worry, I’ll plan it well."
"You better."
The Creator Swallower replied in a deep voice.
Su Mo looked up and called out to Gris not far away, "Gris, co here."
Hearing this, Gris walked over.
"What’s up?"
After pondering for a mont, Su Mo said to Gris, "Is there any way to speed up the search? I feel like several months might pass without results."
Gris thought for a mont and then said to Su Mo, "Yes, but it’s very risky."
"Let’s hear it."
Su Mo replied seriously.
"Then we accelerate the navigation speed and conduct a large-scale search like a sifting net. Although the probability of missing clues is high, the probability and efficiency of finding them will also increase. However, the downside is that it might alert the monsters here, and we might lose direction and beco lost."
Gris explained thoroughly to Su Mo.
The Creator Swallower then said to Su Mo in a low voice, "It’s okay, let it be. Although my scanning ability is severely disrupted, I can easily record the Star Destroyer Grey Fin’s state and trajectory, so you won’t really get lost."
After listening to the Creator Swallower, Su Mo said to Gris without hesitation.
"It’s fine, let’s speed up."
"Alright."
Seeing Su Mo’s decision, Gris didn’t argue further.
So the Star Destroyer Grey Fin began to accelerate, ramming directly through smaller debris.
As the Star Destroyer Grey Fin sped forward, phantom-like shadows began to erge behind drifting debris in the distant starry sky.
...
A month later, Su Mo lay on the bed in the captain’s rest room next to the command room, taking a short nap.
Bang!
The door was flung open.
The mont it opened, Su Mo’s eyes opened wide.
Gris rushed in and said eagerly to Su Mo, "Commander Su Mo, we seem to have found the Freedom Fortress."
Upon hearing this, Su Mo sprang up.
"Are you sure?"
"Ninety percent sure."
Gris said with certainty.
Su Mo quickly got out of bed and walked out of the rest room towards the command room.
He talked with Gris while walking.
"How did you find it?"
"It was observed using a telescope by the observer below. I was also very surprised, finding it sowhat unbelievable. Frankly speaking, I didn’t have much hope for this rescue mission."
Gris said to Su Mo.
"Hmm."
Su Mo suppressed the joy in his heart.
Soon, Su Mo and Gris arrived at the command room, where Salile and others gathered on the left side of the command room at the observation deck, all looking through telescopes.
Su Mo hurriedly went up.
Seeing Su Mo approach, Salile quickly made room for him.
Using the telescope, Su Mo looked into the distance; a roughly crafted, steel-constructed, circular fortress appeared in his vision.
The entire fortress looked dilapidated, with nurous gun barrels and launch ports in a damaged state.
It was evident from the surface what this fortress had been through.
"Great, that’s it!"
Su Mo said with imnse excitent.
Salile hurriedly asked Su Mo, "Now, the Freedom Fortress is just silently floating there, seemingly without a power source. We don’t know what happened to it. To be cautious, we haven’t approached it recklessly."
"That was the right call."
Su Mo nodded in agreent.
"Commander Su Mo, what should we do now? Should we send a reconnaissance team first?"
Gris tentatively suggested.
"No need for the trouble; I’ll personally lead a team up there."
Su Mo imdiately rejected it, eager to understand the situation on the Freedom Fortress.
To confirm whether Li Rui and the others are still alive, although the current situation seed far from ideal.
Salile initially wanted to persuade Su Mo that it might be too reckless, but rembering Su Mo’s formidable capability, he quickly changed his tone and said.
"Alright then, Commander Su Mo, let have my lieutenant Karn accompany you with so people; he’s skilled in this area."
