477: 431 477: 431 “I shouldn’t have any, right?
Look, there’s not even a scratch on .
Plus, I’ve already taken a Type II Genetic Potion, which theoretically gives strong resistance against airborne viruses.”
As he spoke, Su Mo opened his clothes for everyone to see.
Qin Feng and others imdiately gathered around to inspect him closely.
The more they checked, the more they were surprised.
Excitedly, they said, “He really has no wounds!
Commander Su Mo must not be infected.”
Xiao Wen and Chen Shan also sighed in relief upon hearing this.
Chen Shan exclaid excitedly, “Damn, you’re really sothing for not getting hurt!
And you’ve even gotten yourself injected with a Type II Genetic Potion?
You’re really loaded!
Type I is only cheap because of the discount, Type II is insanely expensive, hardly anyone can afford it, I’m so jealous!”
“Uh, I guess.”
Su Mo responded awkwardly, thinking to himself, if I told you I had injected myself with the Type V Genetic Potion, you’d probably drop your jaw in shock.
Just then, Xiao Wen ca out of the cockpit and jumped down.
He picked up a brand new protective suit and handed it to Su Mo.
“Put this on first.”
“Okay!”
Su Mo quickly changed into it.
Chen Shan excitedly said, “Bro, you’re really lucky.
How did you manage to dodge that monster?”
“Uh, I’m not really sure.
I rember just falling down.”
Su Mo explained.
“I see, and what about your Black Steel cha?
It’s still down there, right?”
Chen Shan suddenly rembered and asked.
“Uh, it’s destroyed, completely unusable.
Let’s not talk about that.
We need to leave right now before that monster cos back, or we’re all dood.”
Su Mo urged hurriedly.
He had been in such a rush earlier in the Earth Cave to get Chen Shan to leave because he was worried Chen Shan would notice his Black Steel cha.
The damage to the entire Black Steel cha was so severe that no one would believe he was unhard.
At that mont, he wouldn’t even be able to explain himself!
After thinking for a few seconds, Xiao Wen responded, “Su Mo is right, we need to get out of here.
But there are a few things I need to discuss with all of you.”
“First, no one is allowed to ntion the attack on Su Mo, especially Fendi must not know.
Second, when we get back, I will personally monitor Su Mo.
If sothing goes wrong, I’ll know how to handle it, and lastly, we’ll try to perform a full-body check on him again.”
“Understood!”
Everyone replied in unison.
Su Mo, hearing Xiao Wen and everyone else’s words, felt ward inside.
“Let’s go!”
Xiao Wen said.
…..
Shortly after, Su Mo and the others returned to the Reserve Point Base.
They ran straight into Ze Mu and Ling Yin.
Ze Mu asked with a smile, “How did the mission go?”
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng and the others appeared unnaturally tense.
Ze Mu and Ling Yin also sensed that sothing was amiss.
At that mont, Xiao Wen remained composed as he responded to Ze Mu, “It did not go well.
We lost a team mber and two chas.”
Hearing Xiao Wen’s words, Ze Mu’s concerns were sowhat alleviated.
With regret, he said, “That’s too bad.
Are the rest of you okay?”
Su Mo, hearing this, felt a tightness in his chest, sowhat nervous.
“No issues, the rest of us are fine.
That’s a small piece of good fortune amidst the misfortune.”
Xiao Wen explained.
“Alright, thank you for your hard work.”
Ze Mu cordially responded.
“We’re a bit tired.
We’re going to rest.”
“Okay!”
Ze Mu and the others stepped aside, though Ze Mu was sowhat probing in his question.
He also worried that Xiao Wen and others might return from the mission with casualties and fail to report them.
There might be serious trouble by then.
After Xiao Wen and others had left, Ling Yin said thoughtfully.
“I always feel sothing is off.”
“Do you suspect Xiao Wen is hiding injuries?
Don’t worry about that.
I know him well.
If he said there aren’t any, there probably aren’t.
The weird feeling you have might be because soone else was sacrificed during their mission, and they’re just not in a good mood.”
“Maybe.”
Ling Yin didn’t say much else, since she didn’t have any evidence after all.
In fact, won’s intuition is sotis eerily accurate.
After Xiao Wen and the others returned, they gathered in a sealed room imdiately.
“Let’s discuss what to do next.
It’s not that we don’t trust you, Su Mo, and even though we know you’re not injured, we still want to check.
It’s for your own good,”
Xiao Wen said gravely.
“I understand.
Actually, I also think it’s better to check.
It gives peace of mind.”
Su Mo agreed, even though he logically believed there should be no issue, he still felt uneasy—who knows if he could be immune.
“Why don’t we go to Commander Fendi to borrow the detection equipnt?”
Qin Feng tentatively suggested.
Chen Shan paced back and forth with a headache.
“Borrow equipnt?
With Fendi’s alertness, as soon as we ask, she’ll definitely sense sothing is wrong.
She won’t listen to any of our explanations then.”
“Uh, so what do we do?”
Qin Feng was also stunned.
“Obviously, borrowing openly won’t work.”
Xiao Wen replied, quite certain.
“In that case, let’s not do things halfway; let’s try to steal a unit out.”
Chen Shan straightforwardly proposed.
“You ca up with that?
How big do you think one detection device is?
Do you think they are blind?”
Xiao Wen responded a bit helplessly.
“This won’t work, that won’t work, so what do you suggest?”
“Stealing the equipnt out is definitely unrealistic, but sneaking in to use it isn’t impossible,”
Xiao Wen thought about it and said.
“That’s a good idea.
What are we waiting for?
Let’s do it tonight.”
Chen Shan’s eyes lit up.
“What’s the rush?
Let ask you, even if the equipnt is right in front of you, who among you knows how to use it?
All these testing devices were bought from Star Ring City, and we’ve never even touched them before.”
Xiao Wen poured cold water on the idea.
Everyone looked at each other and remained silent, as if they really didn’t know how to use it.
“Uh, so what do we do?”
Chen Shan scratched his head.
“What else can we do?
Listen up, everyone.
From now on, all go to the GT departnt.
Help them out, get familiar with them, watch their treatnt and checking processes for surviving companions, and learn by stealth.”
Xiao Wen offered a more secure solution.
“That’s a great idea.
Let’s do that!”
Chen Shan’s eyes brightened, finding it feasible.
“What are you waiting for?
Chen Shan, take everyone and go.”
Xiao Wen told Chen Shan.
“Okay!”
Everyone soon left.
Soon, only Xiao Wen and Su Mo were left in the room.
Xiao Wen patted Su Mo on the shoulder to comfort him, “Su Mo, don’t worry.
We’re all brothers here.
If the test shows nothing is wrong, that’s great, but if sothing is amiss, don’t worry either.
Chen Shan and I will do our utmost to treat you.
We will never give up on you.
Even if it ultimately cos to it, we will send you off gloriously.”
