599: Chapter 480: Slump (Second Update) 599: Chapter 480: Slump (Second Update) Putmi was alard and quickly started to explain.
“Lord Spade, I didn’t an it that way, just that we should prepare for the worst.”
“If you were saying our Black Brilliance was about to sink, your statent would make sense, and abandoning the ship to save the king would be a wise choice.
But we haven’t reached that stage yet; since when do we not dare to take even this small risk for our comrades?”
Spade rebuked with a hint of displeasure in his tone.
To put it bluntly, the troops that got swallowed up were basically the most valiant in combat.
Of course, it doesn’t exclude so who want to kick soone when they’re down to make a profit.
But they were absolutely the core combatants, mostly from the GT departnt.
Augustus then spoke up to persuade, “Spade, Putmi didn’t an it that way.
He was just offering a suggestion.
We couldn’t possibly abandon our own comrades so easily.”
“Hmph.”
Seeing Augustus speak, Spade didn’t say much else.
Li Ruiqi then spoke, “Lord Spade, Lord Augustus, do you have any good thods to explore the situation inside?”
“Ah, we don’t really have a good thod, but we are already having the GT departnt speed up the repairs on the Pure chanical cha·Shadow of Light.
If push cos to shove, we might have to risk Rose.”
Spade said gravely.
“Isn’t that too dangerous?”
Li Ruiqi’s eyebrows twitched.
“Of course we know it’s dangerous, but we’re not foolish enough to send the Shadow of Light in directly.
Dr.
Zhang Wei is already creating special chains, which will be wrapped around the Shadow of Light.
If a problem arises, we can pull it back imdiately.
I believe in the full burst power of the Shadow of Light, combined with the power of Black Brilliance, as long as it’s not too deep, we should be able to rescue it.
Of course, it’s not to say there is no risk at all since no one can predict every ergency.”
Spade explained gravely.
“I understand.”
Li Ruiqi nodded in agreent; indeed, besides this thod, there were no other feasible strategies.
“I have sothing to say too.
Repairing the Shadow of Light is going to take quite so ti.
During this period, don’t just sit idle.
Try every possible thod to probe the situation inside.
Besides personnel, don’t mind other losses and boldly experint.”
Augustus also stated his stance.
Hearing Augustus’ words, everyone in the command room was reinvigorated.
“Understood.”

—————————–
Eight days later, inside the hidden arsenal, combatants leaned exhaustedly against tal boxes, each appearing listless.
Su Mo also sat against a tal box, deep in thought.
At that mont, quietly, Qian Chengxue walked over.
She gently tapped Su Mo’s shoulder and whispered.
“Su Mo, co with for a mont.”
Su Mo, seeing Qian Chengxue calling him, was montarily startled and then slowly rose to follow her towards a corner.
Along the way, Su Mo watched Qian Chengxue’s graceful figure and, inexplicably, his heartbeat quickened.
Soon, they reached the corner.
Qian Chengxue slowly turned around, playfully flicking her silver hair, and spoke softly.
“There’s sothing I want to talk to you about.”
“I also have sothing I want to discuss with you.”
Su Mo replied instinctively.
“Ah, do you want to go first?”
Qian Chengxue looked at Su Mo in surprise.
“No need, you go first.”
Su Mo quickly waved his hand.
Then, Qian Chengxue took out two of the only three remaining nutrition bars from her waist pack and handed them to Su Mo.
“These are for you.”
Su Mo was slightly taken aback, looking at Qian Chengxue and quickly waved his hand to refuse.
“No, no need, you eat it,”
“I still have so.”
“How is that possible, when we allocated supplies before, everyone received the sa amount of Nutrition Bars.”
Su Mo said awkwardly, trying to refuse.
“I took a Type III Genetic Injector, I have better stamina.
I don’t need to eat that much, just take them with peace of mind, don’t starve yourself.”
Cheng Xue explained to Su Mo in a low voice, knowing that he was refusing for her sake, so she tried to explain as plainly as possible.
“Really, I don’t need it.”
“Trust and take it,”
“No, really, I don’t need it, and…”
“And what?”
“Actually, I was just looking for a chance to get so more for you.”
Su Mo couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the sa ti.
“How is that possible?”
Cheng Xue didn’t believe it at all.
At that mont, Su Mo directly pulled out a handful of Nutrition Bars from his pocket, five in total.
In fact, Su Mo hadn’t eaten any of his allotted share, just like the Fake Owner·Swallower said.
He could go half a year without food, let alone just six days.
However, he still felt the sensation of an empty stomach, it was just a matter of getting used to it, after a few more days of hunger he wouldn’t feel it anymore.
“How do you have so many?”
Cheng Xue was also stunned, unable to believe it.
“Cough, actually I eat very little.
Besides, when we were counting the supplies, I kept a few extra for myself.”
Su Mo had to make up an explanation, he couldn’t very well say that he hadn’t eaten at all, otherwise they would think he was a monster.
By this ti, it was the eighth day since they moved to the armory.
They had gone out to search countless tis, checking almost every nearby area, but had not found any food at all.
Su Mo and the others had even considered returning to the surface, but the path back was now guarded by Security Guards.
It was completely impassable!
The people had no choice but to conserve their food, but even so, the rations of Nutrition Bars would inevitably be depleted sooner or later.
At this point, everyone’s morale was very low, so even felt desperate.
Although they could last a while longer because of the Genetic Potions injected into their bodies, not finding any food at all made them feel an inexplicable despair.
“Alright then.”
Cheng Xue awkwardly took back the two Nutrition Bars, her face slightly red, as she hadn’t expected Su Mo to have so many.
“Cough, Sister Xue, you can have these, I can’t finish so many.”
Su Mo handed the Nutrition Bars he was holding to Cheng Xue.
“I can still hold on, maybe give them to the others.”
Cheng Xue shook her head.
“Alright then.”
Su Mo didn’t insist, and he turned his head to glance at the others present.
He walked towards a few injured NCOs.
Su Mo crouched in front of them, picked up a few Nutrition Bars, and said,
“Here, you guys split these and eat.”
The NCOs in front of him shook their heads after hearing Su Mo’s words,
“Sir, this isn’t right, we’re already lagging behind, how can we take your food?”
“There’s nothing wrong with it, there’s no such thing as lagging behind.
I am not so officer, just your comrade, just call Su Mo.
Alright, let’s not talk about this now, go ahead and share these.”
Su Mo shook his head.”
