605: Chapter 486: Less Than Ideal (Additional for Silver Alliance Leader Shui Zhong Sha Tang) (Third Update) 605: Chapter 486: Less Than Ideal (Additional for Silver Alliance Leader Shui Zhong Sha Tang) (Third Update) Just as Su Mo was at a loss, Jialan, who had been silent this whole ti, finally spoke up.
“You ntioned earlier that you are from the Federation, what country is that?”
The truth was Jialan had remained silent because she was not good at making conversation and did not know how to interact with strangers.
After all, she lived in this residential area where there were only a few people, almost everyone knew each other since birth.
“How do I explain it?
The Federation is a democratic country with a parliantary system.
It’s normal that you haven’t heard of us, because we only ca to this part of the stars to participate in the Heavenly Cup.”
Su Mo explained cautiously.
Upon hearing the Heavenly Cup, Jialan instinctively raised her head, looking at Su Mo in surprise.
“You are also participants of the Heavenly Cup.”
“Yes, are you as well?”
“We are too, and we were selected for the second edition of the Heavenly Cup, which edition are you from?”
“It seems like the third edition.”
Su Mo was also not entirely sure, but hearing Jialan’s words made his heart skip a beat.
“It’s already the third edition, ti flies so fast.”
Jialan murmured, looking sowhat dazed.
“May I ask, what exactly is the Heavenly Cup?”
Su Mo couldn’t help asking, as this world had too many secrets.
As participants of the second edition, Jialan’s group must know many mysteries and might provide a startling answer.
“I can’t answer that question for you.
I only know that the winner of the Heavenly Cup can be reborn.
But whether it’s true or not doesn’t really matter anymore because we all lost.”
Jialan shook her head in response.
“Have you ever been to Ring Star City?”
Su Mo asked, growing more curious.
“I haven’t been there, but I heard from my grandfather that Ring Star City is a city filled with miracles, where you can fulfill any wish as long as you have enough Star Coins.
Of course, it’s also Hell because without Star Coins, Ring Star City won’t show you any rcy, not even offering you air to breathe.”
Jialan shook her head.
Su Mo gave an inward thumbs-up, finding this description of Ring Star City incredibly accurate.
Sigh~
Su Mo took several deep breaths and asked, “It might sound a bit offensive, but I’m really curious.
This place doesn’t seem very suitable for living, haven’t you ever thought about escaping here?”
“Escape from here?
Your thinking is too simplistic.
Do you know what chanical Planet is?”
“What?”
“This chanical Planet is the main planet of our Hongji Empire, the planet we depend on for survival, but it is also our empire’s mightiest weapon, known as the Imprisoned Planet Fortress.
This planet fortress has a powerful device called the Super Attraction Device, which can unleash both Super Attraction Power and Super Repulsive Force.
Once the Super Attraction Power is activated, any object that approaches the planet will be pulled towards it.
Not even a fly could escape, so don’t hold onto that fantasy.”
Jialan, trying to gain Su Mo’s trust, didn’t hide anything and straightforwardly answered his question.
Her response, however, felt like a bucket of cold water being poured over Su Mo’s head.
“Why does it feel like this device’s abilities are sowhat similar to those of Twilight Fortress?”
Su Mo suddenly rembered, asking in astonishnt.
“Twilight Fortress was once our Hongji Empire’s guardian weapon.
It’s not surprising that it has a similar device.
However, its effects are not on the sa level.
I also have a question I’d like to ask you, and I hope you can answer truthfully.”
Jialan explained directly.
“You say.”
“What exactly is your purpose here, how many of you fell onto the planet, and are there any more companions outside?”
Jialan asked pointedly.
“I know explaining this might not make you believe .
We were actually just passing by, originally planning to pick up so resources nearby, when we unexpectedly ca under attack by the Twilight Fortress.
During our pursuit of the Twilight Fortress, we were mysteriously dragged here.
As for how many of us fell onto this planet, it was all so sudden that I can’t give you an accurate answer.
But I suspect not many survived aside from us, and yes, we indeed still have quite a few companions outside.”
Su Mo divulged so of the truth after repeated consideration, but he didn’t elaborate on the situation with the Black Brilliance outside.
After listening, Jialan beca even more reticent.
Organizing his thoughts, Su Mo sincerely said to Jialan, “I know a few words won’t alleviate your concerns.
It’s perfectly normal for you to be cautious with us, as people are unpredictable.
But I can assure you of one thing, most of us are good people.”
Jialan stopped walking, gazing intently at Su Mo, which made his heart waver slightly.
After a long while, Jialan spoke, “I can’t verify what you’ve told .
But my impression of you is not that bad, and I’m willing to try to believe what you said, hoping you won’t let down.”
“Rest assured, we certainly won’t, and actually, our situations are quite similar, akin to comrades in misfortune.
If there’s anything you need help with, feel free to ask, we are more than willing to do everything we can to assist you.”
Su Mo nodded in response.
“I understand, but not for now.”
Jialan replied calmly.
…
Much later, Su Mo returned to the temporary camp.
Lin Ming and the others imdiately surrounded him, asking eagerly.
“What’s the situation?”
Su Mo raised his hand for everyone to be quiet and spoke softly, “To avoid unnecessary misunderstandings, I didn’t discuss many sensitive issues with Jialan.
However, I did learn quite a bit, and overall, the outlook is not very optimistic.”
“Tell us more specifically.”
Lin Ming urged, keeping his composure.
“The area we are in is actually a fortress called Imprisoned Planet Fortress, belonging to the Hongji Empire, and it houses a weapon known as the Super Attraction Device.
That thing is what pulled us down here.
It’s essentially an upgraded version of the absorption power of the Twilight Fortress.
If we don’t shut down that device, we’ll never be able to escape.”
“Then let’s find a way to shut it down.”
“It’s not that simple.
No one knows where the Super Attraction Device specifically is, and of course, it’s possible that Jialan isn’t telling the whole truth.
Additionally, those tal vines on the surface are a tricky presence, as they can absorb energy from chanical weapons and biological weapons.
If we want to leave, we must find a way to deal with them.”
Su Mo explained succinctly.
Hearing his words, Lin Ming and the others looked even more troubled.
“All right, let’s not get disheartened; just rest up and quietly make our plan.
Rushing won’t help now, as we definitely can’t escape any ti soon,”
Su Mo tried his best to comfort them.
Following this, Karina chid in.
“Su Mo is right, don’t think too much, everyone should go rest.
We’ve all been exhausted recently, hardly daring to even close our eyes.”
This scene also made Cheng Xue take another look at Karina, feeling suddenly uneasy inside.
Then, Lin Ming and the others sighed and responded.
“Hmm.”
