Destiny Mission of game 'Star Ring'-Chapter 1516 - 1200: Hope_4

"Alright, let’s head to the hangar! Salile, I’ll leave things here to you, respond to any anomalies immediately."

Su Mo didn’t waste any words.

"Understood, Commander!"

Salile replied affirmatively.

Before long, Su Mo piloted the Light of Sin Abyss, accompanied by ten mechas, flying out from the Grey Fin.

Among the ten accompanying mechas, one was a Fake V Generation Pure Mechanical Mecha·Shadow, piloted by Karmen, while the remaining nine were IV Generation Pure Mechanical Mecha Night Guards.

They flew swiftly towards the distant Freedom Fortress.

Along the way, Su Mo carefully observed the surroundings, yet everything appeared normal without any issues detected.

The creator·Swallower spoke to Su Mo.

"Be cautious, it’s too quiet here, excessively so. Under normal circumstances, there should be at least some wandering monsters; don’t let it be your downfall."

"I understand."

Su Mo replied calmly.

Moments later, Su Mo and the others approached the Freedom Fortress.

At this time, they could more directly perceive the state of the Freedom Fortress, which appeared extremely shocking.

Karmen signaled to Su Mo using tactical gestures, indicating there was a damaged entry point nearby.

Su Mo immediately maneuvered his mecha to lead the way to the breach.

The breach revealed a mass of fractured steel structures and some wires, but the wire ends were not sparking.

Preliminary assessment suggested that the entire fortress should be in a power-outage state, at least this damaged area was.

Su Mo activated the night vision system and led the way inside.

Karmen and others followed Su Mo in an orderly manner, while those who hadn’t yet entered controlled their mechas to remain vigilant, their alertness heightened.

Quickly, Su Mo navigated through the breach, arriving at a hangar.

Tattered mechanical wreckage was visible everywhere, and there were many bloodstains on the ground, though these had dried up and blackened.

It was clear that a considerable amount of time had passed since they were left.

However, no bones or biological remnants were visible on the ground.

Karmen maneuvered his mecha to crouch down, inspecting carefully, then reported to Su Mo using a short-range, interference-proof communication device.

"Preliminary judgment based on the bloodstains suggests it’s been at least a year. No remains are visible on the scene; odds are, they were consumed by monsters. Commander, you might have to prepare yourself mentally for the possibility that the rescue requestors are completely wiped out."

"Hmm, got it."

Upon hearing this, Su Mo furrowed his brow, replying in a low voice.

"Of course, we cannot rule out the presence of survivors, but this Freedom Fortress is sizeable, and it’s unrealistic for the eleven of us to search it. I recommend we locate the central control first to access the data and understand what happened. If conditions permit, Salile can dispatch a large team for a thorough search then."

Karmen proposed to Su Mo.

"Feasible."

Su Mo thought for a moment and agreed.

"Commander Su Mo, do you know the exact location of the central control room?"

Karmen quickly asked.

"I don’t know, forgot to ask Augustus for the Freedom Fortress’s layout, a bit troublesome."

Su Mo regretted momentarily. However, it was unavoidable as the previous timing was too urgent to consider everything.

"No worries, exploring along the way, we’ll find it eventually; under normal circumstances, guide markers are present between passages."

Karmen didn’t elaborate further, indicating it might be slightly troublesome but not overly problematic.

"Alright, let’s move."

Su Mo immediately operated his mecha to walk out of the hangar.

At this moment, Su Mo was exceedingly concerned about the safety of Li Rui and the others, hoping they were still alive.

ps: I have some matters to attend to, will resume posting five Chapters tomorrow, (*^▽^*) please understand!
