Chapter 70 - Not Good

Everyone followed Zhou Qian as they ran towards the rear, and Su Mo, having paused to block for two minutes, also began to retreat while covering their escape.

Just as Su Mo’s firepower weakened, a large number of Bai Ze rushed in.

The numbers were overwhelming, but fortunately, there were no two-tailed ones.

Soon, Su Mo and the others reached the rear of the base, where there was a passageway leading out.

“Quick, move it!” Sёarch* The Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Lin Zinuo continuously urged her companions.

Zhou Qian and the others fled desperately, having finally held on until now, no one wanted to die here for being too slow.

Before long, they successfully escaped from the base’s back door.

Su Mo, responsible for covering the rear, saw Lin Zinuo and the others escape and hence stopped blocking and sprinted with all his might towards the back door.

Just as he burst through the back door, Su Mo controlled the mecha to extend its hand and smash it hard against the emergency switch on the wall, directly breaking the switch.

The gate of the back door also began to close rapidly.

At this moment, the Bai Ze chasing them became even more frantic.

They were about to catch up.

Bang!

The gate of the back door shut closed.

Lin Zinuo and others who had escaped caught their breath heavily.

“We finally escaped.”

Zhou Qian collapsed on the ground, exhausted from the continuous fighting.

“Yeah, I thought we were goners.”

Qin Wang and several others also replied with immense relief.

At that time, the now-sealed back door echoed with fierce banging and roars, scaring Zhou Qian and the others into quickly getting up.

“No way, they still haven’t given up?”

“If I remember correctly, the guild’s information about Bai Ze said that they are a type of monster that holds grudges and is highly united.

The Type I Elite Bai Ze I killed earlier should have been their little leader, kind of like the alpha wolf in a wolf pack.

Now that the alpha’s dead, they naturally won’t stop until they’re dead or we are.

But don’t worry, this door behind us is super thick, not so easily broken through.”

Su Mo explained to Zhou Qian and the others without much panic, very calmly.

Zhou Qian and the others looked at Su Mo with a different respect, amazed that someone actually took the time to thoroughly study the guild’s materials.

At this time, Lin Zinuo took a rough look at their surroundings and discovered that the back door of the base was located halfway up the adjacent mountain forest, so she quickly spoke up.

“This place isn’t safe, let’s head to the mountain opposite.”

“Alright.”

Zhou Qian and the others quickly agreed.

Naturally, Su Mo had no objections, so Lin Zinuo and the others began their ascent up the mountain.

By this time, the sky had completely darkened, and the path up the mountain was very difficult, full of bushes and thorns.

One could easily get scratched if not careful.

Lin Zinuo and the others climbed with great difficulty.

Only Su Mo, piloting the mecha, was having a smooth ride, without any pressure.

However, the only downside was that the mecha’s fuel was only about half left.

The previous high-intensity battles had consumed a lot of fuel.

Actually, before retreating, Su Mo had considered going to the warehouse to switch to a brand-new mecha, but in the end, he gave up on the idea.

The situation was too urgent to allow for it.

“Su Mo!”

Suddenly, Lin Zinuo’s shout interrupted Su Mo’s train of thought, making him ask in confusion.

“What’s up?”

Lin Zinuo sighed and said helplessly, “Don’t you know how to be a little attentive?

Can’t you give me a lift?”

After hearing this, Su Mo controlled the mecha to gently lift Lin Zinuo up and then placed her on the mecha’s shoulder.

Lin Zinuo’s expression became even more helpless.

Straight men will be straight men.

She took a deep breath, summoned her spirits, and said to Su Mo, “Do you think it’s appropriate for me to sit here?”

“Where do you want to sit?”

Su Mo asked, genuinely puzzled.

“Sigh~ Open the cockpit, I’ll sit with you.”

Lin Zinuo kept reminding herself not to get angry, not to get angry, to smile.

It’s normal for a master to have a low EQ.

“Oh.”

Su Mo didn’t say much and just opened the cockpit.

Lin Zinuo climbed into the cockpit with caution.

“Where are you going to sit?

There are no other seats here,”

asked Su Mo, curious.

Lin Zinuo couldn’t help but roll her eyes and then said to Su Mo, “Move over a bit.”

Before Su Mo could react, Lin Zinuo squeezed into the seat with him.

Su Mo was speechless, but it didn’t matter since they weren’t fighting at the moment.

Zhou Qian and the others looked on enviously, thinking how nice it would be not to have to walk.

However, no one complained, as fitting two people into the mecha was already a tight squeeze.

Forty minutes later, Su Mo and his companions finally reached the mountaintop.

In the mecha cockpit, Lin Zinuo asked Su Mo, “How is the observation capability of this mecha?”

“Not bad, it has a night vision mode,”

explained Su Mo, slightly surprised.

“Then observe the surroundings and see if you can find any clues.

Figure out why we are constantly under attack, and just how many monsters are attacking us,”

Lin Zinuo expressed all her doubts to Su Mo.

“Okay,”

nodded Su Mo.

He began to operate the mecha, peering into the distance to observe the movements of the monsters near the base.

Since Lin Zinuo didn’t understand anything about mecha, she could only sit quietly and wait without disturbing Su Mo’s operation.

Moments later, Su Mo’s expression grew more solemn, his brows nearly twisted together.

The display screen showed a dense array of enemies, like a flood, streaming toward the distance.

Lin Zinuo, sitting beside him, suddenly turned grim.

“Why are there so many?”

“I don’t know,”

replied Su Mo, shaking his head helplessly.

“Let’s get out of the mecha and have a brief meeting to discuss this,”

suggested Lin Zinuo.

“Okay!”

Su Mo opened the cockpit.

Seeing the mecha’s cockpit open, Zhou Qian and others resting at the time teased,

“Sister Zinuo, you’re finally willing to come out.”

“Yeah, that’s not very nice of you, our legs are so sore too.”

“Enough joking, let’s have a meeting,”

said Lin Zinuo, all business.

Hearing Lin Zinuo’s words, everyone immediately stopped smiling and became very serious.

Lin Zinuo asked Su Mo, “Briefly tell us about what you observed.”

“The Bai Ze attacking us isn’t just a small group; it’s swarming like a tide, the numbers are countless.

From my observation, they emerged from the direction we came and a large number of the monsters have already crossed the base, heading directly south.

As for their destination, I have no idea,”

explained Su Mo succinctly.

Hearing Su Mo’s words, everyone present took a sharp breath, grateful that they had left that base, running out the back door to the side of this mountain, effectively avoiding the monster tide.

“That was close!”

“Yeah, we almost were goners,”

replied the group in unison.

Just as everyone was wearing a look of relief, Lin Zinuo’s complexion drastically changed as she suddenly realized something, exclaiming, “This is bad!”

“What’s the matter?”

Su Mo too was startled by Lin Zinuo’s reaction.
