Chapter 85 - Enemy Situation

Frontline battle players?

It seems they haven’t quite understood that Group Twelve is clearly the logistics of logistics.

Their main duty is housekeeping, otherwise, why would they only be sent to fetch weapons after others have cleared the area?

Another thing, they are not clearing new territory right now, but correctly speaking, they are escaping disaster.

All along their journey, they have been chased by monsters like homeless dogs, surviving is already a miracle.

“Su Mo?

Su Mo?”

Suddenly a calling voice pulled Su Mo back from his thoughts.

“What’s up?”

Su Mo raised his head and looked towards Lin Zinuo, who was calling his name.

“Nothing, I just saw you spacing out all alone after logging on, did something happen?”

“Oh, no, nothing.”

“Come on, your expression just now betrayed you, I could tell something was on your mind.

But it’s okay, if you don’t want to talk about it, I know what you’re thinking.”

Lin Zinuo confidently claimed.

“Are you sure?”

Su Mo’s expression grew even weirder.

Wearing a confident and brilliant smile, Lin Zinuo placed a hand on Su Mo’s shoulder and said, “You must be reliving the Council President’s speech from yesterday, and feeling incredibly proud of yourself for being at the forefront of pioneering human civilization, right?”

After hearing this, Su Mo was even more speechless, at a loss for how to respond.

Seeing Su Mo’s silence, Lin Zinuo instinctively thought she was right and excitedly continued to speak.

“Really, don’t just say that you’re excited, I myself was so thrilled I couldn’t sleep.

We were just playing games before, but now it’s different.

We are heroes fighting on the front line, sparks of civilization await us to ignite them, our future is destined to be filled with legends!!!”

Su Mo’s mouth twitched ceaselessly, he didn’t know what to make of her, being a hero isn’t so simple.

However, Su Mo could roughly make out Lin Zinuo’s true feelings, she was not content with just handling logistics and yearned for front-line pioneering and combat.

“Alright, enough of that, you’ve come at just the right time, operate the mecha to move all the remaining parts in the storeroom onto the ship.”

Seeing Su Mo not speaking for a long time, Lin Zinuo felt a bit at a loss for words, so she began to assign tasks to him.

“All of them?”

Su Mo was also somewhat surprised.

“Yes, Qin Wang and the others are planning to display a spirit of perseverance, preparing to stay up all night to accelerate the repair of this ship.

Once repaired, we can set sail, our destination will be the vast Star Sea!”

Lin Zinuo was in such a state of high fighting spirit, it was practically no different than having a shot of adrenaline.

“Alright!”

Su Mo didn’t say much more, despite it being a bit blindly optimistic and imaginary, it wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Fixing the ship sooner was a good thing as well, as they’ve stayed here long enough already.

A few hours later, Su Mo and the others were sitting together.

Lin Zinuo had made a fire on the deck, and they were happily making lunch.

The aroma of canned beef wafted continuously from the pot.

“Smells so good!”

All greasy and dirty, Qin Wang came over and happily said.

“I’ll give you an extra serving, you’ve worked hard these days.

By the way, how’s the repair going on the ship?”

Lin Zinuo cheerfully filled a bowl for Qin Wang and handed it to him.

“Thanks, Sister Zinuo.

The ship wasn’t majorly damaged, give me a little more time, and I’ll have it completely fixed,” Qin Wang replied, taking the steaming bowl of beef soup.

“Well done.”

“It’s nothing, it’s what I should do.”

Su Mo sat to the side, leisurely sipping the meat soup to warm up his body.

After all, the wind by the sea was strong and lately, it seemed to be getting colder, so this weather was perfect for some hot soup.

Chhh Chhh~~

Just then, a burst of static noise came from the communication device on Lin Zinuo’s waist, followed by Gao Mei’s anxious voice.

“Sister Zinuo, it’s not good, it seems like a large number of Bai Ze are moving towards us.”

At this moment, Gao Mei was keeping watch on the rooftop of the base building.

Because the weather today was very nice, all the fog had dissipated.

However, this also resulted in the exposure of the base’s location.

“Don’t panic, how far away are they from us?”

Lin Zinuo quickly calmed down and asked.

“By my estimate, only one kilometer, but it seems like they haven’t discovered us yet!”

Gao Mei responded somewhat frantically.

“You need to retreat right now.”

Without a second thought, Lin Zinuo issued the order directly.

“Sister Zinuo, what do we do now?

Abandon ship and run?”

Zhou Qian asked with some reluctance.

“Let me think.”

Lin Zinuo bit her lip, her heart sinking to the bottom.

“It’s too late to run now, without sufficient cover, we simply can’t escape those Bai Ze.”

Su Mo was sure of this, if anyone among them had a possibility to escape, it was probably himself, because he could pilot the Mecha and break through by force.

“Then we’re doomed.”

One by one, the companions present felt somewhat desperate.

At that time, Lin Zinuo turned her head straight to Qin Wang and said, “I want to start the ship and leave this place now, is that feasible?”

“This, this, this…

it’s not realistic, I haven’t fixed it yet.”

Qin Wang was also taken aback, even stammering in his speech.

“We don’t have time for slow repairs, can you get this ship moving and talk about it later?”

Lin Zinuo’s objective was very clear, since the land was not safe, then heading out to sea should be no problem at all, surely those Bai Ze couldn’t swim, right?

Qin Wang’s expression changed several times, and finally, it seemed like he made a huge decision.

“It’s worth a shot, but I need some time to warm it up and meanwhile fix some parts that have been taken apart.”

“How long?”

Lin Zinuo asked anxiously.

“At least two hours or more, and I can’t guarantee it will work for sure; it’s very possible that something will go wrong as soon as we start.”

Qin Wang had no confidence at all.

“Let’s take a risk!

Either we set sail far away, or we fall right here.

Other than those repairing, everyone else grab weapons and prepare for battle.”

“Yes!”

Zhou Qian and the others responded in unison.

Immediately afterward, Zhou Qian led a group of sisters to follow Su Mo off the ship, preparing to block at the harbor.

Lin Zinuo took another group to dismantle the four fixed machine guns on the ship, ready to provide fire support for Su Mo and the others from behind.

After Su Mo disembarked and returned to the Mecha, he quickly pulled over abandoned iron boxes and erected a simple Defense Barrier in front of the ship to serve as cover for Zhou Qian and the others.

Time trickled by, and everyone hid behind the boxes, growing more and more tense.

About an hour later, in the distance, Bai Ze with fierce and cruel faces seemed to smell something and let out excited roars.

Then, they immediately locked onto Su Mo and the others hiding behind the boxes.

“Damn, do these beasts belong to dogs?”

Zhou Qian couldn’t help but curse loudly.

Su Mo didn’t say much, but his eyes narrowed; he raised his firearm and locked onto the Bai Ze running at the forefront.

Then decisively pulled the trigger!

Bang!

The head of that Bai Ze was hit directly, instantly falling heavily to the ground, blood spilling out.
