Chapter 608: Chapter 489 Encounter

“It is indeed a bit abnormal, but now is not the time to think about that. We should speed up, missing this opportunity might mean facing even greater risks later on.”

Su Mo tried his best to persuade them.

“Okay, let’s speed up!”

Jialan wasn’t one to dilly-dally, after pondering for a few seconds, she immediately agreed with Su Mo’s suggestion.

So, the group began to hasten their pace towards the food factory.

Due to speeding up, it took them just over half an hour for Jialan to lead Su Mo and the others to the designated area. A gigantic abandoned food processing factory lay before them, with one third of the structure collapsed.

Jialan waved her hand and said to a woman behind her.

“Xiao Lee, you take a team and go around from the left side, scout out that area!”

“Understood!”

Xiao Lee nodded, then led a small team around.

Jialan promptly led another team to the right.

She carefully searched every corner, making sure there were no hiding enemies.

At this moment, a holographic scan of the entire food processing factory was projected in Su Mo’s mind, showing no red dots within; normally, this meant there was no danger.

It looked like the area chosen by Jialan and the others was reliable after all. Their ability to survive in such a dangerous environment for so many years wasn’t entirely due to luck.

After confirming there was no danger, Jialan waved her hand towards Su Mo and the others, signaling them to follow.

Su Mo and his group then followed, weapons in hand.

Soon they entered the food processing factory, where paralyzed machinery lay everywhere. Although these devices were old and covered in dust, they still looked very advanced.

Jialan said, “Xiao Lee, you’re on guard duty. Everyone else starts searching, and be careful, in case there is a Security Guard hidden in a corner ready to ambush us.”

“Understood!”

Everyone responded in agreement.

Su Mo turned to Qian Chengxue and the others and said, “Let’s start searching, too!”

“Sure!”

Qian Chengxue and the others also began to spread out and search.

The supplies they were looking for were simple, whether raw materials for producing food or finished products were acceptable.

In fact, normal scavenging tasks didn’t require so many people; more people usually meant a higher risk of exposure. But to transport the food for so many people, this many were needed.

Su Mo looked around and found a slightly ajar storage room. He instinctively walked over and then carefully pushed the door open.

Even though the AI ‘Swallower’ had told him that there was no danger, Su Mo still remained vigilant, just in case.

When he pushed open the door, an empty storeroom came into view, even cleaner than if rats had visited it.

Upon seeing this spotless storeroom, Su Mo had a bad feeling.

Indeed, dozens of minutes later, Su Mo and the others who were searching inside the factory regrouped with Jialan’s people.

Jialan’s companions had only found half a box of synthesized high-energy compressed food.

Xiao Lee said to Jialan with some worry, “Jialan, what do we do now? There’s no stock of food left in the factory. This little bit we found is hardly helpful; this food supply point is completely useless now.”

Jialan’s expression changed several times before she finally said, “I didn’t expect the situation to deteriorate to this extent, but we must collect enough food.”

“But where do we collect it from?”

“Go to Factory No. 103, that’s an unused reserve food factory. Its defenses shouldn’t be too strong,” Jialan considered for a moment before saying.

“This…”

Xiao Lee and the others were at a loss for words for a moment.

“Is it very dangerous?”

Su Mo asked curiously, seeing their hesitation.

“Of course, it’s dangerous. Although the defenses at an unused reserve food factory aren’t very strong, if we can’t eliminate Security Guards quickly, or if a stray guard escapes and sends out a message, we’ll face a purge by a large enemy force,” Xiao Lee said through clenched teeth.

Jialan turned to Su Mo and the others and said, “We’re taking a risk going there, and the danger level has increased significantly. You don’t need to come with us.”

“We’re companions now, how can we back down at the first sign of danger? We are not that delicate, nor do we fear death,” Lin Ming and the others said nonchalantly.

Su Mo joined in and said, “Don’t worry about us.”

“Then let’s set off,” Jialan decided.

Afterward, they immediately left the food processing factory and advanced towards the distance.

They hadn’t gone very far when red dots suddenly appeared on the holographic image in Su Mo’s mind.

Su Mo kept his cool and continued to follow Jialan, pretending not to notice the red dots unless they got too close. If they did, they would have to be dealt with immediately.

But it seemed that the journey ahead wouldn’t be easy.

…

In a huge Mecha factory in the underground city.

At the entrance, a group of Federation personnel clad in Mechanical Armor were rapidly firing at incoming Security Guards.

The team leader cried out anxiously to those behind him,

“Lord Xiao Jie, Lord Ye Wuheng, we can’t hold on much longer!”

“Hold on a little longer!”

Inside the factory, Xiao Jie and Ye Wuheng gazed at the brand-new, third-generation standard Mechas, ‘Hunter’, with eyes full of greed.

At that moment, several Mechanics were trying to hack into the encrypted devices of these standard Mechas.

Unfortunately for them, the time was too short, and the level of the Mechanics was too limited to break through the encryption.
