Chapter 613: Chapter 491: Seeing the Guest Off (Second Update)
At that time, because the enemy was converging towards the alley, they were unusually dense, and the red metal ball landed precisely among them.
Instantly, an earth-shattering explosion swept across.
Even the massive War Guards were overturned by the blast.
After the explosion had subsided, Su Mo felt his head buzzing; he struggled to rise and shook his head.
He looked towards the distant street area; the steel ground had been blown apart entirely, the power of that red metal ball was extraordinarily fierce.
At that moment, Jialan got up, gasping for breath, and said,
“Let’s go!”
Following that, Su Mo and the others retreated towards the manhole cover. By then, most of the surviving personnel had already evacuated.
They jumped down.
….
In the underground residential area, residents spontaneously stood at the edge, looking towards the entrance of the return passage, hoping for their loved ones who had gone outside to return.
Karina and Victor watched this scene and were deeply moved.
“Karina, do you think one day we might end up like them?”
“It’s hard to say. Maybe our civilization will end worse than theirs. But am I not striving to prevent just that?”
Karina revealed a smile to Victor as she spoke.
Victor, looking at the smile on Karina’s face, was stunned and remained speechless for a long while.
“Victor?”
Seeing Victor dumbfounded, Karina called out in confusion.
“Uh.”
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing…”
Victor responded somewhat awkwardly.
At that moment, suddenly there was a commotion in the distance, followed by crying and shouting.
Karina and Victor instinctively turned their heads to look, only to see crowds of residents rushing towards the passage entrance.
“It looks like something happened; let’s go check it out,”
Karina and Victor immediately sensed that something was wrong.
At the entrance of the passage, a number of explorers, heavily scarred, supported each other as they returned, also carrying a considerable number of injured comrades and bodies.
At that point, numerous relatives surged forward, holding their deceased loved ones and cried heartbreakingly.
In the back of the group, Jialan walked in with an extremely pale face and an icy cold gaze.
Following behind, the situation on Su Mo’s side was not much better.
Among the group, Lin Ming was like an enraged lion, furiously glaring at Xiao Jie and the others.
Ye Wuheng and Xiao Jie involuntarily stepped aside.
“What happened? How did it come to this?”
At this moment, several elders ran over in terror, seeing the tragic scene, they asked in sorrow.
Bowing his head, Jialan said,” Elders, I have let you down.”
“Jialan, quickly tell us what exactly happened?”
“It can’t be blamed on Lord Jialan. It was all the doing of those people.”
At this, one of Jialan’s subordinates angrily pointed at Xiao Jie and his group.
“What exactly happened.”
The elders present were incredibly furious.
Jialan took a deep breath and began to explain, “We followed the original plan and headed to the food factory, but there was no food left there. Later, we decided to take the risk and open a new food factory. At first, everything went very smoothly, we successfully took over a spare food factory and obtained a rich supply of food. However, on the way back, these people lured the enemy towards us. We were forced to fight in haste, resulting in heavy casualties.”
“This…”
The elders were completely stunned.
By the side, Karina and Victor, hurried over to where Su Mo and the others were and asked in shock, “Is what they are saying true?”
“Yes. Xiao Jie and others ignored our warnings and lured the enemy here, leading to heavy casualties,”
Su Mo explained somberly.
“Are you idiots!”
Victor, like a keg of gunpowder suddenly ignited, was about to go over and hit Xiao Jie and his group.
At that moment, Li Cheng and others hurriedly stopped Victor.
“Commander, please calm down.”
Ye Wuheng and Xiao Jie, among others, didn’t look too good at this time, but they kept silent. Even a fool knew that talking back now was asking for trouble.
At this time, an elder at the scene, looking at a freshly dead body, roared in immense fury.
“I had said before, outsiders are a disaster. You just wouldn’t believe it! Now you see, don’t you!”
“Get out!”
“Get out! Murderers!”
The people present immediately erupted in anger.
…
For a while, the crowd was fiercely agitated.
“Enough!”
At that moment, a commanding shout rang out, and Karn walked over, leaning on a mechanical cane.
Instantly, everyone quieted down, even those who had been wailing loudly switched to sobbing.
Karn surveyed everyone and said in a deep voice, “No one wishes for tragedy to occur, but reality is reality, what has happened cannot be changed. What use is your anger here? Jialan!”
“Here, Grandfather.”
“You led the team this time, you know best what happened, handle it yourself,”
Karn said sternly.
Jialan was taken aback for a moment, then her gaze grew more resolute, she nodded, then extended her finger towards Xiao Jie and the others.
“You are not our guests, we do not welcome you, leave!”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jie and others’ faces turned very ugly. Outside were enemies everywhere, being driven out now was akin to being sent to their deaths.
They urgently pleaded with Lin Ming and others.
“Commander Lin Ming, please plead for us, there are enemies everywhere outside.”
Lin Ming just snorted coldly with a steely expression and ignored Xiao Jie and his group.
Then Jialan walked over to Su Mo and his group.
“This incident is not your fault, you were at the forefront during the battle, showing no signs of retreat, you are our guests, you may stay.”
After hearing this, Su Mo sighed deeply and began to speak.
“I’m sorry, even though this incident wasn’t subjectively caused by us, Xiao Jie and his group are indeed part of our team. No matter what, it’s because of us that your people suffered heavy casualties, we have no face to continue staying here.”
At this moment, Lin Ming also spoke sternly, “Su Mo is right, no matter how thick our skins are, we have no face to stay here any longer, we are sorry everyone.”
Upon hearing Su Mo and his words, Jialan fell even more silent.
Actually, she had a flicker of doubt, wanting to forgive Xiao Jie and their faults. But then she thought of Xiao Lee and the others who died, what right did she have to forgive them on their behalf?
Jialan, biting her lip, said, “Show them out!”
Su Mo silently bowed to Jialan, realizing in a way he facilitated their contact with Jialan’s group.
This was akin to inadvertently causing trouble for them, Su Mo also felt deeply guilty.
An elder present coldly interjected, “What are you waiting for? Show them out!”
Seeing that Lin Ming and others were also leaving, Xiao Jie internally breathed a sigh of relief. It was fortunate that it wasn’t just him being driven out; at least there were others being driven out together.
If it had been just them, the outlook would indeed be dire.
Just then, inside the data black box in Xiao Jie’s backpack, an extinguished indicator light suddenly blinked.
At the same time, the “Fake Owner · Devourer” inside Su Mo’s body, suddenly opened its eyes.
