Chapter 614: Chapter 492: Criticism (Additional for Silver Alliance Leader Shui Zhong Sha Tang) (Third Update)

Xiao Jie felt a sudden chill and subconsciously shivered, he looked around but did not notice anything unusual.

At this moment, the indigenous people at the scene shouted emotionally.

“Quick, get out!”

“You are not welcome here.”

…

Su Mo and his companions bowed and left with heavy hearts.

Karn watched Su Mo and the others leave, his aged face showing a trace of weariness as he sighed and shook his head.

————————————————–

Inside the massive weapon factories in the underground city.

One by one, the manufacturing machines suddenly started operating at full capacity.

Giant molds covered them,

and inside, you could hear hissing sounds, followed by the molds slowly rising.

You could see rows and rows of Security Guards being printed out.

The rows of Security Guards were then pushed out of the production line, scanned by beams of lasers, and automatically entered into the system program.

Successively, the Security Guards opened their eyes and all ran out of the factory with red eyes.

…

Shortly after, Su Mo and the others were all driven out. They temporarily stopped in a relatively spacious area of the underground tunnel.

The atmosphere of the entire team was extremely oppressive.

“Everyone, I am truly sorry, because of our mistake, this situation was caused,”

Xiao Jie, looking very apologetic, apologized to everyone.

Just then, Lin Ming’s face darkened to the extreme, and he suddenly exploded, walking straight toward Xiao Jie.

Xiao Jie instinctively stepped back in fear.

“Xiao Jie, and you all, listen well. Don’t think that this matter will just end here, because of your timidity and stupid actions, it’s not only led to the sacrifice of our team members but also caused heavy casualties among our allies. I’ve noted this account.”

“It’s not, Brother Lin Ming, listen to us explain, we were really forced to do this,”

Ye Wuheng, also somewhat panicked, hurriedly said.

“Don’t call me ‘brother’, call me ‘commander’!”

Lin Ming, like an enraged lion with veins popping in his eyes, looked terrifying.

“Commander, under that situation, we truly couldn’t hold on any longer. You saw how many enemies there were chasing us, and their firepower was so fierce,”

Xiao Jie, sensing the danger, hurriedly explained.

“Xiao Jie I had clearly told you, and even issued an order, explicitly prohibiting you from approaching us. Still, you blatantly defied the superior’s orders, which is, to speak bluntly, an act of disobeying military orders! If it weren’t for the fact that you are all part of the Federation, I would have executed you already. You just wait, until we get back and see you in military court!”

Lin Ming directly issued a stern notice to Xiao Jie and the others.

Cheng Xue, Karina, and Victor all watched the scene with cold eyes, showing no intention of intervening.

Hearing Lin Ming’s words, Xiao Jie and the others were completely thrown into panic.

“Commander, although we’ve disobeyed orders, we’re not deserters—it’s merely a case of seeking urgent shelter during a dire situation. Surely it doesn’t warrant a military court martial?”

“Right, we’re aware of our mistake.”

…

Unfortunately, Lin Ming was unmoved. The behaviors of Xiao Jie and the others had breached his limits.

“No more talking, there’s no room for negotiation!”

As for Su Mo, he was even less likely to speak on their behalf since he originally didn’t have a good impression of this group. Their actions had caused the death of so many in Jialan, not to mention casualties among the hundred elite explorers involved: thirty-seven dead and over twenty injured.

Seeing Lin Ming’s resolute attitude and that no one present was speaking up for them, and noticing their very cold looks, Xiao Jie felt increasingly uneasy.

This could not continue; he might be abandoned. His thoughts whirled rapidly, and suddenly an idea surfaced in his mind.

Hence, with an extremely repentant demeanor, Xiao Jie said, “Lin Ming, we really did wrong, but if we had any other way, we wouldn’t have done it. We were also fighting fiercely for the Federation Government, please give us another chance. We’ve discovered a very important strategic factory containing a large number of Third Generation Mechas, all powered by Energy Stones. It’s of great use to the Federation Government, we’ve also had our struggles. Now I’ll immediately lead you there, showing our sincerity and loyalty!”

“Do you think I would believe you?”

Lin Ming no longer trusted Xiao Jie and his group.

Su Mo didn’t believe Xiao Jie’s nonsense either, considering the character of these people, he said coldly.

“The devil would believe that, not going!”

“Su Mo, don’t cross the line. Weren’t you just an employee of Dawn Group initially? Who took you in? Who fed you? Who provided you a platform? Now that you’ve grown capable, you turn your back on us?”

Ye Wei jumped out, accusing Su Mo furiously.

Before Su Mo could retort, Qian Chengxue coldly looked at Ye Wei, “Ye Wei, are you unaware of what you all have done before? No one owes you anything, and you have no right to accuse Su Mo. Don’t forget what you just did!”

Ye Wei unconsciously stepped back, the shame in her heart making her very angry. But she dared not lash out at Qian Chengxue as she used to.

Because Qian Chengxue’s status was no longer what it used to be—even the older generation of her family had to speak to her with respect and calm.

Just then, the voice of Fake Owner•Devourer rang inside Su Mo’s mind.

“Go!”

Upon hearing the words of Fake Owner•Devourer, Su Mo felt a swarm of frustrations running through his mind. Was this entity insane? Why not say it earlier?

Speaking up now was like making him contradict himself.

Now he could only hope for others to offer different opinions.

A very embarrassing moment occurred, with Victor speaking sarcastically, “To fetch Third Generation Mechas? I fear it’s a one-way trip. If you’re so eager to share this information with us, we don’t want to be used as cannon fodder and end up never returning.”

Karina also expressed skepticism, “I think there is some trick in your words.”

Xiao Jie, thick-skinned, responded with a wry smile, “Officials, you’re mistaken, we really want to atone for our sins and prove our innocence. As for the Third Generation Mechas, you can question all of us, and if even one person says it’s false, I am willing to take the punishment.”

“That’s right, we can all prove it.”

Ye Wuheng and others confidently affirmed.

Seeing their certainty, Lin Ming’s tense expression relaxed a bit. They were now without Mechas, in a very perilous position, and acquiring Third Generation Mechas would provide them with some capability for self-defense.

Seeing Lin Ming loosen up, Xiao Jie eagerly continued, “Brother Lin Ming, that arsenal also contains many advanced Energy Stones. With those, we can fully power up the Fourth Generation Mechas and the ships outside, retake our weapons, and escape from here.”

After listening to Xiao Jie, Lin Ming was also quite conflicted. If it was true about the Third Generation Mechas and Energy Blocks, it indeed would be significant for them. So, he turned and looked at Su Mo and the others.

“What do you think?”
