"We're leaving the day after tomorrow. Didn't you guys just arrive? Why the rush?"

"If it weren't for unloading cargo, we wouldn't even be stopping in Guangyao City. We're working overtime to unload everything. What was supposed to take seven days, we're finishing in three."

Ougulas explained.

"Where are you guys in such a hurry to go?"

Su Mo asked curiously.

At this moment, Ye Quan, Xiao Qijin, and the others at the table were all staring at Ougulas expectantly.

Lin Yaotian was silent, focusing on his meal.

Su Mo felt increasingly that something wasn't quite right.

Ougulas organized his thoughts for a moment, then said to Su Mo,

"Due to the surge of negative energy, the front lines are in critical condition. You should know about this."

"I know. And?"

"In fact, it's not just the Lewakris base that's in critical condition. Whether it's the First Cradle, the Second Cradle, or even the countries in the Third Cradle. The bases and troops on the planet Gu Shen are all having problems, and they're all desperately calling for help."

Ougulas explained.

"It's that serious? How did you get the news?"

Su Mo replied, quite surprised.

"Escape ships fled from planet Gu Shen. The situation there is even worse than at the Lewakris base."

Ougulas didn't try to hide anything, directly explaining the situation to Su Mo.

Su Mo felt a little troubled after hearing this.

At this moment, Ye Quan and the others couldn't hold back any longer. They braced themselves and said to Su Mo,

"Lord Su Mo, the situation on planet Gu Shen is terrible. A large number of infected monsters contaminated by negative god cells have escaped from the negative god star. They brought the negative god cell contamination to planet Gu Shen, causing the monsters on the planet to mutate, becoming more violent, bloodthirsty, and powerful, frantically attacking everything."

Lin Xiaoyu wanted to speak at this moment, but Lin Yaotian interrupted her with a look. Although she was somewhat unwilling, she ultimately closed her mouth and didn't say anything more.

Ougulas sighed slightly and said, "In short, planet Gu Shen is in complete chaos."

Su Mo turned to Ougulas and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

Ougulas took a deep breath and, swallowing his pride, said to Su Mo, "Actually, the Federation has dispatched a total of three Star Destroyers, a QianYue Fortress, and a large number of ships to planet Gu Shen for rescue. But the situation on planet Gu Shen is very complex and dangerous right now. I have a feeling that relying solely on our existing strength may not be enough to resolve it. So I was wondering if it would be convenient for you to lend a hand."

"That's not a problem, but the specific details will have to wait until things are arranged here in Guangyao City. Under normal circumstances, Goli should be releasing support missions to the front lines in the next few days. If I'm not mistaken, there should be missions to support both planet Gu Shen and the Lewakris base."

Su Mo said after pondering for a moment.

"Su Mo, will Goli force you to support the Lewakris base? After all, that's the Star Ring City's largest base stationed on the front lines."

Ougulas asked, still somewhat worried.

"You don't have to worry about that. Actually, the Lewakris base shouldn't have any major problems. After all, the Jiduo La Fortress and so many formalized troops are going to provide support. If the situation was truly urgent, so many of us from the Royal Knights wouldn't still be here."

Su Mo very acutely analyzed the current situation.

"That makes sense, that's great. Let's not talk about these things, everyone enjoy the food and drinks."

Ougulas breathed a sigh of relief. The main reason he had to invite Su Mo to dinner today was to ask for his help.

In an instant, the heavy atmosphere at the main table dissipated quite a bit, and everyone revealed smiles.

Qian Chengxue stood up at this moment and said softly to Su Mo,

"Su Mo, I'm going to catch up with my sisters."

"Alright!"

Su Mo smiled faintly and nodded in response. The main table was indeed rather boring.

Qian Chengxue then slowly stood up and walked directly towards Lin Zinuo, who was sitting at the side table.

She walked to Lin Zinuo's side and sat down.

Lin Zinuo was also quite surprised and asked curiously, "Sister Xue, why are you here?"

Qian Chengxue reached out and took Lin Zinuo's hand, asking, "Zinuo, I heard you're working in a Federation laboratory?"

"Yes, I'm following my father. I used to work on the QianYue Fortress, but after the QianYue Fortress was completed, I went to the Federation laboratory to assist Dr. Zhang Wei in weapons development."

Lin Zinuo said to Qian Chengxue.

After hearing this, Qian Chengxue said softly, "Do you want to come back to work? We're definitely lacking senior researchers here."

Lin Zinuo was stunned when she heard Qian Chengxue's words, and for a moment, she didn't know how to respond to Qian Chengxue.

A hint of hesitation appeared on her fair face.

Qian Chengxue said very sincerely, "Zinuo, don't put too much pressure on yourself. You can think about it carefully, but I'm sincerely inviting you."

"Okay, let me think about it."

Lin Zinuo nodded slightly.

......

Not long after, the banquet ended.

Everyone said goodbye to Su Mo.

Before long, everyone had left, leaving only Su Mo and Qian Chengxue. Everyone was very tacit this time and didn't bother the two of them.

"Let's take a walk."

Su Mo said softly, with a hint of drunkenness.

"Okay."

Qian Chengxue quietly walked alongside Su Mo, strolling along the quiet riverbank in Guangyao City.

The dim streetlights cast their shadows very long.

Su Mo looked at Qian Chengxue's cold face and said, "Xue'er, I feel like something's on your mind."

"Yes, a little. It's just seeing you becoming more and more outstanding, with more and more women around you, I always feel like I'm getting further and further away from you."

Qian Chengxue confessed to Su Mo very frankly.

Su Mo was slightly stunned, then reached out and took Qian Chengxue's soft hand, saying very seriously, "Don't think about those things. No matter how high I climb, I'm still me. What's between us will always remain unchanged."

After hearing this, Qian Chengxue revealed a smile.

"Then I can't just stay still, only watching you working hard. That way, the gap between us will only get bigger and bigger, and there will be a separation sooner or later."

"That will never happen."

"I believe you, but I also need to make some changes. What do you think?"

"Alright."

"That's settled then. I want to go to the front lines with you."

Qian Chengxue replied with her hands behind her back, smiling.

After hearing this, Su Mo was stunned for a few seconds, then revealed a wry smile: "So, after all this, you want to go to the front lines with me!"

"That's right. You just promised me, you can't go back on your word. No matter how dangerous it is this time, I want to be by your side."

At this moment, Qian Chengxue's entire temperament changed, becoming exceptionally heroic, her tone unquestionable.

"Alright! But you have to go somewhere with me first."

Su Mo didn't refute anymore, but he smiled and replied.
