Chapter 115 Erroneous

Su Mo controlled the Radiant Wings, standing to the side and gazing at the massive underground city constructed of loess, his expression thoughtful but without much fluctuation.

Of course, he didn't say anything either.

Several hours later, Hughes and the others returned in their mechs.

"Lord Spader."

"How was it?"

Spader and the others quickly asked.

Hughes hesitated for a moment before reporting to Spader and the others.

"We found a large number of our fallen personnel's corpses and mechanical wreckage inside that loess city. If we're not mistaken, that loess city is the City of Gold."

Hearing Hughes and the others' words, the expressions of Spader and the other commanders were as ugly as could be.

Luo Meng couldn't help but ask anxiously, "What about the things inside? The gems and precious minerals?"

"We checked briefly, and there were only some waste stones and loess inside. Not much of value."

Hughes shook his head and replied.

This sentence completely shattered Luo Meng and the others' fantasies.

Luo Meng and the others were unsteady on their feet for a moment, saying with some disbelief.

"How could this be?"

"Impossible, something must be wrong."

Many people present didn't believe it.

"Everyone, don't be too sad. In fact, you should have guessed something in your hearts, but you were just deceiving yourselves and unwilling to accept it. Let me ask, what kind of ruins could accumulate so many valuable things? The wealth we saw wasn't just a little bit. How much Eternal Metal was there? It wasn't measured in grams, but in tens of thousands of tons? Do you think that's realistic? If that wealth was real, wouldn't we be richer than Star Ring City? If this place is really the main temple of the Negative God, then it's possible there might be so much wealth, but this isn't the main temple of the Negative God."

Su Mo sighed and comforted them.

Hearing Su Mo's words, everyone's eyes became even dimmer, and they felt indescribably uncomfortable.

"Everyone, don't be too sad. Although there were no discoveries in these ruins, at least it's a satisfactory conclusion."

Seeing that everyone's emotions were so low, Su Mo quickly opened his mouth to comfort them.

Spader sighed and said to Su Mo, "Su Mo, you don't know how much effort we put into this ruin, how much energy and time we wasted, and how many people sacrificed themselves. The result is that we returned empty-handed. To put it bluntly, this is a major strategic setback."

"I understand, but since things have come to this, we can only look forward."

Su Mo sighed and replied.

"That's all we can do. By the way, how did you come to Ceres? Did you come alone?"

Spader suddenly thought of something and asked with doubt.

"Uh, I'm not alone. I came with the main force, but there was a little accident on the way. I got separated from the main force, and it seems I arrived at Ceres first."

Su Mo was slightly startled and quickly explained.

"What about the main force?"

Spader and the others were shocked and quickly asked. If they were having problems here, it would be a real disaster if even the support troops had problems.

"Don't worry, the main force is with the Star Ring City's forces, so they should be fine."

Su Mo said this with no confidence at all.

"That's good."

Spader and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

"What do you plan to do next?"

Su Mo thought for a while and seriously asked Spader.

"Clean up the battlefield. Besides seeing if we can find any spoils of war, we can also collect the bodies of our dead brothers. If there are no special discoveries, we'll prepare to return to Thunderous Base."

Spader made overall plans and arrangements.

"Alright."

Su Mo nodded in response.

......

Ten days later, Su Mo followed Spader and the others all the way west.

In the distant horizon, they saw a very peculiar mountain peak. Lightning and thunder flashed around the entire mountain peak, and dark clouds covered the top.

Any monsters that approached were killed.

"What is this?"

Su Mo asked in the communication channel.

"That giant mountain peak is the Star Ring City's Thunderous Base, but it's disguised on the surface, so you can't normally see it. Moreover, Thunderous Base also uses special climate devices, which cause the climate in its area to become abnormally harsh, constantly producing large-scale thunderstorms to drive away monsters."

Wang Hai explained to Su Mo.

"That's some technology."

Su Mo couldn't help but give a thumbs up. To be stationed on the Negative God Star for a long time, the biggest difficulty is that it will constantly be impacted by monsters.

Even if your defense is strong, it will be difficult in the long run, because this kind of monster impact is like water dripping on a stone.

But this kind of climate device perfectly solves this situation.

Just as Su Mo and the others approached a certain range of Thunderous Base.

They ran head-on into a squadron of IV-generation pure mechanical mechs called Night Watch, each of these Night Watch mechs had the Star Ring City's logo painted on its chest.

If there were no accidents, they should be the outer guards of Thunderous Base.

They stopped everyone.

The leading captain walked out and said proudly, "I am Major Keon, the outer defense captain of Thunderous Base. All of you must undergo identity and physical double checks. Only those who pass the checks are qualified to enter Thunderous Base. And I'll say the ugly things first. Anyone who fails or doesn't cooperate is not qualified to enter Thunderous Base, and no rebuttals will be accepted."

Hearing this, Spader immediately ordered everyone in the communication channel.

"Everyone cooperate and don't cause trouble."

"Yes."

Everyone present responded one after another.

"Not bad, pretty strict."

Su Mo controlled the Radiant Wings and walked forward, preparing to accept the inspection.

When Major Keon saw the Radiant Wings, he instantly controlled his mech to stand upright, bowed to Su Mo, and excitedly greeted him.

"Lord Rogarde! I'll go inform Lord Byrick, the garrison commander of Thunderous Base."

Su Mo was completely stunned. These guys must have made a mistake, right?

"Stop, no need to inform him."

Su Mo's head was getting big.

Wang Hai and the others couldn't help but laugh.

"Lord Rogarde? Is there a problem?"

Major Keon asked with confusion.

"Forget it, just quickly take us to get checked. We need to go in and rest. Don't worry about the rest."

Su Mo replied with a headache.

"Yes, I'll arrange it for you."

Although Major Keon was puzzled, he still unconditionally executed the order.

Not long after, Su Mo and the others entered the outer rest area of Thunderous Fortress, where there was a dedicated inspection team.

Of course, there was also a powerful combat mech squad stationed here.

Twenty-four pseudo-V generation pure mechanical mechs, Phantom Shadows, stood in every corner. Anyone who was crazy enough to make dangerous moves would be greeted by a barrage of attacks.

However, when everyone saw the Radiant Wings, they instantly lost their composure.

They all saluted.
