“Here I also want to heavily criticize someone, and that is Su Mo!”

Mo Bake finally couldn't swallow his anger and said furiously.

Su Mo wasn't surprised at all. With Mo Bake's personality, it would be strange if he could tolerate it. Of course, he didn't intend to indulge Mo Bake, so he responded with a loud voice.

“Report, sir! I don’t understand. Where did I go wrong?”

“You still don’t know where you went wrong? From the beginning of the mission, I emphasized that everything would be according to my command. I asked you to support me immediately, why didn't you support me?”

Mo Bake was so angry that his mouth was twisted when he saw that Su Mo dared to retort.

“Report, sir, I resolutely obeyed your orders... but you ran too fast, and my mech couldn’t catch up.”

Su Mo replied righteously.

Hearing Su Mo's words, Zhao Bo and the others present turned red, they wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

Mo Bake's face turned green. This guy was blatantly mocking him for being a first-class runner. The problem was that he didn't know how to refute it for a while, and finally could only roar in anger.

“You... can’t catch up? Then I will punish you to run ten laps around the hangar. Don’t think about getting off work until you finish!”

Koreyev frowned slightly. He was kidding. How big was the G12 hangar? How long would it take to run ten laps?

In addition, Koreyev actually agreed with Su Mo's behavior. Rushing to rescue him rashly was just suicide. Mo Bake had gone too far.

Normally, Mo Bake, as the captain, should have resisted that second-generation Chiwei (Red Guard) mech by himself.

Moreover, Su Mo saved him afterward. Not only was he not grateful, but he also blamed Su Mo, which was indeed too much. So he said,

“Captain Mo Bake, ten laps is too much. No matter what, it was thanks to Su Mo that we were able to solve that Chiwei mech so smoothly. Three laps is enough.”

“Yes, Captain.”

Everyone said one after another.

Mo Bake became even more embarrassed, and then could only snort angrily and turned to leave.

Koreyev walked up to Su Mo, patted Su Mo on the shoulder, and sighed slightly, “I’m sorry for you, just run three laps.”

“Yes, sir.”

Su Mo saluted.

Then Su Mo left the team and started running around the G12 hangar.

…

It has to be said that the G12 hangar is really big.

After running three laps, Su Mo was already sweating slightly. Fortunately, his running speed was fast, otherwise he would not be able to finish running by noon.

Su Mo took a long breath and walked towards the rest area.

Soon he came to the rest area. This was his first time here. Su Mo originally thought that there should be many people here.

After all, these were all facilities for enjoyment. As a result, the lounge was very deserted, and he couldn't see a few figures at all.

Compared with the training area, this place was almost deserted. From this, it can be seen how self-disciplined the members of the GT department are. There is a reason why they are strong.

Su Mo walked into the shower room, took off his clothes, and stuffed them into the washing and drying machine next to him.

Then he went in and took a shower.

…

A moment later, Su Mo, who had finished his shower, left the rest area. It was now lunch time and time for off-work rest.

People were coming and going in G12 area.

Su Mo, with his hands in his pockets, was about to go to the public cafeteria.

Suddenly, Su Mo was stunned in place. He saw a silver-haired figure passing by in the distance.

Su Mo's heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and he hurriedly squeezed into the crowd to chase after her.

At this time, the crowd was surging.

Su Mo rushed to catch up, but lost track of that figure. He stood calmly in place, looking around.

He couldn't help but muttered in his heart, Where is she? Where is she?

His nerves were tense, and his eyes quickly scanned every area.

At this moment, Su Mo finally found the silver-haired figure again. He saw her walking into elevator No. 7!

Su Mo immediately ran towards elevator No. 7.

"Let me through!"

…

Ding~

The doors of elevator No. 7 slowly closed. The people in the elevator were talking and laughing.

Just as the door was about to close completely, a hand suddenly reached in and grabbed the closing door.

Suddenly the door reopened.

Su Mo, with a face full of joy, appeared at the elevator door. He looked at the silver-haired girl in the elevator.

The smile on his face suddenly froze, and endless disappointment rose in his heart. The silver-haired girl in the elevator was not Qian Chengxue, but the girl Su Mo had mistaken on the street before.

Her clear, sapphire-like eyes looked at the young man who suddenly broke in with surprise, and a hint of curiosity appeared on her elegant and delicate face.

"Hello, are you coming in?"

A man in the elevator saw Su Mo standing at the elevator entrance for a long time without reacting, and asked.

"Sorry."

Su Mo came back to his senses and walked into the elevator awkwardly.

The elevator was crowded, and Su Mo came in last, so he could only stand next to the silver-haired girl.

The silver-haired girl curiously glanced at Su Mo. Su Mo naturally noticed the other person's gaze, and he felt even more unnatural, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long. The elevator doors closed and rose a few floors, and the doors opened.

Many people began to get off the elevator, and Su Mo naturally followed the crowd down.

Soon only the silver-haired girl and a flaxen-haired woman with freckles on her face were left in the elevator.

"Same old trick."

The flaxen-haired woman complained angrily.

"Lan Fen, don't talk nonsense. People didn't flirt, maybe they were just in a hurry."

The silver-haired girl replied with a smile.

"Kalinsha, you are too kind? Let me tell you, you have to be especially careful about this kind of pretty boy. I saw it last time. This guy pretended to mistake someone on the street and patted your shoulder to take advantage of you. Don't think that just because you look handsome, you can use such an old-fashioned way to flirt. This is an old trick of playing hard to get. Who can't see it?"

Lan Fen kept complaining.

"Okay, he didn't do anything."

"This is nothing? Let me tell you, this guy is no different from the other people who are chasing you. He must be hypocritical, or he is ill-intentioned, or at least he is lustful..."

The more Lan Fen complained, the more annoyed she became.

In fact, there was a reason why Lan Fen had such strong hostility towards Su Mo.

She and Su Mo actually had no grudges, but as Kalinsha's best friend, all the men who approached her were all for Kalinsha, and no one came to pursue her.

Over time, inferiority began to take over, and she inexplicably felt very annoyed in her heart, and held strong hostility towards those approaching men.

She was obviously not bad looking, so why didn't anyone like her?

…

Unfortunately, Kalinsha didn't listen to Finland's words at all. For some reason, she became a little interested in Su Mo.

She could feel that both times were coincidences, and the other party was not coming for her. Could this be considered a kind of fate?

"Okay, don't talk about it. Not everyone is so bad."

"Hey, I'm doing this for your own good. If you don't believe it, then let time prove everything."

Finland said unwillingly when she saw that Kalinsha didn't take it to heart.

Kalinsha smiled and said nothing.

At this time, the elevator doors opened, and several handsome men stood at the door, holding flowers in their hands.

They came forward one after another.

"Kalinsha..."

…

It's a pity that Kalinsha didn't pay attention to them, but elegantly bypassed them and walked straight into the core area of the GT department.

…

Inside the main office of the GT department.

Spader was standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the documents on the table.

Knock knock~

"Come in!"

Spader said in a deep voice.

At this time, the door was pushed open, Kalinsha walked in, and she saluted Spader.

"Officer Spader!"

Spader looked at Kalinsha, and the stern look on his face softened a lot, revealing a rare look of kindness.

"When there's no one around, you don't have to be so restrained, just call me uncle."

Kalinsha shook her head and replied, "Rules are rules. You are the leader of the GT department, Uncle, so I should follow the rules even more."

"Well, very good. Are you still adapting to the GT department?"

"It's pretty good."

Kalinsha replied with a smile.

"That's good. I've been thinking about something, and I'm going to hand it over to you, so I can rest assured."

"What's the matter?"

Kalinsha asked with some doubts.

"Come with me."

Spader then led Kalinsha to the metal wall on the right side of the office.

He stretched out his hand and pressed it on the metal wall. Suddenly, dense lines lit up on the metal wall, and then the wall automatically cracked, and a secret door opened.

Spader led Kalinsha in.

Before long, they came to the special creature prison area of the GT department.

Here, there were special metal cages, and each cage was filled with giant biochemical jars. The jars contained most of the different species encountered on Planet Batak.

Kalinsha asked in confusion, "Why are we capturing so many different species? Isn't this increasing the danger to ourselves?"

"For research, you have to remember one thing, there are no absolutely reliable people in this world, not even Star Ring City. We are now just pawns, but we can't be pawns forever. We have to explore the truth of this world ourselves. At the same time, we have to gradually master the power of this world, so we have to try everything. Of course, these things have nothing to do with you, so you don't need to care. I brought you here to see something else."

Spader explained to Kalinsha while leading her inside, and finally stopped in front of a sealed biochemical jar.

Inside the jar was a humanoid corpse sealed. Its tail was white, and its body was covered with spots.

"Isn't this just a mutated human?"

Kalinsha asked in confusion. She didn't understand why her uncle brought her to see this with so much fanfare.

"It's a mutated human, but it has a different meaning. This corpse was found inside the mechs that attacked us this time. We found an inconspicuous ring on it. The ring has a logo on it, and after professional identification, it can be confirmed that the ring is a jewelry brand that once belonged to the Kingdom of Batak."

Spader said lightly.

"Are you saying that the ship that attacked us was a remnant of the mutated humans on Planet Batak?"

Kalinsha replied in surprise.

"That's right, I'm not sure if this is a coincidence or a necessity."

Spader's expression was very serious. It couldn't be blamed on him for being suspicious, but everything was too coincidental. They had just withdrawn from Planet Batak and obtained that thing, and then they were attacked. The attacking monsters also came from Planet Batak.

This made Spader feel very bad. He always felt like he was being targeted by something.

"What do you need me to do?"

Kalinsha quickly regained her composure.

Spader's expression changed for a while and said, "I always feel like something is wrong. We were attacked as soon as we finished our FTL flight. And the attacking monsters also have traces of the Kingdom of Batak. This is too coincidental. I always feel like there is a problem with a certain link."

"Uncle, don't you suspect that there is a problem with the returning personnel? That's unlikely, isn't it? Aren't all returning personnel checked?"

Kalinsha reacted very smartly.

"You're right, normally there's no problem, but it's better to be safe than sorry. But this matter can't be investigated publicly, it will cause panic. You have to know that I hid the infection matter at the beginning, which has already caused dissatisfaction among the lower-level soldiers. If I rehash the old stories now, they will think that I am rejecting..."

Spader also frowned.

"What do you need me to do?"

"I need you to secretly investigate all suspicious personnel. I have a roughly screened list here."

As Spader spoke, he handed a document to Kalinsha.

"Understood."

Kalinsha nodded in response.

She opened the document and looked at the list and photos on it, her expression becoming more and more surprised.

Major General Wang Hang, Combat Commander of the First Army; Major General Moloco, Combat Commander of the Second Army; Major General Mai Han, Combat Commander of the Third Army...

This list included commanders and soldiers, totaling more than a hundred people.

Among them, Kalinsha also saw a familiar face.

Su Mo's name and photo were also on the list, and the suspicious points were also written very clearly.

Originally an external consultant, he participated in the Thief Plan operation and returned. He suddenly chose to join the GT department and passed the assessment with excellent results. His purpose is unknown.

Seeing this reason, Kalinsha's heart rippled a little. This person named Su Mo, could it be that he really joined the GT department to chase her?

…

"Kalinsha."

Spader suddenly called out.

"Yes."

Kalinsha came back to her senses and quickly responded.

"This mission is very difficult to investigate, and the task is also very arduous, but you must complete it as soon as possible."

"Uncle, I'm afraid my energy is limited alone. Can I find some helpers?"

"Yes, you can choose the people yourself, but the premise is that you must confirm that they are not a problem. Also, when investigating, it is best to find a guise, and do not investigate directly."

Spader instructed.

"I will."

Kalinsha replied calmly.

…

In the dormitory at night, Su Mo was holding a pen and writing a self-criticism.

His mood was unusually impetuous, and he couldn't write anymore. During the day, he thought that the figure was Qian Chengxue, but he was disappointed.

Su Mo sighed and scratched his head. This GT department was much bigger than he thought, and there were many places that he couldn't enter.

It didn't seem appropriate to find someone based on luck alone. It seemed that he had to find someone to inquire about Qian Chengxue's whereabouts.

Thinking of this, Su Mo didn't know where to start. He didn't know many people in the entire GT department. The people he knew were limited to the members of his team, and the highest level was Mo Bake.

In fact, asking Mo Bake was the best choice at present, but he had already offended him, so there was no point in asking.

Thinking of this, Su Mo became more and more irritable.

The next day, Su Mo went to G12 area in a spiritless mood. He had rarely suffered from insomnia last night.

It wasn't just Su Mo who suffered from insomnia. In fact, almost all the members of their entire team didn't have a comfortable night last night, and they were all writing self-criticisms.

Koreyev collected the self-criticisms one by one, and then said to everyone.

"Dismissed."

"Ah, dismissed? No training today? Didn't Captain Mo Bake say that he would give us a lecture today?"

Everyone asked in surprise.

Koreyev waved his hand and said, "Today is Sunday, we're off. Captain Mo Bake didn't come either. What are you doing here?"

"Yay, Vice-Captain Koreyev, you're the best."

Everyone cheered. They originally thought that today's holiday was gone.

Then everyone dispersed.

Just as Koreyev was about to leave, Su Mo quickly chased after him and called out.

"Officer Koreyev."

Koreyev stopped, turned his head to look at Su Mo, and asked in confusion, "Su Mo, what's the matter?"

"Officer Koreyev, I want to ask you about someone."

"Who?"

"Do you know someone named Qian Chengxue? She's also in the GT department."

Su Mo asked with a try-it-and-see mentality.

Koreyev frowned slightly, thought for a while and replied, "I don't know about that. There are tens of thousands of people in the GT department from top to bottom. It's impossible to know everyone. Also, the information of employees in different areas is independent, and the information of some personnel is still confidential. It's basically difficult to find someone with just a name."

"I see, thank you, sir."

"But it's not completely impossible. Try to find the GT department staff who are responsible for archives and document management. It's relatively easier for them to find people. Of course, you have to be careful. When asking others for help, be sure to explain clearly so that others don't think you have ulterior motives."

Koreyev kindly gave Su Mo some advice.

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Su Mo replied quickly.

Koreyev didn't say much and turned to leave.

Su Mo took a deep breath and walked towards the training area. Although he was on vacation today, Su Mo was not in the mood for a vacation at all, so he might as well go to the training area to vent his energy.

Soon he came to the training area, which was still so lively.

Su Mo stopped when he passed a boxing machine. He put on his gloves and punched the machine to vent some of the displeasure in his heart.

Bang!

Instantly, the machine's value exploded and made a special prompt sound.

Su Mo immediately came back to his senses and quickly blocked the machine's display screen with his body. He hadn't controlled himself well for a while.

Wow~

A sound of surprise came from behind, accompanied by the sound of something falling.

Su Mo turned his head to look over and was also stunned. He saw the silver-haired girl standing together behind him, and the files she was holding in her hands were scattered all over the ground.

It seemed that she was just passing by and was frightened by this scene. Her delicate face was full of disbelief.

When Su Mo saw that it was the silver-haired girl, he felt a little apologetic because of the two previous misunderstandings, so he squatted down to help pick up the files.

Soon the files scattered on the ground were picked up. Su Mo handed the file bag in his hand to Kalinsha and said,

"Here you are."

"Thank you, you are so strong."

Kalinsha took the file and praised with a smile.

"Cough cough, the machine malfunctioned."

Su Mo explained a little embarrassedly.

"Really? I think the probability of the instrument malfunctioning is still very low."

Kalinsha replied with a smile.

"Uh..."

Su Mo didn't know how to explain and answer, and his expression was a bit embarrassed.

Kalinsha saw Su Mo's expression and laughed out loud.

"Don't be so nervous. Let me introduce myself, my name is Kalinsha, what's yours?"

"Cough cough, my name is Su Mo."

"Su Mo, that's a nice name."

"Thank you."

"Then I'll go first. I'll talk to you when I have the chance. I have to send the documents to be classified."

Kalinsha smiled and said goodbye to Su Mo, and turned to leave.

Su Mo looked at the files in Kalinsha's hand, and suddenly thought of something, he quickly called out.

"Kalinsha, wait a minute."

"Hmm? Is there something wrong?"

Kalinsha stopped and looked at Su Mo in confusion.

"Well, can I treat you to a meal?"

Su Mo said anxiously. His heart was also pounding up and down. In fact, he remembered Koreyev's words. If he wanted to find someone, it would be best to ask those clerical staff for help. Kalinsha didn't look like a combatant at all, and she was holding a file bag in her hand. She was most likely a clerical staff member.

It would be good to ask for help, but he was not familiar with Kalinsha, so the possibility of being rejected directly was very high.

Why not just treat her to a meal and then make the request little by little?

After all, there is a saying that goes, "He who eats of a man's food will be soft, and he who takes of a man's gifts will be short."

Kalinsha was also very surprised to hear Su Mo's invitation. She didn't expect Su Mo to have more courage than she thought.

"No! I object!"

At this moment, a sudden voice sounded.

Lan Fen was seen walking over, carrying a large stack of file bags, swaying. She gritted her teeth and replied.

"Who is this?"

Su Mo looked at Lan Fen in confusion.

"Oh, this is my best friend, Lan Fen. Lan Fen, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Su Mo."

Kalinsha said with a smile.

"No need to introduce, I'm not interested. Kalinsha, I told you yesterday that this kid must be ill-intentioned, you didn't believe me, do you believe me now? He came up and asked you to dinner."

Lan Fen said unceremoniously.

Su Mo looked embarrassed, but he couldn't refute it. He was indeed a bit abrupt.

However, something unexpected to Su Mo happened. Kalinsha said, "Don't say that, Mr. Su Mo's invitation is also a kindness. I happen to have nothing to do at noon today, why don't you join us, Lan Fen?"

Lan Fen's eyes widened.

"Kalinsha, you're not kidding, you're really going to dinner?"

"Yes."

Kalinsha replied generously.

Su Mo was also very surprised. He originally didn't have much hope, and with her best friend objecting so strongly, he was ready to give up, but he didn't expect it to actually work.

So Su Mo said, "Then it's settled, let's have lunch together. I'll help you move the documents."

As he said that, Su Mo subconsciously reached out to help take the file bag in Kalinsha's hand.

"Hey, I have so many here, you don't help me, that's too much... You wait, I'll eat you broke at noon."

Lan Fen was so angry that she was a little incoherent.

"Sorry, sorry, then I'll help you move some too."

Su Mo came back to his senses and said quickly.

"No need, you have no sincerity at all."

As she said that, Lan Fen carried the file bags herself and walked forward angrily.

Kalinsha chuckled, "Don't mind, Lan Fen is just that kind of person. Once you get to know her, you'll know that she's actually a very good person."

"Uh, okay."

Su Mo replied awkwardly.
