Chapter 143 Chaos

Su Mo led Qian Chengxue and the others forward, ignoring the bewildered people around them.

Suddenly, Qian Chengxue stopped.

"What's wrong?"

Su Mo turned his head to look at Qian Chengxue and asked.

"Su Mo, take Zhao Han and the others ahead first. Sun Li and I are going back to the residential area. We still have many people in the rooms, and I need to quickly notify Big Brother Lin Hai and the others to evacuate as well."

Qian Chengxue replied, regaining her composure.

"I'll go."

Su Mo still didn't want Qian Chengxue to run back.

However, Qian Chengxue shook her head and said to Su Mo, "Trust me, I can do it. You take these many sisters with you first."

"Okay, then be careful!"

Seeing Qian Chengxue's firm attitude, Su Mo didn't say anything more. She had her own pride.

"Okay, I'm counting on you here."

Qian Chengxue took a step forward, reached out, and hugged Su Mo.

Then, Qian Chengxue turned around with Sun Li and over a hundred others and ran back.

Su Mo took a deep breath, squatted down, and called out to Zhao Han and the others, "Stay close to me, we're speeding up."

"Okay."

Zhao Han and the others responded one after another.

Su Mo led them all the way forward, passing by fallen and shattered decorations everywhere.

At that moment, boom!

The Blue Whale shook violently again, and Su Mo and the others were somewhat unsteady on their feet.

The girls behind him all looked terrified.

"Don't panic, the floating grid elevator is just ahead."

Su Mo tried his best to reassure them.

However, when Su Mo and the others ran over, they were immediately dumbfounded. The entire floating grid elevator area was packed with people.

"Let me in."

"Don't push me."

"Damn it!"

"Go to hell!"

"Waaah~~"

...

Many people were fighting over the floating elevators.

In fact, not everyone was stupid. Most of the people who could ride on this Blue Whale were wealthy or influential. As soon as the Blue Whale was attacked, they immediately sensed extreme danger and prepared to take refuge.

As for the Blue Whale's broadcast announcement about an interstellar pirate attack, they didn't believe it at all.

Only some idiots and simple-minded people would believe it.

At this moment, with a loud boom, the Blue Whale was attacked again, and the ship shook violently.

The panic on the scene was instantly ignited.

"Get out of the way, I want to get in."

.....

"How can we get in? What do we do?"

Sun Li also hadn't anticipated this situation.

Su Mo scanned the area and decisively said, "Follow me, we'll take the emergency exit. Don't waste time here with them. Sisters with more strength, carry the injured sisters on your backs."

"Okay!"

Zhao Han and the others carried the injured sisters on their backs and followed.

Su Mo led them toward the emergency exit. The Fabricator·Devourer presented the surrounding ship structure diagrams in Su Mo's mind.

Su Mo accurately determined the best escape route.

From the prompts given by the Fabricator·Devourer, it could be seen that many emergency exits were also congested.

And the situation was getting worse!

Many passengers were seeing the fierce battle outside through the observation deck and external projection capture devices. Coupled with the ship being constantly attacked, who wouldn't know what was going on?

They all started fleeing towards the hangar.

......

On the other side, Qian Chengxue led Sun Li and the others back to the residential area.

She instructed one of the sisters to notify Lin Hai, then led the others toward their living quarters.

But as soon as they arrived, they were dumbfounded. Sisters were lying on the ground everywhere. One look and you could tell they were seriously injured, some even unconscious.

The sisters who were lucky enough to be unharmed were enduring the fear and taking care of the injured.

At this time, they saw Qian Chengxue return and shouted with red eyes.

"Sister Xue."

Qian Chengxue immediately said to the frightened sisters present, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

"Yeah."

Hearing Qian Chengxue's comforting words, the crowd's fear was immediately eased to some extent.

"Sun Li, help all the injured sisters up, we need to leave here quickly!"

"Okay."

Sun Li quickly called people to help, while she herself carried an unconscious sister on her back.

Just then, the Blue Whale's broadcast rang out again.

"Passengers, this is Wake, Captain of the Blue Whale. I'm very sorry to inform everyone that we've been ambushed by interstellar pirates. The Blue Whale's energy shield has been breached, and the situation is very critical. I'm now opening all the Blue Whale's exits to allow everyone to escape. The Blue Whale and all the combat personnel of the Gaja Republic will stay and fight to the death, to maximize the chance for everyone to escape."

As soon as this broadcast came out, the already unstable passengers went even more insane.

Fearful expressions appeared on their faces. The Blue Whale was about to be breached. Wouldn't they become prisoners then?

Thinking of those barbaric interstellar pirates, everyone was so frightened that they were incoherent.

"Run!"

"It's over."

...

In an instant, the entire internal order of the Blue Whale collapsed.

Qian Chengxue, who was organizing the rescue, also suddenly looked up. Although she knew the situation was very critical, she never thought that it would come to this so quickly.

The Blue Whale was broadcasting an escape announcement.

"Sister Xue, what do we do now?"

Sun Li's face was also gradually turning terrified. This was her first time encountering something like this.

"Don't panic, we're leaving. We'll be fine once we get to the hangar. We have our own ship."

Qian Chengxue calmly reassured everyone. She knew very well that the more critical the situation, the more she couldn't lose her composure.

"Okay, okay."

The sisters present quickly picked up their pace.

Soon they helped up the injured sisters, and Qian Chengxue led them toward the floating elevator.

Just then, a series of violent tremors occurred, and the lights overhead shattered on a large scale, sending sparks flying.

"Ah~~"

The crowd also screamed in panic.

"Everyone, don't be afraid, stay calm."

Qian Chengxue grabbed the wall to steady herself and shouted loudly.

At this time, the area broadcast was also constantly sounding an ear-piercing alarm. It was obvious that the enemy's attack had directly hit the ship's armor.

When the shaking subsided slightly.

Qian Chengxue turned to look at the many sisters and asked, "Are you all okay?"

"We're okay, Sister Xue."

...

"Then let's go, the floating elevator is not far ahead, everyone hang in there."

Qian Chengxue encouraged everyone as she led them forward.

Before long, Qian Chengxue and the others reached the nearest floating elevator. They happily stepped inside and pressed the switch button hard, but they were immediately dumbfounded.

The elevator doors didn't open at all, obviously damaged in the shaking.

"This one won't open."

"This one won't open either."

...

The voices of the sisters present were filled with a hint of crying.

Qian Chengxue looked at it and said, "Take the emergency exit."

"But it's so far? We have so many injured sisters."

"We have to go even if it's far. We'll go a distance first, and then see if there are any intact floating elevators nearby. We can't just wait here. We have to hurry to the hangar and meet up with Su Mo. The announcement of the great escape has been made, and it's estimated that ships will be escaping soon. The opportunity to escape is limited, we can't miss it."

Qian Chengxue made a very decisive decision.

"Okay, Sister Xue."

......

Inside the Blue Whale's command room.

Wake looked at the damage warning boxes that kept popping up on the virtual screen.

His face was getting more and more ugly, and his hands were showing signs of slight trembling.

Looking at the overwhelming number of enemies attacking, a hint of ruthlessness and hatred flashed in his eyes. He turned to Mu Yu and said.

"General Mu Yu, judging from this situation, the Blue Whale is unlikely to be saved. I can't afford the responsibility for the Blue Whale's fall. If the Blue Whale and the materials on it fall into the hands of the Imperial Army, I can't afford this responsibility even more. So I decided to fight to the end! If it really comes to the point where we can't hold on, we'll go down in flames together! The Imperial Army will never get any benefit!"

The other officers present, upon hearing Wake's words, did not show any fear or panic.

Instead, they all excitedly echoed.

"That's right, we'd rather go down in flames than give them a chance!"

In fact, the hatred between the countries of the alliance and the Imperial Army over the years is not just a little bit. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's a blood feud.

Even a powerful entity like the Federation has been targeted by the Imperial Army, not to mention a weaker country like them.

If it weren't for the restraints of Star Ring City and the need for survival, they would have launched a full-scale war with them long ago.

After listening to Wake's words, Mu Yu's old face twitched non-stop. He finally croaked in reply.

"I will personally lead the resistance. If we reach a point where it's impossible to hold on, then blow up the Blue Whale! Gaja is proud of you!"

With that, Mu Yu saluted Wake, then left with his men.

After Mu Yu left, Wake took a deep breath and issued an order: "Send my order, command the special task force to install bombs in the Blue Whale's ammunition depot, power room, and other 180 areas!"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded.

Wake's eyes were very calm. He wasn't just going to have the Blue Whale self-destruct. He also wanted to blow up everything on the ship, ensuring that the Imperial Army wouldn't get any advantage.

After all, this batch of supplies was originally for the front lines. If the supplies were gone, the front lines would be strained. If the Imperial Army got their hands on this batch of supplies, it would be like adding wings to a tiger.

That would be a catastrophic consequence that he, Wake, couldn't afford to bear.

As for escaping, Wake had never even considered it. As the captain of the Blue Whale, he would never leave, even in death.

......

Blue Whale's safety emergency exit.

Su Mo led the many sisters forward, when suddenly the path ahead was blocked.

Several hundred people were fighting to enter an escape door, each unwilling to give way, and a fight broke out.

"Get out of the way, you bunch of lunatics."

"I won't let you, we'll all die together today."

......

Seeing this scene, Su Mo couldn't help but mutter in a low voice.

"A bunch of idiots, still fighting here."

Zhao Han asked, "Su Mo, what do we do now? These people won't let us through."

Su Mo took a deep breath, and the Sin Overlord armor instantly covered his entire body.

"Fight our way through!"

Su Mo didn't have time to waste with them. The Blue Whale was about to be finished. Even if he was strong, he wouldn't be able to protect so many people.

After speaking, Su Mo took the lead and charged forward, regardless of who was in the way, directly knocking them down with a punch.

However, Su Mo still controlled his strength and didn't kill anyone.

"Let's go too!"

Seeing this, Zhao Han didn't hesitate at all and took the lead to charge forward.

The passengers blocking the way hadn't even reacted, and they were knocked down one by one.

"Who are you? How dare you hit us! Do you know..."

A richly dressed young man, with an angry expression on his face, looked at Su Mo and the others charging over and shouted angrily.

Su Mo raised his fist and punched the other party in the face, knocking him to the ground and stepping directly over him.

"Idiot."

Su Mo was too lazy to complain.

Before long, Su Mo and the others successfully reached the elevator platform area.

However, after arriving here, Zhao Han and the others were dumbfounded. The elevator platform was crowded with panicked people.

The elevator platform was sending wave after wave of passengers down.

Looking at so many escaping passengers, Su Mo was secretly surprised. He thought he had reacted quickly to the crisis, but he didn't expect so many people to have arrived here before him.

"Let's go up!"

Su Mo quickly locked onto a nearby rising platform and led Zhao Han and the others over.

Before long, Su Mo and the others smoothly reached the Blue Whale's massive hangar in its abdomen.

However, after coming down, before Su Mo and the others could even catch their breath, they were shocked by what they saw.

The entire hangar was a chaotic mess.

All the regular personnel of the Gaja Republic had gone to fight, so there was no one to direct traffic.

Of course, at this time, no one would listen to directions anyway.

The emotion of fear weighed on everyone, and no one knew when the Blue Whale would be captured.

Therefore, everyone wanted to be the first to leave.

Although the Blue Whale had opened all the exits, no matter how many exits there were, it couldn't withstand the mad rush of ships.

As a result, several exits were directly blocked, and even several ships collided and became stranded, blocking the exits.

"Su Mo, when are we leaving?"

Zhao Han and the others spoke somewhat nervously.

"Don't worry, we'll wait for Qian Chengxue and the others to come. The ships that leave first aren't necessarily the best. The first wave of ships will definitely be attacked first, and it's estimated that few will be able to escape. The second wave will be slightly better, and the third wave will be the best opportunity to escape, with the highest survival rate. The survival rate for those escaping later will drop sharply, so we just need to follow the main force and rush out during the third wave."

Su Mo analyzed very rationally.

Of course, in fact, it was as Su Mo said. Not a single one of the first batch of ships that rushed out escaped.

They were all sunk!

"Then let's get on the transport ship and prepare."

Zhao Han said.

"No, we can't get on the transport ship, get on the frigate."

Su Mo thought for a moment and directly rejected the proposal.

"Ah? Not on the transport ship, but our goods are all on the transport ship."

Zhao Han and the other sisters were immediately anxious.

"Why are you still worrying about those goods? Survival is the most important thing now. It's already difficult enough to break through. The transport ship is carrying so many goods and is so slow that it'll be caught up in minutes. Also, the reason why the other party came to attack the Blue Whale is most likely for the supplies. Do you think they'll let the transport ship escape?"

Su Mo analyzed calmly.

"But."

Of course, Zhao Han understood that what Su Mo said was right, but when it came down to it, how could they really give up?

"There's no 'but'. If you don't believe me, look at the others."

Su Mo replied calmly.

Zhao Han and the others looked at the other escaping people.

It was indeed as Su Mo said. Many people were fleeing to the frigates. Although many people were reluctant and crying, they were still dragged onto the frigates by their relatives and friends.

"Forget the goods, survival is the most important thing!"

"No, that's my life savings!"

"As long as we're alive, we can always make more money!"

......

However, there were also many people who were determined to die and headed towards the transport ships.

"If this batch of goods sinks, we won't live either. Either we die together, or we rush out together!"

"That's right, let's fight them! If these goods are gone, what's the point of us living?"

......

The Blue Whale carried goods from five civilizations, the quantity of which was staggering. This was how much money so many people had risked their lives to collect.

Under normal circumstances, the insurance company would compensate for the loss of goods.

But if the amount of damage was outrageous, the insurance company would also go bankrupt.

No one expected the insurance company to be able to afford it.

Zhao Han and the others could only helplessly grit their teeth and say to Su Mo, "We understand."

"Okay! Then you guys get on the ship first."

Su Mo nodded in response.

"Okay! Sisters, follow me."

Zhao Han immediately led the others towards the ship's safe entry channel.

At this time, Lin Xiaoyu, who was beside him, also said.

"Then I'll go get my mecha out first."

"Okay, go ahead."

Su Mo watched Lin Xiaoyu leave.

Then he walked towards the elevator platform not far away. He was a little worried about Qian Chengxue's side, hoping nothing went wrong.

Soon, time passed bit by bit

Batch after batch of fleeing passengers swarmed down from the elevator platform.

Su Mo kept looking out, wanting to find Qian Chengxue and the others.

But after waiting for a long time, he still didn't see them. On the contrary, the Blue Whale's shaking became more and more violent, and the deafening explosions became more and more frequent.

The feeling of panic grew worse.

Just then, the entire hangar suddenly shook violently, and Su Mo almost fell.

At this time, a transport ship exploded in the distance.

The terrifying shockwave directly affected dozens of ships around it, and tens of thousands of people died on the spot. The steel frame structure on the roof of the hangar also crashed down.

Many of the fleeing personnel screamed in terror when they saw this scene.

Su Mo's expression was also a bit gloomy. It was obvious that the transport ship was carrying ammunition. It must have been affected by the shockwave and collided with other ships. The internal anti-impact protection wasn't good enough, and it exploded.

And to make matters worse, the area where the ship exploded was also the only way to the main exit.

Su Mo picked up his phone and glanced at the time. His expression became even more gloomy. So much time had passed, and Qian Chengxue and the others still hadn't arrived.

He wanted to call Qian Chengxue, but there was no signal at all.

The damage to the Blue Whale was getting worse and worse, and many of the internal devices were malfunctioning.

Just as Su Mo was feeling anxious, another wave of elevator platforms landed, and crowds of refugees swarmed down from above.

At this time, Su Mo saw a somewhat familiar figure, and he was slightly stunned.

"Mr. Arles!"

"Hello."

Arles turned his head when he heard someone calling him. When he saw that it was Su Mo, a hint of surprise appeared on his calm expression, but it quickly returned to normal.

Su Mo saw that Arles didn't have any subordinates beside him, and seemed to be alone.

So he invited, "Mr. Arles, are you also escaping? If you don't have anywhere to go, why don't you join us?"

A slight smile appeared on Arles' elegant face.

But before Arles could answer Su Mo, a steady and somewhat familiar voice sounded.

"Lord Arles, we should go."

Su Mo subconsciously turned his head to look over.

A handsome blond man wearing a V-generation armor, golden earrings on his ears, and a handsome face, was respectfully saluting Arles.

"Glori!"

Su Mo said in surprise, he didn't expect to meet an acquaintance here.

Glori turned his head to look at Su Mo, his eyes also slightly surprised. He politely nodded slightly to Su Mo.

Arles elegantly said to Su Mo: "Thank you very much for your invitation, but it's not necessary for now, someone is here to pick me up. We'll go ahead, and wish you all the best as well."

"Thank you."

Su Mo responded politely.

Arles then turned and left with Glori, and as he left, he glanced at Su Mo out of the corner of his eye.

Before long, Arles and Glori arrived at a private, enclosed mecha parking area in the corner of the hangar.

Glori put his hand on the identifier!

Tick~

Click!

The independent closed door opened automatically.

A 60-meter-tall, dark metal structure with dark patterns all over it, the exterior design is very unique, the whole body looks like wearing a very cool armor, with twelve pairs of black mechanical rib wings embedded in the back, and a dark green particle light blade on the waist, looks very restrained.

If someone who knows about mecha saw this mecha, they would definitely be completely shocked.

Because this mecha is the pure mechanical pseudo-V-generation mecha·Shadow, which is best at speed and stealth.

"Lord Arles, I will **** you to the front line now."

Glori said respectfully.

"Not in a hurry."

Arles rarely rejected it.

"Yes."

Although Glori was very surprised, he didn't ask any questions or say anything unnecessary, he just obeyed without hesitation.

......

On the other side, inside the emergency exit.

Qian Chengxue carried an injured sister on her back and led the others forward.

But as they ran forward!

Boom!

The Blue Whale shook violently, and Sun Li and the others fell heavily to the ground.

After stabilizing, Qian Chengxue calmly asked, "Are you all okay?"

"We're okay, Sister Xue."

Sun Li and the others replied in pain.

"Hang in there, after that opening ahead, we should be able to take the floating elevator."

Just then, with a loud boom, the entire front of the emergency exit collapsed, directly blocking the entrance.

When Sun Li and the others saw this scene, they were all dumbfounded, and they asked in a loss.

"Sister Xue, what do we do? We finally made it here."

"Detour!"

Qian Chengxue had no other choice.

"But if we do this, will we not be able to meet up with Su Mo and the others in time? Time is getting tighter and tighter, we've delayed for too long."

Sun Li looked at the time and said, and judging from the frequency of the Blue Whale's shaking and the sound of explosions, the Blue Whale was estimated to be captured soon.

"It's okay."

Although Qian Chengxue was also very unsure in her heart, she still maintained her composure. If she panicked, then others would panic even more.

......

Inside the hangar, Su Mo's expression was getting more and more tense. Qian Chengxue and the others hadn't arrived yet.

In fact, now was the best time to break through, and the third batch of ships were swarming to escape.

At this time, Zi Qing ran over and said anxiously to Su Mo: "We are almost ready, we can leave at any time, have Sister Xue and the others arrived?"

"Not yet, wait a little longer."

Su Mo replied calmly.

PS: Sorry, let me be lazy for another day, I will definitely resume adding updates tomorrow (*^▽^*).
