However, just as Su Mo was walking forward, he suddenly stopped. With his bare feet, he gently swept away the dust on the ground.

He squinted at the ground, noticing old bloodstains that led in one direction.

Su Mo followed the bloodstains until he reached the end of the corridor, where a room stood with its door tightly shut.

The bloodstains pointed toward this room.

Su Mo reached out and turned the doorknob. Unexpectedly, it wasn't locked from the inside. But that was normal; locks made no difference to the monsters.

He gripped his dagger, gently pushed open the door, and stepped inside.

Su Mo was slightly taken aback. It was a data room. At the front of the room was a large computer.

A skeleton clad in light-blue, full-body mechanical armor was slumped over it, a gleaming titanium blade still clutched in its hand.

Su Mo slowly closed the door. He carefully examined the room, making sure there were no threats.

"Phew!"

Su Mo let out a long breath. He walked up to the skeleton, carefully examined it, then gave a slight bow of respect.

Afterward, he cautiously began to remove the full set of mechanical armor. Soon, a shriveled corpse in a military uniform was exposed. As he removed the armor, a very special and ornate key fell to the ground.

Su Mo bent down and picked it up. It was a unique key with a string of letters and numbers on the back, indicating it was something important.

Judging from the dead body's clothes and equipment, the person's rank must have been high. Since the key was carried so closely, it was definitely important.

Su Mo respectfully laid the body flat on the ground.

Then he deftly cleaned the mechanical armor. Without hesitation, he put it on.

He found a hole in the abdomen, which must have been where the fatal wound was inflicted.

Click!

The mechanical armor automatically adjusted to his size, covering Su Mo's body completely. At the same time, a virtual image interface appeared before his eyes.

Prompt: ii-generation Powered Mechanical Armor &

Seeing the prompt, Su Mo's eyelids twitched. He seemed to have found a treasure. It was a second-generation mechanical armor. He would have been happy with just a first-generation.

Su Mo tried moving around, as it was his first time wearing this kind of powered mechanical armor, and he didn't know how effective it would be.

He threw a punch at the air, and it actually produced a cracking sound. The power was greatly enhanced!

Su Mo then tried moving around, and his speed also increased significantly, without any discomfort.

Su Mo took a deep breath. If he had had this equipment back then, he wouldn't have had to risk his life using skills to defeat York; he could have taken him head-on.

Soon, Su Mo calmed down. He began to examine other things in the room, starting with the computer.

The corpse had been slumped over it, so it was clear that something had been left behind.

He tried pressing the power button, but nothing happened. But that was normal; it was probably out of power.

However, such bases usually had backup power. So Su Mo searched the room and found the backup power switch on the side wall.

Then he checked to see if the room lights were off. Just to be safe, he checked every room and removed all the light bulbs along the way.

After that, he found a curtain and covered the computer.

Finally, he stepped forward and tried to flip the switch.

Click!

The dim room lit up with a few red dots.

Su Mo tried pressing the computer button again.

The dormant computer turned on automatically.

Su Mo suppressed his rumbling stomach and walked toward the computer. Technical and intelligence information in this game was extremely valuable. The fact that it could be taken out was enough to show that. It wasn't always possible to be so lucky and have the opportunity to find it.

Su Mo came to the computer and took a look. Although the computer was locked, that didn't stump him. He cracked the simple password lock in a matter of minutes. After rebooting, an unfinished computer log automatically popped up.

He looked at it carefully.

February 3rd, the battleship Helan returned to Red Coral Bay Base with battle damage, docked at White Crane Port, and underwent emergency repairs.

February 16th, the main structure of the damaged battleship was repaired. I look forward to returning to the battlefield.

February 22nd, the battleship's power system maintenance was completed. I'm one step closer to returning to the battlefield. The brothers on the front lines are waiting for me.

February 25th, the battleship began reloading ammunition.

February 26th, a large-scale infection suddenly broke out in the base. More than half of the personnel were infected. The infected became delirious, started talking nonsense, and eventually lost their reason. We checked the food and water but found no source of infection.

February 27th, we concentrated all the infected people in a dormitory building and sealed all the exits.

March 2nd, late at night, we were attacked. Countless mutated Kazami rushed into the base like madmen. They poured in from the nearby mountains, the sea, and the roads. Red Coral Bay Base is finished, completely finished. Former comrades fell one by one, then became parasitized, and eventually turned into puppets, and I was powerless to do anything...

Su Mo was stunned when he saw the log end there.

He was silent for a while, then closed the log. He searched the computer but found no important information. There were only some crew identity files and mission logs, which explained why only such a simple password lock was set.

Su Mo turned off the computer and looked around. Then he saw a yellowed map on the wall, with a large white frame next to it. Logically, there should have been another map there, but there was nothing. He walked closer and took a look.

He was slightly taken aback. Wasn't this the base map? Because the light was too dim before, he couldn't see the contents clearly, so he hadn't paid much attention to it.

Without saying a word, Su Mo stepped forward and took down the map. Then he opened his wristband, clicked on video recording, and completely recorded the map.

Afterward, Su Mo began to study the map.

He quickly found the location of the cafeteria, which wasn't far from him. Next to the cafeteria was a small warehouse, labeled as a survival supplies depot.

Without saying a word, Su Mo circled the survival supplies depot. It definitely had what he wanted.

What's done is done. Su Mo folded the map and stuffed it inside his chest, turned off the backup power switch in the room. He quietly walked out of the room and closed the door again.

At this time, a prompt popped up in front of Su Mo.

Night vision mode activated!
