Su Mo accepted it without hesitation and drained it.

Soon, several rounds of drinks had been exchanged.

Sun Duoxiang's face was flushed, and the wine glass in his hand was shaking, clearly indicating he had too much to drink.

In contrast, Su Mo's cheeks were only slightly flushed, and he seemed unaffected.

"If you can't drink anymore, let's stop here."

"No, no, Brother, I can still drink. I'm so happy to see you today. We won't go home until we're drunk."

"Alright, enough is enough. By the way, how are Zhang Hao, Mark, and Lan Xi?"

Su Mo raised his glass to his lips but suddenly paused, asking.

"Boss, don't worry. I, Sun Duoxiang, have always been loyal. If I have a bite to eat, they'll have a share. I keep them all by my side. It's just that..."

Sun Duoxiang patted his chest, speaking righteously. But when he got to the end, he suddenly stopped.

"Just what?"

Su Mo frowned slightly.

"It's just that Lan Xi, she left on her own later."

Sun Duoxiang said with a somewhat dim expression.

"Oh."

Su Mo took a sip of his wine and responded casually.

"Boss, there are some things I don't know if I should say."

Sun Duoxiang suddenly raised his head and said.

"Go ahead, what can't we talk about?"

Su Mo slowly put down his glass and replied.

Sun Duoxiang took a deep breath, sighing.

"Actually, Boss, Lan Xi likes..."

"Stop! Don't say it."

Su Mo immediately raised his hand to stop Sun Duoxiang halfway through.

"Ah! Boss, you knew?"

Sun Duoxiang was also shocked, so Su Mo knew.

Su Mo picked up his glass, slowly poured himself a drink, and drained it.

"Ah, some things are better left unknown."

Su Mo had had little contact with people since he was a child and entered society relatively late. But that didn't mean he didn't understand anything, he just deliberately chose not to think about it.

"Ah."

After hearing Su Mo's reply, Sun Duoxiang lowered his head helplessly and sighed softly.

"Alright, let's stop drinking here for today. I'm leaving first."

Su Mo said, feigning a drunken stupor.

"Boss, I'll see you off."

Sun Duoxiang quickly got up to send Su Mo off.

"No need, be careful on your way back."

Su Mo waved his hand without looking back.

Sun Duoxiang stood there blankly, watching Su Mo leave.

"Ah."

----------------------------

The next day, Su Mo walked towards the G12 District hangar assembly point with his hands in his pockets, adjusting his mood.

From afar, he saw Mo Bake with a face as if someone owed him eight million. His heart couldn't help but skip a beat, thinking that today wouldn't be a good day either.

Thinking of this, Su Mo reluctantly braced himself and walked over.

When Mo Bake saw Su Mo approaching, he was immediately furious, ready to settle the score with him again.

Just then, Ke Liefu, who was beside him, grabbed Mo Bake, coughed, and whispered to Ke Liefu, "Captain, I'm telling you, you'd better not get angry with Su Mo again."

"Why?"

"Have you forgotten? Su Mo is about to become a substitute member, which in a sense means he's your superior."

"Uh."

Mo Bake's face, which had been full of anger, suddenly froze, and then his eyes widened.

At this time, Su Mo walked over, already prepared to be scolded.

As a result, Mo Bake suddenly made a 180-degree turn, revealing a warm expression, and asked Su Mo with concern, "Su Mo, you're here."

"Huh?"

When Su Mo heard Mo Bake's flattering voice, goosebumps rose all over his body, and he looked at Mo Bake as if he had seen a ghost.

"Uh, Commander Mo Bake, you're not angry anymore?"

"Angry about what? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"Didn't I wreck the mecha I borrowed from you?"

"Look at what you're saying, it's just a mecha, and it's already being repaired. Besides, it's an honor for that mecha to be piloted by you. Don't mention being damaged, even if it's destroyed, it's its blessing."

Mo Bake flattered Su Mo with a smile on his face, changing his expression faster than flipping a book.

"Are you kidding me?"

"What kidding? Don't stand there, you'll get tired. I'll find you a chair to sit on."

Mo Bake replied enthusiastically.

"No need."

"How can you not need one? Actually, you don't have to come to this kind of training camp at all in the future. You're so strong, it's the same whether you train or not."

"Commander Mo Bake, you're killing me with praise."

"What praise? I'm speaking from the bottom of my heart. Compared to you, I'm like the bright moon and an ant on the ground. Why don't you, Su Mo, become the instructor, and we'll listen to your guidance."

Mo Bake tried his best to lick Su Mo, saying the most nauseating things he could.

Su Mo looked at the unusual Mo Bake and asked uneasily, "Commander Mo Bake, you're not trying to mess with me, are you? It shouldn't be like this, right?"

"How is that possible? Su Mo, you're really joking. You're about to soar. No, I should call you Commander Su Mo. Don't forget me when you look back, and remember to take care of me."

Mo Bake said, rubbing his hands, his face as thick as a city wall.

Ke Liefu and the others on the side couldn't stand it anymore, feeling a wave of nausea.

This guy was too flexible, actually able to lower himself to this extent, he should at least be a little reserved.

Su Mo was also helpless with Mo Bake, and he coughed and said, "That, Commander Mo Bake, my promotion hasn't been decided yet, how can I dare to call myself a commander?"

"Isn't that a matter of time? Commander Su Mo, have you eaten yet? If you haven't, I'll have Zhao Bao and the others get you something to eat."

Mo Bake flattered him with incomparable enthusiasm.

Su Mo felt extremely uncomfortable all over, goosebumps rising all over him, it was simply terrible. He would rather Mo Bake chase after him and kill him now than have this guy lick him like this. A bootlicker was nothing more than this, Su Mo quickly stopped him.

"No! I suddenly remembered I have something to do, why don't I leave first?"

"Okay, take your time, do you want me to see you off?"

Mo Bake replied with a smile.

"No, no."

Su Mo quickly turned around and slipped away. If he stayed any longer, he felt like his whole person would be ruined.

-----------------------------------------------------

Several days later, in the command room of the Black Obsidian, an operator reported with some excitement.

"Reporting, Lord Li Ruiqi, we have entered the edge of the Dunkye Starry Sky Burial Zone."

Li Ruiqi slowly stood up and said, "Switch to optical mode and display the image!"

"Understood!"

The operator quickly responded.

After a series of operations, a holographic image appeared, and everyone in the command room took a deep breath.

Looking out, in the boundless starry sky, floated a dense mass of electronic waste and wreckage of spaceships, with no end in sight.

Pu Temi took a deep breath and sighed, "We have finally arrived at the Dunkye Burial Area, our second major operational objective. I wonder how much we can gain this time."

Li Ruiqi looked at the burial ground in front of him and replied calmly, "Before considering the gains, please consider the dangers first. This place has the reputation of being the Devil's Maw. According to the information collected in advance, this area is not a safe zone. Hidden within this area of garbage and wreckage are unknown numbers of mysterious monsters, viruses, and aliens. The most terrifying thing is that they are in the dark, and we are in the light, ready to jump out of the shadows and bite your neck."

After listening, Pu Temi's face twitched, and he asked, "Since it's so dangerous, why are we carrying out a major operation here? Wouldn't it be more harm than good if we were attacked?"

"I don't plan to have the Black Obsidian approach this area. This operation will be carried out by small transport ships and operational teams."

Li Ruiqi stared at the ruined starry sky in front of him, and he was also very emotional. What level of battle did this area have to go through to evolve into this state?

"Even so, I'm afraid our people will suffer heavy losses."

"Losses are inevitable, but we have no choice. I recently received some intelligence about other entering civilizations."

"What intelligence?"

Pu Temi asked with great curiosity.

"Other civilizations that entered with us are developing very rapidly. We care about the number of sacrifices, but they don't care. They are developing at all costs. It is said that the speed of development exceeds your imagination. Our enemies are not only the monsters outside, but sometimes competitors are also enemies. And perhaps even more deadly. It is extremely foolish to ask for others to show mercy and think about peaceful coexistence."

Li Ruiqi replied with some silence.

"Ah, you're right, but the risks of this plan are so high, I don't know what the benefits will be? It would be troublesome if it were to outweigh the losses."

"Do you think it's possible to outweigh the losses? To put it bluntly, just the garbage we see now, we can pull back and recycle it. They are all blocks of heavy metal, which are valuable in any case, not to mention that there may be even more valuable wreckage remaining inside."

"Since you've said so, there's really nothing to say. You command this operation."

"Notify all combat personnel below to execute the latest operational plan, Scavenger. All action teams pick up any valuable wreckage. The person with the highest income will receive a corresponding reward. Of course, all captured income must be unconditionally handed over."

Li Ruiqi began to issue orders.

......

In a G district dormitory, Su Mo was yawning and washing up.

Recently, he was so troubled by Mo Bake that he didn't dare to go to the training camp. As soon as that guy saw himself, he could turn into a Teddy and frantically lick his feet.

Su Mo was speechless.

Just then, the broadcast sounded.

"Dear everyone, we are now notifying you of the latest developments of the Black Obsidian. Because the Black Obsidian is implementing the Scavenger Project, the ship will temporarily stop sailing and enter a state of temporary control. Please everyone, do not leave your area of activity as much as possible and cooperate fully."

......

Su Mo was also slightly stunned, what was going on?

Just then, a message popped up on Su Mo's phone. Su Mo took it out and glanced at it.

"Dear Lieutenant Su Mo, please return to your squadron as soon as possible. The latest operational mission, Scavenger Project, is about to begin!"

Looking at this prompt, Su Mo quickly washed up.

A moment later, Su Mo arrived at the G12 district training area.

He saw Mo Bake instructing everyone, "Everyone, perk up. This Scavenger Project is very important. No one is allowed to drop the ball. If you find anything good, you must notify me as soon as possible, understood?"

"Understood!"

Zhao Bo and the others replied with twitching faces.

Su Mo also shook his head straight away. He had run all the way here, and the captains of the other assembly teams were all instructing their teams to pay attention to safety during operations, not to be attacked by monsters, and reminding them of the dangers of this operation.

This guy was good, he came up and asked everyone to find good things and report them to him first.

Ge Liefu couldn't listen anymore, he coughed and reminded him.

"It's almost time."

"Then what are you waiting for? Get in your mechas. I'm telling you, if our team's income is lower than others, you're dead..."

Mo Bake didn't hide anything, anyway, he didn't have any image now, and A Mo Kadi was still looking for trouble with him, asking him to compensate, which was almost annoying him to death. And he couldn't find Su Mo's trouble, he had to hold him up.

You should know that substitute members, not to mention themselves, even General Figer had to treat them equally, which showed how high their status was.

"That, Commander Mo Bake, Su Mo is here."

Zhao Bo looked at Mo Bake so awesome, his eyes turned, and then he opened his mouth to remind him.

When Mo Bake heard this, he turned his head to look at Su Mo, and immediately changed his face 180 degrees, and said to Su Mo with a smile, "Oh, Su Mo, why are you here."

Su Mo resisted the discomfort and replied, "I'm here to participate in the Scavenger operation."

"Oh, this kind of garbage-picking work doesn't require you to do it yourself! You can just stay on the ship, and you can rest assured that when you look back at the task settlement sheet, I will definitely fill it out for you."

Mo Bake said with a smile, rubbing his hands.

Su Mo thought for a few seconds and refused, "No need, I'll just go on a normal mission."

This was a very rare opportunity, maybe he could find something that could charge the optical computer from the garbage area.

"Oh, worthy of being an adult, Su Mo, who does everything himself. If you want to go on a mission, no problem, how about I lend you my Black Steel mecha? This way, the comfort level will be relatively higher."

Mo Bake tried his best to flatter him.

"That's not appropriate, what will you drive if I drive your Black Steel?"

"I'll just stay on the transport ship, anyway, the mecha is idle."

Mo Bake responded with a smile.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll accidentally damage it?"

Su Mo responded with a strange expression.

"Look at what you're saying, it's okay."

Mo Bake said and took out the key and put it directly in Su Mo's hand, being as considerate as possible.

Su Mo hesitated for a moment, and finally accepted it. He now had a Iron Guard mecha, and its performance was not enough.

"Okay, thank you."

......

In the dark starry sky, the huge Black Obsidian slowly stopped sailing.

Then, one by one, the giant boarding exits of the ship opened, and small transport ships began to break away from the ship.

At the same time, mechas rushed out of the ship at high speed.

If you look closely, you will find that there are a large number of transport ships and mechas leaving the Black Obsidian. And on many ships, there is no official unit number at all.

At this time, Su Mo, driving a Black Steel mecha, followed Ke Liefu and flew towards the ruins of the starry sky.

In the communication channel, Ke Liefu was giving everyone some operational tips.

"Everyone, pay attention, be extremely careful when operating, especially do not easily explore those large wreckage ships. Those wreckage ships may have become nests for monsters, and rashly entering is just sending them food..."

"Understood."

"Also, don't spread out too far, keep the communication smooth, and if anything happens, you can ask for help as soon as possible."

"Yes."

"I won't say anything else, let's start operating."

After Ke Liefu simply instructed, he took the lead in entering the wreckage of the starry sky.

Looking around, the spectacular wreckage of the star sea in front of them really surprised everyone greatly.

Su Mo was also driving the Black Steel mecha, curiously watching his surroundings. Entering this area was actually no different from entering a garbage dump.

Everywhere were fragments of broken metal. Some metal plates seemed to have fallen from spaceships, and there were incomprehensible text markings on them.

The whole area felt quite mysterious.

At this time, a task log popped up on Su Mo's operation interface.

Task Log 1: Try to find high-value materials from the wreckage of the starry sky.

Task Log 2: This operation will last for seven days, and the operation time will be adjusted indefinitely according to the income situation.

......

Looking at the task log, Su Mo was also full of energy.

He could scavenge well, maybe he could earn a lot of money.

So Su Mo drove the Black Steel mecha to search in the wreckage area.

Time passed little by little.

Su Mo drove the Black Steel mecha and gradually went deep into this starry sky, and the excitement on his face gradually faded.

All the way along the way, he didn't see anything of high value at all. Except for the broken armor plates of the mechas, the broken shells of missiles, some charred circuit board fragments, and a pile of gravel, he hardly saw too many complete things.

Of course, it can't be ruled out that he missed it.

Just then, Su Mo's eyes lit up. He saw the wreckage of a star fighter, about a third of the size of a complete fighter.

He immediately went up to dismantle it violently. He removed the outer shell and tore off the exposed wires with brute force.

The metal wires exposed by the wires were all charred black, looking like they were burned. It was estimated that they could not be used directly, and needed to be peeled and re-smelted, and the value was not high.

Su Mo continued to disassemble, and soon found the engine, but unfortunately only half of the engine was left, which was useless.

This work was not easy.

Just then, Su Mo's gaze fell on a silver square metal module, which was also connected to many energy output wires, which looked quite advanced.

Su Mo muttered to himself, "Maybe there is some energy in this, which can be left for the Devourer."

Then he removed the energy storage module.

After having the first spoils, Su Mo became more motivated. This place was actually quite good, and there should be some oil and water to scrape.

.......

On the other side, a Generation III mecha, Shatterer, was very agilely shuttling through the pile of garbage.

Before long, the Generation III mecha, Shatterer, stopped. Looking around, there were wrecks of large ships everywhere, and no operators could be seen at all.

Just then, a Generation II mecha, Red Armor, suddenly emerged from behind a piece of wreckage.

"Tsk tsk, we finally meet again."

Lu Lahui sneered.

"I don't know which link went wrong in our last meeting, which aroused the vigilance of those old guys. They conducted a secret investigation, which made me very passive. I spent a lot of effort to suppress the matter, and I couldn't come out to meet you at all."

"It doesn't matter, if they were a bunch of idiots, I wouldn't have to treat them so cautiously. How is the investigation of the matter I asked you to investigate?"

"I have checked everything I can check, but I still haven't found the whereabouts of that thing. Their security work is exceptionally good. If I guessed correctly, the thing should be hidden in the G1 area of the GT department, which is the forbidden area. I can't get close to that area at all."

Mai Han replied calmly.

"Mai Han, my patience is limited, and there is not much time left for you to investigate."

Lu Lahui said a little grimly after listening to Mai Han's report.

"Don't worry, although I can't enter the G1 area, I already have a clue."

"Oh, what are you going to do?"

"Find someone else to start with. The GT department and those old guys are not easy to infiltrate. But there is one person who definitely knows the inside story, and it is relatively easy to start with."

"Who?"

"Diel! I believe he must know something."

A trace of cold light flashed in Mai Han's eyes.

"Haha, I really didn't misunderstand you, go and do it quickly. As long as you can complete my task, I will not miss anything I promised you."

"No problem, the Black Obsidian will stay here for a while recently to carry out an operational mission. During this time, it will be very convenient for me to meet you, and I will give you the results as soon as possible."

Mai Han explained.

"No problem, but there is something I want to remind you. This area is a burial ground, and even I don't know what monsters and aliens are entrenched in it, so the place where we meet should not be too deep."

Lu Lahui reminded with some trepidation.

"I understand."

Mai Han didn't say anything more.

.......

In the wreckage of the starry sky, Su Mo controlled the Black Steel mecha to violently destroy a section of the structure of the spaceship wreckage.

Su Mo was in an exceptionally good mood, and his mecha's metal net was filled with a lot of spoils.

There were discarded battery boxes, some power units, and some green luminous stones. Of course, there were also some strange device wrecks.

Anyway, Su Mo pulled down anything that had anything to do with energy.

Now Su Mo was disassembling some spaceship wrecks to see if he could find some energy storage boxes,

While Su Mo was happily disassembling, Su Mo's nerves suddenly moved slightly. Then he pulled the joystick, controlled the Black Steel mecha to turn around, and waved the alloy long spear in his hand to sweep it over.

A Type I Gnawing Beast with a chrysanthemum-like mouth was instantly penetrated, and black liquid splashed out.

Looking at the body of the Gnawing Beast that had been killed, a trace of hesitation appeared on Su Mo's face. He remembered that the optical computer seemed to have said that the body of this thing could also be used.

But Su Mo always felt a thud in his heart, and finally sighed.

"Let's forget it."

Su Mo looked at the time on the operation screen. He had been working for more than seven hours. He pondered that in another hour, their round of operation would be over, and it was estimated that they would return to the transport ship to rest.

In fact, the income was barely okay, and this was still based on the fact that all the exploration teams tacitly did not go deep.

If they went deep, there might be unexpected gains.

Of course, there would also be dangers. For example, he just went a little deeper, and was immediately attacked by hidden monsters.

Su Mo took a deep breath, and then controlled the mecha to look left and right, and determined that there was no one around.

He controlled the Black Steel mecha to drag the metal net and drilled into the inside of the ship wreck in front of him.

With a wave, Su Mo opened the cockpit, and he floated out of it, and went straight to the metal net full of harvest, and reached out to grab the metal net.

He silently shouted the name of the Fake Creator · Devourer with anticipation.

"Wake up, I have found energy for you."

After collecting so many things, that guy should be very happy, right?

Before long, a deep voice rang in Su Mo's mind.

"Is this what you found for me?"

Su Mo asked in confusion, "Yes, so much! Whatever you want, aren't you not picky?"

"I'm not picky, but I'm not a garbage collector!"

For the first time, there was an emotional fluctuation in the voice of the Fake Creator · Devourer.

Su Mo didn't expect this guy to react so strongly, and said with an embarrassed face, "Or let's forget it, I'll find a way to get it for you."

Just then, Su Mo suddenly felt a burst of wriggling in his chest, and then a jet-black sarcoma oozed out of his body and floated on top of the pile of scrap metal.

Then the sarcoma differentiated into countless black tentacles, wrapping around the collected garbage.

The luster of the collectibles in those metal nets decayed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The whole process took only a few seconds.

After absorbing the remaining energy, the Fake Creator · Devourer floated back to Su Mo and re-entered his body.

He didn't say a word during the whole process.

Su Mo's face was tense. It was obviously a very scary scene, but for some reason, he wanted to laugh inexplicably.

It really responded to that sentence, the more he disliked it before, the more delicious it was when he ate it.

Of course, Su Mo's emotional intelligence was not so low that he would poke the Fake Creator · Devourer and make him unable to step down, otherwise he would be the one who would suffer in the future.

So Su Mo returned to the mecha cockpit and closed the cockpit.

Su Mo glanced at the metal net, thought for a while, opened the metal net, dumped all the collected things inside, and prepared to go out and装装 casually装点东西交差 later.

Just then, Su Mo seemed to sense something, turned his head and looked out through the gap in the ship wreckage.

He saw the Generation III mecha Shatterer passing by in the distance.

Su Mo was also a little surprised and muttered to himself.

"Isn't that General Mai Han? He's really brave, so deep?"

But Su Mo thought about it, it didn't seem to be strange. People were driving a Generation III mecha, so naturally they dared to go deep.

However, at this time, the Fake Creator · Devourer suddenly made a deep voice.

"There is a problem with the pilot of that mecha."

Su Mo was also startled by the words of the Fake Creator · Devourer.

"You're not kidding me, are you?"

However, the Fake Creator · Devourer seemed to have fallen into silence again, and did not answer Su Mo's words.

Su Mo frowned and asked again.

"What do you mean by what you said just now?"

Unfortunately, he still didn't get any response.
