Chapter 1 Time Passes

Time passed little by little.

Su Mo vaguely opened his eyes and regained consciousness. He got up as quickly as possible, nervously looking around, searching for the trace of that alien species.

But he found nothing. The dim surroundings were empty, and Karami was long gone.

Su Mo wore an incredulous expression. What was going on?

That monster didn't eat him? Could it be because his meat didn't taste good?

Su Mo's expression kept changing, unable to figure it out. At this moment, he saw the tattered protective suit on his body, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked!

He quickly checked the injuries on his body, and a very strange scene appeared. No matter how Su Mo touched his body, he couldn't find any wounds, not even a scar. He even felt a little like he had seen a ghost.

Su Mo remembered very clearly that he was indeed seriously injured. Normally, he should have been infected, but not only did he not have any wounds on his body, but he also didn't feel any discomfort.

Could it be because he injected the V-type gene agent? Besides this explanation, Su Mo couldn't think of any other explanation.

However, Su Mo remembered very clearly that when he bought the V-type gene agent, it clearly stated that in addition to strengthening and prolonging cell activity for 2,000 years, it could also immunize against low-level viral infections. It should be fine, right?

Of course, Su Mo was still a little worried and hesitant in his heart, concerned about his situation, and worried that something unexpected would happen.

After all, no one could say for sure about the specific effects.

After hesitating for a while, Su Mo sighed and decided not to dwell on it. He began to observe his surroundings.

Only then did he realize that he had fallen into a modified cave. He looked up, but couldn't see the top at all. This cave was deeper than he had imagined.

Su Mo first walked to the Black Steel Mecha and inspected it slightly.

In the end, he couldn't help but shake his head. The mecha was too badly damaged and could no longer be started.

Then Su Mo jumped down from the mecha's body and refocused his energy on the cave. Although many fluorescent stones were embedded in the walls of the cave, the light emitted by the fluorescent stones was very weak, and the visibility was extremely low. There might be hidden exits lurking somewhere.

Su Mo began to search carefully. Before long, he had an unexpected surprise.

In the corner of the cave, he found a shriveled corpse.

Su Mo crouched down and observed carefully. This guy was wearing a high-level uniform. If there were no accidents, he should be the commander of this base. Apart from him, he didn't see any other corpses, which meant that only he had escaped here.

At this moment, Su Mo's gaze fell on his hands. He saw that his hands were holding a not-so-large box.

Su Mo tried to reach out and take the box, but found that the other party was holding it very tightly, like a lifeline.

This made Su Mo even more certain that there must be something very important in this box. He forcefully pried open the other party's hand and took the box out little by little.

He looked at it carefully. This box was not very big, and it was square.

Su Mo opened the box and saw a fist-sized stone lying quietly inside. This stone was black-gold in color, and covered with dazzling golden lines. Those lines seemed to be alive, constantly flowing.

Su Mo took out the stone and observed it carefully, but couldn't figure it out.

Su Mo simply put the unknown metal directly into his pocket. This mission was not in vain. At least he got a rare ore, which looked like it should be quite valuable.

Then Su Mo continued to check the corpse and other places to see if there were any gains and exits.

.....

On the other side, Xiao Wen and Chen Shan and others were searching for Su Mo's whereabouts in the base.

"Su Mo?"

......

They searched for a long time but couldn't find any trace.

"Hey~ where did he go."

Chen Shan was so anxious that his throat was almost smoking.

"Old Chen, look ahead, the ground has collapsed. Could they have fallen in?"

Xiao Wen quickly discovered the problem.

"Go and see."

Looking at the broken ground ahead, Chen Shan replied.

"Be careful!"

Xiao Wen and others cautiously approached, also afraid that monsters would suddenly emerge.

Soon they came to the top of the collapse, looking down into the pitch black, bottomless!

Looking at the dark collapsed opening, Xiao Wen and others were also apprehensive.

"What should we do, sir? Could Master Su Mo be down there?"

Qin Feng asked hesitantly.

"Su Mo!"

Chen Shan shouted down below.

The sound came down, but there was no response.

Chen Shan suddenly couldn't hold back. He gritted his teeth and said, "I can't control so much, I'll go down and see!"

"Old Chen, don't be impulsive."

Xiao Wen was about to dissuade him.

Chen Shan directly drove the Iron Guard Mecha and jumped down.

Inside the cave, Su Mo had just searched around and couldn't find an exit at all. When his head was aching, he suddenly heard someone calling his name from above.

Su Mo listened carefully, it seemed to be Chen Shan's voice.

He immediately showed joy, came to the center, and raised his head to respond when suddenly a huge thing smashed down fiercely from above.

"Damn~"

Su Mo was also taken aback, his nerves tightened suddenly, and he jumped back quickly to dodge!

Boom~

Chen Shan was seen driving the Iron Guard heavily on the ground!

Su Mo, with a dark face, yelled at Chen Shan: "Chen Shan, are you crazy? Trying to kill me!"

He was really going to be mad at this guy. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough to dodge in time, otherwise it would have been a tragedy.

In the end, he didn't die at the hands of the alien species, but died at the hands of his teammates.

Chen Shan controlled the mecha to look down and saw at a glance that Su Mo was not dead, and was also very excited.

"Brother, you're not dead? That's great! I said you'd be fine. Wait, where's that monster?"

Chen Shan suddenly came back to his senses and raised the close-range gun in his hand to guard the surroundings.

When Su Mo heard Chen Shan's words, he immediately came back to his senses, thought of something, and quickly urged.

"That monster is not here, but it's hard to say it won't come back in a while, let's go quickly!"

Chen Shan's heart also rose when he heard Su Mo's words, and he was highly nervous.

"Okay, okay, let's go quickly."

He immediately stretched out his hand to grab Su Mo, and then activated the jet device on his back, flying upwards towards the collapsed opening.

Soon Chen Shan flew out with Su Mo.

Xiao Wen and others were overjoyed when they saw Chen Shan bring Su Mo out, and they all surrounded him.

"Su Mo, you're okay."

"I'm okay."

Su Mo looked at his concerned companions and responded with a smile. The feeling of surviving a disaster was really good.

"Wait, Officer Su Mo, why are your clothes so tattered?"

Qin Feng suddenly said in horror.

At this time, everyone noticed that the protective suit on Su Mo's body had long been dilapidated, and their expressions suddenly changed drastically.

Chen Shan said sadly: "Brother, you wouldn't be infected, would you?"

Su Mo was also a little embarrassed, but he immediately explained.
