Su Mo followed the worker's instructions and looked to the right.

He saw corpses covered in white cloths, a large number of them.

Judging from the white clothes exposed on some of the bodies, most of the dead were researchers.

In the center of the corpses, there was an ice coffin, heavily guarded.

Su Mo and the others walked over with heavy steps, but were stopped as soon as they approached.

"Sorry, you can't get close. The remains of key core personnel are inside."

The guard said with a somber expression.

Su Mo didn't say much, just stopped and looked from a distance. Actually, it made no difference to him whether he got close or not.

He could see the situation inside the ice coffin clearly.

Inside the ice coffin, a mangled corpse was covered with a white cloth.

Su Mo looked for a long time, his expression becoming more melancholy.

"Su Mo, if you feel sad, just say it."

Qiancheng Xue reached out and quietly held Su Mo's hand, calling out to him softly with concern.

"Actually, I'm quite proud of her. After all, she created a miracle, but it's a pity she won't see the victorious result."

Su Mo said with a sad expression, his voice hoarse.

Memories of the past surfaced one by one.

At that time, he was just a poor boy who had just arrived at the company. Although it was fake, Lin Zinuo did not despise him and still took care of him in every possible way. It was just that unrequited love led to them being separated by life and death in the end.

Sun Duoxiang and the others also lowered their heads, feeling a little uncomfortable, and said, "Boss, don't be sad. This era is all about life and death. No one can predict the future. Just like this attack, who could have imagined it? Too many people didn't even have time to react before their lives were lost."

"You're right, rest in peace!"

Su Mo bowed deeply towards the corpses in the distance.

Qiancheng Xue, Sun Duoxiang, and the others also bowed deeply.

Just then, someone poked Su Mo's shoulder, and a familiar voice sounded.

"What are you doing?"

Su Mo's body stiffened, and he subconsciously turned his head to look.

He saw Lin Zinuo wearing a white research uniform, asking with a puzzled expression.

"A ghost!"

Sun Duoxiang and the others were instantly startled.

Qiancheng Xue was also surprised to see Lin Zinuo standing in front of her, and happily held her hand: "Zinuo, you're okay."

"I'm fine. Who are you guys worshiping? Did some friend die?"

Lin Zinuo asked with a confused expression.

Sun Duoxiang subconsciously said, "We thought you were dead, so we were worshiping..."

Su Mo's face darkened, and he kicked Sun Duoxiang directly, interrupting him. He coughed slightly and said,

"That... misunderstanding."

Lin Zinuo sighed and said, "Actually, I almost lost my life, but I was lucky. The metal ceiling above my head collapsed, and I squatted down immediately. The operating table absorbed most of the force, and I also injected the V-type gene drug, so I survived. But unfortunately, Chief Research Doctor Sebas of the Warp Fortress sacrificed himself. The Federation lost another top doctor."

Although Sebas was indeed a bit afraid of death, his talent was undeniable, otherwise he would not have built the Warp Fortress Zhi Xing Zhi Guang (Star of Wisdom) so well.

"Uh, so you're saying that Dr. Sebas is lying in that coffin? Not you?"

Su Mo said with a somewhat unnatural expression.

Lin Zinuo squeezed out a smile and said to Su Mo, "What's wrong? Aren't you happy that I'm alive?"

"No, no..."

Su Mo quickly shook his head.

"Then you're not very happy to see me alive, not even excited enough to give me a hug."

Lin Zinuo said with a smile.

"Uh, that's not appropriate, is it?"

Su Mo looked at Qiancheng Xue awkwardly.

Qiancheng Xue also covered her mouth and chuckled.

Lin Zinuo shrugged helplessly and said in a free and easy manner, "This is just a brotherly hug. If you're so awkward, then there's a problem."

"Zinuo is right, I specially approve it."

Qiancheng Xue replied with a chuckle.

Su Mo's expression became even more unnatural. How could he dare? He said with extreme embarrassment.

"This, let's just forget it..."

However, the next moment, Lin Zinuo quickly stepped forward and gave Su Mo a big hug, then quickly separated, not forgetting to tease him.

"Really, you're like a girl. And you smell so bad, haven't you showered in days?"

"Haha!"

For a moment, everyone laughed.

Only Su Mo was left standing there awkwardly.

Lin Zinuo didn't care. She was in a very good mood after surviving a disaster.

"By the way, how is your father?"

Su Mo quickly changed the subject and asked with concern.

"My father suffered some minor injuries, but he's fine. I just sent him to the medical room."

Lin Zinuo said with great relief.

"Well, it's good that he's okay."

......

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

Several days later, Su Mo lay in bed, recuperating while browsing the Star Ring Forum.

The forum was still lively.

However, most of the discussions were about the identity of the enemy who attacked the other day.

Many experts conducted special analyses.

They believed that since the other party chose to launch an attack outside the Ring of Stars, it was obvious that they were exploiting the loopholes in the Star Ring City.

The attacking enemy must be a force very familiar with the Star Ring City.

At first, everyone thought it was done by the Gomotos Empire, but as Heath personally joined the battle, basically no one mentioned this view anymore, except for a few extremists.

However, now that the Gomotos Empire's suspicion was cleared, there was no one to suspect for a while.

Su Mo stretched and said to the Creator·Devourer, "Who do you think did it?"

"I'm not sure, but if I had to say so, I think the Fallen God Church is inseparable from it. I felt a strong negative energy pollution from inside those ghost fire mechas."

The Creator·Devourer rarely gave an answer.

"If it was done by that group of lunatics, then it's troublesome."

Su Mo replied with a headache while continuing to browse the forum.

At this time, Su Mo scrolled to a post about the rescue in the Kingdom of Goga, and he silently mourned as he looked at the tragic situation on it.

It was really too tragic.

In just a few days, the Joint Rescue Team had rescued more than one million surviving people.

However, more than half of these one million survivors suffered from varying degrees of radiation, and their bodies were largely ulcerated.

And the number of people who were not rescued from the ruins was countless, and life-and-death rescues were being staged every day.

Countless people left messages to encourage and cheer them on, and many people donated generously.

Of course, there were also a few imperial citizens who said they deserved it, but they were immediately anonymously dissuaded by people from the empire.

"Forget it, don't say it."

"It's already miserable enough."

......

In a sense, people's hearts are made of flesh. Seeing this tragic situation, normal people are unwilling to say anything more.

Su Mo sighed and said to the Creator·Devourer, "Because of that attack by those guys, the expedition plan has been directly delayed. Now, if the troops depart, they're afraid something will happen at home, but if they don't, the Valley God Star is waiting. And I'm still waiting to go to the Valley God Star to do my mission. My head is about to explode."

"You should rest first. Although it seems like you weren't injured, you used the power of negative energy pollution beyond your capacity. Your physical condition is not good either. But I also find it a bit strange, your pollution is already so strong, why haven't you fallen yet?"

The Creator·Devourer asked with doubt.

"Are you hoping that I die sooner? Can't you hope for something good for me?"

Su Mo's mouth twitched as he replied, both angry and amused.
