False Court
Chapter 1398 Hope
The accident happened too suddenly. It was literally heaven one second, and hell the next.
--------------------
Meanwhile, in a dark and oppressive cave...
Figures huddled against the earthen walls.
The dim light from the fluorescent stones revealed that these figures were survivors from the Federation, as well as people from various countries.
These people were none other than the survivors from the Anmu Base.
However, they didn't have much joy from surviving the disaster. The majority of them had expressions of pain, numbness, fear, and despair.
Painful sounds could be heard, emanating from the injured.
Due to a lack of treatment, many of the wounded lay on the ground, dazed, their fates uncertain.
Their companions were unable to help. They could barely take care of themselves. Most of the people there had cracked and bleeding lips, sallow complexions, and were mentally drained.
Anmu Base fell long before the other bases. Everyone was forced to flee. In their haste, they weren't able to carry many supplies.
Moreover, hiding here wasn't necessarily safe. Monsters emerged from the extending tunnels of the cave almost every day. People would die tragically. No one could guarantee that they wouldn't be discovered by high-level monsters the next second. The shadow of death constantly loomed over everyone.
......
In a corner, a weary officer said with some despair,
"Lord Lin Ming, is there any hope for us?"
"Hang in there, we will definitely be rescued."
Lin Ming said in a deep voice.
"I feel like I can't hold on much longer."
"Don't talk nonsense. Believe me, I will definitely bring you all out of here alive."
Lin Ming said through gritted teeth.
......
On the other side of the cave, a commotion erupted.
Dozens of people in III-generation mechs were beaten to the ground.
"Let go!"
A burly man in IV-generation mech, clutching a medical kit, roared angrily.
"No, never, this is mine...."
A thin man hugged the kit tightly, refusing to let go.
"Looking for death!"
The burly man kicked him away.
"Brother Afais, are you alright?"
A companion quickly got up and rushed towards the man who had been kicked away.
Afais shook his head and struggled to his feet. He glared at the large man who had snatched his things and said,
"Give it back to us. Those are our only remaining supplies. Our companions are waiting to be saved."
"Who can prove that this is yours? This is clearly ours."
The burly man said unreasonably.
"Bullshit! Everyone saw it clearly. Jiakuer, your behavior is simply tarnishing the reputation of the Mech骸 Empire."
Afais rebuked angrily.
"Who saw it?"
Jiakuer turned and scanned the onlookers.
Seeing this, the onlookers turned their heads away. The law of the jungle was common, especially in this environment.
In addition, the Mech骸 Empire was strong and domineering. No one wanted to provoke them.
They might suffer as well.
"You!"
Afais said through gritted teeth, his eyes bloodshot.
"If you talk any more nonsense, I'll kill you all!"
Jiakuer said fiercely. If he wasn't worried about inciting public anger, he would have killed Afais to shut him up!
"Forget it, Brother Afais."
At this time, Afais's companions stepped forward and pulled him back.
Lin Ming, watching this scene from the corner, frowned.
At this time, Li Cheng came over, took out a nutrient bar, handed it to Lin Ming and said, "Brother, eat something, don't worry about those things. This is not the first time this has happened, but fortunately those guys are still restrained and haven't killed anyone."
"I'm not hungry, leave it for the brothers below,"
Lin Ming waved his hand and refused. Besides, he did not refute Li Cheng's words. Although he really disliked this kind of thing, the situation of his brothers was also very bad, and he would not put his brothers in danger for irrelevant people.
It should be known that among the survivors here, the personnel of the Mech骸 Empire and its allied countries are the strongest.
"Brother Lin Ming, please eat it, you haven't eaten for a long time."
Li Cheng couldn't help but persuade him.
Just then, an unusual noise came from the external passage.
The person guarding the passage immediately waved his hand and whispered, "Something's happening!"
Instantly, everyone in the cave drew their portable weapons and prepared nervously to fight.
Lin Ming and some other experts in the cave rushed to the mechs next to them, ready to activate them for battle at any time.
Just then, the noise grew louder and louder, with muffled sounds constantly coming.
Everyone's nerves were tense, and they couldn't help but swallow.
Many people silently prayed that it wouldn't come over.
Suddenly, a pair of scarlet eyes appeared from the dark passage.
In an instant, everyone launched an attack, and beams of light shot over.
As a result, those beams were all blocked by a force field barrier, and the light scattered.
This alien, resembling a mantis, was covered with a carapace with special patterns. Its ferocious head protruded, its entire mouth was filled with sharp fangs, it had two blades flashing with cold light, and a slender tail vertebra. It exuded a terrifying aura.
"It's over! It's a V-type hero-class alien!"
Someone in the cave recognized it and shouted in despair.
Instantly, everyone was on high alert. Only Lin Ming frowned and stood there in a daze.
Just then, a sudden voice rang out from behind the alien.
"Get out of the way, what are you doing blocking the front?"
Su Mo said unhappily.
Then the terrifying alien quickly made way, and then Su Mo appeared in front of everyone.
The scene became unusually silent, and everyone was stunned.
Su Mo looked at everyone in front of him, took a deep breath, and showed a smile.
"Finally found you."
"Su Mo!"
The Federation people took the lead in shouting with ecstasy.
At this time, the other survivors on the scene also showed pleasant expressions, as if reinforcements had arrived.
Lin Ming then opened the cockpit, jumped off the mech, and hugged Su Mo excitedly.
"Su Mo, why are you here?"
"It's not just me, the support troops are all here, but I have to say, you guys hiding here is really hard to find!"
Su Mo said with a smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, a commotion came from the passage behind Su Mo, and search and rescue personnel from various countries followed.
Among them were Lin Yaotian and others.
"Lin Ming!"
Lin Yaotian shouted happily.
"Father!"
Lin Ming's eyes suddenly moistened when he saw Lin Yaotian.
