Chapter 1769: Chapter 1409: Departure (Part 6)
Tilo calmly issued instructions.
At the same time, the ships following behind the Immortal Blade also began to load their weapons.
In an instant, dense beams and missiles poured toward the swarm of Monsters.
Boom~
Groups of attacking Monsters fell like raindrops.
The Immortal Blade, like a sharp Blade, first penetrated into the Monster tide, and its Interception Guards poured out firepower madly!
Boom~
Any approaching Monsters were blasted into pieces.
Meanwhile, various dense beams bombarded the Shield of the Immortal Blade, causing ripples to constantly appear on the Immortal Shield.
The entire ship shook nonstop.
"Breakthrough progress seven percent."
"Immortal Shield strength decreased by five percent, everything is normal for now."
...
In the command room, Long Ke kept reporting the situation, feeling quite nervous. After all, during the last incursion, they almost lost the support troops’ lives.
Su Mo carefully observed the Monster tide and keenly noticed a problem: the Monsters outside Ceres were still dense, but there were obviously fewer than before.
The difficulty of breaking through now was significantly lower than when they first entered Ceres.
Yet, even Su Mo dared not be careless; he remained highly focused on the battlefield, prepared to join the battle at the first sign of change.
Time slowly passed.
The fleet’s breakthrough progress quickly reached forty percent, while more and more Monsters gathered around.
The strength of the Immortal Blade’s Shield continued to decline.
Long Ke suddenly raised his head and reported: "Immortal Shield strength has dropped to fifty percent, below the safety threshold."
"It’s alright, keep pushing. We’re the spearhead, bearing the brunt of firepower. But as long as we hold, the rear fleet will be safe."
Tilo calmly replied.
"Alright."
Long Ke swallowed hard, honestly worried not about the fleet behind them, but whether the Immortal Blade could hold on.
Soon the Immortal Blade’s Shield strength dropped to twenty percent, becoming precarious.
Yet Su Mo still did not intervene in Tilo’s decision; he unconditionally trusted Tilo’s command. Since she took over the Immortal Blade, she had never disappointed him.
At this moment, Tilo finally acted, waving her hand to issue a command.
"Order the rear Star Destroyer Main Cannon to prepare to fire."
"Yes!"
Long Ke quickly relayed the order.
Tilo squinted her eyes at the dense Monster tide ahead and immediately waved her hand to issue another command.
"All units, fire!"
Instantly, brilliant beams accompanied by terrifying beams from the Immortal Blade pierced through the Monster tide ahead.
"Group acceleration, charge!"
Tilo crisply gave the order.
In an instant, the majestic fleet followed the Immortal Blade, charging forward like a hot knife through butter.
Soon after, the entire fleet successfully broke through Ceres.
Long Ke sighed in relief and said to Su Mo.
"Boss, it’s finally done."
Su Mo shook his head and said: "This is just the beginning; let’s not talk about it. Now head to the designated coordinates at full speed, we’ve been delayed too long and must make up for lost time."
"Understood, leave that to me. However, it will still take quite some time to reach the designated battlefield, you can use this time to rest after all the high-intensity fighting."
Tilo said with concern.
Qian Chengxue agreed with Tilo’s words and also persuaded Su Mo.
"Su Mo, Tilo is right, you’ve been quite tired lately, you should take a break, I’ll watch from here."
Su Mo pondered for a moment and finally nodded slightly.
"Alright, then I’ll leave it to you."
Immediately, Su Mo slowly got up and walked out of the command room.
Walking down the metal corridor, Su Mo couldn’t help but fall into contemplation. He had vaguely guessed there would be a tough battle coming up; previously, he was too preoccupied to think about it.
Now that he had some downtime, he had to consider the upcoming battle.
"What are you thinking?"
The Creator·Swallower seemed to sense Su Mo’s abnormality and asked in a low voice.
"Thinking about the upcoming battle with the Eternal Sleep Clan, it’s bound to be an endless war."
"What’s there to think about, isn’t it predictable?"
"The problem is, I remember your charge is running low, right?"
Su Mo asked headache-inducing.
The Creator·Swallower pondered for a long time after hearing Su Mo’s words before finally speaking: "There’s fifteen percent remaining."
Su Mo heard the number and chuckled wryly.
"This is trouble, how are we going to recharge you."
"Honestly, if possible, devouring that VI-type corpse would be best. I could achieve substantial recharging, but that corpse has Negative God Cells, it’s untouchable."
The Creator·Swallower replied in a low voice.
Su Mo’s expression changed upon hearing this.
"Let’s go, and check the laboratory."
...
Not long after, Su Mo arrived at the laboratory’s entrance inside the Immortal Blade, a facility originally part of the Immortal Blade.
The old man only removed the personnel when transferring the ship, leaving all equipment intact.
Later, when Vilic was rescued by Su Mo, it became his den.
Several subordinates guarding the laboratory saw Su Mo and saluted one after another.
"Lord Su Mo."
Su Mo nodded slightly and walked inside directly.
In the spacious laboratory, only dozens of personnel in research clothing were present, all gathered near the observation area of the Biological Pool.
"Is this the VI-type Monster? It’s my first time seeing it up close."
"Look at the pollution monitoring value, it’s off the charts."
"That’s nothing, look at its body surface, the protruding pus bumps seem to be wriggling."
"Do you think Dr. Vilic and Dr. Lan Xi might be in danger inside?"
...
The researchers present were nervously discussing.
Su Mo walked to the observation area, seeing Hilika’s corpse lying quietly inside the Biological Pool, with the Thunder God’s Spear still piercing through it, occasionally flickering with Thunder Light.
At this time, Vilic and Lan Xi, wearing several layers of protective clothing, were observing up close.
Occasionally, they used specialized equipment to extract samples of Hilika’s various body tissues.
Su Mo quietly waited outside.
Not long after, Vilic and Lan Xi completed the specimen collection and carefully exited the Biological Pool to enter the disinfection room.
Following a series of complex procedures, both returned to the laboratory.
Meanwhile, the collected specimens were already sent to specialized equipment for analysis.
