96: Chapter 96 The Crane Orchid 96: Chapter 96 The Crane Orchid However, as Su Mo was walking forward, he suddenly stopped.

With his bare feet, he gently swept away the dust on the ground.

He squinted at the ground and saw ancient bloodstains there, extending in one direction.

Su Mo followed the bloodstains.

Soon, he reached the end of the corridor where there was a room with the door tightly closed.

The trail of bloodstains pointed towards this room.

Su Mo reached out.

Unexpectedly, the door was unlocked.

But that was normal; to monsters, locked or unlocked made no difference.

He held the dagger lightly as he pushed open the door and entered.

Su Mo was slightly startled.

It was a data room with a large computer at the front,

and a skeleton wearing light blue Mechanical Armor was sprawled over it, still clutching a shimmering Titanium Blade.

Su Mo slowly closed the door behind him.

He thoroughly scanned the room first to make sure there was no threat.

“Phew!”

Su Mo took a long breath, approached the skeleton, and after a thorough inspection, he bowed slightly to it as a sign of respect.

Then, he carefully started to remove the full set of Mechanical Armor from the body, soon exposing a shriveled corpse dressed in a military uniform.

As he did so, a particularly unique and intricate key dropped to the floor.

Su Mo bent down to pick it up.

The key was unusual, with a string of letters and numbers on the back, likely no ordinary object.

Given the clothes and equipment on the corpse, the individual’s rank must have been high, and the key, kept on their person, must be important.

Su Mo respectfully placed the body flat on the floor.

Then he quickly cleaned the Mechanical Armor and put it on without hesitation.

During this process, he found a puncture in the abdomen, likely the fatal wound of the skeleton.

Click!

The Mechanical Armor automatically adjusted its size, covering Su Mo’s body completely while a virtual interface appeared in front of his eyes.

Alert: Generation II Power Armor – “Tide”, energy remaining 28%.

Please recharge soon.

Seeing the alert, Su Mo’s eyelids twitched as if he had stumbled upon a treasure.

This was actually a Generation II Mechanical Armor; he had initially thought even Generation I would be good enough.

Su Mo tried moving.

It was his first time wearing this type of Power Armor, and he was unsure of its effects.

He threw a punch into the air, which produced a sonic boom, showing a significant increase in strength.

At the same time, Su Mo tried running, and his speed had also greatly improved, with no discomfort whatsoever.

Su Mo took a deep breath, thinking with this equipment, when he faced York before, there would have been no need to struggle using skills to defeat him; he could have simply overpowered him.

Soon, Su Mo calmed down and began to check other things in the room, starting with the computer.

The body was previously lying on it, clearly indicating that something must have been left inside.

He tried pressing the power button, but unfortunately, there was no response.

However, that was normal; it was probably out of power.

But generally, bases like this have backup power sources.

So Su Mo started searching the room, and indeed found a switch for the backup power on the side wall.

After making sure to turn off all the lights in the room for safety, he checked each room again and even removed the light bulbs from the corridor.

He then found a curtain to cover the computer.

Finally, he approached and tried to pull the switch.

Click!

The previously dim room lit up with several red dots.

Su Mo tried pressing the computer again.

The silent computer turned on automatically.

Su Mo, suppressing his growling stomach, walked toward the computer, aware of the high value of the technological and intelligence aspects within this game.

Just the fact that it could be taken out showed its worth.

It wasn’t every time one got so lucky to come across such an opportunity.

Upon reaching the computer, Su Mo saw it was locked, but this did not stop him.

He cracked the simple password lock within minutes and upon rebooting, an unfinished computer log popped up automatically.

He read it carefully.

February 3, Battleship The Crane Orchid returned to Red Bay Base beaten and damaged, docking at Baihe Port for emergency repairs.

February 16, the main repairs for the battleship were completed.

I looked forward to the moment I would return to the battlefield.

February 22, the battleship’s power system maintenance was completed, one step closer to returning to the battlefield.

My brothers at the front were waiting for me.

February 25, the battleship began reloading its ammunition.

February 26, a large-scale outbreak occurred within the base, with over half of the personnel becoming infected.

The infected personnel, blurred in consciousness, began to speak and act irrationally, and eventually lost their minds.

We checked the food and water sources, but found no source of the infection.

February 27, we gathered all the infected in one dormitory building and sealed all exits.

March 2, late at night, we were ambushed by countless Mutant Species Kazami that crazily stormed into the base from the nearby mountains, the sea, and roads.

Red Bay Base was done for, utterly done for.

Former comrades fell one by one, then became parasitized, and eventually turned into puppets, and I was powerless to stop it….

Su Mo was shocked as the log abruptly ended there.

He fell silent for a while, then manipulated the logs to close them, and searched the computer for more information, only to find there was no significant data.

There were just some crew identity profiles and mission logs, which explained the simple password lock.

Su Mo turned off the computer and looked around the room.

At that moment, he noticed a yellowed map on the wall next to a large white frame; there should have been another map there, but there was nothing, so he went closer for a better look.

He was slightly startled—it was indeed the map of the base.

The dim light earlier had made it impossible to see the details, so he hadn’t paid much attention to it then.

Without a word, Su Mo took down the map, then activated his bracelet, clicked on the image record, and thoroughly documented the map.

Afterwards, Su Mo began to study the map.

He soon found the location of the dining hall, which was not far from him.

Next to the dining hall was a small warehouse marked as a survival supplies storage.

Without a second thought, Su Mo decided on this survival supplies storage; it definitely had what he wanted.

Without further delay, Su Mo folded the map, tucked it into his chest, turned off the backup power switch inside the house, quietly stepped out the door, and carefully closed it behind him.

At that moment, a prompt appeared before Su Mo.
