Chapter 98 - 98 98 Boldness Second Update

98: Chapter 98: Boldness (Second Update) 98: Chapter 98: Boldness (Second Update) Lin Zinuo felt uneasy under Su Mo’s gaze and coughed before speaking.

“We’re just discussing it purely.”

Su Mo didn’t believe Lin Zinuo’s explanation one bit, but of course, he had no interest in exposing him.

After pondering for a moment, he replied.

“Under normal circumstances, there would be no hope, but it’s not entirely hopeless now.

Bay Base is currently under a powerful attack from an unknown force, and the main monsters of the entire Bay Base have been drawn there.

We have a great chance to fish in troubled waters.”

Hearing Su Mo’s words, Lin Zinuo and the others’ eyes lit up.

“Su Mo, how about we pull off a big job?

If we win, it’s a huge gain; if we lose, it’s not a loss.

After all, our current situation isn’t much better.

The little food you brought back has already been eaten, and we still need to go back for more.

Even if we had plenty of food, we might not have enough fuel, and with all the fog everywhere, we might still end up sinking to the ocean floor.”

Lin Zinuo asked Su Mo in a consultative tone if they could pull it off, still needing to seek Su Mo’s opinion.

Su Mo was naturally willing; he was thinking of going back to get a Mecha.

So he said, “Alright!”

Upon hearing Su Mo’s reply, Lin Zinuo and the others showed an extremely joyous expression.

“So what do we do?”

Su Mo said to Lin Zinuo and the others, “Come gather around, I have an immature plan of action we can discuss.”

All of Lin Zinuo’s group crowded around.

Pointing at the map, Su Mo said, “The shipyard is right at the center of the seaport, but this shipyard is enclosed, and on top of the shipyard, there’s at least one type II Boss-level mutant, Kazami, guarding it.

Along the way, there are lots of puppet soldiers infested with parasites, and Kazami in a semi-somnolent tumorous state.”

Hearing Su Mo’s words, Lin Zinuo and the others were dumbfounded.

“How are we going to pull this off with just fifteen people and no ammunition for our weapons?”

“Fifteen is enough.

We’ll try to make as little noise as possible when getting ashore, then I’ll take you here, to a small armory with various types of individual weapons.

You’ll arm yourselves here first.

Then head to this survival resource storage behind the shipyard for supplies, and wait there.

I’ll go to this nearby hangar to get a Mecha.

When I come out in the Mecha, I’ll do my best to attract the attention of all monsters near the shipyard.

Then you can enter from the back of the shipyard.

If the back door isn’t open, blow it open with a rocket launcher, go straight in, and start the ship.”

Su Mo pointed at the map, explaining the rough plan.

His plan was simple and very purpose-driven.

“Can’t we just sneak into the shipyard quietly?”

Zhou Qian asked curiously.

“If it weren’t for that type II boss-level monster overhead, your idea would be fine.

But now, it’s clearly impossible.

Without drawing its attention, we probably can’t even get inside.”

Su Mo said plainly and clearly.

“Wait, I have a question.

Are we really able to operate that ship, and what if there’s no key?”

Qin Wang voiced his concern, not because he wanted to dampen everyone’s spirits.

“You can’t think like that.

If you think like that, how are we supposed to proceed?

Maybe the key is in the control room.”

Zhou Qian optimistically said.

“Qin Wang is right, Zhou Qian, you’re a bit too optimistic.

The key is not in the control room.”

Su Mo calmly spoke.

Initially, he wasn’t too sure, but after reviewing the identity profile, I was one hundred percent certain the body was that of The Crane Orchid’s captain, and the key he held was undoubtedly for the ship.”

“So where’s the key?”

Lin Zinuo’s heart sank, hoping they wouldn’t have to search for the key.

Just then, Su Mo silently pulled out an exquisite key and said, “The key is right here.”

Seeing the key in Su Mo’s hand, Lin Zinuo and the others were overjoyed.

“You should have said that earlier, you had us thinking we were hanging by a thread again.”

“Don’t be too happy just yet, there are some things I need to mention beforehand.

The plan is perfect, but I can’t predict what mishaps might occur along the way.

If any aspect goes wrong, we could all end up dead.

So think it through, and don’t die with regrets,”

Su Mo seriously warned.

“What’s there to be afraid of?

There’s a saying, ‘Cowards may starve to death, but the daring will survive by taking risks.'”

Lin Zinuo replied confidently, as missing such a rare opportunity would simply be unjust to oneself.

“Exactly, we’ll follow Sister Zinuo’s lead.”

Sun Hong and others agreed without hesitation.

“But I have a question, normally it takes several hours to cold start a normal ship.

Will the enemy give us that much time?”

Qin Wang asked hesitantly.

“Didn’t Su Mo say that the ship was advanced?

I heard from Zi Qing that the technology in this world is more advanced than ours.

If the ship’s power system is advanced enough, cold starting in just about ten minutes is possible, so we can take the risk,”

Lin Zinuo explained.

“Alright then,”

Qin Wang didn’t say much else.

“Okay, we’ll rest for two hours, and as soon as our strength is fully recovered, we’ll depart,”

Su Mo decided.

“That’s no issue, but I have one concern,”

Zhou Qian suddenly remembered a very tricky problem.

“What is it?”

“We don’t have the same insane stamina as you, swimming that far is one thing.

We can manage a kilometer, but asking us to swim five kilometers in one go, that’s…”

Zhou Qian expressed her biggest worry.

The others looked at each other, realizing they had overlooked this issue.

“That’s simple, I have a solution,”

Lin Zinuo suddenly spoke up.

“Sister Zinuo, what’s the solution?”

Su Mo and the others immediately looked towards Zinuo.

“The ship has emergency inflatable dinghies, we just need to row over in them.

Of course, we won’t row all the way to the base, we’ll stop at a relatively safe distance, then jump in and swim the rest together,”

Lin Zinuo meticulously explained her method.

Su Mo weighed it, and although it was still risky, it indeed seemed like a good compromise.

Otherwise, making them swim all the way was indeed too demanding.

“Feasible, that’s settled then,”

Su Mo decided.

Everyone was excited and joyous, all started to conserve their energy, waiting for the rest period to end to set off in their best condition.

At this moment, Su Mo leaned on the deck railing to rest, idly flipping through the combat log on his bracelet.
