Chapter 2041 - 1598: Things Remain, People Change (Part 5)

A few days later.

Earth Star · Alimos Plain.

Gigantic Blue Whale ships and various types of vessels were neatly docked together.

All personnel on the evacuation list had basically already boarded the ships.

Meanwhile, countless personnel who stayed behind came to bid farewell, and the scene was filled with cries.

At this moment, the President of Alles, along with a group of key personnel staying behind, was instructing Ithlin and Li Ruiqi, while Rose and Karina stood quietly beside them.

"Your responsibility this time is very heavy, you must ensure the safety of all evacuees. Once we are safe on this side, we will come to find you."

"Rest assured, Mr. President!"

Ithlin and Li Ruiqi replied solemnly.

At this moment, Su Mo also walked over.

Rose and Karina, upon seeing Su Mo, exclaimed in surprise.

"Su Mo!"

Li Ruiqi and Ithlin also looked at Su Mo and smiled, saying,

"Su Mo, you came."

"How could I not come, I’m here to see you off. This farewell, who knows when we’ll meet again."

Su Mo said with some emotion.

Though officially it was said to be a temporary evacuation to a safe Star Sea, and to decide based on the situation once things here settled, it might be possible to reunite.

But in reality, everyone understood this evacuation was like sowing seeds and wandering.

Li Ruiqi and Ithlin, upon hearing Su Mo’s words, also couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

At this moment, Karina’s eyes reddened, and she forced a bright smile despite her sadness, extending a hand to Su Mo.

"Indeed, who knows when we’ll meet next, can we have a hug goodbye."

"Sure!"

Su Mo carefree extended his hand and embraced Karina.

At this moment, Rose laughed lightly and said, "This is a bit unfair, let me have a go as well."

"Alright."

Su Mo then smiled and hugged Rose.

In that moment, a hint of warmth permeated the melancholic atmosphere.

Just then, an Orderly Officer ran over, reporting to Li Ruiqi and Alles and the others.

"Everything is ready."

Li Ruiqi nodded slightly, then turned to Alles and the others and said.

"We should depart, the other Alliance Country fleets are also setting sail. Once we find a foothold, we’ll send someone to notify you."

"Alright, we wish you a safe journey!"

Alles and Su Mo sincerely wished them well.

Ithlin and Li Ruiqi saluted Alles and the others, then headed towards the ship entrance.

The NCOs bidding farewell also turned and boarded the ship.

Su Mo and others stood still, watching. After a long while, ships started their anti-gravity systems, slowly ascending, then flying towards the starlit sky above.

At that moment, in every area of Earth Star, countless ships set sail along.

Su Mo and others watched the departing fleet, waving goodbye with mixed emotions.

Not long after, all ships left Earth Star, disappearing from view. Alles took a deep breath, looked resolutely at the remaining NCOs and councilmen around him, and said.

"Alright, our vulnerability has gone. From now on, we must give it our all, to strive for a bright future for the Federation!"

"Yes, Mr. President."

Everyone responded without hesitation.

Su Mo watched the scene, deeply inspired. What Alles said was right, it’s time to work hard.

Just then, Su Mo’s electronic bracelet vibrated.

Buzz buzz~

A message popped up.

He was slightly stunned, then glanced at it, showing a very surprised expression.

So Su Mo said to Alles.

"President Alles, I have to leave now."

"Leaving so soon? These past few days we’ve been busy preparing for evacuation and relocation, didn’t have time for you, finally done now, I thought we could have a meal together, chat the night away."

"Next time, I have something to attend to."

"All right, then I won’t hold you back."

Seeing Su Mo seemed indeed to be occupied, Alles didn’t press further.

Su Mo nodded slightly and turned towards the Shadow floating in the distance.

...

Not long after, the Shadow left Earth Star.

In the command room, Su Mo sat in the command chair, his expression changing while looking at the message on the electronic bracelet.

Sun Duoxiang curiously leaned over to ask.

"Boss, what’s wrong? You seem restless, is something up."

"Go away, can’t you see I’m annoyed."

Su Mo grumbled.

"Alright, alright."

Sun Duoxiang quickly stepped aside.

Su Mo’s expression grew increasingly serious, feeling somewhat unsettled. Just now, he received a message from the old man.

The message was simple, asking him to bring some trusted people and meet at coordinates (562,2411,7777) in the Ring Star Sea tomorrow, to accompany the old man to the Zero Star Domain.

As for what to do in the Zero Star Domain, how long it would take, nothing was mentioned.

With Su Mo’s understanding of the old man, if he didn’t express something directly, it meant he didn’t want to tell you, no matter how much you asked, it’s of no use.

Su Mo was momentarily perplexed, at this crucial time asking him to go to the Zero Star Domain, how long would it be until he could return.

Moreover, it seemed Star Ring City was about to make a significant move, it was uncertain if it would conflict then, and the most troublesome point, the repair work of the Heart of Forbidden Prison was ongoing, he had to leave people to guard it.

Which means Su Mo couldn’t bring his entire Legion along.

Thinking to this point, Su Mo’s head ached, he momentarily didn’t know how to arrange it.
