Chapter 17 Synthetic Meat

Qin Mo didn't get involved in the whole battle.

Grote walks forward in the encirclement of the enemy army, strafing the enemy with the weapon in his hand. This weapon is more useful after being changed to a shotgun-like shooting method. Each shot can cover an enemy at an extremely fast shooting speed.

Gray fired at full force, making good use of his shoulder cannon.

In the HUD inside his mask, the lower left corner is a bird's-eye view picture from the reconnaissance drone, and every rebel is marked in the picture.

The reconnaissance drone can also be linked with the shoulder gun. When the shoulder gun adjusts the shooting angle, it will directly generate a killing range indicator on the HUD screen, and there will be no embarrassing situation of missing the shot after firing.

When the rebels were killed and collapsed and chose to escape, the battle was over.

Gray and Grote returned to Qin Mo, and the three of them walked into the large bunker together.

All the survivors in the bunker looked at the three of them in awe, and walked near the three of them from various positions, knelt on one knee on the ground and stared at the double-headed eagle on the scepter in Qin Mo's hand.

"Who is the most senior officer among you?" Qin Mo asked as he walked.

"It's me, sir." A captain wearing the same epaulet as Klein's came out, walked up to Qin Mo and knelt down on one knee.

Qin Mo looked down at the head of the regiment and gave him an order: "Your current number is 472, which is too small. There is no need to garrison the current position. Immediately march westward to join other troops."

"Yes." The regiment leader nodded, a little surprised in his heart, because he didn't know how many people were left just after the battle.

Qin Mo's order was executed immediately.

Soldiers gathered at the position with all their weapons and supplies.

Nearly half of the less than 500 people were wounded, some were supported by comrades in arms, and some were carried on iron plates.

Letting these people walk more than 70 kilometers is indeed a bit difficult.

Qin Mo could only call the transport drone over and let the wounded get on the transport plane first.

Seeing Qin Mo's kindness towards the disabled, the regiment leader finally couldn't help asking an inappropriate question: "Are you a general? Is our line of defense still there?"

Qin Mo didn't want to answer at first, but felt their fiery gazes, so he decided to respond: "I don't know if the defense line established after the attack plan failed still exists, but I'm already starting to build a new defense line, and now there are two fortresses in total."

Hearing that there were only two fortresses, the soldiers had expressions of grief and despair on their faces.

Qin Mo decided to say something to boost morale, but just as he was about to speak, a buzzing sound came from the air.

Everyone was attracted by the buzzing sound and looked up to the sky.

Five black balls suddenly fell from the sky, stopped and suspended at a position half a meter from the ground, and stretched out a mechanical arm in the body to pick up any usable things on the ground.

Seeing that it was his own logistics machinery coming over, Qin Mo looked away, and continued to say something that could boost everyone's morale: "Soldiers, we..."

"Woooooo!"

A low growl sounded.

Not far away lay a deformed body that was full of big holes in its chest but was still alive. The deformed body stood up with a low growl. It staggered forward while dragging an iron pickaxe, staring fiercely at Qin Mo.

A logistics machine happened to search for the surviving deformed body. After the mechanical arm retracted from the body and stretched out again, it had a sword in its hand, quickly beheaded the surviving deformed body, and then recovered the body.

"Don't worry everyone, this is our machine." Qin Mo said to everyone.

The soldiers nodded, then turned their gazes back to Qin Mo, waiting for him to speak what he had been interrupted twice before.

"My compatriots, loyalists of the Emperor, we...wait." Qin Mo suddenly remembered something, and opened the communication channel to the master control intelligence, "What are you doing to recycle the deformed body? Don't tell me it's for eating."

The response of the master control intelligence came out immediately: "According to my inspection and observation, the corpses of the rebels can be reused. After multiple processes, they will be completely non-toxic, and there will be no side effects when using them as nutritional supplements."

"I...forget it." Qin Mo no longer struggled, he also knew that supplies were scarce now, even if the deformed body was made into nutritional ointment just now, he could only eat it by pinching his nose.

The logistics machinery not only recovers the corpses of the enemy, but also recovers the corpses of its own people.

After recovering the body of a dead soldier, the logistics machine walked up to the head of the regiment.

"I'm still alive." The leader was a little flustered, thinking that the machine was going to take him back.

The logistics machinery did not respond, nor could it respond. It paused in silence for a moment, and then opened a square hole in the shell.

When people around were wondering what this meant, a clang was heard suddenly, followed by a square object popping out of the hole and falling into the leader's hand.

The faces of the dead soldiers are engraved on it, and there is a line below: Ashes of the heroic battle dead in the bottom nest.

"..." The leader was a little confused.

Qin Mo heard the voice of the master intelligence: "Humans have the habit of commemorating the dead."

The logistics machinery continued to work, quickly cleared the entire battlefield, and then took off into the air and flew to the next place.

"My lord." While signaling his subordinates to pack the ashes of the deceased, he said, "I will follow your order and go to the position due west to join the friendly forces."

"Okay." Qin Mo nodded, took out the communicator and handed it to the leader: "If you encounter danger on the road, use this to call me. The channel has been adjusted. In addition, if you encounter a psyker, you can also throw this thing out. It has the effect of a psychic suppressor."

"Thank you." The regiment leader nodded and marched west.

After watching everyone leave, Qin Mo ordered to the main control intelligence: "Collect information about other positions as soon as possible."

"Received. The reconnaissance drone is already under construction."

...

night.

The fortress where the 47th regiment is located.

The logistics machinery fell from the sky, put down the metal boxes full of food one by one, and left.

The soldiers received the food, and 10 minutes later, the whole fortress burst into cheers like mountains and seas.

Qin Mo, who was making the fourth set of power armor, was drawn out of the cave by the cheers, and went to the ground to check the situation.

"This stuff is really delicious." Klein walked up to Qin Mo with a box of food, inserted a piece of food into his mouth with a fork, and chewed with a look of intoxication.

Qin Mo glanced at the food in Klein's hand, it was solid synthetic meat.

"Is it delicious?" Qin Mo asked.

"Yeah." Klein nodded vigorously, then glanced at Qin Mo, and hugged the lunch box tightly in his arms: "That boy Gray brought you a copy, I can't share this with you."

"Don't worry, I don't want to share." Qin Mo nodded.

While the two were talking, Gray walked to the cave with two boxes of food, handed one of the boxes to Qin Mo, and put his own box in Klein's hands.

"Are you crazy?" Klein looked at Gray in disbelief. He actually gave himself such delicious food.

Gray didn't say anything, and walked away sullenly.

"Enjoy your delicious food." Qin Mo smiled and put his share of food in Klein's hand, then returned to the cave to continue making.

Klein looked at Qin Mo's back, then looked down at the three servings of food in his hand, lost in thought.
