Chapter 657 It's a promise!
I groggily woke up from my dream; it was already the morning of the next day.
Mo Chen opened his eyes. The morning sunlight was already shining through the window into the living room of the house.
There was a soft blanket on her, most likely put there by Rosemary.
She was still as considerate as ever, perfectly fulfilling her responsibilities as a shovel-like android.
Mo Chen did not get up immediately, but quietly leaned back on the sofa.
He raised his hand, his fingers unconsciously stroking his lips, as if he could still feel the softness and warmth of Adele's lips.
The sweet, cloying pheromones of the Enchanting Mushroom Spirit seemed to still linger at the tip of his nose, but as Mo Chen left the dream, that enchanting feeling gradually became illusory until it disappeared completely.
The bright sunlight cast dappled shadows on the floor, and the touch of Adele's hair seemed to linger on his fingertips.
But the harsh reality quickly spread throughout my body with the sofa behind me, completely dispelling the tenderness of my dream.
"Three days..."
Mo Chen repeated the time in a low voice, pondering in his heart how to find Adele and rescue her from the clutches of the Redemption Path.
First, I must not act alone in the name of "Courtyard No. 5905"; I must bind myself to other larger forces or factions.
Only in this way can the homeowner's identity be exposed without attracting deliberate targeting from the Road to Salvation.
The best option at present is undoubtedly to set off with the Aomori Rangers, who have gathered a large number of people and allies.
To uphold justice in the world, chivalrous heroes who hate evil will stop at nothing.
More importantly, they were mortal enemies of a heinous criminal organization like Redemption Road.
Although it's not a very nice thing to say, Mo Chen does need a force larger than Courtyard No. 5905 to attract the attention of those who walk the Path of Redemption.
Secondly, Mo Chen must find out exactly where the underground stronghold of the Redemption Road is located.
He could never wander around aimlessly like a headless fly, wasting time searching and traveling.
The intelligence provided by Yingyu included the crucial information that "Adele is being held captive in an underground base."
That outpost must also be the location of Redemption Road's branch in War Zone 59.
Adele is one of the five highlight lots they prepared for this auction, so its importance is self-evident.
Mo Chen didn't believe that the Redemption Path would lock Adele in some small shop, nor was he afraid that she would be casually thrown away by a passing Shi Gong.
He opened his personal terminal and projected a holographic map showing the entire 59th war zone.
If the Redemption Path's stronghold is located underground, then it must be in an area with complex terrain within the ruined city.
After a careful search, and with Prometheus's analysis of various situations, Mo Chen finally focused his attention on the southwestern suburbs of War Zone 59.
The largest old-world subway hub in this abandoned city is located there, boasting an incredibly vast underground space.
If we adopt the perspective of the Redemption Path, the probability that they chose this "auspicious location" as their branch is naturally very high.
Not only does it have a solid, deep foundation, but it also has an intricate network of tunnels. With just a little modification and expansion, it could become a long-term stronghold for a wicked criminal syndicate.
More importantly, based on the intelligence obtained by Prometheus after hacking into the inner network of the WorldNet (the old-era Internet), there is another very important reason why Mo Chen judged that the Path of Redemption would choose this place.
Underground at that coordinate location, there exists a nuclear reactor that is still in operation today, and its energy output is sufficient to sustain an underground facility for at least 10,000 people.
After figuring out the location of the underground stronghold where the Redemption Road branch was located, Mo Chen still needed to consider what preparations he should make before setting off.
If you go alone, you might feel a bit isolated and helpless.
That's why he needs to select a few plant spirit warriors to accompany him.
Because too many Plant Spirit Warriors had been taken away previously, the defensive strength of their own War Garden was insufficient.
Mo Chen decided that this time the number of people must be kept to no more than five, and that too many high-end combat forces that could provide backup should not be taken away at once.
Finally, there are a few courtyard matters that Mo Chen needs to handle before setting off.
Firstly, it was to receive Major General Canon, who was about to arrive at Courtyard 5905, and to arrange for Simmons to meet with him.
Secondly, it depends on whether Chongfeng, after concluding internal negotiations, is willing to sign a contract and accept long-term employment from Courtyard No. 5905.
Thirdly, it is necessary to make arrangements for all matters concerning the courtyard in the next few days to ensure that the courtyard at No. 5905 can continue as usual and develop steadily during his absence.
Just as Mo Chen was patiently sorting out his chaotic thoughts, familiar footsteps came from behind him.
"Honey, are you awake?"
Rosemary's gentle voice rang in Mo Chen's ears, accompanied by the aroma of breakfast.
She carried a tray full of delicious food to Mo Chen's side and gently placed the plate on the coffee table.
Brightly colored sandwiches, steaming hot milk, fragrant grilled bacon, and perfectly round fried eggs...
Rosemary skillfully folded up the blanket that Mo Chen had lifted and placed aside, and put it in the corner of the sofa.
"Breakfast is ready. It's better to avoid making decisions on an empty stomach."
Looking at the excessively lavish breakfast before him, and then at Rosemary's beautiful smiling face that seemed to say "you must finish it all," Mo Chen's tense nerves relaxed a little.
"Thanks, rosemary."
Mo Chen picked up the sandwich, took a bite, and mumbled his thanks.
"It's my duty, my dear."
Rosemary bowed slightly, then took a step back, her gaze falling on the map projected by Mo Chen: "Are you going to the ruined city again?"
"Okay, let's go find the Enchanting Mushroom Spirit in our courtyard number 5905."
Mo Chen took a sip of milk and briefly explained the whole story to Rosemary.
"No wonder you came home so late yesterday, so that's why..."
Rosemary murmured softly, a strange emotion flickering in her eyes.
But she didn't say anything. She just walked behind Mo Chen and gently rubbed her homeowner's shoulder.
“Darling, if needed, I can go with you.”
Rosemary paused, then gave a perfectly timed, polite smile: "After all, it seems like it's been a long time since I've gone out for a stroll with you."
"Okay, Rosemary, I promise you."
Realizing that he hadn't had much time to spend with Rosemary these past few days, Mo Chen readily accepted her suggestion.
He turned to look at Rosemary behind him, a hint of tenderness in his voice: "When we get back, I'll spend a whole day with you, okay?"
"real?
Having received the reward she wanted, Rosemary's cheeks flushed slightly.
She leaned down and gently placed a kiss on Mo Chen's cheek, her movements as soft as a morning breeze.
"Then, darling, it's a deal!"
