Chapter 4: Boosting Morale

……

Refuge on the ground.

Chen Mo had been out for a while, and the surviving people couldn't wait for the three of them to come back, so they walked out of the shelter and watched.

These men had just been released, and the ferocious rebels had already scared them so much that they did not dare to leave the shelter even a meter away, for fear that they would be imprisoned again.

"It's back!"

I don't know who shouted.

In the midst of all the hopeful eyes, a centaur troop carrier came into view and drove towards the shelter.

The troop carrier quickly stopped, the hatch opened, and Chen Mo and the others jumped out of it.

"Praise the Emperor!"

"The Emperor blesses you!"

“……”

The crowd erupted in shouts of excitement.

With this troop carrier, there is a glimmer of life, otherwise the rations of so many people are indeed an unsolvable problem.

It's not just about rations, this personnel carrier with two heavy machine guns can also protect the shelter, and in case of encountering a large number of enemies, let alone annihilating them, it is still possible to cover the escape of everyone.

"Brothers and sisters, I saw a miracle!" Karl ran up to the crowd and told the story with a gesture.

In this regard, Chen Mo didn't think there was anything that shouldn't be.

Miracle events helped to boost the confidence of those present and give them more strength to emerge from despair.

That's why, in this universe, the imperial truth is gone, and the state religion has emerged.

"You must be the Emperor's messenger!"

"We will follow you to the death!"

People knelt down on one knee at Chen Mo, even Karl.

Everyone is grateful to Chen Mo for saving them, and is willing to follow this person who can show miracles.

And Xu Yi didn't kneel, because he was too familiar with Chen Mo, and this worker who used to steal factory parts became an angel, and he was somewhat unaccustomed to it.

"Every morning from now on, we will gather in front of this troop carrier and repeat the words of praise to the god of all machines, praise the soul of the machine, and so on." Chen Mo announced to everyone.

"We will obey!" People nodded vigorously.

"Also, from now on I will offer boys and girls to this troop carrier." Chen Mo said as he hugged a little boy and a little girl, and slid the tip of their noses with his index finger: "Let's start with you first." ”

Hearing this, everyone else burst out laughing, and they all knew that what Chen Mo was saying was a joke, just like when they sat around before.

"No kidding, let's go, let's eat." Chen Mo got up and left.

The people followed one into the shelter and prepared a psionic barbecue.

No one noticed that the centaur troop carrier's engine was still not turned off, even though the fuel was already zero.

On the unmanned console screen, a message emerges.

"T892 centaur troop carrier, report your location, I want to find your master."

"Checking the coordinate positioning system...... Karsk VII. ”

"Roger, remember that the God of All Machines has given you knowledge and a mission."

"I will, praise the God of Chances. T892 offline. ”

"Praise be to the God of all machines. UR-025 offline. ”

At this point, the system shuts down and the engine stops.

……

Early the next morning.

"Praise the God of Machines, and praise Omnisaiah."

Chen Mo held a pattern of gears woven by a woman and pasted it on the body of the centaur troop carrier.

Chen Mo had too many questions about the machine soul and talent, including when he read the sentence just now.

What was it that blessed him?

The Mechanic belief in a god does not actually exist, and its main body is either the Martian Void Dragon or the Emperor himself.

Last night, when Karl said that he would also praise the emperor, the troop carrier spewed black smoke and choked him, which showed that the spirit of the troop carrier did not agree with the emperor.

Then it can only be the Void Dragon?

It doesn't seem right.

Could that be...... The tentacle monsters on Mars really worshiped a subspace mekhan, right?

But that's not right, if there really is, I should have known what the machine god was in my previous life.

"Lance said he knew of a Flame Angel's stronghold, where there were a lot of people and supplies."

"It's just that there are a little more enemies, maybe more than two hundred, but this is still a situation of lax defense, because most of the rebels have gone to the ceremony."

While Chen Mo was thinking about the question, Xu Yi stepped forward and said something.

"What's that?" Chen Mo asked.

"A nobleman's private arsenal that seems to be plotting a scheme, but in the end the Flame Angel rebels kill him along with his plan. Lance was once a slave of the nobleman, who he said was an alien nobleman who was allowed by the Governor to stay on the planet because he could produce many good things. Xu Yi replied.

Hearing this, Chen Mo thought for a moment, and then nodded: "We went over, but this time it was mainly reconnaissance rather than attack, and we can't make mistakes like last time." ”

"Yes." Xu Yi nodded, "I'll call Carl and the others who can fight." ”

After Xu Yi left and came back again, everyone who could fight was called over.

Among them were not only Carl and the old man of the Planetary Guard, but all the men and all the women, and even the children.

There are definitely not enough weapons, so most people are holding iron rods and other things that are not weapons.

"Are we going shopping, how do we drag our family with us?" Chen Mo frowned.

"We're going to fight too!" A woman said in a loud voice, "For the God of All Machines, for the Emperor!" With the presence of miracles with you, we will surely win! ”

"That's right, we're going to give the traitor a little color."

"These rebels killed my wife, and I want to avenge her!"

"For the Emperor! Destroy this group of rebels, protect our brothers and sisters, and take back our homeland! ”

Others responded.

Chen Mo could see that yesterday's miracle had indeed boosted the confidence and morale of these people, but the boost was a bit too much.

Healthy adults can indeed fight together, but what are the little ones for?

Besides, the shelter is not defenseless, and even if the enemy can't find it, the beast can always come, and if you don't want to expel the beast, you have to catch the beast and eat it.

"Well, healthy adults come with me, thirty of them, and the rest will stay in the shelter." Chen Mo thought of a compromise.

So he at once picked out thirty men, both men and women, all of whom were very healthy and not so thin.

As for weapons, except for a small number of people who have standard weapons such as laser guns, the rest are still iron rods or something.

After getting ready, Chen Mo jumped into the troop carrier and marched towards the arsenal with the selected thirty people.
