Su Mo used the scout robot’s recording mode and recorded the scenarios of the trading camp.

Then, he transformed into his swift road lizard form and hurried to the exit.

After a short while, he passed the three checkpoints and returned to the portal used to enter and exit the trading realm.

The number of people stationed at the first checkpoint was still the same.

The only difference was that the four people on patrol at the arrow tower had swapped to the people who were playing cards due to their morning and night shift.

The remaining dozen or so people no longer gathered outside and chatted. Instead, they had returned to their wooden houses and snored loudly.

They had probably relaxed their vigilance because there had not been any enemies trying to trespass for the past few days.

It could also be that they were confident that even if an unintentional trespasser showed up, their colleagues above in the arrow tower would surely discover them, so there were no big threats.

In their minds, this place was ten times safer than the outside world.

Where else would be safe if enemies attacked them, even in this place?

Su Mo stood transformed into his human form right before the door and leisurely walked through it.

The four people in the arrow tower did not notice and simply nodded their heads as they dozed off.

…

The space transformed and alternated between black and white.

There was a dark space where one must find the portal to enter the secret trading realm.

However, when exiting the secret trading realm, one would be teleported outside the mountain immediately after stepping into the portal.

Su Mo’s vision darkened and brightened. He blinked a few times after reeling he had returned to the outside world. Then, he hurriedly glanced in the direction of where he was lying previously.

Sure enough, with his excellent eyesight combined with the fact that he knew in advance, he could immediately spot a few people lying on the ground with only half their heads exposed.

Among them were no longer only Feng Long and Feng Tianmin but also several other team leaders.

At the same time, Su Mo also noticed the guns exposed behind a few natural obstacles that were ready to open fire at any given time!

Across the distance, Feng Tianmin was overjoyed to see Su Mo waving. He quickly got up and led the people over.

Everyone finally met in a sunken pothole along the way.

“Shelter leader…What’s the situation inside?” Feng Long could not hold back his curiosity and was the first to inquire.

Su Mo took the water bottle handed over by a soldier. He took a few gulps and finally calmed down the burning sensation in his throat after traveling in a hurry. “It’s a huge problem. The inside is not what we’ve imagined. It’s not their base but instead, a shattered secret trading realm which is connected to the other places in the New World or other locations in the wasteland.”

“Huh? A secret trading realm? Doesn’t that mean that the goods smuggled out have already been sold to other places by these people?” Feng Tianmin frowned after realizing the seriousness of the matter.

“Yes, as far as I’ve just observed, there are thousands of people inside, and there is a rule restriction that we can only exit the trading realm through the same entrance. Thus, we can’t exit from other people’s portals. There is no way for us to track and chase after the people who bought the things even if we found out their identity!”

“My god! What are we going to do about this?!” Feng Tianmin had a somber tone after realizing the incident’s consequences.

There were more than 50 soldiers left behind on the snow-capped mountains as support. After receiving the message to provide backup, almost half of them had rushed over.

Everyone thought a fierce battle was about to break out, but no one knew that it would be such a situation.

“Get ready. I didn’t want to startle them just now, but now it’s useless for us to continue waiting.

“We’ll go instead and capture the people they left inside!” Su Mo instructed.

It was almost impossible to retrieve the stolen goods.

There were only four more days before the great cooling disaster, and it did not make sense to leave these people alone anymore.

It was likely that the large number of supplies transported was their last move before the disaster.

After that, they would be busy with figuring out how to get out of Origin Territory and dealing with the aftermath.

There were only two paths for Su Mo to choose from at this point.

First, he could lead the people to surround and suppress the people inside the secret trading realm to obtain evidence of the whereabouts of the supplies and try to recover the previous losses.

Sun Bahu and his stupid team were of no use, and they could find a way to clean them up.

When the disaster strikes, he could come forward and allocate supplies to keep these 30,000 people in the territory alive without too many casualties.

After the disaster, he could disband the territory, select some people and recruit them back to the territory to continue development.

Second, he could still clean up the people in the secret trading realm and, after getting evidence, capture all the moles in Origin Territory.

Then, he could declare to the territory about their deeds in an obscure way and allow Sun Bahu to kill these people.

Through this method, they could inspect the means and strength that Sun Bahu had obtained from the ruins. Additionally, they could see if Sun Bahu had other means to save the current situation.

Everyone would be happy if he had the ability to recover from this.

Otherwise, Su Mo would have to implement the second half of the first option. He would take over the territory and try his best to keep the 30,000 people alive.

“In any case, it seems that there will be a lot of casualties in Origin Territory this time!

“It’s such a pity for a huge human gathering place to be rotten from the core!”

Su Mo raised a handful of snow and slapped it on his face, rubbing it a few times to dispel the drowsiness from not sleeping all night.
