comfortable.

In this hopeless universe, comfort seems to be the greatest happiness.

Even if artillery fire is ringing in your ears, even if the enemy's bayonet is pressed against your chest, just one minute of peace will erode your courage to resist.

Maybe I can survive.

Maybe I won't be the one who gets hurt.

Humans have always harbored such fantasies.

Qin Mo knew perfectly well that these seemingly fierce and menacing underworld gangs were nothing more than losers in the struggle between the capital and the outlying cities. They dared not fight for the rights they deserved from the nobles of the upper city, and instead dared to hide in the underworld, killing each other in the darkness with other pathetic souls.

Now, asking them to fight against truly ferocious demons and aliens terrifies them.

But these people are not without courage; they just haven't been driven to the brink.

What Qin Mo needs to do now is simply to shatter their false illusion of "another night of peace" and make them face reality.

He looked at the gangsters at the bottom of the den, caught in a dilemma due to the questioning, and laughed:

"In fact, you all know in your hearts that this small territory cannot be held for long. You have already witnessed the overwhelming tide of aliens. Soon, you will also witness the chaotic demons from the Sea of ​​Souls."

"Once they decide their victor, we will all be dead before dawn the next day!"

When Qin Mo mentioned the words "alien" and "demon," he clearly saw an overwhelming fear appear on the faces of the gangsters.

"There's only one way to survive!"

Qin Mo coldly looked at everyone and reprimanded, "Take the initiative and try to deplete the monsters' fighting strength to gain room to survive."

As he said this, Qin Mo pulled Judge Irenecia to his side:

"In just half a month, if we can hold out for half a month, the Tribunal's reinforcements will arrive. At that time, you will not only save yourselves and your loved ones, but you will also become heroes of the entire world of Kronos Nest City."

"You no longer need to hide in the dark bottom nest, but can bring your family and friends into the upper nest and enjoy the cheers and praise of everyone."

Qin Mo stopped talking. He had already explained the worst and best possible outcomes. Now all they needed to do was think it over rationally.

A moment later, Hack suddenly became impatient, snatched the gun from Alicia's hand, and fired a shot into the air. The Leytelin shouted:

"Hurry up! If you still have the courage, say something. If you're a coward, get out of here!"

His words sounded like an ultimatum.

Locke, the leader of the Iron Oath, stepped forward first. He looked directly into Qin Mo's eyes and said in a deep voice, "I believe in you. We still remember your kindness. The Iron Oath will obey your command."

Qin Mo saw Hayek supporting a woman in the Iron Oath procession. Hayek bowed slightly to Qin Mo, and the boy's eyes shone with admiration.

Qin Mo nodded slightly and then glanced at the female warriors.

As a bounty hunter who had been in the Underhive for many years, he remembered that these female warriors were known as the "Blood Rose Gang." They ran a business selling banned drugs in the Underhive, and during battles, these female warriors would also use banned drugs as a special kind of stimulant to enhance their combat abilities.

The leader of the Blood Rose Gang was a female warrior with a scorpion tattoo on her forehead. When her eyes met Qin Mo's, the female warrior immediately revealed a hearty smile:

"Blood Rose, you only fear dishonorable death. You can trust us when the time comes."

These female warriors huddled together for warmth in the bottom nest, but they still maintained their pursuit of honor.

Qin Mo gave them a salute with the Heavenly Eagle salute, then turned his gaze to the last group, the "Gunpowder Gang," composed of burly men illegally genetically modified.

"My lord, although your speech is passionate and inspiring, I have seen those aliens in the bottom nest with my own eyes. My cousin died at their hands. If we take the initiative to attack, we have no chance of winning."

A sinister glint flashed in the eyes of the burly man who was leading the group:

"If we refuse your offer, will the 'Anvil' family drive us out of this territory?"

"Stubborn to the end!" Before Qin Mo could reply, Hake was already furious.

He raised his gun and pointed it at the man: "A coward like you deserves to hide in the gutter and stink."

The scene descended into chaos as members of the Gunpowder Gang raised their weapons and aimed them at Hack.

A surge of anger welled up in Qin Mo's heart. Dealing with these people required a combination of kindness and severity, and it seemed he had been too easy to talk to.

"Bang!"

Just then, the burly man who was leading the group suddenly stared blankly and fell heavily to the ground.

Behind him, a relatively short man was holding a pistol, and the muzzle of the pistol was still smoking.

"Hmm?" Qin Mo looked slightly surprised.

The man who had attacked the leader walked straight out and bowed deeply to Qin Mo:

"My lord, I apologize for his foolishness."

As he said this, he turned his head and swept his menacing gaze over them. When their eyes met his, they all showed a hint of fear.

"I can represent the Gunpowder Gang, and we are completely under your command," the man said.

"Very good, what's your name?" Qin Mo nodded.

The man bowed deeply again, placed his hands on his chest, and said, flattered, "My name is Urchin, sir."

"You will lead the entire gunpowder gang. If you do a good job, I will reward you handsomely." A glint flashed in Qin Mo's eyes.

The man who identified himself as Urchin immediately bowed down in fear and trepidation.

In these turbulent times, all the ambitious will jump onto the stage.

Qin Mo exchanged a glance with Eileencia and continued, "Please select your best warriors immediately. Officers from the Inquisition will temporarily lead them. We will choose the right moment to strike and eliminate those damned enemies of humanity."

Although he had temporarily subdued these gangs, Qin Mo would not blindly place his trust in them. The Storm Loyalists under Irenecia's command would serve as the backbone of this temporary army to ensure that his orders were effectively carried out.

Upon receiving Qin Mo's order, everyone immediately got to work. Apart from the selected elite thugs, the other gang members were dispersed and incorporated into the "Anvil" family's defense force to bolster the territory's defensive capabilities.

Eileencia, however, pulled Qin Mo aside and whispered:

"Furina received help from the 'Anvil' family, who used sophisticated instruments to excavate many valuable things from Tina's deep memories."

"But the bad news is that we can't wait even half a month. Those cunning aliens in the bottom nest have acquired a strange technological relic that is enough to destroy all life on this world in a short time."
