The distance of 10 kilometers could be said to be covered in a blink of an eye for an all-terrain vehicle traveling at full speed.
Soon, a river appeared in front of them.
Yes, this was a river flowing on the Gobi Desert. The centaur tribe called it Keteng River or Yage River.
In the centaur language, Keteng meant "string of pearls". This referred to the fact that there were many oases connected in its basin, which raised the centaur tribe.
The meaning of Yage River was "boundless wild horse", which referred to its changeable and unpredictable flow during the flood season.
This river was a typical inland river. Ordinary rivers would eventually converge into the sea. The further downstream, the more abundant the water.
The inland river was completely different. The most abundant water reached its peak when it converged with several tributaries in the middle. As it went downstream, the water became smaller and smaller. Finally, it completely disappeared in the arid Gobi Desert …
Where there was water, there would be plants. When the plants were lush, there would be more food. Therefore, a huge centaur camp was successfully established here.
The ruler of this camp had a relationship with Fang Linyan, but strictly speaking, it should be an ill-fated relationship.
Because the Ghost Howl that Fang Linyan and the others secretly killed was domesticated by the centaur high priest here: Verogo.
It could be said that Verogo had made a great contribution when he breached the temporary camp of the Hill Giants last night.
Although there was no Ghost Howl leading the team, the ferocious wolf pack controlled by Verogo also had amazing combat power. Not only did they defeat the thylacine raised by the hill giants, but they also attacked the wounded of the hill giants from the side.
Therefore, after the centaur chief Brand Haden rescued the people he wanted to save, he generously promised that Verogo's tribe would be the first to choose the spoils of war this time!
The relationship between Verogo and Ghost Howl was not the ordinary relationship between master and pet. There was even a mysterious contract between the 2. The death of Ghost Howl even caused Verogo's lifespan to lose 5 years.
It could be said that this was the only thing between father and son.
Therefore, one could understand how Verogo felt after hearing the news of Ghost Howl's death. It could be said that he was heartbroken.
He knew very well that the death of Ghastly Howl was inextricably linked to the foreign humans. So this time, Verogo did not hesitate to give up a lot of valuable things and directly took away the humans among the spoils of war.
Its goal was also very simple. It wanted to use these humans as a blood sacrifice for the Ghost Howl to avenge it!
Verogo's tribe deserved this calamity. At this time, most of the warriors in the tribe were still waiting outside the golden tent of Brand Haden, so the strength of the tribe was less than one-third of its peak.
Under normal circumstances, the Bloodbeak Vulture would fly out after daybreak. Firstly, it was to hunt for food, and secondly, it was to provide an early warning.
But now, even the little brats of the Kyrgyz tribe knew that the Hill Giants would most likely want to take revenge after being beaten up so viciously.
Therefore, the flock of Bloodbeak Vultures under the control of the Kyrgyz tribe had all gone to the vicinity of Red Cloud Terrace. Once they noticed any strange movements from the Hill Giants, they would immediately prepare to move the tribe.
Centaurs were a typical nomadic tribe. They would usually move to another place after a fight, so moving was completely normal for them.
But the Hill Giants were clumsy. How could two legs outrun four legs? As long as the Centaurs did not face each other head-on, they would never be able to catch up to them if they wanted to escape.
Therefore, Verogo's tribe had never expected that a group of humans would launch a surprise attack from another direction. Furthermore, they had forced their way in at an astonishing speed. It was as quick as a clap of thunder. They were completely caught off guard.
At this time, Kenny straightforwardly assigned a task.
"Car No. 1, charge in from the front. Car No. 2, circle around from the back. After you get out of the car, leave someone in the car to operate the machine gun on the roof. The car will be out on patrol. Shoot anyone who tries to escape!"
There seemed to be no problem with his arrangement. Even if there was a problem, Kenny did not give anyone time to refute. The two all-terrain vehicles roared as they sped towards the front and back gates of the camp.
Although a few wargs were alerted and roared loudly, they were directly sent flying by the wheels. Then, they were mercilessly shot to death by the machine gun on the roof.
Then, a group of mercenaries armed to the teeth set fire to the camp and started a massacre.
At this time, the mercenaries directly launched a surprise attack. They were the ones with the initiative. Moreover, they had already fought with the Centaurs and obtained sufficient battle information. They knew that the Centaurs' weakness was the stun grenades. The crucial point was the junction between the human body and the horse's body. Therefore, the massacre was not too fast.
Moreover, the remaining warriors of this tribe had just fought a great battle with the Hill Giants the night before, and they were still sleeping soundly as they escorted the captives back. Therefore, by the time Verogo joined the battle, the casualties of this tribe had already reached more than forty percent.
After Verogo appeared, he had just finished off two enemies with lightning bolts. However, he did not know that Kenny and his subordinates had already formulated an extremely sinister plan to counter him.
They pretended to fail. A captive male Centaur had actually escaped from the enemy's encirclement. It let out an ear-piercing screech and charged towards Verogo. Moreover, it was Verogo's favorite concubine.
The bouncy buttocks, the raised mane, the round hooves, the thick lips, the fat barbed tongue, and the sexy white-furred ears had all brought Verogo endless pleasure.
Seeing that the enemy was flustered and exasperated in pursuit, Verogo was overjoyed. He hurriedly cast 3-4 spells to cover himself. Then, when the Centaur caught up to him, he joyfully hugged it in his arms and constantly comforted it.
Seeing this scene, Kenny expressionlessly nodded to the side. Beside him, Ali immediately smirked and pressed a button. Boom! A small backpack on the Centaur's back let out a soft 'kacha' sound.
At this moment, Verogo discovered that a small backpack had unexpectedly appeared on the back of his favorite concubine! Moreover, with the Centaur's technological standards and foresight that belonged to the stone age, he definitely wouldn't know what sort of danger was concealed within that backpack.
In the next second, a violent explosion occurred at Verogo's location! At this moment, Kenny and his direct subordinates had already taken cover in advance.
Within that backpack, was the newest Quark Cloud Bomb!
In an instant, dazzling white light and terrifying shockwaves swept across the entire battlefield. Not only that, an incomparably ear-piercing and terrifying screech resounded throughout the entire camp.
This sound was like the frenzied howls of vengeful spirits, like the despairing screams of evil spirits. It caused intense pain to one's eardrums.
With Verogo as the center, the area within a 50 meter radius underwent a transformation akin to boiling water. A perfectly straight beam of light soared into the sky, and then formed a funnel cloud several thousand meters in the air that spanned over a dozen square kilometers!
After a full ten minutes, the smoke and dust in the area enveloped by the explosion finally dispersed. A large crater with a diameter of over 50 meters could be seen at that location!
The buildings and creatures that were originally located in the large crater were directly pulverized in the previous explosion. Then, the air in the entire area was thrown high into the air by a high-speed tornado in mid-air, forming that terrifying gigantic funnel cloud!
Such an astonishing explosion and terrifying lethality directly wiped out Verogo and his personal guards in one fell swoop!
This was the rescue team's final trump card. Its full name was' Quark Cloud Bomb '. It was even more powerful than the previous' Empress of Snow's Bomb ', and should be considered an upgraded version.
It was classified as an experimental weapon in the military and was not officially installed. More importantly, it was an extremely expensive version that required connections to obtain.
It was unknown how Kenny obtained it, but he couldn't have paid for it out of his own pocket. The price of this' Quark Cloud Bomb 'was at least five to six times the reward for this trip.
Of course, after this explosion, the fighting spirit of the remaining centaurs was completely crushed.
Fear stemmed from the unknown. In the face of such a terrifying and lethal attack, they were completely at a loss. Not to mention, all the brave warriors of the tribe had died in battle.
Therefore, the centaurs in the tribe suffered a great defeat! These centaurs completely lost the will to fight and fled one after another. In just a few minutes, the centaur camp was left with this group of intruders and of course, the captives.
“oh,mygod.....”
All of a sudden, the dazed Miler let out a loud cry.
Then, like a mad bull, he charged towards Kenny with bloodshot eyes and grabbed him by the collar.
"Why! Why didn't you inform me? My men were all at the front and were all swept in by the explosion!! "
Kenny said indifferently.
"This is war, Miler. I'm very grateful for the sacrifice of your men."
At this moment, cheers sounded from the side. At the same time, there were excited shouts and whistles. Then, Wendt and a large group of people carried an unconscious man as they jogged over joyfully!
"We found Ryan!!"
"Oh, hehehehe! This lad's condition doesn't look good, he's been unconscious for a long time. But his vital signs are still very stable. "
"I just checked, there aren't any major problems. Apart from slight dehydration and some external injuries, everything is normal."
"We're rich, we're rich! Wahahaha, this time when we return and sell the ores and samples, Jack will have nothing to say. He will definitely agree to my proposal! "
"What a wonderful day!"
“.....”
Not only that, in less than half a minute, several people were supported over. One of them became emotional upon seeing Kenny, his voice choked with emotion.
"Boss!"
When Kenny saw him, he was also moved. He strode forward and grabbed his shoulder. He said excitedly, "Brother Li, you're the one who saved me.
"Old buddy, you're actually still alive!"
It turned out that this survivor turned out to be Kenny's old buddy, Deaco!
This guy had been pessimistic about the rescue operation at that time, so he stayed at the abandoned thorium mine camp with the wounded. At that time, the rescue team had already contacted Narazi's camp and said that they would come to pick them up soon.
After the two sides parted ways, they soon received news from Narazi's camp that when they rushed over, the abandoned thorium mine camp had already been captured. They did not find any survivors.
When they heard the news, Kenny and the others in the team were very sad.
From the looks of it, it was obvious that the abandoned Thorium camp had been captured by Verogo.
The reason was very simple. Verogo's carefully cultivated Ghastly Howler was killed. His purpose was revenge! And Verogo's revenge was very cruel. He did not order all the captured humans to be executed directly, but tortured them for at least three days before killing them.
Not only that, because there were many wounded in the abandoned thorium mine camp at that time, Verogo wanted to make these damn humans pay a sufficient price before they died, so he started with non-fatal torture from the seriously wounded. (Because he was afraid that it would be too late, the wounded who did not receive treatment would die first.)
These non-fatal tortures were actually very cruel. For example, every hour, he would smash a finger with a stone and so on. When he saw that something was wrong and they were about to die, he would even give them treatment. The purpose was to prolong their suffering.
Therefore, those who were tortured to death were the wounded. Deaco, a healthy guy, was spared. It was worth mentioning that because of the same reason, Deaco's trusted subordinates, Tucker, Morris, and Mahir also survived.
But seeing their companions being tortured to death one by one, and knowing that they would inevitably follow the same path, this kind of psychological pressure was not inferior to torture.
Take Deaco for example. He was originally a very strong man around 35 years old, but now his hair was white and he looked like a little old man.
After being interrupted by this group of people, the grief-stricken Milton was cast aside.
Zhou Shuren once said that everyone's joys and sorrows were not connected.
The sorrow of Milton's men dying couldn't make most of the others feel the same way. What they thought in their minds was the rich bonuses and how to spend their time after returning.
The only ones who could still remain calm were Fang Linyan and the other two. At this time, when Goat saw that the dust had settled, he also exhaled a sigh of relief and said in the team channel,
"SS difficulty is just so-so. We didn't encounter any big problems from the beginning to the end. To be honest, it is far worse than the previous world."
To be honest, Goat's words still made some sense. In the last world, the Bloody Mary they encountered had the strength to wipe them out, not to mention the earthquake later. If the opponent was in its peak state, Fang Linyan and the others would not be able to defeat it.
Hearing Goat's words, Vulture nodded in agreement. Only Fang Linyan narrowed his eyes and didn't comment.
But after Goat said that, Kenny looked around, then walked to the side of the stretcher. He lowered his head to look at the unconscious Ryan and suddenly said, "Don't worry, I'm not going to let you go.
"Have you confirmed his identity?"
A Steel Knight next to him stood up and said in a muffled voice,
"I have just used facial recognition. It shows that there is a 98.81% possibility that it is him, but there is no way to do biological genetic recognition for the time being because there is a lack of samples."
Kenny said faintly,
"No need to be so troublesome."
When he said this, he had already raised his hand, clenched his fist, accumulated power, and swung down …!!
Then in front of everyone, he punched Ryan's throat fiercely!!!
Kenny's body had been severely modified. This right arm was an out-and-out armored mechanical arm; it was a veritable iron fist.
The unconscious Ryan's body was already very weak. Even if he was punched by an ordinary person on his throat, it would be a fatal injury.
Not to mention the terrifying heavy punch of a modified human like Kenny?
Poor Ryan's throat was directly smashed flat. A large amount of blood foam spurted out from his mouth. His eyes rolled back, and his body twitched violently.
Goat and Vulture both opened their mouths wide at the same time. They only felt that their minds were blank.
Immediately, a few people stood out in shock and anger. Mill even pointed at Kenny and roared, "That's right.
"What do you want to do?"
However, as soon as he finished shouting, a Steel Knight standing behind him pulled out the high-frequency battle axe from his waist expressionlessly and slashed down!
Mi Er was split from the top of his head to his crotch, and there was a red line from his glabella to his crotch. Then, he was split into two vertically, and his internal organs flowed out. The scene could be said to be extremely bloody.
Not only that, but everyone also realized that Kenny's Steel Knights were already in position. As long as there were any suspicious movements, all of them would ruthlessly attack. In an instant, a small half of the exploration team's members were killed!
At this moment, Deaco was completely stunned. He said in a trembling voice,
"Kenny, are you crazy? What are you doing! How can you kill Ryan? "
"How can you kill him!!!"
