The Star Gate opened. On the other side, Ling Chen, who was being summoned, was still aware of Ren Xiaosu's will.
Without any hesitation, it pounced at Dusk, which was rolling towards it. The two behemoths, which were rarely seen in the world, clashed, and even the ground looked like it was going to collapse.
Qing Zhen and Xu Man looked at this scene in a daze, feeling an unprecedented shock.
Even Zhou Qi and Luo Lan, who had seen Ling Chen before, felt an inexplicable sense of fear when they saw this behemoth again, much less the two of them.
How many supernatural beings in the world could go up against such a monster? There probably weren't many left.
The abilities of supernatural beings had always been strange and unpredictable. Most of them were not tangible and could not be seen directly.
But now, Ling Chen's strength could be seen directly and was beyond ordinary.
In the past, Xu Man felt that even if Ren Xiaosu was very powerful, he would still not be able to go up against an army.
But Xu Man suddenly realized it was very difficult for him to make a clear summary of Ren Xiaosu's strength. The steam locomotive, White Mask, the explosive ability to pass through the dark clouds, and many other things they had never even heard of before.
The other party was like a real magician who could always come up with unexpected things.
Wasn't it said that supernatural beings only had one ability? Xu Man had heard of people who had two abilities, but two were already considered rare, so what were these countless abilities?
So this was the No. 001 Experimental?
To be honest, Xu Man did not know that the supernatural beings with two abilities he had heard about were actually related to Ren Xiaosu.
One of them was Xu Xianchu, who was the scapegoat, and the other was Wang Congyang.
A loud rumbling sound erupted in the wilderness. When the two behemoths hugged and tore at each other, dust flew into the air, and shockwaves spread out in waves. It was as if the world had changed color.
As Qing Zhen and the others watched, it felt like they were in a bizarre world. It felt very surreal.
Ling Chen and Dusk had lived together for more than 200 years, so they were familiar and close with each other.
Luo Lan looked at the two behemoths fighting each other and suddenly said, "If they are both Ren Xiaosu's pets, and they are being controlled by Zero to fight, Ren Xiaosu must be very sad."
Zhou Qi pursed his lips. "How can you be so sentimental at a time like this? Don't worry about your pets when you can't even survive."
Luo Lan glanced at him. "I still think you're more popular in the silt field."
Zhou Qi did not say anything.
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu drove the steam locomotive back to where Luo Lan and the others were. "Get on."
As he spoke, Ren Xiaosu did not look at Luo Lan and the rest. He stood at the front of the steam locomotive, silently watching the dawn and dusk, occasionally looking around.
He seemed to have no intention of going over to help Ling Chen.
Not far away, Dusk suddenly kicked Ling Chen away and wanted to pounce toward Qing Zhen. However, before it could run away, Ling Chen pounced on it from behind. The two huge lizards were rolling and biting each other in the wilderness, neither of them able to get rid of the other.
If there were no external forces involved in this battle, the two lizards would probably be covered in injuries and exhausted. Neither of them would be able to survive.
However, Ren Xiaosu still did not make a move.
Before Qing Zhen got on the train, he asked Ren Xiaosu, "What are you waiting for?"
Or rather, what was Ren Xiaosu guarding against?
Ren Xiaosu looked at Qing Zhen coldly and said, "There are other dangers."
Before setting off, P5092 had a special talk with Ren Xiaosu. He said to Ren Xiaosu, "Young Marshal, this trip to the Southwest is actually very dangerous. You and I have both experienced the computing power of the AI, so none of our future plans will go smoothly. That's not something to be surprised about."
Ren Xiaosu asked, "Do you think that the AI won't let me successfully bring Qing Zhen out of the southwest?"
"Yes." P5092 nodded and said, "Although it looks like the artificial intelligence is no longer a match for us, and we can destroy everything with our human wave attack alone, we can't do anything about it. In the face of this kind of power that makes people despair, many people forget that it is actually the 'person' who is best at scheming. Sometimes, the development of things that it deduces will be much ahead of us. "
"So what do you want me to do?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"I only hope that you, Young Marshal, leave the battlefield immediately no matter what obstacles you encounter. Don't have any thoughts of lingering on the battle. Also, you have to pay attention to your surroundings at all times and be careful of the AI's backup plans." P5092 turned to Wang Yun and said, "I keep having a feeling that the AI is hiding some backup plans. Can you recall if there were any forces that appeared in the Central Plains that we overlooked that might have been controlled by the AI?"
Wang Yun recalled, "We haven't seen the Wang Clan's special forces unit yet. I don't think the AI will use them as a normal unit, right?"
P5092 shook his head. "They're just a group of normal people. Under the AI's control, everyone can master the skills of the special forces. Their physical fitness might not be comparable to these people, but the special forces aren't that important anymore. Is there anything else?"
"There are a lot of hidden supernatural beings in the Central Plains who haven't appeared yet," Wang Yun said.
P5092 thought for a moment and said, "That's something we need to be wary of. Based on our common sense, the AI can't control supernatural beings. However, no one can be sure that this is the correct 'truth.' If supernatural beings rely on their own willpower to resist being controlled, then what if a supernatural being is captured and tortured until they're on the brink of death? Young Marshal, you'll have to be careful about this. "
Ren Xiaosu nodded.
P5092 asked again, "Anything else, Wang Yun?"
Wang Yun went through his memories over and over again in his mind. The doors in his memory palace opened and closed one after another. It was like Wang Yun was quickly traversing through a narrow maze.
He suddenly said, "The nanosoldiers, the 2,000 Kyung Clan nanosoldiers who fought at Mount Zuoyun but went missing. They're extremely well-equipped, and each of them is equipped with 40-caliber firearms and hanging howitzers. Their physical fitness is comparable to a T3 combatant's for five minutes. "
P5092 said to Ren Xiaosu, "That's right. Not only can the nanomachines control humans, but they can also enhance their physical fitness. Young Marshal, you must be careful of the nanosoldiers on your side. Perhaps the AI has the spare power to build such an army. Moreover, it wasn't easy for the Kyung Clan to gather these 2,000 40-caliber grenade launchers, and they also carry a lot of ammunition. Any supernatural being would probably die if they were to face such highly mobile firepower. "
In P5092's opinion, the AI would definitely have guessed that Ren Xiaosu would bring Qing Zhen and Luo Lan away, so it would definitely have prepared a backup plan.
When the AI was organizing the evacuation in the Northwest and constructing the Tri-Mountain defensive line in the Southwest, it definitely did not idle around either.
Therefore, Ren Xiaosu did not participate in the battle between Midnight and Dusk at this moment because he was waiting for Zero's backup plan.
At this moment, khaki-colored armored vehicles and personnel carriers appeared on the horizon from all directions. Ren Xiaosu could imagine that they were filled with fully-armed nanosoldiers who were even equipped with the maximum equipment a single soldier could carry.
The Southwest and Northwest were currently blind. They did not have any satellites or scouts, so while they were busy retreating and defending, Zero had taken the opportunity to do a lot of things.
If P5092 had not warned Ren Xiaosu earlier, and if Ren Xiaosu had participated in the battle between Midnight and Dusk, it would probably have been very difficult for them to discover these enemy troops who had suddenly arrived.
If they were surrounded by the heavy firepower of 2,000 nanosoldiers, even Ren Xiaosu would be buried here.
Forget 2,000 nanosoldiers, even if 500 of them came, he might not necessarily be able to leave this place alive. Once the hanging howitzers started firing like they were free, who could escape?
Ren Xiaosu said to Qing Zhen and the others, "Get in, let's get out of here."
Luo Lan asked, "Wait, what about your pet this time?"
Ren Xiaosu shook his head. "There's nothing we can do. Perhaps Zero's goal in intercepting us this time is to kill Midnight here."
Midnight was currently Ren Xiaosu's greatest trump card. Without Midnight, Ren Xiaosu's combat strength would be reduced by half and he would have to fight alone again.
However, Ren Xiaosu could not understand why Zero would do this. If Midnight died but Dusk did not, then he would only need to use Northwest Daxing again to get Dusk out of Zero's control.
It was the same with Midnight the last time. Although Zero did not know what the summoning spell was, he could roughly guess what it was, right?
Wait a minute. Ren Xiaosu was stunned.
Before he went to the Central Plains, Zero had asked him, "If I had to choose between Dusk and Luo Lan, what would I choose?"
This question was actually whether to choose a friend of the same race or a pet of a different race.
When it was reflected on Zero, it became a point of contention between Ren Xiaosu and Zero all this time. Would humans treat the creatures of other races as equals? If there were only two choices, how would humans choose to make?
Zero had asked Ren Xiaosu to make this choice again and again, as if to tell Ren Xiaosu that it was not wrong. From the beginning, it was only fighting for the survival of its race. That was all.
Ren Xiaosu looked forlornly at Ling Chen, who was still fighting for his sake. He felt the extremely complicated emotions in his heart keep spreading.
Stay and fight alongside Midnight? Even if it meant death?
At this moment, even if Ren Xiaosu was unwilling, he had to admit that Zero was right. It was difficult for humans to get along with another race as equals.
However, people were not necessarily equal, and the pursuit of absolute equality was a wrong idea in itself.
At this moment, Midnight, who was fighting, suddenly broke away from Dusk and turned around to look at Ren Xiaosu.
Ren Xiaosu saw a hint of a smile in the other party's anthropomorphic expression. Then, the other party resumed fighting with Dusk.
That smile was like Midnight telling him to hurry up and leave.
Ren Xiaosu was not sure if this was Midnight's intention or if he was just imagining it to comfort himself.
Zero did not seem to be doing all this to kill, but to kill.
The nanosoldiers surrounded them from all directions. Ren Xiaosu could already see the ginkgo emblem on the vehicles from afar and confirmed that these were indeed the nanosoldiers that the Kyung Clan had lost.
The steam locomotive started moving and headed north at full speed.
A loud boom rang out behind them. It was the sound of the howitzers bombarding Midnight and Dusk. It sounded like the enemy was trying to kill these two behemoths at the same time.
Ren Xiaosu got out of the locomotive and flipped into the interior of the steam locomotive. He said to Qing Zhen, "Mr. Zhang said that you're very important. I hope that the Northwest will not let us down after sacrificing so much to receive you."
Luo Lan looked out the window and suddenly said, "Wait, I've roughly counted the number of nanosoldiers that are surrounding us. Something doesn't feel right."
Xu Man simply replied, "There's only 1,000 of them. It's still not something we can handle."
Luo Lan said, "I understand, but the problem is, where are the other 1,000?"
