This blitzkrieg started and ended very quickly. When the wolves behind the Li Consortium's platoon began their surprise attack, their originally complete defensive formation began to crumble rapidly.
Only the remaining officer was still dodging the attacks quickly, but it looked like he would not be able to hold on for much longer. When Ren Xiaosu saw the officer's blood vessels, which had turned silver due to the use of nanomachines, gradually dimming, he knew the officer's nanomachines were about to run out of energy.
Suddenly, the Wolf King bit the officer's waist from behind. Then with a violent jerk of its head, the officer fell to the ground as though his body had fallen apart.
Even a beast as strong as the Wolf King still prioritized sneak attacks. There was no justice to speak of in battles in this world, and the outcome was what mattered most.
Ren Xiaosu could not help but say, "Um … there's something I don't know if I should tell you!"
The Wolf King turned around and looked at him in confusion. Ren Xiaosu pointed to the officer in the mouth of another wolf and took out a small bottle of black medicine. "Let's trade."
With a look from the Wolf King, the wolf put the officer down. The officer was still breathing, and his injuries were not considered fatal. He was only on the verge of going into shock.
When he saw Ren Xiaosu, he was already shocked. He did not expect this young man to appear here, nor did he expect Ren Xiaosu to be able to make a deal with the wolves!
Ren Xiaosu wondered if he had betrayed humanity by making a deal with the killer wolves.
After the wolves massacred the entire outpost, they reorganized themselves on the spot. Then they picked up the corpses on the ground and prepared to head back into the mountains.
The wolves did not stay any longer. Ren Xiaosu saw that the white fur of a few of the wolves was stained red with blood. It looked like they urgently needed to go back and treat their injuries.
After the wolves left, Ren Xiaosu crouched down next to the officer. "Can I ask you something? How do you guys usually recharge the nanomachines?"
Ren Xiaosu had operated the nanomachines many times in the past. But it was also during this process that Ren Xiaosu realized the nanomachines were completely powered by the human body's own biological energy.
But the downside of this was that the nanomachines needed to be "charged" for a long period of time in the body after being used once, and the subsequent use of the nanomachines was not very long.
Therefore, after gaining a deeper understanding of the nanomachines, Ren Xiaosu always felt that the Li Consortium's nanomachines still had some flaws. If they could not solve the energy problem, then the nanomachines would likely become useless in a high-intensity battle on a real battlefield.
Of course, Ren Xiaosu guessed that the Li Consortium's army had other ways to quickly replenish their energy.
Wait, Qing Zhen seems to be the most knowledgeable in energy right now. After all, nuclear energy is one of the most efficient energy sources in the world.
The officer turned pale and kept his mouth shut. Ren Xiaosu said, "Look, your injury is not fatal. If you answer my question, you might still be saved."
"If you let me go back, will you still be able to live?" The officer clenched his teeth and sneered, "Do you dare to let me go back?"
"Prodding won't work." Ren Xiaosu realized the Li Consortium's officer was quite strong-willed. In the end, he was still a little different from the private troops. He said, "Recharging your nanomachines with biological energy is too slow. Y 'all should have some kind of special charging method, right? Otherwise, how could you sustain a high-intensity battle?"
The officer closed his eyes and refused to say anything.
"You were probably almost out of energy at the end of the battle, right?" Ren Xiaosu said slowly, "You only fought for a little over ten minutes. How could a real battle last that long?"
The soldier opened his eyes in surprise. "Why are you so interested in nanomachines? Why do you even know so much about them? You're just a normal soldier in the private troops! "
He also realized something was wrong. He even suspected that Ren Xiaosu also had nanomachines on him! Wait a minute, they really did have the missing nanomachines. It was the same batch of nanomachines carried by the two missing officers they were investigating!
But how could that be possible? Putting aside the question of whether the young man in front of him could kill two elite soldiers carrying nanomachines, even if he could, the nanomachines on them would have to be sent back to headquarters to be unlocked before they could be rematched!
So even if the young man in front of him obtained the nanomachines, he wouldn't be able to use them!
Why?
He had a nagging feeling that something had gone wrong. He really wanted to report this matter to the General Staff, but he no longer had the chance!
"Don't expect me to violate confidentiality rules," the officer said, struggling.
Ren Xiaosu sighed and said, "Forget it, I respect you for being a man."
At this moment, he realized he still could not underestimate the combat troops of the consortiums. It was not only the Kyung Clan's troops that were powerful. All the consortiums in the world had something to rely on.
Without such strong troops, the consortiums would not be able to stand tall in these wastelands.
Ren Xiaosu waited for the officer to slowly stop breathing. Then he quietly watched as a silvery liquid seeped out of the officer's body. He was already familiar with the process. He patiently waited for the palace to restore this batch of nanomachines to their factory settings and perform a series of other operations.
The harvest this time was not considered much. After all, only one person carried nanomachines, so the number of nanomachines he carried was only half of what he had carried last time.
The boxing gloves were still just boxing gloves and did not change much. However, Ren Xiaosu was no longer in a hurry. After all, there were definitely many more officers from the Li Consortium who carried nanomachines. He could slowly accumulate them.
Suddenly, Ren Xiaosu thought of a problem. Since he could use the palace to refresh the nanomachines, did that mean he could distribute some of the extra nanomachines to the students in the future?
Chen Wudi definitely did not need them. To be honest, it was still very difficult for Ren Xiaosu to figure out just how strong Chen Wudi was. If they were to really go all out in a fight, it would be hard to say if Chen Wudi could defeat his disciple.
However, Ren Xiaosu did not mind it too much. After all, in Journey to the West, even the master could not defeat his disciple. Thinking of this, he felt more at ease.
Ren Xiaosu controlled the shadow clone to carry the officer's body. He was prepared to sink the body into the lake as well. After all, the body could not be left behind. It did not make sense for the wolf pack to take away everyone but leave the officer behind.
Moreover, it would be a real problem if the people who rushed over to investigate discovered that the nanomachines on him were gone.
No matter what, Ren Xiaosu did not want the Li Consortium to find out that he could restore the nanomachines to their factory settings. Otherwise, the Li Consortium would definitely hunt him down to the ends of the world.
An hour later, Ren Xiaosu stood on the shore of the small lake in the mountains and felt a little melancholic. The lake was not that big to begin with. If he were to throw more things into it in the future, would the water level of the entire lake rise?
By the time he finished disposing of the corpses, it was already late at night. Ren Xiaosu was not in a hurry to return to the outpost. Instead, he headed into the mountains.
There were no howls coming from the mountains tonight, so Ren Xiaosu wanted to see if the wolves were seriously injured.
