Was it the work of a wolf? No, it wasn't.
That team member's silver snake was equipped with additional recording equipment and transmitted the image back through the nanomachines' neural connection technology. So even though the black shadow that flashed by was extremely fast and the image was extremely blurry, he was very sure that the other party was not a wolf.
Captain Zhou looked at him and wondered, "What else could it be if not a wolf?"
"It's more like … a shadow," the team member said. But at this moment, he exclaimed again, "Oh no, the silver snake is getting out of my range of control!"
As he spoke, he chased after it, trying to maintain his control over the nano silver snake. However, his speed was worlds apart from that of the other party. Before he could even take two steps, the silver snake had completely disappeared from his neuronal connection!
Captain Zhou's expression darkened. He didn't think they would encounter any danger here, but no one could have expected that they would lose a portion of their nanomachines less than three hours after entering the mountains!
And they didn't even know who did it or what their motive was!
If the other party were a human, why would they snatch the silver snake nanomachines? Did it seem like they could use them just because they got their hands on them?
"Captain, what should we do now?" someone asked.
Captain Zhou asked with a cold expression, "Which direction did he run off to?"
"Southwest!" the team member said.
"Chase after him." Captain Zhou said, "It's just one person. Use the radio to call the neighboring outpost. We've discovered a new target that might be more important than the wolves. Tell them that we'll be pursuing this target with all our might and will temporarily withdraw from the wolf encirclement operation."
Actually, Captain Zhou was the only person in the entire team who knew what was going on. He knew very well what they were here for. There was no need to rush the encirclement of the wolves. It was more important to ensure that the nanomachines were not damaged.
…
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu had just received the silver snake nanomachines from the shadow clone. He had thought that if he wanted to seize the nanomachines this time, he might have to face a fierce battle. If that happened, it would not be worth it. He preferred to fight solo nanosoldiers.
But sometimes, his luck was like someone handing him a pillow when he was dozing off. There was actually someone who took the initiative to deliver the nanomachines to him.
In just two seconds, the palace had restored the nanomachines to their factory settings and cleared their connection programs. The tiny silver snake nanomachines turned back into a silver liquid and merged with Ren Xiaosu's nanomachines.
This time, the nanomachines were as good as free.
However, Ren Xiaosu was a little depressed. The size of the silver snake was too small. He had to control his shadow to find one with great difficulty. If he were to search for them one by one, how long would it take?
No! Ren Xiaosu's eyes suddenly lit up!
…
Lin Qi and the others continued to go deeper into the forest, but they did not go up the mountain. Instead, they went down the col to the bottom of the valley.
"Captain, why don't we stop chasing after them?" Lin Qi said guiltily, "It's just a silver nano snake. I'm worried that something might happen if we go too far."
Captain Zhou glanced at him and said, "How can you be a soldier if you're afraid of death? The wolf pack isn't in our direction. What's there to be afraid of? Let's keep going! "
As they spoke, one of the team members suddenly lowered his voice and exclaimed, "Captain, look at the valley!"
Everyone looked into the valley and saw a black shadow flash by. The other party seemed to have stopped there to rest, but they did not expect Captain Zhou and the others to chase them all the way here!
"Don't let him get out of our pursuit range again!" Captain Zhou said coldly.
In an instant, the remaining four silver nano snakes chased after the black shadow. Meanwhile, the others were sprinting through the wilderness with a silver glow coursing through their veins.
An uncountable number of nanomachines were surging through their bodies. With just a thought, they could instantly form intricate auxiliary machinery in their bodies to help them increase their physical strength.
Strictly speaking, the strength and speed of these nanomachines could no longer be considered that of ordinary humans. They were supernatural beings created by technology!
The nanosoldiers ran through the rocks like they were running on flat ground. Some of them could even cross a distance of ten meters with a single leap!
The gunfire was like a tidal wave. As they chased after the black shadow, they focused their fire on it in an attempt to blast it into pieces with a powerful line of fire.
But even though they were physically strong, the recruits who had never been trained in firearms before could not even aim properly while moving at high speeds.
"Don't waste your firepower by shooting." Captain Zhou said coldly, "Let's catch up to him first."
But during the pursuit, only the soldier controlling the silver nano snakes was a little puzzled. The speed at which the black shadow was moving was slower than the speed at which it had escaped after capturing the snakes.
But as he did not have any combat experience, he did not dare to make a careless judgment of the situation.
Seeing that the distance between them and the black shadow clone was still closing, the silver snakes were already closing in on it. However, the black shadow clone reached back and reached for something. Then it suddenly sped up and disappeared!
The speed at which the black shadow clone sped up shocked Captain Zhou and the others. Was that guy even fucking human?
But what the fuck was he thinking? If he could run so fast, couldn't he have run faster earlier?
But a moment later, the nanosoldier controlling the silver snakes caught up to them, panting. "This is bad!"
His nanomachines had been used to form the silver snakes for scouting purposes. So once the troops gave chase at full speed, his speed would fall behind.
Captain Zhou frowned and said, "What's the matter?"
The nanosoldier said in despair, "All the silver snakes have been captured …."
It wasn't until this moment that everyone realized the supernatural being was only doing this to slowly pull the silver snakes together so that it would be easier for the enemy to capture them all in one fell swoop.
The enemy had been targeting the silver snakes right from the start!
What? Did he think it wasn't fast enough to capture the silver snakes one by one at the beginning?
Captain Zhou stood on top of a rock, thinking of retreating.
But now, one of the nanosoldiers had all his nanomachines forcibly taken away before they even saw the wolves. Was it right for a nanosoldier to not have any nanomachines?
In the past, he felt it was a good idea to use the nanomachines as a scouting device. This way, the efficiency of scouting would be greatly improved.
After this incident, Captain Zhou felt it was necessary for him to go back and tell the General Staff that this method would not work. Someone was purposely stealing the nanomachines for fun.
"Retreat." Captain Zhou said coldly, "We can't continue the pursuit."
After weighing the pros and cons, he felt that if they continued the pursuit, they might suffer even more losses. It was obvious that they were not on the same level as the enemy, so it was necessary to cut their losses in time.
But at this moment, the howling of the wolves came from the hillside not far from them. Captain Zhou's expression darkened!
