It wasn't until Lin Qi and the others discovered the problem with Captain Zhou that they realized he might be carrying a device in his backpack that could recharge the nanomachines wirelessly.
It was also because of this device that everyone's nanomachines were slowly running out of energy, while Captain Zhou's was still fine.
At this dangerous moment, Lin Qi and the others thought that if they could use this recharging device, their chances of survival would definitely be higher.
So Lin Qi and the others looked at each other and were about to ask for Captain Zhou's backpack.
But before they could say anything, the forest behind them suddenly turned chaotic. It was as though some giant beast was moving through it.
"Oh no, the wolves are catching up!" Captain Zhou shouted, "Run!"
The others had no chance to say anything else and could only continue running for their lives!
But when they realized the wolves were chasing them from behind, they had already surrounded them from both sides. When they saw this, they could only speed up for fear that the wolves would catch up to them!
Some of the nanosoldiers whose nanomachines were running out of energy immediately fell behind, but their comrades had no intention of helping them at all.
Meanwhile, they only got more and more desperate as they ran. Some of them even forgot that they still had guns with them to defend against the wolves.
Ren Xiaosu sighed as he hid on a hillside and watched the scene unfold. The Li Consortium had indeed sent them here to die. If this was a squad of nanosoldiers made up of the Li Consortium's soldiers, the enemy would have retreated in an orderly fashion and definitely wouldn't have been routed so unilaterally.
At the end of the day, they were just normal people who could control nanomachines.
Some of them might not even be as mentally strong as normal people.
However, what Ren Xiaosu wanted to know more was what the Li Consortium's elite nanosoldiers were like.
"Eh?" Ren Xiaosu noticed something different about Captain Zhou. He was surprised to find that the nanomachines' energy did not seem to be weakening.
What was going on?
A moment later, the wolves on both sides suddenly pincer attacked and forcefully split the fleeing nanosoldiers in two. It was only at this moment that the nanosoldiers who were being attacked finally remembered that they were still carrying guns on their backs. So they immediately wanted to open fire.
But they were so stupid that they even forgot to turn off the safety of their guns!
Some of them drew their sabers from their waists. They were close-quarters weapons specially issued to them by the Li Consortium to make use of the nanosoldiers' superb physical fitness.
For these nanosoldiers, sabers were much more useful than guns when it came to close combat!
Ren Xiaosu looked at the sabers in their hands from a short distance away. He realized that the blades were orange in color, while the blades were the same silver color as the nanomachines.
When the blade slashed at the wolf pack, the silver blade even had a kind of undulation, as if a layer of ripples was constantly spreading.
Ren Xiaosu was puzzled. Could the blade also be made of nanomachines?
When one of them slashed the body of a wolf, the side of the wolf's abdomen split open like a candle meeting a hot blade!
When the wolves saw how powerful the weapon was, they immediately stopped charging head-on. Instead, they attacked from behind!
Captain Zhou, Lin Qi, and the others continued to run for their lives without looking back. However, if they did not think of a way out, they would still die. Even Captain Zhou, who was full of energy, was no exception, because he could not run as fast as a wolf!
"Who has the cluster bombs? Give them to me now!" Captain Zhou roared. In the face of death, even his commanding voice sounded a little hoarse.
Someone's expression changed. "There are still teammates behind us!"
At this moment, there were still people firing from within the wolf pack. This meant that not all of the people trapped inside were dead yet!
Captain Zhou said coldly, "If you want to sympathize with them, go back and save them. Otherwise, don't pretend to be righteous to me. Aren't they the ones who abandoned their companions and ran away?"
Everyone fell silent. However, someone could not help but say, "Are you trying to blow up your comrades?"
"Comrades?" Captain Zhou sneered and said, "You're not worthy to be my comrades. There are still ten cluster bombs in the group. Take them out."
After that, someone took out several bombs from his backpack.
When Ren Xiaosu saw this from a short distance away, his expression changed. These people had even brought cluster bombs with them?!
Although the wolf pack could withstand bullets, the cluster bombs could not. If a few of the wolves were blown up, wouldn't his mission be over?
Thinking of this, he controlled his shadow clone and charged into the battlefield. Ren Xiaosu also shouted at the Wolf King from behind in a low voice, "Stop chasing them, stop chasing them! There's danger! "
Most of the wolves suddenly stopped in their tracks. However, one of the wolves had already shown its savagery and was about to charge forward again after killing a few nanosoldiers. This wolf was second only to the Wolf King in terms of physique, and Ren Xiaosu would usually see it guarding the Wolf King like the Left Guardian.
But the moment the wolf charged forward, the shadow clone had already rushed in front of it, picked it up, and ran back!
The wolf got anxious and howled like crazy. However, the shadow clone did not care about what it was howling at and decisively carried it away!
At this moment, the Wolf King's expression changed when he saw the shadow clone. This thing was so strong?!
Captain Zhou and the others pulled off the safety pins of the cluster bombs and were about to throw them at the wolves behind them. However, they were surprised to find that the wolves had stopped chasing them at some point in time. There was even a wolf that wanted to pounce on them, but it was carried away by a black shadow in the opposite direction and was getting further and further away.
This scene dumbfounded Lin Qi and the others. What was the meaning of this? Why were they not chasing them anymore?
And why was that black shadow blocking that wolf from charging at them?
It wasn't that they had never seen the world before, but the scene in front of them was simply too unbelievable. Someone looked at the smoking cluster bombs and asked, "Are we still going to throw them?"
"Of course we are!" Captain Zhou said as he threw the bomb in his hand. If they weren't going to throw it, were they going to blow themselves up?
But even if they threw it, they would not be able to hit a single wolf! Had this pack of wolves gained intelligence?
A loud explosion reverberated through the wilderness. All the birds in the wilderness were so frightened that they flew into the sky like a dark cloud circling above them.
The Wolf King quietly stared at the smoke and leaves flying in the air from the explosion. It had already experienced the firearms and explosives used by humans, so it did not panic too much.
It looked at Ren Xiaosu and nodded as though expressing its gratitude. If Ren Xiaosu had not stopped them in time, the wolf pack would probably have suffered heavy casualties.
Of course, Ren Xiaosu could not say that it was because of the mission. Actually, even without the mission, Ren Xiaosu would not have left them in the lurch. After all, they were working together as partners.
He looked at the nanosoldiers that the wolves had killed. The silver nanomachines in the corpses were seeping out from under the skin. Ren Xiaosu did a quick count and found that the wolves had killed nine nanosoldiers in one attack. Their efficiency was already quite high, but unfortunately, many of Lin Qi and the others had managed to escape due to the cluster bombs.
