The battle did not stop. After Ren Xiaosu brought Chen Wudi back from the rear, the battle at the front line was still going on fiercely. But when the Kyung Clan's soldiers rushed to the high ground, the battle became a stalemate.
While the fighting was going on elsewhere, Ren Xiaosu had returned to the high ground and was ready to start a fire to cook. After all, he had brought the pots and pans with him, and it was indeed mealtime.
Ren Xiaosu felt that while the battle was going on, eating should not be delayed. Moreover, Chen Wudi wanted to eat bacon fried rice right now.
When Li Qingzheng heard the artillery roar from the high ground next to them, he hesitated for a moment before asking, "Wouldn't it be inappropriate for us to eat at this time?"
"What's wrong with that?" Ren Xiaosu lit the firewood and set it on the iron pot. "Didn't we complete our mission? Besides, we're still fighting. The infantry regiment is still holed up on the mountainside."
The infantry regiment's commander had not been sacrificed yet, so he did not want to attack the high ground anymore. But the crux of the matter was that they had rushed to the mountainside to provide laser guidance for the missiles at the rear. In the end, they were trapped here by Qing Zhen. As long as they looked up, they would be bombarded by bullets. Without the cover fire from the rear, they would not be able to escape even if they wanted to!
This battle made the infantry regiment's commander feel like dying!
At this moment, Li Qingzheng said, "There aren't many people left in the infantry regiment. Why don't we charge down there and let them break through?"
Ren Xiaosu decisively refused. "Our mission is to defend this high ground. Once we do that, we'll be done with it!"
Regardless of whether there would be any casualties if they charged down there, even if there were no casualties, Ren Xiaosu did not want to take the risk. After all, they had been sent to the most dangerous place, and this had already made Ren Xiaosu very unhappy.
The people from the medical center had scolded Chen Wudi just now, but did they really think that it was their own decision to send the Heroes Battalion to the front line?!
Even without Ren Xiaosu, the Kyung Clan's attack on Position 313 was just a feint. But even if it was a feint, they would still fucking attack with live ammunition. It was just that the firepower was a little less, but a lot of people would still die.
A feint was not just standing there shouting without fighting!
While they were talking, Ren Xiaosu had already cooked the rice and started cutting the bacon.
One group of soldiers from the Heroes Battalion went to guard the high ground, while the other group squatted beside the cauldron and waited for the meal to be served.
As Ren Xiaosu was cooking, he diverted some of his attention to the palace. He remembered what the palace had said earlier, but Chen Wudi was being scolded at that time, so he did not hear it clearly.
When Ren Xiaosu saw the record on the brass typewriter in the palace, he was stunned. The line of words said, "Due to Strength and Agility exceeding the threshold, the skill 'City Destroyer' has been activated. Doubles Strength and Agility for 30 seconds. Cooldown time: 1 day."
What is this?
Why did this skill suddenly pop up? Although the duration was a little short, as long as it was activated, Ren Xiaosu would have 21 points of Strength and 20.2 points of Agility.
If this skill was used well, it would be quite useful. It might even be able to catch the enemy off guard.
But what was the critical point that the palace mentioned? Is it 10 points? Does that mean that every time I pass the threshold of 10 points, there will be an additional skill like this?
So when my physical fitness reaches a certain level, there will be an additional reward like this!
Thinking of this, Ren Xiaosu added the bacon into the pot and stirred it with the ladle a few times.
Li Qingzheng was watching from the side. The neighboring high ground had already changed hands twice before the meal was ready. The fighting was really intense.
But strangely enough, the Kyung Clan did not send any troops to attack them again.
When the bacon fried rice was ready, Ren Xiaosu immediately scooped a bowl of it for Chen Wudi. He was particular about how he scooped the rice. After Chen Wudi took the bowl away, he found that the bottom of the bowl was filled with meat when he stirred it with his chopsticks!
Ren Xiaosu threw the ladle back into the pot and said, "Alright, get yourselves some rice. Are you all still waiting for the Battalion Commander to scoop it for you?"
After that, Ren Xiaosu sat down next to Chen Wudi. "How's the sweet and salty taste?"
"It's delicious." Chen Wudi laughed with his mouth covered in oil. "Master, why are you so good to me?"
In fact, Ren Xiaosu had already realized that the more evil things Chen Wudi came into contact with, the more clear-headed he became.
Chen Wudi no longer called Luo Lan Murky whenever he saw him. He would even often fall into a daze in silence for a long time.
So when Chen Wudi spoke now, he sounded more like a normal person.
Ren Xiaosu did not know if this was a good or bad thing. He sighed and said, "When I listened to Mr. Zhang's lectures in the past, I also thought about being a good person. But later on, I realized it wasn't easy to be a good person, so I gave up."
When Chen Wudi heard this, he buried his head in his food and did not say another word.
Ren Xiaosu continued lamenting, "Sometimes when I see you, I feel a little ashamed of myself. That's because the light in my heart should have been extinguished a long time ago. So sometimes, even though I'm clearly not a good person, I still want you to be one. Maybe this makes me seem a little hypocritical, but when I'm only protecting you, I get the illusion that the fire in me is not completely extinguished. "
…
In a corner of Stronghold 108, there was a huge secret underground base deep beneath a garment factory. Nonsense had tried to investigate this place before, but his people could not infiltrate it.
This place was under the direct jurisdiction of the Li Consortium's Board of Directors, and they were only responsible for everything related to the nanomachines.
Very few people knew that there was a small army under the garment factory.
In a room underground, an incandescent lamp hung from the ceiling. A middle-aged man was sitting in front of a blackboard, deep in thought. He was holding a document in his hand. It was a dossier regarding the theft of the nanomachines.
The middle-aged man's name was Li Dingding, and very few people knew of his existence. He was the Li Consortium's Shadow Operative, and like Qing Zhen, he specialized in doing shady things for the consortium.
But unlike Qing Zhen, Qing Zhen always exposed himself to the public and could even control his troops, Li Dingding always remained hidden in the shadows.
At this moment, Li Dingding was reading the dossier. A lot of the evidence in it pointed to a supernatural being named Xu Xianchu, who was suspected to be a spy for the Yang Clan. He was probably here to collect nanomachines samples for the Yang Clan.
But as soon as Li Dingding finished reading the dossier, he felt that something was amiss. If it was just to collect samples, why did they collect so many?
As a matter of fact, the nanomachines in the dozens of corpses that had been transported back had all been stolen, so it was impossible that they were just stealing samples! Who knew what the previous investigators were up to?
Li Dingding sneered, "What a bunch of idiots."
The dossier in his hand was very detailed. It even included the entire process of Lin Qi and the others entering the mountains, the preparations the Divine Arms Battalion had made to attack the Kyung Clan, the daily feedback from the Divine Arms Battalion, and so on.
But even after looking at it for a long time, he still could not figure it out.
At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Li Dingding said, "Come in."
Someone handed him a new document. "Sir, this is a new case from the higher-ups. They say that a batch of nanomachines has been damaged, and it seems like it was caused by their synchronization rate falling to 0."
