When the power started to surge like the magma at the bottom of a volcano, all the creatures that fell into the volcano would be melted by the scarlet flames.
Humans' thirst for power had never disappeared. Otherwise, the Li Consortium wouldn't have created nanomachines and put them into military use.
Ren Xiaosu could feel the raging flames in his body. He raised his saber and took a step forward. The nanosoldiers watched in shock as he passed by them. They wanted to raise their nanomachines and slash at Ren Xiaosu, but the speed he was moving at made them feel like they were being played in slow motion.
The black saber slashed across the chest of one of the nanomachines. The saber that he held in front of his chest was sliced cleanly and smoothly. Then his body also fell apart.
One of the nanosoldiers couldn't dodge in time and was rammed into by Ren Xiaosu along with his armor. He felt his chest cavity collapsing, and his blood had nowhere to go because it was being compressed. It could only accumulate in the ruptured blood vessels in his body.
More than a dozen nanosoldiers surrounded Ren Xiaosu. A nanomachine slashed at his back, but it only managed to leave a crack in the armor. It couldn't even hurt Ren Xiaosu's skin.
The crack in the armor was spreading outwards in a horrifying manner.
At this moment, the nanosoldiers suddenly realized that this was how the nanomachines should be used!
When Ren Xiaosu's strong physical fitness was combined with the armor, he was like a real siege machine that could charge around in a terrifying manner.
Some of the nanosoldiers started to feel afraid. They did not know how they could defeat this heavy and powerful machine in front of them, and they were filled with a sense of helplessness!
He picked up the gun on the ground and started firing wildly into the tent with a roar. It was as though he could dispel the fear in his heart by doing so.
But the next second, the roar came to an abrupt end. The black saber in Ren Xiaosu's hand had stabbed into his chest. Blood quickly filled his lungs and formed a bloody foam inside.
Ren Xiaosu slowly pulled the black saber out. "Wudi, how's it going on your end?"
Chen Wudi rested the Golden-Hooped Rod on his shoulder. "Done!"
It was only then that Ren Xiaosu withdrew the armor and the black knife into the palace. He looked at the mess beside him. The tent had not collapsed yet.
However, the situation did not seem to be looking good. Ren Xiaosu looked at his "comrades" lying on the ground. Some of them had been shot and killed by the nanosoldiers, while others were still hugging their heads and crying.
However, Ren Xiaosu did not care about how they were. Instead, he looked at Li Qingzheng, Wang Yuchi, and the others. "Are they hurt?"
Ren Xiaosu frowned and noticed that there were bloodstains on Wang Yuchi's legs, as well as a few other students. However, Li Qingzheng was completely fine.
Wang Yuchi's face was covered in sweat. "He was shot in the leg. His bones might be broken. Class Rep, look at the others. They seem to be injured as well."
Ren Xiaosu did a headcount and found five students were injured. Furthermore, their injuries were not light, so they would have to deal with the bullets that remained in their bodies first.
"We can't stay here any longer." Ren Xiaosu said, "Let's take advantage of the fact that there's a war going on and escape. We'll steal a truck and make a trip back to Stronghold 108!"
This crisis made Ren Xiaosu realize that someone was already able to connect the dots. It would only get more dangerous for him if he continued to stay in the Li Consortium.
Ren Xiaosu said to Chen Wudi, "Carry the injured out. The rest of you wait for me outside."
Li Qingzheng consciously helped to carry the injured out. After the others left, Ren Xiaosu broke the necks of his "comrades" one by one. These people knew too much and could not be allowed to live.
He took out all the pots, pans, shovels, hammers, and other items from his storage space, leaving only the gold and food. Then he stored all the nanomachines from the nanosoldiers' bodies into the storage space.
After that, Ren Xiaosu walked out of the tent and carried the injured out with the others.
Position 313 was in chaos. The Kyung Clan's artillery fire was unimaginably fierce, so no one paid any attention to them. Even the other fighting forces passing by only thought they were the injured who had retreated from the front lines.
"There's a vehicle over there!" Ren Xiaosu whispered, "The driver's still in the vehicle. Steal it!"
They were very close to the entrance of Position 313. As long as they could steal a vehicle, they could immediately rush out. No one would be able to discover their whereabouts in such a chaotic situation.
But at this moment, a group of strange soldiers ran in from outside the position. Ren Xiaosu had a strange feeling. These soldiers' movements were too uniform, and there seemed to be no emotion in their eyes.
This was a full battalion of 500 people!
Ren Xiaosu lowered his head and tried to lead Chen Wudi and the others past this group of soldiers. But the officer at the front of the group suddenly shouted at them, "Which fighting force are you from?"
His voice was mechanical and calm. Li Qingzheng immediately went up to him and explained, "We're from the 7th Infantry Regiment. We were injured and retreated. We're about to head to the medical center."
The officer glanced at Ren Xiaosu and the others before continuing, "Take me to the Heroes Battalion's position."
Ren Xiaosu clenched his fists. These people were actually coming for him again?!
What should he do? If the enemy really had 500 nanosoldiers as Ren Xiaosu had guessed, then even if Ren Xiaosu and Chen Wudi were gods, they wouldn't be able to defeat them.
Moreover, it would attract too much attention if they started fighting in such an open area!
While Ren Xiaosu was urgently thinking about what to do, he heard Li Qingzheng say with a smile, "Alright, I'll take you there."
Ren Xiaosu was taken aback. Then he saw Li Qingzheng turn around and say to him with a bitter smile, "Hurry up and head to the medical center. Don't delay your treatment. I'll meet up with you after I bring the officers to the Heroes Battalion's position."
Ren Xiaosu said in a daze, "You …"
"What about me?" Li Qingzheng said with a smile, "I can't wait to be happy. Alright, go ahead."
With that, Li Qingzheng suddenly turned around and resolutely walked towards the high ground where the Heroes Battalion was located. He did not look back again.
Real war and life were like this. There was no time to say heroic words or get emotional. Accidents could happen at any time and take away familiar people and familiar smiles.
Ren Xiaosu resolutely turned around and walked back to the truck. "No one is allowed to look back."
Wang Yuchi struggled and said, "Platoon Commander …"
Ren Xiaosu lowered his voice and roared, "I've already said I'm not a good person! That ray of light of mine is already fucking gone! "
Wang Yuchi and the others were momentarily speechless. They did not even know what the ray of light Ren Xiaosu was referring to was.
Only Chen Wudi understood. He remembered what his master had said in the afternoon. "If I had a choice, I'd actually like to be a person with a ray of light in my heart. But I don't have a choice.
It's not that I don't want to choose, but that life has never given me this option. I only see two options. One is life, and the other is death.
This is the wasteland.
