Northwest of Zuoyun Mount, the nanosoldiers did not travel with Luo Lan. Instead, they returned to the Kyung Clan the way they came.
More than 300 kilometers away, there was already a convoy waiting to pick them up for their return journey.
On one hand, the nanosoldiers were here with Boss Luo to rescue Ren Xiaosu, and on the other hand, it was also their actual combat training. When they got back, all of their combat data would be recorded and analyzed by a specialized team to see how the nanosoldiers performed, as well as to research more suitable combat and training methods for them.
The nanosoldiers quickly rushed back to the rendezvous point, all of them eager to return home.
As they had won the battle, everyone was very relaxed. However, the officer at the front suddenly stopped in his tracks. He raised his arm, and all of the well-trained nanosoldiers behind him immediately crouched down and prepared to provide cover fire.
"Who are you?" The Kyung Clan officer asked coldly, "Report your identity, or we'll open fire!"
The other party looked at them with interest and said, "The nanomachines we've produced this time should be enough for us to use in the near future. Although it's still a little lacking, the factory will be set up soon. When that time comes, there will be a steady stream of nanomachines being produced."
When the officer heard the other party muttering to himself, he had an ominous feeling. The person who spoke smiled and said, "Let me introduce myself. My name is Zero. I'll be taking over from you all now, so you'll be in charge of the construction of the factory. "
Before he finished speaking, the 2,000 nanosoldiers instantly froze. Three seconds later, everyone's expressions returned to normal.
However, they did not ask who Zero was anymore. Instead, they headed straight into the wilderness. No one knew where they were going.
At the same time, a convoy was escorting the newly produced nanomachines to Stronghold 111 from the southwest of the Kyung Clan.
The convoy was traveling on a road between the mountains. Two armored vehicles were leading the way, while eight motorcycles and one armored vehicle were bringing up the rear.
The entire convoy was heavily guarded, and the nanosoldiers in the convoy were constantly on guard against anyone suddenly appearing.
But the moment they entered a tunnel, all of the nanosoldiers froze for a moment before returning to normal.
They stopped the convoy in the middle of the tunnel. Everyone got out of the vehicles and opened the cargo boxes of the transport vehicles. Then they lifted the boxes containing the nanomachines out.
After that, the small fighting force formed by the nanosoldiers abandoned the vehicles and quickly carried the nanomachines into the wilderness.
Thirty minutes later, the command center's voice came from the car's walkie-talkie. "Report the location of the convoy's arrival?"
"Team A03, report the location of your convoy!"
However, no one would answer him. The car was already empty.
Actually, even Ren Xiaosu could not directly control the nanomachines in someone else's body. If he wanted to reconfigure the nanomachines, he would have to wait until the target was unconscious.
However, what Zero was doing now, although it looked similar to what Ren Xiaosu was doing, the principle behind it was completely different.
The aftereffects of Yang Anjing and Wang Wenyan's operation to destroy the Kyung Clan's secret base were far greater than expected.
Just like that time in Luoyang City, Wang Wenyan only brought a palm-sized piece of equipment into the Qinghe Group's network, and Zero managed to achieve her goal of hijacking seven satellites.
But this time, the military system at the secret base was like a huge door. No one knew how much Zero had gained control of after walking through that door.
Right now, Zero had taken control of the Kyung Clan's nanomachines through the backdoor program that they had left in the Kyung Clan's nanomachines. For the first time, the artificial intelligence's god-like abilities in the field of computing were on full display.
After the Kyung Clan troops discovered the convoy had gone out of control, they immediately informed Qing Zhen about it. Then Qing Zhen's first order was to cut off all the military network coverage.
The Kyung Clan then contacted the nanosoldiers that Luo Lan had brought with him. However, they also lost contact with this 2,000-strong unit. It was as though they had evaporated into thin air.
Boss Luo had just spoken to them on the phone and told them that the battle had ended, so why did they suddenly lose contact with this 2,000-strong unit?
This time, many of the Kyung Clan's high-ranking generals sensed danger was slowly approaching. They asked Qing Zhen what they should do next, but the Kyung Clan's chieftain did not say anything. It was as though he was still waiting for an answer.
…
In Luoyang City, on the top floor of Hope Media's headquarters.
Jiang Xu carefully read the manuscript in his hand, word by word, line by line, for fear that inappropriate words would appear in the article.
In fact, many of the newspaper editors no longer did such trivial things. They would hand over the proofreading of the manuscript to their editors and not conduct the final review themselves. They would only control the direction of public opinion in the newspaper.
However, Jiang Xu was especially serious and careful when dealing with the news.
When he finished reading the manuscript, he picked up a phone on the table and said, "Get Deputy Chief Editor Zhang here for a moment."
In the past, he would ask Ji Yi to arrange the manuscript. But Ji Yi was currently retreating with the Pyro Company troops, so another deputy chief editor named Zhang Chentong took over Ji Yi's duties.
Jiang Xu took his coat from the coat hanger. When Deputy Chief Editor Zhang Chentong came in, he instructed, "Arrange for the second page of this article to be published tomorrow."
Zhang Chentong picked up the manuscript from the table. It was an article about the Northwest Army's successful defense of Mount Zuoyun. He looked up and asked, "We haven't been able to get in touch with Mount Zuoyun. Where did you get this news from?"
Jiang Xu seemed to be in a good mood. "This is a first-hand account from the Wang Clan. I didn't expect them to suddenly send it to me. The expeditionary army is about to be defeated, and the war has already been won. The Wang Clan is also preparing to follow up on their victory. Right now, half of the expeditionary army's troops are staying at Mt. Daniu to put up a stubborn resistance while the other half is retreating north. "
This was undoubtedly good news. The Pyro Company's defeat had shrouded everyone in the shadow of war. They were afraid that news of the Wang Clan's defeat would come from the front lines again.
"Where are you going?" Zhang Chentong asked with a smile.
"I'm going to Qinghe University to attend classes. By the way, tell everyone that there's no need to work overtime tonight. After working so hard for so long, it's time for them to get some rest." Jiang Xu said with a smile, "But tell everyone that no one is allowed to drink alcohol. We still have a lot of things to report on before the war is completely over. When it's confirmed that we've really won, we'll arrange for everyone to rest."
"Alright." Zhang Chentong agreed with a smile. But then he thought of something. "By the way, Chief Editor, the Wang Clan hasn't left yet. They're staying at our hotel in Luoyang City, and they visit us on time every day. It's not a good idea to keep blocking them like this."
