Chapter 710: A Place Where War Reigns
The short and dangerous ambush battle ended, and the enemy was not completely destroyed, but chose to retreat on his own initiative after realizing that he had lost the advantage of the ambush. Hao Ren returned to the mercenaries and saw Nolan jumping off the platform of the weapon station on top of the truck, the girl who seemed to be only a teenager still had a blank look on her face, as if what had just happened was just a phantom, she did not have the slightest panic and anger.
"Heaton has defected and defected to the Rangers," Nolan explained to his team with a flat expression as he explained what had just happened in the car, "it was my oversight. β
Hao Ren remembered the scene just now when she returned fire with a revolteaper on the roof of the truck under the firepower around her, which could almost be said to expose herself to the rain of bullets, although the tactics were brave but more reckless, but as an outsider, he couldn't evaluate anything, so he could only smile and nodded: "You were powerful enough just now." β
Ulanov said sullenly: "The leader is completely fatal when she fights, but she always survives to the end, and this is the luck of the gray fox." β
Nolan shook his head: "There have been times when you were unlucky, but you won't remember...... Don't talk about this, are you really a civilian? β
Of course, her last sentence was said to Hao Ren, and when the words fell, several other mercenaries around her also turned their puzzled eyes. Although Hao Ren didn't use any superhuman power just now, for a civilian to be able to eliminate a few firepower points with his bare hands under the nose of a professional soldier is itself surreal as if adding special effects. Ulanov nodded to Nolan: "He knows how to fight, and his movements when looking for cover and acting are also very professional, and it is by no means the first time he has been on the battlefield." β
"If you really want me to explain...... I can make up a couple of excuses. "Hao Ren's dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and he acts alone after breaking up. So he said it very bluntly, "I don't know how to explain this phenomenon to you anyway." β
"Forget it. I'm not interested in your skills," Nolan looked at Hao Ren for a while, shook his head indifferently, and handed over something casually, "Thank you for your help just now, this is your gold, you can take it back, we pay attention to fair trade." β
Hao Ren was also polite, and took back his gold nugget. Then Nolan took out another gold nugget and handed it over: "And this is the gold you just threw out...... I'm curious about how rich you are, do you usually use gold to smash people? β
Hao Ren knew what the hidden weapon he had just pulled out of his personal space was......
The surrounding mercenaries looked at Hao Ren as if they were looking at alien creatures: unarmed and swaying in the lawless area, carrying half a catty of gold as the passage fee, without any sense of protecting himself, he threw out the gold to smash people with a big grin, and when everyone thought that this was a rich man with a bad brain, he killed several professional soldiers with his bare hands...... Where does this TM come from? Is his main symptom cerebral or cerebral or cerebral?
Hao Ren knew that the more he explained, the more troublesome it became, so he simply didn't say anything, he just smiled harmlessly. Stooping down and picking up the blonde girl: the temporary shell of the end of the count. "Let's hurry up, this place is not suitable for a long time."
"You still have her?" Ulanov asked in surprise.
Hao Ren nodded with a smile: "Of course, if you throw this guy down, I'll be annoyed by it." β
Nolan opened his mouth and swallowed back the words "she's dead" that had reached his throat. Several of the other mercenaries also glanced at each other. He explained Hao Ren's series of abnormal behaviors: This man is probably crazy.
The mercenaries got into trucks and left the place, with Nolan himself driving in front. The interior of the car has been remodeled, and the entire carriage is a mobile military station. Since the platform of the weapon station has been raised to the roof of the carriage, the space inside appears to be very spacious. Hao Ren saw a corpse with a broken head lying on the ground in the middle of the carriage. That's what Nolan called the traitor "Heaton". This soldier was supposed to be in charge of driving the crowd, but somehow hooked up with the enemy.
It seems that this is a place called the Impossible Place. The situation is even more chaotic than imagined.
"Both newcomers are dead," Nolan's voice came from the direction of the driver's seat, "Heaton is also dead, and the other groups have also suffered a lot of losses recently, and we have to find a way to replenish the manpower when we get back." β
"Tsk, I kind of like those two recruits," the only mercenary in the group except Nolan spat on the ground, "they're both good men...... I'm still thinking that I'll open meat with them when I go back today. β
Hao Ren was suddenly choked and coughed, this sister seems to have a very unrestrained style of life.
In addition to Nolan, who was driving in front, there were only four mercenaries left in the carriage now, and the two young soldiers who were called "newcomers" and were responsible for retrieving equipment on the battlefield were dead, and because they were directly hit by the enemy's large-caliber weapons, it was difficult to recover even the corpses, and in the end, only the nameplate was dragged down to talk about it as a memorial. The mercenaries talked about their comrades who had just died in battle, and there was some sigh and loneliness in their tones, but there was no other feeling other than that, these were people who were used to seeing life and death, dying on the battlefield, especially in this chaotic lawless area...... It's become commonplace.
Hao Ren looked at Nolan who was concentrating on driving through the bulletproof window in front of the car, and suddenly remembered something, he kicked Heaton's body that fell in the carriage with his toes: "Anyway, since there is a machine gun in the car, why didn't this renegade guy directly use the machine gun against us just now?" If I had that thing, I would have done it a long time ago. β
Nolan raised a hand and ruffled the hair at the back of his head, and replied without looking back, "All the heavy weapons in this car need my physical connection to activate." β
The long gray-white hair was lifted up, revealing a silver light on the back of his neck, and Hao Ren saw that the back of Nolan's neck was inlaid with a metal object that looked like a mirror, and the edge of the metal object had grooves, which seemed to be openable.
He remembered some knowledge about this world he had heard before, and asked hesitantly, "Are you a second-generation evolutionary?" β
"Don't you even teach this in the current extremist natural person schools?" Nolan's voice sounded a little helpless, "Only the first generation of evolutionaries will have this kind of visible modification, and the electronic part of the second generation is implanted in the body as soon as it is born, and it is not visible from the outside at all." β
Ulanov pointed to the blonde girl (corpse) beside Hao Ren: "Isn't your girlfriend the second generation?" She didn't tell you about it? β
"This is really not my girlfriend...... Hao Ren couldn't cry and laughed, "this is actually ...... Forget it, what do you like to think, I'm still confused. β
The car gradually drove away from the dilapidated city and into the even more dilapidated suburbs. Through the narrow bulletproof side windows, Hao Ren saw that there was a barren land outside, with almost no plants in sight, and the ground was in a strange state of potholes and dissolution as if it had been soaked in thick acid. Looking at this miserable situation, he couldn't help but guess what kind of war had spread to this world - according to the words leaked by the mercenaries when they talked before, it seemed that there was no peace on the entire planet, and battles large and small had infiltrated the whole world, even those "peaceful city-states" inhabited by civilians were actually just surviving under the protection of the army as a feeding ground for a certain legion.
Hao Ren felt the shoulder sink next to him, and turned his head to see that it was the blonde girl who had fallen on top of him, and her completely lifeless body was constantly shaking as the vehicle bumped. He stretched out his hand to hold this girl who had never known her life, but was now mistaken for her lover, and felt some emotion in his heart, and at the same time began to guess what kind of person this girl who was "parasitized" by the number jΓΉ terminal was before her death, where she came from, and why she appeared in this chaotic war and finally died tragically.
It's just boring nonsense.
"How long have we been 'asleep'?" Hao Ren asked casually in his mind, "Does the family know about the situation here?" β
"It's been over four hours, Vivien just tried to wake you up, but the machine stopped you," replied the number of jΓΉ terminals lazily, seemingly bored by being trapped in an unfamiliar shell, "It would be better for us to explore here more." And let's be honest, you don't want to suddenly disappear in front of people. β
When the consciousness enters the dream plane, the number jΓΉ terminal can still control its own body located in the surface world, so in this case, it acts as a mouthpiece for the dream plane and the surface world.
"Do you have any plans for the future?" Ulanov's voice suddenly came, interrupting Hao Ren's thoughts. (To be continued......)
