The short and dangerous ambush battle was over. The enemy was not completely wiped out. Instead, they took the initiative to retreat after realizing that they had lost the advantage of the ambush. Hao Ren returned to the mercenaries and happened to see Nolan's weapon from the top of the truck.
Jumping off the platform, the girl who looked like she was only in her teens still had a dull look on her face, as if what had just happened was just an illusion, and she did not have the slightest bit of panic or anger.
"Heaton rebelled and defected to the Rangers," Nolan explained to his team members what had just happened in the car with a calm expression. "It was my oversight."
Hao Ren thought of the scene where she fought back with a minigun on the roof of the truck despite the surrounding firepower. It could almost be said that she exposed herself to a hail of bullets. Although the tactics were brave, they were more reckless, but as an outsider, he could not
It’s hard to comment. I can only smile and nod: “You were so powerful just now.”
Ulanov said in a sullen voice: "The boss fights without risking his life, but she always survives to the end. This is the luck of the gray fox."
Nolan shook his head: "There were times when you were unlucky, but you won't remember it... Let's not talk about it. Are you really a civilian?"
Her last words were of course addressed to Hao Ren. As soon as she finished speaking, several other mercenaries around them also turned their confused gazes. Although Hao Ren didn't use any superhuman strength just now, if a civilian could
The sight of a professional soldier taking down several firepower points with his bare hands was as surreal as adding special effects. Ulanov nodded to Nolan: "He knows how to fight, and his movements when looking for bunkers and taking action are also very special."
Professional, this is definitely not the first time on the battlefield."
"If you really want me to explain... I can make up a few excuses," Hao Ren said. He is not afraid of boiling water. He only wanted to break up the team and act alone, so he spoke very straightforwardly. "Anyway, I don't know how to tell you."
Explain this phenomenon."
"Forget it, I'm not interested in your skills," Nolan looked at Hao Ren for a while, shook his head indifferently, and handed something over casually, "Thank you for your help just now. This is your gold, you can take it.
When we go back, we pay attention to fair trade."
Hao Ren was not polite and took back his gold nugget, and then Nolan took out another gold nugget and handed it over: "Besides, this is the gold you just threw out... I am very curious about how rich you are.
Do you usually hit people with gold?"
Hao Ren finally knew what the hidden weapon he just took out from his pocket was...
The surrounding mercenaries looked at Hao Ren as if they were looking at an alien creature: they were wandering around in a lawless zone unarmed, carrying half a pound of gold as travel expenses. They had no sense of protecting themselves and carelessly threw the gold at them.
Man, when everyone thought he was a rich man with a bad brain, he killed several professional soldiers with his bare hands... Where did this weird thing come from? Is his main symptom a brain or a brain?
?
Hao Ren knew that the more he explained, the more trouble he would get, so he simply said nothing. He just smiled harmlessly, bent down and picked up the blond girl: the temporary body of the data terminal. "Let's leave quickly, this is not a suitable place.
Stay for a long time.”
"You still have her with you?" Ulanov asked in surprise.
Hao Ren nodded dumbfounded: "Of course, if you leave this guy alone, I will be annoyed to death by it."
Nolan opened his mouth and swallowed back the words "She's dead" that had reached his throat. Several other mercenaries also looked at each other, minding their own business in response to Hao Ren's series of abnormal actions.
An explanation came out: This man may have gone crazy.
The mercenaries got on the truck and left this place of right and wrong, with Nolan driving in front of him. The interior of the vehicle had been modified. The entire carriage was a mobile military station. Since the weapons station platform had been raised to the top of the carriage, the space inside seemed very large.
It was spacious. Hao Ren saw a corpse lying on the ground in the middle of the carriage with its head blown off. It was the traitor "Headon" in Nolan's mouth. This soldier was originally responsible for driving to pick up people, but somehow he got involved with the enemy.
Together.
It seems that in this place called the lawless zone, the situation is more chaotic than imagined.
"Both newcomers are dead," Nolan's voice came from the direction of the driver's seat. "Heaton is also dead. The other groups have also suffered heavy losses recently. We must find ways to replenish manpower after we return."
"Tsk, I quite like those two new recruits." The only female mercenary in the team except Nolan spat on the ground, "They are both good men... I still think about it after I go back today.
Use them to eat meat."
Hao Ren suddenly choked and coughed. This sister seemed to have a very unrestrained lifestyle.
Except for Nolan, who was driving in the front, there were only four mercenaries left in the carriage. The two before were called "newcomers". The young soldiers who were responsible for recycling equipment on the battlefield were dead, and because they were
He was directly hit by the enemy's large-caliber weapon, and even the body could not be recovered. In the end, only the nameplate was pulled off as a souvenir. The mercenaries talked about their comrades who had just died in the battle, with a somewhat sad and lonely tone, but other than that
I have no other feelings. These are people who are used to seeing life and death. Death on the battlefield, especially in this chaotic and lawless zone... is really commonplace.
Hao Ren looked at Nolan who was concentrating on driving through the bulletproof window in front of the carriage. He suddenly remembered something and kicked Heaton's body that fell in the carriage with his toes: "Since the car has a cannon, why is this traitor
Didn't that guy just use the machine cannon to deal with us? If he had that thing, he would have done it long ago."
Nolan raised a hand to lift the hair on the back of his head and replied without looking back: "All the heavy weapons on this car require my physical connection to activate."
The gray-white long hair was lifted up, revealing a piece of silver light on the back of the neck. Hao Ren saw that a mirror-like metal object was embedded on the back of Nolan's neck, and there were grooves on the edge of the metal object, which seemed to be able to
opened.
He remembered some of the knowledge he had heard about this world before, and asked hesitantly: "Are you a second-generation evolver?"
"Do the current extreme naturalist schools not even teach this anymore?" Nolan's voice sounded a little helpless, "Only the first generation of evolvers have such visible modifications, and the second generation of electronic parts
It is implanted in the body right after birth and cannot be seen from the outside."
Ulanov pointed to the blond girl (corpse) next to Hao Ren: "Isn't your girlfriend the second generation? She never told you about this?"
"This is really not my girlfriend..." Hao Ren couldn't laugh or cry, "This is actually... forget it, you can think whatever you want, I'm still confused."
The car gradually drove away from the dilapidated urban area and entered the even more dilapidated suburbs. Through the narrow bulletproof side window, Hao Ren saw a barren land outside. There were almost no plants in sight, and the ground seemed to be soaked in strong acid.
It showed weird potholes and corrosion. Looking at this miserable situation, he couldn't help but guess to what extent the war in this world had spread. According to the few words leaked during the previous conversation between the mercenaries, it seemed that the entire planet was not at all.
In the peaceful paradise, battles of all sizes have penetrated the entire world. Even the "peaceful city-states" where civilians live together are actually just surviving under the protection of the army as a support place for a certain legion.
Hao Ren felt the shoulders next to him sink. He turned around and saw that the blond girl had fallen on top of him. Her completely lifeless body was shaking with the bumps of the vehicle. He stretched out his hand to steady the stranger, but at the moment he was mistakenly
The girl who thought she was her lover felt a little emotional. At the same time, she began to guess what kind of person the girl "parasitized" by the data terminal was, where she came from, and why she appeared in this chaotic war and died tragically.
These are just boring thoughts.
"How long have we been 'dreaming'?" Hao Ren asked casually in his mind, "Does your family know what's going on here?"
"It has been more than four hours. Vivian just tried to wake you up, but the machine blocked it," the data terminal replied lazily. It seemed that it was very boring to be trapped in an unfamiliar body, "Let's
It’s better to explore here more. And to be honest, you don’t want to disappear suddenly in front of others.”
The data terminal can still control its own body in the surface world when its consciousness enters the dream plane, so in this case it acts as a mouthpiece between the dream plane and the surface world.
"Do you have any plans for the future?" Ulanov's voice suddenly came, interrupting Hao Ren's thinking. (To be continued.)
