The short and dangerous ambush battle was over, and the enemy was not completely wiped out, but chose to retreat after discovering that they had lost their advantage in ambush. Hao Ren returned to the mercenaries, just in time to see Nolan jumping off the platform of the weapon station on the top of the truck. This girl who seemed to be only in her teens still had a blank expression on her face, as if what happened just now It was just a phantom, she didn't panic or get angry at all.
"Heaton has defected and defected to the Rangers," Nolan explained to his team members what happened in the car just now with a flat expression, "It was my oversight."
Hao Ren remembered the scene where she fought back with the rotary cannon on the roof of the truck against the surrounding firepower. It could almost be said that she exposed herself to the hail of bullets. Although the tactics were brave, they were even more reckless. It's easy to comment, so I can only nod with a dry smile: "You were mighty enough just now."
Ulanov said in a muffled voice: "The boss is completely desperate in a war, but she always survives to the end. This is the luck of the gray fox."
Nolan shook his head: "There have been times when you were unlucky, but you don't remember it... Let's not talk about that, are you really a commoner?"
Of course, she said the last sentence to Hao Ren. As soon as she finished speaking, the other mercenaries around turned their suspicious eyes. Although Hao Ren didn't use any superhuman strength just now, for a commoner to be able to drop a few firepower points with his bare hands under the noses of professional soldiers is surreal, as if he had added special effects. Ulanov nodded to Nolan: "He knows how to fight, and he is also very professional in finding cover and acting. It is definitely not the first time he has been on the battlefield."
"If you really want me to explain... I can make up a few excuses," Hao Ren said bluntly, "I don't know how to explain to you anyway." this phenomenon."
"Forget it, I'm not interested in your skills," Nolan looked at Hao Ren for a while, then shook his head indifferently. He 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."
Hao Ren was not too polite, and took back his gold nugget, and Nolan took out another gold nugget and handed it over: "Besides, this is the gold you threw out just now... I'm curious about how rich you are, how rich are you? Are they all hitting people with gold?"
Hao Ren can be considered to know what the hidden weapon he took out from the portable space just now is...
The mercenaries around looked at Hao Ren as if they were looking at alien creatures: they were unarmed and wandering around helplessly, carrying half a catty of gold with them as travel expenses. Without the consciousness of protecting himself, he carelessly threw gold at people. When everyone thought he was a rich man with a bad brain, he killed several professional soldiers with his bare hands... Where the hell is this weird thing? Is his main symptom the brain or the brain or the brain
Hao Ren knew that the more he explained, the more troublesome he would be, so he didn't say anything at all. He just smiled harmlessly, bent down and picked up the blond girl: the current temporary body of the data terminal. "Let's go quickly, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time."
"You still have her?" Ulanov asked in surprise.
Hao Ren nodded dumbfoundingly: "Of course, if I leave this guy behind, I'll be annoyed to death by it."
Nolan opened his mouth. Swallowing back the words "she's dead" that had reached her throat. Several other mercenaries also looked at each other and explained Hao Ren's series of abnormal behaviors: This man may have gone crazy.
The mercenaries boarded a truck and left this place of right and wrong, with Nolan driving in front himself. The interior of this car has been remodeled. The entire carriage is a mobile military station, since the platform of the weapon station has been raised to the top of the carriage. The space inside looks very spacious. Hao Ren saw a corpse with its head blown off lying on the ground in the middle of the carriage. It was the traitor "Heaton" that Nolan called. This soldier was originally responsible for driving to meet the crowd, but somehow he hooked up with the enemy.
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, and the other groups have also suffered heavy losses recently. We must find a way to replenish people after we return."
"Tsk, I quite like those two recruits." The only female mercenary in the team other than Nolan spat at the ground, "They are both good men... I still want to get them when I go back today." They're eating meat."
Hao Ren suddenly coughed from choking. This sister seems to have a very unrestrained style of life.
Except for Nolan who was driving in front, there are only four mercenaries left in the carriage. The two young soldiers who were called "newcomers" before and who were responsible for recovering equipment from the battlefield were dead, and because they were Being directly hit by the enemy's large-caliber weapon, even the corpse was difficult to recover. In the end, only the nameplate was pulled down as a souvenir. The mercenaries talked about the comrades who had just died in battle, their voices were a little sad and lonely, but other than that, they had no other feelings. These are people who are used to life and death. Dying on the battlefield, especially in this chaotic environment The Lawless Zone... has 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 lying in the car with his toes: "Speaking of which, since the car has an organic cannon, why is this traitor?" Didn’t the guy directly use machine guns to deal with us just now? If there is that thing, it will be done 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 need my physical connection to activate."
The long gray hair was lifted up, revealing a piece of silver light at the nape of the neck. Hao Ren saw that there was a mirror-like metal object inlaid on the back of Nolan's neck, and there were grooves on the edge of the metal object, which seemed to be opened.
He remembered some of the knowledge about this world he had heard before, and asked hesitantly, "Are you a second-generation evolutionary?"
"Isn't the current school of extreme naturalists not even teaching this?" Nolan's voice sounded a little helpless, "Only the first generation of evolutionaries will have this kind of visible modification parts, the second generation of electronic parts It is implanted in the body at birth, and it cannot be seen from the outside at all."
Ulanov pointed to the blond girl (corpse) next to Hao Ren: "Isn't your girlfriend the second generation? Didn't she tell you about this?"
"This is really not my girlfriend..." Hao Ren couldn't laugh or cry, "It's actually... Forget it, think what you like, I'm still confused."
The car gradually left the dilapidated urban area and entered an even more dilapidated suburb. Through the narrow bulletproof side window, Hao Ren could see the barren land outside, with almost no plants to be seen. The ground was in a weird state of pits and erosion as if it had been soaked in concentrated acid. Looking at this miserable situation, he couldn't help but guess how far the war in this world had spread—according to the few words leaked from the conversations of the mercenaries before, it seemed that there was no peaceful paradise on this entire planet, and battles, big and small, had penetrated into the world. The entire world, even those "peaceful city-states" inhabited by civilians, are actually just surviving under the protection of a large army as the support of a certain legion.
Hao Ren felt the shoulders beside him sink. He turned his head and saw that the blond girl was lying on top of him. His lifeless body was shaking constantly with the bumps of the vehicle. He reached out to support the girl who had never met before, but now he was mistaken for his lover, feeling a little emotional in his heart, and at the same time began to guess what kind of person this girl who was "parasitized" by the data terminal was before her death, where she came from, and why Will appear in this chaotic battle and eventually die tragically.
It's all just silly nonsense.
"How long have we been 'in a dream'?" Hao Ren asked casually in his mind, "Does the family know what's going on here?"
"It's been more than four hours. Vivienne just tried to wake you up, but this machine stopped you," the data terminal replied lazily. It seemed that being trapped in an unfamiliar body made it very boring. "We It’s better to explore here more. And to be honest, you don’t want to disappear suddenly in front of people.”
The data terminal can still control its body in the surface world when its consciousness enters the dream plane, so in this case, it acts as a microphone 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 thinking. (to be continued~^~)
