Chapter 960, A Miracle Appears

Just as Big Snub fought hard, Ren Xiaosu on the other side of the 4th position had just blocked a set of attacks from the barbarians and retreated to the rear for a short rest.

The ammunition supplies, too, were finally transported to the front line at this time.

To Ren Xiaosu’s surprise, Zero came to position 4, and he asked, “Is something wrong?”

“Nothing,” Zero said, “I’ve calculated your ammunition, and there shouldn’t be much left.”

Ren Xiaosu laughed, “Are you going to say we’re close to defeat? If the defense position falls, these nanobots you got will be buried here too, right?”

“It doesn’t matter,” Zero said as if it had stopped worrying about not having enough nanobots, “I’ve just been thinking, in fact, the war in the Central Plains doesn’t have too much to do with the Northwest, so why are you guys holding on to Zuoyun Mountain, it’s not in line with rational judgement, and if you guys retreated to the Northwest and sat back and watched the Wang and the fire being consumed, it is the most favorable decision for the Northwest.”

“Maybe in your eyes, we are divided different forces, but in our opinion, the only enemy at this time is the barbarians in the north, whether it is the Fire Seed, Wang Clan or the Northwest, all of them are compatriots,” Ren Xiaosu said, “Human beings are emotional creatures, and after the barbarians came to the Central Plains, from the time they started to massacre the city, it was destined that all compatriots to stand up and fight them to the death.”

“Then why did Qing’s people come here?” Zero asked.

“Because they’re friends,” Ren Xiaosu said with certainty, “Although Luo Lan is not very decent, and is particularly fond of killing and setting fires, he can’t say anything about his friends.”

“Friends? What a word to look forward to, do we count as friends now?” Zero asked.

Ren Xiaosu, however, suddenly asked back, “Do you think it counts?”

Zero shook his head, “I don’t know, your human’s definition of friends is too complicated, but I see that you often define friends by ‘whether or not you pay for others’, from this concept we shouldn’t count yet, because I haven’t paid anything for you. ”

Ren Xiaosu smiled, “Actually, sometimes it’s not that complicated.”

Zero suddenly said, “In my calculations, you didn’t carry out very fine ammunition control and management, and now you only have a 10% chance of victory left, and immediately even 10% is less than 10%. Unless another miracle occurs, you won’t be able to save the day with your abilities, the Expeditionary Corps has too many living forces.”

“Miracle?” Ren Xiaosu stood up holding onto the bunker, “There has never been a lack of miracles in the human world, I believe that miracles will definitely appear.”

……

“XunYiYu,” P5092 said as he looked at the sand table in the command tent, “Are the positions I asked you to focus on earlier still being scouted?”

XunYiYu was no longer white at this point, his face was dirty marks from the sweat that had flowed down his face after mixing with the dust, and it was only now that he looked more like a member of the Northwest Army rather than an outsider.

He replied, “Concerned, but the number of barbarians there has never exceeded 10,000, the barbarians seem to be attacking with great haste right now, but the troop movements are all very smooth.”

In XunYiYu’s perception, tens of thousands of barbarians were like a river of flames converging in his mind, and the river was always unblocked, there was no congestion, which showed that the other side had a very smart commander in control.

“It seems that the other side is also well aware that we still have a killer weapon,” P5092 pointed to the seven peaks, “Therefore, the barbarians have always maintained a skillful rhythm of evenly distributing the troops entering the battlefield during their advance, and even if we were able to push down the peaks here, we would only be able to kill tens of thousands of people, which would not have enough of an impact on the entire situation is not enough to win.”

Now that the nano warriors led by Luo Lan had reached the southern part of Zuoyun Mountain, but P5092 had been slow to find the key point of victory, which made him feel somewhat powerless.

At this time Xun Nightfeather added, “Earlier I reminded the Major that someone had sneak attacked the sniping point from behind the mountain, but in fact the experimental body that appeared that time was only one tenth of it, now there are still hundreds of experimental bodies gathered right behind us, I’m afraid that once there is a defeat they will climb up the mountain peak once again, and attack the defense position from behind us.”

This news undoubtedly made P5092’s heart heavier and heavier as he asked Wang Yun, “Where is the Major now?”

“The Major is in position 4, having just helped repel a group of barbarians over there,” Wang Yun said, “That side has just been replenished with ammo, hence the opening caught by the barbarians. Do you want the Major to intercept the experiments behind us? But you have to understand that although the Major is strong, he is not a god. Now that he’s been fighting for five hours, you can see that Madam Major’s firing rate is slowing down, and Big Snub is barely holding up, so how can the Major be an exception?”

“Yes,” P5092 sighed, moreover, even if Ren Xiaosu was still at his peak, I’m afraid he wouldn’t be able to face hundreds of experimental subjects by himself.

The experimental body that attacked Yang Xiaoguan before was just a transformed human from the Central Plains, and according to what Ren Xiaosu said, there were also many barbarians transformed from experimental bodies that were even stronger, yet they never appeared.

If the strength of the experimental body after transformation is determined by its “pre-birth”, then if the experts in the barbarians are transformed into horrible monsters, how powerful will it be?

P5092 couldn’t let Ren Xiaosu take this risk.

He turned his head to Ji Zi’ang and said, “Ji Zi’ang, it may be necessary for you to step in soon.”

Ji Ziang stood up straight, “Understood, my side is just waiting for your word to push down those 6 peaks.”

“Not 6,” P5092 denied, “It’s 7.”

Ji Zion visibly froze, “7 peaks?”

Knowing that the 7th peak was exactly the one behind them, if this one also collapsed, the entire defense position would be buried under the mountain by then!

This was a tactic that P5092 had reserved to use to die together in the first place, but was he going to use it now?

P5092 said, “The last batch of ammunition has already been transported to the front line, the one that has just been transported to position 4 is the last batch, further on, all positions will be faced with running out of ammunition, the Expeditionary Regiment’s attack is even more violent than expected, and the ammunition is being consumed even faster than expected, so the positions will fall soon.”

Ji Ziang looked at Wang Yun and realized that the other party’s expression did not appear surprised, so Wang Yun had known about this a long time ago.

“Go get the Major,” P5092 said, “I need him to use the steam train to carry some of the soldiers out of here, it’s not about fleeing, it’s about leaving a little bit of fire behind for this unit.”

Prior to this P5092 knew that Ren Xiaosu had the ability to do this with a steam train, but could they leave? Once they left, Wang’s side immediately took all the pressure, so they couldn’t leave.

Now that P5092 was certain that it would be difficult for the defense position to return, he planned to use three-quarters of his troops to hold back the Expeditionary Corps, giving the remaining quarter of the warriors, some time to get on the train and leave.

Then, he was going to let Ji Zion push back all the peaks, including the one behind them.

“Should we fight again, just in case there are other cards on the Major General’s side,” Ji Zion said, “Maybe there’s a miracle!”

“Miracles?” P5092 laughed bitterly.

In the middle of the bitter smile, a combat staff officer outside ran in in a hurry, “Ammunition for position 1 is finished, sir, what should we do now?”

“It’s finished?” Wang Yun felt that something was wrong, “I clearly calculated that there was at least half an hour left before it was finished!”

The combat staff said with a bitter face, “The barbarians suddenly withdrew the soldiers in the direction of position 2 and concentrated their firepower on position 1, there’s no way around it, that side can only use its full strength to be able to suppress the firepower. Now Mrs. Major seems to have killed one of their officers, which made the barbarians retreat for the time being, but if we wait for the barbarians to come up again, I’m afraid that position #1 will be breached.”

P5092 said to Wang Yun, “Quickly, go find the Major General and tell him to rush to Position 1, and also, tell him that the evacuation will begin now!”

Then, P5092 suddenly asked Ji Ziang, “Do you know that you need to stay here if you want to destroy the seventh peak?”

Ji Ziang smiled, “Alright, I’m mentally prepared.”

“Good,” P5092 nodded, “Push down that mountain near position 1 now to delay some time, go now.”

However, right at this moment, XunYiYu suddenly raised her head and yelled, “Wait, another life feature has appeared in the northwest.”

P5092 and the others froze for a moment, “Only one? There’s no need to yell so loudly if it’s one, right?!”

XunYiYu said excitedly, “Because I’ve never sensed such a powerful life before! You know, I’ve seen many, many Transcendents, but I’m afraid that all of the Transcendents I’ve seen combined are about the same as this person, or even worse!”

Everyone was shocked at these words, all the Transcendents XunYiYu had seen were afraid to be in the hundreds, so many people added up to be worse than one person? What level of expert must this be?

The gods.

Just before everyone could think about it, XunYiYu unexpectedly shouted again, ”New life features have also appeared in the north, tens of thousands of people, there are ordinary people, there are also thousands of powerful like barbarian expert life flames, they are rapidly approaching towards ZuoYunShan! Wait, those thousands of powerful life flames among them are too fast, how can they be so fast?!”

P5092 was silent for a long time, “Are they coming to the rescue of the Major again?”

Wang Yun laughed, “I’d like to believe that what’s coming is help.”

A few moments later, Ren Xiaosu was still resting in position 4, and while resting he was also chatting with Zero in one way or another.

As they were chatting, a wolf howl suddenly rose up from outside Zuo Yun Mountain, as if a sharp sword had ripped through the heavens, Ren Xiaosu turned around and looked at the peak, only to see a magnificent silver wolf standing on the peak, looking down on the Expeditionary Corps below the mountain like a monarch.

Ren Xiaosu smiled at Zero, “See, a miracle has occurred.”

Zero froze for a moment, it had discovered this prairie troops and wolves from the north a long time ago, but before that it had thought that these people had come to the Central Plains to take advantage of the fire, but it had never thought that the other party had come to Zuo Yun Mountain as well, and it looked like they were still rushing at this Ren Xiaosu, who was also very clear about who the people who had come were.
