Chapter 1246, Execution of the Heart
The Starry Sky Gate opened, and the Dusk that received the call on the other end still knew Ren Xiaosu’s will.
Without a moment’s hesitation, it pounced on the rolling Dusk, and the two worldly beasts fought together so hard that even the ground seemed to cave in.
Qing Zhen and Xu Concealer stared at this scene in a daze, feeling an unprecedented shock.
Not to mention the two of them, even Zhou Qi and Luo Lan, who had seen the wee hours of the morning long ago, would feel inexplicable palpitations when they saw this behemoth again.
How many Transcendents under the sky could resist this kind of monster? I’m afraid there aren’t many.
The abilities of Transcendents had always been bizarre and unpredictable, and most of them were non-substantial and not intuitive.
Now, on the other hand, Wee Man’s strength was intuitive and beyond the mundane.
Previously, Xu Concealment felt that even if Ren Xiaosu was very powerful, he would always be unable to resist the army.
But Xu Concealment suddenly realized that it was hard for him to make a clear summary of Ren Xiaosu’s strength, the steam train, the white mask, the blasting ability that just went through the dark clouds, and many, many other things that they had never even heard of.
The other party was like a true magician, always able to come up with something unexpected.
Didn’t they say that Transcendents only had one ability, Xu Zou had heard of people with two abilities, but two were considered rare, what were these countless kinds?
Was this Experiment 001.
To be honest, Xu Zou did not know that the Transcendents he had heard of who possessed two abilities were actually related to Ren Xiaosu.
One is Xu Xianchu, who is holding the black pot, and the other is Wang Congyang, who is holding the black pot ……
A loud rumbling erupted from the wilderness, and as the two behemoths embraced and tore at each other, dust stirred up from the sky, and waves of air lifted up, as if the sky and earth had changed color.
Qing Zhen and the others watched, as if they were in a world of light, so unreal.
Dawn and Dusk had lived together for over two hundred years, they were familiar and close to each other.
Luo Lan looked at the two behemoths fighting together and suddenly said, “If they are both Ren Xiaosu’s pets, then they are being manipulated by Zero to kill each other, Ren Xiaosu must be very upset, right?”
Zhou Qi bristled, “What a time to be sentimental, don’t worry about your pets when you can’t even survive yourself.”
Luo Lan glanced at him, “I still think you’re more inviting in the mud and sand field.”
Zhou Qi didn’t say anything.
At this time, Ren Xiaosu actually drove the steam train back to Luo Lan and the others, “Get on.”
Ren Xiaosu didn’t look at Luo Lan and the others as he spoke, he stood on the front of the steam train always silently watching the dawn and dusk, and from time to time, he also surveyed the surroundings.
He seemed to be not intending to go over to help Wee.
Not far away, Dusk suddenly kicked away from Wee, wanting to directly pounce on Qing Zhen’s side, but before it could run wildly, it was pounced on from behind by Wee, and the two huge lizards rolled and tore through the wilderness, neither one of them able to get rid of the other.
This battle, if no outside force intervened, I’m afraid it would end with both Palace Guard Lizards being bruised and exhausted, and no one would survive.
But Ren Xiaosu still didn’t make a move.
Qing Zhen asked Ren Xiaosu before getting into the car, “What are you waiting for?”
Or rather, what was Ren Xiaosu on guard for?
Ren Xiaosu gave Qing Zhen a cold look, “There are other dangers.”
Before the trip, P5092 had specifically approached Ren Xiaosu to talk to him, he said to Ren Xiaosu, “Young Marshal, this trip to the southwest is actually very dangerous, you and I have both learned about the computational ability of this AI, so it’s not something that needs to be a surprise that all of our plans for the future won’t go too smoothly.”
Ren Xiaosu asked, “You’re thinking that the AI won’t let me bring Qing Zhen away from Southwest smoothly?”
“Yes,” P5092 nodded, “Although the AI seems to be unrivaled already, destroying everything just by using human warfare. In the face of such despair-inducing power, many forget that it’s actually the ‘human’ that’s the best at scheming, and sometimes, it extrapolates the development of things much further ahead of us.”
“So what do you want me to do?” Ren Xiaosu asked.
“I only hope that you, Major, no matter what obstacles you encounter, leave the battlefield at the first time, don’t have any thoughts of fighting, and always pay attention to your surroundings, be careful of this AI’s backhandedness,” P5092 turned his head to Wang Yun and said, “I always feel that this AI is hiding some backhandedness, can you now Can you recall if there are any forces that have appeared in the Central Plains but have been overlooked by us that might have been manipulated by the AI?”
Wang Yun recalled, “We have not seen Wang’s special force with the number Sharp Arrow now, I don’t think the AI would use them as ordinary troops, right?”
P5092 shook his head, “That’s just a group of ordinary people, under AI manipulation, everyone can master the skills of special combat, maybe the physical quality can’t be compared to these people, but the special forces aren’t that important anymore, is there anything else?”
“There are a lot of hidden transcendents in the Central Plains that haven’t appeared so far,” Wang Yun said.
P5092 thought for a moment and said, “That’s something to be wary of, in our common sense, AIs can’t manipulate Transcendents, but no one can be sure that’s a correct ‘truth’. If a Transcendent’s refusal of control relies on their own mental will, what if a Transcendent is captured and tortured until the end of their will? Major, this is something you have to be careful of.”
Ren Xiaosu nodded.
P5092 asked again, “Is there more Wang Yun?”
Wang Yun sifted through his memories over and over again in his mind, a door in that memory palace opened and closed, and it was as if Wang Yun was rapidly traveling through a maze of narrow pathways.
He suddenly said, ”Nano warriors, those 2000 Qing nano warriors who once fought at Zuo Yun Mountain but disappeared. They are extremely well-equipped, and each of them wears a 40-caliber gun-suspended howitzer, and their physical fitness can be comparable to that of a T3 in five minutes.”
P5092 said to Ren Xiaosu, “Yes, the nanobots are not only capable of controlling humans, they can also enhance their physical capabilities, Major, you must be careful of a force made up of nanowarriors on your side, perhaps the AI has the spare capacity to form one of these forces. Moreover, these 2000 40 caliber suspended grenade launchers were put together by Qing with great difficulty in the first place, and they carry an enormous amount of ammunition, I’m afraid that any Transcendent will fall when faced with this kind of highly maneuverable firepower.”
In P5092’s opinion, the AI must have been able to think that Ren Xiaosu would take Qing Zhen Luo Lan away, so it would have prepared a backhand.
The other party must not have been idle while organizing the evacuation in the northwest, or while constructing the Sanshan defense line in the southwest.
Therefore, Ren Xiaosu did not participate in the battle between dawn and dusk at this time, that is, he was waiting for Zero’s backhand.
Just then, dirt-colored armored vehicles and troop carriers appeared on the horizon in all directions, and Ren Xiaosu could imagine that they were filled with heavily-armed nano-soldiers with the limit of equipment that could be carried in single combat.
Southwest and Northwest were now blind, with no satellites or scouts, so while they were busy retreating and defending, Zero took the opportunity to do too much.
If P5092 hadn’t alerted Ren Xiaosu before, and if Ren Xiaosu had been involved in the battle between dawn and dusk, I’m afraid that it would be difficult to spot these suddenly arriving enemy troops now.
Once they were surrounded by 2000 nano warriors with heavy firepower, even he, Ren Xiaosu, would be buried here.
Not to mention 2,000 of them, he wouldn’t even be able to leave alive with 500 of them, once the hanging howitzers opened fire like it was no money, who would be spared?
Ren Xiaosu said to Qing Zhen and the others, “Get in the car, let’s leave.”
Luo Lan asked, “Wait, what about this pet of yours?”
Ren Xiaosu shook his head, “There’s no way out, perhaps Zero’s goal in intercepting you and I this time is to kill Wee here.”
Wee is now Ren Xiaosu’s biggest backhand, without Wee, it’s equal to weakening Ren Xiaosu’s combat power by half, returning to the state of fighting alone.
However, Ren Xiaosu wondered why on earth Zero was doing this. If the wee hours of the morning died but the dusk didn’t, then one only needed to use Daxing Northwest once more, and the dusk would be out of Zero’s control.
That was what happened last time with Wee, and even though Zero didn’t know what a summoning spell was, he could roughly guess something, right?
Wait, Ren Xiaosu froze.
When he traveled to the Central Plains earlier, Zero had asked him: if he had to choose between Dusk and Luo Lan, what would he choose?
The question was really about choosing a friend of the same race or a pet of a different race.
Mapping to Zero, that was the point of contention between Ren Xiaosu and Zero: whether or not human beings would treat foreign creatures as equal companions, and if there was a situation where they could only choose one or the other, how would human beings make a choice?
Zero let Ren Xiaosu make such a choice again and again, seemingly just to tell Ren Xiaosu that it was not wrong, and that it had only fought for the survival of its race from the very beginning, and that was all.
Ren Xiaosu looked forlornly at the wee hours of the morning that was still fighting for him, and only felt that the complicated to the extreme emotions within his heart were spreading continuously.
To stay and fight side by side with Wee? Even if you will face death?
At this moment, even if Ren Xiaosu was unwilling, he had to admit that some of Zero’s words were actually right, it was difficult for humans to get along with another race on an equal footing.
However, people may not be equal to each other, and the pursuit of absolute equality was a wrong idea in itself.
At this time, the wee one in the middle of the fight suddenly got rid of Dusk and looked back at Ren Xiaosu.
Ren Xiaosu actually saw a hint of a smile from the other party’s anthropomorphized expression, and then the other party resumed fighting with Dusk.
That smirk was like Dawn was saying, hurry up.
Ren Xiaosu wasn’t sure if this was what wee meant, or if he had imagined the meaning to comfort himself.
Zero didn’t seem to be doing all of this to kill, but to kill his heart.
Surrounding the nanowarriors came in all directions, and Ren Xiaosu had seen the ginkgo symbol on the vehicles from afar and determined that these were indeed the nanowarriors that Qing had once lost.
The steam train started up, heading towards the north at full speed.
There was a roar behind them, the sound of howitzers blasting into the wee and the dusk, as if the other side was trying to kill the two behemoths together.
Ren Xiaosu got off the front of the car and rolled over into the interior of the steam train, he said to Qing Zhen, “Mr. Zhang said that you’re very important, I hope that you won’t let us down after Northwest has paid so much to receive you.”
Luo Lan looked out the window and suddenly said, “Wait, I roughly calculated the number of these nanowarriors encircling over, and I always felt that something wasn’t right.”
Xu Concealer replied dryly, “There are only a thousand of them, just as not something we can deal with.”
Luo Lan said, “I understand, but the question is, where are the other thousand?”
