Chapter 1259, The Darkest Hour (In the Grand Finale)
On the battlefield, before Ren Xiaosu returned.
Yan Liuyuan recalled in a trance, when did he meet the Wolf King?
He woke up from the endless darkness of Laboratory 039, his ears filled with the angry hissing of the trapped experimental subjects who had awakened a little earlier than him.
The young Yan Liuyuan could feel the experimental bodies’ desire for him, they craved his flesh and blood, as if these would make them complete new humans instead of a walking corpse.
He quietly left there, unlike the experimental bodies, he and Ren Xiaosu were in a ward, not the cages used to imprison the experimental bodies.
Snow drifted from the sky, and Yan Liuyuan walked in the snow in a daze until the warm smell of blood appeared in his nostrils.
Little Sixth Yuan was trembling in the snow as he tried to escape, but just as he turned around, he heard the whimpering of a wolf cub.
He slowly turned back and found the injured young wolf in the snow, looking at the wounds on the other’s abdomen that had been arched out by the wild boar.
After the wolves had hunted, the young wolf was no longer able to keep up with the wolves.
Yan Liuyuan inexplicably felt that this young wolf abandoned by the wolves was like himself abandoned by that glorious era.
He found a stone and slit his wrist, then dripped blood into the other’s mouth bit by bit.
Even Yan Liuyuan himself did not know what kind of ambush this action would lay for the future.
Therefore, it was only after Yan Liuyuan appeared in the town that the legend of the wolves, a group of wolves that even humans could do nothing about, gradually emerged near the 113th market town.
When Ren Xiaosu had his first encounter with the wolves, by the time the wolf king ripped the flesh from his arm, the smell of déjà vu blood made the wolf king remember everything.
Ren Xiaosu became the ruthless man who survived the wolves’ attack.
Then later, when Ren Xiaosu entered the Realm Mountain for the first time, the Wolf King always followed Ren Xiaosu’s footsteps, but all the injuries that team endured were caused by the experimental body and the sphinx bugs, and the wolves didn’t actually attack them.
The Wolf King’s careful following was treated as a chase by them.
The Wolf King sensed a familiar aura, Ren Xiaosu and Yan Liuyuan had the exact same blood flowing in their bodies.
In fact, when Yan Liuyuan saw the Wolf King for the first time he knew what was going on, it had been ten years since the day of the blood feeding, the other party had repaid the favor with ten years and ended up sacrificing his own life.
Sometimes Yan Liuyuan would lament that the Wolf King had done what many humans could not.
“Farewell, my friend,” Yan Liuyuan whispered.
He turned away with the First Group Army and never looked back.
Before the Wolf King ran off to the battlefield, he took one last look back at Yan Liuyuan’s back, and as if he had finally released something, he twisted his head and Yan Liuyuan to advance in opposite directions each.
Those soldiers of the Northwest Army who were watching this scene suddenly felt that they obviously didn’t have much affection with these wolves, and that they had only met a few times.
However, at this moment, all of them felt sadness from the bottom of their hearts.
At this moment, the wolves were heading towards the AI troops, and at the moment before they were about to encounter the enemy troops, the wolves even turned into a whole group, as a way to avoid the enemy’s fire blockade.
However, this time, the AI once again demonstrated extremely powerful micromanagement capabilities.
When the wolves split into pieces and scattered, the rear infantry unit that the mechanized unit used as a fortress cover actually used a precise fire blockade line to contain all of the wolves’ attacks.
There was a roar, and Yan Liuyuan’s departing back paused for a moment, knowing that it was the sound of enemy troops using RPG rockets.
The millions of AI legions gradually relied on their powerful firepower advantage to firmly encircle the wolves, forcing them to be unable to move.
After encircling the wolves, the AI Legion didn’t stop, as it only needed tens of thousands of troops to surround the wolves.
And these tens of thousands of people were just a drop in the bucket for it.
The countdown was three hours.
At this point, it seemed like it had been a long time since Ren Xiaosu had left.
They didn’t know what Ren Xiaosu had gone for, nor did they know that Ren Xiaosu was going to run wildly over on his legs at this point, they only knew that the first group would inevitably fight the AI forces.
Behind them, the AI legions were coming in eight columns, encircling in a fan shape.
In the midst of this huge legion, the armored units were always at the front line as mobile fortresses, and behind these mobile fortresses, there were even people carrying energy supplies on their shoulders, so that once a tanker or armored vehicle had a situation where its fuel tanks had bottomed out, there would immediately be a specialized logistical unit to deliver the supplies.
In the past, all troops regarded the supply line as a lifeline, but the AI didn’t need to, because the number of people it controlled was too much, and with the two northwestern troops totaling nearly ten million, it could even carry all the supplies forward at any time.
Food, on the other hand, was always locally sourced, most of the things that humans knew could be eaten but didn’t want to, were food in the AI’s case.
Seeing that the AI legions were getting closer and closer, even the two flanks had formed an encirclement.
P5092 said, “Wang Yun, take the wounded and go first, don’t let them slow down the battle here.”
Wang Yun cried and laughed, even at this point in time, P5092 was still speaking with the same ruthlessness.
At this time, Nonsense, who had been listening to all of this, patted the dust on his body and laughed, “All of you go, I’ll come and stall you for a few more minutes.”
A few minutes sounds fleeting, but when disaster strikes, a few minutes are so precious.
After saying that, without waiting for everyone to react, Nonsense took a step to face the AI army.
One person, facing nearly ten million people, everyone looked at Hu Hu’s back, suddenly there is a kind of uncontrollable sadness in their hearts.
Heroes are old, but old heroes are still heroes.
Just see Hu Hu originally on the age of a little stooped back straight up, big lulu behind him said: “In fact, on how to send to death is not your turn ah, should we these northwest army to go to the right.”
Hu Hu smiled and waved his hand, “There is no more attachment, it is time to leave.”
At this time, Hu Hu actually understood everything, when he found out that those two AI legions in the southwest did not appear on the battlefield, he understood that his little grandson might not be there anymore.
He didn’t want Li Shentan to be too lonely on the road, so he rushed.
The moment Hu Hu made contact with the enemy army, he saw that his two sleeves actually shook out twenty-four flying swords that were as thin as cicadas, circling around him.
Those twenty-four flying swords were like shooting stars in the sky, destroying everything in front of them.
Nonsense did not stop, he walked straight towards the enemy formation, just like walking into no man’s land.
The AI army completely surrounded him, like a tsunami engulfing a lonely island.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at Hu’s disappearing back and suddenly said: ”I’ll take the rest of the brothers of the 6th Field Division with me, someone who has nothing to do with the Northwest can stand up for himself, there’s no reason for the 6th Field Division to shrink back and be a wimp. Although I firmly believe that there are still three hours we will be able to usher in the victory, although the death of the pre-dawn darkness has some pity, can not see the scene of victory, but I Zhang Xiaoman is not much else, I used to be the company commander of the sharp knife company, and now I do these just smooth, death, I am the best at it. P5092, you are the most sensible person, so you should know that leading everyone to continue to retreat is the best choice, don’t waste the time we have to buy. choice, don’t waste the time we’ve bought.”
After saying that, he didn’t even care what P5092 said anymore and directly roared at the warriors of the 6th Field Division, “Dare you join me to die? I don’t have anything else to say but to guarantee that I will die in front of you!”
The soldiers of the Sixth Field Division suddenly laughed, “Finally, he’s a bit of a division commander, if not for today’s incident, I would have forgotten that you, Zhang Xiaoman, are the division commander of our division!”
Zhang Xiaoman laughed and cursed while saying, “Fuck, I usually have to hide in front of the marshal, right?”
“Don’t fucking brag ……”
More than 10,000 generals of the sixth field division, chatting while running to the oncoming enemy, Zhang Xiaoman a wilderness on the battle site selected, in fact, there is nothing to choose, the plains terrain is not even good to find a bunker, it is purely to see where it is easy on the eyes, feng shui is good.
P5092 calmly looked at those who left, and then ordered, “Continue to retreat.”
But before Zhang Xiaoman and the others could get far, a steam train was rapidly approaching in the distance.
Even from a distance, everyone could clearly hear the unique whimpering sound of the steam train.
“The Major is back?”
“The Major is back!”
Everyone’s spirits were lifted.
“No!” Wang Yun said as he looked at the steam train from afar, “This steam train only has six sections, and the body is gray, not black. The smoke spewing from the chimney is also gray, not black, this is Wang Congyang!”
The crowd was puzzled: Wang Congyang? Is that the one who had been hunted down by the Major, why did he suddenly appear on the battlefield, wasn’t it rumored that he had gone into seclusion in the Sorcerer’s Kingdom?
Right in the midst of this doubt, that gray steam train actually drove directly towards the AI’s army from the north.
The tanks in the armored force slowly shifted their guns, and the shells blasted straight at the front of the steam train with unerring precision.
But just when everyone thought that Wang Congyang was going to die, a black pot tens of meters in size suddenly appeared in front of the front of the train, blocking the shells.
In the roaring sound, the black pot was unharmed.
The steam train topped the black pot galloped forward, to the moment it and the enemy only one kilometer apart, all the generals of the Northwest Army saw that the steam train seemed to have a flash of light.
Only to see the whole piece of earth begin to roll over, as if it were a wave sweeping towards the AI’s mechanized troops.
The sound of that earth wave was horrifying, like a tidal wave set off by the moon’s gravity.
In an instant, a giant meteorite suddenly appeared in the sky, falling diagonally from the sky with a huge flame, smashing a huge deep crater in the enemy mechanized troops.
The ground also trembled.
“Is this …… sorcery?” The great luminary was stunned, “How did the sorcerer follow Wang Congyang to the Central Plains?”
No one expected that on the last day of this war, the people they thought of and didn’t think of all came forward.
Everyone might have their own reasons for coming forward, but there was only one thing that they were doing, and that was to fight for the last ray of light for others.
Li Yingyun, Qin Sheng and the other 12 knights silently looked away from the wizards on the steam train. Ren Xiaosu had told them that he had seen his father’s other inheritance in the land of wizards.
Now that they thought about it, the other side was it.
In a flash, Chen Wine also locked eyes with Li Yingyun and the others.
In the darkness, each other felt the same beliefs as each other, it was an inexplicable telepathic connection, and although they met for the first time, they knew each other as if they were old friends.
But the steam train did not die with the enemy, briefly blocked the other side’s progress, immediately turned around and drove to the northwest side of the army.
At this time, there is no longer the momentum of the previous forward momentum.
When the steam train came to the first group army near, the car Wang Congyang yelled to the crowd: “Friendly army, do not shoot, it is a friendly army!”
When the vehicle stopped, Wang Congyang said, “Quickly carry all the wounded to the vehicle, I will take them one step ahead. This enemy is also too damn many, we can’t fight them, we can only help you delay some time!”
Big lulu looked towards the car, he recognized all the people in the car, Xiao Xia, Xiao Mei, Chen Wine, Chen Anan, and of course, there were many new faces that he did not recognize.
He wondered, “Why are you guys here?”
Xiao Mei replied, “You guys were in too much of a hurry when you left, so I always felt that you guys might have encountered some kind of problem… Xiao Su helped us, so we naturally want to help him as well. We also came here this time to …… Daxing Northwest? Xiaosu often says these four words.”
The big luminary lamented that this Daxing Northwest’s cause was considered to be completely glowing in Ren Xiaosu’s hands.
He did not expect, Ren Xiaosu’s charm is big enough to the other side all based on a guess, not far from a thousand miles to come to the aid.
In everyone’s heart, there is a kind of inexplicable throbbing, perhaps this is the pride of mankind.
Big lulu looked at Wang Congyang: “Then why did you come back to the Middle Kingdom?”
Wang Congyang said without any good humor, “When you guys see Ren Xiaosu help me tell him that we are all clear, don’t fucking hunt me down anymore okay, and also, all the wanted must all be canceled!”
Zhang Jinglin smiled, “No problem, I’ll go and say it for you.”
“Alright,” Wang Congyang immediately moved towards Fortress 178 after seeing the wounded all carried onto the steam train, leaving Chen Jiu and the others to fight alongside the Northwest Army.
Wang Congyang himself did not intend to live and die with the Northwest Army, thirty-six plans, of course, to go for the best plan.
Zhang Xiaoman looked at the departing steam train somewhat powerless to spit, this goods is probably everyone has seen the most afraid of death transcendentalist, but where he mustered the courage once, may now have left this beautiful world, have to say, goat this character is also really suitable for living in this era.
“Continue retreating,” P5092 took a deep breath and said, “Zhang Xiaoman you hurry up and return to the team, don’t waste the time that others have bought for us.”
Every minute and every second now was something that others had traded their lives for.
At this moment, although the enemy directly behind them was temporarily delayed, the two flanks of the AI Legion were gradually encircling over.
Those two flanks that were about to form a merge were like the abyssal maw of a monstrous beast, as if it was going to swallow the Northwest Army in one gulp.
Countdown to two hours.
The sorcerers, led by Chen Wine, tried their best to destroy the terrain as a way to block the advance of the AI army.
All of the Northwest Army were holding their breath in their hearts, having been pursued by the enemy for so long, with people constantly going to their deaths with emotion, it was as if a fire was burning inside them, to burn their blood until it boiled.
However, reason told them that all they had to do was to withdraw and wait with more patience.
Wang Yun always observed the two flanks of the AI army, he whispered to P5092, “The other side has already attempted to encircle us four times, I observed that the demeanor of those wizards is no longer in their peak state, I’m afraid that we won’t be able to hold out for the next siege.”
P5092 slowly came to a halt, this seemed like a dead end, no matter how hard they tried they could never get away from the pursuers behind them.
Dying here right?
So was it to die in a sorry state or to die with the last bit of dignity they had?
The crowd looked towards P5092, and they wondered why the other party had stopped.
At this moment, stopping seemed to mean losing one’s life.
However, when everyone thought about it again, they had already lost so many comrades, so what else could they not lose?
P5092 suddenly laughed, “How about dying with dignity?”
As he spoke, the two flanks of the AI Legion were in the midst of their fifth encirclement.
The warriors turned on the safeties of their respective guns and checked their ammunition one last time.
Zhang Xiaoman suddenly asked, “Eh you guys, if this fight is too intense and I lose my big groove teeth, then will I not be able to go to the Bronze Bell Square?”
P5092 said as if nothing had happened, “You can pull out your big groove teeth in advance and put them in your pocket.”
Zhang Xiaoman didn’t have the heart to say, “What kind of bad idea is this, are you kidding me?”
P5092 gave him a calm look, “You’re the one who joked with me first.”
XunYiYu in the team suddenly shouted, “No, no, I haven’t been using my abilities just now, and only now that I’ve stopped do I realize that there are a lot of Transcendent Life Signs coming over from the side of the 178 Fortress!”
“So many is how many?” The big luminary froze for a moment, “I do know that there are some Transcendents in Fortress 178 who are hidden away, but there are only five or six of them.”
“Not five or six people,” XunYiYu was excited beyond words, “It’s hundreds of thousands of Transcendents!”
Everyone was confused the moment they heard this number, hundreds of thousands of Transcendents? Did something miraculous happen?
In the next moment, the front platoon of the Northwest First Group Army that was retreating towards Fortress 178 suddenly all froze, and they watched in dismay as Ren Xiaosu charged out from the horizon, and behind the other party, there were countless golden Yinglings.
That torrent came head on, getting closer and closer and closer, then quickly brushed past them again.
The warriors of the first group army all froze in place, and Zhang Jinglin looked at someone in that army of spirits and suddenly muttered, “Old Commander, General Wang …… they resurrected!”
Ren Xiaosu carried the black sword without a word and led the golden torrent against the current from the first group army, and only at this moment did all of them understand what he left alone for.
It turned out to be for the last ray of hope.
The war was already in the evening, and the golden torrent looked so spectacular against the slanting light of the setting sun.
P5092 silently watched this scene, he finally realized that Ren Xiaosu hadn’t lied to him, it turned out that this Major Commander could really summon so many Ying Spirits.
It turned out that this Young Marshal really did have the ability to turn corruption into magic, and could really give him a miracle.
