Chapter 968, Danger Approaching

Northwest of Zuoyun Mountain, the nano warriors did not travel with Luo Lan, but followed the original route back to Qing.

More than three hundred kilometers away, there was already a caravan waiting there to pick them up for the return trip.

This time for the nano warriors, on the one hand, they were following Boss Luo to rescue Ren Xiaosu, on the other hand, it was also their actual combat training, after they went back, their data from this battle would be recorded in its entirety, and there would be a specialized team to analyze it, to look at the performance of all the nano warriors as well as to study the combat and training methods that would be more suitable for them.

The nano warriors quickly rushed towards the rendezvous point, everyone was eager to return.

Because of the victory, everyone was relaxed, however, the officer at the forefront suddenly stopped, only to see the officer’s arm raised, and all the well-trained nano warriors at the back immediately half crouched down in preparation for cover fire.

“Who are you?” Qing’s officer asked in a cold voice, “Inform your identity or my department will shoot!”

Only to see the other party sizing them up with interest and saying, “The nanobots this time, should be enough for the near future, although it’s still a bit low, but the factory will be set up soon, and there will be a steady stream of nanobots produced at that time.”

When the officer heard the other party’s words, which were like talking to himself, an ominous premonition rose in his heart, and the person who spoke laughed, “Introduce yourself, my name is Zero. Now that I’ve come to take over you guys, the construction of the factory will be under your watch.”

Before the words fell, the 2,000 nano warriors all fell into a state of stagnation in an instant, and after three seconds, all of them immediately returned to normal.

It was just that they no longer asked who Zero was, but instead, they directly advanced towards the wilderness, and no one knew exactly where they were going.

At the same time, a convoy was escorting freshly produced nanobots to Barrier 111 to the southwest of Qing’s.

The convoy was traversing the highway between the mountains, with 2 armored vehicles in front of them to open up the road, while there were 8 more motorcycles and 1 armored vehicle behind them.

The entire convoy was very tightly guarded, and the nano warriors in the convoy were always on the alert for someone to suddenly appear.

However, when they entered a tunnel, all the nanosoldiers entered a state of stagnation, and then instantly returned to normal.

They stopped the convoy in the middle of the tunnel, and all of them got out of the car and opened the cargo box of the transportation vehicle, lifting down the boxes containing the nanobots inside one by one.

After that, this small combat sequence of nano warriors abandoned the vehicles and carried these nanobots quickly into the mountainous wilderness.

It wasn’t until 30 minutes later that an inquiry from the command center rang out from the vehicle intercom, “Reporting on the convoy’s arrival bearing?”

“Squad A03, report your convoy’s bearing!”

However, no one would answer him, the car had long been empty.

In fact, even Ren Xiaosu couldn’t do anything to directly control the nanobots in someone else’s body; if he wanted to swipe the machine, he would have to wait for the target to enter a comatose state.

However, what Zero was doing at this moment, although it looked the same as Ren Xiaosu’s swiping, the principle was very different.

The aftermath of that operation between Yang Anjing and Wang Wenyan to destroy the Qing Clan’s secret base was far a bit bigger than expected.

Just like that time in Luo Cheng, Wang Wenyan only carried a palm-sized piece of equipment in to connect to Qing He’s network, and zero achieved the purpose of holding seven satellites hostage.

And this time, the secret base’s military system was like a door, and no one knew exactly how much Zero had mastered after walking through that door.

Now that Zero had taken control of Qing’s nanobots through the backdoor program that Qing himself had left on the nanobots, the artificial intelligence’s ability to be like God in the computer field was on full display for the first time.

Qing’s forces informed Qing Zhen of this the first time they realized the convoy was out of control, and Qing’s first order was to cut off network coverage to all military systems.

Qing’s contacted the nano troop that Luo Lan had brought out again, but it turned out that this 2,000 man troop had lost contact as well, as if it had evaporated from the earth.

Obviously, Boss Luo had only just gotten off the phone with this side, saying that the battle had ended, so how could this two thousand man unit suddenly lose contact?

This time many of the senior generals of the Qing Clan sensed a hint of danger slowly approaching, they pursued Qing Zhen to ask what to do next, but that Lord of the Qing Clan didn’t say anything more and seemed to be waiting.

……

In the middle of Luo City, on the top floor of the Hope Media building.

Jiang Xu carefully scrutinized the manuscript in his hand, word by word, line by line, for fear of anachronistic words appearing in the article.

In fact, many newspaper editors-in-chief no longer do this kind of trivial things, they will give things like proofreading to editors, they no longer carry out the final review, and only control the direction of the newspaper’s public opinion.

It’s just that Jiang Xu was a bit extra serious and careful when it came to the news.

When he finished reading the manuscript he picked up a phone on his desk and said, “Have Deputy Chief Editor Zhang come here.”

In the past, he would have called out to Ji Yi to arrange the manuscript, but at this time, Ji Yi was following the retreat of the Spark Force, so another deputy editor-in-chief called Zhang Chentong took over Ji Yi’s job.

Jiang Xu took his coat from the coat rack, and when Deputy Chief Editor Zhang Chentong came in, he explained, “Let’s arrange the second edition of this manuscript for tomorrow.”

Zhang Chentong picked up the manuscript from the table, a piece about the Northwest Army stationed at Zuo Yunshan and won a great victory, he looked up and asked, “Our side has not been able to contact Zuo Yunshan, where did you get the news material from.”

Jiang Xu seemed to be in a good mood, “This is the first hand record from Wang’s side, I didn’t expect them to send this to me all of a sudden. The Expeditionary Corps is going to lose, the war has already achieved a stage victory, and Wang is starting to prepare to capitalize on the victory, now the Expeditionary Corps is staying at Da Niu Mountain with half of their troops to resist, and the other half is starting to retreat to the north.”

This was undoubtedly good news, the previous debacle of the Fire Seed had left everyone shrouded in the shadow of war, fearing that at some point news would come from the frontline that Wang had also been routed.

“Where are you going?” Zhang Chentong asked with a smile.

“I’m going to attend classes at Qinghe University, by the way, tell everyone tonight that they don’t need to work overtime, after being busy for such a long time, it’s time to take a little rest,” Jiang Xu said with a smile, “But tell everyone that none of them are allowed to drink, we still have a lot of things to report on before the war is completely over, and when it’s confirmed that we’re have really won, then we’ll arrange for everyone to transfer to rest.”

“Okay,” Zhang Chentong agreed with a smile, but he remembered one thing, “By the way Chief Editor, Wang’s people haven’t left, they’re staying in our hotel in Luo City, they’ll come to visit on time every day, it’s not a solution for us to keep blocking them like this.”
