227 Well, I dont care! (2/2)

Ren Xiaosu took out a vial of black medicine and handed it to the Wolf King unhappily. ”Whatever, I'm not going to argue with a wolf.”

When the Wolf King saw the black medicine, it became happier. Ren Xiaosu said, ”Alright, I'll go on ahead to give chase. Come to me after you've dealt with him.” Ren Xiaosu then got ready to leave.

The nanosoldier who was about to get left behind was terrified. ”Don't go, we're both humans. How can you let the wolves eat me?”

Ren Xiaosu turned around and said with a smile, ”I'd rather dance with wolves than associate with people like you.”

After saying that, Ren Xiaosu left and headed into the forested hills. The nanosoldier could see the solitude and determination on the young man's back. In this moment, the nanosoldier figured out a lot of things. So when they said their staple food at the outpost was meat, they weren't actually lying about it.

So the wolf pack had not attacked the outpost over here because Ren Xiaosu was there. That was all there was to it!

And he noticed this person called Ren Xiaosu knew a great deal about the nanomachines.

They had been wondering why that shadow was trying to steal the nanomachines. It wasn't like it could use them anyway.

But he wasn't so sure anymore!

As Ren Xiaosu walked forward, he heard a scream coming from behind him. However, his expression did not change much.

Including the five silver snakes, they were enough to allow his hand to be covered with the nanomachines up to his wrist. There was still a long way to go before he could gather enough nanomachines to piece together a full set of armor.

…

Lin Qi and the others were running with all their might through the forested hill. They didn't even care about their faces getting cut by protruding tree branches anymore. The nanomachines they had in their bodies were still not enough to support the entirety of their structure. So their skin was not that different from that of normal people.

As they ran, Captain Zhou slowed down a little. ”Seems like the wolf pack isn't coming after us?”

”Yeah.” Lin Qi said with a look of consternation, ”Could it be that they didn't realize we were there?”

”That's impossible!” Captain Zhou coldly rebuked. ”There must be some other reason for it.”

A hypothesis came to Captain Zhou at this moment. He wondered if the wolf pack somehow knew the nanomachines had a limited duration of charge and was waiting until their power ran out before making their move.

However, he immediately brushed off this idea. After all, how could the wolves possibly know something like that? There were not even many people within the Li Consortium's military that knew about this other than the nanosoldiers themselves.

Lin Qi and the others had already discarded some of their supplies. They were not so stupid as to throw away their weapons. Instead, they got rid of their combat rations.

But Lin Qi suddenly realized something. Right from the beginning, Captain Zhou had never opened his backpack. Currently, the silvery glow from everyone else's blood vessels was starting to dim. But that was not the case for Captain Zhou's blood vessels.

Lin Qi asked, ”Captain, is there some sort of charger in your backpack?”

Captain Zhou gave him a look. ”Don't ask if it's none of your business.”
