Chapter 938 - Tunnel Battle (2/2)

”Understood.” Wang Yun said, ”Don't worry, I'll pay attention to that.”

P5092 sighed in his head. At the very least, no one at this defensive position was unnecessary. Everyone was working hard for the final victory.

Then P5092 turned to look at the others. ”This is only the initial stage of our defense. Personally, I don't think we should keep staying here and just wait to be attacked. We have to seek change!”

When Ren Xiaosu heard that, he realized P5092 was looking for a new strategy because he felt a sense of danger.

P5092 explained to Ren Xiaosu, ”Back then, we didn't know the Pyro Company would be defeated so quickly, so I thought our 6,000 soldiers would be enough to hold off the expeditionary army here. But the problem now is that we were initially planning to trade ten of their lives for each soldier we have. Right now, we don't even have enough lives to trade for all of theirs anymore, so we have to think of other ways.”

”Share what plans you have. We'll cooperate fully,” Ren Xiaosu said.

P5092 nodded and said, ”I'm afraid it'll be very difficult to change the overall situation of the battlefield by relying on our own strength now. So we have to think of a way to reduce the pressure on the Wang Consortium's side. That way, the sooner they win the battle on their front, the sooner we can disengage. Ji Zi'ang, can you open up a tunnel on your side that leads beyond Mt. Zuoyun? I'm talking about the kind that'll allow two or three people to pass through abreast.”

Ji Zi'ang looked at Wang Yun. ”How far out is this place from the mountains?”

Wang Yun said, ”Six klicks.”

Ji Zi'ang thought for a moment and shook his head. ”I'm afraid that's beyond me. It's easy for me to open up a tunnel with my power, but it's too long a distance at six kilometers. Moreover, there's hard rocks everywhere in the wilderness. The mental strength I need to alter the hard surface is several times higher than normal, but I probably don't have enough capacity to do that. It's not a problem to open up this tunnel, but I'd probably have to work for 15 days while recovering my mental strength at the same time.”

P5092 frowned. But Mo Fei suddenly said, ”If I can guide you around the areas with hard rocks and calculate the most effective route, I think six days will be enough.”

Everyone was stunned. Ren Xiaosu already knew that Mo Fei was actually Zero. It seemed that it was not difficult for an artificial intelligence like Zero to analyze the makeup of the mountains.

However, almost every time Zero spoke and offered to help, it was at the most critical moments.

Before this, Ren Xiaosu had always felt that Zero was a little unreliable, because its judgment was not entirely accurate when it came to matters in which it lacked data.

But from the look of it, it was quite reliable to let it analyze matters where it had known data.

Ren Xiaosu looked at P5092. ”What do you want to achieve by creating this tunnel?”

”I'm thinking of sending troops to attack the expeditionary army's supply convoy outside.” P5092 explained, ”Now that the expeditionary army has surrounded Mt. Zuoyun, they must think their supply line is safe. But if we attack their strategic supplies at this time, it'll definitely give them a huge shock. And such a large number of troops will definitely require a lot of supplies. As long as we can destroy it once or twice, it'll be enough for the Wang Consortium to find an opportunity to win the battle!”

Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and then said to Ji Zi'ang, ”If it's a tunnel that only fits one person, how long would it take?”

Ji Zi'ang was stunned. ”Two days would be enough then!”

Ren Xiaosu looked at P5092. ”I can go alone.. There's no need to dig such a wide tunnel.”
