Chapter 968 - Impending Danger (1/2)

Northwest of Mt. Zuoyun, the nanosoldiers did not travel with Luo Lan to the South. Instead, they headed back to the Qing Consortium via the same route they had taken here.

There was already a convoy 300 kilometers away waiting to pick them up for the return trip.

For the nanosoldiers, they were here to rescue Ren Xiaosu with Boss Luo on one hand and also go through combat training on the other. After they returned, the data related to their battle this time would be fully documented and analyzed by a dedicated team. They would assess the performance of all the nanosoldiers and develop more suitable combat strategies and training methods for them.

The nanosoldiers quickly made their way to the rendezvous point, as everyone was eager to return home.

As they had won the battle, everyone was very relaxed. However, the officer at the front suddenly stopped in his tracks and held up his arm. All of the well-trained nanosoldiers behind him immediately crouched down and got ready to provide covering fire.

”Who are you?” The Qing Consortium's officer asked coldly. ”Identify yourself, or we'll shoot!”

The other party looked at them with great interest and said, ”The nanomachines this time should be enough to last for the short term. Although they're still a little bad, the factory will be set up soon enough. Then there'll be an endless stream of nanomachines being manufactured.”

When the officer heard the other party muttering to himself, he got an ominous feeling. The person who spoke said with a smile, ”Let me introduce myself. My name is Zero, and I'm here to take command of you all. I guess I'll put you people in charge of the construction of the factory.”

Before Zero was done speaking, the 2,000 nanosoldiers' faces turned blank. Three seconds later, their expressions returned to normal again.

However, they did not ask who Zero was and headed straight out into the wilderness. No one knew where they were going.

At the same time, a convoy of vehicles southwest of the Qing Consortium was escorting a newly manufactured batch of nanomachines to Stronghold 111.

The convoy traveled on the road between the mountains with two armored vehicles leading the way, and eight motorcycles and an armored vehicle behind them.

The entire convoy's defenses were extremely tight, and the nanosoldiers in the convoy were constantly on guard against the sudden appearance of anyone.

But the moment they entered a tunnel, all of the nanosoldiers fell into a daze before returning to normal.

They stopped the convoy in the tunnel, and everyone got out of their vehicles to open up the cargo boxes they were transporting. Then they offloaded the boxes containing the nanomachines one by one.

After that, this group of nanosoldiers abandoned their vehicles and quickly carried the nanomachines into the wilderness.

30 minutes later, a voice from the command center rang out over the vehicle's radio. ”Report location.”

”Alpha Three, report your current location!”

However, no one answered him as the vehicles were empty.

Not even Ren Xiaosu could directly control the nanomachines in the bodies of others. If he wanted to reset the nanomachines, he would have to wait until the targets were in a coma first.

But even though what Zero was doing at this moment might look similar to what Ren Xiaosu did before, the principle behind it was completely different.

The aftermath of the destruction to the Qing Consortium's secret base by Yang Anjing and Wang Wenyan was much worse than they had imagined.
