Chapter 221 - Man-made Demon Soldiers (1)

Anthony's back was already soaked in cold sweat.

He was someone who could sense domain abilities. At the same time, he also had a rank 2 firearms expert. But the battle was not Anthony's strong point. His strong point lay in reconnaissance, mental communication, and strategic deployment. Therefore, it was not a pleasant thing for Anthony to be pressed against the forehead with a zero pistol. Anthony, in particular, was usually proud of his ability to sense. Now, he could clearly feel the killing intent that had burst forth from zero points piercing into his forehead, drilling through his skull and into the depths of his brain.

This caused Anthony to be in extreme pain. At this point in time, he would rather slow down his senses. For example, Rankin, who was standing beside him, was a powerhouse in the Elemental Region. Not only was his perception low, he was also unable to tell the situation and shouted at Zero, threatening and insulting him.

However, it was clear that the target of zero was not Rankin. Anthony knew that he would not take an idiot like Rankin seriously, so unfortunately, Zero's murderous intent was only meant to greet him. Zero didn't shoot, and Anthony knew he wouldn't. However, he had already issued the harshest warning. Zero's murderous aura told Anthony that if there was a next time, his bullet would pierce into his brain like killing intent.

At this moment, Anthony could not feel even the slightest bit of human aura from him. He was cold and cruel, like a killing machine.

The next moment, Zero retracted the killing intent and the gun on Anthony's forehead.

The moment the gun was lowered, Anthony felt exhausted. His feet were already trembling because his body was close to collapse after sensing the killing intent. Luckily, Anthony clenched his teeth and did not fall down. Otherwise, he would have lost all his face.

Zero looked at him coldly and said, ”Clean the battlefield and transport away the valuable items. At the same time, we searched every corner of the base. The armed mob hadn't sold our things yet, so they must be somewhere now. Find it and take it away! ”

Beside him, Rankin called out, ”Are you ordering us?”

He shifted his gaze away from Anthony and looked at Rankin: ”That's right, this is an order!” Don't forget, I'm the main person in charge of this operation. If you want to disobey orders, think about what's written in the soldier's manual! ”Soldiers!”

As he finished speaking, Su Chen and the others gave him a meaningful glance. The four of them passed by Anthony and Rankin and headed straight for the transport. The soldiers who had been surrounding Zero all moved out of the way.

Lang Ken was infuriated. He raised his middle finger at the back of the figure of Zero. But he also knew that Zero was not trying to scare him. It was indeed written in the soldier's manual that if a soldier disobeyed an officer's order, the officer in the serious case could kill the soldier on the spot.

And now, Zero was indeed the supreme commander of this unit. He had the power. Rankin was not sure how the so-called severe yardstick was measured for zeros.

Reluctantly, Rankin and Anthony ordered their subordinates to carry out the zero order. He watched as the soldiers busied themselves with inspecting the corpses and searching for supplies. Leaning against the front fender of the transport, Sue said, ”Aren't you taking advantage of them?”

Zero set his gear on the ground and Colt on his knees. He sat on the ground and loaded the sniper shells into the Colt's chamber one by one. Hearing Su's words, Zero smiled and said, ”Then what? In the absence of evidence, I do not have the power to kill the vice-captain. Moreover, they have more people. ”

The last sentence had a profound meaning to it.

The era of upheaval was the era of the capable. Even for high-ranked espers, those with low-ranked abilities were nothing more than cannon fodder. However, the abilities of the few of them had only just advanced. Against Anthony, Lang Ken, and the other members of their subordinates, the zero side did not have an overwhelming advantage. If there really was a conflict, even if they won, it would still be a miserable victory for the zeroth party.

After today's warning, Anthony and the others would definitely be more careful if they make any more moves. However, Zero was not afraid. If Anthony and Yu Wei did not remember anything, he would tell them through his actions that he had always been one to keep his word!

After working busily for the most part of the night, by the time dawn of the next day, the results of this battle had already come out. After a thorough count, this battle had wiped out a total of 63 people, including the leader of the bandits, while Asgard's side had only zero casualties. It could be said that they had achieved complete victory. In addition, Anthony and Rankin's soldiers had seized a number of old rifles, ammunition grenades, dried meat, clean water, 700 canned food, half a ton of recyclable nuclear waste, 4 off-road vehicles, 25 light bikes, and so on.

As for the metal parts customized by the Heroic Spirit Hall, they were all found and priority was given to the wagons as the first materials to be transported back to Asgard. Three of the soldiers stayed behind to guard the rest of the convoy that they could not transport together, and to wait for the next transport to arrive before returning to Asgard.

At dawn, a convoy of two transport vehicles, five off-road vehicles and ten motorcycles left the mine. They would follow the coastline road to Phoenix, where they would refuel and then take a westward route back to Asgard.
