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 s.h.i.+fted 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 pa.s.sed 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 sh.e.l.ls 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.
The remaining three soldiers, in addition to guarding the supplies that couldn"t be moved away, were also responsible for cremating the bodies of the thieves. While they were cleaning up the battlefield, the corpses had already been transported to the same place. It wasn"t difficult to cremate the corpses. The three of them each took a portion of the diesel fuel they had found in the electric power room and sprinkled it all over the pile of corpses.
One of them took out a lighter, but just as he made a small flame, it suddenly went out. The soldier tried a few more times, but without exception. He was confused, and when he tried again, he saw that the flame on the lighter had not gone out, but had dimmed as if it had run out of fuel. The soldier shook the lighter and found that the liquid inside was still sufficient to burn.
"What the h.e.l.l." he muttered.
The other two soldiers were smoking at the side. Hearing his words, a soldier with a big beard smiled and said, "Tim, it can"t be that you"ve put all your energy into that b.i.t.c.h Mia before leaving the mission, right? Otherwise, why would he not even have the strength to fight a fire now? "
After he finished speaking, his companion, who was sitting beside him, also laughed.
Tim cursed, threw the lighter at Big Beard and yelled, "You"re the one who"s f * cking weak, why don"t you try. "If you can hit me, I"ll give you 10 merit points!"
Big Beard caught the lighter and said, "Don"t regret it."
With a grin, he thumbed the steel wheel of the lighter. He touched the flint, causing sparks to burst out and ignite the gas zone. Immediately, an orange flame sprung up from the lighter. Big Beard whistled and said, "I"ve earned 10 merit points!"
"What the h.e.l.l!" Tim threw his helmet on the ground and cursed.
Before the bearded man finished laughing, he suddenly felt that the fire in his eyes seemed to be a bit too bright, and the temperature was also a bit too high. Although it was held in front of his eyes, the small flame was so small that Big Beard was sweating profusely. Surprised, he let go of the lighter"s hydraulic device with his thumb, but instead of extinguis.h.i.+ng the flame, it leapt up and ignited the soldier"s beard with flames nearly a meter high.
Then the lighter exploded.
It was clearly just a small lighter, but the energy released by its fuel had increased by several levels. It was like a bomb had exploded. The flames from the explosion instantly engulfed the bearded man and the soldiers beside him. Tim, who was standing far away, was unhurt by the shockwave of the explosion. After the explosion had pa.s.sed, he stood up and looked at the scene with wide eyes. He could not believe that his two companions had been burnt to a crisp like this.
This morning, Tim thought, the light seemed stronger than usual. He raised his head and saw a dazzling light coming out of the thick radiation cloud and descending towards the ground. Tim quickly picked up the helmet and pulled out the strong mirror. After the strong light had been filtered out of the lens, Tim saw a humanoid object with wings on its back floating in the light.
Angel?
As the thought crossed his mind, a hot light shot through Tim"s chest. Soon after, intense light emanated from Tim"s body, and in the end, as if Tim had put a bomb in his body, his entire body suddenly exploded.
If there was a dynamometer, it would have found out in that short moment. Like the lighter, Tim suddenly released a tremendous amount of energy from within, which eventually burst through his body and exploded.
Next to the blown up body, the light descended. The light dimmed, and the violet-haired man who had "resurrected" Saurun appeared in the mine. Those bright wings were retracted, and retracted back into the man"s body. This made the man look like an angel turned into a mortal, full of dramatic effects.
The purple-haired man smiled as he walked towards the pile of corpses, he raised his right hand. At the time of birth, an anti-gravitational field appeared on the corpse pile, causing the body of the wolf thief to continuously float upwards. The man"s eyes swept over the bodies until the body of the footman floated up, then he reached out with his other hand and pointed to the body of the footman, then moved to the side. As a result, the corpses of the wolf bandits floated out and fell to the ground.
The man withdrew his raised hand, and the counterforce field disappeared. The bodies lost their ability to float and fell back to the ground.
Without even looking at the corpses, the man walked over to the corpse of the first man and squatted down. He stretched out a finger, and the tip of his finger emitted an intense electrical light. He pointed at the corpse"s forehead. Immediately, some of the neurons in the corpse received energy again. Suddenly, the corpse of the footman shook, and his eyes opened. In those eyes, fragments of zero kept flas.h.i.+ng.
The purple-haired man narrowed his eyes, carefully looking at these scenes, not missing a single detail.
