1220 , Ren Xiaosu's Decision
"Where is the black fox?" Ren Xiaosu asked in a narrow voice.
The two words Tang Zhou were like a knife, and suddenly pierced into his heart.
Ren Xiaosu felt that he had just returned to a peaceful life, and his witchcraft training class had just started, and another familiar friend left the world.
In fact, strictly speaking, Ren Xiaosu doesn’t know if he and Tang Zhou are friends.
I first realized that after the Jingshan earthquake, on the way to the 113 barrier, Tang Zhou, Luo Lan, Ren Xiaosu and others fled to Li's territory together.
Later, Ren Xiaosu pretended to be an officer of the Li family, and then joined forces with Tang Zhou to act on the 313 position, making the Li family's troops cry and call her mother.
Later, Ren Xiaosu seemed to rarely hear this name. The other party's military rank was getting higher and higher, and was then sent by Luo Lan to be the chief officer of a main force of the Qing family.
The relationship between Ren Xiaosu and Tang and Zhou was more like a normal state in this wasteland era. Everyone did not meet often, and each had their own lives.
Maybe they have been together, but later they quickly returned to their roles and returned to their own world.
The next time I hear each other's news, it may be the news of death.
Everyone was talking about looking forward, just because there was too much reluctance and unbearable time behind them.
"The Black Fox and their vehicles have just entered the barrier," the soldier said, "It should be coming soon."
As he was speaking, the sound of brakes sounded at the door.
Ren Xiaosu ran out and saw the black fox jumping out of the military truck, while Tang Zhou was lying quietly inside the truck, covered in blood.
The black fox said in the simplest language: "We found him 30 kilometers north of the valley. He attracted our attention with a signal gun. At that time, a group of sparrows were besieging him. We found this metal tube from him. I think he was coming to convey information. Tang Zhou died of suicide, and he committed suicide before the sparrow attacked him."
Ren Xiaosu took the metal tube and note from the other party, with the message about Luo Lan written on it.
At this time, a soldier had already lifted Tang Zhou out of the truck with slight feet. Ren Xiaosu stepped forward to check the wound on the body, but saw that almost no part of the skin on the other party was intact. He could imagine what kind of hardship the other party suffered.
The black fox pointed to a wound on Tang Zhou's leg and said, "This metal tube was hidden next to the leg bone at that time. He should have cut his muscles and hid it in it. But what is strange is that there was no knife wound on his leg and he didn't know how it healed quickly."
"Black medicine," Ren Xiaosu replied calmly: "I have given Luo Lan a lot of black medicine, probably Luo Lan gave it to him."
With the black medicine, everything was explained. Tang Zhou cut open his leg muscles before leaving, and then hid the metal tube in.
Ren Xiaosu looked at the black fox: "Where was the sparrow's corpse checked at that time?"
"No," the black fox shook his head: "When we approached the past, there was a silver metal liquid slowly oozing out of the sparrow's corpse. To be cautious, I did not let the soldiers get close. If the young marshal wants to find those sparrow's corpses, I remember the location."
"Well, you did the right thing," Ren Xiaosu said: "This is a sparrow with zero control in artificial intelligence. It's right for you not to touch it."
If Black Fox and others contacted the sparrow's corpse, what Ren Xiaosu had to do now might be to isolate Black Fox and the others first, and then perform electric shocks one by one.
At this time, the clues in Ren Xiaosu's mind had almost been pieced together.
The black fox said another suspicious point: "I have heard of Tang Zhou before, and the officer p5092 should have also heard of him. The troops under his command and Luo Lan have always been famous for being brave and fearless. I don't quite understand why he committed suicide."
"He is not afraid of death because he committed suicide," Ren Xiaosu sighed: "He is afraid that after he was controlled by the nanorobot, he would unconsciously reveal the location where the metal tube was hidden."
After the nanorobot forcibly connects neurons, Zero can obtain a person's complete memory, and even some humans themselves forget the memories in their subconscious minds.
At that time, Zero only needed to accurately find the metal tube through the sparrow. Ren Xiaosu and the others had no idea what was happening to Qingshi under the communication blockade.
Ren Xiaosu could also go to Qingshi to ask specifically what was going on, but it was too late to say anything at that time.
Before this, Ren Xiaosu had seen the Wang soldier controlled by Zero in Zuoyun Mountain. According to Zero, it only needed a few nanorobots to control human thinking through the technology of connecting neurons.
Nanobots are hidden near the brain stem, and they can stay dormant without even consuming energy. The biological energy generated by human movement is far more than they consume.
If Zero uses nanorobots, he just treats it as a control tool instead of a combat tool that improves the "strength" and "muscle strength" of the human body, the nanorobot stays in the human body, and the human body is like a huge charging tank, which will provide the nanorobot with a continuous battery life energy.
"I want to go to the Central Plains," Ren Xiaosu said.
The big fool immediately responded: "Young Marshal, let's go with you."
As a result, p5092 shook his head and said calmly: "Young Marshal, you can't go."
"Why," Ren Xiaosu asked at p5092.
"The Wang army has already stationed troops on the northwest border, and wars between the two sides may break out at any time," p5092 analyzed: "Now Luo Lan will have two results when he goes to the Central Plains. The first is to go to the peace talks. You have also said before that Wang Shengzhi wants to negotiate with Commander Zhang, and the barrier alliance will eventually be taken over by Commander Zhang. I think this is the case with the peace talks between the Qing family and the Wang family. After all, except Commander Zhang, only Qingzhen is able to rule the entire barrier alliance."
p5092 continued: "If their peace talks are successful this time, then the northwest will face the attack from the southwest and the Central Plains next. Young Marshal, have you ever thought about the consequences?"
Ren Xiaosu shook his head firmly: "This kind of thing won't happen."
p5092 analyzed: "Of course, from the perspective of emotional sirens, the Qing family will never do anything to betray the Northwest. I have nothing to say, I believe your judgment. So let's talk about the second possibility. If the Wang family conflicts with the Qing family, then the entire barrier alliance war is about to break out. If you are not in the Northwest at that time, it may affect the morale of the army. And you are taking risks. If your strength is damaged due to the 'outsiders', then who should protect the people of the Northwest? I personally think that sacrificing Luo Lan is necessary."
Zhang Xiaoman muttered, "Why do you always sacrifice this and that person? Can you die a little without death?"
p5092 looked at Zhang Xiaoman calmly and said, "Otherwise, what do you think war is?"
Zhang Xiaoman shrank his head and stopped talking...
Yes, war will kill people.
Since the word war appeared in the history of human civilization, every war was extremely cruel.
Both sides of the war left their hometowns, left their families and rushed to the battlefield, and then raised their respective weapons to eliminate the enemy's vitality with the greatest possibility.
How can such a thing be said to be reasonable?
Victory is just the moment when the final cheers are thrilling, short and brilliant.
But before victory, everyone seemed to be walking in a long, humid and stuffy dark corridor, and no one knew where the end was. Sacrifice and death were the norm.
In the view of p5092, which war does not kill anyone?
Since people will die, why can't Luo Lan die?
At this time, as a military commander, p5092 naturally did not want Ren Xiaosu to leave the northwest.
Everyone thinks that Wang is crazy, how can he run to Wang at this time?
However, Ren Xiaosu said to p5092: "When I was a refugee, I was thinking about how to survive every day. I could eat tree bark and grass roots. Once I set up a trap to catch a rabbit, but I was kicked by the rabbit. At that time, I thought it would be great to survive. As long as I could live with Yan Liuyuan, I could do whatever I wanted. But later it became a little different. I gradually understood that there were things more important in this world than living."
As he said that, Ren Xiaosu walked outside: "Don't follow me. If you need to take action, I will just open the door of the key."
Yang Xiaojin blocked Ren Xiaosu's way: "At least I have to go with you, have you forgotten your promise?"
Ren Xiaosu said seriously: "You really can't go this time Xiaojin, because you will likely face your aunt."
"Although I can't shoot her, I can help you kill others," Yang Xiaojin said calmly.
Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, "It's not that simple. Listen to me, don't go this time."
The two had just agreed that as long as the place where Ren Xiaosu went was in danger, they must take Yang Xiaojin with them.
But this time it's different, because the people Ren Xiaosu has to face are Wang Shengzhi and Yang Anjing.
No matter what Yang Anjing did, she was Yang Xiaojin's aunt. When the girl in the baseball cap lost her parents in her childhood, all the warmth that belonged to the family came from this aunt.
Yang Xiaojin said that she was willing to be enemies of the Wang family for Ren Xiaosu, but Ren Xiaosu was reluctant to let her suffer in the middle.
"If there is really danger, I will open the door to the key," Ren Xiaosu said: "I promise you, do what you say."
In the end, Ren Xiaosu set out alone.
After he left, Yang Xiaojin immediately called Zhou Yingxue from the black market and ordered Zhou Yingxue to stay in the living room 24 hours a day. In this way, if the key door is opened, Zhou Yingxue can help Ren Xiaosu as soon as possible.
The so-called 24-hour stay in the living room is sleeping on the sofa in the living room...
At this time, Ren Xiaosu and the others didn't know that a huge creature was rushing towards the north, as if to block Ren Xiaosu's way.
...
Outside the Holy Mountain, two figures in turf disguised were crawling on a certain hillside waiting quietly.
This strange mountain core area is shrouded in strange white mist for many years, as if it is a natural barrier that can block outsiders from spying on.
That's why almost no one outside knows what is happening here in Holy Mountain.
One of them raised his wrist to look at the watch. When the pointer jumped to 10 o'clock, the white mist wrapped around the holy mountain was diluted at a speed visible to the naked eye until the air completely returned to its completely transparent state.
"Director, look," said Zhang Baogen, who was lying on the hillside.
Hushou next to him took out a pair of telescopes, hoping to take advantage of the white mist to carefully observe what was in this holy mountain.
It just disappointed him a little. Their location is still some distance from the core area of the Holy Mountain. All you can see is some raw materials transported in, and then a confidential box is escorted out by the vehicle.
There are many transport vehicles, and the roads look quite lively.
Hushou frowned and asked, "Baogen, do you think these vehicles are like insects?"
"What insect?" Zhang Baogen was a little puzzled.
"Ant," Hushou said softly.
At this time, they were lying on the hillside. On the road at the foot of the mountain, the black medium-sized trucks were like workers' ants. The team going out and entering and exiting the mountains in an orderly manner, busy and busy.
This holy mountain is like a huge ant nest, constantly creating something.
However, when Wu Shuo thought that the cars were filled with soldiers with live ammunition and were transporting mysterious things, he felt that the ant nest was a little terrifying.
Hushou asked: "Has the news from the south been returned?"
"It's been sent back. They have a team that even crossed the original Zhou family's range and went further south," Zhang Baogen replied.
Novice: "The same is true in the north. They even had a team of them quietly going to the grassland. I originally thought that the Wang family wanted to form an alliance with the new owner of the grassland, but the army did not contact the herders, but disappeared on the grassland."
Novice only has one doubt in his heart. What exactly is this Wang family going to do?
"Dean, what should I do next?" Zhang Baogen said curiously.
"You go and inform everyone to retreat to the northwest," Hushou thought for a while and replied: "But after you inform them, go to Barrier No. 73 and I found that one-quarter of the vehicles heading south had gone to Barrier No. 73. You can investigate what was transported on their car. Be careful. If there is any situation, you can immediately go to Xiuzhuzhou to find the altar. I have marked his location for you."
"Will we not go into the Holy Mountain to take a look?" Zhang Baogen asked.
"Can't get in," Hushou shook his head: "maybe he can't get out."
"But Dean, didn't you say before, don't bother Brother Shentan?" Zhang Baogen said: "What you said before, you have to wait until he and Miss Riyi give birth to the child before going to find him."
Wu Shuo was so angry that he heard this: "The unscrupulous thing, the girl Rich Ripple is already 100 willing, but he became pretentious and insisted on having feelings for further development. I should go to the northwest now and find Ren Xiaosu to ask for the black medicine he had in his hands!"
"Put the medicine?" Zhang Baogen was shocked: "As for it? I think as long as he continues to live in Xiuzhuzhou, it will be a matter of time before he has children..."
