“Elansno!”
“It’s Elansno!”
Not knowing who shouted first, the scene immediately descended into chaos. The net of hooks falling from above bent mid-air, quite a few directly becoming dead knots.
Not just fear, but also excitement—
Elansno’s head wasn’t simply worth ten thousand gold!
The Northwest Sector robbed things, but everyone knew who their common enemy was. If the Federation’s Elansno wasn’t eliminated, he would forever be the greatest calamity!
Their anti-Federation side originally also had an S-level evolver—leader Suto. But now he was gone too. As long as Elansno also died, their odds of victory in that final great battle with the Federation would undoubtedly multiply upward.
Even if he was an S-level evolver, with so many people here, how could they fear not being able to kill one Elansno?!
“Admiral…!”
Kang Quan gritted his teeth in a low voice. He naturally also saw Elansno. Looking back, sure enough, the person who had been sitting properly in the vehicle was now gone without a trace.
And he hadn’t noticed at all.
He rapidly issued calm orders: “All units, half guard the vehicles, the rest eliminate anti-Federation elements at all costs!”
Though the thought in his heart was extremely cold, such was the reality. Even if all the people they brought, including himself, died here, the Admiral absolutely couldn’t be harmed in the slightest.
Soldiers from numerous armored vehicles took up weapons, leaped from vehicles, and tangled with anti-Federation elements using equipment superior to their opponents’.
Those in standoff with Elansno didn’t dare act rashly either. The killing intent in Xinghui Second Commander’s heart grew more vigorous, yet he had to forcefully suppress it.
They had come this trip for the munitions. If in the end they couldn’t kill Elansno and didn’t get the munitions either, they’d truly be the ultimate fools who lost their wife and broke their troops.
The Second Commander glanced at the melee below: “You all go—”
“Hey,” Elansno smiled. “You’re all ignoring me?”
He extended his hand, openly waving it before everyone. “The vehicles below are empty. What you want is here with me.”
A delicate red string threaded with five identical spatial rings dangled from beautiful fingers, swaying in the air, making faint, pleasant collision sounds.
Elansno: “I packed all the munitions inside~”
The Second Commander said decisively: “Impossible!”
He instinctively looked down toward Kang Quan, finding the latter also clearly stunned.
Soon, someone pried open an armored vehicle’s cargo hold—
There were indeed munitions inside, but all inferior, failed bottom-of-the-barrel stuff that couldn’t be used at all!
“There really aren’t any!”
“These are all unusable!”
Everyone’s gaze turned toward those five rings in Elansno’s hand that made such pleasant collision sounds.
“I already told you all the truth, yet you didn’t believe me,” Elansno reached out and touched one of the rings. Before everyone could see clearly what he had taken out, he smiled faintly and threw it toward where anti-Federation elements were most densely packed!
*Boom!*
An extremely powerful bomb instantly exploded. Unexpectedly, this time the anti-Federation people not only weren’t enraged, but each wished they could be ten thousand meters away from Elansno.
While shouting for everyone to retreat quickly, the Second Commander couldn’t help cursing internally.
Madman! Truly a fucking madman!
Who didn’t know munitions basically all contained Black Yun ore, whose magnetic field conflicted with the components making spatial storage devices? Putting a small amount of munitions in storage was still acceptable, but putting large quantities inside was tantamount to seeking death!
Those five spatial rings were basically timed bombs—who knew when they’d explode.
At that time, even if Elansno was an S-level evolver, he’d probably be instantly blown to ashes on the spot!
Not having directly confronted him for over a year, this madman Elansno was getting more and more reckless, and dragging them into his death-seeking—truly unlucky! Unlucky!
Moreover, this guy clearly didn’t need to tell them the munitions were in the rings, yet he didn’t hide it at all, as if just to watch their panicked reactions. Wicked to the extreme.
“The Second Commander cursed continuously in his heart, already having faint thoughts to retreat. But from the corner of his eye, through the rolling thick smoke, he glimpsed a strange gray-robed figure moving against the constantly retreating crowd, charging madly toward Elansno.”
That was… Gray River’s Lian Yao!
The Second Commander suddenly stopped.
A few seconds later, he abruptly gritted his teeth.
No, he couldn’t just leave like this. This was a new batch of munitions. If they were all filled into the Federation’s two army corps’ arsenals, the brothers from anti-Federation organizations scattered sparsely across other sectors would definitely suffer.
Those five spatial rings, being held like that by Elansno, probably weren’t as dangerous as he imagined—
Rob first, ask questions later!
Second Commander: “Everyone forward!”
…
Elansno took advantage of the chaos to silently descend from the stone pillar, signaling Kang Quan to come over.
The two walked to a hidden spot. Elansno loosened the red string, handed two of the rings to Kang Quan, the playful look in his eyes completely gone, saying seriously: “These two are entrusted to you. We’ll split up—you take the left exit, I’ll take the right exit.”
Kang Quan’s pupils contracted sharply. “Admiral, inside these are really all…?”
Elansno nodded: “I loaded them in the night before departure. Otherwise, by now the convoy’s munitions would probably have been robbed by more than half.”
Being an S-level evolver didn’t mean omnipotence or invulnerability. For him to face these anti-Federation elements alone, the possibility of escaping injury was extremely low.
“Listen to me. These two rings I’m giving you—you must protect them well. They’re in disarray now, but once they regain their senses they’ll definitely chase again. In a moment, I should attract most of the firepower. You take that opportunity and run out.”
Elansno: “The things inside the rings are covered with my mental power. If intercepted, don’t touch them. No matter what, you must escape. This is a military order!” His tone grew heavy.
Kang Quan instinctively stood straight: “I’ll execute it to the death!”
“Go quickly.” After Elansno patted his shoulder, he turned and sprinted rapidly toward another direction.
In the distance, more than half the people who had left earlier returned. Just as Elansno had said, he attracted most of the firepower. Nearly ninety percent of the people all charged toward the right exit where Elansno had departed.
Kang Quan took a deep breath and, using the cover of shouting voices, continuously approached the left exit.
As he ran frantically, he couldn’t control his thoughts. The two rings clutched tightly in his hand felt as scalding as fire.
The Admiral’s attitude just now undoubtedly indicated that these two rings in his hand were different—perhaps only one was different.
He knew how much space these spatial rings held. If only one, it could completely hold all those experimental instruments. But this was just his speculation.
What he could confirm was that the experimental equipment was definitely in these two spatial rings. Otherwise, knowing the Admiral as he did, the latter would more likely carry these rings himself and definitely wouldn’t do such superfluous things.
The current problem was that the rings were sealed with Elansno’s mental power. He didn’t know which one contained the experimental equipment.
…What should he do?
What could he do?
Why did it have to be at this moment that the Admiral placed his trust in his hands?
C9 sector was his home…
It was different from B6 sector, which had vaguely become a second nest for anti-Federation elements.
That place was ordinary, warm. The children it nurtured all had stubborn, fiery personalities, but were extremely genuine. Once they acknowledged something, it was almost for life.
From Federation military academy onward, Kang Quan had already decided to pledge loyalty to the Admiral unto death.
But now…
The cold purge plan he’d accidentally seen, C9 sector, loyalty, betrayal—all these things tangled together in an instant, weaving into chaotic threads of fate.
In his ears was his own heavy panting. The wind scraping past his ear seemed to have become flaying knives. He was kicked in the back by a wall-spine ant’s leg, large swaths of abrasions opening on his body.
Kang Quan coughed up a mouthful of bloody foam, paid it no mind, got up and continued running, bloodshot gradually climbing his eyes.
——
Algiers and Shou Bing still guarded inside the stone cave. Some of the people they brought went to the right exit, while another portion remained in the cave.
But Lan Xia had already vanished without a trace.
Hearing the artillery fire growing more distant from them, the two couldn’t help going to the cave entrance to look. “Don’t know where teacher actually went.”
The smell of burning was everywhere. Shou Bing had never seen such a tragic, hell-like scene. His disguised face couldn’t help turning pale, nearly vomiting.
He’d seen plenty of human corpses, but this scene of wall-spine ant remains mixed with human blood—red, green, yellow all mixed together—was a first.
He forced himself to endure, not wanting to embarrass himself in front of Algiers. From the corner of his eye, he noticed Algiers’ complexion wasn’t much better either.
The right side was too chaotic, with many wall-spine ants. The two of them walked together toward the left exit, discovering very few people.
Along the way were sporadic Federation soldier corpses lying on the ground.
Shou Bing watched as Algiers very skillfully stripped all the equipment from the corpses.
Algiers: “Don’t just stand there. Come help. This can’t be wasted. Dawn has such a big family—supporting it by scavenging isn’t shameful.” Besides, these weren’t even scrap. In times like these, every bit they could pick up counted.
“O-okay!” Shou Bing looked respectful. Dawn really wasn’t wealthy at present. He was now Dawn’s cook, one of them, and had the responsibility to help Dawn become better.
Thinking this, his gaze suddenly fell on a severed wall-spine ant leg nearby. Lost in thought for a moment, he said: “Algiers, should we pick a few ant legs to take back?”
Algiers: “…?”
“Wall-spine ants only have poison in their teeth. Other parts should be edible,” Shou Bing discussed with him, face flushed, very shy, showing none of the pallor from nearly vomiting earlier. “Bringing them back saves several meals’ worth of food expenses.”
Algiers: “…”
He looked at those plump, thick ant legs, silent for a long while, then gave a thumbs up.
Brother.
No, Brother Ice—you’re amazing.
——
*Bang! Bang! Bang!*
Stone pillars of various shapes in the stone forest broke one after another, crashing into cliffs on both sides, the collision sounds echoing through the empty valley.
Behind him were constant curses.
Under so many people’s entanglement, Elansno forcibly carved open a path, using the stone forest to destroy more than half the anti-Federation elements’ featherfall armor.
Once the featherfall armor was destroyed, those people could never catch up to him. The rest were dealt with separately.
Perhaps also wary of the spatial rings’ instability, despite the hail of bullets behind him, he only raised protective shields to defend but didn’t much take ammunition from the spatial rings to attack.
Finally managing to shake off most of the tail behind him, Elansno had a gap to catch his breath.
This kind of prolonged maneuvering wasn’t a simple matter even for him. Mental power consumption was enormous. S-level evolvers were still flesh and blood bodies. After mental power was completely depleted, they were only slightly stronger than ordinary people.
Estimating the time on Kang Quan’s side, Elansno stopped lingering and swiftly swept toward the approaching exit.
A gentle, harmonious voice rang out: “Your excellency, wait a moment.”
*Buzz—*
Majestic purple mental power bloomed ahead. The dust floating in the air stilled, then in the next instant swept outward, as if heaven and earth cleared in that moment.
Elansno was forced to stop, eyes narrowing, raising his hand to block this fierce wind. This was… an S-level mental power evolver.
The Federation actually had another evolver of his rank?
The huge moon hung in the sky, red light scattering everywhere.
Only after the dust settled did he see that figure standing at the exit.
Tall in stature, with high-tied black hair, a same-colored windcoat with ties flying in the air, thin metal-framed glasses reflecting a cold gleam, half his face hidden in vague shadows.
Only a pair of golden eyes, brilliant as dawn.
