Luo Cheng's expression changed, clearly not believing the news that the Grand Commander had been held up.
However.
The distress signal had been sent out for so long, yet the Grand Commander did not respond at all, nor was there any sign of him coming.
This was abnormal.
As time passed, the despair in everyone's hearts grew larger.
In the end.
This group had no choice but to surrender.
Of course, whether they surrendered or not didn't really matter, all of the Resistance Army had their guns confiscated, and were escorted forward by company soldiers.
Basically.
Every Resistance Army captive was surrounded by two company soldiers, and Luo Cheng, a Power User, was personally watched by Aura, unable to use his ability.
"So, that person named Baiyu suddenly appeared in your Wildfire's territory?"
Aura furrowed his brows, falling into contemplation.
But before long, the voice of a company soldier came from the front: "Sir, we've reached the restricted zone.
Are we really going inside?"
It was clear that the soldier's voice trembled noticeably, his fear of the restricted zone now beyond control.
Aura took a sip of alcohol, glanced at him: "What's there to be afraid of? We've been to the restricted zone before.
Everyone, pull yourselves together.
Take care of the wounds of the brothers who just fought in the middle lane, then go in together."
After speaking.
Aura continued to ask Luo Cheng for details.
Under the suppression of high-level mutants, the weaker mutants basically had no ability to resist.
Luo Cheng was the same.
Aura asked all about Baiyu in Wildfire.
Then his expression grew increasingly grim.
"Cres really deserved to die. It's unbelievable that two such suspicious individuals were allowed into the company.
Treasure Hunter?
This excuse wouldn't fool even a three-year-old on the wasteland."
Aura drank while sneering.
Before long.
All the company's soldiers finished their preparations.
The soldiers who had been hit earlier were now having bullets removed by several accompanying doctors, writhing and screaming in pain.
It seemed like the pain they hadn't felt earlier.
Suddenly rushed in all at once at this moment.
Luo Cheng observed them, secretly guessing about the ability of this company officer.
Of course.
Before he could guess for long, he was rudely interrupted.
They were led into the restricted zone.
All around was shrouded in mist, visibility extremely low.
Inside the restricted zone.
The various buildings were not as dilapidated as those outside, instead untouched by time, both the ground and the structures were brand new.
Not even a leaf was on the ground.
It was as if someone meticulously maintained the place.
"Get out the life detection device and probe the surroundings. Once any life forms are detected approaching, immediately go on alert."
Aura surveyed the surroundings, slowly squinted, and loudly instructed.
Right now, as he looked at the surrounding mist.
He felt a bit uneasy.
He hadn't participated in the last operation; he only knew the company had sacrificed many elite from the action division to locate these two experimental subjects.
Anyway, after that operation.
The company's progress in genetic elixir research greatly accelerated, but also listed the place as a perilous death zone.
Thus, now.
Entering the restricted zone, Aura felt uncertainty.
Moreover, inside, even phone calls couldn't be made.
"If we can't catch these bastards, the company could suffer significant losses.
And I might also be punished.
Those four together could defeat Cres, plus the two experimental subjects who originated from here, having the home-ground advantage...
Not to be underestimated."
Aura took a hard swig, shook the few remaining canteens at his waist, and furrowed his brow.
The alcohol was running low.
Misfortune never comes singly.
However.
Seeing the two hundred company soldiers beside him, he felt somewhat reassured.
He was not like Cres, just relying on brute force.
In battle.
Often, it wasn't something that brute force alone could solve.
Numbers are the advantage!
Even if facing these few head-on, Aura believed he could crush them directly.
"Report, large-scale life signs detected ahead, please advise!"
A soldier ran over.
Aura furrowed his brow: "Suddenly appearing? Why didn't you report earlier."
"They appeared suddenly, we're unsure. In a few minutes we should encounter them, sir..."
The soldier's face showed some concern.
Aura's eyes turned fierce: "Break through, I want to see what's inside this restricted zone."
After speaking.
Everyone immediately assembled around the truck Aura was in, and began to advance forward.
Before long.
The team stopped, a commotion arose.
In front of the company troops, a large group of ragged individuals, holding various tools, blocked the path.
All of them had eyes glowing green.
Their bodies bent left or right, emitting a foul stench.
"Hiss!"
These people emitted snake-like hissing sounds, then charged recklessly.
"What are these things, mutants?"
Aura's expression changed slightly.
And the soldiers around, even more so, were startled by the suddenly charging crowd, some holding kitchen knives and long sticks.
In such circumstances.
If a breach opened up in the troop's defensive line, it might truly result in casualties caused by these people.
"Damn it, pull yourselves together! They're just a bunch of ragged vagabonds without guns, form a formation, fight back!"
Aura, reeking of alcohol, shouted.
Encouraged by his voice.
The soldiers instantly calmed down, started forming alternating gun lines, and opened fire on the charging crowd.
After a wild barrage.
The crowd fell down like wheat being harvested.
Under the power of the firearms, these people had no ability to resist.
"Pah, thought it was something formidable, is that all?"
"Suddenly popping up, scared me!"
"With weapons, no matter how many of these things come, we can kill them."
A group of people began to joke.
However.
While they relaxed, Aura still stared intently at the battlefield.
Crack... crack.
Piercing sounds started ringing in everyone's ears.
The bodies shattered by bullets, at this moment, suddenly moved.
This scene was especially spectacular.
Limbs, heads, rolled and crawled across the ground.
"Open fire!"
Aura roared angrily.
The soldiers launched another attack.
Still, it only shattered the limbs further, but didn't slow their advance.
Soon.
Someone was touched by these flesh formations, and then he fell instantly, his body sprouting various deformed tissues, turning into a disfigured flesh mound.
Faced with such a change.
Even Aura paused in thought for a moment.
