"Hahaha, good! As expected, not a coward!"
"Xiao Hao, look, I told you the talented ones are all in the younger generation! Three at the eighth tier, a bunch at the seventh tier, outstanding abilities!"
"Still want to cut off their retreat? That's being brave and resourceful, thought the same thing as me!"
"Little girl, are you married? My grandson just turned eighteen, interested in an older woman?"
An Nuan: ...
The old guy looks very proper, but... only looks proper...
An Nuan smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, I have a husband. Can we talk about business?"
"I heard you brought a lot of cigarettes, alcohol, and tea, and pistachios, right? Let's chat while we eat!"
An Nuan toured the base and met the eighteen-year-old strapping young man. After looking at her father's combat plan, she secretly cursed: old fox.
Clearly, he's been wanting to make a move for a long time, and he's still pretending to be testing the waters.
So cunning!
Her father said proudly, "My forces arrived at their flanks yesterday."
"On one hand, it's to gather intelligence, and on the other, it's to disrupt morale."
"Although they have a large number of people, they are all enslaved individuals. They are not good at group combat, lack coordination, and most importantly, their hearts are not united. They were forced to join."
"I'll let them lose seven or eight today, and ambush five or six tomorrow to disrupt their morale."
"This is where the gunpowder is stored, which is their lineup of large armored tanks."
"I've arranged for a few suicide attackers to blow this place up tonight!"
Chen Wenjing: "Using our own people as human bombs isn't cost-effective, is it?"
Chang Kaitong: "To you, they are all loyal martyrs, right? You must be heartbroken by their sacrifice."
Her father was naturally heartbroken.
These were all righteous youngsters who were loyal to the base.
But they stepped forward of their own volition.
After all, armored tanks are very powerful. Ten armored vehicles firing artillery shells simultaneously would be disadvantageous to them.
It would be fine if they knew when they would fire, but the key was they didn't know.
More innocent people would die.
Hao Yunfeng said, "Dad is also helpless. If possible, no one wants their own people to die."
An Nuan thought for a moment: "Does your base have any heinous criminals?"
Her father raised an eyebrow, sensing a lot of mischief.
...
Deep in the night, the 300,000 united army set up camp in an open area.
Night is the time for zombies and异种 (yi zhong - mutated creatures) to be active, making the roads extremely dangerous.
Even with their vast numbers, accidents could still happen.
So they stopped at night.
The large tents had food, drinks, women, and entertainment.
Outside, the prisoners were confined like dogs.
The hundred or so guards looked exhausted, and one of them stepped on another's face.
"Damn it, you useless scum! Because I have to watch you, I can't sleep!"
"What's the use of these people? Useless wretches, all show and no substance!"
"Not entirely useless, they still have some value as livestock."
"If I were them, I'd just bash my head against the wall and die!"
The man whose head was being stepped on dared not speak out of anger.
His family had been sent to the base yesterday. If he disobeyed, his family would die.
For his sister and aunt, he had to obey.
"Truly useless!"
The guard pulled down his pants and urinated a warm stream onto the man's head.
The other guards laughed heartily, "Haven't drunk water all day? Drink it all, it's fresh and warm, haha!"
The man buried his head in the dirt, enduring silently without a word.
He looked like a dead fish.
"Hey? Did you hear something? It sounds a bit strange."
Someone from the reconnaissance department sensed a strange aura.
But it was extremely faint, so they couldn't be completely sure of their judgment.
"It's probably just some prisoner causing trouble. Don't bother with these people, they'll all be cannon fodder in the end!"
Having low-tier prisoners as cannon fodder greatly increased their survival rate, and these people were happy about it.
They laughed and swapped out two prisoners to continue their entertainment and stay alert.
Little did they know that An Nuan had already quietly sent people to the armored tanks.
The tank squad was gathered around a bonfire, drinking and eating meat, and didn't notice three mechanical birds hovering next to the tanks, spitting out a small clump of hair from their mouths.
With the connection established, An Nuan directly opened the portal and sent the remaining people in.
Some of them were scouts for the united army of the three major bases.
After being captured by her father, they were imprisoned in the dungeon.
Two of them were butchers from this city, who did things similar to serial killers. Her father captured them and taught them a lesson.
Several of them were ability users of tiers four to five.
Chen Wenjing easily altered their memories, turning them into "suicide attackers."
Her father, watching the satellite feed, laughed heartily.
"I didn't expect these trash to have such a use. It's good that I didn't kill them back then!"
An Nuan said, "Wenjing's ability is still amazing. To make these people willing to die is also a contribution to human society."
Chen Wenjing smiled, her delicate features revealing a hint of sweetness.
Her father sighed regretfully.
If only she were a girl, he could introduce her to his grandson as a wife!
Chen Wenjing said, "Nuan Zong, you can have them detonate."
"Yes, you start."
Chen Wenjing's eyes narrowed.
At the same time, several "suicide attackers" placed small spheres at the bottom of the armored vehicles.
Someone noticed them and shouted with a gun, "Which unit are you from? Come out!"
After placing the small spheres, they ripped open their clothes to reveal bombs, terrifying the guards.
Damn it, human bombs!
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"
The guards shouted the warning loudly.
Boom!
A sky-piercing explosion.
More than twenty armored tanks exploded one after another.
From the satellite images, it looked like charming peonies.
Gunpowder peonies.
Xiu Ao chuckled, "The newly developed peony bombs are even more powerful than this, Nuan Zong, keep watching."
After the peony bombs detonated, the scattered sparks caused secondary explosions on the ground.
The sparks jumped to other areas and continued to explode.
A series of continuous explosions, until the sparks weakened and were almost invisible, they still exploded a couple of times like firecrackers.
Not only the twenty armored tanks but also the surrounding equipment and personnel were blown to smithereens.
Water and earth element users rushed to rescue, but they couldn't extinguish the raging fire.
They cursed, "Damn it, why can't these fires be extinguished!"
"Who the hell knows! Where are the ice element users? Have them freeze the fire! These fires are spreading!"
"I can't freeze these fires! Captain, Captain!"
The enemy ranks were in disarray, and the scene was a horrific sight, like hell on earth.
Even her father felt a shiver of fear seeing such a scene.
For An Nuan, it was just right.
When attacking others, one must be prepared to be attacked.
Every time she launched an attack, she was prepared to die.
It was not unreasonable for these people to be killed, right?
