Manipulating the nanomachines with a delay was a very frustrating experience. Sometimes, even when the brain’s thoughts were clearly ahead, the nanomachines would still have a moment’s delay before they reacted to the commands.
The hands would not listen to the head, and that made Magnus and the other students feel like they were mentally impaired. If they could control the nanomachines better, they would probably be of great help to the group. But in reality, they were powerless.
So, when Milo told them that physical exercise could help increase their synchronization rates, the students who were not injured started taking the initiative to do more work, while those who were injured thought of ways to train themselves. For example, those who had leg injuries would train their upper limbs, while those whose arms were injured would train their abdominals. If a person really wanted to succeed, they would think of a thousand ways to achieve it.
Donti was initially under a lot of pressure due to the workload favonovel.com had to complete. Even with Old Bane and Michael helping out, they were but normal people. As such, there was a limit to how much of the burden they could share.
But now, when the students heard what Milo said, they all started thinking of ways to break past their limits in the hope that they could help the group out in the future.
Their group had been through a lot of ups and downs together. Those who remained with the group despite all the calamities could be considered precious team members. They all knew exactly how difficult it was to survive in these wastelands.
But outsiders would think this group of people were on steroids or something.
Milo had constantly been waiting for a chance to leave this place. The first opportunity favonovel.com was hoping for was for the wolves to show up. However, it had already been several days, and with the refugee camp almost completed, the wolves still did not appear.
At this time, Milo suddenly remembered something.
Wasn’t it about time for the female wolves to give birth?
Back when they were at the outpost, many of the female wolves became pregnant. A wolf’s gestation period was 63 days, and counting the days, that seemed to be around now. Thus, it would be most logical for the wolf pack to hide away while they waited for their pack to grow stronger and bigger. They would have to raise the cubs to become the main force of the pack.
At such times, it wouldn’t be possible for the wolf pack to still be wandering around. The Wolf King would even start stocking up on food for them in case any accidents happened while hunting
What a pity!
If the wolf pack were here, these two reinforced companies of the Radianz Consortium would definitely not be a match for them.
As such, Milo’s group could only wait for favonovel.com to fully recover.
The fences around the refugee camp were nearly complete and were a full two meters high. The perimeter of the refugee camp even had wooden watchtowers erected and fitted with searchlights too.
Soldiers from the Radianz Consortium’s reinforced troops were patrolling around the campsite. There were also troops working in shifts who stood guard near the construction site. All of them were equipped with live ammo in case anyone tried to escape. These soldiers were also acting as supervisors to the refugees and were responsible for teaching them how to build the barracks with lumber.
The two reinforced companies were rotating shifts, so those who were off-duty could head back to their own tents to play cards. But those who were on active duty were never lackadaisical. They were not going to give anyone a chance to escape.
If Milo and company were planning on leaving this place, they would have to first consider how to get through the blockade set up by these two reinforced companies.
During this period, Old Bane would take the opportunity to get close to the reinforced troops by sending things to them during his evening rest hours. He sent over many gifts, with things like watches, jewelry, and so on. This eagerness suited his refugee image very well.
When the troops were playing cards and chatting, favonovel.com would be there to serve them drinks. But even though favonovel.com showed so much sincerity, the reinforced troops still ordered favonovel.com around as they liked and even hurled insults at him. But Old Bane did not get angry and kept a smile on his face.
When it was time to eat, the Radianz Consortium soldiers would not even head out to pack their meals and let Old Bane run their errands for them. After eating, Old Bane would still have to wash their crockery for them. He couldn’t get any more lowly than that.
While the reinforced troops were playing cards at night, Old Bane brought over several cups of hot water for them. As a result, one of the soldiers who was not paying attention took an immediate sip and scalded his tongue.
He flew into a rage on the spot and pushed Old Bane over. “Shouldn’t you at least remind me that the water is hot?”
Old Bane let favonovel.com pour the water over favonovel.com before jumping back on his feet. He smiled and said, “It was my fault. I’ll go and pour you some warm water right away.”
Gradually, Old Bane turned into the representative of the refugees in the eyes of the reinforced troops. Whatever instructions they had for the refugees would be relayed through him.
When the first barrack in the refugee camp was completed, Old Bane immediately arranged for Milo and the others to move in first. The reinforced troops did not say anything even though they knew about it. This was the outcome that Old Bane had been striving for.
Although the barrack was pretty badly constructed, it was not easy to have a place where they could take shelter from the winter weather. Since their group had so many wounded, they definitely had to think of ways to move in here.
After the reinforced troops left, some of the escapees stood outside the barrack and started scolding, “Does it feel good to be at the beck and call of the Radianz Consortium’s people? What gives you the right to move into the barracks first? We all finished building it together!”
But then Donti rushed out of the building. He kicked the person who had been speaking and stomped on him, making favonovel.com cradle his stomach and cry out in pain.
How could anyone put up a resistance against Donti who was equipped with the nanomachines?
Donti was holding a dagger in his hand and looking around coldly like favonovel.com could kill someone at any moment.
Adella stood behind favonovel.com at the barrack door and pointed at the crowd while scolding them, “If anyone dares to make up stories about Old Bane behind his back again, don’t blame us for not being polite. We’ll make sure you die for it!”
All of a sudden, the escapees remembered that this group of people were really ruthless and cold-blooded!
While resting at night, Milo called Old Bane over and said to him, “Old Bane, you don’t have to do this. It’s fine even if we have to sleep outside in the wilderness. You don’t have to put yourself down like that.”
Milo had already spoken to Old Bane about this several times. However, no one could stop him.
At night, Old Bane would agree not to do so anymore, but favonovel.com would still go to the Radianz Consortium’s soldiers again the next day and subserviently pour drinks for them.
Milo clearly sensed that Old Bane was suffering on the inside, but Old Bane did not complain once about it.
Old Bane smiled cheerfully and said, “It’s fine, this is what I’m good at.”
Milo sighed and said, “It’s not a matter of you being good at it or not. Although we have been through a lot of hardship together, we don’t need anyone sacrificing their dignity like that.”
Old Bane said calmly, “In order to escape, all of you ended up getting hurt so badly. Back when we were fleeing, even the students were willing to step forward with grenades to fight the Experimentals. But I treasure my life too much since I can’t die as I still have Murdock to take care of. So then, what can I do? In our group, I’m the only one who can do the things I did. Milo, you don’t have to feel bad about it, I’m only doing what I have to. I can’t do the things that y’all did for the group. So in turn, let me do what y’all can’t do.”
There was silence in the barrack. Everyone suddenly had the same thought at the same time. They were all thinking this was a family.
