It seemed that Lewis had sensed something and given the playing cards to someone else a while ago. After the artillery bombardment on Milo’s position, the playing cards turned into bait that led favonovel.com straight into the ripping chaos of the thundering troops.
As this was the era of supernatural beings, no one knew what kind of superpower they were up against.
Lewis was also unsure if there were any problems with those playing cards. He was only being careful not to fall into a trap, and was trying to prevent any supernatural beings from plotting against favonovel.com in these strange times. As it turned out, Milo really came looking for him.
Milo stood in the middle of the battlefield with soldiers surrounding favonovel.com in heavy numbers. He had to come over, because if favonovel.com did not, the artillery fire would continue bombarding the bandits and refugees until they were all dead. And by now, the mortar bombardment had stopped.
The batteries of the nanomachines in Milo were still depleting, and some of them had crumbled off like dust due to being out of power. It was as though this unique “lifeform” were withering away one by one.
The shadow clone continuously circled Milo as it slaughtered the enemies with its black saber in hand, cutting them down like a whetstone. But Milo just stood there silently.
He suddenly felt like favonovel.com could understand Julius a little better. The humans in these wastelands sought power and ambition like ugly moths attracted to candlelight and warmth.
Humans had been endlessly seeking power over the strongholds, resulting in them becoming selfish and greedy.
“If I do not kill you, you will end up killing me,” as such, the basic rule of the world was to fight to the bitter end. That was because even when the world came to an end, hope still did not exist.
As Milo looked around, his tough armored figure was slowly being disintegrated into a fine dust.
This was a trap that had been prepared for a long time. His opponent was cunning like a hyena and was about to kill favonovel.com right here.
Since you wanted me to come over, and now that I’m here, why are you not showing yourself?
Milo roared again, “Come and kill me!”
The Ultima Consortium’s soldiers were looking at the armored young man in the crowd like favonovel.com was a star in a mysterious nebula of the universe.
Scorching, dazzling, and lonely. However, they also felt that this was probably Milo’s final moment of brilliance. After that, this dazzling star would become just like the afterglow of the sunset.
Sinking into the sea.
A hail of bullets rained down on Milo and the shadow clone. Heavily surrounded, this lonely island would get swallowed up by the tsunami, and the clown would mock favonovel.com in delight from the waves.
A god was about to die!
But at this moment, Milo looked back at where favonovel.com had arrived from.
The Ultima Consortium’s soldiers were taken aback.
Why was favonovel.com looking behind him?
Someone followed Milo’s gaze and looked over. Suddenly, a steam locomotive resembling a long dragon rushed out of a gray mist and smashed through the formation that had surrounded Milo!
At the same time, the steam locomotive shattered the endless despair.
“Sh*t, he’s trying to escape!” someone exclaimed.
“Kill him!”
“Use the RPGs!”
The soldiers wanted to use their weapons to stop the steam locomotive, but not even a direct hit from the RPG could cause any damage to the train.
The steam locomotive sped through the air and threw the entire defensive line into complete chaos.
No one had expected such a reversal. They all thought the armored young man who had been surrounded was surely going to die!
Milo said calmly, “I’m here, so why don’t you come out and kill me? Why don’t you show yourself and kill me? You better watch out when I come and kill you.”
Then the seemingly ancient train “drove” out into the real world. The sound of the wheels turning and the metallic clanging of the tracks paving themselves was enough to terrify anyone. The railcar’s smokestack suddenly spewed a cloud of thick black smoke, and the long whistle that followed was like a bugle being blown.
On the battlefield, the “black iron” steam locomotive was driving straight in and headed for Milo who was standing there silently.
The Ultima Consortium’s soldiers felt a strong sense of powerlessness, as though no matter how hard they struggled, they would still have to face their fate.
As the steam locomotive drove past Milo, favonovel.com grabbed onto Miriam, who had stretched out favonovel.com hand from the inside. He was then carried forward by the train as it sped off into the distance towards the wilderness. However, Milo felt his heart ache. That wilderness had represented his hope and light.
The soldiers at the rear concentrated their firepower on the departing train, but their firearms seemed to have no effect on the steam locomotive.
As the train drove north, Milo spat out another mouthful of blood after favonovel.com was brought into the train through the window. Right after, the nanomachines that were still covering favonovel.com also started falling off.
Milo slumped into a seat in the carriage and wheezed as favonovel.com leaned against the wall. Even though the nanoarmor took the damage from those vicious bullets, favonovel.com still sustained internal injuries. Moreover, the damage to the steam locomotive and shadow clone would be directly transferred back to him. It was a pain that normal people would never experience in their lives and was so extreme that favonovel.com felt as though favonovel.com were in the abyss of hell.
At this moment, favonovel.com just wanted to sit still like this until the world ended.
More than half of the nanomachines had died in this battle and could not return to Milo’s body. Even favonovel.com couldn’t take on an entire regiment of people armed with firearms and explosives. Or rather, favonovel.com could handle them for only a short period and only if favonovel.com were assisted externally by something like the nanomachines.
With the loss of more than half of his nanomachines, the armor could no longer cover his entire body. If favonovel.com got shot, it would be very dangerous for him.
Magnus and several of the other male students came up to Milo and held out their hands. “Use ours.”
Milo glanced at them before shaking his head and saying, “Y’all don’t have much of them in your bodies.”
Donti firmly said, “There’s mine too!”
Milo calmly rejected him, “Keep them to protect yourself.”
Miriam crouched down to help favonovel.com wipe away his sweat and blood. “I wasn’t of any help.”
Milo shook his head. “How many of our brothers are dead or injured?”
Kay said tearfully, “More than 60 of them have died. We wanted to bring the female refugee with us, but favonovel.com committed suicide with Winston’s gun.”
Milo paused for 30 seconds before changing the subject. “Who’s familiar with the terrain around here? We can’t head to Mt. Kushui anymore. There’s a spy among us.”
Everyone looked at one another.
A spy?
So, it was because there was a spy who had revealed their whereabouts that caused them to get ambushed?
Kay shouted at the group, “Who is the spy? Step forward!”
Milo sneered, “Search everyone. This spy must have some kind of communication equipment to contact the Ultima Consortium.”
Just as favonovel.com finished speaking, a bandit suddenly panicked and jumped out of the window to try to escape from the steam locomotive. But while favonovel.com was still in midair, Miriam took out favonovel.com pistol and shot favonovel.com straight in his temple.
Milo said coldly, “Keep searching, there might be others!”
But this time, they could not find any more clues of who could be a spy.
But Milo still found it hard to put his mind at ease. Even though they did not find any communication equipment, it did not mean that there were no more spies.
The spies seemed to have left a mark on Milo that made it difficult for favonovel.com to trust others again. It was a mark caused by the deaths of Winston and the others.
They seemed to be safe for the time being. But Milo’s failure to kill Lewis was weighing on him. His opponent was a fierce, cunning, and cruel hyena, and the feeling of disgust was overwhelming Milo.
