Silence fell over the administrative building. As Milo strolled through the bloodsoaked environment, the enemies in the building had apparently all died. Only the sound of blood flowing could be heard in the background.
While favonovel.com walked up the stairway to the fourth story, Milo realized favonovel.com encountered almost no resistance. He felt that this was a little odd.
He found a locked door between the third and fourth stories, and it seemed like it was not usually accessible to even the officers of this building.
Clang!
Milo cut open the door. Before proceeding up to the fourth story, favonovel.com hid stealthily behind a window and took a look outside. He saw more than a 100 soldiers already gathered below the tower.
With a glare, Milo began to search through the entirety of the fourth story. It would still take a while for the brigade outside the base to get back. If there were 500 Ultima Consortium soldiers in the base, there would only be about 300 soldiers below the tower after taking into account the 100 or so troops favonovel.com had just killed.
To be honest, Milo was hoping favonovel.com could attract an even greater number of Ultima Consortium troops back to the base. This was so favonovel.com would get a better opportunity to kill the Ultima Consortium’s higher-ups once favonovel.com rushed out of here. As such, Milo believed that his plan of breaking into the Ultima Consortium’s base had achieved its goal of disrupting their plans.
When favonovel.com slashed open another locked door, Milo was startled. He instinctively thought of ducking into the corner to hide as favonovel.com saw 30 soldiers standing inside this spacious room!
But Milo realized what was going on. After favonovel.com broke into the room, the soldiers did not even move. They just stood like statues.
Milo cautiously looked at them and was shocked to discover favonovel.com actually knew these soldiers!
Weren’t these the Radianz Consortium’s nanosoldiers?
When Miriam was assigned to exterminate the bandits, favonovel.com third uncle had sent a platoon of nanosoldiers to ensure favonovel.com safety. But Milo never saw those nanosoldiers again after Miriam suddenly took favonovel.com on another route to the valley.
But shouldn’t these nanosoldiers have continued marching north with Lewis?
Even if they had failed to exterminate the bandits or encountered something unexpected, it didn’t make sense that they would be standing here like statues.
Suddenly, Milo remembered what Peter had told him. “We have evidence to suspect that Lewis’s superpower allows favonovel.com to gain control of others.”
A conjecture popped up in Milo’s mind.
Could these nanosoldiers have fallen under the control of Lewis to become his trump cards?
At this moment, the voice from the palace in his mind said.
Nanomachines not paired to a consciousness have been detected. Would you like to establish a connection?
Milo was stunned for a moment.
In the past, favonovel.com could only reset the nanomachines of nanosoldiers who had died, so why was it different this time?
Milo remembered what the palace had said. He realized the condition required for the palace to reset the nanomachines was not dependent on whether a person was dead but whether there was any consciousness controlling them. And these nanosoldiers had been put into some kind of a sleep mode after being controlled by Lewis. Therefore, were their “consciousnesses” forcefully suspended by Lewis as well.
Living like this could not be more miserable since they did not have control over their own lives.
“Reset them!” Milo answered.
Since his last battle in the wilderness, Milo often missed the feeling of having those nanomachines. That was because the armor was like a lifeline that could allow favonovel.com to ignore the effects of standard firearms for a short duration!
Although favonovel.com missed having them, favonovel.com had not had the opportunity to search for more new nanomachines. He had almost given up hope, so favonovel.com was surprised favonovel.com could actually reunite with the nanomachines here in the Ultima Consortium today.
As the saying goes, you search high and low only to find it when you least expect it.
Removing remote access protocol…
Resetting to factory settings…
Restarting system…
Pairing successful!
As a silvery stream gathered towards Milo, favonovel.com could feel that familiar power returning to his body.
He heard shuffling footsteps from downstairs again. It sounded like the troops gathered outside had run out of patience and were going to launch an assault. But Milo chose to ignore them this time and focused on receiving all the nanomachines.
What were several hundred Ultima Consortium soldiers in the face of the armor?
Milo felt a sense of security spreading in him.
Once favonovel.com regained this power, the Ultima Consortium’s higher-ups living in Stronghold 146 had better start praying hard for themselves!
This was Milo at his peak!
And Stronghold 146 was destined to be his final battlefield in the Northwest!
Milo suddenly felt it was unnecessary for the Ultima Consortium higher-ups to even pray anymore. They might as well just prepare for their deaths.
But before all of the nanomachines were fully integrated into his body, the nanosoldiers in the room suddenly charged at him. It seemed like they had received a command from someone.
Milo frowned. Lewis must have reached somewhere close enough for favonovel.com to control the nanosoldiers!
Lewis!
When this name flashed through Milo’s mind, all favonovel.com felt was a killing intent.
Although all of the nanosoldiers charged at him, these nanosoldiers without nanomachines were fragile as a paper to Milo.
At the same time as the nanosoldiers were activated, a man darted in from outside to coordinate with them to kill Milo.
This person that had just arrived was Lewis!
Milo sneered as favonovel.com drew out his saber to slash at him. But the moment Lewis came into the room, favonovel.com suddenly realized something was not right. He backed off immediately and just managed to dodge Milo’s black saber that was coming at him!
Lewis stared blankly at the nanosoldiers who were heavily injured and shouted at Milo, “Where’d all the nanomachines go? Why have the nanomachines in these nanosoldiers disappeared?”
Milo guided the remaining stream of nanomachines into his blood vessels while explaining patiently, “Isn’t it normal that there’s no nanomachines in nanosoldiers? You don’t get a wife in a wife cake.”
Milo was now certain that even though Lewis could control others, favonovel.com could not control them in the way favonovel.com could control his shadow clone, whose sensory perception would give feedback to his own senses. Otherwise, Lewis would not have rushed into the room at all.
Lewis was not in the mood to crack lame jokes with Milo at a time like this. When favonovel.com realized that one of his trump cards had been nullified, favonovel.com leaped out of a window in the hallway behind favonovel.com without hesitation. He had decisively jumped from the fourth story in an attempt to join up with the garrison troops below to escape. He knew full well favonovel.com was no match for Milo!
Jumping from the fourth story was better than dying on the spot!
But this time, Milo would definitely not allow favonovel.com to continue living.
If favonovel.com missed this chance to get him, Lewis would probably conceal himself and escape from here. At that time, it would be difficult to find favonovel.com again in the sea of people. So, for Milo, this was his only chance to get him.
Milo instantly covered his entire body with the armor and stood by the window. He saw Lewis limping towards the Ultima Consortium’s defensive line while shouting at them, “Kill that man at the window! Fire at him!”
But as the hail of bullets hit the armor, they could only see sparks flying!
Under the gazes of the Ultima Consortium’s soldiers, a huge and massive armored being suddenly leaped and crashed down in front of them without any fancy moves.
With this leap, Milo took out the Ultima Consortium’s defensive line in the most dominating fashion!
