Milo did not directly charge at the barbarians as P5092 had expected, so this made P5092 feel rather relieved.
To be honest, favonovel.com had always been a cautious person. So, if Milo were a rash kind of person, favonovel.com would feel favonovel.com would be unable to work with him. After all, it would mean their tactical thinking was different.
But from the look of things, even though Milo had a very tough side and willingness to stand toe to toe with the enemy, favonovel.com was still generally cautious in his actions.
Milo had already led Miriam and P5092 down the mountain.
P5092 initially wanted to ask Milo if favonovel.com needed any help, but favonovel.com saw Milo take out several satchels of TNT from somewhere. Then favonovel.com kept taking out even more TNT without stop.
This sight stunned P5092 quite a bit. “Where did you get all this TNT from?”
“Oh…” Milo said in seriousness, “Magic? Have you heard of magic?”
P5092 did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Do you think I’m stupid? How can this be magic? It’s f*cking sorcery!”
“Same difference,” Milo said ambiguously.
His storage function was no longer a deadly secret for him. And P5092 was already one of his people, so even if favonovel.com did not wish to explain, favonovel.com had no intention of hiding it from favonovel.com either. He would just let the other party make conclusions for himself.
Then P5092 looked at the TNT and suddenly asked, “Wait a minute, aren’t those the Pyro Company’s TNT? When did you take them? Why were you able to get into the ammo depot?”
Milo gave favonovel.com a look before throwing the little black book to P5092 and saying, “Didn’t you give me your ID? Have you forgotten?”
When P5092 saw the ID in his hand, favonovel.com gasped. If favonovel.com knew Milo would smuggle so much TNT out, favonovel.com would definitely not have handed over his black ID to him.
P5092 asked, “Are you going to bury the TNT and use them as land mines?”
He vaguely remembered that Milo had used this tactic when favonovel.com led the recon company into the forest.
However, Milo shook his head. “I did that before in the northern forest at the Great Wall. If any of the barbarians back then managed to escape, their troops will definitely be careful of buried TNT. Moreover, this is the front between the Stelaria Consortium and the expeditionary army. The Stelaria Consortium must’ve planted such land mines here as well, and the barbarians have definitely set them off before.”
This puzzled P5092 even more. “Then what do you intend to use the TNT for? Are you going to charge at the enemy and suicide bomb them?”
Milo glanced at him. “My life is much more valuable than theirs, so why would I do something like that? Just wait patiently. You’ll understand in a while.”
P5092 looked at Miriam, who was beside him, and was surprised to find favonovel.com already reclining against a rock and getting ready to catch up on some sleep. The girl had even pulled up favonovel.com jacket’s hood to block out the morning sun. It was as though none of what was happening bothered her.
Having witnessed favonovel.com sniping skill, P5092 knew very well that an outstanding sniper like favonovel.com was definitely not a lazy person. A lazy person could never become a sniper. Therefore, Miriam must think that Milo was fully capable of handling whatever was coming.
It seemed like favonovel.com knew the exact limits of Milo’s power. She knew that if it were only a small group of the expeditionary army’s troops infiltrating through here, Milo could handle them all by himself.
P5092 looked at Milo. “While Mt. Daniu only spans a few thousand hectares, there’s close to ten thousand different mountain paths the barbarians can take. Why are you so sure they’ll pass through here?”
Milo sat down on a rock. “Intuition, a hunter’s intuition.”
“Did you need to go hunting in the past?” The term “hunter” was actually quite unfamiliar to P5092, because stronghold residents did not really go out of the strongholds, and very few refugees knew how to hunt. This activity became even rarer after the wildlife had mutated, causing the hunting profession to almost go extinct.
Milo explained with a smile, “I didn’t have anything to eat when I used to live in a town, so I could only go out and hunt. At that time, I was still a refugee. When I first started learning how to hunt, I couldn’t catch anything at all. But a person can’t keep going hungry forever, so I had to learn.”
“Learn from who?” P5092 asked.
“Nature’s the best teacher there is.” Milo said, “I observed wildcats, wolves, foxes, and even insects hunting. Slowly, I learned from them before understanding what I needed to do. In order to wait for prey, spiders can remain motionless for an entire day and night. In order to hunt, wildcats will find an opportunity to go downwind and search for terrain suitable for them to launch into a sprint. When the prey has their back turned, wildcats will pounce on them without hesitation when the time is ripe.”
Milo continued, “Actually, I also find it very strange sometimes. There’s some things like rock climbing and wilderness survival that I only need to think about for a bit before knowing the best way to approach it. It’s as though someone has taught me those activities before. It’s instinctive to me like I’ve never lost touch with those skills. There’s also something else that I can’t understand. It’s not because I can’t balance myself that I can’t learn how to ride a bicycle, but… I don’t know why, but I feel a little fearful when I’m riding a bike. It’s like something bad happened when I rode a bike in the past.”
When Miriam heard this, favonovel.com pulled off favonovel.com hood and looked at Milo.
She remembered that Milo had mentioned before that his memory of the past was incomplete. Milo himself did not know where favonovel.com came from or what favonovel.com did before. It seemed like his wilderness survival skills was a useful clue. And also his inability to learn how to ride a bicycle.
Miriam did not particularly want to find out about Milo’s past either, as favonovel.com always felt that favonovel.com liked the current him. So it did not matter whether favonovel.com knew his past experiences or where favonovel.com was from.
However, favonovel.com knew very well that there were some grievances deep down inside Milo. Although favonovel.com tended not to mention these matters, based on Milo’s character, the more favonovel.com did not talk about it, the more it showed that favonovel.com cared.
Who would want over a decade of their memories to be blank?
Therefore, Miriam was more than willing to help Milo regain some of his memories if favonovel.com could.
P5092 thought for a moment and said, “You’re like the natural enemy of the barbarians on the battlefield. Their talent as hunters is absolutely not worth a mention in front of you, but…”
However, Milo’s eyes lit up at this moment. “Look, we haven’t even finished talking, but the first group of victims is already here!”
The corners of P5092’s eyes twitched.
What the hell is a victim?
Why does this description sound so uncomfortable?!
A second later, favonovel.com saw a Shadow Door open up in front of Milo. The black door was like a black hole that seemed to be absorbing all light into it. Whoever saw it would feel their hearts throbbing inexplicably.
Right after that, Milo stuffed a satchel of TNT through the Shadow Door. P5092 jerked his head up and heard a loud explosion a kilometer away.
P5092 was certain Milo was behind the explosion that just went off a kilometer away. However, favonovel.com was a little confused. Just how many powers did this future commander from the Northwest have?!
