62 Days of Scavenging
"No! The enemy has too many of them, and our firepower isn't enough!"
"Get behind the car! Everyone else, don't stick your heads out! Watch out, there's someone at the 8 o'clock position on the left!"
"Get out of the way!"
Just by looking at the commotion ahead, you can imagine how intense the battle is.
Ren Wenhan and the other two people in the car were also very anxious.
Upon hearing reports outside that their firepower was insufficient, Ren Wenhan disregarded everything else, nudged his companion, and said, "Let's use what's in our vehicle!"
Yun Sheng and Sun Xin'ou were also deeply worried about the war situation outside.
Upon hearing Ren Wenhan's suggestion, he immediately slapped his forehead.
"Look at me, I forgot about this. Get it, hurry up and get it!"
They've been researching new weapons all along, just to give us a greater advantage on the battlefield. If they don't use them now, when will they?
What, you're saying the enemy will discover the clues beforehand?
That's overthinking it. Although we don't want to admit it, the gap between them and foreign countries is huge. Their so-called new weapons are just trying their best to catch up with foreign countries.
Of course, Ren Wenhan firmly believes that the situation will improve one day, and our country will definitely become stronger.
Now, the three of them quickly retrieved the weapons hidden in the car and luggage, and assembled them rapidly, racing against time.
The researchers in a few other vehicles were also heading in the same direction as them.
Fortunately, the guards who escorted these people to safety had all participated in the testing during the weapons' development and manufacturing process. Now, as soon as they received the new weapons, they quickly and skillfully put them into combat.
With the addition of new weapons, the situation of suppression on our side improved slightly.
However, Ren Wenhan and the others did not relax.
They knew that the ammunition for the new weapons was insufficient.
No one had anticipated this. The ammunition they had was only prepared for testing, and it wouldn't last long in actual combat.
“At this rate, the convoy won’t be able to break through the enemy’s lines. Is the radio working? Are there any support teams nearby?” Ren Wenhan asked the bodyguard who was driving the convoy.
The latter was specifically left in the car to look after these few valuable researchers.
The driver shook his head when Ren Wenhan asked him the question.
The atmosphere inside the car became even more tense.
Yun Sheng glanced at Sun Xin'ou and Ren Wenhan, and suddenly said, "The only important thing I have here is the contents of this file package. Wait a minute... take it and leave while it's still dark."
As for himself, he needed to have someone in the car to provide cover and help him maneuver.
Clearly, Yun Sheng was already considering what to do if his side were to lose.
Even if the people on the other side didn't know that their team was a weapons laboratory beforehand, they would find out after the battle.
Yun Sheng's words caused Ren Wenhan and Sun Xin'ou's expressions to change.
Before the two could say anything, Yun Sheng stated that of the three, his project was the least technically demanding, and anyone else could do it, it would just take a little more time. One of them had brought the most advanced foreign secrets, and the other was younger, with knowledge no less than his. Under these circumstances, sacrificing him to save the second best option was the best choice.
No matter how much the three argued, none of them mentioned handing over Ji Tong.
The little robot listened quietly from the side.
While the three men were arguing about how to escape and cover themselves, their hands never stopped assembling new weapons and loading ammunition.
Just then, the little robot suddenly pointed at the component in Ren Wenhan's hand and said, "Do you have a larger size of this ammunition pipe?"
Ren Wenhan was taken aback.
Yun Sheng and Sun Xin'ou also glanced at them.
Only then did the three notice that, despite the fact that the battle was taking place right outside the car, the white-haired boy remained as calm as ever.
It was as if the sounds outside weren't gunshots, but rather a series of firecrackers.
For some reason, none of the three of them put the little robot's question out of their minds.
Whether it was their intuition or their years of experience in judging people, they were told that the young man in front of them might bring them a surprise.
At this moment, the three of them had no idea that the snow-haired boy brought not just a small surprise, but a super big surprise that almost scared their hearts out and nearly shattered their worldview!
Ren Wenhan took out a ballistic kit from the weapon parts box, which was full of ballistic trajectories of various models.
"Do you have the large size you mentioned?" Ren Wenhan told the little robot to find it itself.
Only after I finished did I remember to ask, "By the way, what do you need this for?"
Zuo Sheng and Sun Xin'ou were also watching the little robot's every move.
Of course, while the three of them were focused on the small robot, their hands continued to work. These were actions they had performed countless times in the laboratory, and their speed in assembling the weapon did not decrease at all.
The little robot wasn't afraid of being watched. He took the parts he wanted, picked and chose, and took some parts from other weapon boxes. He quickly assembled them.
In the blink of an eye, a strange gun that looked like a toy appeared in his hand.
Once everything was ready, he took a scroll from his bundle and, using the same method as loading ammunition, placed it into the gun.
The scroll was naturally taken from the warehouse under the cover of the bundle.
After he finished, he handed it directly to the driver outside the front guard vehicle.
"Just imagine the enemy's attire in your mind and fire it about a meter above their heads," the little robot explained.
The driver's attention was focused outside the car, on guard against anyone shooting at it, and he didn't notice that the weapon was assembled by this "family member." Although it looked strange and he had never seen it before, he thought it was a newly developed weapon.
Upon hearing the instructions, although the method was a bit strange, the driver still obeyed the order without saying a word, and aimed his gun at the battlefield outside the car.
At this moment, the little robot answered Ren Wenhan's question: "Didn't you say that weapons and ammunition are in short supply? I should be able to help."
As soon as he finished speaking, before Ren Wenhan and the other two could say anything, a burst of golden light suddenly shone brightly outside!
"Ah!—What is this?!"
"careful!!!"
"Get out of the way!! Everyone get out of the way!!!"
"Quick, get out of the way! Don't let them touch you!!"
"Retreat! Retreat!—"
The golden light was dazzling, as bright as day.
The air was filled with the crisp sound of bells.
Gold-type area-of-effect magic - Song of Radiance.
A non-lethal high-level magic that can automatically lock onto hostile targets, accurately hit enemies with its spells, and instantly harden and solidify their bodies.
Its freezing time depends on the enemy's magic resistance.
For those with high magical power, the effect might only last for a second.
However, the humans in this world do not possess magic.
The little robot looked out the car window at the human figures that appeared like sculptures as the golden light faded, and began to compile observation charts to assess the effectiveness of the magic scrolls in the new world.
However, the others were not as calm as he was.
The driver who fired the shot stared wide-eyed at the scene before him, a scene more surreal than a dream, and could hardly believe it was real!
But he saw it clearly; it was indeed caused by the shot he had just fired!
At that moment, his hand holding the gun couldn't help but tremble, then he gripped it tightly again, afraid that he might accidentally drop this precious item on the ground.
Oh my god, what kind of new weapon is this?!
Can it be mass-produced?! If our entire army were equipped with such weapons, wouldn't we be able to win the war?!
Those on the battlefield were even more bewildered.
The battle was in full swing when suddenly a strange golden light appeared. When the light faded, the enemies were all frozen in place!
And those little golden bells that chase after the enemy not only light up and ring, but also turn on their own!
What is this thing?!
For a moment, everyone stood there, looking at each other in bewilderment.
Inside the car, Ren Wenhan, Zuo Sheng, and Sun Xin'ou were completely speechless.
My mind is completely blank.
What just happened?
.
Bei Yan had already received news that the weapons laboratory was coming, and the research lab had been prepared in advance, with people guarding the city gate at any time to provide support.
They received word that one of the researchers was an important figure who had returned from abroad after a difficult journey. Fearing that he might not be used to the local cuisine, the person in charge of receiving him specially prepared Western food.
However, when they saw the convoy, they were surprised to find that the person who was being closely protected by everyone in the convoy was too young.
Still has white hair, is this the important research professor who returned from abroad? You could easily mistake him for a student, he's truly amazing!
The staff warmly greeted him: "Mr. Ren, you've worked hard. The motherland warmly welcomes you!"
Little robot: "..."
Hmm, is this human's eye diseased?
I scanned it, but there's nothing there.
