71 Days of Scavenging
Da Mu lay prone in the trench, not bothering to wipe the blood from his head, his eyes fixed on the enemy troops at the edge of his field of vision.
When he heard the rumbling tremors from the ground, he immediately knew that the enemy's tanks were coming again!
Da Mu gripped the gun tightly in his hand, his fingers resting on the fuse.
He was waiting for the tank to approach.
Once the tank gets close, it will only take a few seconds for him to pull the pin and throw it through the window, blasting that steel thing out of the tank!
That thing's shell is too hard; their weapons can't penetrate it at all. The only thing they can do is throw the mines into the vehicle. They absolutely cannot let it get close to our side; our army can't withstand more tank attacks!
As for myself...
Daiki touched the red string on his wrist.
He had made all the preparations. He had been seriously wounded in the previous battle, and since he wouldn't live much longer anyway, he figured he might as well take a few more enemies down with him than live a miserable life!
It can make the enemy's tanks perish with it, and even when they're gone, they're still impressive!
I feel so sorry for my sister, she waited for him for so long for nothing.
However, he had already had someone write his will and put it under his pillow. He also had some money saved up, which he planned to have his surviving comrades send back to his sister so that she could live a good life.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind, but they did not affect Daiki's calculation of the chariot's approach speed in the slightest.
It'll be here soon, it'll be here soon.
Da Mu held his breath, his eyes fixed on the tiny air vent.
Three, two... um??
A sharp and loud bugle call suddenly rang out over the battlefield!
Daiki's eyes widened.
This is our own clarion call!
It's a signal that reinforcements are arriving!
Also, what does this rhythm mean...?
gather?
Before his mind could even process it, Daiki's body had already reflexively rolled to his feet and rushed towards the direction of the horn.
He had only taken two steps when he stopped.
Oh no!
We missed our chance to blow up the enemy tanks!
Moreover, I'm so close to the tank now, the enemy must have spotted me, I'm in trouble!
Daiki thought he would be shot by a bullet the next moment, but instead of a bullet, he heard a sharp scream.
It came from behind.
Da Mu turned his head to look.
The scene before him made his heart pound like a drum.
Fire, a ghostly blue fire, was everywhere.
The enemy's tanks twisted and deformed in the blue flames, while inside, sharp screams rose higher and higher.
The enemy soldiers following behind the tanks were also engulfed and covered by blue flames. They rolled and thrashed on the ground, throwing away their guns and tearing off their clothes one by one, but they could not extinguish the eerie blue fire.
Even more strangely, the fire didn't ignite anything else; even the clothes they took off and threw away didn't burn at all after being removed from their bodies.
Looking at everything before him, Daiki felt as if he were in a dream.
Until another assembly call sounded.
He gritted his teeth and left the eerie place.
However, as he ran, all he saw were patches of eerie blue flames. They would suddenly appear and disappear without a trace, just as they had appeared, until the person being burned fell to the ground without making a sound.
Da Mu's hands and feet went weak.
If it weren't for his unwavering faith and the army's relentless call to arms, he wouldn't know if he would still be able to walk at this moment.
He wasn't the only one in this situation.
The comrades who met up along the way exchanged glances filled with bewilderment and astonishment.
As more and more people gathered, they suddenly realized that those being burned by the ghostly blue flames were all enemy soldiers, not a single one of their own!
Even when a comrade with a leg injury was accidentally tackled by an enemy soldier whose body was engulfed in flames, he was pulled out without getting a single spark on his body.
Is this...is this really not a dream?!
Not only Daiki, but almost everyone had this thought in their minds.
What happened next was something that Daiki felt he could never have dreamed of!
The officer gathered everyone together but did not launch an attack. Instead, he waited quietly in place, watching the dark blue fire burn fiercely on the opposite side.
Only after the fire was extinguished did the soldiers, led by their officers, venture deep into enemy territory. They encountered no resistance whatsoever, and all the enemies, no matter where they were hiding, fell to the ground!
Only a few enemy forces at the very back, too far away, escaped the ghostly fire and fled in utter panic.
They easily seized a large amount of spoils.
After such a stalemate for so many days, the battle was... won?
After the battlefield was cleared, those who were injured were called to the logistics department to receive a dose of medicine. It was extremely effective, even better than the so-called foreign special medicines they had used before!
Even as the army marched north to return to the capital, Damu was still in a daze.
What exactly is this reinforcement force codenamed "Scroll," which he hasn't even seen a single person in?!
.
During the Battle of Guifu, starlight fell from the sky, and the enemy army was routed.
The Battle of Lianghu resulted in a great victory, with the battlefield flooded.
In the Battle of Cangnan, tree leaves transformed into blades and fell, annihilating 200,000 enemy troops.
In the Battle of Weixi, amidst a frozen landscape, our army emerged victorious.
Battle of Leping...
One battle after another, wherever the "Scroll" support team went, the flag of victory fluttered in the wind.
And the reputation of that weapon genius, "Najitong," grew ever stronger.
Everyone knows that what changed the course of the battle was the series of strange weapons he brought out. No one knows exactly how he did it, but he did it!
The overwhelming victory greatly boosted morale, and finally, on that morning when spring turned to summer, the last Japanese army withdrew from Chinese soil.
The war was won in the end, a great victory.
The day after recovering all the occupied territories, North Yan received a peace treaty from the South Chong government.
Nan Zhong is willing to relinquish national power.
There was no other way. With such a powerful new weapon in Beiyan, Nanzhong knew its own limitations. They might not have been able to compete with it before, and now they were firmly suppressed. It was the best outcome for them to consciously negotiate.
With this, China entered a new phase, and a large part of the country entered a period of peace.
Of course, various negotiations and terms need to be carefully discussed, but that's none of the little robot's business.
The first thing the little robot did upon returning to Beiyan was to find Zuo Sheng and ask him where the trash he had left for him was piled up.
Zuo Sheng: "..."
Zuo Sheng was both amused and exasperated. He shook his head and pointed out the location, letting him plunge headfirst into the JSG garbage dump.
As for those words of praise and boasting, let's leave them for next time. It seems like it doesn't matter whether we say them or not.
Finally able to perform its duties, the little robot felt much more relaxed, even its own body parts felt looser.
During this period, in order to end the war as quickly as possible, they were constantly providing support everywhere. The little robot wasn't tired, but it could only pick up food scraps during mealtimes, which was really derelict in its duty as a garbage-collecting robot!
However, the little robot doesn't regret it.
Even if it's just to allow more people to safely sort and recycle their waste, we need to eliminate the war first.
not to mention……
The little robot thought that he was willing to do his part for the motherland that Ren Wenhan and Zuo Sheng would be willing to sacrifice for.
Consider it a reward for them upgrading their emotional intelligence.
Yes, the little robot already knows why its core program was always overheating. In the previous world, its overall program was upgraded, which provided the hardware foundation. In this world, without realizing it, its emotional module began to change.
Now, he has gained some understanding of human emotions.
At least, he could tell at that moment that the two assistants who were examining the experimental equipment seemed quite worried.
The little robot, still fascinated by the fact that humans can convey a variety of emotions through facial muscles and nerve movements, quietly moved closer.
He used to be uninterested in human topics, but now that he suddenly has a mysterious emotional module, he's curious to listen to it.
I wonder if I'll level up and become more and more like a human in the future?
The little robot found a distance where it wouldn't be noticed by the other party, but wouldn't obstruct its ability to hear the sound, and waited there.
The topic the two assistants were discussing wasn't a secret; in fact, it was a very hot topic recently. You could find related comments in any newspaper you flipped through.
And this matter is also related to the little robot.
China has swiftly ended the war, and the domestic situation has suddenly become peaceful, which is great news for the international community.
The "Scroll Project," which played a key role in the project, could not be kept secret from these people with ulterior motives.
Therefore, although Nanzhong submitted a peace agreement, when discussing the details, it made it clear that they would be one family from now on and hoped that Beiyan could share the "Scroll Project".
Even other countries have shamelessly stated that China is too weak to keep such highly lethal weapons and that it would be better to "exchange ideas" with them.
This is a scheme so sophisticated that it could be understood by everyone from an eighty-year-old to a newborn baby.
China was naturally unwilling to accept this.
However, the current situation cannot be ignored. North Yan's influence is not strong enough globally. If other countries unite...
The two assistants are now worried about this very point: how to strike a balance, and whether this will reignite the war.
Unbeknownst to them, the center of the conversation was listening right behind them.
After hearing this, the little robot thought of a human term from the database: "Possessing a treasure is a crime."
Hmm, the human world really is complicated.
The two assistants were still marveling at how quickly peace had come and expressing their concerns about the situation when the little robot stopped listening to what they were saying.
After finishing his work, he went to find the Commander-in-Chief.
Even after the peace was over, the Commander-in-Chief still had a lot to do, but when he heard that the little robot was looking for him, he still made time to meet it.
Upon seeing the little robot, the Commander-in-Chief's first words were reassuring: "Don't worry, you're someone we protect, and we will never hand you over. Fight if you must, we're not afraid!"
The little robot did indeed come for this matter, but what he wanted to say was different from what the Commander-in-Chief wanted to say.
"Thank you, but I have another solution."
The most important thing he learned in this world was that peace is hard-won. What's more, he had contributed to that peace.
I can't bear to destroy it like this.
The little robot curiously experienced the emotions welling up inside it, and then took out a blank magic scroll.
Then, tell the other party about your plans.
.
The Northern Extension publicly invited all those interested in the Scroll Project to give them a final response in ten days.
All eyes immediately turned to them.
The little robot was taken away the day before the negotiations began.
After he left, his house was immediately surrounded by heavily armed guards, so well protected that not even a fly could get in.
No one touched anything in the room; their orders were simply to keep the place under strict protection.
The negotiations proceeded as scheduled the following day.
