"Huh?"
Pretty impressive? Didn't complete the ultimate tempering? Can these two descriptions be put together?
Zheng Zaishun couldn't understand it.
Wells was a bit entangled, but then he became indifferent: there was nothing to deny.
He said, "I'm not as good as him. I have been defeated by him."
"What?" Zheng Zaishun couldn't understand anymore. He had already opened the genetic lock and had a development level on the Jianbi Chain, but even so, after witnessing the might of Wells's iron fist, even if he took the field himself, he would not dare to say he was certain of victory - perhaps only about seventy percent chance of winning.
Well's realm suppression was remarkable for it to give him such a feeling.
However, if as Wells said, the Levi who could defeat him, would it mean that Levi was capable of surpassing himself before completing the ultimate forging?
That's too magical!
Zheng Zaishun couldn't believe it.
Wells sighed and said, "That's the truth."
"Well, okay..." Zheng Zaishun still had some doubts, but he was not planning to say anything more.
A moment later, the communicator sounded again, and Li Wei's voice came out of the speaker: "Let's discuss the tactics for what's next. We are planning to strike from behind when that group of half-mechanical creatures attacks you again. At that time, we hope you can cooperate."
Zheng Zaishun's attitude was not as enthusiastic as the first time he talked with Li Wei. He said, "How to cooperate? Tell me, I'll consider it."
"Among you, there is an Evolutionary with a Barrier Chain and one with a Power Chain, right? So, when those half-mechanical creatures launch an attack, I hope you can come out of the defensive line and charge. After attracting the enemy's attention, our squad will directly strike from the rear. We are confident that we can eliminate those half-mechanical infantry in twenty seconds, weaken their long-range firepower, and also pin down that flesh giant. Then we can just encircle and eliminate it together."
After hearing this, Zheng Zaishun became unhappy: "You want us to act as bait to attract the enemy? I can hold out for twenty seconds, but will you be able to come and support in time at that moment?"
"If I say it's doable, it's doable."
Zheng Zaishun became even angrier: "You haven't even completed the extreme tempering process, what are you boasting about here?"
Impulsively, he said something he shouldn't have, and Zheng Zaishun regretted his words as soon as he spoke them.
There was a long silence from the other side, with no response.
Zheng Zaishun became a little anxious. He really couldn't swallow his pride and apologize to someone who hadn't completed the extreme tempering process, but if that person really left, his team's mission would definitely fail, and he didn't know who among the squad would die when they broke through the encirclement.
He turned his head and looked at his two brothers, who were looking at him with hope, and his heart softened.
"I'm sorry, Brother Li Wei, I'm known for my foul mouth, and I said something I shouldn't have. I apologize to you, please don't take it to heart."
He could only apologize.
There's still no response from over there.
"Hello? Hello? Is there anyone there?"
Still no sound.
Zheng Zaishun panicked, he looked towards Wells, hoping this local from the Clover Guild could come forward and say something.
"Alas..." Wells sighed heavily, walked forward two steps, and took the microphone.
"Hello, this is Wells."
After a moment, there was finally a voice from the other side.
A female voice came: "Wells? Why are you here? Aren't you supposed to be in the hospital?"
"Let's not discuss that. The person who just spoke was a peer from the Iron Cross Avenue, he spoke out of turn, I hope you don't mind, Levi. There are three to four hundred refugees here, if you leave, they will have no hope of survival."
"So you do care about these things."
Such mocking words, of course, were not said by Cai Yutong, it was Levi's voice.
Wells felt particularly choked in his chest, almost spitting out blood.
He took a deep breath and said, "Li Wei, what is the difference between you and me from the past? Ignoring the lives of hundreds of people just for a moment of anger?"
"Oh, judging by your words, you have really turned over a new leaf," Li Wei said, "I'm not as naive as you. I was indeed packing up just now, getting ready to retreat. It's not because of a moment of anger, the brother next to you obviously doesn't believe us, and his tone doesn't mean he wants to cooperate with us. The enemy is strong, and I also have to consider the safety of our team's lives. If you don't cooperate with us to launch an attack, we won't take the risk either."
Zheng Zaishun hurriedly said on the side, "I'm sorry, brother, that's not what I meant. Just as you said, next time those monsters attack, I will take the lead."
"That's good then. I'll be blunt in advance, if you don't act, we won't move, hoping you can seize the opportunity."
"No problem."
After ending the call, Zheng Zaishun let out a long sigh of relief, feeling more at ease after all.
"Wait a minute, are we really going to lead the charge? That means braving a hail of bullets!" his comrade beside him said worriedly.
Zheng Zaishun replied with a wry smile, "What can we do? They have the initiative, and I impulsively said the wrong thing. After that, there was no room for bargaining at all."
After speaking, he took a glance at Wells. Just now, the conversation between Wells and the person on the other end of the communication device seemed somewhat abnormal. It seemed as if Wells had some other story with them.
However, this kind of thing had nothing to do with him. He said, "Let it be, I'm going to talk to the De Wilde brothers. If we want to take the initiative later, we still need their support."
Wells said, "I'll charge with you later."
Zheng Zaishun said, "It's very dangerous, and you haven't unlocked your genes."
"It's okay."
"Then, suit yourself."
...
About twenty minutes later, the enemy made a comeback.
The strategies initially adopted by the mechanical constructs still involve suppressing firepower. The K5 rifles of the cybernetic infantry, along with the high-speed rotary machine guns carried by the flesh giants, fiercely sprayed their firepower.
It was also because this group didn't have artillery; otherwise, if there had been one or two here, it is estimated that the defense line in front of the Minggao Community would have already been breached.
Zheng Zaishun, Wells, and Wilde, who had already prepared, were all fully armed and crouching behind the most forward cover at this time.
Zheng Zaishun gestured to the other two, then took a deep breath, and then rushed out of the cover!
He held a piece of iron plate, which was unknown where it came from, in both hands to protect his chest. But this iron plate was quickly shot riddled with holes and completely torn apart under the dense storm of steel.
Zheng Zaishun discarded the iron plate - his defense strength was never relied on this thing!
A force from the depths of his body surged to the surface, turning his entire body gray, making him resemble a rock!
