The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 660 - 653 Just Getting Started
Chapter 660: Chapter 653 Just Getting Started
Gao Yuan was sent into the medical pod.
Although his injuries looked terrifying, Gao Yuan had suffered even more serious wounds before, and at that time, he didn’t have a medical pod and had to recover on his own.
Therefore, Gao Yuan would still be fine this time, Ram wouldn’t be too worried about him, but Nate was different.
Nate had never seen anyone survive injuries like these, he didn’t understand the importance of Gao Yuan or the significance of the action he had taken.
"How long has it been since we last saw each other?"
While Nate was still in shock, Ram finally found the time to talk to him.
Nate pointed at several immobile Mecha and asked, "What are those?"
"How did you show up out of nowhere? And why so timely?"
"What exactly happened here? What is this stuff, and what is that? What are you all doing with so many monsters..."
Ram had to grab Nate by the shoulders, somewhat out of line, and then he said loudly to Nate, "Hey, hey, buddy, I’m talking to you."
Nate knocked Gao Yuan’s hand away and said very irritably, "Tell me first what happened here!"
Ram thought for a moment and said, "Um, I’ve never found you as cute as you are today, even though it’s common for you to save me and me to save you. But you really helped me a lot, you’ve kept alive the hope of humanity, yes, that’s how significant this is."
Nate asked urgently, "What is humanity’s hope? What are these! Weren’t you attacking Djibouti? How’s the battle going now..."
"We have already taken Djibouti, this one..."
Ram pointed to the Type 59 modification which was held by about ten tanks, hesitated for a moment, and said, "This is an energy vehicle, capable of generating power through controlled nuclear fusion, well, it generates power, not really electricity, but you can think of it as electricity. The electricity drives these Mecha, which are used for combat."
Nate looked shocked and observed the surroundings, "So it’s like this; what weapons were used? How powerful are they? How many of these weapons are there? Is this Shenzhou’s secret weapon?"
Ram felt that it was impossible to explain too much to Nate, mainly because the current situation did not allow him to explain in detail to Nate.
"Listen, shut up, and hear me out, the Serpent People’s mothership is about to arrive here, you got that? We must take all of this away as quickly as possible. How many people did you bring? What’s with this tank unit?"
Nate took a breath, then collected himself and said, "Um, I brought forty-four tanks, thirty-four armored vehicles, a total of seventy-four trucks, no infantry. I knew you were about to launch a general offensive in Djibouti, and I thought you were in trouble. According to what I know about you, you would end up surrounded, only to be rescued by me."
"Eh, I’d like to say you’ve overthought it. My plan was successful, we successfully captured Djibouti, took prisoners from the Sanitation Workers, and captured key members of the Sanitation Worker’s Elder Council."
Nate fell silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Congratulations to you for an unbelievable victory, but what does all this mean now? Your enemies were the Sanitation Workers, yet now you’re faced with aliens’ monsters."
Ram spread his hands and said helplessly, "Alright, buddy, don’t ask so many questions now, we have more important things to do."
"What could be more important than this?"
"Um, do you see that mountain of bugs over there? Also, the Serpent People’s mothership will be here in... four and a half hours. Right now, there are still many ships over our heads, haven’t you even looked up? Most importantly..."
Ram suddenly stopped, looked around, and then said with resigned helplessness, "Look at the environment we’re in, it’s littered with the corpses of monsters, which are all virus-infected. We don’t know how contagious the airborne virus is, but it’s very likely we’ve been infected. In a few hours, or maybe days, we might turn into zombies."
Nate was silent, and Ram laughed, "So why do you still have such a strong curiosity? All of this will soon be unrelated to us. Isn’t the priority to transfer this energy vehicle as quickly as possible?"
Nate removed his military cap, ran his hand through his hair, then put the cap back on his head and began to straighten his collar.
"It’s precisely because we might turn into zombies that I need to know what happened. Tell me, this all has meaning, right?"
"Of course, of course it has meaning. Look, this is the highest technology mankind has in its possession right now, a seed sent by Shenzhou. Buddy, we’re outdated; they are the future."
Nate finished adjusting his uniform and said to Gao Yuan very seriously, "If you show symptoms of turning into a zombie, I will personally shoot you. If I show symptoms before you do, you must shoot me, don’t wait till I become a zombie, you know me."
Ram nodded and said, "Alright, I will relieve you before you turn into a zombie."
To change the subject, Ram added with a grave voice, "Where did those tanks come from, and what were the casualties?"
"The tanks were left behind by the Sanitation Workers. I arrived at Malakal when you had already left. I originally wanted to catch up with you traveling light, but considering you had deployed all your special forces, and the Angels wouldn’t make much of a difference, I conscripted the tanks you had captured from the Sanitation Workers. I departed two days after you, but arrived only twelve hours later."
"What’s the point of your last statement?"
Nate looked at Ram with a serious expression and said, "The Angels are the best. You just got lucky."
Ram was taken aback and took a deep breath, "Forget it, I’m not going to argue with you. If you want to be the best Mercenary Corps, go ahead, I’m not a mercenary anymore."
Nate fell silent.
Amidst the roaring of tank engines, a total of eleven tanks began to move together, towing the massive Type 59 modification.
The Type 59 modification also had tracks, it was not just a big lump of iron, so the eleven tanks were pulling it along quite easily.
Ram took a long breath and then said with a smile, "I’ll say it again, you came just in time..."
Nate calmly asked, "Continue escorting or enter Djibouti?"
"Escort, this convoy is more important than Djibouti. The Sanitation Workers have already colluded with the Serpent People, so the mothership’s arrival may not necessarily have any particularly severe consequences, but we don’t know what the Serpent People want to do. All we can do now is wait."
"Who’s in Djibouti?"
"Poseidon."
Nate thought for a moment, then nodded. "Poseidon will do. So, is this battle finally coming to a total end?"
Ram looked at Nate and said with a bitter smile, "No, I feel it’s just the beginning. It’s just that the protagonists are no longer us."
