323: Chapter 323 Ling Su Adjusts Attack Route

"What was that sound just now?" Ling Tian asked after Ling Su entered.

"Senior Brother, all our Giant Ant Legion gathering points were simultaneously attacked and almost completely wiped out," Ling Su replied melancholically.

She blamed herself a little, feeling like she was holding Ling Tian back.

"What? How much damage?" Ling Tian was shocked.

"The Giant Ant Legion had already left, so there was almost no damage, but those zombies should have been eliminated," Ling Su said.

Why did she say "should have"? That's because she couldn't control ordinary low-level zombies, so she wasn't sure about the exact losses. However, since the third-level zombies couldn't be contacted, it was estimated that not many low-level ones remained.

"That's good!" Ling Tian breathed a sigh of relief.

Zombies were actually dispensable to him.

After taking over Ulan Country, those zombies lost their purpose.

What he relied on most were the three major legions controlled by Ling Su: the Rat Rabbit Legion, the Dung Beetle Legion, and the Giant Ant Legion.

Of course, he also had his trump card.

His trump card was the Modified human.

"Strange, why do they know our deployment so precisely?" Ling Tian said.

"I'm not sure either. So far, no traces of Hua Country people have been found in Bale District and Zhuerhe District," Ling Su shook her head.

Being able to pinpoint their location without anyone investigating seemed unreasonable.

"Do you think they might know our hiding place?" Ling Tian asked.

"Senior Brother, why don't we... retreat quickly? I don't think it's very safe here either," Ling Su felt it was highly possible and mustered her courage to say.

She believed that if Hua Country had the ability to destroy those giant ant gathering points, they naturally also had the ability to destroy their current location.

"Of course we're going to retreat, but now is not the time," Ling Tian said.

"But what if their missiles..." Ling Su didn't continue.

"Don't be afraid, Hua Country has always prided itself on being a benevolent army. There are so many people here, they won't do that," Ling Tian comforted her.

Ling Su nodded and said no more. However, it was evident that she was still very worried.

She wasn't worried about herself; she was primarily concerned about Ling Tian being in danger.

Like most girls in love, her entire heart was with Ling Tian.

The Giant Ant Legion had already begun to directly encounter the Simulation Spider Robots.

The Simulation Spider Robots used buildings as cover, launching ambushes simultaneously in multiple locations.

Tens of thousands of robots occupied the high ground, simultaneously opening fire, outnumbering and rapidly harvesting the lives of the Armored Ants.

Ling Su realized something was wrong and quickly adjusted her strategy.

The Giant Ant Legion stopped advancing and began to gather. The urban area was narrow, and the Armored Ants' movements were very slow. Under these circumstances, engaging in street warfare with those spider robots would be very disadvantageous.

She adjusted the marching route, first advancing south from Zhuerhe District, entering Boduohan Mountain, and then crossing Boduohan Mountain westward into Wu La Han District. This would avoid a direct encounter with the Simulation Spider Robots ambushing in Bale District.

If the Hua Country military wanted to intercept them, they would have to go to Boduohan Mountain. That area was sparsely populated with no obstacles, which would greatly diminish the robots' advantage.

However, this adjustment also came at a cost. The Armored Ants in Bale District would have to first move east into Zhuerhe District, and this stretch of the journey would be very difficult. The Simulation Spider Robots would continuously harass them from behind, leading to very severe losses.

But Ling Su couldn't worry about that much anymore; if a batch died, then a batch died.

...

Dai Zheng's side had also already departed.

The anti-gravity aircraft slowly ascended, flew out of the iron tower's protective range, and headed north.

He was ordered by Shen Tu Zheng Hao to investigate the detention location of the remaining nearly 100,000 Hua Country Citizens.

Taking this opportunity, he also had to continue carrying out Oriental Chen's mission: to investigate the truth behind the artificial control of those animals.

Aboard the aircraft, in addition to the base Special Operations Team, there were also 5 Modified human captives given to him by Shen Tu Zheng Hao.

"Will anyone answer where those Hua Country Citizens you previously captured are being held?" Dai Zheng asked, coming to the detention area of the 5 captives after the aircraft took off.

He only asked symbolically, holding no hope for their confession.

As expected, no one answered.

"Not cooperating is even better; it's a good chance to see how powerful this medicine is," Dai Zheng said, pulling out a vial of medicine.

This medicine was what Oriental Chen often used to scare people during interrogations, but it had only been used once.

Oriental Chen told him that this medicine was very potent and that ordinary people couldn't withstand it, which always made him curious.

"Let me see, him, give it to him," Dai Zheng said, handing the medicine to a Special Operations Team member.

The Special Operations Team member took the medicine and walked towards the captive.

The captive looked very panicked and tried to struggle and evade, but he was tied too tightly to escape.

The Special Operations Team member bit off the protective cap and swiftly injected it.

In at most 5 seconds, the medicine took effect.
