In a certain location in the wilderness, Underground Pixiu and Lucius, carrying Tao Enhai’s brain, arrived at a predetermined spot.

They would wait here for about five minutes.

After the five minutes, regardless of whether the others had come, they would take the prearranged withdrawal route B.

“I hope they come…” Lucius prayed so.

Iron Dust is a good tactical weapon, but randomly releasing Iron Dust in the open wilderness is not a practice to be encouraged.

If the enemy is determined, they could simply bombard the entire area covered by Iron Dust.

Space-based weapons would suffice.

This time, the Heroes could deploy Iron Dust because Great Hero Baiman charged directly into the enemy’s formation—detonating a metal aerosol bomb on-site.

At the same time, all the Protectors who wanted to attack with heavy firepower were eliminated by him as a priority.

Tanks also topped the list of targets to be destroyed.

After creating chaos within the enemy lines, the Heroes then gradually detonated other metal aerosol bombs, causing widespread coverage.

The metal aerosols, due to the high wind speed, would keep shifting southward, and in a few minutes, they would sever the communication of the southern blockade line.

By then, they could break through the blockade by leveraging the advantage of individual soldiers.

Save as many as you can.

Soon, the first group arrived, led by Solo Kill King Jader.

He, Tan, and another Warrior who had learned a bit of the Path of the War Chariot, rode in vehicles prepared to attract enemy attention once the surgical area was about to be exposed.

Now that Baiman had advanced, they naturally could withdraw.

Solo Kill King looked toward Lucius and asked, “Where’s ‘that guy’?”

“The Nameless Hero?” Lucius said, “He mentioned he was a bit weary, so he’s taking a short break and told us to go ahead.”

Jader was taken aback, “Why not have him rest in the vehicle?”

Underground Pixiu said somewhat helplessly, “I tried persuading him but to no avail.

He insisted on resting—what can we do?

If he doesn’t arrive later, should we wait a bit longer for him?”

After contemplating for a moment, the Solo Kill King said, “That guy must have his own considerations.

If he doesn’t arrive later, he might have found his own way to break through.

We don’t need to wait for him specifically.”

Tan seemed a bit uneasy, “Is that so?”

The Solo Kill King tapped Tan’s shoulder, “Buddy, give me another junk message, one with a smoother taste.”

“Again?

At this time?” Tan swiped over his storage compartment at his waist, then tossed a long USB drive to the Solo Kill King.

Solo Kill King inserted it into his own port, “Haven’t smoked one in a long time.

Plus, it might be the last one in my life, you know.

I think you need it too.”

Tan shook his head.

“Give me one as well,” another voice came through the gusts of sand at that moment.

Warriors Xing Yi and Chai Lao, both primarily skilled in Firearms Path, emerged from the sandy winds.

“You’re here?” Solo Kill King asked.

“Yeah.”

Tan also threw a junk message over.

Xing Yi caught it and plugged it into his port.

“How about the Nameless Hero?

Didn’t see him?”

Lucius repeated the conversation they had just had.

“Well, after all, he is …” Xing Yi said, “The Nameless Hero should have a way.”

“Great Hero Baiman better escape soon, so we can all…”

Chai Lao’s Prosthetic Eye flickered with a dim light, like a breathing light, signaling sadness.

He said, “Actually, I feel that my brother Xing Yi and I shouldn’t be retreating.

Before withdrawing, we saw the arrival of the high-ranking Fraser.

His Prosthetic Body is very powerful…”

Lucius exclaimed, “Isn’t that putting Hero Bai in danger…”

“Quiet!” Xing Yi shook his head, then addressed Chai Lao, “That Prosthetic Body’s maximum speed has already surpassed our tracking range.

Besides, the power of our weapons is insufficient.

From seven kilometers away, we likely can’t break through that Prosthetic Body’s defense.

Exposing ourselves would only cause trouble for Great Hero Baiman.” Then, he turned towards Lucius, “Great Hero Baiman’s Martial Arts are superior to ours, perhaps he’s enough to breach that deadlock?

Think positively, maybe in a few minutes, that guy will appear before us with a roar?”

But those words did not come true.

The remaining few minutes quickly elapsed.

Lucius couldn’t help feeling restless, “The Nameless Hero may be too tired…

I’ll go fetch…”

“We don’t have much time left in our window,” the Solo Kill King pointed out calmly.

“The wind will soon carry Iron Dust over.

By then, we’ll be exposed to enemy satellite surveillance and drone searches.

We must break through the blockade while they’re still unresponsive, catch up with the sandstorm, and use the dust to cover our tracks.”

“But the Nameless Hero is…”

“It doesn’t matter who he is in this matter!” Jader exclaimed, “Proceed according to the predetermined plan!”

Lucius looked at Tan.

Tan nodded as well, “Let’s stick to the plan.”

The Heroes now controlled three vehicles.

Underground Pixiu, Lucius, and Tao Enhai’s brain shared one.

Lucius’s Martial Arts were underdeveloped, Underground Pixiu had no combat ability, and Tao Enhai was left with only the cerebral cortex.

This trio was fragile, hence their vehicle was the most defensively fortified.

The Solo Kill King and Tan used another vehicle meant to attract attention; it was lightweight, had weaker defense, but faster speed.

The two Snipers utilized the vehicle with the strongest firepower.

All other vehicles had been dismantled.

The Warrior who practiced a bit of the Path of the War Chariot exited his vehicle and entered the one with the strongest firepower.

He would work with Chai Lao to control this War Chariot.

The AI he left behind would take over his vehicle.

This vehicle could draw some of the attention.

When the AI determined the vehicle could no longer advance, it was set to self-destruct with the surplus explosives inside.

Xing Yi stood ready on the vehicle with Tao Enhai’s brain, setting up the Firearms.

“`

And Solo Kill King along with Tan stood on the ground.

They were faster than the vehicles, able to move outside and eliminate some scattered soldiers approaching the vehicles.

When necessary, they could also engage in combat with Martial Artists nearing the vehicles—although doing so within enemy lines would inevitably lead to “martyrdom,” they didn’t care much anymore.

Lucius’s hands and feet were trembling.

But he still resolutely crawled out of the vehicle.

Xing Yi was somewhat surprised.

He said, “Are you sure you’re okay?

You’re a doctor, just stay inside, no one would think…”

“I’m also a Hero!” Lucius said, “How could I let my brothers fight outside while I hide alone inside the vehicle?”

“Hey, youngster…” the voice of Underground Pixiu came through the loudspeaker, “Are you insulting me under your breath?”

Lucius was greatly embarrassed, “How could that be…

Big Brother Pixiu, you still have to take charge of getting my master out of here, this…”

“Haha.” Xing Yi let out a good-natured laugh: “This is different than the plan.

Without Great Hero Baiman here, it’s not going to be easy to break through.”

Lucius said with difficulty, “I am not afraid…”

“Hahahaha…

Don’t worry…”

Xing Yi inserted a chain of rounds into the gun chamber, “I’ll stand right here, just go for it and kill.”

After preparations were complete, the group quickly moved southward.

A minute later, acceleration finished.

The side of the unmanned vehicle opened up, with a series of missiles soaring into the sky.

They would cross beyond the range of Iron Dust, falling towards the blockade line.

Under the cover of Iron Dust, neither side could accurately detect the movements of the other.

However, Heroes had a small advantage—the blockade line wouldn’t move.

All they needed to do was input the coordinates.

The noise of the vehicle’s advance and footsteps could be captured by the enemy Martial Artists.

So at this time, a series of explosions were needed to mask this activity.

The missiles would reach the battlefield half a second earlier than the Heroes.

Amidst the roaring sound, Heroes approached the blockade line, and the enemies were momentarily thrown into chaos by the explosions.

The Heroes instantly broke through the inner layer of the blockade.

—There’s another one…

Tan thought so to himself.

The enemy had set up two layers of blockade.

This was one layer.

The second layer couldn’t be bypassed so easily anymore.

Because the series of noises just now had definitely alerted the second blockade line.

“Here they come…” Xing Yi shouted.

Actually, without his word, a series of bullets were already hurtling towards them.

The Heroes responded with missiles.

After crossing the estimated point, that fastest vehicle also started to accelerate, charging head-on into the bullets.

And Solo Kill King and Tan followed closely behind this vehicle, rushing forward rapidly.

Xing Yi also returned fire based on the sound of gunfire.

The first to charge into the enemy lines was the vehicle.

A Martial Artist using a Heavy Prosthesis grappled it.

Since most vehicles have a low center of gravity, once they are flipped, it’s hard to quickly recover balance.

Most modern Martial Artists know how to deal with tanks using wrestling techniques.

But Tan leaped up, pressed his pistol against that guy’s neck, and fired repeatedly.

Solo Kill King, holding a long weapon, executed a Sweeping strike, pushing back several nearby people.

Then he kicked the Cybernetically Enhanced Person trying to flip the vehicle into the air.

The vehicle continued to advance, toppling several layers of Soldiers.

In the disrupted formation, Jader and Tan thrived.

Xing Yi’s bullets also suppressed the surrounding soldiers for the two of them.

Then, the other two vehicles also charged into the enemy lines.

It was just a “single” line of the blockade.

Only a few hundred meters distanced them.

Theoretically, not many people should have been gathered there.

But at that moment, in the Warriors’ perception, countless Protectors’ Soldiers converged from all directions like a tide.

There was nothing more to say, just fight.

As long as they broke through these layers of enemies, there would be a path to life!

Without any reservations left, Xing Yi and Chai Lao completely forgot their usual frugality, desperately expending the vehicle’s ammunition on the enemies in front of them.

Tan, Solo Kill King, and Lucius also displayed their full range of external strength, using every part of their bodies to attack the enemies up close.

Minutes later, the vehicle that had been at the forefront exploded.

Perhaps it finally hit some fortification, and it couldn’t get around it!

Under the embrace of Iron Dust, Heroes fought for their lives!
