Armor-Piercing Munition: Face Me, Carbon-Based Monster! Chapter 220 - 87 How Many Composite Battalions Are There in

"Put down your weapons!"

"Everyone put down your weapons!"

Instantly, the movents of the Guard Brigade soldiers halted completely.

Jin Zhong was the first to drop his weapon.

The other soldiers followed his lead, and he continued to speak loudly:

"We an no harm!"

"The peace agreent between the chanical God Sect and the Huaxia Army remains unbroken! We are grateful for your assistance in fighting the monsters!"

"We only ca to negotiate!"

"We just need to confirm whether you are willing to continue cooperating!"

As his voice fell, a beam of light focused on Jin Zhong’s face.

He involuntarily closed his eyes, blinded by the strong light, but continued as if casting aside all fear:

"I know you suspect ! But I’ve t your leader! Right inside the Anqing Ruins!"

"He must know ! I want to speak with him!"

Once his words finished, the beam of light moved away from him.

After a brief pause, a calm voice said:

"Remove your armor, put down your weapons."

"Follow the drone’s light in the sky."

"You have been granted temporary permission, but if any act of hostility occurs..."

"Boom!"

A loud explosion sounded less than a hundred ters in front of Jin Zhong.

Their powerful threat required no verbal explanation...

.....

Two hours later, guided by drones, Jin Zhong led his team of 50 closer to the core of the Jinling Ruins.

He was utterly sure that this was indeed the true core area.

He was equally sure that those so-called "Mimic Heretics" and "Huaxia Army" had already unlocked the final treasure.

The reason was simple.

He saw it.

He saw the bright and magnificent lights, even surpassing the Holy Trinity’s, saw the silhouettes moving vaguely in the lights, saw the massive machines beneath the lights.

The chanical God Sect once possessed these things.

But ti had ravaged everything, and as those holy machines left by the ancient Saints gradually rusted, the chanical God Sect beca increasingly decayed as well.

Perhaps, this ruin should have been the beginning of the Holy Trinity’s resurgence.

But now, it had fallen into the hands of the Huaxia Army.

Do they know how to use the Holy Machines?

Do they know how to appease the chanical Soul?

Jin Zhong felt a bit of regret and dissatisfaction, but in the end, he simply continued forward in silence.

----However, when he finally walked beneath those lights, his dissatisfaction was instantly swept away by fear and awe.

He could not comprehend what he was seeing.

Clearly unmanned humanoid robots hovering in the air, a vast number of drones, and the armor he had only seen in Jinling City, long since immobilized and reduced to "sculptures"...

Jin Zhong walked forward in a daze.

For a mont, he even felt like he was already in the divine kingdom of the Holy Trinity.

Perhaps, this was a good ending?

Jin Zhong thought this.

But suddenly, a voice from the four suits of armor shattered his illusion.

"I didn’t expect to et you again."

"It seems your luck isn’t bad, to have survived that monster’s clutches."

Jin Zhong imdiately recognized the voice.

He nodded slowly, then spoke without arrogance or inferiority:

"Survival wasn’t my desire; I should have gone to the divine kingdom with those warriors."

"But in any case, I must thank you for your assistance."

"You saved my life at the last mont."

"Thank you."

Jin Zhong slightly bent in a shallow bow, and after he finished speaking, Chen Jian, who stood before him, nodded in acknowledgnt and then said:

"Your words aren’t annoying, and you haven’t been utterly consud by religious fervor. Most importantly, you were indeed brave against the monsters."

"So honestly, I don’t hold much prejudice against you."

"That’s why you can be here."

"But I’m curious, why did you co here?"

"Don’t you know that each eting with us is a life-and-death gamble for you?"

"I know."

Jin Zhong straightened up, looking at Chen Jian, who hadn’t removed his helt, and replied:

"But I have no choice."

"In front of you, there’s no need to hide my intentions."

"Our task is simple, to understand your strength and confirm your stance."

"The chanical God Sect—no, to be precise, Jinling City—must know whether you have plans to attack Jinling."

"And whether you have the capability to take Jinling City."

"I think, as a fellow soldier, you should understand my mission."

"Even if our peace agreent still exists, vigilance remains a necessary virtue."

"Indeed."

Chen Jian nodded in agreent, but then asked:

"Do you think it has any aning?"

"Vigilance is a virtue, and it’s wise to be prepared for danger in tis of peace."

"Since you’ve already considered us a potential enemy, you should always be ready for an attack."

"Your task is aningless, it’s better for you to stay in Jinling City than to co here to die."

"Perhaps your team of 50 might allow Jinling City to hold off for...1 more minute?"

Arrogant.

On the surface, Chen Jian’s words were extrely arrogant, but Jin Zhong sadly realized that his judgnt was sowhat modest.

One minute?
