The Military Camp

A topographic map of Labia quickly appeared in the five people's souls. Zhang Hao said decisively, "Good! We'll deliver the money within a week!"

The other side was stunned, completely caught off guard. However, they weren't worried, as the place where the hostages were held was within the military camp.

The other side was also direct, "Call this number when you arrive!"

A blinking dot appeared on the map, and the image zoomed in rapidly. Zhang Hao couldn't help but ask, "Where did this satellite imagery come from?"

Mi Feng replied, "We have our stealth satellites up there."

Zhang Hao had to admire Mi Feng's resourcefulness and power. To actually have satellites was incredible.

For the people of Blue Star in this era, launching a satellite was no easy feat, requiring rockets, various conditions, and immense cost. But for Mi Feng, it was not a big deal at all. The satellites could fly into space on their own, silently solving the satellite problem.

Zhang Hao used his authority and immediately discovered that there were three satellites roaming in this sky alone, and over three hundred various satellites globally.

Mi Feng said, "This is just the beginning of the deployment. It's enough for now, and we'll add more later."

It was a large military camp, with over three thousand soldiers, seven tanks, forty-three armored personnel carriers, three hundred and twenty pickup trucks, seventeen anti-aircraft machine guns, and eleven ancient mountain cannons.

Zhang Hao calculated the entire camp's armament and found it terrifying. This was no ordinary armed force; it had to be the country's army.

Mi Feng said, "It's normal. It is indeed the army. To be precise, it's a rebel army! And there's a military base next to it with over nine thousand soldiers!"

Zhang Hao said, "No wonder they resorted to kidnapping for ransom. Rebel armies need money. What a pity! You've provoked us." His inner thought was, Even if Mi Feng wanted souls, he couldn't find an excuse to kill. You're practically delivering yourselves.

Hospitals weren't incapable of collecting souls, but those souls were too fragile, the vessels unsuitable. Souls dissipated easily, and the patients in hospitals were almost like candles in the wind, scattering at the slightest disturbance. The best souls were always between eighteen and forty years old.

After a certain age, souls naturally weakened, like a cracked pot that couldn't hold much water.

Mi Feng said, "See this?"

There was a courtyard in the military camp, with grating covering the ground. Zhang Hao then discovered people beneath the grating.

Found them!

A total of one hundred and thirty-two people were found, men, women, old, and young, including many white people. Wu Renbao was among them, under the second grating, with no issues to his vital signs, meaning he was still alive.

There were three armored vehicles in the courtyard, with soldiers moving around.

The military camp was about a hundred kilometers away. Mi Feng and Zhang Hao could reach it by nightfall.

Unexpectedly, two pickup trucks broke down one after another, at which point they were less than thirty kilometers from the military camp.

"Junk cars!"

They casually dismantled the machine guns, slinging two ammunition belts over their shoulders. Each person had a machine gun and plenty of ammunition. Although the weapons were trash, when used by robots, they could exert their maximum potential.

They put on the camouflage combat suits they had prepared, along with bulletproof vests.

Each person had a satchel stuffed with grenades and rocket launchers. Besides the machine guns, each person also had a submachine gun and one or two pistols. Everyone had a dagger, to avoid being obviously abnormal by smashing skulls with their bare hands.

They were laden with weapons. An ordinary person or even a special forces soldier might be able to carry them temporarily, but they wouldn't be able to travel far. However, the five robots didn't care at all. Once they started running, they were much faster than the pickup trucks.

As dusk fell, the five had arrived outside the military camp.

Zhang Hao said, "Zhang Yihu, follow me in to rescue the hostages. Great God, you take the other two to attract enemy fire and disrupt the camp. Oh, and most importantly, take out the camp's power generation equipment to plunge it into darkness. Heh heh."

The plan was actually very simple, relying entirely on strength. With a military camp of this scale, if it weren't for the five robots, even a hundred-person special forces team wouldn't be confident in rescuing the hostages.

Zhang Hao suddenly remembered something and asked, "Right, what about the money?"

Zhang Yihu reported, "Report, the money box was hit by a rocket... completely destroyed."

Zhang Hao said, "Alright, consider it burning ghost money in advance!" This was a Blue Star custom, burning paper for the dead. However, the price was quite high. They were indeed burning paper, but it was real usable spirit money. Five million was a lot of money.

Mi Feng said, "Consider it the price for purchasing souls. Excellent! I like this idea!" He didn't seem to care about the money at all.

As they spoke, the sky gradually darkened. Just then, a large mass of dark clouds drifted over, completely darkening the sky. The camp lights were dim.

Mi Feng said, "I'll go take out the power source."

Zhang Erhu quietly slipped away, followed by Zhang Shanhhu.

Zhang Hao said, "Zhang Yihu, follow..."

Zhang Yihu said, "I'll go ahead... to scout." As a bodyguard, he was naturally unable to leave danger to Zhang Hao. This wasn't about ability but about rules.

Zhang Hao didn't argue and followed Zhang Yihu forward.

There was no wall outside the barracks, but there were large sections of rolled barbed wire and numerous landmines. However, in Zhang Yihu's eyes, they were nowhere to hide. The buried landmines appeared as red dots on the detector, extremely conspicuous.

Carrying a machine gun in one hand and a dagger in the other, despite being a heavy robot, Zhang Yihu activated his hover system, making his movements as stealthy as a cat's, emitting almost no sound. Zhang Yihu stopped ten meters from the barbed wire.

Zhang Hao was not far behind. He looked up and discovered an explosive tripwire on the ground. The trigger condition was an infrared beam. As soon as something passed through it, an explosion would occur. No wonder Zhang Yihu stopped.

The infrared beam was one meter high, and the ground was densely packed with landmines. Zhang Yihu slowly inserted his dagger into the sheath on his leg, then tucked the gun under his arm and slowly squatted down. He placed one hand on the ground and crawled forward rapidly.

Zhang Hao imitated him. This was indeed a good method. The two quickly reached the barbed wire.

Zhang Yihu reached out and grasped the wire. With his other hand, he drew his dagger and began to cut. He silently cut through a section of barbed wire and silently moved it aside. He looked back at Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao nodded slightly and immediately passed through the barbed wire. If it weren't for the safety of the hostages, he would never have been so cautious and would have simply charged in. Now, he was forced to find them first before daring to act rashly.

Suddenly, the searchlights went out, the roadside lights and room lights went out, all the lights were extinguished. A gunshot rang out. Zhang Hao couldn't help but curse. He knew clearly that this wasn't Mi Feng and the others firing, but a soldier's gun accidentally discharging.

"Charge!"

Zhang Hao and the other two, holding their machine guns, madly charged towards the courtyard where the hostages were held.
