Edge of the Apocalypse
Chapter 784: Madman

'"Don" Rice smiled and circled around the big man. "Don, don, don" t you mean to teach me a lesson? "

A few earthworm-like veins rose from Donne's iron-free bald head, and he grinned sinisterly, "If necessary."

"Oh, it seems like you're quite confident. You shouldn't forget that I took down the original items on your body. If I were allowed to take them down again, I doubt that the old things from the Academy would be able to help you assemble them." Rice stretched out his right hand and moved a few short blades on the iron glove. "This time, I'll just take off your thing. When those old fellows put a big iron rod on you, I think Maria will like it very much, right?"

The bald woman had already put on her leather clothes and looked at Rice with hatred. She only snorted from her nostrils.

Dawn spat out two strands of hot smoke from his nostrils. His aura surged, his muscles crackled, and his body swelled. The lines on the metal parts of his body lit up, and the burly man squeezed out a loud shout from his chest, "I'm going to kill you!"

Raising his fist, he punched out, causing the surroundings to distort slightly. Along with a burst of noise, the iron fist smashed into Rice's chest. But there was a feeling that he couldn't hit the real thing. Rice slid out like a loach and floated a few meters away. Following the five short blades on the metal glove, Down's punching arm immediately sprayed out a few streaks of blood, tearing several wounds into Rice's body in some way. The wound was so deep that one could almost see the bones. But at the same time, it was also very thin. Although he was bleeding endlessly, Dawn didn't take it to heart in the slightest.

He had to raise his fist and attack again.

A palm quietly pressed against his chest, and another person appeared between Tie Han and Rice. He wore a dark military uniform, only his shoulder badge was removed, and there were no legion markings. The young man with soft linen hair had a pair of electronic glasses hanging on his nose. He stretched out his hand to support the frame. There was a burst of data pulsing in the lens. The man said indifferently, "The latest news is that the target is in Gao Shan City." It's 571 kilometers from here. If we set off now, we are expected to arrive tomorrow morning. "Then, officers, do you intend to continue entangling yourself in a dispensable personal grudge, or do you intend to complete the mission as soon as possible?"

Donne's chest was still heaving, but the light from the electronic devices on his body gradually dimmed. Even the bulging blood vessels were submerged under his skin again, but he still glared at Rice angrily. Rice crossed his chest and shook his head, "Hey, Dill, you're still my adjutant. Why don't you have a sense of humor? You're 800 years old, and sometimes you look more like a remoulder than Donne. Hey, you're not actually a metal skeleton under that skin, are you?"

"If you need confirmation, you can dissect me at any time." Adjutant Dill said seriously, not as if he was joking at all.

"Boring fellow, only you are the last person I want to kill, because that's no different from dismantling a machine. There's no fun to speak of." Rice stretched and said, "Alright, give priority to the task. Donne, no matter what, you have to listen to me this time. Otherwise, tell Shrek yourself."

Dawn snorted and took two steps back. With his personality, since he didn't object, it was a tacit acknowledgement. "What's the latest intel?" Rice looked at the adjutant.

"I've just cut into the federal military system and confirmed the mission of the target. The tricky part is that they are working with the federal army to rescue the human engineers controlled by the Hulma."

"Federal army?" Rice frowned, "That's troublesome. I don't want to deal with those guys." Then we'll have to wait for our Mr. Allen to complete his mission before we make our move. Alright, let him live for a few more hours. We have to set off now and make a good arrangement outside Gao Shan City. "I'm really looking forward to it. I wonder what kind of happy expression it will be when I dig out his heart."

He laughed maniacally, "I can't help it. I really want to dig out his heart right now, hahaha."

Laughing, Les walked away. Adjutant Dill and Rice's subordinates followed behind. Donne made a gesture and walked away with his men. The bald woman, who was walking beside the big man, looked at Les with resentment from time to time, but she didn't dare to reveal her feelings too clearly. Among them, Rice was a terrifying person. This man clearly had the strength to become a major general, but he had always been unwilling to accept promotion and was keen on slaughter. Many people behind him called him crazy.

Before this, Rice had already been charged with many crimes and was on the verge of executing him. But the lord saved him and recruited him. He was willing to join that lord's subordinates, not because he was grateful, but because this lord could provide him with the opportunity to kill, and there was no need to worry about receiving a complaint.

A bloodthirsty and crazy man, Maria didn't know how much nerve his adjutant Dill had to have in order to stay by this pervert's side and not go crazy.

Perhaps Dill was more perverted than his boss? Maria thought maliciously.

Night fell.

Gao Shan City was divided into two districts. The Hulma occupied a few blocks to the east, including the base outside the city. It was bounded by a long street, facing off against the Federation army from afar. On the other side of the street, which served as a buffer zone, a small four-story building became a temporary command post. When Alan was brought in by an officer, he saw people everywhere in the room.

The tactical staff officer was constantly sending out orders with his brain. The ground, which was full of cables, would stumble if he wasn't careful. Even so, the messengers were able to move freely on the cables like light dancers, and one had to admire their flexibility. Alan took him to the third floor and walked out of a corridor with guards. He pushed open a door and a few people were discussing something around a table.

"Lieutenant Colonel Shaw, Mr. Allen is here," said the officer who brought Allen in.

Raising his head from the crowd was Zhang Dongfang's face. Black-haired, black-eyed and dignified, he nodded and walked over to Ellen. He stretched out his hand and said, "You can call me Xiao. I am the leader and commander of this operation. Thank you for coming, Mr. Ellen. With your help, I think the mission will go smoothly."

"It's an honor to participate in this operation, Lieutenant Colonel Xiao. Then, what should we do?" Alan said straightforwardly.

Lieutenant Colonel Shaw was very satisfied with Allen's straightforward approach. He patted Allen's shoulder and said, "Come with me. I'll tell you the details of the operation." This operation is a bit tricky. According to our information, the Hulma people have lost their patience. We have given our final ultimatum to kill before sunrise tomorrow, and our negotiators are trying to buy time. "
