In the base camp, there were plenty of stronger, better warriors.
The seven of them were chosen not for their perseverance, physical condition, or combat powers.
Instead…
“Get ready to transform!”
At Su Mo’s command, everyone raised their arms and exposed a mark on their wrists.
This was a unique logo, printed with a mini version of the Oreo statue. It looked funny and cute.
Activated by the idea, the mark glowed with a black light, bathing everyone in it.
Whoo…
Whoo…
In the darkness of the night, a storm started.
A small cyclone started to form around the snowy ground where the nine of them were standing, blowing bits of snow away.
A miracle happened.
The eight of them who appeared to be normal human beings started to melt, undergoing a huge transformation.
Su Mo’s skin tightened rapidly, slowly becoming the color of dried tree bark and filled with textures.
From his “petite” 1.8-meter stature, he grew till he was about 3.7 meters.
His arms turned into branches, while his legs became a root rooted in the ground.
Feng Long followed next. His skinny body expanded outward, layers and layers of muscle bulging where his original muscles were. Finally, they became a piece of armor that protected him, full of incredible power.
His very normal legs changed in color as well, thanks to the surge of power. It finally stopped at a light silver color with the sheen of metal, spitting out white gas at the back.
Fragile skin disappeared, only to be replaced by metal. All the weaknesses of a human being were gone, his body turning into a killing weapon.
It looked human-shaped, yet not.
Having possessed anchor points, the warriors loaded the precious, high-level template Su Mo had stolen from Freedom City earlier on.
Besides Feng Long who had loaded the Level 5 War Cyborg, the seven others were using the Level 4 High Strength Battle template, which was impressive!
This was where Su Mo’s confidence stemmed from, as well as the ultimate strength of the guards!
“Feng Long, lead the team and go straight down. I’ll go underground and sneak up behind them, covering for you!”
For various reasons, without the protection of the system, the templates that everyone loaded were human-based templates, so there were no peculiar strengths.
Only Su Mo could break through the limits, using the special powers of the thorny ent.
Tunneling underground required a great deal of time to prepare as well, which was quite a significant handicap.
However, as there was a layer of snow more than 10 meters deep, it was much easier to tunnel in.
With some focus, Su Mo left about 20 centimeters of the branch outside to keep an eye on the situation, moving forward.
As they watched Su Mo’s “petite” silhouette disappearing, the rest of the transformed warriors glanced at each other, joining the attack with eagerness in their eyes.
On Earth, the speed of human beings running in a suitable environment did not go over 100 meters in nine seconds.
However, due to the complicated terrain in Doomsday and the transformation, there was a new strength in the legs.
The snowy ground was wet and slippery. Feng Long, as a war cyborg, was just a shadow, running at about 100 meters in eight seconds.
The other warriors were no slouch either, the slowest being at about nine and a half seconds.
Thanks to the sudden burst of speed, the enemy did not manage to respond in time.
Within half a minute, Feng Long and his team were within 100 meters.
As for Su Mo who was ahead of them, not afraid of firepower at all, he was even quicker. He had almost reached the border of their defense.
“The dark provides some cover as well. I would be a target during the daytime as soon as someone sees a moving wooden stake in the snow.”
“This is great, I did it!”
Having successfully breached the enemy lines, Su Mo was ecstatic. At the same time, a thought occurred to him.
These people were different from all the other humans he had encountered before. These people were well prepared, and their strategy was sound. Even their marching was composed.
If it were not for the terrain and Oreo’s warning, the guards would have been injured heavily before they could even start fighting, leaving Su Mo to escape by himself.
Even after the battle started and with such an advantage, they still failed to be a threat to the enemy. Obviously, these people were extremely intelligent.
“If these people are the survivors of the Murderer Territory, it would be best to get rid of them and seize their equipment to supplement me. I’d be meting out justice at the same time.
“However, if they are from another territory, let’s see if we could ‘force’ them into a peaceful talk. If they could be our subordinates, I would obtain hundreds of trained warriors just like that!”
Su Mo had not been discovered by anyone yet, as far as he had come.
The scales of the battle had tipped in his favor.
Once the identities were confirmed, there was nothing much left to do. As long as Su Mo created some chaos, the battle would come to an end.
However, with this thought, after checking out the other party’s identity, Su Mo’s expression turned stranger and stranger.
Technically, Su Mo was familiar with these people.
On the surface, their faces were covered with a black cloth. They wore simple military uniforms made of rattan. Only a pair of bright eyes were left exposed.
However, based on their bodies and movements, within a team of more than a hundred, more than 80% were women!
“What… You’ve come before I can pay you a visit?”
…
