Air-conditioning, white fog, thick smoke, as well as raindrops and sandy snow formed by the encounter between hot and cold, covered the entire surrounding area of Baoding City. Whether outside Baoding City or inside Baoding City, the visibility has become extremely low. Nothing can be seen, only the electromagnetic firelight in the distance is still flickering.
In the inner buffer city, a gentle voice sounded in Zhenhuang's ears: "I'm here to pick you up."
Leng Jing picked up Zhenhuang and left Baoding City through the mist.
The buffer inner city became extremely chaotic, and the soldiers scrambled and scrambled, trying to reorganize their formation. Liu Chuan and others on the city wall had a bad premonition, but they did not dare to enter the buffer inner city because they did not know if there would be anything dangerous inside.
Now the only thing Liu Chuan, Wei Chi and others can do is to let the soldiers buffering the inner city close the middle gate first.
"Rumble, rumble..."
After the middle gate was successfully closed, Liu Chuan and others standing on the city wall were still worried. If Leng Jing had entered the buffering inner city at this time, with his ability, he would definitely be able to break through the inner city gate or forcibly break the barrier that buffered the inner city. .
This buffer inner city is just a buffer, and the durability of the barrier is not very high. If Leng Jing could summon the Ice Giant once, the barrier wouldn't be able to stop him for long.
After more than ten minutes of nervousness, the original smoke and snow settled down a little, and the visibility became a little better. At this time, the vine armor soldiers buffering the inner city had organized their formation. No one was injured, but the durability of the armor was reduced due to the electromagnetic wave.
Ao Lie shouted to the soldiers buffering the inner city: "Where is Zhenhuang?"
"We searched all over the buffer inner city but couldn't find Zhenhuang."
"No? Keep looking." Ao Lie ordered.
The soldiers continued to look for traces of Zhenhuang, but there were still no clues.
Liu Chuan showed an uneasy premonition: "The buffer inner city is not big. If Zhenhuang is not here, then she must be outside the city."
"Outside the city? Do you mean Zhenhuang escaped?" Ao Lie asked.
"It's possible." Liu Chuan frowned.
"Didn't Zhenhuang surrender to us? She went to great lengths to negotiate terms with them, and even used a railgun to crush the ice giant. Why did she run away after having accomplished such a great service?" Ao Lie was very puzzled.
Wei Chi thought for a moment and guessed: "Perhaps Zhenhuang didn't trust us from the beginning. When the opportunity was presented to her, she chose to escape from us. After all, she and Leng Jing were from the same camp. "
"Then things are strange. Where is Leng Jing? It suddenly became extremely quiet outside the city. There was no trace of Leng Jing. Even the military vehicles in the distance drove away."
"It seems that Zhenhuang ran away with Leng Jing." Wei Chi guessed.
"So Zhenhuang put on a show to escape? Does that mean she had no intention of surrendering to us at all?" Ao Lie shouted.
"In fact, this is not difficult to understand. When Zhenhuang was charging up the electromagnetic gun, your elite vine armor soldiers surrounded Zhenhuang. The purpose was to prevent Zhenhuang from escaping. Since you don't trust her, she naturally can't trust you either. .”
"My vine armor soldiers are just in case, but I really thought Zhenhuang surrendered to us."
"So, if Zhenhuang, who has done great service, really asks for military power from you, will you give it to you? Will the conditions you promised really be fulfilled? Will you really give it generously to her?" Wei Chi asked in return.
"I..." Ao Lie was speechless, because he had already planned that after Zhenhuang defeated the ice giant, he would create an excuse to imprison Zhenhuang again and not give her complete freedom.
At this time, Liu Chuan looked at Wei Chi and asked, "Have you guessed that Zhenhuang would escape?"
"I can't be sure, but it is indeed possible. I didn't expect the power of the electromagnetic gun to be so powerful. The ice and snow smoke rushed into the buffer inner city with the impact, and also shook off the elite vine armor, creating a trap for Zhenhuang to escape. Great opportunity.”
"This matter is indeed very strange, and Leng Jing seems to have left. What could be Leng Jing's purpose? Is it for Zhenhuang from the beginning?"
"As for this, I don't know. I only know that Leng Jing and Zhenhuang worked together for a period of time in the three armies of Beimingxi Province. As for their relationship, I don't know the inside story." Wei Chi replied.
At this time, Jiang Feng took the initiative to speak.
"Everyone, although there are some doubts about this matter, at least Baoding City is safe now. The top priority should be to send people to clean up the sand and snow and rebuild the outer city gate."
"That makes sense. Let the scouts go out now and place sentries in all directions to prevent Leng Jing from coming back again." Wei Chi agreed.
On the other side, a military vehicle was driving north along the national highway.
The driver was Bai Yehan, while Zhenhuang and Leng Jing were sitting in the back seat.
Along the way, Zhenhuang kept asking about Leng Jing. He had disappeared for nearly a month and had changed a lot since he came back. He even felt strange.
Leng Jing simply replied without going into details, and even deliberately avoided certain topics.
But the more Leng Jing behaves like this, the more curious Zhenhuang becomes. She has too many doubts that need to be answered.
Finally, Leng Jing said helplessly: "Don't worry, the days are long, I will explain to you slowly. Instead of talking about me, why not talk about you? You were not abused during your imprisonment, right?"
"No, the people from Jiang Zhi's forces gave me special care, so no one made it difficult for me."
"This time we really owe Jiang Feng a favor." Leng Jing said.
After hearing this, Bai Yehan suddenly said: "Brother Leng Jing, I think your favor has been repaid."
"Already paid back? What do you mean?" Leng Jing asked.
"Brother Leng Jing, your abilities have gone beyond what ordinary people can understand. In other words, as long as you want, you can still demolish the fortress and kill all the coalition forces. But why don't you do this?"
"The strategic location of Baoding City is very important. Jiang Feng keeps this city useful, so I can't attack." Leng Jing replied.
"That's right. Considering Jiang Feng, you gave the coalition forces a way to survive and also spared Baoding City. Isn't this a return of favor?"
"What you said makes sense, but it doesn't count as repaying a favor. Compared with helping Zhenhuang, there is a huge difference in favor between the two."
"Okay, although I'm a little angry at Da Jiang Feng for trying to trick me and take advantage of me, but overall, I don't hate him. If Leng Jing, your eldest brother, wants to be friends with him, I fully support it." Bai Yehan said with a smile.
"Wait a moment," Zhenhuang suddenly interrupted, "Leng Jing, what did Bai Yehan just say? He said you were powerful enough to destroy all coalition forces?"
"That should be the case." Leng Jing smiled lightly.
"Are you really that powerful?" Zhenhuang originally thought that Leng Jing could only pose a great threat to Baoding City, but it was not enough to defeat all the coalition forces by one person.
"I'm not sure, but in the previous battle, I wasn't serious at all, and I only used less than one-tenth of my powers."
"You summoned such a powerful ice giant and didn't even use one-tenth of its powers?" Zhenhuang said in disbelief.
"Yes, as for the Ice Titans, if I want, I can summon ten of them at the same time and demolish the castle in one go."
"Are you really that scary?" Zhenhuang's eyes widened.
"What's wrong?"
"Then let's go back now. You can help me kill Ao Lie and Wei Jing and take revenge for me."
"Zhenhuang, are you still so persistent?"
"I just want this one thing from you, isn't it okay?"
"If you insist on doing this, I can go back for you, but I'm not sure whether I can kill Ao Lie and Wei Jing."
"Why are you not sure?" Zhenhuang shouted.
