"If my guess is correct, then we won't need to fight at all!"
Captain Tang raised his hand, signaling his team to remain vigilant but not to make any hostile moves.
Seeing that the natives had lowered their alert level, Xu Ruina couldn't help but turn to look at Xiao Guanghan.
Although Xiao Guanghan's combat strength wasn't much, he was knowledgeable and insightful. Zhang Chen also liked to discuss matters with him before.
"They probably want to negotiate, but we still need to be prepared for both outcomes. If negotiations fail, we'll have to fight in the end!"
Xiao Guanghan whispered to Xu Ruina.
"Alright, I'll listen to what they have to say!"
"If they want to capture Zhang Mo, I'll kill their captain on the spot, and then you all launch a full-scale attack immediately!"
"These guys' AI battle suits are tough to deal with. We have to go all out from the first strike!"
Xu Ruina commanded calmly.
"Okay, be careful with everything!"
Xiao Guanghan nodded and gave Han Shuang a look.
All the elites of the True God Sect immediately became fully focused, ready to fight to the death.
Xu Ruina walked forward a few steps and met Tang Xiaouen in the middle of the confrontation zone.
"What exactly is your scheme?"
Xu Ruina asked coldly.
"We have no scheme. We just want to have friendly negotiations with you!"
"The woman you rescued, Xu Linna, is a very dangerous individual. She is extremely cunning and highly deceptive! No matter what she says, you must not believe her!"
"We are here this time to extradite Xu Linna back to prison. As long as you hand the person over to us, bloodshed can be avoided today!"
Tang Xiaouen looked at Xu Ruina's side, then back at his fully equipped AI battle suit team, and said slowly:
"The strength of our two sides may seem equal to you, but in reality, we have a lot of technology we haven't used yet!"
"To capture Xu Linna, we spared no effort in deploying our most scarce weapons and equipment, as well as super battle suits!"
"I believe you must have heard of the invincible Pioneers. If you were facing over a dozen Pioneer mechs, are you sure you would have a chance of winning?"
Seeing that Xu Ruina remained silent, Tang Xiaouen continued to persuade:
"We are here for peace, not for war. We firmly believe that only by working together, Reincarnators and natives alike, can we truly confront the apocalypse!"
"We have always treated Reincarnators as our invited guests, which is why we used our most advanced technology to temporarily divide the world and suppress the monsters' strength in stages to ensure that Reincarnators can grow better in this world."
"Ultimately becoming our partners and jointly resisting the apocalypse!"
"As for the offense against your leader's child earlier... I admit that it was a mistake in our intelligence and a rash action. I apologize for it."
"I hope you can believe my sincerity and hand over the extremely dangerous task, Xu Linna, to us!"
"So..." Xu Ruina tried to rephrase Tang Xiaouen's intention.
"Your purpose for coming this time is not for the child, but to pick up Xu Linna?"
"To be precise, it's to arrest and escort Xu Linna!" Tang Xiaouen corrected.
This statement was a great surprise to Xu Ruina!
She stared into Tang Xiaouen's eyes for a moment, certain he wasn't lying, before turning to look at Xiao Guanghan.
Xiao Guanghan's heart was pounding in his throat. His eyes were fixed on Xu Ruina, terrified that she might act too quickly and he wouldn't be able to issue the attack command immediately.
After several minutes, his eyes were sore from staring.
To his surprise, Xu Ruina turned and looked at him.
What did that mean? That gesture wasn't in their prior agreement!
Xu Ruina had intended to tell Xiao Guanghan to lower his guard, but the moment she turned, she feared a trap from the natives, so she decided to lower her guard only after they had completely retreated.
Therefore, as she turned, she abandoned that idea, leading to the scene just moments ago.
"I believe you have the sincerity for peace; otherwise, you should have disabled the ring's ability first before confronting me!"
"But I'm afraid Xu Linna is no longer here, so I can't give you what you want!"
Xu Ruina said calmly.
"What? Xu Linna is no longer here?"
"Then... where did she go?"
Tang Xiaouen asked nervously.
It was evident he was extremely wary of Xu Linna. Capturing her the last time must have been quite difficult.
"In any case... she is not here!"
Xu Ruina stated slowly, crossing her arms.
"I've already made it very clear. Xu Linna is an extremely dangerous individual. If you don't tell me her whereabouts, the consequences will be very severe!"
"Her biochemical experiments have repeatedly failed, causing her to gradually lose her sanity. She even wants to make Reincarnators kill each other to obtain the strongest among them, and then extend her life by possessing the body of the strongest!"
"From this perspective, she is both your enemy and ours!"
"No matter how generous the rewards Xu Linna promises you, or any flowery promises she makes, it's all a deception!"
"If your friend is with her, then his life is in constant danger!"
Tang Xiaouen shouted in desperation, his voice so loud that even Xiao Guanghan and the others could hear him.
"His words... shouldn't be wrong, right..."
Thinking of Zhang Chen being in mortal danger, Xu Ruina's originally calm thoughts became somewhat chaotic.
Tang Xiaouen's words were indeed convincing. If these people were to activate all their Pioneers, coupled with the ring's weakening effect,
With just Xu Ruina and the zombie army, they wouldn't have an absolute advantage.
Under such circumstances, their willingness to negotiate indicated a degree of sincerity.
After some hesitation, Xu Ruina said:
"I can tell you, but you must take us with you!"
"Take you along?" Tang Xiaouen hesitated.
However, remembering Xu Linna's cunning and terrifying strength, he couldn't help but nod.
An extra point of strength, if they reached a point of no return with Xu Linna, would mean a greater chance of victory!
"I agree!"
"Alright, they went north!"
Xu Ruina stated.
"North? The World Control Center?"
"Xu Linna, that lunatic, what is she trying to do?!"
Upon hearing those words, Tang Xiaouen's face changed drastically.
Then, a massive portal, twenty meters long and ten meters wide, appeared neatly before everyone.
Tang Xiaouen led his team into it with impatience.
Seeing this, Xu Ruina instructed Xiao Guanghan to guard Katerina and Zhang Mo with the True God Sect followers, and she personally led the infected army and charged ferociously into the portal.
