Resurrection Empire

Chapter 1446: Chapter 545: The Source of the Red Blade Clan’s Power (Part 2)

An even more intense shockwave blasted open all the gel, then swept towards Captain Wang and Xiao Chen’s Flying Device.

Although the double-layered gel provided some delay, Captain Wang and Xiao Chen still didn’t have enough time to switch the Flying Device into heavy armor mode.

Despite the average performance of the pirate’s reserve ammunition, the abundance in this weapon warehouse couldn’t be underestimated.

The chain explosions stacked the destructive power layer by layer, then engulfed Captain Wang and Xiao Chen’s Flying Device within.

These later images all came from the footage of Rescue Worker Xiao Hu, who had previously avoided to the side.

Watching such a tragic scene, everyone in the advanced war prison hall held their breath in silence.

After waiting for almost five minutes, the explosion’s aftermath finally dissipated, and Xiao Hu began cautiously approaching the weapons storage bay again.

Led by Kui Sheng, the advanced prisoners of war almost all held their breath at the same time, nervously fixated on Xiao Hu’s channel.

After a long while, a green marker representing life appeared once again in the projection before Xiao Hu.

Everyone cheered wildly.

But soon someone discovered that the position of the green marker was that of the previously stranded pirate, and Captain Wang and Xiao Chen had already vanished.

A miracle had occurred, but only halfway.

Captain Wang and Xiao Chen completed their mission, but they did not survive themselves.

This was in fact not the first casualty during a rescue mission; similar incidents had occurred before, but this time, the sacrifice not only included a captain-level warrior but happened during a live broadcast that everyone was watching.

Everyone watched Xiao Hu first take the trapped pirate back to the Flying Device, then provide emergency treatment to the injured while doggedly dismantling the wreckage of Captain Wang and Xiao Chen’s Flying Device, hoping to verify their fate with his own eyes.

But ultimately, Xiao Hu and the audience were disappointed.

Xiao Hu couldn’t find any remains, not even a trace of organic matter, only vaguely identifying some completely carbonized traces.

Afterwards, Xiao Hu left this sorrowful place in pain, bringing the stabilized rescued individual to a nearby medium-sized rescue Command Ship, then swiftly completed his equipment readjustment and hurried to the next rescue point.

Xiao Hu’s direct superior, the squadron leader, asked if he needed to take a break and receive psychological counseling.

Xiao Hu declined the squadron leader’s kindness, only stating that he was currently fine, and with this experience, he had gained better emergency response skills.

Xiao Hu applied to his superior to succeed Captain Wang as the squad leader, to better avoid casualties in upcoming missions.

The squadron leader agreed to Xiao Hu’s application.

Only at this point did the many viewers of the rescue live broadcast begin to switch to other channels.

The reactions of everyone in the advanced war prison hall seemed somewhat more sluggish, still locked on Xiao Hu’s channel until now.

In less than half an hour, the emotions of those led by pirate leader Kui Sheng had gone through several upheavals, with indescribable feelings.

By now, even though others hadn’t seen Ren Zhong in person, there was a faint sense of belonging in their hearts.

Witnessing the Red Peak Army pay the price of losing two elite warriors just to save a low-ranking pirate.

Some felt it was not worth it for Earl Red Blade, and some even pondered in their hearts to find a way to advise Earl Red Blade against it.

What if more unexpected events occur, causing too many casualties among the Red Blade Expeditionary Army warriors, leading to instability within the Red Peak Army and shaking his foundation?

Don’t assume this couldn’t happen.

At this moment, a scrolling news ticker appeared above the holographic projection, reminding viewers to switch to Channel 1.

Channel 1 is the official channel of the Red Blade Expeditionary Army, with usage rights reserved solely for Ren Zhong himself and high-ranking management personnel like Marshal Ying Zhenshan.

With curiosity, Kui Sheng and others switched to Channel 1, just in time to see Ren Zhong standing inside an engineering war fortress alongside Ying Zhenshan, Yuan Qinh, Guo Denghuai, and Song Qingqiao, the marshals and deputy marshals of the Second Expeditionary Army.

Behind them, the last batch of multifunctional rescue Flying Devices was just going offline.

A long line of rescue workers, freshly trained and having passed their Skill proficiency assessments, stood by.

With each Flying Device going offline, a rescue worker climbed on top, quickly transported by electromagnetic rails to the exit hatch and then galloped directly to the frontline.

Ren Zhong first spent half an hour speaking, commending the outstanding individuals and collectives who excelled in the rescue mission.
