405 Staunch (1/2)

Zhang Xiaoman looked at Ren Xiaosu like he was a treasure.

He was a military man, so he only required a moment to understand what the ability to drop a grenade accurately from a kilometer away could do for their assaults and sieges.

They could take out machine gun positions easily, as well as freely engage in urban warfare without breaking a sweat. If they encountered any defensive bunkers when attacking high ground, they would not have to worry either. The enemy's fortifications on land were paper-thin in Ren Xiaosu's presence!

Zhang Xiaoman said excitedly to Ren Xiaosu, ”From now on, whoever tries to take any grenades from you is as good as trying to take my life!”

Ren Xiaosu was stunned. ”That's not nice, is it?”

As he spoke, he stuffed a second grenade behind another dark window. The Zong Consortium soldiers who were about to sweep their machine guns were blown out of the window by the grenade.

Curious, Zhang Xiaosu asked, ”Xiaosu, where do you even keep these grenades? I don't see any hand grenades on you. Is this one power or two powers?”

Serious, Ren Xiaosu answered, ”I only have one power, and it's to open up a dark passage to a dimension with a small storage area I can put stuff in.”

Honestly, Ren Xiaosu felt this explanation was very illogical. After all, the Shadow Door did not have the ability to open another dimension.

However, even the supernatural beings themselves did not fully understand superpowers. Even if he made up something to fool an ordinary person, the other party would still believe them no matter how unbelievable it was. After all, these were already superpowers they were talking about, so why would they be based on logic?

Zhang Xiaoman was startled by Ren Xiaosu's explanation. He called over his platoon commanders and said to them, ”Remove all the grenades on everyone and hand them over to Ren Xiaosu. We're going to start advancing in the direction of the artillery. Ren Xiaosu, I want you to blow up all of the arty!”

Ren Xiaosu had already saved more than a dozen boxes of grenades from the bandit lairs, with each box containing twenty grenades. Meanwhile, the soldiers of the Razor Sharp Company were given three grenades each as standard issue by the Supply Division of Fortress 178.

There were a total of 184 people in Razor Sharp Company. Excluding the platoon that stayed behind to man the mortars, there were a total of 154 people on the front line. The number of grenades they had numbered several hundred!

So when Ren Xiaosu grouped all of them together in his storage space, he felt so nervous his scalp went numb.

The Razor Sharp Company was sneaking through the rubble as they advanced. Whenever there was a spot where the enemy could be hiding, Zhang Xiaoman would remind Ren Xiaosu to bomb it from a distance.

On the flanks, Second Company and Third Company had similarly infiltrated into Shichuan Village. They could only watch helplessly as the Razor Sharp Company left them far behind in their wake.

Second Company and Third Company's mission was to provide cover for the Razor Sharp Company on both flanks. But from the looks of it, the Razor Sharp Company did not look like they needed any support! The exploding of grenades could be heard everywhere inside Shichuan Village. What was even more surprising was that the Razor Sharp Company did not even encounter a ”proper” enemy!

What the hell was going on?!

The buildings still standing in Shichuan Village stretched for up to six kilometers, and the Razor Sharp Company had only taken half an hour so far to advance 500 meters in!

They had planned to take this town within a fortnight, but it seemed that the Razor Sharp Company would only need two to three days to clear out the entire town now!

However, Zhang Xiaoman did not want to get greedy and risk advancing farther. Their enemies on the flanks were still there. If Second Company and Third Company could not keep up with their progress, they might very well find themselves surrounded by the enemies in Shichuan Village.

And there was also the problem of whether there was a sniper in this town. On top of that, no one knew whether there might be any traps hidden underground. Thus, it was better to wait for the other two companies to join up with them first before continuing the assault.
