442 The deputy regimental commander helps clear things up (1/2)

Ren Xiaosu and the Razor Sharp Company were having a discussion on the train, and Zhang Xiaoman wondered out loud, ”How did the armored brigade find us?”

”I don't know. Could the things we took from that factory we destroyed have GPS trackers on them or something?” Jiao Xiaochen asked.

”It can't be. We only took away some cooking oil from there and nothing else. There wasn't really anything valuable anyway.” Zhang Xiaoman asked everyone, ”Did y'all take anything with you?”

”No.” The soldiers all shook their heads. ”We're in the middle of a war, so why would we do something so stupid that we affected our comrades? We definitely did not steal anything.”

”Then could we have a spy among us?” Zhang Xiaoman scolded, ”Who's the traitor? I'll give you a chance if you own up right now!”

”I think you look more like the spy!”

”That's right, I also think that the captain looks like a traitor.”

A proper discussion had suddenly devolved into a nonsensical bantering. Ren Xiaosu said calmly, ”There's definitely no spy in our company. It should be a supernatural being with related powers that found us, I think? Since the Zong Consortium thinks so highly of us, and even sent an armored brigade after us, there's no reason they would only send one supernatural being to do the job. There must be another one out there.”

If there were a spy, it would not have been so easy for them to take out the enemies at the Beiwan River and Mt. Qiangwan. The infantry regiment of Stronghold 144 would also not have found them so difficult to handle either.

Moreover, the fatality rate of the Razor Sharp Company had always been extremely high. Sending a spy in would be too risky since the spy would most likely get killed once they reached the front line. No matter how stupid the intelligence agency's director at the Zong Consortium was, they would not place a spy in the Razor Sharp Company. There was little value in that and the chances of dying were extremely high.

It was only when Ren Xiaosu joined the Razor Sharp Company that it suddenly became a very important fighting force.

Therefore, Ren Xiaosu's guess was that this was the doing of a supernatural being.

After all, it was very difficult for normal people to understand the miracles of supernatural beings.

”If this armored brigade still manages to find us despite our attempts to get away, then what?” Jiao Xiaochen asked. ”I'll be very disgusted if we can't shake them off our tail.”

Just the thought of being pursued by more than 4,000 troops and not knowing when they would catch up really made them nervous.

”That supernatural being must have some way of finding us.” Ren Xiaosu frowned as he thought about it. Not even a supernatural being could be omniscient and be able to find anyone they wanted. There had to be conditions for a power like this.

The shadow clone had a maximum control range of only one kilometer, and the Shadow Door's maximum effective distance was also at one kilometer. Therefore, he did not believe that the enemy's supernatural being's power was not limited by distance as well.

Actually, the person whose expertise was searching for other supernatural beings had made great contributions to the Zong Consortium.

Take, for example, the only three supernatural beings around someone like Qing Zhen. Including the one who had shielded him from the sniper attack and died, there were four of them.

This was not to say there was a lack of supernatural beings in the Qing Consortium's territories. People like Wang Congyang and Xu Xianchu also lived under the Qing Consortium rule, but they stayed hidden by keeping a low profile as they were not willing to use their powers to work for others.

Therefore, there were still quite a lot of supernatural beings around. Ren Xiaosu felt that the number of supernatural beings within an organization's territories should be in the double digits at least, but not all of them had been identified yet.

However, it was different at the Zong Consortium's territories. For example, that kinda idiotic supernatural being Ren Xiaosu and the Razor Sharp Company had encountered earlier, as well as Han Yang who had been hunted down by Yang Xiaojin, they were all found by this person who could sense the existence of other supernatural beings. After locating them, they were forcefully recruited into the Zong Consortium's military.

Of course, the Zong Consortium was not harsh on them. They were all treated very well so they could be brainwashed into serving the organization.

Meanwhile, this supernatural being who could locate other supernatural beings played too important a role. Just for this mission alone, he had an entire company of recon troops assigned to protect him. This recon company was only responsible for protecting him and did not have to do anything else.

Ren Xiaosu thought for a while before turning the steam locomotive away from the Zong Consortium's territory at full speed. He wanted to see if he could shake off this armored brigade by getting as far away from them as possible.
