Chapter 463 - Comrades (1/2)

At this moment, the wound on his outer left thigh that was grazed by the sniper’s bullet was still bleeding profusely. He had to limp along.

It was not that he could not endure the pain, but that his left leg was a little weak now since the muscle fibers were torn. No matter how strong his willpower was, he could not mend the muscle fibers in an instant.

So it was still those same words. The most dangerous moment when walking a tightrope was always the last three steps. Only those who could finish those three steps would be qualified to walk on a tightrope.

Ren Xiaosu had already exhausted quite a bit of his energy in this battle. Whether it be ambushing the guerrilla companies or outwitting the snipers, he had not encountered so many twists and turns before.

In reality, his enemy was not an elite sniper. In Yang Xiaojin’s words, there were no elite snipers in the entire Northwest, and none of them were a match for her.

Besides, Ren Xiaosu was also not a schemer. He had only ever learned how to fight and hunt. In the past, his targets had always been mindless animals. But this time, he was hunting down someone who had a mind of their own.

If a true hunter were here, they would probably have scoffed at Ren Xiaosu’s efforts. For example, should he have risked his life after the enemy’s third shot, should he have pursued the enemy this far, or did he actually have a chance to kill that sniper but didn’t realize it?

If Yang Xiaojin were present, she would probably think those snipers were extremely stupid and bad shots.

But no matter what, Ren Xiaosu was still making progress and learning from his experiences.

The deaths of his enemies were more important than anything else.

Ren Xiaosu hid in the bushes behind the mountain ridge for a long time. He wanted to see if there would be a third sniper out there and how the Zong Consortium’s guerrillas would react.

After all, two snipers and two companies of guerrillas had perished here, so they couldn’t possibly allow Ren Xiaosu and the others to get arrogant.

But it was also possible that the guerrillas would simply give up on defending the Beiwan River when they saw their enemies were not to be trifled with. That was also a possibility, but it still depended mainly on how their opponent chose to react.

After waiting for a long time, Ren Xiaosu did not see any more guerrillas getting sent here. It was as though they had given up on defending this mountain range.

After some thought, Ren Xiaosu decided to head back and join up with the Razor Sharp Company first. He wondered what it was like at the rear now after he had been out here hunting the enemy for almost two days.

All of a sudden, he saw a large number of troops heading straight for him from the north. Ren Xiaosu was shocked to discover they had not fucking given up on the mountain range yet. Instead, they had been taking some time to gather the troops to send a regiment directly into the mountain range. They were planning to wipe out their enemies in these mountains! They intended to surround him!

He had overplayed his hand! They were actually sending a full regiment to go after one company? This was going overboard.

Ren Xiaosu’s head was starting to hurt. The Razor Sharp Company was still thinking about passing straight through here to get to the Beiwan River to blow up the bridge? How were they supposed to pass through now?

He turned around and stooped low to make his escape. He had to get out of their perimeter first.

While running away, Ren Xiaosu wondered if he could plant some Brambles to kill some of the Zong Consortium’s soldiers. As there were too many of them, it would be unrealistic to wipe out the entire regiment. But it would be good enough if he could kill a portion of them.

However, Ren Xiaosu realized the sniper might have already reported to his rear forces about the possibility of some terrifying plants being hidden within the shrubs when he sought reinforcements.

As a result, the soldiers of the Zong Consortium’s main troops did not even walk through the areas where shrubs were growing. They traversed the shady side of the slope where there was no vegetation while remaining extremely cautious.
