Chapter 539 - Lame (1/2)
Ren Xiaosu was very decisive in breaking through the encirclement. Initially, the Pyro Company members planned to come over to attack him when they saw him killing their teammates. However, they realized Ren Xiaosu and his group were too determined to get away.
The Pyro Company member commanding the battle said calmly on their frequency, “Let them leave.”
For the Pyro Company, tonight’s operation was to establish their dominance. They didn’t need to fight to the death with one or two superhumans. Besides, it was obvious these opponents were not to be trifled with. Since they wanted to leave, they should just let them go.
But just as he finished speaking, someone suddenly said on the radio, “He’s back again….”
The commander frowned. “How many of them?”
“Only two. One of them is a hooded young man whose face we can’t see clearly, and the other is wearing a white mask,” someone reported on the radio.
The commander said, “Send out another Dusk squad to surround them—”
Before he could finish speaking, the person speaking on the radio reported, “They’ve left again….”
The commander of the Pyro Company was at a loss for words. What were their opponents doing? They were coming and going as they pleased?!
However, this also inadvertently showed they were powerless to stop the other party now. The commander said coldly on the radio, “Ignore them. Just do your best to cause casualties. What we need to achieve is making the tragic news spread so these people won’t dare to come and cause us any more trouble in the future.”
The objective of the Pyro Company was to eventually make the outside world know they would have to pay the price for coming here. As for what happened in between, it would not affect the big picture. Since there were only a couple enemies, and there wasn’t any real laboratory site in the tunnel, they were really not afraid of them causing any trouble.
Just a moment ago, Ren Xiaosu, Zheng Hongning, and the others stopped in their tracks after breaking through the encirclement.
Ren Xiaosu had wanted to lure some of the Pyro Company members to pursue them by manipulating his shadow clone to kill efficiently. This way, he would only need to face a small portion of the Pyro Company members himself. Not only could he earn the rewards this way, but he could also capture one or two of them for Zhou Yingxue to complete her mission.
But he suddenly realized the Pyro Company members had stopped pursuing them!
Ren Xiaosu got anxious. He told Zheng Hongning, “If there’s nothing else for you, get out of Stronghold 73, quick. The Zhou Consortium’s troops will probably arrive soon. You can see the situation here for yourself, and it’s not something that you can handle, so just go back to the black market! Come on, Old Xu, let’s go!”
After saying that, Ren Xiaosu returned to the battlefield with his shadow clone. This was the first incident of Ren Xiaosu’s return to the battlefield that was reported on the Pyro Company’s radio frequency.
But midway through, Ren Xiaosu felt that he had forgotten something. As such, he turned back and stopped Zheng Hongning and the others. “Y’all haven’t thanked me yet.”
Zheng Hongning and the others looked at Ren Xiaosu with stunned expressions like they were looking at a monster. He was coming and going on the battlefield as he liked at this fucking time just so he could get them to thank him?!
“Thank you…”
“Thank you…”
Ren Xiaosu looked at the typewriter in the palace typing out several lines of words on leather parchment for the gratitude tokens he had earned before returning to the battlefield with much satisfaction.
