Chapter 675 - Ambush (1/2)

While a large number of people with different intentions were heading north, a convoy was fleeing hastily south at the border of the Northern Plains and the Central Plains.

Within the convoy, a fully enclosed container truck that was being protected was traveling with them. The entire trailer compartment was just like a special cage that had no windows.

Hundreds of nomads on horseback were pursuing the convoy. They would even shoot at them with arrows every now and then. Those arrows were steady, accurate, and deadly. The last vehicle at the rear of the convoy had its spare tire that was mounted on the back pierced by the arrows like an archery target.

The Pyro Company’s plan to capture the supernatural being was not proceeding too smoothly as the other party’s superpower troubled them a lot. Before they came to the grasslands, they had expected their target to be very strong. But in the actual battle, they realized they had still underestimated their opponent.

Fortunately, the Pyro Company had sent a lot of people this time, and even a T5-ranked combatant was dispatched. Only then did they finally manage to capture their target.

This was probably one of the most important operations the Pyro Company had carried out in recent years. They could only succeed; failure would not be tolerated.

When the convoy drove out of the grasslands, the off-road vehicles’ speed after they got back onto the dirt track became faster, and they got farther away from the horses behind them. Someone cursed out loud in the vehicle, “What the hell did they feed the horses in the grasslands? How can they run for three days straight without getting tired? And they’re so fast!”

“Get used to it.” A person sitting in the back closed his eyes to get some rest. “In the future, the creatures in the wilderness might become even more ferocious. I heard that even the plants in that mountain under lockdown have already mutated on a large scale.”

It was no secret the Pyro Company had a mysterious mountain range under their control.

Back when Qing Zhen went into the Jing Mountains, he mentioned the Jing Mountains might be a hallowed ground similar to that of the Pyro Company’s mountain range.

The Saboteurs had once hoped to explore that mountain range, but they were still too weak at that time to do so.

The Pyro Company’s strongholds were situated north of the Kong Consortium, with half of them east while the other half were west. The layout of the strongholds’ locations seemed to form a circle that protected that mountain range at the center.

Upon leaving the grasslands, the nomads stopped chasing. They just stood at the edge of the grasslands on their horses and stared into the distance as they watched the Pyro Company convoy leave.

A member of the Pyro Company heaved a sigh of relief. “They’ve finally stopped pursuing us.”

“Don’t let your guard down.” The T5-ranked combatant said behind them, “We’ve received news from the headquarters that the Anjing House has issued a mission to intercept us. There will be even more people coming after us later, so it won’t be easy for us to get back to the company safely.”

“Since this superhuman is so important, why don’t you request for headquarters to send us some support?” someone asked.

But when this topic was brought up, the T5-ranked combatant kept quiet.

All the Pyro Company members who were feeling relieved just a moment ago became worried again. Did this mean there would not be any reinforcements?

Right at this moment, a distant mountain in front of them suddenly started moving. The mountain transformed into a gigantic dragon that blotted out the sky and let out a ferocious roar.

This was a sight that could be called a wonder of the world. If this was a supernatural being’s doing, it would be enough to let the wielder be ranked among the top five supernatural beings just based on this ability to move mountains!

Some of the Pyro Company members in the convoy were immediately flustered. Seeing the five-clawed golden dragon was about to crash down onto the convoy from the sky, the driver quickly turned the steering wheel in shock.

However, the T5-ranked combatant suddenly grabbed the steering wheel from behind. “Don’t panic!”

The T5-ranked combatant picked up the built-in walkie-talkie and said, “Keep driving forward! Keep driving forward! Don’t make sharp turns!”

They were currently traveling at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour. If they were to turn their steering wheels in panic, all of the vehicles in the convoy would overturn for sure!

T5102 continued saying coldly, “This is an illusion. I repeat, this is an illusion. If it were real, the opponent would not have to resort to making such a big scene to try to scare us. Also, if it weren’t an illusion, we couldn’t get away from a superhuman like that either!”
