Chapter 742 Double

Since they were setting out to look for Li Shentan’s friend, the atmosphere should naturally be a little more cheerful.

As such, Vanilla and the others followed Li Shentan expressionlessly as they listened to the Pyro Company members singing a nostalgic song in front of them. “Looking, looking, and looking for a friend, and then I found a very good friend…”

If the Pyro Company heard this singing, they would probably cry. Vanilla and the others fell silent as they listened to Pyro Company members perform this nursery rhyme.

Meanwhile, everyone at Ren Xiaosu’s side was looking at White Mask. They wanted to hear from White Mask what his decision was.

However, White Mask just remained silent. The more it was like this, the tenser the atmosphere in the campsite became.

Could it be that White Mask was unsure of what to do as well?

Or perhaps he was starting to think about retreating?

Everyone was coming up with all sorts of possibilities.

But actually, the reason why White Mask did not say anything was simply that he could not speak.

Although, Cheng Yu had started suspecting over the past two days that White Mask was mute. It was just that he was too afraid to ask him directly.

During the silence, Ren Xiaosu was sizing up the newcomers. Most of the people who could escape from the Pyro Company’s encirclement were probably very skilled. Even if they were not supernatural beings, they would still be extremely capable in combat.

Initially, Ren Xiaosu was thinking of taking advantage of the situation by tagging onto a larger group. But there were too many people in their team now, and even more people from other teams would be merging with them.

If that happened, they would become too big a target and could end up facing a full purge from the Pyro Company. They were about to reach the core region of the Sacred Mountains, and the cell phone signal here was completely blocked. All of this was telling them they would soon face an even more brutal encirclement by the Pyro Company. Under such circumstances, Ren Xiaosu would prefer to act alone instead. A second later, Yang Xiaojin suddenly pulled him backwards and rolled away. With a crack, a sniper bullet landed at the position where they were just sitting.

But while Ren Xiaosu was fine, the others were not so lucky. A young man who had just joined the group was shot by another bullet before he could even get up and dodge.

Ren Xiaosu’s reaction was not slow either. He followed Yang Xiaojin and ran into the forest. The Pyro Company’s counterattack had come faster than they had expected!

However, he could not understand why they were in such a hurry that they needed to make a move during the day.

Of course, if he knew that Li Shentan was leading a team to meet up with him, he would understand the Pyro Company was worried it would get too difficult to deal with them after they joined up!

Luo Lan scrambled after Ren Xiaosu. “Wait for me!” He caught up with Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin and followed them to find cover.

However, Luo Lan suddenly realized the two people in front of him did not seem like they were looking for cover. Instead, they seemed to be looking for the best position to launch a counterattack.

White Mask also started moving. It did not run with Ren Xiaosu but ran in the opposite direction. As a result, the others also ran in the opposite direction of Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin.

The sniper rifle kept ringing out, but it was obvious the sniper was not paying attention to the smaller group of people. Instead, it was “Old Xu” who attracted all of the firepower.

But Cheng Yu and the others were not pushovers either. In just an instant, Cheng Yu activated his illusion techniques.

In the wilderness, countless figures scattered off in all directions. As a result, the hidden snipers could not tell who was real and who was fake.
