Chapter 745 One punch

If he had not experienced it personally, Cheng Yu would have misunderstood the combat strength of a T5 combatant. This was because he had seen with his own eyes how “Old Xu” had crushed that T5 combatant back then. He did not know if everything had coincidentally gone right in that encounter for Old Xu as he only saw the outcome of the clash.

But once they actually encountered a T5 combatant, they realized the T5 combatants were beings that could crush them in a head-on battle. If Wang Yun had not risked his life and used his power to fight to the death with that T5 combatant, they would probably all be dead by now.

As a matter of fact, Cheng Yu was very impressed by Wang Yun’s fearlessness at that critical moment.

Wang Yun was someone with brains, courage, bravery, and means. Cheng Yu suddenly felt it was a pity for him to stay in the Kong Consortium.

In the early years, the three major consortiums of the Central Plains were still on par with one another. But in the past few years, the Kong Consortium had constantly been led by the nose by the Wang Consortium. Based on the actions of the consortiums over the years, there was always that feeling that Wang Shengzhi’s strategy was superior.

Cheng Yu asked, “Actually, Wang Yun, everyone can tell that those people from the Kong Consortium are quite petty. Have you ever thought of going somewhere else?” Wang Yun laid on the back of his subordinate, getting piggybacked. He said weakly, “Don’t you worry about me. Rather, think about yourselves. All of you have been treated as cannon fodder by the Anjing House this time.”

“How did I end up becoming cannon fodder all of a sudden?” Cheng Yu said anxiously, “We came to the Sacred Mountains with a plan. Why are you making it sound like we were being sent to our deaths?”

“Then let me ask you: Did anyone tell you how to retreat?” Wang Yun sneered.

Cheng Yu was stunned. “Once everyone makes it into the Sacred Mountains and the Pyro Company has fallen, couldn’t we retreat however we wanted?”

“The Pyro Company? Fall? With just us?” When Wang Yun laughed, his wound stretched, and he started to cough violently.

Wang Yun’s subordinate quickly said, “Sir, please don’t speak for now.”

“It’s fine. That young man’s medicine is truly magical.” Wang Yun said, “With this medicine, I won’t die.”

Cheng Yu stopped talking. Actually, Wang Yun was right. His boss had really not told them about the exfiltration plan, and neither did he know where she was.

Was he just cannon fodder? All of this was just so she could trap all these people from the other organizations and leave them for dead in the Sacred Mountains?

Cheng Yu could not be sure of that.

At this moment, many others were still facing the pursuit of the Pyro Company. A lot of them had already been brutally crushed by the T5 combatants.

It went alright for the supernatural beings among them. Some of them even managed to work together to keep their T5-ranked opponents in check and send them into a temporary retreat. Some others were able to finish off a T5 combatant just like Wang Yun did.

But if a normal person encountered a T5 combatant, they really stood no chance of surviving.

Everyone had come into the Sacred Mountains together. Regardless of whether they encountered any danger at the beginning, today’s battle marked the true beginning of the expedition.

Luo Lan had found his way to a small hillside. Occasionally, he could hear a sniper rifle cracking in the distance.

Luo Lan knew Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin were engaged in battle. He sighed and said, “Whoever encounters those two are in for a headache. Even a large group of people can’t kill as quickly as them.”

The martyred spirits next to Luo Lan were digging trenches and setting up dugouts. All of them were building up defensive fortifications very quickly.

One of the martyred spirits said with a smile, “Boss, we became stronger after our deaths, so our work rate has also gotten more efficient.” Luo Lan looked at them. “Which one of you will be the machine gunner?”

“I’ll do it.” The platoon commander stepped forward. “Boss, just wait behind the fortifications and watch. The Pyro Company members have no chance of breaking through this MG nest.”
