Chapter 774 - The steam locomotive gets pursued (1/2)

Luo Lan sulked to the Zhou Consortium.

Even though he and Ren Xiaosu had formed a solid friendship, and even though he knew how annoying Ren Xiaosu was usually, he would still get angry at him if there was a reason to.

For his trip to the Zhou Consortium in the South this time, Luo Lan had planned to get there by going around the Wang Consortium’s territory. As such, he could not travel together with Ren Xiaosu.

According to him, the Wang Consortium was increasingly getting crazier by the day. In normal times, he might be able to go there and walk around openly since both parties had maintained a polite restraint with each other. But as of now, who knew if the Wang Consortium would do something bad to him?

Ren Xiaosu watched Luo Lan’s receding figure as he left, while Yang Xiaojin stood beside him with her hands in her jacket pockets. They were the only ones left in the originally bustling group.

“Whatcha you thinking about?” Yang Xiaojin asked.

“I feel like I’ve been constantly faced with separation ever since I left Stronghold 113’s town.” Ren Xiaosu said, “I guess this is what adult life is like.”

But not long after Luo Lan left, the sound of a steam locomotive traveling through the wilderness could be heard.

As the sound approached, Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin looked at each other. “Wang Congyang?”

Honestly speaking, they did not expect to bump into Wang Congyang here. Didn’t he flee from the Sacred Mountains? Why would he appear here?

And from the sound of it, the steam locomotive seemed to be traveling from the direction of the Sacred Mountains towards them at full speed.

The two of them hid behind a mound and waited to see what was going on. Ren Xiaosu wondered, “Could he be here to seek revenge on me? That old bastard is usually very cautious. He can’t be that bold, right?”

Yang Xiaojin looked at Ren Xiaosu in silence. So in your opinion, seeking revenge on you was a sign of audacity?

While pondering, Ren Xiaosu could see the steam locomotive appearing on the horizon. The steam locomotive kicked up a cloud of dust and smoke in its wake, looking like it was making an extremely powerful appearance.

For some reason, the rugged-looking steam locomotive looked particularly compatible with the wilderness out here.

“Wait a minute,” Yang Xiaojin said as she held up her spotting scope, “There’s others behind the steam locomotive.”

Ren Xiaosu was surprised to see through his spotting scope about 10 off-road vehicles following the steam locomotive. It looked like they were aggressively chasing after Wang Congyang!

“A great escape in the wilderness? A grand pursuit in the wilderness? This is spectacular!” Ren Xiaosu exclaimed emotionally as he looked on in amazement.

Some time ago, he had heard the female singer, Li Ran, discussing making movies with Director Mu. They both expressed it would be very difficult for the film industry to recover to its previous level before The Cataclysm as there were too many scenes that could not be achieved now.

That was why Director Mu Wan’ge wanted to make a documentary about supernatural beings. That was because the actual combat scenes of supernatural beings these days were even more enjoyable to watch than the stunts and special effects in movies before The Cataclysm.

In the past, who would really destroy a stronghold for you to see? Who could witness what a real cave-in at a lake looked like?

“Shouldn’t we be thinking about how to solve this current situation?” Yang Xiaojin reminded him.

“Oh, yeah.” Ren Xiaosu nodded. “Wait, let’s see what happens next.”

Ren Xiaosu was a little puzzled. Who could possibly be so bored to pursue Wang Congyang out here in the middle of nowhere?

Oh, it wasn’t without reason, after all. Ren Xiaosu had seen the Pyro Company’s logo on the off-road vehicles at the back. From the looks of it, they had been chasing him all the way here from the Sacred Mountains.

Ren Xiaosu muttered, “It’s all my fault…. There’s a total of seven off-road vehicles behind the steam locomotive. They should all be from the Pyro Company. Let’s get rid of them first. I feel that killing them should be a higher priority than taking Wang Congyang out.”
