Chapter 829 - The Pyro Company retreats! (1/2)
The Pyro Company in front of them was not just a small part of the advance guard. Ren Xiaosu could even see a continuous stream of military transport vehicles and mechanized troops behind them.
This was part of the Pyro Company’s main forces!
As there was no source of intel, Ren Xiaosu did not know when the Pyro Company had captured Stronghold 32. He guessed that the stronghold must have fallen sometime during the night before the Pyro Company launched a blitzkrieg on Stronghold 31.
This was intricately linked to the T5 combatant’s plan to lead the special forces to complete the decapitation strike. Their goal was to catch the Kong Consortium off guard.
Still on the brakes, Yang Xiaojin asked, “Should we escape?”
“We can’t get away anymore.” Ren Xiaosu sighed. If it were just the two of them, they could easily leave right now. But they still had the Trinity Institute led by Wang Jing behind them.
If the two of them were to escape just like that, Wang Jing and the others would definitely end up in a bad state.
The Pyro Company was right in front of them. Even if their off-road vehicles were high-performance models, they still couldn’t escape from the other party’s mechanized troops.
It was a pity that his steam locomotive was still sealed. Otherwise, he would not be in such a dilemma.
The doctors in the vehicles were panicking. When had they ever been caught in such a situation before? Someone kept asking Wang Jing over the walkie-talkie, “Elder, what should we do now?”
“Why don’t we go and talk to them? We’re just doctors, after all. What does the war between the Pyro Company and the Kong Consortium have to do with our medical team from the Wang Consortium?”
Wang Jing did not know what to do either. Even though he had been in many dangerous situations before, it was nothing compared to being caught up in a war.
However, he quickly said through the walkie-talkie, “Everyone, be careful not to expose Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin’s identities. Remember, they’re members of our medical team. They’re just two ordinary doctors. If anyone deliberately reveals any information to the Pyro Company, don’t blame me for not showing mercy when we return to the Wang Consortium.”
When Ren Xiaosu heard Wang Jing’s voice, he fell silent. He did not expect Wang Jing’s first thought would be to protect him.
Everyone watched Ren Xiaosu suddenly open the car door. Then he raised his hands above his head and walked towards the Pyro Company’s troops. He shouted, “We’re the medical team from the Wang Consortium’s Trinity Institute. We’re here on a medical exchange with the Kong Consortium. Please don’t harm us. We can hand over all our weapons. We aren’t combatants, so please don’t kill the innocent.”
Everyone in the vehicles was shocked. Seeing that the Pyro Company’s soldiers were pointing their guns at the convoy, none of them would have the courage to step forward and face the Pyro Company’s main forces alone.
But this young man had a courage that the average person did not have.
Yang Xiaojin glanced at Ren Xiaosu and slowly got out of the vehicle as well. She raised her hands to indicate she was unarmed.
Ren Xiaosu was also very nervous at this moment. He was very worried the Pyro Company’s main forces would indiscriminately shoot at any suspicious targets.
After all, it was wartime now and nothing could be certain.
At the rear of the convoy, Wang Jing took the lead and got out of the vehicle. He also threw the automatic rifle Wang Run had given them on the ground.
Two platoons from the Pyro Company quickly approached them. One of the platoons was responsible for watching over everyone from the Trinity Institute while the other carefully searched all the vehicles. They even cut open the seats of the vehicles with their tactical daggers. In the end, they discovered the vehicles were only filled with medical equipment and medicine.
