Chapter 900 - P5092s Thoughts (1/2)

While it might seem ferocious to have killed several thousand barbarian troops, Ren Xiaosu understood the situation he was in. It was not that easy to get the “quad tens” bomb from the Explosive Poker deck, and he had only managed to gather this set of “quad tens” after spending hundreds of gratitude tokens to draw the cards. As for getting the even more valuable bombs, he had only obtained a single jack through the draws so far.

So if he really wanted to get the King Bomb, he would probably have to spend tens of thousands of gratitude tokens.

But Ren Xiaosu was also hugely looking forward to unlocking the third weapon. Although he had more than 5,000 gratitude tokens, it did not make sense to use everything in exchange for the Explosive Poker cards.

Unless he were in grave danger, he would not resort to using the Explosive Poker cards to save himself.

Moreover, the ear pick given by the palace was now missing. Ren Xiaosu asked the palace, “If the ear pick is lost, can I still use Ear Picking?”

The voice from the palace answered, “Yes, but there is a cooldown time until the ear pick is restored.”

“How long’s the cooldown?” Ren Xiaosu asked.

“Seven days.”

“Alright then, looks like I should try not to have a direct confrontation with the barbarians in the next seven days,” Ren Xiaosu said with a sigh.

He received internal injuries again. If it weren’t for the fact that he wanted to keep Old Xu hidden in the forest in case there was an opportunity to strike, he would have had Old Xu carry him while running away.

Right now, Ren Xiaosu’s body could barely engage in high-intensity battles. His combat capacity in a battle was still not as powerful as Li Shentan’s, after all.

If Li Shentan were here, he could easily hypnotize a group of the barbarians’ main forces and have them fight an attrition battle among themselves until he was the only one remaining.

Unfortunately, Li Shentan was currently waiting for the typhoon season in the South. No one knew what kind of mentality it took to purposely wait for typhoons to arrive. Based on the timing, the typhoons would probably arrive at the south coast only in July or August. As such, it would probably be very difficult to see Li Shentan again before that.

It was very difficult to guess what a lunatic was thinking.

In the past, many of the consortiums were glad the guy was a lunatic. He was not willing to participate in any political struggles and did not have any thoughts of world supremacy. Otherwise, many of the consortiums would be in trouble.

That was the status the Demon Whisperer commanded in this currently chaotic world…

He was someone even the consortiums feared.

At this moment, Ren Xiaosu, Yang Xiaojin, and the 7th Division, who were making their escape with them, were about to arrive at the defensive line set up by the 3rd Division.

From afar, Ren Xiaosu could already see P5092 ordering the soldiers in the defensive line to open up a path for the 7th Division. Meanwhile, the 1st and 4th Divisions continued to retreat after a quick reorganization. The evacuation would not end until everyone safely returned south of the Great Wall.

Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin jumped behind the makeshift defensive line constructed with sandbags by the 3rd Division. He said, “I’ve brought the 7th Division back as promised. Including your 3rd Division, there’ll be four divisions retreating back to south of the Great Wall.”

P5092 had said that as long as four of their divisions managed to retreat, the Pyro Company would still have a chance of winning this battle.

However, P5092 shook his head and said with a smile, “It’s three divisions. The 3rd Division will stay here and provide cover for the other troops to retreat.”

“You want to sacrifice yourself?” Ren Xiaosu frowned. He thought to himself, ‘Why is this person going back on his word? Haven’t we agreed that he’ll join the Prosperous Northwest? Why does he insist on dying here?‘

Ren Xiaosu was prepared to knock P5092 unconscious and carry him away. Since he had already done everything he needed to do, what was the point of him staying here?
