Words:1662Update:22/06/29 12:34:25
The sounds of explosions could still be heard from time to time in the stronghold, but they were much quieter now. As Ren Xiaosu hurried along, he saw many stronghold residents coming out of their homes. Everyone gathered together and seemed to be discussing what was going on.
Some people said a factory might have caught fire, and some flammable and explosive materials in the factory had exploded.
But Ren Xiaosu felt it couldn't be that simple, especially during such a tense time. After all, a lot of dangerous people were gathered in Stronghold 109 right now.
When Ren Xiaosu arrived in front of the tall building, he was surprised to see the Li Consortium's bank sign on it. However, he did not care about it and climbed to the top of the building by following the external vantage point.
But just as he climbed to the edge of the rooftop and was about to jump up, a black muzzle was pressed against his forehead. Ren Xiaosu was stunned. He did not expect there to be someone up there!
He looked up and saw the familiar cap on the other party's face.
Yang Xiaojin did not seem to have expected to see Ren Xiaosu here either. She felt that the two of them had a strange tacit understanding. The things they were doing and the vantage point they chose would coincide surprisingly at some point.
But right now, Yang Xiaojin had the absolute initiative. She said with a smile, "What are you doing here at this hour?"
"Didn't everyone come here because of the explosion?" Ren Xiaosu said calmly. He was now certain that the explosion was not caused by Yang Xiaojin. After all, they were still some distance away from the explosion site.
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu was trying to avoid Yang Xiaojin's muzzle. But he knew very well that with Yang Xiaojin's marksmanship, he did not stand a chance at all.
Yang Xiaojin said with a smile, "I'll ask you again. Is the dagger yours or mine?"
Ren Xiaosu said in a serious tone, "It's mine."
Yang Xiaojin was speechless.
To be honest, Ren Xiaosu did not expect that Yang Xiaojin would still want her dagger at such a critical moment, and Yang Xiaojin did not expect Ren Xiaosu to still want the dagger at such a critical moment!
"Come on up," Yang Xiaojin put the gun away with a cold face. She didn't know what to do with Ren Xiaosu. Pointing the gun at him was just to scare Ren Xiaosu, but she couldn't really shoot him.
Ren Xiaosu climbed up to the rooftop and patted the dust off his body. "What happened? Why is there such a big commotion?"
"The Pyro Company is playing with fire." Yang Xiaojin explained, "When an awakened supernatural being went to sell his blood, he thought the Pyro Company was really some charity organization. In the end, the Pyro Company took action on the spot and tried to arrest him, but they failed."
"So the Pyro Company is really baiting someone with a million-dollar reward," Ren Xiaosu said with a sigh. Fortunately, he did not go to sell his blood and stopped Chen Wudi. "But how could the Pyro Company fail?"
How could such a powerful company dare to bait a supernatural being if they were not fully prepared?
"They did succeed the first time. They injected a large dose of anesthetic into the supernatural being's body, but they didn't expect the supernatural being to have a companion." Yang Xiaojin explained, "These two supernatural beings probably knew each other a long time ago. Before they went to the Pyro Company to exchange their money, they agreed that if something happened to one of them, the other would come to their rescue. You can say that they're allies."
Ren Xiaosu finally understood. So the supernatural being who went to sell his blood was also prepared. He chuckled and said, "Since the Pyro Company has failed, shouldn't we have a chance to get back at them now?"
"Don't underestimate the Pyro Company." Yang Xiaojin shook her head. "The company's' Midnight 'fighting force is very powerful even though they only sent five people. The reason those two supernatural beings are still able to hold on until now is that the Kyung Clan's Fatty Luo is also up to something. "
"Luo Lan?" Ren Xiaosu said in surprise, "Why is he going against the Pyro Company?"
"Qing Zhen set up an ambush and arrested more than a 100 members of the Pyro Company last year." Yang Xiaojin said, "The Pyro Company and the Kyung Clan are sworn enemies now. It's the kind that won't stop until one of them is dead."
This confused Ren Xiaosu a little. "Why would Qing Zhen go against the Pyro Company?"
"That's because the Pyro Company used this method to capture a soldier under Qing Zhen who was on leave. That operation was very successful, and it was even more covert. Qing Zhen only discovered it after the Pyro Company retreated," Yang Xiaojin explained. "However, Qing Zhen managed to rescue that soldier from the ambush he set up to capture the members of the Pyro Company."
Ren Xiaosu was speechless.
What the fuck was their relationship? This was such a mess. Were all the conflicts between the consortiums so intense?
Ren Xiaosu could not help but ask, "Then why did y 'all kill Qing Zhen? You're clearly at odds with the Pyro Company, so isn't the enemy of your enemy your friend?"
Yang Xiaojin glanced at him. "An enemy is an enemy. We don't play the game of alliance."
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt that the organization Yang Xiaojin belonged to must have a very clear goal or organizational principles. Anyone who interfered with their interests would probably end up on their assassination list.
"You're very curious, aren't you?" Yang Xiaojin's face was pressed against the cold barrel of the gun as she looked into the distance through the scope that was as thick as her forearm. "The Pyro Company and Qing Zhen are both trying to control something they can't control at all. Whether they succeed or fail, it'll still be a disaster for them."
Ren Xiaosu understood. So the purpose of Yang Xiaojin's organization was love and peace … Wasn't that just bullsh * t?
Wasn't that just bullshit? Ren Xiaosu did not believe anyone in this world could be so selfless.
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu saw countless of the Li Consortium's combat troops arriving at the battlefield. They quickly sealed off all the intersections and set up roadblocks and bunkers. Then, fully armed platoons infiltrated the core area of the battlefield cautiously.
Meanwhile, the rooftop Yang Xiaojin had chosen happened to be outside the perimeter of the blockade. Ren Xiaosu knew he had gotten lucky, but Yang Xiaojin probably did not rely on luck. Instead, she had chosen this place because she knew about the Li Consortium's combat troops' habits.
Ren Xiaosu asked, "The Li Consortium is a little slow to get here. Stronghold 109 is their home turf."
"They have something more important to protect right now." Yang Xiaojin said calmly, "They won't care too much about anything that doesn't threaten that thing. Keep quiet."
After saying that, Yang Xiaojin's breathing suddenly calmed down.
He looked in the direction of the muzzle of the gun. However, what surprised him was that outside the Li Consortium's encirclement, a manhole cover was suddenly pushed open from the inside. And the first person to climb out of the sewer was actually Luo Lan!
Fatty Luo was panting as he climbed out. Tang Zhou and the others were following behind him, and Tang Zhou was carrying an unconscious person on his shoulder. They were running in the direction of the vehicles they had parked on the side of the road. It looked like they were getting ready to drive away.
