When Ren Xiaosu saw the Pyro Company logo on the other party's chest, his heart skipped a beat.
During this period, Ren Xiaosu had a rough idea of what kind of organization the Pyro Company was. They coveted the blood of supernatural beings, so Ren Xiaosu had long since placed them on the list of organizations he should be most wary of.
When Ren Xiaosu heard the Li Consortium had expelled the Pyro Company's members, he heaved a sigh of relief. That was because he was worried Chen Wudi's exposure would attract the Pyro Company's attention.
Later, Luo Lan and Yang Xiaojin said there were still people from the Pyro Company hiding in the stronghold. Furthermore, they had even targeted him and Xu Xianchu tonight.
Xu Xianchu asked in a low voice, "They're from the Pyro Company?"
Xu Xianchu's understanding of the outside world was obviously not as good as Ren Xiaosu's. Ren Xiaosu grunted in acknowledgment. "Be careful, they're up to no good. They specialize in capturing supernatural beings."
Xu Xianchu was stunned for a moment before saying, "I see."
Then Xu Xianchu pulled out a gun from his waist. He had brought this gun with him from Stronghold 113 and had not used it much along the way.
Although the gunshots might attract more trouble, they couldn't care less about that right now.
Ren Xiaosu observed the surrounding terrain. The roofs were almost at the same height, and the four members of the Pyro Company were standing in four different directions. It was as though they were going to surround Ren Xiaosu and Xu Xianchu here and not let any of them escape.
He might have to risk his life tonight, but the problem was that he did not want to reveal his ability to summon a shadow clone in front of Xu Xianchu.
A young man said with a smile, "Our Midnight has never failed in our operations so far. Why don't y 'all just surrender and save us the trouble?"
Xu Xianchu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Midnight? It's almost dawn now, isn't it? The time on your watch isn't right. "
The young man from Midnight was clearly taken aback. He suddenly realized Xu Xianchu had probably never even heard of Midnight before.
Ren Xiaosu wondered where this bastard came from. If he wanted to fight, then fight. What was he showing off for?
However, at this moment, Xu Xianchu and Ren Xiaosu suddenly raised their guns and fired. It was as if the two of them had discussed it beforehand, without any hesitation!
The clear sound of gunfire spread out in the night sky as though it was trying to wake up the sleeping stronghold.
A battle was a matter of life and death. There was no nonsense, no need to give it any meaning, and no need to consider the consequences. When you were involved in a battle, then you only needed to consider one thing, how to win!
However, the moment Ren Xiaosu and Xu Xianchu raised their hands, the targets they were aiming at actually tilted their heads and dodged the bullets at the same time. The other party had actually calculated the trajectory of Ren Xiaosu and Xu Xianchu in an instant, and their movements were so fast that they could react at will.
The man didn't even move his body. He just tilted his head and dodged the bullet.
Ren Xiaosu's heart slowly sank. No wonder the other party would spout such nonsense. He was actually this strong.
Actually, he could also determine the trajectory of a close-range bullet based on the angle at which the other party raised their hands. But if their opponents were all at this level, he and Xu Xianchu would probably not be a match for them.
Although Xu Xianchu had a shadow clone, he was physically weak and could very well become the gap between the two of them.
Ren Xiaosu looked at Midnight's people. Yang Xiaojin had said the reason the Pyro Company's plans could be disrupted by Luo Lan was only because Midnight had not arrived yet. It looked like Yang Xiaojin was serious.
He was silently calculating how to deal with the predicament in front of him. However, the four people around him seemed to be very calm and not anxious at all. This gave Ren Xiaosu a lot of pressure.
If he really wanted to run away, he might still be able to handle it, but Xu Xianchu would be in danger.
Furthermore, now that he had been targeted, would there really be no future trouble for him?
The other party had probably targeted Xu Xianchu because of Luo Lan's pursuit. Now, it was very likely that they had made a last-minute decision to capture Xu Xianchu. If he left, the Pyro Company would probably search the entire stronghold for him.
Ren Xiaosu said calmly, "What are y 'all planning to do by taking us away?"
"Contribute to the survival of all of humanity." The young man in the lead smiled and said, "Think about it. When the gene editing achieves a breakthrough, your genes might become the progenitors and continue to exist in the lives of all humans. How glorious would that be? All of humanity will remember you."
Ren Xiaosu smiled. "So y 'all are the beneficiaries of gene editing?"
"That's right." The young man smiled and said, "It's such a great achievement to be recorded in the annals of history. And the price you have to pay is nothing more than losing your freedom."
"Then what if I choose to be free?" Ren Xiaosu asked. He tore off a piece of cloth from the hem of his shirt and wrapped it around his hand. The cloth was swaying in the wind.
The young man looked at Ren Xiaosu and said, "If you choose to be free, I'm afraid you'll have to pay a price you can't afford."
The residents in the surroundings seemed to have woken up due to the gunshots. In the darkness of the night, many of the windows lit up again. Ren Xiaosu believed that it wouldn't be long before the people from the Li Consortium or some other organization would arrive.
Ren Xiaosu calmed down completely. He looked at the young man and said, "The price of freedom is to make it nobler."
At this moment, the swaying cloth no longer swayed. It was as if the air in the world had frozen, and there was no longer any wind.
Ren Xiaosu thought to himself, 'Now's the time.'
In that instant, it was as if a killing machine had shot over from afar.
The chest of the young man who had been speaking suddenly exploded, and blood splattered in the air, forming a huge radial fan on the roof.
A bullet suddenly shot over from several hundred meters away. It was only when Ren Xiaosu could see the shape of the blood in the air that the gunshot grew louder and louder.
The bright red blood complemented the dense night sky.
Thank you.
Ren Xiaosu smiled brilliantly. He said to Xu Xianchu, "Go and deal with the one on the left."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ren Xiaosu jumped towards the roof on the right. An opening had appeared in the encirclement formed by the four of them. This was the path that Yang Xiaojin had opened for him!
There were no more bullets. Ren Xiaosu knew that even with his Perfect Firearms Proficiency, it would be impossible for him to hit a supernatural being who was moving at high speed from several hundred meters away. Unless Yang Xiaojin was a god!
Therefore, Ren Xiaosu could only rely on himself from now on.
Due to Ren Xiaosu's actions, the entire battlefield was split up. Of the three remaining people on Midnight's side, one stayed behind to deal with Xu Xianchu, while the other two chased after Ren Xiaosu.
Ren Xiaosu did not stay on the roof. If he wanted to go all out, he would have to do it in a place where the outside world could not see him. That would be his greatest trump card!
When Ren Xiaosu jumped into a small alley, Midnight and Xu Xianchu also jumped in. But when they were about to give chase, they realized that Ren Xiaosu did not continue running away. Instead, he blocked the two of them in the alley all by himself!
The two of them looked at each other. Where did this young man get his confidence from? He actually dared to fight the two of them alone?!
