Ren Xiaosu carefully recalled the information Tang Zhou had told him. The day before yesterday, Tang Zhou had mentioned that the Kyung Clan had defeated the Divine Arms Battalion, but he did not mention how many of them they had defeated.
But now that everyone was having such a good time working together, Qing Zhen and Tang Zhou would not have fooled him. Moreover, even though Qing Zhen was arrogant, he had always been reliable and trustworthy. Something must have gone wrong in the meantime.
Ren Xiaosu observed the two nanosoldiers walking over and was surprised to see them looking flustered. This did not make sense.
They were currently in the hinterland of the Li Consortium, and there were different Li Consortium troops stationed every dozen kilometers. So the Divine Arms Battalion should not be panicking after retreating here.
Could they have encountered other enemies along the way?
Wait a minute, could it be Li Shentan? Ren Xiaosu knew that Li Shentan had disappeared with a combat brigade. Since Li Shentan had a feud with the Li Consortium, he might have really brought his combat brigade to the battlefield and ambushed the Divine Arms Battalion from the rear.
The moment the two wounded members of the Divine Arms Battalion walked into the Brambles, Ren Xiaosu controlled the Brambles to wrap them up tightly.
The two wounded Divine Arms soldiers were already defeated and could not struggle at all.
After Ren Xiaosu made sure there was no one else around, he jumped out of the snow. The two Divine Arms officers were horrified to discover someone had crawled out of the snow. The terrifying Brambles looked like they were being controlled by someone!
Ren Xiaosu did not kill them right away. Instead, he came up to them and asked with a frown, "Where are the others from your Divine Arms Battalion?"
The Divine Arms officer gritted his teeth and said, "Who are you? Who the hell are you? Why are you wearing our Divine Arms uniform?! "
Ren Xiaosu glanced at the military uniform he was wearing and snapped, "Didn't y 'all exchange these for us?"
The two Divine Arms officers were stunned. What did he mean?
Wait a minute, they suddenly remembered. So this young man in front of them was a soldier from the private army!
But why was there a person who could control the terrifying plants hidden in the private army?
He must be a spy!
This young man must be a spy!
The two officers of the Godly Arms Battalion suddenly realized something. One of them roared, "You exposed our whereabouts. That's why the Kyung Clan is prepared to ambush us!"
"Cough! Cough! What are you saying? Why don't I understand?" Ren Xiaosu asked, "Let me ask you something else. Where are the others of your Divine Strategy Battalion? Were you ambushed by a strange troop? If no one answers, I'll ask again later. "
"They're about 20 kilometers behind us. Go and take a look for yourself if you have the guts," the Divine Arms officer said ferociously.
Ren Xiaosu replied with an "Oh" and decisively killed them with the thorny vines. He was a little confused as to why the two of them were acting alone. He was afraid that he would only find out if he went further north.
He removed the nanomachines from the two men's bodies and searched their pockets for their belongings before tossing their guns into his storage space.
He had consumed a lot of food at the outpost some time ago, so his storage space was also a little empty.
However, Ren Xiaosu was not in a hurry to leave. He dug around in the snow for a long time before he found the dozen or so poker cards he had hidden in the snow.
He had thought a lot of the Divine Arms Battalion would pass by here, so he even used the Explosive Poker cards. But in the end, it turned out to be a waste of his time and effort. He even wasted a lot of his gratitude tokens to plant more than a dozen thorny vines.
The Explosive Poker cards could still be retrieved, but the thorny vines could not be removed once they were planted.
After finding all the Explosive Poker cards, Ren Xiaosu headed north. He was still at Mt. Tantou, and if he went further north, he would be in the territory of Mt. Fengyi. It was not difficult for him to wade through the snow, but he had to be careful to not expose himself.
It was morning when they set off. By the time Ren Xiaosu arrived at Mt. Fengyi, it was already afternoon. However, just as he climbed over a small hill, Ren Xiaosu was stunned. He saw an officer of the Divine Arms Battalion lying on the ground in front of him. His blood had dyed a large patch of snow pink.
The blood did not flow out, but splattered out!
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu suddenly understood what was strange. The officer of the Divine Arms Battalion had encountered a sniper when he was retreating. Of the entire Divine Arms Battalion, only the two he had seen survived. The rest were all dead!
And before the two Divine Arms officers died, they had wanted to lure him, a spy, to the battlefield where the sniper was lying in ambush. As Ren Xiaosu was wearing the uniform of the Divine Arms Battalion, he would also become the sniper's target if he were to come here.
The officer of the Divine Arms Battalion was rather strong-willed. The first thing he thought of before his death was not to beg for mercy, but to lure Ren Xiaosu here to kill him.
However, the sniper should have left by now. The time Ren Xiaosu took to stand in the snow and ponder was definitely more than enough for an excellent sniper to kill him. However, no bullets had come for him even after so long.
Moreover, it should have been quite some time since the sniper's operation. There was no reason for the sniper to stay here all this time. He had completed his mission of killing the Divine Arms Battalion.
But why would an unknown sniper suddenly appear here? Was it someone from the Kyung Clan? That shouldn't be the case. The only people from the Kyung Clan at the rear of the battlefield were Tang Zhou and his men. This had been confirmed by Tang Zhou.
Then who else could it be? The Yang Clan!
Ren Xiaosu rummaged through the snow for a long time, but he was a little disappointed when he found the sniper bullet. It was not the silver-gray bullet of the Saboteurs, and it did not have the unique pattern of the bullets carried by the Saboteurs.
Of course, this was normal. The entire Yang Clan must have sent a lot of troops to the front lines, and there would also be a lot of snipers. Furthermore, as a member of the consortium, Yang Xiaojin had just returned to the consortium to recuperate, so how could she have returned to the battlefield so soon?
Yang Xiaojin should be at Stronghold 88 right now.
Ren Xiaosu searched for traces of the Divine Arms officers along the way. Every time he found one of them, he would collect a little more nanomachines.
This was truly a bountiful harvest. His armor was almost complete.
But at this moment, before he could find all the corpses of the Divine Arms officers, he heard the sound of engines approaching from the mountain roads to the south. Ren Xiaosu frowned. The people heading north at this moment must be the Li Consortium's troops. They must have also seen the Brambles and the two dead Divine Arms officers.
Ren Xiaosu immediately put away his greed and ran towards the snowy mountains. There would be many more opportunities to collect nanomachines in the future, but if he got exposed, he would be in big trouble.
One of Ren Xiaosu's greatest strengths was that he could always maintain his rationality in the face of great temptation. For example, when he decisively put down the gold back in the Jing Mountains.
This ambush of the Divine Arms officers was smoother than Ren Xiaosu had imagined. He did not even have to put in much effort as the mysterious sniper helped him take out 99% of the enemies.
However, this mysterious sniper also made the situation suddenly strange.
