Wang Congyang was far more difficult to deal with than Ren Xiaosu had imagined.
Back in town, Ren Xiaosu had covered up the details almost flawlessly, but Wang Congyang still refused to let him off the hook.
But now, Ren Xiaosu and the others had thought the bandits in the Northwest would be the main battlefield. But they realized they had made the wrong judgment.
When the shadow clone encountered these bandits, Ren Xiaosu immediately determined there were at least several hundred of them. Therefore, he instinctively thought that this was Wang Congyang's main force.
But Wang Congyang was even more ruthless. He used 200 people as cannon fodder to attract the enemy's firepower. Wang Congyang clearly knew these 200 people would die here, but he did not care at all!
Ren Xiaosu thought it was no wonder this fellow could establish himself in the valley. It was not only because of his superpower, but also because of his cunning and ruthless mind.
The bandits in the Northwest had not all been killed yet, but the sniper fire had suddenly stopped. Ren Xiaosu immediately understood that Yang Xiaojin had also realized something was amiss and was quickly shifting her battlefield to look for a new vantage point.
Without any verbal communication, Yang Xiaojin believed that Ren Xiaosu's shadow clone would be able to take care of the remaining remnants of the defeated bandits.
Seeing that more than half of the 200-odd bandits in the Northwest had been killed or injured, they were scared out of their wits. This inexplicable shadow clone could neither be driven away nor killed.
Meanwhile, Ren Xiaosu knew that if Wang Congyang's main force really came from another direction, they would not be able to defeat them head-on. Xu Jinyuan had said that Wang Congyang had heavy firepower RPGs!
So he had to think of another way! They had to avoid the main battlefield!
As for what to do with Jin Lan and the others, Ren Xiaosu could only bet that Yang Xiaojin would arrive in time!
Jin Lan looked northeast into the darkness and said, "There are ravines all over there. If the other party hides in the ravines and advances, I'm afraid it'll be very difficult for Sister-in-law to use her sniper rifle."
"How could they be so familiar with the terrain?" Zhang Yiheng asked curiously. "If they had never been here before, they would probably get lost in the ravine, right?"
Xu Jinyuan sighed. "It's my fault. I should've kept that brother. I think he exposed our information and let the bandits know that we have a sniper. That's why the main force chose to move in places where the sniper can't see. Moreover, he has worked here for twenty days and is familiar with the terrain. He often goes out at night to feel the terrain. "
Jin Lan was silent for a moment. "You didn't do anything wrong. We can only say that we each made our own choices, so there's no need to feel guilty. As the saying goes, if the general doesn't dismount from his horse, everyone goes their separate ways … "
"Haha." Next to him, Zhang Yiheng loaded the bullets into the magazine. "Jin Lan, you're quite a cultured person, aren't you?"
Jin Lan said humbly, "I went to school for a few years …."
"We can't just rely on Sister-in-law's sniper rifle to suppress the enemy. We're all men, and we have guns in our hands too. We can kill the enemy too." Zhang Yiheng said heroically, "Didn't everyone say it was a pity that the enemy couldn't get to us earlier? Now that they're about to get here, don't be cowards when the time comes."
But at this moment, the sound of metal clashing suddenly rang out in the night.
That strange sound of metal clashing sounded like someone was swinging a weapon at each other. It also sounded like someone had swung a hammer and hit an iron nail on a piece of steel.
The sound was very sudden, but it was also very powerful.
Suddenly, a fog spread out. It was like a huge creature was charging towards them from the void.
Suddenly, there was another clicking sound. It grew from nothing to something, from slow to fast!
Following that, a black steam locomotive rushed out from behind the fog and smashed through the gray fog!
"Fuck!" Jin Lan roared, "Where the fuck did that train come from?!"
The consortiums also had trains, but they were only used in a very small number of places to transport minerals and supplies. It was not that the consortiums could not afford to build them, but that the tectonic movements in the Southwest and Northwest were too frequent. As a result, the maintenance of the railroad tracks required an extremely high price. Sometimes, newly built railroad tracks would break the next day.
How could an earthquake that could shatter two strongholds be resisted by humans?
But Jin Lan and the others knew about trains. Jin Lan had also seen blurry pictures of them in school textbooks!
But he couldn't figure out where this train had come from.
The sound of metal clashing against metal came from the steel-like tracks appearing on the ground as the train moved forward. The tracks also flew over from nothingness and automatically laid themselves under the feet of the black steam train. As the train moved forward, the tracks behind it disappeared one by one, and the tracks in front of it appeared one by one.
The steam locomotive had four carriages. Jin Lan instinctively fired at the train, but the problem was that when the bullets hit the train, they could only create sparks!
"Dodge!" Jin Lan roared.
They saw the train rushing towards their simple fortifications. It was going to completely destroy their defensive position.
Before the enemy could arrive, a steel monster had arrived!
The train was moving extremely fast. Before Jin Lan and the others could dodge, the front of the train had already crashed into a low brick wall. The brick wall was smashed to pieces like tofu.
This was the power of supernatural beings. In this era of the rise of the gods, supernatural beings were getting stronger and stronger. No one knew what kind of shocking things would happen in the future!
Many of the bandits were killed on the hard and cold train because they could not dodge in time. When the train passed by Jin Lan and the other bandits who were safe and sound, Jin Lan and the others could only watch helplessly as the steam locomotive crashed into the village where the refugees were staying. There were mud houses there, brand-new brick houses that had just been built, and fellow villagers who cooked for them.
Jin Lan stared blankly at this scene. Then he watched with his own eyes as the houses they had just built were reduced to rubble and the refugees inside were crushed under the bricks.
But the steam locomotive that seemed to have come from hell was still unscathed.
Gunshots rang out, but they were not fired by Jin Lan and the others.
Some of the bandits in the northeast had finally rushed out of the ravine under the cover of the steam locomotive and were charging at Jin Lan and the others!
One of Jin Lan's companions was shot and fell to the ground. Blood flowed out of his wound.
It was over. It seemed like everything was over. They had worked hard to make bricks and build houses, but they were easily destroyed by the enemy.
They called each other brothers when they met every day, but their brothers had also died beside them.
Xu Jinyuan hid behind a pile of rubble and said in a daze, "Did any of you see Big Brother?"
It was only then that they realized Ren Xiaosu had disappeared!
"Where's Big Brother?"
"Who saw where Big Brother went?"
Behind the trembling questions, fear and a sense of loneliness from being abandoned spread. "Did Big Brother abandon us and run away?"
Intense gunfire rang out as the enemy got closer and closer.
Some of the bandits started fleeing into the wilderness behind them.
Although everyone had a sense of belonging to this place, no one was willing to risk their lives for it.
That beautiful hope was ultimately not enough to overcome survival.
Some people would leave, but there would also be some who would stay behind.
Zhang Yiheng suddenly spat, "I don't believe he would abandon us and run away. He must have something more important to do."
"Then what should we do?" a bandit asked.
"Motherf * cker!" Zhang Yiheng roared, "Don't we all have guns in our hands? The house I worked so hard to build has collapsed! Everyone, open fire! Avenge the house and our brothers!"
