The Razor Sharp Company's idea was very simple. Wasn't it just to cripple the Soong Clan's mechanized troops from the perspective of energy sources?
But reality was cruel. They were unfamiliar with this place and did not even know where the oil refineries were.
They found the refugees and asked them. The refugees answered their questions enthusiastically and kept the secret.
But when the Razor Sharp Company found out the oil refinery was actually a canola oil refinery, they nearly suffocated.
After raiding three factories in a day, they did not even see a single proper oil refinery. Furthermore, everyone was exhausted. Ren Xiaosu could only bring them back to the uninhabited wilderness to plan their next step.
The plan to raid the oil refineries was scrapped. After all, they had already attacked three oil refineries. Even the Soong Clan could guess what they were up to. Therefore, the real crude oil refineries would definitely be heavily guarded at this moment.
"Then what should we do now?" Jiao Xiaochen smeared the sesame oil they had just snatched onto the fish and prepared to grill it.
Actually, what Ren Xiaosu and the others did not know was that if they had driven the steam locomotive to break into the stronghold before the 131st Brigade arrived at Stronghold 144 yesterday, they might have really destroyed the Soong Clan's granary.
After all, half of the infantry regiment's troops had been wiped out. Furthermore, three of their regimental commanders had died in a row, and the deputy regimental commander had also fled. The remaining troops were left without a leader.
If they really fought their way into the stronghold, the enemy might not be able to organize an effective defense.
Unfortunately, their information was too outdated. Even now, they still did not know that they had already killed three of the 1237th Regiment's regimental commanders.
"Then we'll just destroy any factories we see." Zhang Xiaoman said, "Didn't we say that we wanted to learn from the Kyung Clan? The Kyung Clan just destroys everything they see. I heard that the Yang Clan's industries in the north have been completely destroyed."
"How can we compare to the Kyung Clan? The Kyung Clan sent over a thousand people." Jiao Xiaochen rolled his eyes.
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu did not participate in the Razor Sharp Company's discussion. This was because he knew it would be difficult to come to a conclusion on this matter. It was best for the Razor Sharp Company not to have any plans. Only by doing so would the enemy be unable to figure out their rhythm and avoid being ambushed.
He wondered where Zong Cheng was right now. Previously, when he heard that Zong Cheng was in charge of the garrison of the Soong Clan's headquarters, Luo Lan even disdainfully said that it was a place for the Soong Clan's disciples.
Ren Xiaosu looked at Zhang Xiaoman. "Where is the headquarters of the Soong Clan?"
"Stronghold 146. It's about 400 kilometers away from here." Zhang Xiaoman said in surprise, "Xiaosu, you're not thinking of attacking their headquarters, are you? We won't have enough people with us. There's at least a brigade stationed at Stronghold 146 right now, so their headquarters will definitely be different."
"No." Ren Xiaosu shook his head. "I was just asking."
He thought to himself, 'A brigade …' It looked like he could only wait for Fortress 178 to attack them. Otherwise, he would really be sending the Razor Sharp Company to their deaths if he led them in.
But at this moment, the sound of armored tracks came from afar again. It sounded like the armored brigade had caught up to them.
Ren Xiaosu frowned. "How did they find us?"
"I don't know." Zhang Xiaoman was a little confused. They should not have left any clues behind when they left today.
"Let's not talk about that for now. That armored brigade is not as fast as us. Let's get out of here first."
But just as they were about to leave, a young man carrying a saber suddenly walked over alone from afar. He looked at Ren Xiaosu and the others and said with a laugh, "I've finally found y 'all —"
Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Xiaoman reacted extremely quickly and fired at him.
But to everyone's surprise, when the bullets got in front of the young man, a yellow honeycomb-like glow automatically lit up in front of him and blocked all the bullets.
"Why didn't you let me finish speaking? That's so rude." The young man shook his head and said with a calm expression, "There should be a supernatural being among you called Xu Xianchu, right? Who is he?"
At this moment, a yellow glow also lit up behind the young man like an impregnable fortress. But this time, the young man looked down in shock at the tip of a black saber protruding from his chest and the blood flowing out. He could no longer say a word.
Ren Xiaosu put away the Shadow Door and black saber and wondered, "Who the fuck was that?"
The young man fell to the ground and was no longer breathing.
Zhang Xiaoman answered, "He's probably a supernatural being from the Soong Clan? Why does he look so ferocious and not very smart? "
Ren Xiaosu's expression changed. Back when they crossed the Beiwan River, someone had seen the shadow clone. So the other party probably used that to determine that Xu Xianchu was in their group?
He absolutely could not let them continue talking like that. Otherwise, they might be exposed. Zhang Xiaoman and the others had not seen the shadow clone before.
So he killed him right away.
However, Ren Xiaosu did not expect he would kill the other party so easily.
Ren Xiaosu also knew the quality of supernatural beings was indeed uneven. Not all of them had combat experience, and some of them were quite arrogant. Yang Xiaojin had told him that there was a supernatural being in the Central Plains who immediately said he wanted to rule over the entire Central Plains after he awakened his powers. In the end, he was shot to death in the chaos.
There were also those who said they wanted to maintain peace, but they were also killed.
In any case, there were all kinds of people, and not everyone was as cautious as Wang Congyang.
However, the person they encountered today was especially stupid.
Ren Xiaosu wondered how the Soong Clan had groomed him.
"Forget it, let's not care about him. Let's move. Our position might've been exposed." Ren Xiaosu then summoned the steam locomotive and left, leaving the supernatural being's corpse in the wilderness. The Razor Sharp Company did not even look at him again.
But what Ren Xiaosu did not know was that this supernatural being was not so arrogant for no reason. That was because during the three months he had been recruited into the Soong Clan, the Soong Clan had even used artillery shells to test the sturdiness of his "defense system." In the end, he even managed to block the artillery shells.
Therefore, the sudden appearance of this supernatural being was actually just to hold them back before the armored brigade arrived. If it were anyone else, they might not have been able to hold the Razor Sharp Company back.
But to his surprise, there really seemed to be nothing that Ren Xiaosu's black saber could not cut through. The palace said it was the sharpest weapon, and that was not a lie at all. It was definitely the sharpest weapon in the world.
Then the supernatural being fell to his knees.
Ren Xiaosu and the others rode away on the steam locomotive again. When Zong Wu saw Ren Xiaosu and the others getting away again, he cursed angrily, "Didn't they say he's a very powerful supernatural being? Why can't he even hold him back for a while?! Trash! "
Zong Wu then looked at the other supernatural being next to him. "Don't tell me you're also as useless as him?"
That supernatural being's eyelids twitched. "I'm definitely stronger than him, but I'm good at finding other supernatural beings, not fighting. I've found so many supernatural beings for the Soong Clan …."
Zong Wu waved his hand impatiently. "Alright, alright, I got it. Where are they now?"
"I can only use this power three times a day, and I've already used up all three times for today. Also, the range can't exceed a radius of 100 kilometers …."
"How dare you say you're not useless …."
At this moment, Zong Wu was already anxious about his gold. How could he still be in the mood to be polite with this supernatural being?
When the supernatural being heard that, he got a little annoyed. However, he did not voice out his remaining doubts. He could clearly sense that there was only one supernatural being on the other side, so why did everyone say there were two or even three of them?
This was too strange.
