Since they were setting off to look for their friends, the atmosphere should naturally be more cheerful.
As such, Vanilla and the others followed behind Li Shentan expressionlessly and listened to the Pyro Company members singing a long-lost song in front of them. "Looking, looking, looking for a friend, finally finding a good friend."
When the Pyro Company members heard this song, they would cry. Vanilla and the others would fall silent.
Meanwhile, on Ren Xiaosu's side, everyone looked at White Mask. They wanted to hear his decision on where to go from here.
White Mask remained silent. The more he acted like this, the heavier the atmosphere in the campsite became.
Could it be that White Mask did not know what to do?
Or did he also have the intention to retreat?
Everyone's imaginations ran wild.
But in reality, the reason White Mask did not say anything was because he did not know how to speak.
Although Cheng Yu had also started suspecting White Mask was a mute over the past two days, he did not dare to ask.
Amidst the silence, Ren Xiaosu sized up the new recruits. Most of these people who could escape the Pyro Company's encirclement were probably highly skilled.
Even if they were not supernatural beings, they still had excellent combat skills.
Initially, Ren Xiaosu had wanted to blend in with the main group and fish in troubled waters.
But now that too many people had gathered in their group, the other groups were even slowly merging with them.
In this way, they would become too big of a target. If they were not careful, the Pyro Company might go all out to wipe them out.
They were about to get close to the core area of the Sacred Mountains, and their signal had been completely blocked. All of this was a declaration that they would soon face an even more brutal encirclement.
Under such circumstances, Ren Xiaosu preferred to act alone.
A moment later, Yang Xiaojin suddenly pulled him back and rolled backwards. With a thud, a sniper bullet hit the spot where they had been sitting.
But while Ren Xiaosu was fine, the others were not so lucky. A young man who had just joined the group was pierced by another sniper bullet before he could even get up to dodge.
Ren Xiaosu's reaction was not slow either. He followed Yang Xiaojin and ran into the forest. The Pyro Company's counterattack came faster than they had imagined!
However, he did not understand why the other party was in such a hurry to make a move during the day.
Of course, if he knew Li Shentan was leading a team here to rendezvous with him, he would understand the Pyro Company was worried it would be difficult to deal with them after the two teams joined forces!
Luo Lan rolled and crawled behind Ren Xiaosu. "Wait for me!"
As he spoke, he followed Ren Xiaosu and the others to find cover.
However, Luo Lan suddenly realized that the two people in front of him did not seem to have any intention of looking for cover. Instead, they seemed to be looking for the best position to counterattack.
White Mask also started moving. It did not run after Ren Xiaosu. Instead, it ran in the opposite direction, causing the others to run in the opposite direction from Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin.
The violent roar of the sniper rifle kept ringing out, but the sniper was clearly not paying attention to their small group of people. Instead, it was Old Xu's side that helped attract all the firepower.
However, Cheng Yu and the others were not pushovers either. In just an instant, Cheng Yu's illusion was activated.
Countless figures were running in all directions in the wilderness, so much so that the sniper hiding in the dark could not even tell which of them were real and which were fake.
Although Cheng Yu's illusion did not have any actual lethality, it was indeed excellent when used to confuse the enemy.
Cheng Yu bought time for everyone. He shouted to the people around him, "Is there anyone who has the power to take care of the sniper? It's not a good idea to keep being suppressed like this. My illusion can only last for another ten minutes at most!"
However, no one answered him. It seemed that none of their powers could kill the enemy from afar.
Cheng Yu suddenly thought of something. Wasn't White Mask's partner good at using a sniper rifle? He shouted at White Mask, "Get your partner to take action. I'll create an illusion to cover you!"
But Old Xu only cared about running for his life and ignored Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu panicked. He looked around to see if there was any other hope. But when he did, he was surprised to find that Ren Xiaosu, Yang Xiaojin, and the others had disappeared. Along with them were Luo Lan, Zhou Qi, and Big Bluff!
Strange, why didn't these people follow the main group?
At this moment, Yang Xiaojin said as she ran, "There's only Luo Lan, Zhou Qi, and Big Bluff following us. We've confirmed that there are two snipers on the other side. One is 721 meters away from us at 3 o 'clock, and the other is 632 meters away from us at 4 o' clock. Which one do you choose?"
"4 o 'clock," Ren Xiaosu said. There was no need for him to be pretentious when it came to firearms. Yang Xiaojin was better than him, so he chose the easier one!
The two of them said in unison, "Three, two, one …"
Then Luo Lan and the others, who were following behind them, suddenly saw the young man and woman in front of them get down on one knee at the same time. The moment they raised their hands, identical black sniper rifles appeared in front of them.
Ren Xiaosu's firearms proficiency came from Yang Xiaojin. Although he had broken through to Master Level on his own, his foundation was still Yang Xiaojin's.
Therefore, in the eyes of Luo Lan and the others, the two of them looked like they had been cast from the same mold. They had such a tacit understanding that they looked like they were each other's double images!
Even their breathing was at the same frequency.
Seeing this, Luo Lan subconsciously held his breath, afraid that he would disturb the two of them.
Then, gunfire erupted!
The sniper bullet spun out with a tremendous kinetic energy, shattering the barriers of time and space. The fallen leaves around the two of them were all blown into the air and pushed to the sides by the powerful blast from the sniper rifle.
Luo Lan swore he had never seen such a powerful sniper rifle before. How was this any different from a cannon?!
The moment before the shot was fired, it was extremely quiet. But the second after it was fired, it was extremely active.
Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin's expressions remained calm throughout. It was as though they had just done something very normal.
Luo Lan suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of their shots. Two clouds of blood exploded from the distant mountains.
This scene was filled with a strange beauty of power amidst the violence.
In another direction, Cheng Yu and the others stopped in their tracks. The gunfire from the distant mountains had stopped. Clearly, someone had taken care of the Pyro Company's snipers.
Who did it? Cheng Yu already had an answer.
Weren't there only five people who were not present? Among the five of them, there were at least two snipers cooperating with the snipers.
For some reason, Cheng Yu was very sure those two people had to be Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin.
Combined with the fact that the snipers had assisted White Mask earlier, Cheng Yu came to a sudden realization. So that couple was White Mask's assistants!
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin stood up at the same time. Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, "There are no more snipers left, but the Pyro Company should be sending more troops this time. Luo Lan, if you were in command, what would you do?"
"Hehe." Luo Lan replied with a smile, "If it were just me, I would've run away a long time ago. But since you're here, I'd like to give it a try."
