"Look at him, then look at us." Cheng Yu squatted down next to Vanilla and snapped, "Why didn't you tell the boss when we made the plan back then? Why did we have to come to this godforsaken place?"
In the Sacred Mountains, it was no longer an exaggeration to say that even birds did not poop there. There were really no birds here, not even a single one to be seen. Otherwise, Cheng Yu would not have had to perform the splits for a piece of hardtack!
Fortunately, they had already met up with Vanilla and the others. As a matter of fact, Vanilla's team members were all Anjing House hitmen, so they would be more united than the outsiders if they helped each other. Therefore, they did not have to worry about food.
However, as Cheng Yu was eating the hardtack, he saw that there were even people on Ren Xiaosu's side taking care of his daily needs. He nearly dropped the hardtack on the ground.
It was really infuriating to compare oneself to others!
But Vanilla handed him a water bottle and said calmly, "What's the point of comparing yourself to him? Look at the other side."
It was breakfast time at this moment. On the other side, Li Shentan was enjoying the treatment of an emperor while being served by more than a 100 Pyro Company members. He did not even have to wash his face by himself. There were even some Pyro Company members washing their clothes by the stream.
Vanilla was right. What's the point of comparing yourself to Ren Xiaosu? If you want to compare yourself to him, you should compare yourself to him.
Cheng Yu shrank his neck. "Who can compare to him? Controlling a few thousand people is like child's play to him. If I were him, I'd run off to a deserted place and abduct tens of thousands of people to become a local tyrant!"
"Someone secretly left the group last night." Vanilla said in a low voice, "When we met up last night, Cheng Yu, there were 27 people on your side, and 35 on my side. But look at us now, there's only 51 of us left."
"Run? Where else can they go? We've already come this far, so I definitely won't be satisfied if I don't go in and have a look at the Sacred Mountains. "Cheng Yu curled his lips and said," Do y 'all think it's true that we'll be able to find a way to achieve immortality from the No. 001 Experimental's genes once we obtain it? "
"I think it's true." Vanilla said, "Someone confirmed it with Lee Young-yoon of the Knight Organization. When Stronghold 74 was destroyed, the Experimentals mentioned something like that. And think about it, not to mention 001, even those failed experimental subjects have lived for more than 200 years. If the No. 001 Experimental Body appears, it's very likely that the length of human life will undergo an epoch-making change. "
"I hope he doesn't appear." Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "I don't want to experience any more changes. My current life is pretty good, and I don't want to live for so long either."
In fact, Cheng Yu represented the thoughts of the majority of people in this era. They were no longer looking forward to any great changes. It was good enough to live like this and develop slowly.
Living a long life is a good thing? Who knew what kind of tricks those consortiums would come up with?
"Let's not talk about this first," Vanilla continued, "11 people ran away in one night. I suspect that they aren't stragglers but belong to the same organization. In yesterday's battle, the Pyro Company suffered a huge blow. I don't even know how many of their T5-ranked combatants died. As a matter of fact, not all of the T5-ranked combatants are in the Sacred Mountains. They have to be scattered around the various strongholds to guard them. I'm afraid there aren't many T5-ranked combatants left in the Sacred Mountains. "
When Vanilla said this, his voice was not soft. He did not intend to hide it from anyone. Or rather, he was trying to stir up this topic and get everyone to join in the discussion.
When Ren Xiaosu, who was next to them, heard them talking about the T5-ranked combatants, he wondered if he should grieve a little more. After all, he had just experienced the pain of losing his son. His poor T5-ranked godson had just established a father-son relationship with him when he passed away. It was truly a pity.
Vanilla continued, "They didn't run away earlier or later. They only suddenly disappeared now that the Pyro Company's defenses are weak. I suspect they've already entered the core region first and seized the initiative."
Vanilla said this because he wanted everyone to hurry up and move. He didn't want to fall behind others and end up with nothing.
However, Li Shentan was not anxious at all. "If someone is rushing to their deaths, why go with them? Why don't you people take a good look at yourselves? Some of you have just eaten, while others haven't slept for two days. How are you going to compete with the others in your condition? Do you think the danger in the Sacred Mountains has been resolved? After the T5-ranked combatants are gone, there's still the T6-ranked combatants. "
Vanilla retorted, "Those 11 people aren't idiots either. Since they're making a move, it means they're confident."
Li Shentan waved it off. "There aren't that many smart people in this world. Most of them are actually overconfident, like you. Why do you even dare to refute me …."
Vanilla: "???"
But at this moment, Ren Xiaosu suddenly said, "Let's set off as soon as possible. There's no need to give the Pyro Company another chance to redeploy. Why don't we end this farce as soon as possible?"
"Alright! We'll set off right away! "Li Shentan stood up and got ready to set off.
Everyone in the campsite was stunned. They looked at Ren Xiaosu. This young man's words were actually so effective on Li Shentan?
How could the legendary Demon Whisperer be so obedient? Just who was this young man?!
Moreover, wasn't this young man being too arrogant? End this farce as soon as possible? He had to be strong enough to say such arrogant words.
But to them, these words sounded arrogant. To Ren Xiaosu and Li Shentan, it was just a statement in an affirmative tone. He would just say whatever he thought.
Perhaps Ren Xiaosu was not that confident at first, so he had mixed in with the group to fish in troubled waters.
But now that Li Shentan and his maidservant were here, even a few Sacred Mountains would not be enough for them to demolish.
…
They set off early in the morning. By noon, Ren Xiaosu could already see traces of human buildings in the distance. "Is that the Pyro Company's research base up ahead?"
He saw that the buildings were quite different from those Ren Xiaosu had encountered. The buildings in the stronghold had always been practical, so they were all squarish and rarely had any strange shapes.
But in this research base in front of him, Ren Xiaosu could not find any similar buildings. Some were spherical, while others were trapezoidal. Some of the buildings were even completely covered in glass.
For some reason, Ren Xiaosu even found the buildings in front of him to have a strange sense of beauty.
However, this research base should have been built a long time ago. Many of the buildings' exterior walls were peeling off, making them look extremely mottled and dilapidated.
Ren Xiaosu suddenly wondered, "The outside world always says there are all kinds of strange creatures in the Sacred Mountains. There's even a prehistoric pterosaur flying in the sky, making it seem like the Sacred Mountains are filled with monsters. But look, we haven't actually seen anything other than tarantulas along the way."
