Cheng Yu and the others also fell into deep thought. Everyone had gathered here from all over the periphery of the Sacred Mountains. If the Pyro Company had really hidden some prehistoric pterosaurs in the Sacred Mountains, they should have seen them long ago.
Ever since the Pyro Company started supporting Stronghold 74, many people began to wonder if the Pyro Company had really been demonized.
Those who thought about it even included the editor-in-chief of Hope Media, Jiang Xu.
"Look over there." Ren Xiaosu pointed to a spot outside the complex of buildings and said, "That's a piece of farmland. You can even see corn stalks that haven't been cut down. It looks like it's been abandoned for some time. The Pyro Company used to farm in the Sacred Mountains? No matter how I look at it, this doesn't seem like the Pyro Company's style. "
Everything in front of them was in stark contrast to the Pyro Company that Ren Xiaosu and the others had encountered.
What they encountered was a T5 combatant who went on a killing spree and was being demonized by the outside world. But now, with the artsy buildings here and the farmland outside, it looked like a paradise. It was just a little abandoned.
At this moment, Luo Lan, who was next to them, suddenly said, "As you all know, our Kyung Clan has always been at odds with the Pyro Company. That's why our research on the Pyro Company has never stopped. In fact, six years ago, the Pyro Company's external policies were not so radical. At that time, they mainly stole DNA samples. "
As he spoke, Luo Lan glanced at Li Shentan and said, "For example, the DNA theft incident at the psychiatric hospital in the Southwest. If it were today, it would be an open robbery. The way they do things is different. The Pyro Company combatants you encountered at that time were also different from today. They weren't as hostile. "
"Six years ago?" Some people were puzzled. According to Luo Lan, six years ago seemed to be a watershed. What happened to the Pyro Company at that time?
"Maybe there was a change of leadership." Luo Lan sighed and said, "I'm not sure about the specifics."
Ren Xiaosu looked at the farmlands and the group of buildings that exuded a strong artistic aura. It was as though all of this was slowly fading away with time.
Everyone started approaching the building complex. They could not see it clearly from afar, but when they got closer, they realized there were many corpses of Pyro Company combatants lying on the ground along the way. It looked like they had been dead for several hours.
The blood on the ground had already coagulated and dried into a dark purple color. Vanilla squatted down and pried open the dead man's eyelids. "The time of death is less than six hours."
Actually, this was a very simple way of judging. As a professional assassin, Vanilla naturally understood this.
After death, the cornea would gradually become cloudy, and after 36 hours or so, it would become so cloudy that even the pupils could not be seen clearly.
Therefore, judging the time of death based on the degree of cornea turbidity was a simple method without the help of any equipment.
"Vanilla is right. Those 11 people who broke away from the group have indeed entered the research base. Moreover, their methods are very strange. These people clearly did not struggle when they died, which means their sneak attacks were very good." Cheng Yu said, "You should know that the Pyro Company combatants here are at least T3-ranked combatants. They might even be T4-ranked combatants."
This time, it was the others who were getting anxious before Ren Xiaosu and the others. After all, they were here to snatch something. It was either the information or the No. 001 Experimental.
In any case, the Pyro Company's Sacred Mountains were like a treasure trove that many consortiums coveted.
Now that they realized someone had beaten them to it, they had no choice but to get anxious. They would not be able to answer to their superiors when they got back.
"Let's go in then." Li Shentan spread his hands. "It just so happens that we have someone to help us clear the way."
The group quickly entered the building complex. At first, everyone was still very vigilant. But gradually, everyone realized there were no survivors in the area they passed through.
All of the Pyro Company members were dead.
Several hundred T3-ranked and above garrison forces had been easily taken care of just like that.
Moreover, there were no gunshot wounds on the corpses of the Pyro Company combatants. It looked like most of them had been killed by cold weapons. Some of the Pyro Company soldiers did not even have the chance to remove the safety on their firearms.
There were also some Pyro Company combatants who died in a rather strange manner. There were no wounds, bruises, or blood clots under their skin. They had died inexplicably.
Corpses were strewn all over the ground, and blood had spread deep into the building complex. Everyone found it a little hard to imagine. "Where did these 11 people come from? How did they manage to kill their way through the entire defense system of the Pyro Company's research base?"
At the beginning, Vanilla was the same as Li Shentan. He did not believe these 11 people could cause much trouble.
The reason he kept saying they had to prevent anyone from getting ahead of them was actually because he wanted everyone to hurry up and get moving so he could continue carrying out his boss's plan.
But now, something unexpected had happened. These 11 people who broke away from the group were even stronger than they had imagined. They had actually broken through the Pyro Company's final defenses?
But which organization did these people belong to? No matter how Wang Yun thought about it, he felt something was amiss. These people … seemed to be very familiar with the Pyro Company's core research base.
After all, outsiders did not have the ability to infiltrate this place. Even the Kyung Clan could not do so.
After eliminating all possibilities, Wang Yun was stunned. Could they be from the Pyro Company?
Although he did not know how he came up with this answer, this was the only possibility left after eliminating all the other possibilities.
The group hurried over to the center of the building complex where the largest building stood like a DNA double helix. Among the strange buildings, it had always been the most eye-catching one.
But when they arrived at the bottom of the building, everyone was stunned.
They saw 11 corpses lying neatly under the building while a young man sat cross-legged next to them. He wore a golden circlet on his head and had his eyes closed.
The young man seemed to have entered a meditative state and turned a deaf ear to the arrival of Ren Xiaosu and the others.
Ren Xiaosu stared blankly at the young man and was momentarily speechless.
Li Shentan stood off to the side. Actually, he and Ren Xiaosu knew right from the start that they would definitely encounter another clone here.
Just as Yang Xiaojin had said, if the Pyro Company could only unlock the powers of a small number of supernatural beings' clones, they would definitely use their limited means to create infinite possibilities.
In this era of the rise of the gods, only two people's strength had been proven by the times, and that was Li Shentan and Chen Wudi.
Since the Pyro Company had DNA samples from both of them, it made no sense that they would only clone Li Shentan but not Chen Wudi.
And Chen Wudi did not disappoint the Pyro Company either. Those 11 people easily broke through the Pyro Company's final line of defense, but they were all killed by Chen Wudi in front of them.
There were not even any wounds on Chen Wudi's body, nor did he look like he was in a sorry state.
The eleven corpses were a ghastly sight to behold.
Chen Wudi did not open his eyes. "Everyone, your journey ends here. It's time for you to rest."
His voice was calm like an ancient well without the slightest fluctuation. Or rather, it was more like a god in heaven who had abandoned the emotions of mortals from the moment he was born.
