The intense gunfire in front of the forest gradually stopped. It seemed like the Kyung Clan had finished clearing out the outer perimeter and driven away all the wild beasts that might pose a threat.
Xu Xianchu whispered to Ren Xiaosu, "The Kyung Clan should be setting up their hidden sentries at this time. They might not have enough manpower. Even if they send a few hundred people, they won't be able to seal off such a large security perimeter."
"How many people does the Kyung Clan Consortium have in a combat brigade?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
Xu Xianchu hesitated for a moment. "Around 4,000 to 5,000 people, but they can't possibly turn out in full force. After all, they still have to consider the stability of the strongholds."
"That's not right." Ren Xiaosu shook his head. "I don't think there's a big problem at the stronghold. How can a stronghold rebel in just a few days? That's impossible, right? That's why we have to be prepared for them to turn out in full force. They have at least a thousand people. "
"Alright then." Xu Xianchu actually understood this as well. He was just hoping for a fluke. He thought about it seriously and said, "But they won't turn out in full force either. The supplies in the various strongholds aren't enough to support thousands of people coming deep into the Jing Mountains for so long. It's not that they don't have enough supplies, but that they still have to consider transportation, logistics, manpower, and so on. Their soldiers are carrying a large number of firearms and explosives, so after considering all these factors, they'll only send about a thousand people into the mountains for the first time."
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment. Xu Xianchu was probably more professional when it came to the military's operational mechanisms. He said, "I trust your judgment, but I still stand by my words. If their hidden sentries seal off the area too tightly, I'll definitely take a detour and come out of the mountains from Stronghold 112 without any hesitation."
"Alright." Xu Xianchu nodded. He knew Ren Xiaosu's decision was right. After all, if he, Ren Xiaosu, and Yang Xiaojin were to face the pursuit of over a thousand people, they would definitely die a horrible death. Xu Xianchu had a determined look on his face. "If we need to engage in guerrilla warfare later, we'll have to abandon the other three. They won't be able to keep up with the three of us … Wait!"
At this point, Xu Xianchu was stunned. He looked around and asked, "Where's Yang Xiaojin?"
Ren Xiaosu was also stunned. He looked around the forest and then asked Liu Bu and the others, who were at the back of the group, "Have you guys seen Yang Xiaojin yet?"
"I didn't notice," Liu Bu answered blankly.
At this time, everyone realized that Yang Xiaojin had disappeared without them noticing!
If it were Liu Bu who went missing, Ren Xiaosu would think that he might have been snatched away by something. But if it were Yang Xiaojin, that would definitely not be the case!
Ren Xiaosu and Xu Xianchu had initially thought that Liu Bu and the other two were their burdens. But now, they suddenly had a feeling that Yang Xiaojin felt that all five of them were burdens.
But what was Yang Xiaojin's purpose in coming here? At this moment, Ren Xiaosu realized that Yang Xiaojin's goal might not be the secret of the Jing Mountains!
Yang Xiaojin herself had an even bigger secret!
Ren Xiaosu and Xu Xianchu looked at each other as though they had made a decision at the same time.
"Well," Ren Xiaosu said righteously, "Yang Xiaojin might have fallen behind. As teammates, we have to split up and look for her. Otherwise, it'll be too dangerous for her to go alone."
With that, Ren Xiaosu and Xu Xianchu split up and headed in different directions. Liu Bu and the other two looked back the way they came. They could not understand why Yang Xiaojin had disappeared without a trace. Liu Bu asked, "Don't you guys find that Yang Xiaojin is very strange? She paid to join the group, but it's obvious that she has her own motives …"
At this moment, Liu Bu turned around and looked in the direction of Ren Xiaosu and Xu Xianchu. As a result … Ren Xiaosu and Xu Xianchu had also disappeared!
What the fuck!
What did he mean by splitting up and looking for her? She was clearly running away!
When they were closest to the hinterlands of the Jing Mountains, Ren Xiaosu, Xu Xianchu, and Yang Xiaojin all made the decision to abandon their burdens.
After all, they knew that the Kyung Clan Consortium's combat troops were very powerful. If they wanted to sneak in or take a detour to leave, they could not bring Liu Bu and the other two along.
In any case, they were not related to them and did not owe them any favors, so abandoning them was not a problem at all.
However, Ren Xiaosu also found it a pity. For the past few days, he had been constantly thinking of ways to get these people to thank him. In the end, he only managed to earn 93 gratitude tokens after much difficulty. Now that he was on his own, it would be difficult for him to earn more gratitude tokens.
Liu Bu and the other two immediately panicked. They had wanted to seek refuge with the Kyung Clan Consortium, but they later realized that the Kyung Clan Consortium might silence them. Then they thought it would be a good idea to leave with Ren Xiaosu and the other two. But in the end, Ren Xiaosu and the other two all ran away together!
But while they were in a daze, Liu Bu, Luo Xinyu, and the others suddenly heard the sound of chains dragging on the ground along the way!
The three of them felt their scalps go numb. Didn't they say that the monster would not come out during the day? Why was it always following behind the group?!
Thinking of Xu Xia's broken body and the wild beasts that had escaped from the forest last night, Liu Bu even recalled the sound of the monster's saliva dripping onto the leaves last night.
The next moment, Liu Bu suddenly turned around and ran. He did not care whether the Kyung Clan Consortium would silence them or not. He just did not want to die!
When Liu Bu started running, the other two followed suit. But Liu Bu suddenly realized that he was not as fast as Wng Lei and Luo Xinyu.
Although Wng Lei had been injured before, the miraculous thing about the black medicine was that he had fully recovered in just over two days. He was very afraid of the mysterious monster behind him. But the moment he overtook Liu Bu, Wng Lei suddenly saw Liu Bu stretch out his foot to trip him!
Wng Lei fell heavily to the ground with a thud. Liu Bu thought to himself, "Sorry, someone has to be sacrificed if I want the others to live!"
Liu Bu ran for his life. But before he could get far, he heard Wng Lei's screams and the horrifying sound of something being torn apart!
Wng Lei's screams sounded like they were about to turn into a ferocious ghost and tear Liu Bu apart. But they did not last long before they came to an abrupt stop.
The sound of chains clanking rang out again. The monster had caught up to them again!
Liu Bu was in despair. He wanted to drag Luo Xinyu down with him again, but he realized that she had already distanced herself from him.
"Who's there?" someone in the forest up ahead said. Liu Bu looked over and was surprised to see that the person was wearing a pure black combat uniform and holding a gun.
Liu Bu shouted, "Monster! There's a monster behind me! "
He saw the consortium's combat personnel make a few tactical gestures, and more than 20 combat personnel slowly approached Liu Bu from behind the trees. This was a complete platoon!
The person in the lead said, "Kneel on the ground and put your hands behind your head!"
Liu Bu immediately knelt on the ground. He knew that if he did not comply, these combat personnel would definitely shoot him dead. He could only leave his life in the hands of fate!
The sound of chains was getting closer and closer. When the owner of the chains came into view, the combat personnel suddenly shouted through the wireless communication device in their helmets, "We've discovered an escaped Experimental. Requesting reinforcements! Open fire! "
Gunshots rang out! It sounded like thunder!
