In the consortium's fighting forces, a full platoon of 30 people was formed. When they encountered danger, they would be able to cover the entire area with their firepower. This was also the reason why the wild animals could only flee in panic when faced with them.
However, such a powerful platoon did not hesitate to request for reinforcements when faced with the so-called "Experimentals." This showed that they did not have the confidence to defeat the other party on their own!
Liu Bu and Luo Xinyu were kneeling on the ground. They could only hear the sound of gunfire bursting out around them. A soldier held his rifle horizontally to his side and neatly tied up Liu Bu and Luo Xinyu's thumbs with a piece of plastic. It was so tight that it hurt.
Moreover, the soldier finished searching Liu Bu's body in just two seconds to ensure that the man and woman in front of him were no longer a threat.
The soldier did not ask any questions. He just left them behind and returned to his platoon to participate in the battle.
Meanwhile, the other soldiers ignored Liu Bu. It was as though he did not exist. Each of them had their own duties and were like gears in a precise machine. Every step they took was steady and precise.
However, someone muttered, "What's that plastic doll he's carrying?"
Someone shouted on the radio, "The Experimentals are fleeing in the direction of 9 o 'clock. Troops in that direction, take note. The Experimentals are fleeing in the direction of 9 o' clock!"
It seemed like the Experimentals did not want to go head-on against the platoons with powerful firepower and had chosen to avoid them for the time being.
At this moment, Liu Bu felt that the consortium's combat strength was like heaven and earth when compared to the private troops'.
Looking at it this way, the private troops were like a pig farm for the consortium!
Liu Bu had been worried that he would be killed by the consortium. After all, Ren Xiaosu, Yang Xiaojin, and the others had described the consortium as demons.
But from the looks of it, that was not the case. The consortium had only tied him and Luo Xinyu up and did not do anything to them.
With that, Liu Bu felt a little more at ease. At least he would not have to die, right?
But a moment later, Liu Bu heard a scream from the platoon in front of him. It sounded like they had suffered casualties!
…
Ren Xiaosu hid in the shadows of the forest, and the shrubs covered him completely. A centipede quickly crawled towards him, but Ren Xiaosu used his dagger to directly nail it into the soil. At this moment, Ren Xiaosu had already changed into Sun Junzheng's private army combat uniform. It was not that he was so poor that he would wear a dead man's clothes. It was just that the camouflage uniform made it easier for him to hide in the forest.
Soon, the sound of footsteps appeared in front of him. He hadn't gone far just now, so he heard the voices of the consortium's combat forces calling for their teammates for support.
From Ren Xiaosu's point of view, this was probably the best chance to break through the encirclement of the consortiums. If reinforcements were needed here, the area where the consortiums were pushing forward would slowly condense into a firing point, and there would be an opening in the encirclement!
When he and Xu Xianchu left separately, they didn't agree on where to meet up. When they arrived here, everyone tacitly chose to act alone. Everyone believed that their individual abilities had surpassed the strength of a team.
But this alone was not enough for them to act alone. The main thing was that they couldn't trust each other.
When Yang Xiaojin was still around, everyone had their reservations. The three of them restrained each other and formed a temporary stable group. But now that Yang Xiaojin had suddenly disappeared, this group immediately fell apart.
Ren Xiaosu held his breath as he waited for the incoming platoon to pass by. The Kyung Clan Consortium's intel was clearly more solid than Xu Xianchu's. They even knew what that chain-dragging monster was.
An Experimental? There were still people conducting experiments deep in the mountains?
Ren Xiaosu had his doubts, but he did not dwell on this matter for too long. After waiting for the reinforcements to pass by, he quickly advanced toward the hinterlands of the Jing Mountains at an astonishing speed.
During this time, Ren Xiaosu almost encountered another two platoons that came to reinforce him. Fortunately, he managed to dodge in time.
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu was a little puzzled. Could it be that so many people couldn't kill a monster? Or could it be that … the monster was too powerful?!
He couldn't care less. He had to break through the inner perimeter first. Whether it was to escape from the Jing Mountains or to explore the secrets of the Jing Mountains, this was Ren Xiaosu's best chance.
Ren Xiaosu shuttled through the forest at lightning speed. It was as though the knotted roots and potholes in the ground were no obstacles to his advancement. His speed in the forest never slowed down because of these obstacles.
Gradually, Ren Xiaosu could hear the sound of large machinery up ahead. It sounded like a huge construction site was being excavated up ahead.
There was a hillside in front of him. When Ren Xiaosu quietly climbed up to look at the other side of the hillside, he was stunned. To be honest, he did not expect there to be such a lively place in the hinterlands of the Jing Mountains.
About 500 meters behind the hillside, more than a dozen excavators were excavating the ground. When Ren Xiaosu saw them, what attracted his attention was not the dozen or so excavators, but the magnificent … city behind the hillside!
The city had been reduced to ruins. The dozen or so excavators were digging near a pothole. It looked like this pothole had just been dug out by the Kyung Clan Consortium using cones and explosives. They seemed to be searching for something.
Actually, the city in front of him could not be considered complete. In fact, it was very far from complete. However, the city came to an abrupt end as it was buried underground by the mountains and soil.
The rugged Pre-Cataclysm city was like a huge labyrinth, a dilapidated labyrinth.
But just by looking at this corner, Ren Xiaosu could imagine how glorious this city used to be!
He saw a relatively well-preserved iron signboard on a building with the words "Xiaolongkan" written on it.
Ren Xiaosu was a little puzzled. What was the name "Xiaolongkan"? Did it mean that a carp would turn into a dragon after jumping over a threshold? What a mysterious place.
But before Ren Xiaosu could figure it out, the signboard was smashed to pieces by the excavators. Too much time had passed, and everything was decaying.
For some reason, Ren Xiaosu yearned for this place very much. Tectonic movements had once buried many Pre-Cataclysm civilizations deep underground. This was also the reason for the formation of volcanoes in the Jing Mountains.
However, there was still a huge city left here. Although the buildings were all in ruins, the main structure was still there!
When Ren Xiaosu looked down from the hillside, he saw that some places a few kilometers away had been excavated. However, they stopped after excavating a portion of the area.
It felt like … the other party was searching for something. Once they realized that the underground was not what they were looking for, they would immediately stop to reconfirm their location.
Ren Xiaosu realized that the thing the Kyung Clan Consortium was looking for must be very important to them. Moreover, they knew what they were looking for!
At this time, Ren Xiaosu also saw a place heavily guarded by soldiers in the distance. There were some containers stacked there, and soldiers were injecting some unconscious beasts with drugs. Then, they carried them into the containers one by one.
Were these the beasts captured by the Kyung Clan Consortium? These evolved beasts probably couldn't escape the fate of being studied.
"Should I leave?" Ren Xiaosu thought that he probably wouldn't have a chance to get close to the "target" the Kyung Clan Consortium was looking for.
After all, he had seen the Kyung Clan Consortium's combat power. It was impossible to snatch the "secret" from them.
At this time, Ren Xiaosu suddenly saw a young man in a white suit standing on the rooftop of a building, overlooking the city.
In the wilderness, the spotless white suit was amazing.
It was like a clash of violence and civilization. It was unforgettable.
