Ren Xiaosu felt it was a pity. If not for the fact that "Old Xu", Shadow Door, and the steam locomotive were still sealed, he would have definitely intercepted and killed Black Robe here today.
He did not continue chasing after Black Robe because his speed was far inferior to his opponent's while "Old Xu" was sealed. To Ren Xiaosu's surprise, Black Robe's physical fitness was actually above that of a T5 combatant.
Yang Xiaojin's voice came through the mini communication earpiece. "Are you alright?"
After the battle in the Sacred Mountains, Ren Xiaosu had used himself as bait to kill the T5 combatant. Then, when he left the Sacred Mountains, he immediately purchased several sets of mini communication equipment for the two of them to use in battle.
Although the two of them had a tacit understanding, wouldn't they be even more tacit with the communication earpieces?
The two of them were now working very well together. One was acting as bait while the other sniped. If no one was acting as bait, it would take them a long time just to find their prey.
"I'm fine." Ren Xiaosu glanced at the wound on his chest. The other party's nails had sunk about a centimeter deep into his flesh. If anyone else had suffered this injury, they would definitely be scared out of their wits. But for him, it was just a superficial wound.
The black medicine was specialized in treating superficial wounds. As for the other function of the black medicine, he had no use for it either.
In the earpiece, Yang Xiaojin said, "You're injured. Wait for me here."
With that, she joined up with Ren Xiaosu.
When Ren Xiaosu heard the worry in her tone, he did not know whether to laugh or cry as he explained, "I'm really fine."
"Just wait here even if you're fine," Yang Xiaojin said firmly.
Alright, I'll wait then.
After a while, Yang Xiaojin came out of the forest in a camouflage made of willow branches.
After the two of them split up, Ren Xiaosu chased them all the way into the mountains while Yang Xiaojin quickly disguised herself and found the best shooting position.
As for how to lure the enemy to a suitable battlefield, it was not difficult for Ren Xiaosu as bait.
Yang Xiaojin said, "Scissors."
Ren Xiaosu took a pair of scissors from the palace and handed it to her. Yang Xiaojin carefully cut open the clothes on his chest and said, "Black medicine."
As Ren Xiaosu allowed the other party to focus on treating the wound, he teased, "Although you didn't manage to kill this Experimental, he's already turned black after being hit by your black bullet. I wonder if his subordinates will despise him?"
"You're still in the mood to talk about this?" Yang Xiaojin grumbled. "You're too bold this time. If the wound was a little deeper, it might have interfered with your arteries and nerves."
"What's there to be afraid of? Don't I have you here? Besides, I know that he can't kill me." Ren Xiaosu explained, "But if we don't get rid of these Experimentals, more innocent people might die tragically in the future. Do you see? Some of these new Experimentals were transformed from barbarians, while others were transformed from normal people."
"I saw it. Maybe it captured the barbarians' subordinates?" Yang Xiaojin asked, "How strong are they exactly?"
"The Experimentals transformed from barbarians are obviously more powerful." Ren Xiaosu sighed and said, "Even I can't take on more than a dozen of them at the same time. I can only carefully suppress them with my speed. Fortunately, their combat techniques are relatively simple. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to deal with them. "
When Yang Xiaojin heard this, she got up and took out the pistol she carried with her. She fired a shot at one of the barbarian Experimentals, but the bullet did not even get lodged in its skin!
She frowned. "If it weren't for the sharpness of your black saber, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been able to suppress them with your speed. With such tough skin, it'd be a disaster for normal soldiers if they encountered them."
Ren Xiaosu started to worry. "Our Central Plains has some experience in dealing with Experimentals. If those powerful barbarians get turned into Experimentals, it'll probably be a real disaster when it makes a comeback."
"Besides, I think it might've played a very important role in this war." Ren Xiaosu analyzed, "Think about it. We encountered more than a dozen Experimentals transformed from barbarians just now. We all know very well that the conversion rate is very low. Back when it wreaked havoc in several strongholds in the Southwest, the number of Experimentals was only close to 10,000. If it were to wreak havoc on that many barbarians, how could it not be discovered? Besides, what's with the Experimentals transformed from normal people? Only Stronghold 176 has fallen in the North. That place is filled with barbarians, so how could they allow it to capture people to experiment on them? I think it's probably already formed a partnership with that expeditionary army. It might even be the one who instigated the barbarians to attack the South this time. Speaking of which, why did the barbarians evolve as a group instead of becoming stronger individually like the Central Plains people? "
"Perhaps it's too cold in the North. I'm not sure why, but it could also be due to the different genes …." Yang Xiaojin nodded. "But it'll be very easy to identify this Experimental when we see it in the future. Even if there are many Experimentals mixed together, we'll still be able to find it. After all, the others are all gray, but it's black …."
This way, they might have a chance to kill it from afar in the future.
"How should we tell the Pyro Company about this?" Ren Xiaosu wondered, "Let's leave a note and tell them the location. They'll understand a lot of things when they see the Experimentals' corpses."
"Mhm, let's also write about Black Robe on the note." Yang Xiaojin nodded. "Alright, I've treated your wounds. I'll carry you back."
"There's no need, there's no need." Ren Xiaosu quickly smiled and said, "Why would I need you to carry me back with such minor injuries?"
Yang Xiaojin sighed and said, "You're not even as enlightened as Liang Ce. Don't laugh at him in the future …."
Ren Xiaosu was speechless.
When the two of them returned to the forward operating base, the battle there was still not over yet. Ren Xiaosu took a look from afar and realized some barbarians had taken over a building and even captured a few people to hide inside.
This place was still several hundred meters away from the earliest battlefield, which meant the barbarians had managed to break out of the encirclement once during the battle. It had to be said that the barbarians were still very strong in close combat, and their willpower was also very tenacious.
Ren Xiaosu could not help but sigh. These barbarians were too cunning. They even knew how to capture hostages like bandits.
Unfortunately, the barbarians had miscalculated. Taking hostages did not exist for the Pyro Company at all. Ren Xiaosu saw from afar that the Pyro Company's troops had no intention of rescuing the hostages at all. No one went to negotiate with the barbarians either. Instead, they pushed over a cannon and from the looks of it, they were going to raze the building to the ground.
When these people were making decisions and sacrifices, be it themselves or others, they were really good at it.
Suddenly, Yang Xiaojin said, "You've thought about sending P5092 to the Northwest of Daxing, right?"
Ren Xiaosu nodded. "I've thought about it before, but I keep getting the feeling that he doesn't fit in with the Northwest."
"No, I think he's quite suitable," Yang Xiaojin said.
