Chapter 813: Long-range raid!

In the dark of night, Ren Xiaosu watched from afar. When the Kong Consortium’s hidden lookout posts came into contact with those heavily armed black shadows, they were immediately wiped out. They could not inflict any significant casualties on those people.

Ren Xiaosu could not help but wonder where these hundreds of super soldiers had suddenly come from. Seeing their strong physical fitness and combat capabilities, it was not a power any organization could easily possess.

If it weren’t for the fact the attackers did not have silvery strands on their faces, Ren Xiaosu would have thought it was the Qing Consortium’s new nanosoldier regiment that had come to attack the Kong Consortium.

In his impression, only nanosoldiers could fight in a large-scale group battle like this.

No, Ren Xiaosu felt that he had forgotten to consider something. It was the Pyro Company!

He saw these hundreds of super soldiers freely traversing across the buildings. Even though they were met by suppressive fire, it did not stop them at all. In an instant, they broke through the hidden lookout posts’ ambush set up by the Kong Consortium. The people in black moved like a swarm of locusts on the rooftops, dense and terrifying.

However, it seemed these people did not expect to encounter a battle on the roofs either. At the beginning, the battle was a little rushed. But they quickly adjusted themselves.

At this moment, on a rooftop over 300 meters away from Ren Xiaosu, a T5 combatant said with a dark expression, “Did a spy appear within our ranks? Why’re there so many people intercepting us on the roofs in the middle of the night?”

“We can’t know, but there isn’t any logical explanation for it other than spies. The Kong Consortium has never placed lookout posts on the roofs before.” A T4-ranked commander shook his head and said, “It seems like they already knew that we’d be coming. What should we do now?”

The T5 combatant sneered, “So what if they know of our whereabouts in advance? Let’s switch to the backup plan and have our troops attack the stronghold first to create chaos. After the garrison troops have been deployed, we can directly attack Kong Erdong’s residence! Our forces have already launched their attack in Stronghold 32. According to the plan, it’ll only take eight hours for them to get here to Stronghold 31. We won’t have to consider retreating at all. Our troops will be here to back us up once we hold out for eight hours.”

“Roger that.” Several hundred T4 combatants assembled on the roof of a high-rise, looking exceptionally terrifying. A large number of the Kong Consortium’s garrison troops were converging on this location as the alarm had already sounded not far away.

But these Pyro Company troops who were here for the decapitation mission did not remain around for longer. They continued making their way north, hoping to create an opening there when their sister corps arrived.

When Ren Xiaosu saw them leaving, he turned around and ran back towards Nanxinzhuang West Road. His original plan was to send Wang Jing and the others away in six days before talking about how to rescue Wang Yun and assassinate Kong Erdong.

But with the sudden turn of events, even he was caught off guard.

Ren Xiaosu was not an indecisive person. In an instant, he immediately understood that the best chance to make the rescue and assassinate the target was tonight!

When he arrived at the entrance of the hardware shop at Nanxinzhuang West Road, he knocked lightly on the roller shutter door three times before knocking another two times harder. “The Prosperous… wait, I got the code wrong. Sorry, let’s start over. I want to buy a ladder. Do you have any in stock?”

Someone inside raised the roller shutter, and Ren Xiaosu bent forward and went in. When Wang Run saw that it was really Ren Xiaosu, he quickly walked up to him. “What exactly is going on outside?”

Ren Xiaosu explained, “I suspect that the Pyro Company has started the battle with the Kong Consortium in advance. I saw several hundred Pyro Company combatants on my way here, and they look like they’re probably all T4 combatants and above. Currently, they are heading north.”

“What’re they doing here?” Wang Run frowned and pondered it for a moment. “We didn’t receive any intelligence prior to this. How did the Pyro Company break through the Ningjin Mountains and get here?”

“Don’t ask what they’re here for. I suspect it must be to kill Kong Erdong.” Ren Xiaosu said worriedly, “Hurry up and give me all intel related to the Kong Consortium’s current intelligence director, as well as information about the secret prison and Stronghold 31’s prison.”

Wang Run was stunned. “Since they’re going to kill Kong Erdong, we should just follow them to see if they are successful. The information you’re asking for does not seem like it has anything to do with Kong Erdong.”

Ren Xiaosu said in a serious tone, “Look, how can a few hundred of them be able to accomplish anything by themselves when there’s a reinforced brigade currently stationed in Stronghold 31? No matter how powerful they might be, they still can’t defeat a brigade. If l release all the prisoners from the two prisons, wouldn’t it help them create chaos? I heard that the people in the secret prison are dangerous, and there’s several supernatural beings among them too. After being locked up for so long, they’ve gotta have hatred for the Kong Consortium, right? They’ll definitely take revenge.”

“That does seem to make sense.” Wang Yun was stunned. However, he wondered, “But is it necessary for us to step in and do that?”

“Yes, we definitely have to. This is called leveraging a situation, understand?!” Ren Xiaosu said.

Wang Run gave it some thought before turning around to say, “Give him the intelligence he wants.”

Afterwards, one of Wang Run’s men retrieved some information from a laptop. Ren Xiaosu stood in front of the computer and looked at it quietly. It wasn’t until he confirmed he had memorized the information that he turned around and opened the roller shutter door to leave.

Before leaving, Ren Xiaosu said, “All of you, go to the villa where Wang Jing and the others are staying. When it gets chaotic in the stronghold, many residents will start looting the malls. The more vicious ones will even rob the neighborhoods and steal all the valuable items they can get. The battle between the Pyro Company and the Kong Consortium will probably not affect them, but I’m worried that something will happen to Wang Jing and the others.”

Wang Run was taken aback. “You do not have the authority to give us orders.”

“Then will you take responsibility if we fail to assassinate Kong Erdong?” Ren Xiaosu said coldly. “Don’t worry, I’ll complete the mission.”

With that, Ren Xiaosu left the hardware shop.

Wang Run suddenly asked from behind, “Why didn’t you come and rendezvous with us yesterday? Did you forget about it?”

“Hahahahaha, listen to what you’re saying. How is that possible!” Ren Xiaosu then disappeared without a trace.

Only Wang Run and his men remained in the hardware shop. Wang Run mumbled, “Judging by his reaction, that guy actually forgot about us….”

After leaving, Ren Xiaosu did not head straight to the location identified in the intel provided by Wang Run. Instead, he went back to find Yang Xiaojin.

No matter how important the mission or the rescue, he would still have to join up with Yang Xiaojin first.

But before he could return to the villa, he already saw Yang Xiaojin waiting on a roof on the route he had to pass through. Ren Xiaosu asked in surprise, “Why are you here?”

“I knew you would go back for me, so I waited for you here to save you some time,” Yang Xiaojin explained.

For some reason, a strange, unspoken understanding had always existed between Ren Xiaosu and the girl in front of him.

Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, “I was still thinking about how to stir up trouble in the stronghold so that we wouldn’t get noticed. But in the end, the Pyro Company turned up to help us. Our plans will be carried out tonight.”

“What do you need me to do?” Yang Xiaojin asked.

“Fight alongside me.”
