Chapter 745 One punch
If he had not experienced it personally, Cheng Yu would have misunderstood the bat strength of a T5 batant. This was because he had seen with his own eyes how “Old Xu” had crushed that T5 batant back then. He did not know if everything had coincidentally gone right in that encounter for Old Xu as he only saw the oute of the clash.
But once they actually encountered a T5 batant, they realized the T5 batants were beings that could crush them in a head-on battle. If Wang Yun had not risked his life and used his power to fight to the death with that T5 batant, they would probably all be dead by now.
As a matter of fact, Cheng Yu was very impressed by Wang Yun’s fearlessness at that critical moment.
Wang Yun was someone with brains, courage, bravery, and means. Cheng Yu suddenly felt it was a pity for him to stay in the Kong Consortium.
In the early years, the three major consortiums of the Central Plains were still on par with one another. But in the past few years, the Kong Consortium had constantly been led by the nose by the Wang Consortium. Based on the actions of the consortiums over the years, there was always that feeling that Wang Shengzhi’s strategy was superior.
Cheng Yu asked, “Actually, Wang Yun, everyone can tell that those people from the Kong Consortium are quite petty. Have you ever thought of going somewhere else?” Wang Yun laid on the back of his subordinate, getting piggybacked. He said weakly, “Don’t you worry about me. Rather, think about yourselves. All of you have been treated as cannon fodder by the Anjing House this time.”
“How did I end up being cannon fodder all of a sudden?” Cheng Yu said anxiously, “We came to the Sacred Mountains with a plan. Why are you making it sound like we were being sent to our deaths?”
“Then let me ask you: Did anyone tell you how to retreat?” Wang Yun sneered.
Cheng Yu was stunned. “Once everyone makes it into the Sacred Mountains and the Pyro pany has fallen, couldn’t we retreat however we wanted?”
“The Pyro pany? Fall? With just us?” When Wang Yun laughed, his wound stretched, and he started to cough violently.
Wang Yun’s subordinate quickly said, “Sir, please don’t speak for now.”
“It’s fine. That young man’s medicine is truly magical.” Wang Yun said, “With this medicine, I won’t die.”
Cheng Yu stopped talking. Actually, Wang Yun was right. His boss had really not told them about the exfiltration plan, and neither did he know where she was.
Was he just cannon fodder? All of this was just so she could trap all these people from the other organizations and leave them for dead in the Sacred Mountains?
Cheng Yu could not be sure of that.
At this moment, many others were still facing the pursuit of the Pyro pany. A lot of them had already been brutally crushed by the T5 batants.
It went alright for the supernatural beings among them. Some of them even managed to work together to keep their T5-ranked opponents in check and send them into a temporary retreat. Some others were able to finish off a T5 batant just like Wang Yun did.
But if a normal person encountered a T5 batant, they really stood no chance of surviving.
Everyone had e into the Sacred Mountains together. Regardless of whether they encountered any danger at the beginning, today’s battle marked the true beginning of the expedition.
Luo Lan had found his way to a small hillside. Occasionally, he could hear a sniper rifle cracking in the distance.
Luo Lan knew Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin were engaged in battle. He sighed and said, “Whoever encounters those two are in for a headache. Even a large group of people can’t kill as quickly as them.”
The martyred spirits next to Luo Lan were digging trenches and setting up dugouts. All of them were building up defensive fortifications very quickly.
One of the martyred spirits said with a smile, “Boss, we became stronger after our deaths, so our work rate has also gotten more efficient.” Luo Lan looked at them. “Which one of you will be the machine gunner?”
“I’ll do it.” The platoon mander stepped forward. “Boss, just wait behind the fortifications and watch. The Pyro pany members have no chance of breaking through this MG nest.”
“Alright, that’s all I needed to hear,” Luo Lan said with a sigh of relief.
Off to the side, the Great Hoodwinker asked, “Do you need my help?”.
“No,” the platoon mander said and smiled.
Luo Lan explained, “These are the elites of our Qing Consortium’s military. 12 people occupying the high ground can be considered a full platoon. It’s just a pity that this era isn’t really fair to them.”
These soldiers had been training day and night to improve their bat skills. But ever since the era of the “Rise of Gods,” their abilities that were exchanged with sweat and blood could easily get outdone by supernatural beings at any moment.
This made Luo Lan feel a sense of unfairness, even though he had also bee a supernatural being.
As they spoke, some of the Pyro pany’s troops entered the battlefield. However, the martyred spirits did not immediately open fire on them. Instead, they waited.
What they needed to do now was not to force the Pyro pany into a retreat but to wipe them all out!
“Platoon mander, we can still let them advance another 120 meters,” a martyred spirit said.
“It’s alright, let them get a little closer.” The platoon mander calculated the distance and said, “We’ve also dealt with these Pyro pany members before. Their physical fitness is far superior than that of ordinary people’s. If we fire at them while they’re still far away, I’m afraid they might end up fleeing instead.”
Behind the fortifications, the Great Hoodwinker curled his lips. “Y’know, your Qing Consortium is really full of ruthless people. They’re already hellbent on wiping out several hundred enemies with just the 12 of them?”
“e to think of it, what exactly is your superpower?” Luo Lan looked at the Great Hoodwinker curiously. “Our Qing Consortium has been watching you for a long time now, so why haven’t we seen you use your superpower before? Could you be just a normal person?”
The Great Hoodwinker chuckled. “You’ll find out when the T5 batants show up.”
While they were speaking, the Pyro pany’s troops finally got into range of the martyred spirits’ machine gun nest. Then the two machine guns started firing on the enemy like a meat grinder.
The Pyro pany members could never have expected someone would venture to set up a defensive position here and ambush them instead! Moreover, their intelligence report did not mention there were any heavy machine gun nests here!
It was just like how the intelligence report had not mentioned there were snipers in this team. The two heavy machine guns would not have been not easy to hide from sight. As long as they were brought here, they would be easily discovered.
But somehow, the weapons had appeared out of thin air. If they knew there were heavy machine guns, they would definitely not have been so careless as to walk within range of the enemy!
The Pyro pany’s troops fell in droves, but there was still one person who was traversing the wilderness like a ghost and closing in on the group Zhou Qi looked at the Great Hoodwinker. “Alright, get up now. A T5 batant has arrived.”
The T5 batant was getting closer and closer to the machine gun nest. The enemy did not seem to care about the heavy machine guns at all. No matter how the soldiers adjusted the angle of their machine guns, they were unable to hit him.
Just as the T5 batant was about to charge into the defensive position, the Great Hoodwinker stood up and patted off his buttocks. “The reason why y’all haven’t seen my superpower is because I don’t really have any special superpower. All I have is brute force.”
After that, the Great Hoodwinker stepped out of the defensive position in his tattered cloth shoes to face the oning beast that was dashing in madly.
Luo Lan looked at the Great Hoodwinker in confusion and wondered if he was going to fucking sacrifice himself here.
But then, he saw the Great Hoodwinker’s forearm after he rolled up his sleeves. It was bulging with muscles. It was as though he had suddenly turned from a fortune teller to a bodybuilder. Luo Lan could not get used to the disparity in his appearance.
The T5 batant and the Great Hoodwinker collided in midair. The T5 batant, who had always been known for physical fitness, was actually forced back by the Great Hoodwinker’s punch!
