Chapter 956: Killing resolve

No one noticed when White Mask had hidden in the mountain. Earlier, everyone was wondering why Ren Xiaosu went to the sniper’s nest when he had always been fighting at the front line during their battles.

In the previous few days of battles, Ren Xiaosu was like a firefighter who fought wherever the pressure was. And indeed, he had not at all used his sniper rifle during this time.

Everyone was still a little unused to his sudden use of the sniper rifle today. However, they did not ask him about it and just assumed he had adjusted the way he fought.

In fact, the two snipers’ suppressive fire was indeed very strong, so everyone felt that Ren Xiaosu’s tactical adjustment was very successful.

What they did not know was that the most successful factor in Ren Xiaosu’s strategy was handing Yang Xiaojin his black sniper rifle. This allowed her to achieve unlimited firepower.

Right now, Yang Xiaojin found Ren Xiaosu’s black sniper rifle to be extremely useful. She did not have to worry about depleting her mental strength at all. Being able to do so was simply too enjoyable.

Someone below the sniper’s nest cautioned her to watch out overhead. However, Yang Xiaojin did not even look and just continued to pour suppressive fire on the enemies below.

Ren Xiaosu had already given her the heads-up that someone was coming to ambush them, and that “Old Xu” was already lying in wait somewhere. Any enemies that showed up here would die.

The reason Ren Xiaosu came over in the first place was because Xun Yeyu had found him and said he had detected 32 powerful lifeforms appearing behind the mountain where the sniper’s nest was located.

Xun Yeyu did not know what these 32 lifeforms were. In any case, they would definitely have to be the enemy. Who else would come here for no good reason?

Xun Yeyu, the mobile human radar, was truly useful on the battlefield. It wasn’t until this moment that Ren Xiaosu finally admitted that Xun Yeyu was the seventh powerhouse of the 6th Combat Brigade.

The alliance of seven powerhouses was finally formed.

Just a moment ago, Xun Yeyu was still sitting in a chair in the command post, eating and drinking. Xun Yeyu was talking about the barbarians’ movements while Wang Yun noted down every detail being said before recreating a concrete picture of the situation on the sand table.

With Xun Yeyu’s support in combat command, P5092 knew the barbarians’ movements like the back of his hand.

The only drawback was that this fair-skinned chubster had been too lazy in the past. His mental strength was too weak, so he had to rest for some time after each “scan,” and this led to their reconnaissance being carried out intermittently.

White Mask was scaling the cliff. Eventually, everyone could make out that those gray creatures were actually the Experimentals, and there were 32 of them!

P5092 was stunned. He had heard from Ren Xiaosu that Experimentals had appeared in the vicinity of the expeditionary army. But now that he saw it with his own eyes, he still found it a little unbelievable. In everyone’s opinion, the Experimentals should have ceased to be.

The Experimentals swooped down, moving with extreme agility on the rocks like they were some huge and strange gray bugs.

Meanwhile, White Mask charged upwards like an extremely sharp saber.

At the defensive position, Ren Xiaosu shouted to Ji Zi’ang, “Lend me your support!”

As he spoke, Ji Zi’ang stretched his hand out towards the mountain. With every leap White Mask took on the mountain, a flat rock would appear under its feet for support.

It was precisely because of Ji Zi’ang’s cooperation that Old Xu was able to move so agilely on the mountain.

In addition, an Experimental that was swooping down at Old Xu found its next landing point suddenly turning to sand as the hard surface turned to a fine powder under the Experimental’s hand. All of the momentum the Experimental had built up while charging down was lost.

This Experimental suddenly lost its balance and wobbled unsteadily towards Old Xu.

A second later, Old Xu leaped up with its black saber raised horizontally. It went past the Experimental that had lost its balance and sliced it in half at the waist.

In that split second, Old Xu did not stop moving and was heading straight for the next Experimental.

Ren Xiaosu watched this quietly. Yang Xiaojin had given him her absolute trust. Even with 32 Experimentals attacking from above, Yang Xiaojin did not stop shooting. If it were anyone else, they would probably have run away.

Ren Xiaosu also made his move. A flat stone step materialized under his feet as the young man fought his way up the mountain rocks.

The violent Old Xu and Ren Xiaosu, the calm Yang Xiaojin, the battle atop the mountain, and the fearless sniper holed up in the mountainside. This was a perfect picture of stillness and action, and it captured the full aesthetic of battle all in one scene.

As Ji Zi’ang constantly altered the terrain, he was shocked by this sight. At some point, he felt that the man and woman in front of him were meant to be together. If it were anyone else in the world, they wouldn’t cut such a pleasing picture.

A couple like them would be the nightmare of any enemy.

As the Experimentals’ corpses dropped without stop, P5092 walked over to check on them. He confirmed that they were indeed Experimentals.

With their gray skin and sharp claws, these creatures could no longer be called humans.

Then if Ren Xiaosu’s guess was right, that intelligent being among the Experimentals had escaped from the nuclear explosion at Stronghold 74, and it even went to the North to join forces with the expeditionary army.

In that instant, P5092 thought of many things. He even suspected that the expeditionary army’s sudden attack on the South was also suggested by that Experimental.

If that were really the case, they would have to find an opportunity to kill it in this war. Otherwise, that disgusting thing would keep causing trouble for the Central Plains.

While P5092 was thinking, Ren Xiaosu and Old Xu had joined forces and killed the last invading Experimental at the top of the mountain.

But the moment Ren Xiaosu reached the top, he suddenly saw a black-robed figure quietly sizing him up from the mountain across from him.

Next to Black Robe, dozens of barbaric Experimentals could be seen crawling around on the ground and roaring. They were getting restless.

However, Black Robe did not send them over to fight. That was because it knew exactly what kind of strength the young man at the opposite peak possessed. Moreover, although the two mountain peaks might look very close, there was actually a huge gap between them.

Black Robe gave a hoarse laugh. It did not matter. Soon, it would possess an army of Experimentals. At that time, the entire world would belong to it.

But Black Robe suddenly saw the young man opposite him raise his hand and run his finger across his neck in a throat-slitting gesture before turning around and disappearing from the mountaintop.

For some reason, a chill ran down Black Robe’s spine. It could feel Ren Xiaosu’s killing resolve. Logically, the young man and the Central Plains people at the defensive position were in a precarious situation. It was clear they would run out of ammo after the expeditionary army attacked for another few hours. At that time, the Central Plains people would die to the expeditionary army’s steel axes, and the young man was no exception.

But even so, Black Robe still felt an inexplicable fear. It was as though that young man was really going to kill it.

Black Robe patted Valentin, who was crawling on the ground next to him, and said, “Lead the rest into the mountains and hide. Once the defensive position falls, I want you to seal off all of his escape routes and then kill him.”
