The First Order Chapter 742

Chapter 742 - Double

Chapter 742 Double

Since they were setting out to look for Li Shentan’s friend, the atmosphere should naturally be a little more cheerful.

As such, Vanilla and the others followed Li Shentan expressionlessly as they listened to the Pyro Company members singing a nostalgic song in front of them. “Looking, looking, and looking for a friend, and then I found a very good friend…”

If the Pyro Company heard this singing, they would probably cry. Vanilla and the others fell silent as they listened to Pyro Company members perform this nursery rhyme.

Meanwhile, everyone at Ren Xiaosu’s side was looking at White Mask. They wanted to hear from White Mask what his decision was.

However, White Mask just remained silent. The more it was like this, the tenser the atmosphere in the campsite became.

Could it be that White Mask was unsure of what to do as well?

Or perhaps he was starting to think about retreating?

Everyone was coming up with all sorts of possibilities.

But actually, the reason why White Mask did not say anything was simply that he could not speak.

Although, Cheng Yu had started suspecting over the past two days that White Mask was mute. It was just that he was too afraid to ask him directly.

During the silence, Ren Xiaosu was sizing up the newcomers. Most of the people who could escape from the Pyro Company’s encirclement were probably very skilled. Even if they were not supernatural beings, they would still be extremely capable in combat.

Initially, Ren Xiaosu was thinking of taking advantage of the situation by tagging onto a larger group. But there were too many people in their team now, and even more people from other teams would be merging with them.

If that happened, they would become too big a target and could end up facing a full purge from the Pyro Company. They were about to reach the core region of the Sacred Mountains, and the cell phone signal here was completely blocked. All of this was telling them they would soon face an even more brutal encirclement by the Pyro Company. Under such circumstances, Ren Xiaosu would prefer to act alone instead. A second later, Yang Xiaojin suddenly pulled him backwards and rolled away. With a crack, a sniper bullet landed at the position where they were just sitting.

But while Ren Xiaosu was fine, the others were not so lucky. A young man who had just joined the group was shot by another bullet before he could even get up and dodge.

Ren Xiaosu’s reaction was not slow either. He followed Yang Xiaojin and ran into the forest. The Pyro Company’s counterattack had come faster than they had expected!

However, he could not understand why they were in such a hurry that they needed to make a move during the day.

Of course, if he knew that Li Shentan was leading a team to meet up with him, he would understand the Pyro Company was worried it would get too difficult to deal with them after they joined up!

Luo Lan scrambled after Ren Xiaosu. “Wait for me!” He caught up with Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin and followed them to find cover.

However, Luo Lan suddenly realized the two people in front of him did not seem like they were looking for cover. Instead, they seemed to be looking for the best position to launch a counterattack.

White Mask also started moving. It did not run with Ren Xiaosu but ran in the opposite direction. As a result, the others also ran in the opposite direction of Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin.

The sniper rifle kept ringing out, but it was obvious the sniper was not paying attention to the smaller group of people. Instead, it was “Old Xu” who attracted all of the firepower.

But Cheng Yu and the others were not pushovers either. In just an instant, Cheng Yu activated his illusion techniques.

In the wilderness, countless figures scattered off in all directions. As a result, the hidden snipers could not tell who was real and who was fake.

Although Cheng Yu’s illusions did not have any actual destructive power, they were excellent for confusing the enemy. Cheng Yu bought some time for everyone. He shouted to the person next to him, “Is there anyone who can finish off that sniper? We can’t keep getting suppressed like this. My illusions can only last for ten minutes at most!”

But no one answered him. It seemed that no one had the ability to kill an enemy long distance with their powers.

Cheng Yu suddenly thought of something. Didn’t White Mask’s partner specialize in using sniper rifles? He shouted at White Mask, “Get your partner to make his move. I’ll create an illusion to cover him!”

But Old Xu looked like “he” only cared about running for “his” life and totally ignored Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu got anxious. He looked around to see if there was any other hope. But when he looked around, he was surprised to see Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin had disappeared. Along with them, Luo Lan, Zhou Qi, and the Great Hoodwinker were also nowhere to be seen! Strange, didn’t those people follow the main group?

Yang Xiaojin said as she ran, “Only Luo Lan, Zhou Qi, and the Great Hoodwinker are following us. Confirmed two snipers on the other side. One is 721 meters away to our 3 o’clock, and the other is 632 meters away to our 4 o’clock. Pick one.”

“4 o’clock!” Ren Xiaosu said. There was no need for him to act like he was more capable than Yang Xiaojin when it came to shooting. She was just better than him, so he chose the easier target to handle!

The two of them said in unison, “Three, two, one…”

Then Luo Lan and the others who were following them suddenly saw the young man and woman in front get down on one knee in unison, and identical black sniper rifles appeared the moment they raised their hands. Ren Xiaosu’s firearms skill was copied from Yang Xiaojin. Although he had attained master-level proficiency in it through his own efforts, his foundation was still Yang Xiaojin’s.

Therefore, the two of them were moving so in sync that Luo Lan and the others felt like they were carved from the same mold. Their teamwork was so amazing it looked like they were the other’s double!

Even their breathing occurred at the same frequency.

Upon seeing this, Luo Lan subconsciously held his breath in fear of disturbing the two of them.

Then the exchange of gunfire began!

The sniper rifles’ bullets spun out of their barrels with huge kinetic energy and shattered the barrier between time and space. The fallen leaves around the two snipers were sent flying into the air by the shockwave emitted by the firing of their rifles and blown aside.

Luo Lan swore he had never seen such a powerful sniper rifle before. Was it even any different from an artillery weapon?!

The moment before the shots were fired was extremely quiet. But the second the triggers were pulled, everything started stirring!

Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin remained calm throughout. It was as though they had done something quite normal.

Luo Lan whipped around and looked in the direction they were shooting. Two bloody spurts burst in the distant mountains. The sight was filled with a peculiar sense of beauty that emanated from the power amid the violence.

Elsewhere, Cheng Yu and the others stopped in their tracks. The sound of the sniper rifles firing in the distance had stopped. Clearly, someone had taken care of the Pyro Company’s snipers. Who was it? Cheng Yu already had an answer in mind.

Weren’t there only five people who were not present here with them? Among those five, at least two snipers were working together to shoot the enemy.

For some reason, Cheng Yu was very sure the two people were Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin.

Coupled with the previous incident of the sniper assisting White Mask, Cheng Yu came to a sudden realization. So that couple were the assistants of White Mask!

Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin stood up again in unison. Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, “All snipers have been taken care of. But this time, there should be a lot more of the Pyro Company’s troops bearing down on us. Luo Lan, what would you do if you were in command?” “Hehe,” Luo Lan answered with a laugh, “if it were only me, I would’ve already fled. But with you around, I’d like to try and take them on.”
