A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 817 - 803: Diverting Calamity Eastward

With his understanding, naturally, he couldn't comprehend what was happening now.

Baiyu. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

A Level Three Mutant, who until recently remembered nothing, now suddenly reappeared in the city ruins.

And.

Beside him were three companions whose strengths were unknown but looked very powerful.

This inevitably made Luo Cheng think of many things.

Baiyu might belong to other organizations or forces. After discovering the city ruins, he immediately reported the situation to his organization, which then organized a team of elites to gather intelligence.

It's also possible.

Baiyu assembled a group on his own, aiming to acquire something valuable in this city.

In any case.

Things aren't developing in a good direction.

This city ruin was initially discovered by us, Wildfire, but now there's another developer, as if a piece of the cake we found has been taken away without reason.

"In hindsight, it was reckless. I shouldn't have let a mutant of unknown origin undertake such a task just for convenience."

Luo Cheng felt regret.

But at this moment, regret was clearly futile.

Baiyu's abilities seemed to have increased, and even more daunting was the girl beside him; her clean, swift slaying of the Mutated Gene Beast was extremely shocking.

That's not something a Level Three Mutant could do.

"Commander, should we act together with Baiyu? It seems they're also searching for things in this city."

An Hongye spoke with a hint of excitement.

She was very happy to see Baiyu, her life-saving benefactor, again.

However.

Luo Cheng sternly stopped her:

"Do you know how dangerous what you're doing is?

This group of people.

Are you sure Wildfire can cooperate with such people? An Hongye, now is not the time to do things based on personal preferences."

Being reprimanded like this.

An Hongye's face flushed, and she wanted to argue, but couldn't find the words when she opened her mouth.

Luo Cheng continued, "Our deal with Baiyu was already over. He helped us solve the company's mutants, and we provided him with Genetic Elixirs, vaccines, and a vehicle to leave.

It was a fair trade.

After this transaction ended, our relationship did as well. I hope you understand that meeting again might very well be as enemies, not friends."

Hearing Luo Cheng's words.

An Hongye gritted her teeth and finally nodded: "Understood, Commander."

At this moment.

A Wildfire member next to her said: "Commander, there's another search team from Geling Company ahead.

Since Geling Company got entangled by Steel Warriors and other resistance groups.

The personnel of the search team here haven't been replenished.

If we can handle this batch, we can dismantle the company's influence in a short time.

At least before they break free from the Steel Warriors' influence, the company won't have much energy to focus here.

Right now.

I do have a way to solve this company's search team without bloodshed."

Obviously.

The solution mentioned by this Wildfire member was simply to divert the trouble elsewhere.

The company's search team was trying everything to eliminate them, and they were also trying everything to eliminate the company people.

Now.

Another new group had entered.

Pitting one enemy against another is the best choice.

Upon hearing this Wildfire member's words, Luo Cheng was caught in hesitant thought for a moment.

This was a very serious matter.

If driving the tiger doesn't work, it might backfire. But now, this temptation lay here, so alluring.

People born in the wasteland.

Most naturally harbor a sense of adventure; they are cautious, careful, but at critical decision points, they are not ambiguous.

Luo Cheng was even one of the best among them.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to climb from a gathering place of dozens to one of Wildfire's Commanders.

"Do it."

Luo Cheng squinted his eyes: "But be subtle about it. Baiyu, being a Treasure Hunter, naturally resists the company to some extent, especially since last time, he killed one of the company's mutants.

When both sides meet.

A small spark is all it takes to ignite a great explosion.

Moreover.

This city has always been something the company sees as its possession, a place they would never allow others to touch."

Luo Cheng's plan was very simple.

Directly attack the company's scavenger squad, then lead them over here. Once the two groups meet, they'll naturally start fighting.

The plan was quickly put into action.

These people who rolled out from a hail of bullets had astonishingly high execution, years of collaboration often understood with just a glance what teammates needed to do.

Soon.

The large company search teams within the Ruins City encountered heavy firepower attacks from the resistance organization.

The Wildfire's offensive was extremely fierce.

For a moment, the search teams thought Wildfire was going to desperately fight them.

But after the initial confusion.

Just as the search team was about to organize an effective counterattack, these Wildfire resistance members quickly retreated.

However.

The search team wasn't going to let it go just like that.

They were just worried about not being able to find these annoying flies; every time they moved out in large numbers, the others would escape.

This time.

They decided to wipe out the resistance daring to provoke them.

"Move out, damn these bugs, this time I'm crushing them all."

The one responsible for this search squad.

Was an elite company cadre, also a powerful Level Two Mutant.

He was neither fat nor thin, with messy beard, unfocused eyes, radiating a strong smell of alcohol.

Alcohol.

It was considered a relatively luxurious consumable.

In this age where many couldn't even eat their fill, alcohol was an extremely luxurious item.

However.

The big man had several canteens hung at his waist, seemingly all filled with alcohol, and he held one in his hand, gulping it down.

Reeking of alcohol, he said coldly: "Everyone deploy, capture these people in one go, I want none left!"

"Major, won't this be a bit rash? Wildfire also has a Level Two Mutant. If we launch a reckless attack..."

A company soldier, seeing their leader's state, hesitantly spoke.

Fighting a Level Two Mutant isn't a trivial matter.

"What? You don't trust me?"

The man gulped down a large swig of alcohol, with a bit of drunkenness, said: "Damn it, you rookies who just joined the company should listen to orders well.

Go inquire around.

Find out who I am.

Don't mind me drinking every day, but in my heart, I'm very clear-headed. All of you get ready, move out."

With the cadre's mandatory order.

The company soldiers didn't dare to slack off, hastily activated equipment, and started chasing in Wildfire's retreat direction.
