A Top Scholar in Everything-Chapter 818 - 804: Pursuit

The company's army equipment is far more standard than that of the resistance army.

Short-range electronic communication devices, mobile combat vehicles, rocket launchers, and even an ironclad tank.

Such powerful firepower combined with a numerical advantage.

They are simply not on the same level as the resistance army.

The only advantage the resistance army might have would be their better understanding of the terrain and being fewer in number, making them easier to evade.

Very soon.

As the search team advanced, the entire city seemed to come alive; the rumble of the tanks, accompanied by the sound of artillery along the way, could be heard even from a great distance.

Baiyu and the others naturally heard it too.

In fact,

not long ago, Aphel had already discovered Luo Cheng and others, who were hiding nearby and secretly observing.

But Baiyu signaled not to bother with them.

Then shortly after,

Aphel discovered that the group of resistance fighters, accompanied by a large number of company men, had returned.

"What, the resistance army colluded with the company? How is that possible? The company and the resistance organization are completely opposing entities."

Baiyu immediately retorted after hearing what Aphel said.

However, Aphel said firmly: "But after that group of resistance fighters left, they brought back a group of company people.

And their target is moving towards us.

What do you think this situation is."

Aphel's eyes carried a hint of confusion.

However, Baiyu and Wang Shenghua instantly understood what the intentions of these people were.

After all, they were all in this business.

If they couldn't figure it out, they would have long been caught in someone's trap.

"This group of people wants to divert the trouble to the east. Looks like the resistance army is quite clever." Baiyu squinted his eyes.

Originally, he thought he and Wildfire wouldn't have any intersection, but unexpectedly, both sides actually reconnected in this way.

Wang Shenghua squinted her eyes: "This group of people really takes us for easy targets, daring to use us like this."

From her words, it was clear that Wang Shenghua was already ready to kill.

When facing people she couldn't defeat, Wang Shenghua usually appeared meek, but against those she could overpower, she would strike fiercely.

Baiyu was used to this.

"No rush, since they want to play it this way, we'll entertain them. Most of the monsters in this area have been cleared out, so we can move freely."

Baiyu's gaze fell on a small pathway next to them: "I remember this pathway should lead to your destination.

Let's go.

This might even be a shortcut."

Aphel slightly frowned: "Taking the newly planned route might present unexpected variables.

We should follow the original plan.

Even if a group of unexpected people appears, we should deal with them."

Baiyu glanced slightly: "And what if among these people, there is also a Level Two Mutant? If you can handle it, then I said nothing.

If not,

then I suggest we first choose a new path in advance."

Aphel quickly changed her firm attitude and wholly supported Baiyu's plan.

The four of them began quietly moving towards the side pathway.

Because they moved cautiously, they hardly made any noise, quietly disappearing from the room.

All that was left was a floor covered in blood and corpses.

The stench wafted from this place, spreading in all directions.

Very soon,

the search team found this place.

When they saw the blood-stained ground, the debris scattered everywhere, bodies mingled with blood and mud, even the hardiest of the search team felt their insides churn.

"Bastard. Stopping because of just this? Where's the mental resilience you were taught in company training?

We are different from those in-company members.

We are field personnel.

You should adapt to all difficulties, with completing the mission as your primary goal. The company provides you with the best benefits and living conditions, not to nurture waste."

On top of the large truck,

the elite officer, reeking of alcohol, berated them furiously.

His voice seemed to have a certain magic power.

The people who had been hesitating all around, as if stimulated by something, began advancing along the little path with obvious traces.

The culprit behind all this surely fled towards this small path.

They didn't even bother to hide it.

The elite officer standing on the truck slowly narrowed his eyes, although he knew all this couldn't have been done by the resistance army.

But,

he wouldn't let go of the new mice in this city.

Especially since this group of mice were heading towards that place.

...

In the distance, atop a tall building,

Luo Cheng and some members of Wildfire saw the direction the search team was heading toward and smiled knowingly.

It worked.

The search team was indeed drawn by Baiyu and the others and chased after them.

"Commander, I think we should follow suit now and see if there's a chance to solve all of it.

The strength beside Baiyu is not weak.

He and the search team are likely to have a fierce confrontation, and it's not impossible for both sides to suffer heavy losses.

We can take advantage of this time..."

Luo Cheng squinted his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, he didn't respond immediately.

After a long while,

a hint of danger flickered in his previously calm eyes, like a snake eyeing its prey.

"Move."

He said deeply.

Wildfire resistance's action just kept far behind the search team, maintaining an extremely safe distance.

This distance,

made it virtually impossible for them to be noticed.

Of course, the resistance army also didn't know what was happening ahead.

They could only follow the traces left on the road.

The tracks left by the tank were very obvious, especially on this poorly maintained, overgrown road.

These long tracks were not concealed at all.

It's always how the company operates, especially that elite officer, responsible for the field department, who always acts with authority.

Yet, there is complexity behind the brutishness.

Moreover, his strength is unfathomable and an extremely difficult adversary.

Luo Cheng did not hesitate, leading all his men, using the ground marks as benchmarks, and began advancing in this direction.

An Hongye hesitated to speak.

Her instincts told her they shouldn't be acting this way, Baiyu was reasonable but was never a kind person.

Once someone schemes against him,

he will certainly retaliate doubly.

Those company members he captured were a clear example.

Every one of them was brutally killed by Baiyu, not a soul left alive.

Subsequently, Baiyu's style,

was also very distinct.

An Hongye instinctively felt that using Baiyu this way would surely result in retaliation, and they might very well end up ruining themselves.

However,

at this moment, she had no choices, unable to change the commander's decision.
