Chapter 743 From each according to their ability
It was as though Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin’s instant elimination of the snipers had inspired Luo Lan. As a result, Fatty Luo’s heroism was sparked.
Or perhaps it was because Luo Lan did not have the chance to use his power in combat ever since he had awakened as a supernatural being that caused him to start feeling a little restless.
So, while the others were fleeing, Luo Lan had started thinking about how to work together with Ren Xiaosu to fight back.
Ren Xiaosu looked at Luo Lan and said, “If it’s a battle, our group of several dozen people will have to split up into smaller groups. Otherwise, we might not have much of an advantage against an entire unit of troops.”
“I understand that.” Luo Lan chuckled and said, “Qing Zhen once mentioned that the Li Consortium’s most foolish act was to group up the nanosoldiers. But actually, it would’ve been better for those powerful individual warriors to resort to guerrilla warfare and infiltrate enemy ranks. Our current situation is similar to that.”
The Great Hoodwinker spoke, “Xiaosu, just tell us what your plan is. We just need to coordinate with you.”
Ren Xiaosu looked at Luo Lan. “How exactly do you use your superpower?”
Luo Lan called upon his martyred spirits, and 12 golden silhouettes walked out of his body one by one.
Luo Lan said, “The physical strength of these 12 has been enhanced, but it’s still a little lacking as compared to supernatural beings. To be honest, I’ve never thought about how to unleash their combat power.”
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and then took out several boxes of firearms from his storage space. These included two heavy machine guns, ten automatic rifles, and several boxes of bullets and grenades.
He said to Luo Lan, “I think that since they’re all professional soldiers and the elites of the Qing Consortium’s military, it would be better to let them use firearms and find a suitable position to suppress the Pyro Company’s forces. I have another question. Will they die if they get shot?” “No.” One of the martyred Qing Consortium soldiers said, “It’ll still hurt, but it’s not actually a big deal.”
Ren Xiaosu nodded. It seemed that Luo Lan’s superpower was still a little neutered. After all, even if they were elites, it would still be very difficult for them to go head-on against a supernatural being with 12 soldiers.
However, Ren Xiaosu had unlocked many of his superpowers and learned how to put them to good use. So he was quite experienced when it came to utilizing superpowers.
These 12 martyred spirits were immortal. How terrifying would it be if a machine gun nest could never be taken out? It would probably be enough to give any army a headache in a large-scale war. Moreover, Luo Lan only had 12 martyred spirits under his command. What if he were to take in an entire army in the future? Of course, Luo Lan would need to have enough willpower to do so first. At that time, with tens of thousands of martyred spirits doing battle, unable to die, that would be more than enough to give anyone a headache. In fact, Luo Lan could even end up at Li Shentan’s level. If he played it properly, he could topple an entire organization all by himself.
Ren Xiaosu asked Luo Lan, “What’s the maximum number of martyred spirits you can summon?”
Luo Lan thought for a moment and said, “12.” “Oh.” Ren Xiaosu nodded. He felt a little aggrieved that it was Luo Lan who had this power.
Although a strongpoint that could not be taken out was also very powerful, it still felt a little lacking.
But all he needed was one more Perfect Skill Duplication Scroll, and this power would shine in his hands.
Ren Xiaosu said to Luo Lan, “How about this? You lead the 12 martyred spirits and set up an emplacement while Yang Xiaojin and I will take out the enemies.”
“OK.” Luo Lan knew it would be more dangerous for him if he did that. But how could battle not be dangerous? At critical moments like these, Luo Lan had never dropped the ball before!
“We have snipers on our side now, but the enemy no longer has any. So it’s still better if Xiaojin and I remain in hiding to suppress the enemy. The three of you, take care.” Ren Xiaosu said, “Once they realize they can’t take out the MG nest, and after we kill enough of them, the enemy will turn their attention to the two of us.”

Luo Lan’s eyes lit up. By the time the Pyro Company realized there were only two snipers on the opposing side, they would probably have paid a terrible price for it. “However, I’m most worried that a T5 combatant will join the battle. Don’t let your guard down just because the previous battles were so easy. The person behind the Pyro Company is not that stupid.” Ren Xiaosu looked at Zhou Qi and the Great Hoodwinker. “Are the two of you confident of dealing with a T5 combatant?”
“Don’t worry about that,” the Great Hoodwinker said with a nonchalant smile.
Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment. He realized the Great Hoodwinker might be a hidden expert as well. Exactly. If he weren’t an expert, how could he walk around in the wilderness alone with such ease and have the balls to stroll around the periphery of the Sacred Mountains?
Zhou Qi looked at the Great Hoodwinker. “If he’s fine with it, so am I.”
“Alright, everyone, be careful.”
After that, Ren Xiaosu followed Yang Xiaojin and headed into the wilderness. When it came down to sniping, the moment still belonged to Yang Xiaojin. Ren Xiaosu knew himself well. He would not even have to use his brain now and only needed to follow her.
On the other side, tho people who were running with “Old Xu” had gradually split up as well. Since Ren Xiaosu knew their group had to split up, the others thought of it as well.
Although their team was in a bit of a pathetic state, the members were no rookies. The Pyro Company’s troops had fanned out and surrounded them. It was obvious they were trying to take them out in one fell swoop. However, due to Cheng Yu and the others splitting up, the Pyro Company’s formation changed very quickly. They split up into seven groups and chased after the people who had scattered.
Cheng Yu glanced at Wang Yun, who was next to him, and frowned. “Didn’t you make a deal with that young man? Why didn’t you follow them?”
Wang Yun smiled and said, “Didn’t you realize the five of them are together? Although we made a deal, once there’s danger, the one who’ll get abandoned will definitely be an outsider like me. We don’t have much of a relationship, so it’s better to follow the main group under such circumstances.” It was not that Wang Yun did not want to have the backing of someone powerful but that he felt he might not be qualified to do so.
“Then why are you following me?” Cheng Yu wondered.
Wang Yun smiled shamelessly and said, “Although your illusions might be very weak, you’re very skilled at escaping and ambushing. Why don’t we work together?”.
“What do you propose?” Cheng Yu asked calmly.
Even Song Qiao, Cheng Yu’s colleague from the Anjing House, was relying on his own abilities to escape. As for Cheng Yu’s power, he needed to find someone strong to act as his support.
A group of the Pyro Company’s troops passed through the forest and approached where Cheng Yu and the others were. But in their field of vision, they could only see dead trees and rocks. There was no one in sight.
The moment the troops passed through the area, a huge tree behind them disappeared like a flash of light. Wang Yun sneered as he charged into the group of people from behind.
In just an instant, Wang Yun killed seven people. The sound of air being compressed and exploding was as deafening as artillery fire.
By the time the Pyro Company’s troops reacted, Wang Yun had disappeared into thin air again. The Pyro Company members wanted to chase after him, but they all fell through the ground. The seemingly solid ground was actually a pit!
This forest had already been meticulously “decorated” by Cheng Yu, so no one could tell what was real.
“Fire!” Wang Yun said calmly.
His subordinates and Cheng Yu’s assistants, who were hiding behind the “curtain,” had been waiting for the opportunity to strike.
