Chapter 737 Enemies are bound to meet
The Pyro Company placed a great deal of emphasis on Li Shentan and w.a.n.g Congyang. However, it was fear they had for Li Shentan and hatred against w.a.n.g Congyang.
After all, w.a.n.g Congyang had run away with the data of an entire research laboratory, and it could not be emphasized how precious the data was. More importantly, he had completely interrupted the Pyro Company’s research in a certain field!
Moreover, w.a.n.g Congyang actually went back on their deal after accepting their deposit. That was something totally against the principles of business and humanity!
Of course, the Pyro Company did not trust w.a.n.g Congyang completely back then either. They even sent a lot of their people out for that operation and only informed w.a.n.g Congyang of the location six hours beforehand and requested him to come alone.
By doing so, they were thinking that even if w.a.n.g Congyang were to pull some tricks, they could still kill him.
But in reality, all of their people were killed instead!
During this period, the Pyro Company had been busy with other matters and did not have time to chase after w.a.n.g Congyang. They never expected he would actually come to the Sacred Mountains and disrupt their plans again.
How could this be tolerated? No one could accept it!
In the Pyro Company’s opinion, w.a.n.g Congyang was way too arrogant. For the entire night, the Pyro Company kept sending more people to encircle and intercept w.a.n.g Congyang’s steam locomotive. The people on the train were wondering, “Has the Pyro Company gone mad?! Why do they hate us so much?”
On their way, they even happened to b.u.mp into some supernatural beings who had fled from the other groups. Strictly speaking, they were not exactly fleeing. They only left their groups to look for better opportunities to get into the core region of the Sacred Mountains. When they saw these supernatural beings, they shouted for them to get onto the train. After all, there was strength in numbers. Although they might not know each other, whoever were the Pyro Company’s enemies would be their friends.
But after these supernatural beings got onto the train, they realized the steam locomotive was being pursued even more intensely than they had been!
Someone even asked suspiciously, “How did you all manage to escape so easily? We couldn’t even shake off the pursuers behind us. Did you have good ideas?”
Those supernatural beings were stunned for a moment. “We didn’t have any good ideas. They just stopped chasing us after a while.” Everyone did not know why there was so much hatred for this group.
To those who were unaware of the situation, they probably found it a little confusing.
But in the eyes of the person in question, w.a.n.g Congyang, he was utterly confused as well…
Although the Pyro Company had issued an order for his arrest, they did not have the time to deal with him so far. Furthermore, w.a.n.g Congyang also knew he was in the wrong. After all, it was really not right of him to accept the deposit and run away after that. Therefore, he did not really argue either.
But from the look of it, w.a.n.g Congyang felt that something was not right. Didn’t he just run off with some money? Did they have to be so angry about it? w.a.n.g Congyang felt it was probably because of him that the Pyro Company discriminated against their group so badly. It was either that or there was something else even he was unaware of.
But he did not say anything. After all, if he announced that, he would become the target of everyone in the group.
Between dying by himself and dying together with the rest, w.a.n.g Congyang would definitely be more inclined towards the latter. Moreover, there were quite a few pretty women in this group, so he would at least have some company after death.
Of course, if he could survive, staying alive was still the better option. Looking at the Pyro Company members that were chasing relentlessly them, w.a.n.g Congyang turned around and asked, “Where should we head now? I’ll be in charge of driving the train. Y’all set the direction.”
A member of the Anjing House said, “Let’s head west!”
“Why should we head west?” someone wondered.
“Heading east would’ve been safer since apparently the team over there has the Demon Whisperer with them. But it’s too dangerous since we have to pa.s.s through the Sacred Mountains to get there.” The Anjing House member said, “And there’s another team in the west. Have you all heard of White Mask before? He’s in that team right now.”
Everyone on the train looked at one another. Who hadn’t heard of White Mask? Although he had only appeared a few times, it was always quite sensational whenever he did.
Besides, it made White Mask more mysterious the fewer times he appeared.
The steam locomotive’s railcar turned and headed straight for the west. However, w.a.n.g Congyang was thinking about something along the way. He felt a vague sense of uneasiness. It was as though he should not have come to the Sacred Mountains at all, much less head to the west now.
However, he still had a secret weapon he had not used yet. Since w.a.n.g Congyang could conjure up a big black cauldron as his trump card, he felt his chances of survival would be greater than the others… While Ren Xiaosu’s group was still singing and dancing, they heard the sound of a steam locomotive in the wilderness, and a metallic clanging as railroad tracks clinked together.
Ren Xiaosu was very familiar with this sound. Yang Xiaojin subconsciously looked at Ren Xiaosu. She wondered why he had suddenly conjured up the steam locomotive.
But when she saw the same puzzled expression on Ren Xiaosu’s face, she immediately realized it was not Ren Xiaosu’s steam locomotive but w.a.n.g Congyang’s!
The steam locomotive headed straight for the campfires. w.a.n.g Congyang saw a strange sight from on the train from a distance. “Wait, did you guys see someone do the splits at that campsite?”
“Who’d be in the mood to do the splits at a time like this… d.a.m.n, you’re right!”
Everyone on the train was shocked. They found it a little difficult to react. Why wasn’t the group in front of them attacked by the Pyro Company? Moreover, they were even in the mood to do the splits?!
Cheng Yu, who had just done the splits, got up quickly from the ground. He was now deeply regretting his actions.
Cheng Yu’s eyesight was good, so he could see the stunned expressions of w.a.n.g Congyang and the others on the steam locomotive through the windows.
During the entire talent show, Cheng Yu had procrastinated for a long time before agreeing to be the last one to perform. However, he suffered the greatest humiliation!
“Isn’t that w.a.n.g Congyang’s superpower?” Luo Lan wondered, “What are they doing here?”
Then they heard a loud explosion come from behind the steam locomotive. Only then did everyone manage to react. So it turned out those people were being chased all the way here by the Pyro Company. However, when the Pyro Company realized the people on the steam locomotive had joined up with the group to the west, they stopped the pursuit after receiving an order to retreat.
Everyone on the train was relieved. A member of the Anjing House said, “Looks like we made the right choice. There must be someone in this group the Pyro Company is very afraid of. That’s why we got encircled but they didn’t.”
“Enough talking. Let’s get out of the train,” w.a.n.g Congyang said.
But just as he got down from the train, w.a.n.g Congyang froze on the spot when he saw Ren Xiaosu sitting next to a campfire.
Ren Xiaosu stood up and walked slowly towards w.a.n.g Congyang. He had not forgotten that this guy had led a group of bandits to attack them.
Right now, he was seething with anger upon seeing his enemy again!
Enemies were truly bound to meet!
