Completely empty
The Pyro Company members hiding behind the vehicles tried to draw their sabers and engage in close combat. Some of them even started running into the wilderness, but they were all chased down by "Old Xu," one by one.
However, "Old Xu" did not kill them all. Two people were spared.
In the distance, Ren Xiaosu suddenly became nervous. He moved "Old Xu" towards the container truck slowly.
Ren Xiaosu had not seen Yan Liuyuan in a long time, so he was really hoping Yan Liuyuan would be inside the container truck, and that when he opened up the container, the other party would call out "Bro" to him.
Ren Xiaosu had been looking forward to the day of their reunion for far too long.
With a snap, "Old Xu" broke the lock on the container with its bare hands. But when the door was opened, Ren Xiaosu was stunned.
He heard Yang Xiaojin’s voice through the earpiece. "What’s the matter, Xiaosu? Is it Liuyuan?""
"There’s nothing in the container," Ren Xiaosu said with some difficulty.
When "Old Xu" opened the container door, it was completely empty on the inside. Ren Xiaosu was really unable to accept this. He even ordered "Old Xu" to break apart the container with its bare hands to see if there were any hidden compartments inside.
Unfortunately, there wasn’t.
When the five people on the mountain in the distance saw this, they bit their tongues nervously. The other party had dismantled the truck as though it were a toy.
But they were also a little puzzled. Why wasn’t there anyone in the container?
"What’s going on? Didn’t they say they had captured the No. 001 Experimental?" Ren Xiaosu wondered. "Could the Anjing House have received the wrong intel?"
"That can’t be. They must’ve succeeded in capturing it," Yang Xiaojin said firmly. "Let’s take the survivors away and interrogate them."
"Alright then." Ren Xiaosu sighed and said, "Let’s retreat."
With that, Yang Xiaojin pulled the trigger and fired at the five people hiding on the mountain. The bullets pierced their caps
After a long time, they got up and realized the enemy had probably left. They had only fired off those shots earlier because they did not want them to see where they had gone.
"Thankfully, the sniper showed us mercy. Otherwise, the five of us would’ve died here," the supernatural being muttered. He looked at the bullet hole in his collar and was surprised to see the sniper had shot a button off. If that were intentional, just how good was the sniper’s marksmanship?
If such a team were to travel around the wilderness, whoever encountered them would be extremely down on their luck.
"What should we do now?" his assistant asked.
"Sell the information to the Anjing House. Tell them there wasn’t anyone in the container. We’ve been tricked by the Pyro Company. This news will fetch a lot of money," the supernatural being said.
…
"Old Xu" carried the two unconscious Pyro Company members all the way east. Only when they had chosen a place to camp did they finally settle down to set up their tents and start cooking.
Ren Xiaosu carried a bucket of cold water over and splashed it on the heads of the Pyro Company members. The cold stream water in winter made the two of them shiver. Then they looked at Ren Xiaosu before them in horror.

Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, "I’ll ask, and you two will answer. Let’s reduce any unnecessary trouble for each other. Did y’all successfully capture the No. 001 Experimental?"
"Ye—" The Pyro Company member could not even give a complete answer before choking on his words.
Following, dark blood flowed out of their eyes, and the two of them dropped dead to the ground.
Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin looked at each other. "Did they commit suicide by swallowing poison or what?"
"It feels more like someone has cursed them with an anti-betrayal hex." Yang Xiaojin said, "I’ve heard about it before. It seems there’s a superhuman whose power is similar to this. As long as the victims are cursed, they can never betray anyone. The price of betrayal is death."
"Based on his answer, I guess he was going to say they succeeded?" Ren Xiaosu frowned and said, "Since they succeeded, why wasn’t the No. 001 Experimental in the container?"
"It’s very likely that another team from the Pyro Company secretly transported the No. 001 Experimental away after capturing it. Meanwhile, the group we encountered was meant to draw firepower towards it." Yang Xiaojin sighed and said, "I’m afraid there was more than one T5 combatant of the Pyro Company that headed to the steppe this time."
