104 A real disaster (1/2)

Ren Xiaosu once posed a question while chatting with Yan Liuyuan. What would happen if the walls that protected the humans collapsed?

At the time, Ren Xiaosu didn't really pay much attention even though he was the one who raised the question. After all, they would just rebuild the walls if they collapsed. The important people in the stronghold would still be important, and the refugees in town would still remain refugees.

But it was different this time. The walls could collapse at any other time but now. There were wolves waiting outside of the walls; wild animals and poisonous insects were also escaping out of the Jing Mountain range. There were face bugs and the Experimentals!

The tectonic plate movement that caused the earthquake was like a black swan that flapped its wings and brought a disaster upon the stronghold.

This stronghold seemed like it was situated right on two fault lines. With the violent movement of the plates, they tore it apart.

But that was not the only disaster brought on by the earthquake. The houses in the stronghold also crumbled, and countless people were buried alive under the buildings!

Ren Xiaosu was watching all this unfold from a faraway hilltop. The walls that had protected the residents of the stronghold for decades, or even over a century, was crumbling piece by piece like a melting glacier. In the end, the entire place was reduced to ruins.

This was perhaps the most shocking and insane sight Ren Xiaosu had ever witnessed in his life. The private troops atop the walls did not even have time to withdraw and fell to the ground along with the walls. Their bodies were all crushed!

These walls were at least 50 meters tall. A normal person who fell off would die for sure.

The wave of face bugs that couldn't get past the walls started swarming into the city within the stronghold. Those ”important people” in the city who were unable to recover in time from their panic caused by the collapsed buildings were eaten by the face bugs.

Wang Fugui and the others also stopped in their tracks and turned around to watch this sight with deep fear in their eyes.

”Xiaosu, will the people in the city survive?” Xiaoyu asked under her breath.

Ren Xiaosu turned around and continued heading in the direction of Stronghold 109. ”It's enough that we survive.”

In Ren Xiaosu's opinion, there would still be a portion of the stronghold's residents who could make it out alive. With a population of several hundred thousand, it was impossible that there weren't any smart people in the stronghold's city. Moreover, the Qing Consortium's combat troops were still in there.

But all of that didn't have anything to do with him. In this era, if it was of no concern to you, you didn't have to care about it. In the past, none of the important people ever cared about the life and death of the refugees. As such, no one would care about their lives now.

Besides, it wasn't like anyone could do anything about this disaster.

Suddenly, someone said, ”Look, there seems to be some kind of strange light in the stronghold.”

The next moment, Ren Xiaosu turned around and was surprised to see a gigantic bubble drifting towards the face bugs. Shortly after, the bubble burst, and it forcibly pushed the swarm of bugs back by dozens of meters. Furthermore, the bugs closest to the front looked like they had been killed by the blast.

The others might not know what that was, but Ren Xiaosu immediately thought of the person who had been caught and sent into the stronghold, Zhang Baogen.

This bubble was also larger than the one he had seen, but its appearance and effect were exactly the same.

Ren Xiaosu was uncertain. It looked like Zhang Baogen wasn't dead yet. In fact, his power had grown even stronger.

”It's a supernatural being!” Someone exclaimed, ”A supernatural being in the stronghold has made their move!”

”What the hell is that bubble?”

Ren Xiaosu looked at the surprised people and thought, ”If I say that it's a saliva bubble blown by Zhang Baogen, none of you will believe me….'

Wang Fugui's son, Wang Dalong, muttered, ”How I wish I were also a supernatural being.”

When the stronghold arrested the supernatural beings, everyone distanced themselves at the mention of the words ”supernatural being.” They were all afraid they would get implicated due to these two words.

But if they were honest with themselves, who wouldn't want to have extraordinary superpowers? Even someone who had already entered middle age, Wang Fugui, had also fantasized about it.

This was the ultimate desire human beings wanted from this world.
