285 My reinforcements have arrived! (1/2)

Ren Xiaosu initially fled east as the Li Consortium's mysterious nanosoldiers were chasing after them from the west. Furthermore, the eastern wall had been breached by missiles just now.

But he felt something amiss when he fled here. Judging by the size of the fleeing crowd, something terrifying had to be chasing after them.

Ren Xiaosu asked Chen Wudi, \”Can you hear the commotion ahead of us? Are there any strange roars there?\”

Chen Wudi nodded. \”Yes, I hear some!\”

\”Sounds like it's really the Experimentals. Old Li, hurry up and turn around!\” Ren Xiaosu shouted.

Ren Xiaosu and his group had to turn back now. If they could find any main road leading in any other direction, they would have to take it and see whether they could shake off the mysterious troops that were pursuing them.

Ren Xiaosu would much rather face the Li Consortium's troops than the vast number of Experimentals.

When they were at Stronghold 109, the number of Experimentals had already reached over a 1,000. Now that they had absorbed even more people into their ranks from Stronghold 109, Ren Xiaosu would believe it even if someone said there were 3,000 of them!

There were probably only several hundred nanosoldiers pursuing them, so it really wasn't too difficult to choose between several hundred and several thousand.

\”When it rains, it pours.\” Ren Xiaosu sighed. This huge stronghold had suddenly become a cage filled with desperate stronghold residents fleeing for their lives.

Ren Xiaosu was not surprised that the stronghold's air defense system did not play any effective role this time. After all, even someone like Hu Shuo had rebelled against the organization, so it wouldn't be surprising if the defense system of the Li Consortium had become as fragile as paper.

The Li Consortium had originally been guarding against the Experimentals, but how could they have expected missiles to descend down on their walls and destroy the stronghold!

…

A couple was strolling on the streets at this time. When they saw the ferocious Experimentals behind them, they started running desperately with the crowd.

As they ran, the girl suddenly fell down. The boy who had promised to protect her for the rest of his life suddenly let go of her hand and continued running ahead by himself.

The girl screamed her boyfriend's name but he still did not turn around.

…

A middle-aged man was pushing his father in a wheelchair in the streets. Some years earlier, his lower body had been paralyzed due to a construction accident.

When the Experimentals arrived, the middle-aged man suddenly abandoned his father in the wheelchair and escaped by himself. The old man who was left behind sat there calmly and looked at the ferocious faces of the Experimentals. In reality, this old man wasn't keen on living anymore either. He had been getting scolded quite often by his own family members over the years, and even his daughter-in-law called him an old coot right to his face.

…

The ugliness that existed in the belly of the stronghold and the indifference concealed within the prosperous city had suddenly been exposed.

But in this crowd, there was also a mother who suffered a sprain who pushed her child away. \”Go on ahead, darling! Don't look back! Mommy will catch up with you soon!\”

The child kept crying and refused to leave. The mother broke into tears and cried, \”Will someone save my child?\”

Some people were shivering in fear as they hid inside their houses. It was as though they thought they could escape the pursuit of those humanoid monsters by doing so. When they realized the monsters did not break into their houses, they felt a sense of exaltation. It was only a matter of time before the Li Consortium's troops would eliminate these monsters.

Then they would be saved.

What they did not know was that these Experimentals were only letting them off for the time being. Prey that did not run away would not need to be hunted down immediately. They could slowly seek them out afterwards.

As for the Li Consortium's troops, they would not be coming to save them.

Less than two minutes after Ren Xiaosu's truck had turned around, and before they could even find a road to turn off into to escape, he could already see the mysterious troops approaching! Even with the most conservative estimate, there were still over a 100 of them!

It was too late! This battle was unavoidable!
