456 Breakthrough! (1/2)
The alarm in Garrison 146's military base was getting more and more deafening. It even got to the point where almost half of the stronghold could hear it now. When the residents furtively opened their windows and looked out towards the base, they heard the heavy footsteps of soldiers running around. The troops that were originally searching for Ren Xiaosu in the stronghold were rushing back towards the base.
Some residents were bewildered by this. When they heard during the day that the Zong Consortium troops had been unable to capture the young man who had broken into the stronghold, everyone found it unbelievable. After all, there was an entire formation of Zong Consortium troops stationed here, while the other party was only a single person.
Yet they couldn't even capture him?
At that time, the person who brought up the matter said, ”My brother-in-law is a regimental commander in the Garrison 146 troops. He was the one who told me about it.”
However, many of those he told did not believe it and felt he was just bragging. They said that if his brother-in-law were a regimental commander, then their father would be the brigade commander.
After all, the situation was so chaotic that everyone was getting extremely unsettled, and it felt like the war was starting to affect the people in Stronghold 146. As such, no one really took that young man's words seriously.
After all, who would believe that a brigade could not even deal with a lone enemy who had entered the stronghold?
But at this moment, they were finally a little convinced after hearing the ear-piercing alarm.
The young man had not only escaped the pursuit of the garrison troops in the daytime, he was even bold enough to attack the base of the Zong Consortium's garrison?
After Ren Xiaosu killed the guard at the entrance, he immediately headed upstairs armed with his black saber. When someone saw him kill the guard through the surveillance camera, they rushed down. The alarm in the tower blared as well. All of a sudden, a commotion broke out in the administrative building.
Two of the soldiers who rushed down had their guards up in the stairway. They had seen clearly through the surveillance camera how unbelievably skilled the enemy was. When the enemy took out the guard earlier, he even smashed the brick wall beside him at the same time.
But before they could even come face to face with Ren Xiaosu, they saw a hand reach out of a shadow cast by the stairway's handrail. It then dropped a grenade at their feet!
An explosion blasted in the tower. Ren Xiaosu did not have time to tussle with these Zong Consortium soldiers who were hiding in the shadows and trying to shoot him. It would be too troublesome if the enemy's troops managed to group up and surround the tower.
The troops in the tower all rushed down, with some of them adopting a defensive formation in the stairways and corners while they waited quietly for Ren Xiaosu to show up.
However, this method would only be effective when dealing with normal enemies. Against Ren Xiaosu, that was too passive a tactic.
Ren Xiaosu was rapidly taking down the enemy troops one by one. The soldier in the control room who was in charge of monitoring and reporting Ren Xiaosu's movements could only watch as he ran through the corridors like a ghostly presence, and his every move was also ferocious like a beast's.
Through the surveillance feed, he watched an officer rush out of a room holding a pistol. But the moment he stepped out of the room, a black saber slashed onto his shoulder and his arm fell onto the ground together with the gun.
Right after, the young man kicked the officer so forcefully his entire body was mangled.
How much strength would he need to be able to do that? The bones in a human body were extremely tough!
As grenades exploded one after another, the soldier in the control room saw the security monitors turning black one by one. However, he could do nothing to stop the young man's advance.
Every few seconds, a security monitor would either go black or turn into static.
The soldier in the control room suddenly felt like he was watching a paranormal movie. Such scenes would usually take place right before the appearance of a ghost as it slowly wrang the fear out of its victim's heart until it bled.
