Chapter 642 - A mysterious superhuman (1/2)

Translator: Legge

Before today, all of the violence that occured in the stronghold was more like a form of probing. There were scattered incidents across different locations, but none of them were enough to threaten the foundations of Luoyang City.

Just like the time when Zhang Baogen tried to kill someone, he had only done so as a hired gun.

Something like this probably happened because someone had wanted to see how quickly the garrison troops and the Riders would react.

But it was different now. The entire stronghold looked like it was caught in a premeditated move as chaos erupted everywhere.

This was the moment the slaughter would truly begin.

Ren Xiaosu frowned and said, “There’s nothing in Qinghe University that they’re after, so why did they start a killing spree here in the school? And why did they choose to do it in the daytime? I’m afraid that this is just a move to disrupt the Qinghe Group’s plans. These people are not truly making their move yet.”

Jiang Xu said, “I share the same thoughts as you. There’s still five hours until the sun sets, but the most critical moment is probably still nighttime. Go and save those students. They’re innocent.”

After that, Jiang Xu watched Ren Xiaosu dash off towards where the chaos started.

The students were fleeing in all directions. Perhaps due to what Jiang Xu had said in the lecture, the students in his class started leading the way after the chaos broke out and fled in the direction of the garrison troops. While running, they even called out to the other students to follow them.

However, the enemy’s plan was very meticulous. Before the students could escape to the area where the garrison troops were stationed, thugs rushed out from different directions and chased them around in a disciplined pattern. In the end, most of the students were driven into Teaching Block 11.

Ren Xiaosu suddenly rushed into their encirclement. However, the thugs did not think much of it. They only thought he was a flustered student trying to escape, so they chased him into the teaching block as well.

Ren Xiaosu did not choose to make a move immediately because there were too many students crowded here. If a battle broke out here, a lot of students could get killed in the crossfire. So he decided to wait for a better opportunity.

Roughly a dozen thugs had appeared. They did not seem like they wanted to restrain the entire school’s students either. They only rounded up a few hundred students so it would be easier to control them.

Shortly after, the entire teaching block was seized by the armed thugs. They then steered all the students in and crammed them into a lecture hall where they were kept locked up.

Guns pointing at them, the students did not dare to resist and obediently followed the thugs like sheep.

All the students in the teaching block were squeezed into this lecture hall and were shivering in fear. They did not know when the thugs had entered the school and why the garrison troops were not taking any action.

Some of the students saw through the windows that the thugs outside were all masked. After the thugs had searched the entire building, they stopped killing and just locked them up like this.

As if they had a plan, the thugs immediately dismantled the tables and chairs in the classrooms and piled them up at the four entrances of the teaching block. After these temporary barricades were built, the thugs even set up heavy machine gun nests inside the building!

By the time the garrison troops arrived, the well-trained thugs had already completed locking down the entire teaching block. They had even built a defensive bunker on the roof of the building. Although what was happening in the bunker couldn’t be seen, there were definitely thugs occupying the high ground armed with heavy weapons.

The garrison troops’ commanding officer looked around and realized the location the thugs had chosen to defend was definitely planned. That was because the tallest building on the Qinghe University campus was Teaching Block 11.

The other teaching blocks were only five or six stories high, while Teaching Block 11 was a newly built building that stood eight stories tall.

Therefore, even if the garrison troops’ snipers were to be deployed, all the other suitable sniping spots would be within range of the thugs. If anyone were to take up a position on the roof of another building, they would definitely get targeted by the thugs.

Moreover, Teaching Block 11 was ingeniously located away from the various security posts, so the garrison troops were unable to react in time.
