Chapter 808 - It wont kill you to take a look (1/2)

The previously quiet Stronghold 31 livened up. At almost the same time, countless troops started gathering towards Honghu Road.

As it was currently wartime, all of the stronghold’s garrison troops were in an extreme state of alert. If there were even the slightest commotion, it would kick up a storm.

If they were to discover that the target had not been apprehended, all of the patrolling troops, from top to bottom, would probably get punished for it.

As the off-road vehicles drove through the streets, some of the mobile columns set up roadblocks on the main traffic arteries.

The residents in the stronghold were jolted awake. Many of them did not know what was going on and thought the Pyro Company had invaded Stronghold 31.

The most amazing thing was that some of the stronghold residents ran out in their long johns before they could even figure out what was going on. Then they headed straight for the nearest shops to snap up food and daily necessities.

After these stronghold residents came running out, they ended up staring at the patrol troops in the streets downstairs. Then, with the black muzzles pointing at them, they retreated back to their homes.

Ren Xiaosu was not hung up on fighting. He made a run for the north before making a big detour and turning back towards the residential neighborhood.

At this moment, two members of the Public Order Division were walking in the opposite direction of Honghu Road. One of them said, “I’m sure that I saw a black shadow fly over my head just now. You didn’t believe me when I told you earlier. Now look, something has happened!”

The other person slapped him upside his head exasperatedly. “Enough of that nonsense! I saw it too, but I don’t want to die!”

The person who spoke earlier was taken aback. “What do you mean?”

“Our salary in the Public Order Division is not as high as what the troops are getting. Do you think we can afford to provoke someone who can fly around in the sky like that?” The other person said, “Think about it! If you alert everyone with your shouting, he might just jump down and silence us. Could we escape that?”

“That sounds valid…” Halfway through his sentence, the person speaking started trembling. He said in a shaky voice, “Look at that person up ahead….”

When Ren Xiaosu, who had stopped in his tracks to orientate himself, heard their voices, he turned around and looked at the two of them with his face hidden under his hood. The two Public Order Division officers immediately turned around and walked in the other direction. “Hahaha, it’s so dark tonight.”

“Yeah, why’s there suddenly fog? I can’t see anything at all….”

Ren Xiaosu glanced at the two of them and calculated the distance between them. He was silently planning something in his mind.

Tonight’s pursuit had happened rather unexpectedly, but Ren Xiaosu was not flustered in the slightest.

The two officers who had encountered Ren Xiaosu were walking with their backs facing him. They muttered softly between themselves, “Has he left? Why don’t you turn around and have a look?”

“Why don’t you fucking turn around and have a look instead?” the other person snapped. “What if he’s right behind us?”

“Come on, it won’t kill you to take a look….”

Suddenly, Ren Xiaosu’s voice rang out behind them. “Stop arguing! Why don’t you two turn around and have a look?”

The two officers reacted quickly. When they heard the voice behind them, they wanted to make a run for it. But before they could do so, they felt their vision turning dark as they were knocked unconscious to the ground.

Ren Xiaosu quietly picked up their walkie-talkies and said in a nasally voice, “Suspicious person discovered at 172 Hero Hill Road. I repeat, suspicious person discovered at 172 Hero Hill Road!”

After saying that, Ren Xiaosu quickly climbed to the top of a tall building and quietly looked in the direction of 172 Hero Hill Road.
