This ti, it was the shadow clone that beca the main fighting force of the battle. A dozen Experintals had surrounded the shadow clone, but they were not in a hurry to attack.Among the Experintals, one of its leaders let out a hoarse roar. It was apparently communicating with its companions on how to deal with the “human” in front of them.
These creatures had departed from the normal speech of humans. They were communicating more like beasts with one another.
But while the Experintals did not make a move, the shadow clone did.
Seeing that more and more Experintals were erging from the underground tunnel, if they weren’t imdiately taken care of, their numbers aboveground would only start increasing.
These dozen or so Experintals were clearly just stalling for ti so their companions at the back could join them on the surface.
The shadow clone leaped up and flew straight over the head of an Experintal and towards the exit of the underground tunnel.
When that Experintal saw they could not stall the shadow clone, it tried to tangle up the shadow clone in midair with tooth and claw. But to its surprise, the shadow clone seed to have expected it to make a move and slashed back at it.
The black saber sliced through the howling wind with a buzzing sound. Before the Experintal could even make contact with the shadow clone’s body, it was severed in half!
The shadow clone did not stop moving. The mont it landed on the ground, it rushed straight for the underground tunnel. The Experintals that were charging towards the center of the stronghold behind the shadow clone imdiately went after it. They wanted to guard the underground tunnel’s exit for the other Experintals so they could co aboveground safely!
This seed to be an irrevocable order given by that intelligent being among them.
Six Experintals went to higher ground and pounced at the shadow clone from behind. Although their appearances were like humans, their crawling motions and gray skin made them look like huge spiders. They were extrely weird-looking.
Just as the Experintals behind were about to lunge at the shadow clone from above, the shadow clone suddenly bent over and avoided their pursuit by sliding away.
One of the Experintals was just about to exit from the underground tunnel when it saw a figure sliding on the ground. With a slice, its head was cut off.
The Experintal’s body fell limply back into the tunnel and onto its companions that were preparing to erge from the ground.
The Experintal below let out an angry roar as it pushed its companion’s corpse aside. Just as it tried to exit the tunnel, its head was pierced by a black saber that suddenly appeared above it.
In just a short mont, four Experintals had died to that black saber. That black saber was so sharp it could even penetrate the bodies of the Experintals when bullets could not.
The bodies of these four Experintals were blocking the tunnel exit while the shadow clone stood on top of their corpses. Listening to the indignant roars of the Experintals that were stuck in the tunnel, the shadow clone turned its “gaze” to the Experintals aboveground.
The Experintals on the street that had surrounded the shadow clone looked at the unfeeling white mask and black saber dripping with a murky liquid. All of a sudden, they felt a little scared.
The human before them was capable of killing them like he was cutting grass. If he were outside the stronghold, they could easily kill him by outnumbering him. However, there were only eight or nine Experintals inside the stronghold right now. As such, they actually felt they were the weaker side.
In the blink of an eye, this human had single-handedly stopped the final trump card in their wave of attacks on the stronghold.
Old Li and the others saw this scene from the edge of the stronghold walls. In a brief glimpse, they saw the shadow clone facing all the Experintals alone and even managing to seal off the tunnel.
Qin Sheng looked at the back of the “human” and suddenly felt the other party emanated an aura of invincibility.
Killing the Experintals was nothing surprising, but scaring them to the point of not daring to make a move was not sothing that just anyone could achieve.
From the beginning to the end, Ren Xiaosu did not participate in the battle personally. That was because it was enough for him to have the shadow clone fight on his behalf. anwhile, he was lying on the roof of a tall building in the distance where he could fire his sniper rifle at any mont.
However, Ren Xiaosu did not act rashly. His shadow clone was enough to deal with these Experintals. If he were to casually fire a shot and reveal the presence of a sniper here, it would be very easy for the Anjing House or the Pyro Company to associate it with Zhou Yingxue.
But that would still be very unlikely.
If it really beca necessary for him to take a shot, Ren Xiaosu would no longer care whether his actions would reveal anything.
Suddenly, Ren Xiaosu saw a young man rush against the flow of the crowd and towards the battlefield.
That person’s stride was delicate, and it did not look like he was a supernatural being. In fact, he might not have even gone through any physical training before, so after running for a while, he started panting heavily. Breathing in such a way could easily hurt the lungs.
There was a cara hanging from the young man’s neck as well as a dark blue badge. Ren Xiaosu could not see what was written on it, but he could guess the young man was probably a reporter.
The stronghold residents now understood the kinds of monsters they were facing. They had been complaining about how the Zhou Consortium had mobilized a large number of forces to tear down many of the residences in the city and built defensive fortifications in their place. They had even conscripted all of the adult n into the army, with only a small number of them escaping the call-ups. This made the residents of the stronghold very unhappy at that ti.
But when they personally saw how easily the Experintals could tear apart humans, they finally recognized what the Zhou Consortium troops did from the bottom of their hearts. Only when their own interests and lives were threatened did they understand the significance of the Zhou Consortium troops.
But while the residents were fleeing in a panic, a reporter was actually rushing towards the scene of the battle just so he could gather firsthand news to report about. Ren Xiaosu did not quite understand what went through the minds of these reporters.
A mont later, the Experintals in the underground tunnel seemingly retreated. anwhile, the Experintals facing the shadow clone suddenly tried to escape. They turned around and got far away from the shadow clone, the Experintals running to a manhole cover. One of them stretched out its gray hands and tried to pull open the manhole cover to get into the sewers.
However, the manhole cover did not budge!
If not for the fact that the Zhou Consortium troops had already welded the manhole covers shut in advance and stopped these Experintals from escaping into the sewers, their presence in the stronghold would probably contribute to extre instability later on. Who knew what they would do after they got back out?
If the Experintals hid in the sewers and escaped separately, not even the shadow clone could catch up to all of them.
The direction where the Experintals were escaping towards was where that young reporter was standing. There were not many residents around that reporter anymore as everyone had already fled.
He stood in a daze on the street and stopped in his tracks. When the young reporter saw the Experintals surrounding the manhole cover, he was astonished. But his reporter’s instinct kicked in, and he kept pressing the shutter button of the cara he was holding.
Behind those Experintals, the shadow clone had co chasing after them. The white mask the shadow clone was wearing looked extrely out of place in the cara’s viewfinder. The calm expression on the mask seed to form a stark contrast with the fleeing Experintals.
Of course, the welded manhole covers could not stop the Experintals. They used their arms to break the manhole cover apart. But just after they escaped inside, an explosion ca from the sewers. Ren Xiaosu had used Shadow Door to cast ten grenades beneath the manhole and forcefully blow them back up to the surface.
But they were still intact Experintals when they went in. By the ti they were blown back out, they had turned into fragnted pieces of Experintals.
Only at this mont did the Zhou Consortium’s ergency response force in the stronghold arrive.
