Ren Xiaosu retracted his shadow clone and climbed back up to the roof. He saw Xu Xianchu sitting on the roof, panting violently. Meanwhile, his opponent was completely dead. Even his neck was twisted like a fried dough twist.
Ren Xiaosu looked at a tall building in the distance and waved in that direction. Then he said to Xu Xianchu, "Go to our place to take a shower and get changed. You'll have to eat your fill before setting off if you want to go to Stronghold 178."
Xu Xianchu was touched. "Thank you!"
"Gratitude received from Xu Xianchu, + 1!"
Ren Xiaosu really wanted to tell Xu Xianchu to stay behind and just say thank you every day.
But Xu Xianchu immediately said, "But I can't stay here any longer. After tonight's battle, the entire stronghold might be locked down even more thoroughly. When that happens, it won't be realistic for me to leave. So now's the best time to leave."
Ren Xiaosu said regretfully, "Aren't you going to wait a little longer?"
"I'll only be a burden to you if I stay behind." Xu Xianchu said sincerely, "Ren Xiaosu, we'll meet again if fate wills it!"
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment before nodding and saying, "We might meet again at Stronghold 178. Take care!"
After that, Xu Xianchu left without looking back. As for how he would leave the stronghold, it did not seem to be a difficult task for Xu Xianchu, a former officer of the private army.
At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps could be heard coming from the distance. It looked like the people from the stronghold were about to arrive.
Right now, Ren Xiaosu really hoped that the various forces in the stronghold would quickly start fighting each other. When that happened, no one would have the energy to care about him anymore.
After Ren Xiaosu and the others left, the security team from the stronghold's Public Order Division finally arrived. They quickly cordoned off the scene and sent someone to inform the Li Consortium.
Based on the traces of battle on the battlefield, it was obvious that something was wrong. This was not a battle between normal people but a battle between supernatural beings.
Furthermore, the Pyro Company logo on the clothes of the deceased made the Public Order Division's personnel understand that this was no longer something they could intervene in.
In fact, the people from the Public Order Division also knew it had not been peaceful recently. With the massacre at No. 4 Psychiatric Hospital and the explosion caused by the Pyro Company trying to capture supernatural beings, even a fool would know it was best not to get involved if they wanted to live.
As a matter of fact, the Public Order Division was made up of ordinary people, and the firearms they were equipped with were all small-caliber ones. These guns might work against normal thieves, but if they encountered supernatural beings, they would definitely die a horrible death.
On the rooftop of a tall building in the distance, Yang Xiaojin had just put away her gun. Luo Xinyu was leaning on the railing next to her and said curiously, "Don't you find it strange? Although they're not the main force of Midnight's squad, that kid killed them way too easily. Did we underestimate him too much?"
"Mhm." Yang Xiaojin looked at the battlefield in the distance and thought about something. "It was indeed a little unexpected. I thought his combat prowess wasn't that high, but I didn't expect him to be able to take on three people by himself. Although I didn't see the battle in the alley, if Xu Xianchu was only facing one person, then Ren Xiaosu must have been facing three people."
"It's standard for Midnight to move in groups of five. They've always liked to fight with numbers." Luo Xinyu said in a bored manner, "But they accidentally failed this time. I reckon they'll understand something after this. In the face of a supernatural being, numbers are no longer enough to overcome absolute strength."
"I wanted to open up a way for him to escape." Yang Xiaojin was also a little surprised. "But I didn't expect his plan to be to kill everyone in Midnight's squad."
"That kid is very bloodthirsty." Luo Xinyu said, "You can see it from his eyes on the Jing Mountain Road. As long as there's a threat, he subconsciously wants to eliminate it. Supernatural beings who come from the wilderness have always been more ruthless than those who live in the stronghold. "
Yang Xiaojin said, "I guess it's because of the environment he grew up in. He's just trying to survive."
"Why are you in such a hurry to explain for him?" Luo Xinyu said in amusement, "That kid is already very powerful on his own, and he also has Chen Wudi, whose combat strength is unknown, by his side. This is already a very strong group. Should we divert the attention of the Li Consortium and your Yang clan to them so that we can distract them?"
"They just want to live a good life in the stronghold. Don't cause them any trouble for no reason," Yang Xiaojin said calmly.
"Hahahahaha." Luo Xinyu laughed. Actually, she was not really thinking of doing anything. She just wanted to test the waters.
Yang Xiaojin said calmly, "It's a little strange. Even now, no one knows what his superpower is."
Luo Xinyu asked, "Don't you know what his superpower is?"
"How would I know?" Yang Xiaojin glanced at Luo Xinyu.
"You two are so close. Didn't he tell you about it?" Luo Xinyu chuckled and said, "You're deskmates. One of you is a school commissary, and the other is the class monitor."
Yang Xiaojin glanced at her. "The Li Consortium's troops will be here soon. Let's go."
"Alright, alright." Luo Xinyu activated the Shadow Door and led Yang Xiaojin away from the rooftop in a flash.
Tonight, even Yang Xiaojin and Luo Xinyu had a new understanding of Ren Xiaosu. They had guessed Ren Xiaosu was a supernatural being, but they did not expect Ren Xiaosu to be this strong.
Ren Xiaosu had a strange feeling when he was fighting Ling Chen. He felt that Ling Chen was very exaggerated. She was clearly not that powerful, yet she had to put on an act.
But in reality, there was a misunderstanding. The other party was actually quite famous. As a matter of fact, this combat team had already successfully captured three supernatural beings.
Usually, this team was considered the main force of the Pyro Company's second echelon.
…
That night, the Li Consortium suddenly imposed martial law on the entire stronghold. During this critical period, they even ordered a curfew. Any residents who went out after 10 PM would be arrested as criminals!
Initially, the Li Consortium did not want to disperse their forces. They wanted to protect the research results with all their might. After all, that was the most important thing at the moment.
But the frequency of incidents happening in the stronghold was getting higher and higher. No matter how tolerant they were, they could not sit still any longer.
In fact, Luo Lan and the others were constantly stirring up trouble because they wanted the Li Consortium to be overwhelmed and eventually disperse their forces.
Meanwhile, Ren Xiaosu and the others' battle tonight had caused the Li Consortium to completely explode.
Before dawn, large groups of soldiers were already patrolling the streets. If they discovered any suspicious people, they would even step forward to interrogate them.
The private troops and the Public Order Division had all stopped their vacation, and the Li Consortium's fighting forces had also deployed a third of their forces. It was as though a war was about to break out in the stronghold. The originally loose strings were now stretched taut.
Ren Xiaosu could sense the tense atmosphere outside the shop. It was as though a storm was brewing in the stronghold.
