Ren Xiaosu hid in the shadows of the university's entrance and watched from afar.
The entire Western District of Stronghold 109 fell into an inexplicable frenzy due to the appearance of Li Shentan as an unknown factor.
At this moment, Yang Xiaojin, who was at a high vantage point, had the clearest view of the situation. At this time, when the lights were supposed to be lit, she saw almost a fifth of the city's population start rushing towards the university. The people on the ground were like moths flying into a flame as they sprinted through the streets in groups.
They were like a herd of wild animals.
She had told Ren Xiaosu before that once the Demon Whisperer was released, the entire stronghold would head into the unknown. No one could predict whether it would develop in a good or bad direction.
But now, this outcome was undoubtedly the worst-case scenario. A lot of people could not even imagine that the other party could create such a huge mess all by himself.
This was the era of the rise of supernatural beings, but many of the consortiums were still ignoring the changes supernatural beings could bring to this era.
Meanwhile, Li Shentan was using his actions to show the various forces just how destructive supernatural beings could be.
A powerful individual was gradually surpassing the power of a group.
When the crowd was about to reach the university, they suddenly sped up again. Some of the physically weaker people even collapsed to the ground halfway there.
But the people behind them did not seem to see anyone falling to the ground. They just stepped on the bodies of those who had fallen and continued rushing forward.
At the university, the Li Consortium's combat troops in charge of the fortifications were stunned when they saw this. It was not that they were not mentally strong enough, but that they had never imagined they would see such a hellish scene in the mortal world.
The officer in charge of the defense was the first to react. He immediately gave the first warning to open fire!
As a member of the Li Consortium, he instinctively chose to issue a warning instead of shooting them. That was because these residents were all under the Li Consortium's rule. If he mercilessly shot them to death, he would probably be cursed in the future.
When the Li Consortium faced the wrath of the people, they would definitely make him the scapegoat as the person who gave the order to open fire!
More importantly, he thought that as long as he gave the first warning shot, these people would stop in their tracks out of fear of firearms.
But he was wrong, very wrong!
Those crazy residents didn't have the slightest bit of fear. They had long since lost their sense of self.
The so-called essence of hypnosis was to make the hypnotized person completely surrender their own consciousness!
It was this officer's wrong decision that caused the Li Consortium's army to lose their best opportunity.
No, this officer's decision wasn't wrong. It was just that he had encountered a terrifying opponent that he had never encountered before.
By the time they realized that the warning was useless and were ready to shoot the residents, the residents were only ten meters away from the school gate.
"I can't wait any longer! Open fire and kill without mercy! "
Intense gunfire rang out as the soldiers of the Li Consortium pulled the trigger in fear.
However, as soon as they killed the first row of cannon fodder, the people behind them immediately stepped over the corpses of the people in front of them and rushed forward again. There was no fear at all!
In just one short minute, the seemingly tight fortifications at the school gate had been breached. The stream of people swept through the entire defensive position like a tidal wave. The seemingly impregnable defensive position was torn to pieces in an instant!
Not only that, a large number of residents climbed up the fence fearlessly.
One of the walls had collapsed!
When Ren Xiaosu saw this scene, his heart skipped a beat. Were these people crazy?!
But at this moment, the manhole cover under his feet suddenly moved.
Ren Xiaosu looked down and realized that he happened to be stepping on a manhole cover.
It was as if someone was trying to push the manhole cover up, but it didn't budge even after a long time. Then, Luo Lan's exasperated voice came from inside. "Those bastards from the Li Consortium actually sealed the manhole cover. Come, let's try another spot."
Ren Xiaosu had a strange expression on his face. He walked forward for more than ten meters and stood on another manhole cover. However, Luo Lan's voice came from inside the manhole cover again. "F * ck! This one's been sealed too! "
But before Ren Xiaosu could laugh, he suddenly heard Fatty Luo shouting from underground, "Fucking blow up this manhole cover!"
Ren Xiaosu hurriedly said, "Come on up, there's no need to blow it up."
After Ren Xiaosu stepped back, a gap was quickly lifted open. Luo Lan's beady eyes happened to meet Ren Xiaosu's through the gap.
"So it's you, kid." Luo Lan got out of the manhole in a huff. His fat body was nearly stuck at the mouth of the manhole. It was only after someone pushed him from below that he managed to get out.
Ren Xiaosu asked, "Are you guys born in the year of the mouse? Why are you always crawling around down there?"
"What do you know?" Luo Lan said disdainfully, "We're just being far-sighted. When they built this stronghold, our people were already part of the design team. Even the Li Consortium is not as familiar with this stronghold as we are. Don't you think it's awesome to be able to move around freely down there without anyone noticing? "
"It's awesome." Ren Xiaosu nodded. "It's just that it's a little smelly …."
Over a hundred Kyung Clan combatants climbed out of the manhole one after another. All of them were armed to the teeth, and one of them even carried an RPG on his back!
Ren Xiaosu was stunned. "Y 'all are also planning to attack this campus?"
"That's for sure. The Li Consortium treasures this thing so much, so of course we want to know what it is," Luo Lan said angrily.
"Speaking of which, why are y 'all so eager to snatch it when you don't even know what it is?" Ren Xiaosu asked.
"We know the general direction." Luo Lan said, "It might be nanomachines …."
Ren Xiaosu said with a dark expression, "Can you be a little more certain about your tone?"
Luo Lan also said unhappily, "The Li Consortium has done a very good job of keeping it a secret. Everyone is just guessing. But in the field of nanomachines, the Li Consortium is at the forefront of all the consortiums. While we're still stuck at the experimental stage, their nanomachines can already be used in the medical industry. "
Fatty Luo continued, "In the early years, they created nanomachines made of DNA molecules that can remove blood clots and the like. In the past, some of the big shots from the other consortiums would come to the Li Consortium for treatment when they got old. They also have nanomachines that can cure hepatitis C completely. These are all the main areas of research for the Li Consortium. "
Ren Xiaosu was puzzled. Even the hepatitis virus was involved? "Why? Is the Kyung Clan thinking of entering the medical industry?"
