However, Li Shentan suddenly laughed and said, "I know that something terrifying is heading towards Stronghold 109. The Li Consortium's troops, who were supposed to be the main force of the stronghold's garrison, are now holed up in a university because of your arrival. Who's going to defend the city when those terrifying things arrive? Guess how many people will die at their hands? And who's going to take responsibility for that? "
"The Saboteurs, the Kyung Clan, the Yang Clan, and the Pyro Company." Li Shentan asked, "Which one of you is qualified to criticize me?"
Luo Xinyu remained silent.
"We're all sinners," Li Shentan said with a sigh.
"Since you've gotten your revenge, can you stop now?" Luo Xinyu said, "You have to believe that justice might be late at times, but it's never absent."
Li Shentan laughed as though he had heard something funny. "That's not the original meaning of that famous saying. The original meaning is: Justice that's late is no longer justice."
Luo Xinyu suddenly asked, "What do you think the essence of a supernatural being is?"
"Didn't you Saboteurs say it very well?" Li Shentan smiled. "When a disaster strikes, willpower is the number one weapon humans have in the face of danger. But my understanding of willpower is … the development of the brain. "
Luo Xinyu said calmly, "But the development of the brain was already proven false before The Cataclysm."
"Things that haven't been rigorously proven are just rumors. Humans still haven't figured out which part of the brain corresponds to emotions, so how could they dare say that they have a complete understanding of the brain?" Li Shentan said in a serious tone, "But I'm still not sure if supernatural beings have developed a new area of the brain or if they've completed the so-called percentage increase in development. For now, it's better to refer to it as willpower."
"Then according to what you said," Luo Xinyu said, "the stronger a supernatural being is, the closer they are to self-destruction."
"That's how it works in theory." Li Shentan said, "When a human's brain reaches 100% development, it's very likely that they'll manifest the will of a god. Their bodies will also disintegrate because they can't become the carrier of this massive will. Or perhaps this will happen when their brain reaches 70% development."
However, Li Shentan suddenly thought of a young man. He seemed a little puzzled. "But there seems to be an exception. So the question we're discussing now doesn't have any practical significance. We'll only know the answer when humans have really evolved to that stage."
After that, Li Shentan ignored Luo Xinyu and continued leading Si Liren towards the university. He wanted to personally witness the destruction of the Li Consortium's troops in Stronghold 109.
Luo Xinyu didn't continue to ask, because she had more important things to do, and it was almost too late.
Even a secretive and powerful organization like the Saboteurs couldn't know all the secrets of this world. She needed to record every word of today's discussion so that the people in the organization could adjust to a new research direction.
But at this moment, a commotion broke out in the quiet districts of the stronghold. It was as though something extremely frightening had happened. Everyone who knew what was going on was shocked. The Experimentals had arrived early!
Luo Xinyu ignored them and stood outside the school. She closed the Shadow Door next to Li Shentan. When she opened it again, she leaped into it.
With just one step, Luo Xinyu arrived at a closed laboratory that gave off a sense of technology. Luo Xinyu looked around at her surroundings.
What she was looking for was right here.
Luo Xinyu was on high alert with a gun in hand, in case the security guards in the laboratory posed a threat to her. However, she didn't know where the people in the laboratory had gone. It seemed like they had fled in panic due to the chaos outside.
The entire laboratory was empty.
At this moment, she saw a portable hard drive locked inside a transparent bulletproof glass case. Luo Xinyu raised her hand and fired continuously, shattering the glass case. She was about to take the hard drive and open the Shadow Door.
But a moment later, the ceiling of the laboratory suddenly lit up. The entire interior of the laboratory was as bright as day, and there were no blind spots at all!
Luo Xinyu tried to open the Shadow Door to leave, but it could not take shape in the presence of the shadowless lamp!
The Shadow Door she opened was only left with a faint shadow. Then it flickered a few times and disappeared like a bubble.
There were anti-theft measures in this laboratory that were specifically designed to counter her superpower!
Luo Xinyu frowned and was about to open the door to the laboratory. But she realized she did not even know how to open the steel door, which was several centimeters thick.
To be honest, Luo Xinyu suddenly felt a little helpless. This was the first time she had encountered a method that was specifically designed to counter her!
But she was not worried about herself at this moment. Instead, she was worried about Yang Xiaojin, who was waiting for her on the rooftop of the building!
…
Ren Xiaosu carried his bicycle and ran at the front of the group. Along the way, they saw several residents controlled by Li Shentan running past them. However, those residents did not even spare them a glance.
The students were a little scared when they saw how crazy those people were. Ren Xiaosu tried to comfort them. "Don't be afraid. The entire Western District is like this. They won't attack us."
When the students thought about how the entire Western District was like this, they became even more scared.
In less than two minutes, Ren Xiaosu and the others arrived at the stronghold's steel gate. At this moment, the stronghold's internal alarms were sounded. It was as though something terrifying had attacked the stronghold.
Or rather, those terrifying things had actually arrived a long time ago. It was only now that the chaos had started that they launched an all-out attack.
The Experimentals had breached the stronghold's sewage system from the outside and infiltrated into the stronghold. However, they were not in a hurry to attack and chose to lie low.
Right now, they felt the time was right.
Luo Lan should be very glad that he had only walked a short distance underground today. Otherwise, he might have been pleasantly surprised to encounter a large group of Experimentals.
At this moment, the private troops responsible for guarding the stronghold's steel gate also rushed to the university after the bell rang. There was no one around.
Yan Liuyuan frowned and said, "Bro, how do we open the steel gate?"
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and said, "It's fine, I have a bomb."
Yan Liuyuan and the others looked at Ren Xiaosu expectantly. Then they watched as Ren Xiaosu took out four "3" playing cards from his pocket.
Wang Fugui was speechless.
Wang Dalong was speechless.
Chen Wudi was speechless.
So this was the legendary bomb? Could this thing blow up the steel gate?
What? What if you threw four "3" s at the steel gate, and the steel gate said "no" and it would open?!
Yan Liuyuan's face darkened. "Bro, can you be a little more serious at a time like this?"
"Don't panic, it won't be a big problem!" As Ren Xiaosu spoke, he waved his hand for the others to retreat. Meanwhile, he stuck the four of them on the steel gate and ran far away.
Ren Xiaosu said in his mind, "Blow it up!"
Suddenly, an astonishing burst of heat and light erupted from the four poker cards stuck on the steel gate. With a loud boom, a cloud of dust and smoke rose up from the steel gate.
After the boom, the unparalleled energy of the explosion kicked up a huge cloud of dust and sent it flying in the opposite direction. Debris from the steel gate flew everywhere. Yan Liuyuan and the others could even feel the ground trembling!
Ren Xiaosu poked his head out to take a look. "It's done!"
A huge hole had been blasted through the steel gate!
Wang Fugui was shocked. So playing Fight the Landlord was actually this dangerous?!
"Everyone, hurry up and get out of the city. We're heading north," Ren Xiaosu said as he prepared to lead the way and run for their lives. As for what happened in the stronghold, it really had nothing to do with him.
But when he turned around to take another look at the stronghold, he saw more than a dozen Experimentals climbing up like spiders outside the building where Yang Xiaojin was. Ren Xiaosu was stunned. Why didn't Luo Xinyu come to rescue Yang Xiaojin?!
This was different from what he had imagined. Based on usual practice, Yang Xiaojin's group should have had the easiest time of retreating.
But now, Yang Xiaojin was on the rooftop of a ten-story building. She was like a lone boat in the middle of a dark ocean!
She could capsize at any moment!
Ren Xiaosu only hesitated for a moment before turning around and saying firmly to Wang Fugui and the others, "You guys go first. I have to make a trip back to the stronghold! Chen Wudi, protect everyone! "
When Wang Fugui heard Ren Xiaosu say that, he panicked. "Xiaosu, the stronghold can't accommodate anyone alive anymore."
Ren Xiaosu looked at them and said firmly, "Head north and don't look back! I'll catch up to y 'all! "
With that, Ren Xiaosu turned around and walked back into the city that had turned into a living hell.
Actually, Ren Xiaosu himself did not know why he had come back.
Perhaps it was because he came from the wilderness and felt a sense of familiarity with wild animals, so he wanted to keep them company.
Or perhaps it was because he liked the night view in this city and wanted to see more of the scenery here.
Or perhaps it was because he had forgotten his wallet or something?
Alright, Ren Xiaosu knew these were all lousy reasons. Perhaps he just didn't want that girl to die here.
Ren Xiaosu ran faster and faster, his clothes flapping in the wind like a male lion on the hunt.
He looked up at the top of the building, and the girl seemed to be looking back at him quietly.
The chaotic gunfire around him and the Experimentals that were preying on people made this world seem a little absurd.
The dark sky looked like it was about to split in half.
But none of that mattered.
Wait for me.
