Clear footsteps rang out in the dark but spacious sewers. It was different from the narrow space Ren Xiaosu had imagined. The sewers under Stronghold 109 were designed according to the specifications of a bomb shelter.
When the strongholds were built in the early years, people were still living in the shadow of The Cataclysm. So when the strongholds were built, many of the designs were directly designed to deal with what to do if they were to encounter another war.
Therefore, when Stronghold 109 was designed, the main sewers were all designed to be as spacious as a bomb shelter.
Of course, only the main sewers were designed this way.
A black shadow was walking in the sewers with the unconscious Yang Xiaojin on its left shoulder and Ren Xiaosu, who was in pain, on its right shoulder.
Ren Xiaosu was also injured. Blood dripped down from his dangling arm and dripped into the murky sewage.
Seemingly attracted by the blood, large rats in the sewers peeked at the shadow and the two wounded people on its shoulders in the dark.
But for some reason, the rats did not dare to attack.
Ren Xiaosu was not only suffering from his own injuries, but also from the bite the shadow clone had endured during the battle. All of that was transmitted to him through the shadow clone.
This was probably the most intense battle Ren Xiaosu had fought so far. At first, he thought he would only be facing six Experimentals. But when the battle started, he realized the remaining four or five Experimentals in the building had also been attracted here.
At that time, several of the Experimentals were kicked off the building and fell to their deaths. There were no corpses left on the rooftop. Therefore, Luo Xinyu had also misjudged the situation when she arrived at the battlefield.
In Luo Xinyu's opinion, a supernatural being who could kill six Experimentals at the same time was already terrifying enough. She did not even dare to think any further.
In this era where supernatural beings had just risen to prominence, everyone was still groping their way forward in the realm of supernatural beings. Unless it was a natural genius like Li Shentan, it would be very difficult for an individual to overcome the disparity in numbers.
In other words, there was no one in the current era who could truly ignore the number of enemies. Supernatural beings were not that powerful yet. Otherwise, they would not have been hunted down by the consortiums and forced to hide all over the world.
However, all Transcendent organizations had a consensus, and that was that such a powerful individual would be born sooner or later.
As the shadow walked on the ground, Yang Xiaojin suddenly woke up. She was so sore that she could not even lift her body. "Ren Xiaosu?"
The voice was abrupt in the empty sewer. Ren Xiaosu replied dispiritedly, "Hmm?"
"Where are we?" Yang Xiaojin asked.
"That's a good question," Ren Xiaosu replied. "In a broad sense, we're currently in the sewers. If you want to be specific, I'm not too sure where we are right now …"
Yang Xiaojin instantly judged that Ren Xiaosu might have been injured as well. But judging from his nonstop rambling, his injuries shouldn't be too serious …
At this moment, the shadow clone stopped in its tracks. It had finally found a dry platform where it could put Yang Xiaojin and Ren Xiaosu down.
Yang Xiaojin and Ren Xiaosu were sitting on the ground leaning against the wall. Ren Xiaosu took out a candle, lit it, and placed it on the ground. He asked, "Why didn't Luo Xinyu come to pick you up this time?"
"Something might have happened." Yang Xiaojin recovered a little. "If there weren't any accidents, she would have definitely come."
Ren Xiaosu had not given up on concealing his identity yet. He said to the shadow clone, "Thank you, Old Xu …"
Yang Xiaojin laughed. "My wound hurts a lot right now, so don't make me laugh."
"Old Xu came all the way back from more than a hundred kilometers away just to save us. Shouldn't we be thanking him?" Ren Xiaosu said righteously.
"We secretly installed a tracker on Xu Xianchu." Yang Xiaojin explained, "He just passed through the Tungsten Mountains this morning and continued heading in the direction of Stronghold 178 in the Northwest. That's the direction you told him to go, right? I remember you mentioning Zhang Jinglin before, but I didn't think too much about it at the time. I just felt that the name sounded familiar, but I wasn't sure if it was the one I knew."
Ren Xiaosu said angrily, "What right do y 'all have to place a tracker on Old Xu!"
"Don't change the subject." Yang Xiaojin said softly, "That's why I've been wondering about something. The person I saw in the Jing Mountains was clearly you, but the Kyung Clan Consortium never put you on the wanted list. Instead, they kept offering a huge bounty on Xu Xianchu …."
Ren Xiaosu said guiltily, "It's got nothing to do with me. Don't slander me."
"So your superpower is to copy other people's superpowers, right?" Yang Xiaojin asked softly, "You've also copied mine before. I've studied it carefully, and the angle at which you raise your gun is exactly the same as mine. There's no deviation at all."
Previously, Yang Xiaojin always felt that Ren Xiaosu's action of raising his gun was strangely familiar. It was as though she was looking at a male version of herself. It wasn't until now that she understood what was going on.
At this moment, Yang Xiaojin did not know how to evaluate Ren Xiaosu's superpower. There was a widely acknowledged fact among supernatural beings' organizations: A supernatural being could not have two superpowers at the same time.
But Ren Xiaosu was different. His superpower had already surpassed two.
They were all supernatural beings, but the superpower they had awakened to after so much difficulty could be easily copied by someone else. In fact, it was even stronger than the person who had been copied. This was so infuriating.
For example, Xu Xianchu's shadow clone was not as strong as Ren Xiaosu's.
Therefore, Yang Xiaojin felt that … Ren Xiaosu's superpower was superior to that of the other supernatural beings.
Following that, Yang Xiaojin continued, "So it was also thanks to you that Luo Xinyu's bounty was suddenly raised a few days ago."
Ren Xiaosu really could not admit to it. "That's not true! I don't admit to it! "
It was not that he was worried others would find out he had framed Luo Xinyu, but he did not want Yang Xiaojin to find out that he had made a mistake while copying his superpower. Other people could just take someone away with them, but he could only take an arm with him.
Wouldn't it be embarrassing to say it out loud?
"So you admit to everything else?" Yang Xiaojin chuckled.
Ren Xiaosu thought he could not just let Yang Xiaojin expose him, so he had to retaliate. He suddenly said, "Let's think about how we're going to get out of this stronghold first. I've come up with a plan. Although we can run faster, we don't have the stamina to run too far at full speed. That's why we'll need a means of transportation. I know where there's a bicycle parked. Don't you know how to ride a bicycle? When you've recovered from your injuries, you can ride the bicycle and run away with me. "
Yang Xiaojin paused for a moment before saying calmly, "Alright, stop testing me. I don't know how to ride a bicycle either."
"Hahahahaha." Ren Xiaosu lowered his voice and started laughing. Yang Xiaojin, to think you'd have such a day!
"I'll just laugh a few times," Yang Xiaojin said calmly.
