Words:1736Update:22/06/29 12:33:55
The battle in the wilderness was very intense. The private army had not expected that they would encounter the wolf pack so early. Those wolves seemed to have been lying in ambush ahead of time. They were fierce and cunning.
At first, they thought they could scare off the wolves by firing at them. But they were wrong. This time, the wolves did not panic when they heard the gunshots!
When the wolves arrived in front of them, the private army was shocked to find that these wolves were even bigger than they remembered. They were as big as bison!
Wait a minute, these wolves attacked the factory first and then stood guard in the path that the private army had to pass through. Why did it seem like their original target was the private army?
However, the private army had also been trained. They quickly retracted their formation and started defending at the first sign of casualties. Compared to the fangs and claws of wild beasts, firearms and explosives were still superior!
The private army had dealt with the wolves more than once. It was only in recent years that they slowly relaxed their plans to encircle the wolves after receiving instructions from the higher-ups. Of course, this also gave the wolves time to catch their breath.
Ren Xiaosu listened to the gunshots. For some reason, he found the crisp sound pleasing to his ears. It was so loud that his adrenaline started pumping and he became very excited.
He did not peek at the scene of the battle up close. He only knew that since the wolves and the private army were fighting, the factory should be safe.
Ren Xiaosu ran like a cheetah in the wilderness. This was the first time he was fully experiencing his new strength and dexterity.
His muscle fibers tightened over and over again before relaxing again and again. This feeling could only be described as carefree.
When he got close to the factory, Ren Xiaosu finally slowed down. He hid in the darkness and approached silently. At this moment, Ren Xiaosu was surprised to discover the corpses of many refugees. It seemed like the refugees were trying to escape into town, but the wolves caught up to them one by one.
Only a few lucky ones managed to escape at the expense of their companions.
Ren Xiaosu deliberately observed their wounds. It looked like they had all been killed by the wolves biting their necks. The wolves did not eat the corpses either. It seemed like they had left in a hurry.
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment. He did not enter the factory through the main entrance but climbed up the pipes outside the factory. Every time he passed by a window, he would carefully check if there were any survivors inside.
When Ren Xiaosu climbed to the top, he felt a chill in his heart. It seemed like there was no one alive in the factory. The wolf pack had swept through the entire factory, and no one was spared.
Where are the guns? Ren Xiaosu thought that the factory manager would definitely not put them in a place where others could easily get them.
Ren Xiaosu broke through the glass on the top floor and jumped in. He looked around. The corridor was full of blood and dead bodies. The huge factory had turned into a living hell.
However, Ren Xiaosu suddenly realized that something was wrong. All the corpses seemed to be running in the same direction, as if something was guiding them.
What would attract people to run in the same direction in a crisis?
Ren Xiaosu had his own judgment. That place was either where the weapons were stored or a place to hide.
He followed this path all the way down to the basement level. This is … an emergency shelter?
The further he went, the more corpses there were. Ren Xiaosu could imagine how everyone had run in panic when they were faced with the wolves. They wanted to escape to a safe place, but they were not as fast as the wolves.
Ren Xiaosu came to a metal gate. Sure enough, the people were fleeing here because they wanted to get through this metal gate. No matter how much the wolves evolved, they were still made of flesh and blood. It would still be quite difficult for them to break through this metal gate that was several inches thick.
He wondered if there were still people behind this iron gate. Ren Xiaosu thought for a long time. He raised his fist and hit the gate three times.
At this moment, someone shouted joyfully from behind the iron gate, "Is it the army? You've finally come to save me. I'll open the gate now!"
The rhythmic knocking on the gate was very clear. This was not the habit of wild animals, so the people inside thought that Ren Xiaosu was part of the army that had come to their rescue.
With a creak, the iron gate swung open to reveal a middle-aged man inside. His leg was injured, and his trousers were stained red with blood. Even opening the gate required him to support himself with one foot.
But the moment the gate opened, both parties moved. Ren Xiaosu bent down and was about to rush over. But when the middle-aged man saw that it was not the army, his first reaction was to raise his pistol!
The air suddenly froze. Ren Xiaosu stopped in front of the middle-aged man because the black muzzle of the pistol was pressed against his forehead.
"Hehe." The middle-aged man laughed and said, "So it's just a petty thief who's here to take advantage of the situation. I recognize you. You're Ren Xiaosu from town."
Ren Xiaosu also recognized him. This middle-aged man was the factory manager, Wang Dongyang.
"I recognize you too." Ren Xiaosu straightened his back and said nonchalantly, "Why are you the only one inside? No … you were the first to escape here and close the gate to keep the others out! "
When Ren Xiaosu said this, he felt a chill run down his spine. It was no wonder there were bloody handprints on the iron gate outside. So it was the result of the refugees banging on the gate in a frenzy. Once the iron gate was sealed from the inside, it could not be opened from the outside by normal means.
Wang Dongyang said with a smile, "Don't worry about it. If you carry me back to town now, I'll spare your life."
"What if I don't?" Ren Xiaosu also laughed.
"Then I'll just shoot you and lock the gate. I'll continue waiting for the army to come and save me. I'm from the stronghold, so they'll have to come and save me," Wang Dongyang said.
"You must be afraid that I'll tell others about how you sold everyone out to survive, right?" Ren Xiaosu continued to say with a smile.
Wang Dongyang sneered. The pistol had given him great courage, and he was now fearless. "How did you know?"
Ren Xiaosu pondered it. "No one knows a son better than his father?"
Wang Dongyang was speechless.
The factory manager immediately got angry. "Do you think I won't dare to kill you?"
"There's one more thing I know," Ren Xiaosu said slowly.
"What?" Wang Dongyang had an ominous feeling.
"I know that you didn't turn off the safety on this gun, and it's too late for you to do so now."
Wang Dongyang's pupils constricted. He had thought it was the army outside earlier, so he did not think too much about it. But when he saw Ren Xiaosu, Ren Xiaosu had rushed over so decisively that he did not even have time to turn off the safety!
He had thought he could easily scare Ren Xiaosu, because he felt that a refugee like Ren Xiaosu would not know the structure of a gun since he had never seen one before and would only feel fear.
In the end, Ren Xiaosu happened to know more about guns than most people in Stronghold 113!
