On the way back to the stronghold, Wang Yuchi and the others finally heaved a sigh of relief. That was because Li Qingzheng was now the driver.
In the past, everyone did not think Li Qingzheng was that important. It wasn't until they were punished by Ren Xiaosu's crazy driving skills that everyone started missing Li Qingzheng.
Thinking about it carefully, everyone felt it was necessary to save Li Qingzheng. With how fast Ren Xiaosu was driving, who knew when he would get into an accident?
Ren Xiaosu calculated the time and said to Li Qingzheng, "It'll take about 40 minutes to get back to the stronghold. That's how long it took to get here. Moreover, your driving skills are not as good as mine, so you'll definitely be a little slower."
Li Qingzheng turned his head and looked at Ren Xiaosu in a daze. He did not know where Ren Xiaosu got the confidence to say something like that.
Ren Xiaosu continued, "Li Shentan said his troops will attack in an hour. We should still be able to make it back to the stronghold in time."
When Li Qingzheng heard this, he stepped on the accelerator again and asked, "Why didn't you persuade that madman not to attack the stronghold?"
Ren Xiaosu fell silent for a moment. Yang Xiaojin had mentioned Li Shentan's parentage to him after they escaped from Stronghold 109. So he knew very well why Li Shentan was targeting the Li Consortium.
After he told Li Qingzheng about this, Ren Xiaosu said, "If I could persuade him, I would've done so long ago. But no one can stop him. He's too determined to get revenge. Besides, he lost his mother because of the Li Consortium, so who has the right to persuade him to let go of his hatred? Putting myself in his shoes, if it were me, the Li Consortium would've been wiped out a long time ago. "
What Li Shentan wanted was not just simple revenge. He wanted to drag the entire Li Consortium to hell.
Although Ren Xiaosu did not agree with Li Shentan's actions and would not stand on the same side as Li Shentan, he understood how Li Shentan felt.
"But no matter what, I still have to beat him up if I have the chance," Ren Xiaosu added seriously.
The car entered the stronghold 50 minutes later. Just as Ren Xiaosu had said, Li Qingzheng drove a little slower.
After entering the stronghold, it was still some distance from the north gate to Baoyuan Alley where Yan Liuyuan and the others were. It looked like they would have to drive for another 40 minutes or so.
Ren Xiaosu had been urging Li Qingzheng along the way, "Hurry up, we won't make it!"
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu was burning with anxiety. If they did not make it to Baoyuan Alley by the time the stronghold descended into chaos, it would be troublesome for them to look for Yan Liuyuan and the others.
Even though he knew that it was too late, Ren Xiaosu was unwilling to give up.
But as the truck sped through the streets of the stronghold, Ren Xiaosu started counting the time and wondered, "That's not right. It's already been an hour, so why is nothing happening yet?"
Only then did Ren Xiaosu realize what was going on. "Fuck, that bastard lied to me!"
If it was really as Li Shentan had said, that the consciousness of the hypnotized person would not be affected by anything after being hypnotized, then Li Shentan's brigade should have launched an attack by now. But they had not.
"It looks like we're not in as much of a hurry as we thought." Ren Xiaosu heaved a sigh of relief and said, "But we still have to get Liuyuan and the others out of here quickly. Stronghold 108 has become a troublesome place, and we don't know when it'll turn into a purgatory."
As they had just arrived at Stronghold 108, they were not very familiar with the roads. Fortunately, some of the students had gone to the grocery store next door to buy a map of the stronghold during lunch. With Ren Xiaosu guiding them from the side, Li Qingzheng drove without any distractions.
"We're here, this is the place!" Ren Xiaosu shouted. When the vehicle came to a complete stop, he immediately jumped out and headed into Baoyuan Alley to search for them. He saw a plaque in a courtyard with the Chinese character "Ren" and the Chinese character "Yan" written on it. Ren Xiaosu immediately understood Yan Liuyuan had done this to make it easier for him to find them.
Knock, knock, knock. Ren Xiaosu anxiously knocked on the door and shouted, "Open up, it's me!"
Someone in the courtyard jogged over to open the door. When the door opened, Ren Xiaosu saw Yan Liuyuan inside. But before he could go in, Yan Liuyuan suddenly said calmly, "Who are you looking for?"
Ren Xiaosu was not a fool. There was no way Yan Liuyuan would not know who he was. If he said that, something must have happened! There were enemies around!
Ren Xiaosu asked, "Is there anyone at home? I'm looking for a friend named Xinfeng. "
"You must be looking for the wrong person. There's no such person at home. He might be next door," Yan Liuyuan said.
When Ren Xiaosu asked if there was anyone at home, he meant to ask if the enemy was in the courtyard. Yan Liuyuan indicated that he was not there and that the enemy was next door!
Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, "Alright, I'll go next door and ask."
As he said that, he walked to the courtyard next door and knocked on the door. The door opened immediately as if the person who opened the door was standing guard at the door.
The moment the door opened, Ren Xiaosu suddenly reached out and grabbed the neck of the person who opened the door. When he exerted force, there was a crisp click!
At this moment, the other party probably did not expect that Ren Xiaosu would not give him any leeway at all. The moment he made his move, it was so clean and efficient.
The sound of guns being loaded came from inside the courtyard. Ren Xiaosu immediately covered his entire body with his armor. In an instant, intense gunfire rang out in the courtyard as the bullets smashed the wooden door of the courtyard into smithereens!
Ren Xiaosu braved the gunfire and rushed inside. There were three other people inside, and each of them was a nanosoldier. There was also a man and a woman tied up in a corner. They were probably the original owners of the house.
But Ren Xiaosu charged in and pushed one of the nanosoldiers into the wall with just a single move. Even the wall was smashed into pieces!
One of the nanosoldiers drew his saber and slashed at Ren Xiaosu. Another nanosoldier shouted into his radio, "Reinforcements! Requesting reinforcements! "
They were not stupid. Seeing a ferocious beast covered in mechanical armor suddenly barging in, the nanosoldiers knew this was not a situation they could handle!
The signal for reinforcements had already been sent out, but it was a little too late for anyone to come to their rescue. Ren Xiaosu used his black saber to cut the oncoming nanosword in half before stabbing it through the chest of the nanosoldier in front of him.
When he exerted more force with his leg, Ren Xiaosu did not even have to draw his saber. He just charged forward with the corpse on his saber and nailed the last nanosoldier to the wall!
Ren Xiaosu exhaled after removing his armor. He turned around and saw Yan Liuyuan and his Sister Xiaoyu quietly watching him kill the nanosoldiers from behind the shattered wall.
Everyone was still surprised by the armored man in front of them. But a moment later, they realized it was actually Ren Xiaosu. To be honest, even Yan Liuyuan had never seen Ren Xiaosu like this before.
It was just that the way Ren Xiaosu had killed the nanosoldiers earlier was so natural and smooth. The strength he revealed during the battle was too shocking.
Ren Xiaosu said, "Stop watching and pack up. We have to leave Stronghold 108 immediately!"
