"Bro, what's going on?" Yan Liuyuan asked.
During this period of time, they did not have many channels to obtain news from the front lines while they were in the stronghold. The entire stronghold was in a very isolated state. The radio broadcasts had stopped, and there was no mention of the war in the newspapers.
However, Yan Liuyuan suddenly realized the people next door had changed. Usually, the man and woman next door would leave for work at 7 AM. But today, they did not. This alerted Yan Liuyuan.
It was not that he was being overly paranoid, but that they had to pay attention to any "abnormalities" in their current environment.
But Ren Xiaosu did not have the time to explain. The nanosoldiers had already sent out a distress signal, and the legendary mysterious troops would probably arrive here soon. He waved at Yan Liuyuan. "There's no time to explain. Get in the truck."
The truck was parked by the roadside. No one in the yard said a word, and their luggage had already been prepared. It was as though they had expected to leave at any moment.
Ren Xiaosu jumped into the truck and asked, "Where's the garment factory?"
"To the west," Wang Yuchi shouted.
"Then we'll drive east!"
Li Qingzheng floored the accelerator, and the truck roared as it sped east. Usually, no one in the stronghold would drive so fast, so when the truck passed by, many pedestrians could not help but look over.
Someone muttered, "Are they in a hurry to get reincarnated?"
After that, he headed home as usual after work. He was still wondering if he should buy more rice tonight. He had been cooking porridge at home for the past two days, so little rice could be seen.
In the truck, Ren Xiaosu matched a bunch of nanomachines to Yan Liuyuan again. Wang Fugui carried a large backpack and asked, "Xiaosu, what's going on?"
"There's going to be a war in the stronghold soon, so we have to leave quickly." Ren Xiaosu said, "How have y 'all been recently?"
"We're doing fine. A lot of people have run out of food, and they don't have much savings. So they can't afford to buy food when the price of food rises. But we still have plenty of money." Wang Fugui chuckled and said, "Where are we going this time?"
Among the refugees who had entered the stronghold, Wang Fugui and the others were probably the most comfortable and wealthy.
However, for some reason, Wang Fugui felt that he was used to running around. In order to survive in this chaotic world, it seemed like he could only escape again and again.
However, it was tiring to keep running like this. Sometimes, Wang Fugui even wanted to ask Ren Xiaosu if they could find a place to stay in the mountains. That way, they would not have to get involved in the troubles outside.
Sister Xiaoyu first looked at Ren Xiaosu carefully. Only after confirming that there were no injuries on his body did she feel relieved. "Have you encountered any danger at the frontline?"
Chen Wudi chuckled and said, "Sister Xiaoyu, my master is' dangerous. 'Wherever we go, the people there will be very dangerous."
Sister Xiaoyu beamed with joy. "It's good that you're fine."
Based on Sister Xiaoyu's understanding, it was fine as long as Ren Xiaosu and the others were fine. It had nothing to do with her whether the others were fine or not. This was the simplest logic of the refugees — they just had to take care of themselves.
But at this moment, a shocking explosion came from somewhere in the stronghold. Following that, a huge plume of black smoke rose into the sky as though a fire had broken out.
Ren Xiaosu looked out of the back of the truck. He wondered if it was the Yang Clan or Li Shentan's troops who had done it. Right now, he still could not confirm who had done it.
The stronghold residents on the streets all stopped in their tracks and looked into the distance. They had not realized that this was a disaster brought on by the war. Most of them probably thought that a boiler or transformer had exploded somewhere.
In the eyes of the stronghold residents, although it was currently a war, Stronghold 108 had not been affected by it. It was only the price of food that had risen.
Usually, neither the radio nor the newspapers would mention the situation at the frontline. As a result, the stronghold residents thought that the war would not spread to their stronghold.
But what followed was the sound of gunfire. It was only at this moment that the stronghold residents started panicking. Was the war coming?
Before they could react, they saw a missile with a long tail flying towards the stronghold from the south. The slender missile flew rapidly in the sky all the way to the east.
When it started falling rapidly, another explosion came from the east of the stronghold. That was where Ren Xiaosu and the others were headed. Cracks started appearing on the stronghold's walls, and a large amount of smoke rose into the sky. Someone was bombarding the stronghold's walls with artillery from outside!
It must be Li Shentan's troops. Ren Xiaosu did not expect Li Shentan to actually plan to destroy Stronghold 108 as well.
Similar scenes were happening in many places. The walls that the stronghold residents relied on for survival were starting to be attacked by firearms and explosives. Ren Xiaosu counted silently and estimated that the artillery attacks on the walls were coming from three different directions.
A moment later, the eastern wall suddenly started collapsing. Large pieces of the stronghold's walls started falling down. When the stronghold residents on the street looked in that direction, their eyes were filled with horror and numbness.
This numbness was not because they did not care about the walls, but because the shock was too great. Their nerves could no longer withstand it, and they did not know how to react.
Almost at the same time, everyone looked at the crumbling walls. The people on the street were like petrified statues. Some people in their houses were looking out through their windows, but the houses fell into a deathly silence.
The walls were the stronghold residents' protective perimeter for survival. It was their innate sense of superiority and belief. Most of them were born in the stronghold, so in their eyes, the world was surrounded by walls.
They lived here, worked here, got married, and had children here. Most of the stronghold residents did not even consider what would happen if the walls collapsed.
The moment the walls collapsed, their inherent worldview and outlook on life would also collapse.
Ren Xiaosu shouted from the truck, "Just drive east. It'll be easier for us to escape if the walls collapse. No wonder Li Shentan dared to attack the stronghold with only a brigade under his control. He's fucking controlling the missile troops!"
However, the eastern breach had already been breached. This also meant that Ren Xiaosu still had to blow up the stronghold's entrance.
But when the truck drove east, Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt that something was amiss. That was because the residents in the east were fleeing in their direction!
"No, no, I feel like I've missed something." Ren Xiaosu felt that even if the stronghold had collapsed, these people should not have fled so far away!
However, they were still very far away from the east. Ren Xiaosu could not see what was happening behind the crowd.
East! What was in the east?
Ren Xiaosu suddenly roared at Li Qingzheng, "Turn around, turn around! Fuck, I forgot about the Experimentals. How could they possibly be absent from such a big mess! "
Just as Ren Xiaosu had expected, the Experimentals had been lying in ambush around the stronghold, waiting for an opportunity to strike. Now that the humans were in civil strife, it was their best opportunity.
