In the past, no one from the three consortiums in the Southwest had ever taken the Experimentals seriously. Everyone thought they were just a bunch of unintelligent beasts. When they were done with the affairs of the consortiums, they would naturally get rid of the Experimentals and make arrangements for them.
But when Qing Yi headed south to take care of the Experimentals, the Kyung Clan realized the intelligent entity among the Experimentals was not easy to deal with.
Nowadays, humans had to treat the Experimentals as beings with the same intelligence as themselves and deal with them carefully.
For example, the Zhou's Army could not have expected the Experimentals to still march forward with the refugees and captives. This put the commander of the Zhou's Army on the stronghold walls in a dilemma.
Although the commander of the Zhou Consortium troops had given the order to open fire in a calm tone, it had to be known that there were also elderly and children among the refugees. After this battle, the commander of the Zhou Consortium troops would probably have to suffer a lot from his conscience.
Not everyone could be so cold-blooded and heartless. He was only making the most rational and calm judgment based on the current situation.
The heavy machine guns on the stronghold walls started spitting out gunfire. In the dark of the night, the flames from the gun barrels were like a dragon, like a meteor with a tail trailing behind it.
Everyone on the stronghold's walls watched quietly. Old Li and Qin Sheng saw that the refugees had been beaten to a bloody pulp, and there were even people they knew among them. Some time ago, they had just sent some medicine to them, and they were even given a basket of pheasant eggs in return.
Old Li had promised them he would buy winter jackets for the 12 children. But before he could get them, the 12 children were already dead.
However, neither Old Li nor Qin Sheng stopped the Zhou's Army from opening fire. That was because they knew this was the right choice. Although the Knight was an upright person, he had never been taught to be kind.
Amid the gunfire, the Experimentals who were mixed in with the refugees were also pierced by the heavy machine guns. When the Experimentals realized the humans were actually firing at them, they immediately retreated.
They retreated from the range of the heavy machine guns' firepower as fast as they could and dove into the forest.
The machine gunners frantically chased after the Experimentals with firepower, but it was as though the group of Experimentals had been trained. They took irregular routes to escape and tried their best to avoid the machine gun bullets.
The commander of Zhou's Army had already tried his best to keep the Experimentals as close as possible so that they could prevent them from escaping. But this time, they only managed to kill a few hundred Experimentals at most. While the Experimentals were fleeing, the garrison troops on the city walls witnessed how powerful their bodies were.
But before the defenders could heave a sigh of relief, the southern defenders suddenly shouted in the communication channel that they were under attack!
"What's going on? Didn't the Experimentals just retreat?" Someone was stunned.
"Oh no, this is a feint!" The chief of Zhou's Army gritted his teeth.
Earlier, when the Experimentals had mobilized so many people and even brought so many refugees with them, everyone thought that they were going to attack the city head-on.
Zhou's Army had even temporarily transferred a group of troops over from the south and north gates. But when these reinforcements were halfway up the city walls, they received news that they had to retreat and defend the city.
It turned out that although the Experimentals on the western side seemed to be making a big fuss, they were only trying to attract the attention of the garrison troops. They had other plans in mind, and each one of them was more ruthless than the last.
The commander of Zhou's Army gave an order on the radio, "Defend the southern side! We must not let the Experimentals climb up the city walls!"
Just five minutes ago, everyone had witnessed the physical strength of the Experimentals. If such monsters were allowed to climb up the city walls, it would probably only take ten minutes for the entire defense system on the southern side of the city walls to be destroyed in close combat.
As he spoke, the commander of Zhou's Army saw Old Li and Qin Sheng quickly heading south. Even the 15 members of the Pyro Company were following closely behind them.
Both sides were very decisive. Once the southern side was in danger of the Experimentals seizing the city walls, they would be needed there the most.
When the Experimentals climbed up the city walls, they would be the only ones who could drive them back down.
Ren Xiaosu was watching quietly with his spotting scope from a high vantage point in the distance. However, he did not know what was happening.
He could only see small, blurry black dots on the city walls that were quickly heading south. Could it be that the Experimentals had appeared on the southern side again?
However, Ren Xiaosu still did not move. He was still wondering if he should participate in this defensive battle.
As they sprinted, the difference in strength between the Knight and the Pyro Company was immediately apparent. The two Knight were sprinting at the front and were not even panting. Moreover, they were pulling further and further away from the Pyro Company. The Pyro Company members behind them were running with all their might in an attempt to catch up to Old Li and Qin Sheng, but they could not do so.
One of the Pyro Company's commanders suddenly said, "Don't chase after them. We'll run ourselves dry if we keep running like that. Conserve your strength for the melee battle later. Don't let the Experimentals climb up the city walls."
The southern garrison should be able to hold on for a while, but it would also take time for the Knight and the others to rush to the south from the west. It would take at least 20 minutes. Old Li and Qin Sheng could only pray that the Zhou Clan's garrison troops in the south were tough enough to not be defeated so easily!
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu was also rushing south. He was thinking that if Old Li and Qin Sheng could not hold on, he could at least help out if he got closer.
Ren Xiaosu thought that even the Pyro Company members he had always hated had stepped forward at this moment. If he were to continue hiding and watch from the sidelines, wouldn't that mean he was inferior to the people he hated?
At this moment, it seemed like everyone was running for their lives. The Zhou Clan's Army who were returning to provide reinforcements were also running wildly on the city walls. But as they ran, Old Li and Qin Sheng slowly overtook them.
Ren Xiaosu was also jumping from rooftop to rooftop. However, before he could reach them, the Knight had already arrived at the southern wall. At the moment Old Li and Qin Sheng arrived, the Experimentals had just climbed up the wall. They pushed off the edge of the wall with their legs, and their gray bodies flew towards the heavy machine guns on the wall. This seemed to be what they were most afraid of at the moment. The first batch of Experimentals that climbed up the wall were tasked with destroying all the heavy firepower!
But before they could pounce on the Experimentals, Old Li slammed an Experimental that was still in midair down the stronghold like an off-road vehicle.
Ren Xiaosu immediately found a vantage point and used the spotting scope to look through. He saw Old Li's punches emitting a dazzling star-like glow every time he threw his fists. Old Li was five or six meters away from the other Experimentals, but he was still able to use his star-like power to strike the Experimentals from afar!
It was not only Old Li. Even Qin Sheng was using the same fighting style. He was hitting the Experimentals one at a time!
Ren Xiaosu was stunned when he saw the clear scene through the spotting scope. What the hell was that? Were Old Li and Qin Sheng so ferocious? It was no wonder they dared to stroll around in the wilderness.
