Old Li and Qin Sheng had a tacit understanding of each other. Their battle strategy seemed to be with Old Li as the main attacker while Qin Sheng provided support from the side. The dozens of Experimentals that had scaled the stronghold walls were unable to get close to them for the time being. As long as any Experimentals tried to get close to Old Li, they would immediately be punched back by Qin Sheng. Some of them might even be punched off the stronghold walls.
Ren Xiaosu could see through the spotting scope that the young man named Qin Sheng did not seem to have gotten used to his superpower yet. As a result, he was not as confident as Old Li in battle. But even so, Qin Sheng was still able to break the bones of the Experimentals with a single punch.
While Old Li and Qin Sheng were fighting, the Pyro Company's members also arrived. These people immediately formed a new line of defense around Old Li and Qin Sheng to intercept the Experimentals that had just scaled the stronghold walls. These Pyro Company members were willing to become Old Li's flanks, with Old Li taking the lead in all of the battles.
The Pyro Company's members had always won in terms of quantity, not quality. Of course, this did not include the Pyro Company's higher-ranking fighting forces.
At the very least, the members of Midnight and Dusk knew very well what they were capable of. That was why they always fought in groups of five.
For example, if they were to face a Knight -ranked supernatural being like Old Li head-on, Dusk would have to send out at least 15 members.
Of course, this was just a hypothetical situation. The Pyro Company and the Knight had a very good relationship, and the two sides did not have many opportunities to fight.
Mass-Producing supernatural beings was the Pyro Company's true advantage.
These 17 people were like a sharp arrow on the stronghold walls, while Old Li was the arrowhead of that arrow. Wherever he went to provide support, the people behind him would follow.
Only by constantly clearing out the Experimentals that had scaled the stronghold walls could Zhou's Army continue to use their heavy firepower to intercept the Experimentals that kept emerging from the forest in the distance.
Old Li had also thought things through. Their role was to engage in close combat on the stronghold walls. As for killing the Experimentals on a large scale, they would still have to rely on firearms and explosives. Therefore, they had to protect this position well. Zhou's Army was the real main force defending the stronghold.
At this moment, Zhou's Army's reinforcements had just arrived. They did not even look at the battle on Old Li's side and set up a new firing point not far away.
A soldier said fearfully, "Sir, there are Experimentals on the walls!"
"What's there to be afraid of?" The battalion commander of this Zhou's Army said coldly, "Those who came to help defend the city aren't even afraid yet. What are you afraid of? Just do what you're supposed to do. Your family and friends are right behind you. What you should be doing now is pulling the trigger and stopping those Experimentals instead of being afraid here. "
The soldiers under him gritted their teeth and pulled the trigger as soon as they set up their heavy machine guns. It was as though they could not see the terrifying Experimental howling just a few dozen meters away from them.
In this battle to defend the city, be it Zhou's Army, the Pyro Company, or the Knight Company, they were all doing their best to do what they were supposed to do. They were no longer children, so they had to understand that only by doing their jobs well could they defend the city.
When Ren Xiaosu saw this, he was a little shocked.
He had seen war and participated in it himself in the Northwest. He had even fought against an entire stronghold by himself.
But that was only a war between humans.
Now that humans were facing foreign enemies, different organizations had abandoned their own interests and stances. This was a completely different feeling.
Those 15 members of the Pyro Company were probably lurking in Stronghold 74. Their original goal might have been to capture supernatural beings, but now they had dropped everything to defend against the foreign enemies.
Seeing that the Experimentals on the southern stronghold walls were gradually being suppressed, with some of them even taking the initiative to jump off the walls, this was probably a signal for the Experimentals to retreat.
Ren Xiaosu quietly turned around and left. It looked like he would not have to do anything this time. Old Li and Qin Sheng were as skilled as his shadow clone. With the two of them around, it would indeed not be easy for the Experimentals to scale the walls again for the time being.
But it seemed like the Experimentals' attack on the stronghold was not over yet.
Suddenly, chaos broke out in the stronghold in the southwest. The soldiers in charge of logistics started wailing, and some residents even escaped from their houses and ran towards the stronghold from there. It was as though there was something extremely terrifying behind them.
Ren Xiaosu suddenly looked up at the stronghold walls. The battle there was still going on, and it seemed like Zhou's Army had not reacted yet. At some point in time, new Experimentals had infiltrated the stronghold.
But there were no openings on the stronghold walls, so how did the Experimentals get into the stronghold?
Ren Xiaosu picked up his spotting scope again and was surprised to see a hole more than a meter wide had appeared in the southwest. Some Experimentals were crawling out of it.
And the source of the fear of the logistics troops and residents was these Experimentals that had suddenly appeared!
It wasn't until this moment that Ren Xiaosu was shocked. So it turned out that no matter how powerful the Experimentals' attacks were, they were just providing cover for this group of Experimentals.
Those Experimentals had made preparations for an unknown period of time. They had actually dug a tunnel into the stronghold in the wilderness outside.
What Ren Xiaosu did not know was that the Experimentals had already left the Kyung Clan's territory and arrived in the Central Plains a long time ago. However, be it Old Li or Zhou's Army, they all thought they had just arrived.
And these Experimentals had made so many preparations just for this tunnel.
When the tunnel started getting closer to the stronghold, the Experimentals' main forces started attacking the stronghold. They did it for no other reason than to attract the attention of the frontline troops. In addition, they used the humans' gunshots to cover up the sounds of them digging the tunnel.
It wasn't until the tunnel was completely dug that the real plan was revealed.
Ren Xiaosu felt a chill run down his spine. He was also someone who had faced the Experimentals before. But had the Experimentals' intelligence already allowed them to plan everything out after a single day of battle?
Then would there come a day when the Experimentals would use the humans' own artillery to attack the humans' stronghold?
Ren Xiaosu looked at the tunnel. As it was not wide, there were not many Experimentals crawling out of it.
But if they were allowed to destroy the stronghold's defense system from the inside, or climb up the walls from behind the defensive positions to take out the heavy machine guns, it would probably be troublesome.
Ren Xiaosu put away his spotting scope and went against the flow of the fleeing crowd. Since even the Pyro Company had stepped forward, there was no reason for him to continue retreating.
They were just some Experimentals!
In the crowd, a shadow clone wearing a white mask had already charged towards the Experimentals. When an Experimental saw the shadow clone, it pounced over. However, the shadow clone leaped up and grabbed its gray, rough face with its hand before slamming it to the ground.
The shadow clone half-knelt on the ground and released its grip. The Experimental under its hand was no longer moving. Its brain had been smashed to a pulp, and even the stone path on the ground had cracked!
The rest of the Experimentals who were chasing after the humans slowly stopped and surrounded the shadow clone.
