This time, the shadow clone was the main force fighting head-on. More than a dozen Experimentals surrounded the shadow clone, but they were not in a hurry to attack.
Among the Experimentals, the leader let out a hoarse roar. It sounded like it was communicating with its companions on how to deal with the "human" in front of it.
The other party had already broken away from the normal language of humans. Instead, it was more like how beasts communicated.
But while the Experimentals did not move, the shadow clone did.
Seeing more and more Experimentals emerging from the tunnel behind them, the shadow clone knew that if they did not kill them soon, there would only be more and more Experimentals emerging from the ground.
These dozen Experimentals were clearly just buying time for their companions behind them.
The shadow clone leaped up and flew over an Experimental's head, heading in the direction of the tunnel.
When that Experimental saw that it could not stop the shadow clone, it got up and bared its fangs and claws in an attempt to tangle with the shadow clone in the air. But to its surprise, the shadow clone seemed to have anticipated this move and slashed at it with its saber.
The black saber whistled through the air and made a buzzing sound. Before the Experimental could even touch the shadow clone, it was split in half by the saber!
The shadow clone did not stop moving. As soon as it landed, it rushed out of the tunnel. The Experimentals behind it, who had been fighting their way to the center of the stronghold, immediately followed the shadow clone. They wanted to guard the tunnel entrance for the Experimentals behind them so that the other Experimentals could pass through safely!
This seemed to be a death order given to them by the intelligent entity among them.
Five or six Experimentals rose from the ground and pounced on the shadow clone from behind. They looked like humans on the surface, but their crawling movements and gray skin made them look like large spiders. It was extremely eerie.
Just as the Experimentals behind it were about to pounce on the shadow clone from above, the shadow clone suddenly bent over and slid along the ground to avoid their pursuit.
One of the Experimentals was just about to emerge from the tunnel when it saw a figure gliding over from the ground and beheading it with a single slash.
The Experimental's corpse fell weakly back into the tunnel, crushing its companion that was also about to emerge from the ground.
The Experimental below roared angrily and pushed its companion's corpse aside. Just as it was about to get out of the tunnel, its head was suddenly pierced through by a black saber that came from above.
In just a short moment, four Experimentals in the tunnel had died under the black saber. The black saber was so sharp that even the Experimentals, who could not be penetrated by bullets, could not withstand it.
The corpses of the four Experimentals blocked the exit of the tunnel. The shadow clone stood on top of their corpses and listened to the indignant roars of the remaining Experimentals in the tunnel. However, it had already turned its gaze to the Experimentals outside.
When the Experimentals on the street saw the cold white mask and the black saber dripping with murky liquid, they suddenly felt a little afraid.
The human in front of them was killing them like he was mowing grass. If this human were outside the stronghold, they could easily overwhelm him with their numbers. But now that there were only eight or nine Experimentals left in the stronghold, they actually felt like they were the weaker ones.
In the time it took for a spark to fly off a flint, this human had single-handedly stopped their final trump card in attacking the city.
Old Li and the others, who were on the city wall, saw this scene from the edge of the wall. They caught a glimpse of the shadow clone facing off against so many Experimentals and even sealing off the tunnel.
As Qin Sheng looked at the shadow clone's back, he suddenly felt that the other party seemed to have an invincible spirit.
It was not unusual for the shadow clone to kill the Experimentals, but not just anyone could intimidate the Experimentals so much that they did not dare to move.
From the beginning to the end, Ren Xiaosu did not participate in the battle himself. That was because the shadow clone alone was enough. He was lying prone on the highest point of a building in the distance with his sniper rifle ready to fire at any moment.
However, Ren Xiaosu did not act rashly. The shadow clone was enough to deal with these Experimentals. If he were to open fire at will, the Anjing House or the Pyro Company might easily link the sniper's appearance to Zhou Yingxue.
Of course, this possibility was very unlikely.
If necessary, Ren Xiaosu could not care less about exposing himself at a time like this.
Suddenly, Ren Xiaosu saw a young man who was also running against the crowd towards the battlefield.
The other party's footsteps were light, and he did not look like a supernatural being at all. In fact, he probably had not received any physical training before. Therefore, after running for a while, he started panting heavily. Breathing like this could easily injure his lungs.
The young man had a camera around his neck and a dark blue work pass. Ren Xiaosu could not see the words on the work pass, but he could guess that the other party was probably a reporter.
At this moment, the stronghold residents finally understood what kind of monsters they were facing. Previously, they had complained that the Zhou Clan had mobilized too many people and demolished many of the residences to build the fortifications in the city. They even conscripted all of the adult males, with only a small number of them escaping the conscription. This caused the stronghold residents to have a lot of opinions about this.
But when they saw how the Experimentals tore apart humans with their own eyes, they began to acknowledge the Zhou Clan from the bottom of their hearts. Only when their own interests and lives were threatened would they understand the significance of the Zhou Clan's existence.
While the residents were fleeing in panic, there were even reporters who rushed towards the battlefield. They just wanted to get first-hand news. Ren Xiaosu did not quite understand what these reporters were thinking.
A moment later, the Experimentals in the underground tunnel seemed to have started retreating. Meanwhile, the Experimentals in front of the shadow clone suddenly fled. They turned around and ran away from the shadow clone. An Experimental came to a manhole cover and reached out with its gray hand to lift the manhole cover before diving into the sewers.
But when it lifted the manhole cover, it did not budge at all!
Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt admiration for Zhou Clan's army. If Zhou Clan had not welded the manhole cover shut in advance, the Experimentals would have escaped into the sewers. These Experimentals would probably become a very unstable factor in the future. Who knew what they would do when they emerged again!
If the Experimentals escaped into the sewers in different directions, even the shadow clone would not be able to catch up to them.
The direction in which the Experimentals were escaping was where the young reporter was. There were not many residents around the reporter as everyone had already fled.
He stood on the street in a daze and stopped in his tracks. The young reporter was dumbfounded when he saw the Experimentals gathered around a manhole cover. But out of his reporter's instincts, he kept pressing the shutter button with the hand holding the camera.
Behind the Experimentals was the shadow clone. The shadow clone's white mask stood out in the camera. The calm expression on the mask seemed to form a stark contrast with the Experimentals fleeing in panic.
The welded manhole cover could not stop the Experimentals. They smashed the manhole cover with their arms. But just as they got in, a loud rumble came from the sewers. Ren Xiaosu had used the Shadow Door to throw ten grenades at the Experimentals and forcefully blasted them out again.
However, they were still intact Experimentals when they went in. But when they came out, they had already become broken Experimentals.
It was only at this moment that the Zhou Clan's emergency response team from inside the stronghold arrived.
