Although Ren Xiaosu told Li Ran to make the decision herself, Li Ran could tell Ren Xiaosu clearly did not want to get involved in this trouble. So he simply hid in the hotel and did not show his face. Instead, he got Fang Zhi to coax away the women who came to seek refuge with him.
Moreover, a famous company in Stronghold 74 suddenly started giving out free porridge. The stronghold residents could use their ID cards to collect the porridge, and each person could get two servings a day.
There were a total of 41 porridge stalls in the entire stronghold. All of a sudden, the stronghold residents were carrying pots and pans to collect the porridge.
Ren Xiaosu went to have a look. The porridge in the stall was not too thin, so it should not be a problem for the stronghold residents to survive.
The other party was holding a black device in their hands. When the resident ID card was swiped, the green light would indicate that the person would be given the porridge. If the red light indicated that the person had already collected the porridge, the other party would not be giving out anymore.
Many stronghold residents tried to collect more, but no one succeeded.
Ren Xiaosu thought the Zhou Clan must be behind this company. After all, the entire stronghold's food supply was in the hands of the Zhou Clan. But why didn't the Zhou Clan do such a good deed in their own name?
Instead, they got this company to do it for them.
Moreover, when Ren Xiaosu saw the people who were giving out porridge, they were all burly. Some of them even had tattoos on their necks, and they looked like they were part of a gang.
As the stronghold residents were able to eat, the chaos did not last for too long. Moreover, Hope Media published a piece of news in a new newspaper. Zhou's Army in Stronghold 73 had regrouped and had set off for Stronghold 74 to exterminate the Experimentals. There were as many as 14,000 of them.
Many of the rioters felt that the war was probably going to end soon. If they continued causing trouble, it would be equivalent to courting death.
These people only dared to cause trouble when the Zhou Clan did not have time to deal with them. When the Zhou Clan was free to deal with them, it would be as easy as stepping on an ant.
Based on the normal marching speed, it would take the reinforcements about three days to get to Stronghold 74. But as the situation was too urgent, they could probably arrive in two days if they marched at full speed.
Li Ran and the others were cheering in the lobby. Even Ren Xiaosu had a smile on his face. From the looks of it, Stronghold 74 should be able to get out of the predicament this time. The Experimentals would have to retreat back into the mountains again.
But on the afternoon of the next day, the 2nd Division of Stronghold 73's reinforcements were on their way to Stronghold 74. When they were about to pass through a mountain road, a dense horde of Experimentals suddenly rushed down from the forest on the mountain.
The mountain road was narrow, and the Experimentals were charging at them from a high vantage point, so it was very difficult for the 2nd Division's tanks to affect them.
On the left was a mountain, and on the right was a cliff.
It could be said that the Experimentals had been planning this for a long time.
However, the 2nd Division was already prepared for this. They had expected the Experimentals to launch a sneak attack on the reinforcements like the last time. Therefore, the armored vehicles loaded with heavy machine guns were constantly on alert to prevent the Experimentals from attacking the troops' formation.
The soldiers in the armored vehicles immediately adjusted the angle of the heavy machine guns so that all the Experimentals were within their firing range.
Moreover, this time, even the infantry's automatic rifles were equipped with grenade launchers, and most of their ammunition was made up of white phosphorus grenades.
White phosphorus grenades were a type of grenade, artillery shell, and bomb. The basic structure of the grenade was to fill it with phosphorus powder, which would spontaneously combust when exposed to air until it was completely consumed.
Since normal bullets could not penetrate the Experimentals, they would use white phosphorus grenades to burn them!
It seemed like this was also the first time the Experimentals had encountered such a weapon that could effectively kill them. As a result, the first batch of Experimentals that rushed up were burned to death. The entire mountain forest started burning, and the originally lush green mountain range was engulfed in flames.
Just as the commanding officer of the 2nd Division thought that victory was in their grasp, several hundred Experimentals suddenly climbed up from the foot of the mountain and launched another attack from the side.
This time, when the Zhou's Army used a lethal weapon like the white phosphorus grenade again, they realized they had used it in the wrong place. After the Experimentals that had already rushed close to them were hit by the white phosphorus grenade, it did not instantly burn them to ashes. Instead, the flames that ignited were carried into the crowd by the Experimentals, causing even more casualties to the Zhou's Army!
In close combat, the white phosphorus grenade was a double-edged sword. Although it could kill the enemy, it could also injure the soldiers themselves.
The vitality of the Experimentals was much stronger than that of normal soldiers. As a result, the Zhou Clan's own soldiers could not take it anymore before the Experimentals died!
Moreover, some of the soldiers were shocked to discover that there were more than a dozen Experimentals among the group of Experimentals that were completely different from the others.
The other Experimentals moved by crawling, but these dozen or so Experimentals were walking upright the entire time!
In the blink of an eye, the dozen or so Experimentals had charged into the 2nd Division's formation. A soldier hit one of the Experimentals with a white phosphorus grenade, but it did not budge despite the flames and white smoke coming from its body. It charged up to an armored vehicle and grabbed its wheel with its bare hands before flipping it off the cliff on the right.
The armored vehicle's heavy body kept rolling on the hillside, and even the sturdy body of the vehicle was smashed to pieces!
The soldiers who saw this were shocked. They did not expect there to be such a ferocious existence among the Experimentals!
How much strength did it take to flip over an armored vehicle with its bare hands?!
The dozen or so Experimentals shuttled back and forth among the Zhou Clan's Army. They did not linger to fight. When they encountered ordinary infantrymen, they rammed their bodies into them and broke their bones. When they encountered an armored vehicle, they flipped it off the cliff.
These Experimentals were like the strongest warriors in their entire race. Their goal was to cripple the Zhou Clan's heavy firepower. They did not know fear and were extremely strong.
They were like a sharp knife that stabbed hard into the hearts of the Zhou Clan's soldiers. They even pinched their chests a few times.
As the Experimentals advanced, the Zhou Clan's soldiers tried to shoot at them with their guns. However, the Experimentals were too fast.
The Experimentals shuttled back and forth freely among the Zhou Clan's soldiers. It was as if they were beating up normal soldiers like they were children.
This was the result of their overwhelming strength and speed.
Although there were only a few of these Experimentals walking upright, their destructive effect on the battlefield was too great!
A minute later, just as an Experimental was about to ram into a soldier like before, that soldier suddenly took the initiative to pounce on it. The moment the two sides collided, the explosives in the soldier's arms immediately detonated. Both the soldier and the Experimental were blown to smithereens.
The huge shockwave sent the surrounding soldiers flying. Even the armored vehicles not far away were shaking. When the soldiers got closer, some of them were even killed by the aftershock.
In this ambush, it seemed like this was the only method the Zhou Clan's soldiers could use to effectively stop the Experimentals' advance.
More and more soldiers started using such suicidal tactics to perish together with the Experimentals. During this period, the Experimentals became smarter. They avoided the humans and only destroyed the armored vehicles and tanks. They did not clash head-on with the soldiers.
As a result, some of the soldiers simply died in vain. Although the explosives detonated, the Experimentals managed to avoid the explosions.
