Knowing that the Experimentals were only using simple firearms and explosives, it was too terrifying to discover a bomb in the tunnel.
During this period of time, there were special equipment installed near the stronghold walls to check the decibel level for fear that the sound of the Experimentals digging the tunnel would not be detected by them.
But this tunnel in front of them had probably been dug by the Experimentals a long time ago. Otherwise, how could they have escaped the surveillance of Zhou's Army?
The soldier who discovered the bomb panicked and ran back frantically. But before he could get out of the tunnel, the bomb behind him suddenly exploded.
The soil around the stronghold walls looked like it had been plowed by someone in an instant. Huge chunks of soil cracked open, and the ground rippled like water, creating a "wave" of soil.
The people surrounding the crater were instantly thrown into the air. Their internal organs started rupturing, and in the blink of an eye, they died from internal bleeding.
But this was only the beginning. There were a total of three places where explosions like this occurred.
The loud explosion alarmed the entire stronghold. The residents all stopped what they were doing and stared blankly at the western stronghold walls that were starting to collapse.
Due to the loss of the foundation, the cracks in the walls continued to spread from the bottom to the top after the explosive force burst forth. Finally, three huge gaps were formed!
The three points of explosion happened to collapse one side of the wall, causing it to fall to the ground along with the garrison troops on it. At this moment, all the heavy machine guns and artillery were useless. The main gate was already wide open, and the Experimentals waiting outside were already getting restless.
When Old Li and Qin Sheng heard the explosion, they sped up and rushed towards the stronghold walls. But before they could get there, they saw the stronghold walls collapse.
This was a scene they had never seen with their own eyes before. It was as though human civilization was collapsing right in front of them.
The building that humans had relied on to protect themselves for a hundred years was collapsing right in front of them.
The huge circular stronghold was like a piece of cake that had a corner cut off by the Experimentals with a sharp knife.
This scene clearly told the humans, "Your stronghold is not as strong as you think it is. It's only enough to fend off wild animals."
Following closely behind, a dense horde of Experimentals climbed over the rubble of the walls. Old Li stared blankly at the gray Experimentals that looked like a swarm of spiders.
Therefore, the negotiation and seven-day period that the Experimentals had mentioned were all fake. They were only trying to make the humans in the stronghold let down their guard and divert their attention to search for Experimental 001.
Meanwhile, they had already planned to launch an attack to destroy the stronghold on the second day of the negotiations.
What the Experimentals wanted were living humans to strengthen their race!
Old Li recalled the Experimental's attitude as a king. Actually, that monster had long been prepared to turn the entire Central Plains into its territory. It probably had never thought of becoming a normal person.
"Let's go," Old Li said blankly.
Qin Sheng was anxious. "Are we leaving just like that?"
Old Li glanced at Qin Sheng and said in a serious tone, "You and I have no obligation to live or die with Stronghold 74. We should conserve our strength and rescue some people. Save as many as you can. Stronghold 74 is no longer safe!"
It was not that Old Li did not want to defend the stronghold, but that more than half of the garrison troops on the stronghold walls had been destroyed. War was cruel to begin with, and Zhou's Army no longer had the strength to stop the Experimentals!
Old Li turned around and looked at Qin Sheng. "Right now, only the east gate of the stronghold hasn't been sealed. Lead the escapees there!"
"I'll lead them?" Qin Sheng was taken aback. "What about you, Teacher?"
"I'll go and stop the Experimentals for a while. Hopefully, I can hold on a little longer. These Experimentals can't outrun me, so don't worry," Old Li said.
What Old Li did not say was that if no one went to stop the Experimentals, no one would be able to escape. With so many escapees around, they would eventually be devoured by the Experimentals. The escapees would not be able to outrun the Experimentals.
But at this moment, a group of troops rushed over from the streets. Zhou Xingwen sat in a vehicle and looked calmly at Old Li and Qin Sheng. "Lead the residents and escape to the east. I've already informed the garrison troops to open the east gate. The Zhou Clan's stronghold will be defended by our Zhou Clan ourselves. There's no need for y 'all to die with us."
As he spoke, Zhou Xingwen exuded a sense of heroism. Before the explosion, he had been deploying troops at the headquarters. When he heard the explosion, he immediately rushed over.
He knew there was no hope left for this stronghold. The residents around him were screaming and in despair. As the highest-ranking officer of this stronghold, what he should do was not to escape first but to complete the final task at hand. He should kill as many Experimentals as he could.
Zhou Xingwen also understood that even if he managed to drag out an ignoble existence and escape, he would not be able to shake off the immense remorse and remorse in the future.
While they were talking, a red and gray mushroom cloud suddenly rose up from the center of the densely packed Experimentals. Under the mushroom cloud, a transparent shockwave spread outwards. The Experimentals in the vicinity of the explosion were involuntarily lifted up and melted.
The mushroom cloud had a radius of 100 meters, and the Experimentals within it were immediately vaporized. The power of the explosion was terrifying.
The Experimentals, who were crawling through the gap in the stronghold, did not expect such a sudden explosion to explode among them.
As the mushroom cloud rose into the sky, several more explosions occurred near it. However, they were not as loud as the first one.
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu ran away after tossing the Explosive Poker cards. He was feeling very excited.
The Experimentals who had just surged into the stronghold were probably in a daze from the explosions. This time, a quarter of the Experimentals had probably been killed by the mass release of the bombs.
That mushroom cloud earlier was the result of the four "7s" that Ren Xiaosu had drawn at the last minute. To be honest, even Ren Xiaosu himself was shocked by the power of those four "7s"!
The Experimentals who had yet to enter the stronghold were also shocked. They hesitated outside the stronghold until they received new orders. Only then did they surge towards the stronghold again.
Old Li stared blankly at the mushroom cloud. "Was this a bomb dropped by your Zhou Clan?"
"No," Zhou Xingwen said with a shake of his head. He then ordered Zhou's Army to continue advancing. Although someone had helped them get rid of some of the Experimentals, there were still more ahead.
Qin Sheng gulped. "Teacher, could this be the handiwork of a supernatural being? Could it be that white-masked supernatural being?"
"It's hard to say." Old Li shook his head. "Let's go!"
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu was running frantically towards the hotel. When he rushed into the hotel's entrance, he shouted at Zhou Yingxue, "Go, go, go! Hurry up and leave! If we don't leave now, it'll be too late!"
Zhou Yingxue had already heard the explosions. When she saw Ren Xiaosu, she followed him without hesitation. Ren Xiaosu turned around and looked at Li Ran and the others. "The Experimentals have already made their way in. If you don't want to die, keep up. If you can't keep up, I won't turn around to save you."
