At this moment, Ren Xiaosu and the others had already set off again and were heading in the direction of Stronghold 73. Without the threat of the Experimentals behind them, their escape this time was actually not as tense.
At night, after Zhou Yingxue took Li Ran away, the two of them chatted for half the night. It seemed like Li Ran had just suffered a setback and was in a relatively fragile state, so she talked a lot to Zhou Yingxue about it.
She talked about how she graduated from kindergarten, why she debuted as a singer, and what she had experienced after becoming a singer. It was as though she was treating Zhou Yingxue as a confidant.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yingxue listened with relish. She even asked Li Ran if she could also debut as a singer.
In the morning, Ren Xiaosu realized the plainclothes guards were no longer willing to carry Li Ran on their backs. Instead, Zhou Yingxue carried her.
After the disaster, Li Ran decided to cancel her tour. This also meant that Zhou Yingxue had completed her mission.
When Li Ran informed the Anjing House of the completion of the mission, Zhou Yingxue's payment was also received.
However, after the Anjing House paid her, they still hoped to get specific information about Stronghold 74 from Zhou Yingxue. They wanted to know what exactly had happened.
Zhou Yingxue looked at Ren Xiaosu. "Can you tell them, Master?"
Li Ran listened quietly but did not say anything. Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and said, "Since there's money to be made, why not? It's not like we bombed Stronghold 74!"
As a result, Zhou Yingxue sent the information about Stronghold 74 being hit by a nuclear bomb to the Anjing House and received another million yuan.
Ren Xiaosu thought to himself, 'The Anjing House is really rich. A piece of information is worth a million yuan?'
As a matter of fact, Hope Media would soon publish the entire story. This money was basically earned for free.
Along the way, the reporter from Hope Media kept running back and forth in front of the group. After obtaining the consent of one of the refugees, he took a photo of the refugees as they fled to be used as an illustration for future articles.
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu avoided it. He had thought that if he were to report the incident, it would be easier for him to find his friends and family. However, he reckoned that he would be in danger.
Old Li came over to ask Ren Xiaosu if the small mushroom cloud in the stronghold was also caused by Ren Xiaosu. He had witnessed Ren Xiaosu casually blowing up the stronghold's walls. Although he did not know how he did it, it left a deep impression on him.
Moreover, the mushroom cloud from before was clearly the work of a supernatural being, so he linked it to Ren Xiaosu.
As they had met once before, the two Knight and Ren Xiaosu spent more time chatting along the way, and they became more familiar with each other.
But when Old Li asked about the mushroom cloud, Ren Xiaosu played dumb. How could he let others know about his trump card so easily?
Although he was more familiar with the Knight now, there was no need for him to reveal his secrets to just anyone.
In the afternoon of the same day, the escapees finally welcomed the reinforcements from the Zhou Clan.
When everyone saw the Zhou Clan's troops, it was as though they had seen their family. The Zhou Clan's troops did not disappoint the escapees and transported them away in military trucks.
Meanwhile, a portion of the Zhou Clan's troops continued advancing towards Stronghold 74. After being informed that Stronghold 74 had been destroyed by a nuclear bomb, the Zhou Clan's troops did not immediately enter the battlefield. Instead, they slowed down their advance and waited for the chemical defense suits to arrive from the rear.
The escapees were fighting for the individual rations of the Zhou Clan's troops in the trucks. Everyone had been starving for too long and could not take it anymore.
Suddenly, Li Ran looked at Fang Zhi, who was in the truck. "Where are Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue? And Lee Young-yoon and Qin Sheng are gone too. "
Fang Zhi was also puzzled. "I remember they were in the truck with us. Why are they gone?"
Li Ran turned around and looked out of the back of the truck. All that was left was the scenery that was getting further and further away.
She had experienced so many unbelievable things along the way that she had almost forgotten about the serious performance. All she could remember was the back of that young man leading the crowd out of the stronghold.
When she thought about how Zhou Yingxue was probably going to follow her master and start wandering the world again, she felt a little envious and a little disappointed.
Perhaps if someone else encountered the two of them again, Ren Xiaosu would become Zhou Yingxue's assistant again, mysterious and low-key.
Li Ran did not know if she would have the chance to come into contact with that mysterious world again. At this moment, she started to understand Mu Wange a little better.
Li Ran glanced at Mu Wange, who was next to her, then sighed and said, "At some point, I also wanted to become his maid and wander the world with him."
Mu Wange said, "Me too."
Li Ran was speechless.
…
After the escapees arrived at Stronghold 73, they were not immediately accepted into the stronghold. Instead, they went through a series of radiation checks.
Zhou Yingxue and the others bought new vehicles in town and drove straight to the Wang Clan's stronghold. They did not have to undergo such a radiation check.
Meanwhile, the reporter from Hope Media hitched a ride with them to Luoyang City.
Three days later, Hope Media's newspapers caused an uproar throughout the Barrier Alliance.
On this day, all of Hope Media's newspapers were wiped out. It was the same for all the strongholds. As a last resort, Hope Media printed an additional 100,000 copies of their newspapers, but it was still not enough.
The nuclear attack on Stronghold 74 had even gradually overshadowed the influence of the Experimentals. After all, the Experimentals were already dead, so there was no need to discuss them anymore. The nuclear bomb was the new threat.
Moreover, the old era and civilization had been destroyed because of this thing. Now that it had reappeared, it was hard for people not to think in a negative direction.
It was just like how once bitten, twice shy.
No, to be more precise, once bitten, twice shy. This was a real snake!
In just a day, everyone started discussing this matter. Some people said the nuclear bomb was targeted at the Experimentals and not humans. It was considered a good thing to get rid of a pest for the people.
But even more people felt that something like this should not be used in combat. Moreover, what if there were still survivors in Stronghold 74? Wouldn't it be the same as killing all of them?
Moreover, if a nuclear bomb was dropped, no humans would be able to enter Stronghold 74 for the next 50 years. Such an incident would still have a huge impact.
The impact of the nuclear bomb even caused everyone to overlook the Pyro Company. Before this, everyone was denouncing the Pyro Company for creating monsters.
Humans were so forgetful that they would forget the pain of their wounds once they healed.
At this moment, everyone wanted to see how the various consortiums would react. After all, something like this was the greatest threat to them.
While the other consortiums remained silent, the Wang Clan suddenly held a press conference.
At this press conference, the Wang Clan directly targeted the Kyung Clan. On one hand, they protested against the Kyung Clan, while on the other hand, they hoped to join forces with the other strongholds to negotiate with the Kyung Clan. They hoped the Kyung Clan would give up on their continued research and development of nuclear weapons. Otherwise, they would take sanctions.
The future of humanity needed to be protected by all humans together. The Kyung Clan should not turn themselves into a threat to humanity. The current human Barrier Alliance was already too fragile.
