At this moment, Luo Lan was leading the Kyung Clan soldiers in packing their luggage. It had to be said that Luo Lan had quite a lot of luggage with him. On this trip out, he had even brought his own tea set with him. He was quite particular about his lifestyle.
It was said that the tea set was an antique from before The Cataclysm and was quite expensive. If the Barrier Alliance really became peaceful one day, this set of antiques would fetch a sky-high price at auction.
Therefore, when Luo Lan gave the order to pack up, the Kyung Clan soldiers went to collect the tea set and other valuables first.
Although they did not know why their boss was in such a hurry, they were just soldiers, so they just had to follow his orders.
But just as they were packing up, they heard Luo Lan say anxiously, "Why are we packing up that lousy thing? Do we not want to live anymore? Hurry up and take the food we brought with us. No matter how much we have, we'll talk about it later. There's no need to bring water, Zhou Qi knows how to change!"
Zhou Qi raised his eyebrows. So he had become a tool for drinking water?
One of the Kyung Clan soldiers looked at Luo Lan. "Boss, you really like this tea set."
"Is a tea set more important than my life?" Luo Lan stuffed his belongings into one of the soldiers' hands. "Hurry up and come with me. Don't bring anything unnecessary. We have to travel light. Hurry up and call that reporter from Hope Media over. Get him to come with us as well! "
With that, Luo Lan rushed out of the room and headed straight for the stairs. To be on the safe side, he did not even take the elevator for fear of any accidents happening.
In the end, Luo Lan really did the right thing this time. When they went down from the seventh floor to the third floor, the entire hotel's power went out!
"Why are you running?" Zhou Qi was puzzled. "Even if the Wang Clan wants to kill you, you won't be able to escape."
Zhou Qi thought that Luo Lan was trying to avoid the Wang Clan's financial group, but Luo Lan said, "What do you know? It might not be the Wang Clan. It might not even be a human!"
To be honest, Luo Lan could be considered someone who had been through a lot. When the Experimentals attacked the strongholds many times, he was at the scene. So when he saw the reaction of the Wang Clan's troops, he could not figure out what they were doing at first. But he quickly realized it was similar to the reaction of the Li Consortium's garrison troops.
Earlier, when Luo Lan was standing by the window, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was similar. This strong sense of danger urged him to rush downstairs. No matter what happened, he had to find a safer place!
First of all, it would be best to escape from the stronghold. If he couldn't, he would find the safest place to hide and wait for the Wang Clan's reinforcements to arrive.
This was an extremely important geographical location for the Wang Clan's financial group. Even if the Experimentals attacked, the Wang Clan would definitely be able to take back the stronghold as long as they hid for 10 days or half a month.
But that couldn't be right. Hadn't the Experimentals been blown up? What else could make the Wang Clan's troops panic like this?
After he went downstairs, the threat of the creeper vines spreading had not reached them yet. However, the stronghold was already a little chaotic. From time to time, he could see vehicles driving past frantically. The pedestrians on the streets did not know what was going on.
When the group of people who were sitting quietly downstairs saw Luo Lan come out, they surrounded him.
Luo Lan said anxiously, "All of you, get the fuck out of my way! I don't have time to waste with you all right now!"
With that, the Kyung Clan's soldiers immediately formed a triangle in front of Luo Lan and forcefully separated the crowd. Then they quickly evacuated with Luo Lan.
Some of them wanted to get into their vehicles, but a soldier discovered that some unlucky kid had punctured their tires. It was probably done by the group of people who were sitting quietly. As they could not beat up Luo Lan, they could only resort to such petty actions like children venting their anger. It was really ridiculous.
Luo Lan took a look at the tires before turning around and running away without any hesitation. He ran in the opposite direction of the Wang Clan's troops.
If it were anyone else, they would have stood by the car and sighed for a long time. But Luo Lan felt that there was no need to dwell on it anymore since it had already come to this. Even a minute's delay could very well cause trouble.
When the group of people who were protesting saw that Luo Lan was about to run away, they got even more excited. "He's scared! Chase after him!"
"That's right, beat him when he's down!"
When the Kyung Clan's soldiers heard that, they were a little angry. They wanted to turn around and take advantage of the chaos to teach those people a lesson. However, Luo Lan immediately shouted at them, "Why are you still angry at them? Run!"
The reporter from Hope Media, Zhou Tao, wondered, "Luo Lan, why are you running away in such a hurry? Are you really as scared as they say?"
"I can't be bothered to explain it to you right now. Stop talking. It's easy to get a heart attack if you talk while running!" After saying that, Luo Lan shut up and ran away without saying another word.
Although Luo Lan did not see any danger until now, he firmly believed in his own judgment.
If he did not have such good judgment, he would not have survived all the dangers he had faced earlier!
The reporter from Hope Media, Zhou Tao, was a little puzzled. It didn't look like Luo Lan was trying to hide from the group of protesters.
But a moment later, an alarm suddenly rang out in the stronghold. The sound of the bell was urgent and ear-piercing, and it made everyone panic.
It was also because of this that everyone suddenly realized something had really happened in the stronghold!
Zhou Tao suddenly looked at Luo Lan, who was in front of him. He did not even understand how Luo Lan had managed to deduce that.
As he continued running, Luo Lan thought to himself, 'I should be able to avoid this calamity since I'm so eager to run for my life, right?' But as he ran, he actually saw someone running towards him.
If someone was running from the opposite direction, it meant there was also danger ahead of Luo Lan and the others!
Without saying a word, Luo Lan turned around and started running south. But before long, he realized there were also people running towards him from the south.
"What the hell is going on?" Luo Lan felt a little desperate. "Why are people running towards the center of the stronghold from all directions? Just what is it that's making the stronghold residents so afraid?!"
He stopped someone and asked, "Why are y 'all running for your lives!"
That person who was running for his life wanted to curse out loud, but when he saw the dozen or so fierce Kyung Clan soldiers around Luo Lan, he immediately swallowed his words. "I heard that the creeper vines in the stronghold have gone crazy and are trying to capture people. They've even blocked the stronghold's entrance and are spreading towards the center of the stronghold. Some people say the creeper vines have already surrounded the stronghold!"
Luo Lan was stunned on the spot. To be honest, many plants had mutated since The Cataclysm. However, those plants did not take the initiative to attack humans. Luo Lan had never heard of such a thing happening before!
It was not only him. Most people felt the same way. No one had ever thought plants would attack humans!
Other than the few people who had seen the Brambles and Potato Shooters, 99.99% of the people in this world thought the same. Therefore, Wang Zhongrui only found it a little strange when he saw the creeper vines. However, he did not think plants could pose any threat to him.
As for those who had seen the Brambles and Potato Shooters before, they were basically all dead. As such, no one gave any warnings in advance.
It was this error in thinking that led to the tragedy that befell Stronghold 61 today!
Luo Lan shouted at the Kyung Clan soldiers around him, "We can't escape from this enclosed environment. We have to hide first!"
