"There's a way, and that's to use high-energy fuel or something like a white phosphorus bomb to burn down this stronghold. But if the fire spreads to the center of the stronghold, we'll be dead before the creeper vines die." Luo Lan continued, "If the creeper vines start moving again, I'm afraid we'll really be at the end of the road."
Zhou Qi frowned. "Continue looking for an enclosed environment. As long as we don't face too many vines at the same time, I might be able to hold them off for some time with my abilities."
Luo Lan sighed and said, "The last time I faced such a predicament, I was chased by the Experimentals."
A Kyung Clan soldier suddenly asked, "Boss, how did you manage to escape from the Experimentals?"
Luo Lan recalled and said, "That's because I encountered a powerful young man. But this time, I wasn't so lucky."
Among the protesters who were following behind Luo Lan, someone suddenly stood up and asked, "Luo Lan, are these plants part of your scheme?"
Luo Lan was surprised. "Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? Isn't this an auspicious sign for your Wang Clan? "
When someone saw the creeper vines, they even purposely described it as an auspicious sign for the Wang Clan. They said Wang Shengzhi had managed over a dozen strongholds and the Wang Clan Consortium well, which was why such an auspicious sign had appeared.
But now that they thought about it, it was just a joke.
"Then how did you know the crisis was coming in advance?!" the protester asked loudly.
Luo Lan was amused. "Didn't you see all those military vehicles passing by while you were sitting down there? It's because you're used to living a comfortable life and like pigs reared by others in the stronghold. When the crisis came, you didn't have any judgment at all. There was news about the creeper vines a long time ago, so what does it have to do with me? Do you think I'm sowing seeds from afar? If I had that ability, your wife wouldn't be infertile!"
The protester's face darkened!
The corners of the Kyung Clan soldier's mouth twitched. It looked like Boss Luo was also having a headache from being surrounded by the creeper vines. Otherwise, he would not have started spouting nonsense.
However, they didn't think much of it. After all, Boss Luo was a hooligan …
At this moment, Luo Lan looked around. The other residents had already fled towards the center of the stronghold, leaving them alone at the edge of the creeper vine.
Luo Lan suddenly asked, "Hehe, do you think no one will know if we kill them now?"
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the protesters changed. This time, they were really afraid!
They dared to raise banners and protest against Luo Lan because they knew Luo Lan could not do anything to them while he was in the Wang Clan's stronghold. But now that order was gone, their protective barrier was gone!
However, Luo Lan didn't really want to kill them. The reporter from Hope Media, Zhou Tao, coughed and said, "I will report the truth."
"Alright, alright, I got it." Luo Lan waved his hand impatiently. "You've seen what kind of people they are. I won't hold it against them, but Hope Media should also understand that using such means to disgust me, Luo Lan, is too lowly."
With that, Luo Lan led the way to the center of the stronghold.
Regardless of whether the creeper vines would spread further, they had to get into the stronghold now and snatch some food before finding a safe and reliable place to protect themselves!
The stronghold was already in chaos. Not long after Luo Lan walked in, he saw some people breaking down the doors of shops and going in to snatch food and water.
"We're not stupid. We all know that food and water are the most important things right now," Luo Lan said with a smile. He did not look like he was in a dangerous city at all.
After the group of people robbed the shops, they bumped into Luo Lan and a group of Kyung Clan soldiers smiling at them as they went out. Then they robbed them.
Luo Lan distributed food to Zhou Qi and the others and instructed, "This should be enough for us to last for three days. Keep the food on you and hide it well."
Everyone in the dangerous city was in a state of panic. The protesters no longer followed Luo Lan and the others. Instead, they went off to look for the other residents of Stronghold 61 and the Wang Clan Consortium's troops.
Along the way, when they saw others snatching food, they also followed suit. However, they would secretly hide the food on them after snatching it. They no longer looked as united as before.
Zhou Qi said, "Should we look for the Wang Clan Consortium's troops? We're foreign guests, after all. From a political point of view, they have to protect us. Otherwise, they won't be able to withstand Qing Zhen's wrath even if he takes it out on us."
If Luo Lan died here, Qing Zhen would really drop a nuclear bomb on the Wang Clan's stronghold! Even if the real culprit was actually a plant!
However, Luo Lan shook his head and said, "A lot of the Wang Clan Consortium's troops must've survived, but do you think firearms can protect us? It's not like they're Experimentals. Old Zhou … we still have to rely on you at critical times! I've always found you to be very reliable. You're a good brother who can step forward at critical times …. "
Zhou Qi curled his lips. "Let me say this in advance: I can't protect you."
"I'll pay you more!" Luo Lan said.
"I can't protect you even if you pay me more." Zhou Qi roared, "Can you get a clear understanding of the situation!"
"Let's find a house with fewer doors and windows to defend it." Luo Lan sighed and said, "Let's hope the reinforcements can get here sooner. Although I don't know what the reinforcements can do to this plant, I can only hope that the Wang Clan doesn't set the entire stronghold on fire. If only Ren Xiaosu were here. He could just kill his way out and be done with it."
"Come on." Zhou Qi said in a speechless manner, "Just look at the creeper vines outside. Even if Ren Xiaosu were here, he wouldn't be able to kill his way out!"
…
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu, who was outside the stronghold, stood in front of the gate and looked at the dense creeper vines in front of him. He turned to Zhou Yingxue and said, "Can you control the creeper vines?"
Zhou Yingxue looked troubled. "Master, do we really have to go in? Didn't you hear what the Wang Clan's soldiers said? This stronghold is finished. When they were fleeing for their lives, they saw the creeper vines devouring a third of the stronghold from the walls. Looking at the time, the entire stronghold will probably be covered by the creeper vines by now. Luo Lan is dead for sure. Are we really going in to save him? "
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and said, "Based on how crafty Luo Lan is, I think he'll definitely survive until the end. Regardless of whether he's dead or alive, I still have to go in and take a look."
Zhou Yingxue muttered, "Why do we have to save that fatty?"
Ren Xiaosu said in seriousness, "He's my friend."
Zhou Yingxue suddenly realized that Ren Xiaosu was like two extremes. He could disregard the life and death of those who were not his friends. But if they were his friends, he would go through fire and water for them.
Ren Xiaosu could tell that Zhou Yingxue was puzzled, so he casually explained, "Because I don't have many friends, every one of them is very important to me. If one of them dies, I'll have one less."
"Alright then." Zhou Yingxue sighed and said, "I tried it just now. It seems that we're too far away from the creeper vines' roots, so I can't control them."
"Is that so?" Ren Xiaosu looked at the creeper vines and silently assessed the possibility of him trying to force his way through.
At this moment, Zhou Yingxue added, "But I can make it not attack me."
