Before today, all the acts of violence were more like a test. They were sporadic and did not pose any threat to the foundation of Luoyang City.
Just like the time Zhang Baogen killed someone, it was only because someone had hired him and used him as a tool.
Someone probably wanted to see how fast the garrison troops and the Knight could react. That was why such a thing happened.
But it was different now. It was as though the entire stronghold had been premeditated as chaos broke out everywhere.
This was the real time for a massacre.
Ren Xiaosu frowned and said, "There's nothing they want at Qinghe University, so why would they start a massacre here? And why did they choose to do it during the day? I'm afraid this is just an act to disrupt the Qinghe Group's line of sight. These people haven't gotten serious yet. "
Jiang Xu said, "I think the same as you. There's still five hours before the sun sets, but the most critical moment will probably still be at night. Go and save those students. They're innocent. "
After that, Jiang Xu saw Ren Xiaosu rushing towards the source of the chaos.
The crowd of students was fleeing in all directions. Perhaps it was because of what Jiang Xu had said in class. After the chaos started, the students in that class took the lead and fled in the direction of the garrison troops. They even shouted for the other students to follow them as they fled.
However, the other party's plan was very thorough. Before they could escape to the cordoned off area at the entrance of the garrison troops, the thugs rushed out from all directions and drove them away in an orderly fashion. In the end, most of the students were driven into Teaching Block 11.
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu suddenly rushed into their encirclement. However, the thugs did not think too much of it and just treated him as a panicking student. They chased him into the school building together.
Ren Xiaosu did not choose to make a move immediately because the students here were too densely packed. Even a stray bullet from the battlefield could kill a large number of students. Therefore, he planned to wait for an opportunity.
There were about a dozen thugs, but they did not intend to take control of all the students in the school. There were only a few hundred of them, so it was easy to control them.
Then, the entire teaching building was taken over by criminals with loaded guns. Then, the criminals drove the students into a lecture hall and locked them up together.
With the black muzzles pointed at them, the students didn't dare to resist at all. They obediently allowed themselves to be ordered around like sheep.
All the students in the entire teaching building were squeezed into this classroom in fear. They didn't know when these bandits had entered the campus and why the garrison troops didn't react at all.
Some students saw through the window that the criminals outside were all wearing masks. After the criminals searched the entire building, they didn't kill anyone but just locked them up.
These criminals seemed to have a plan. They immediately dismantled the desks and chairs in the classroom and piled them up at the four entrances of the teaching building. Then, after these bunkers were built, the criminals even set up heavy machine guns inside!
By the time the garrison troops arrived, these well-trained criminals had already sealed off the entire teaching building. They had even set up bunkers on the rooftops. Although they couldn't see what was behind the bunkers, there were definitely criminals occupying high vantage points and equipped with heavy firepower.
The garrison troops' commanding officer looked around and realized the location these criminals had chosen to defend must have been premeditated. That was because Teaching Building 11 was the tallest building on Qinghe University's campus.
The other teaching buildings only had five or six stories, but Teaching Building 11 was newly built and had eight stories.
Therefore, even if the garrison troops' snipers came over, all the other suitable sniping positions would be within range of these criminals. If anyone climbed up to the rooftops of the other buildings, they would only end up being targeted by these people.
Moreover, Teaching Building 11 was located very cleverly away from the various outposts, so the garrison troops could not react in time.
It wasn't until the criminals had completely taken control of the entire teaching building that the first batch of garrison troops rushed over.
Qinghe University was simply too big. No matter how they defended it, unless they stationed an entire unit of troops here, it would be impossible to defend against them.
But with a large number of troops stationed here, what about the other places in Luoyang City?
It could only be said that there were too many people with ulterior motives in Luoyang City.
The garrison troops' commanding officer pondered this. These people were definitely professional soldiers. If they were not, they would not have such strong teamwork. He wondered how many people the Xu clan's relatives had allowed into the stronghold over the years. It was really a headache.
After the garrison troops arrived, they immediately evacuated the unharmed students outside the teaching building to a safe area. The entire teaching building was sealed off from afar, and barricades and defensive bunkers were set up.
Suddenly, the communication device connected, and Old Li's voice rang out, "There should be a supernatural being on our side on campus right now. If he makes a move, you must cooperate fully with him. He's not one of our Knight's men. He's just an external helper. With him around, you should be able to end the crisis on your side very quickly. "
The garrison troops' soldiers were surprised. Old Li had actually raised the supernatural being's status by so much. "Can you tell us what he looks like? Or do you want him to quickly come and join us here? Up until now, we haven't seen any supernatural beings coming to help us."
Old Li was clearly taken aback. Wasn't Ren Xiaosu on campus at this moment?
The commanding officer said in a low voice, "Sir, could he have just left?"
"That's impossible." Old Li frowned and said, "Carry out your plan first and wait for him to show up. Remember, if he makes a move, you must cooperate with him."
"Roger," the garrison troops' commanding officer replied. However, he was a little puzzled as to why Old Li would trust an external helper to successfully resolve the crisis at hand.
With no other choice, the garrison troops could only start formulating a rescue plan. A soldier looked at Teaching Block 11 and said, "Sir, that supernatural being … wouldn't be locked up in the teaching block, right?"
The garrison troops' commanding officer was stunned. He looked at Teaching Block 11 and thought it might really be possible.
Before the garrison troops could come up with a detailed rescue plan, they heard someone shouting through a loudspeaker in the teaching block, "Inform the Qinghe Group that we have to gain control of the seven satellites before nightfall. Otherwise, we'll have to kill a student every minute."
In the lecture hall, Ren Xiaosu thought to himself, 'These people are really stalling for time. Why else would they wait until nightfall instead of asking for it now?'
Under normal circumstances, after the thugs gained control of the situation, they would make a forceful request. But now, the thugs had given the Qinghe Group five hours to do so.
More and more garrison troops started converging on the various chaotic locations. There were as many as three incidents of thugs taking hostages in the entire stronghold.
Ren Xiaosu did not know where the other two locations were. He felt that since the other party had planned this meticulously, they would probably have a hidden motive for taking the hostages.
At this moment, everyone in the lecture hall was panicking. Some of the students were already crying. A female student sobbed softly and said, "Will the Knight come to save us?"
Ren Xiaosu, who was in the lecture hall, was observing the situation outside through the window as he replied casually, "They'll definitely come to save us. But I heard that when they encountered someone taking hostages yesterday, they killed the hostages on the spot."
Immediately, the crying in the lecture hall became even more intense.
Weren't they hostages now?
