How important were the supplies at the forward operating base? They were extremely important!
The Pyro Company had built the defensive line in the north in a hurry this time, so the manpower and material resources required to build the New Great Wall could be said to be tremendous. If the Pyro Company had not fought the Kong Clan before, it would not have been a problem for them to build the northern defensive line with their strength.
But the enemies from the north had come at the wrong time. The Pyro Company had launched an all-out war against the Kong Clan, so they were forced to return to the north from the south at a time like this.
If the supplies at the forward operating base could not be transported to the northern defensive line in time, the refugees and stronghold residents who were building the New Great Wall would probably have to starve.
Even the Pyro Company's main forces might not have enough to eat.
And the most critical issue was the ammunition. P5092's 3rd Division had already fought several tough battles in the South, and their most famous artillery unit was running out of ammunition. A few days ago, they had used the artillery to plow the ground when they were fighting the barbarians. If they ran out of ammunition now, it would probably be difficult for the artillery unit to perform well.
Actually, the artillery shells used by the artillery unit were not worth much, nor were they high-end equipment. It was just that it would take time to produce the next batch!
Therefore, when the Pyro Company faced this war, their weakness was not in themselves but in the battle with the Kong Clan.
If they knew there would be people coming from the north, they would definitely not have launched an all-out war against the Kong Clan at this time.
When the commander of the forward operating base saw the explosion, his heart sank.
Ren Xiaosu had already plunged into the smoke and was quickly heading in the direction of the supply wagons.
He covered his mouth and nose with a square towel and even wore goggles to prevent the smoke from affecting his breathing organs and eyes.
He was less than a kilometer away from the supply wagons. With Ren Xiaosu's speed, it only took him a few dozen seconds to get there.
But by the time he arrived, there was nothing left except for the flames.
The wagons were burning fiercely. As Ren Xiaosu was walking, he suddenly heard a commotion nearby. He slowly approached it, but the thing hidden in the smoke had sensed him in advance. Then it turned around and fled in the direction of the wilderness!
Ren Xiaosu quickly chased after him, but his opponent's speed was not much slower than his. He took out the heavy machine gun from his dimensional pocket and held it in his arms. As he chased after his target, he fired at him with the heavy machine gun.
But the smoke was too thick, and Ren Xiaosu could not see the target's exact whereabouts. He could only shoot blindly.
Seeing that he did not hit his target after a long time, Ren Xiaosu had no choice but to give up. He tried his best to distinguish the footsteps of the other party in the smoke to track the direction of the other party.
But at this time, Ren Xiaosu was puzzled. What was this thing? Why did its footsteps sound like those of a wild beast? The sound of running away was clearly similar to the way a feline's feet landed on the ground.
But why would wild beasts blow up the supply wagons? Ren Xiaosu had a vague guess in his heart, but he couldn't be sure!
Both parties quickly arrived at the edge of the forward operating base. It was at this moment that Ren Xiaosu realized the other party had not broken through the barbed wire to get in. Instead, it had dug a hole in the ground from the outside!
The monster plunged into the hole and disappeared in the blink of an eye. It wasn't until the very last moment that Ren Xiaosu saw the gray skin on the other party's body!
The Experimentals!
This time, Ren Xiaosu was really at a loss. How could it be the Experimentals?!
Didn't those things all die in Stronghold 74 along with the Kyung Clan's nuclear bombs?
Ever since Stronghold 74 was destroyed, Ren Xiaosu did not take the Experimentals seriously anymore. That was because he felt the Experimentals must have all been wiped out by now.
He was not the only one who thought so. The entire world thought so too, especially the Kyung Clan. In Luo Lan's words, no life form could have survived that devastating explosion.
But only now did Ren Xiaosu realize some of the Experimentals had probably already left Stronghold 74 before the nuclear bombs arrived!
This surprised Ren Xiaosu greatly. He had not expected to see the Experimentals here, and P5092 probably did not expect it either.
Therefore, P5092's plan only targeted the barbarians, and he had successfully targeted them. However, there were still other forces hidden in the wilderness. As a result, the supplies at the forward operating base still ran into problems in the end.
This was the charm of war. No matter how well-prepared you were, you could still lose your efforts due to an accident.
Ren Xiaosu looked at the wilderness outside the barbed wire fence. He suddenly drew his black saber and slashed open the fence before chasing after the Experimentals.
It was a very risky decision to make. But he suddenly remembered that Yang Xiaojin had said she had seen a figure on a mountain.
At that time, Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin thought it might just be a barbarian in charge of keeping watch. But now, Ren Xiaosu had a new theory!
The Experimentals were terrifying things. Their terror did not lie in how destructive they were, but in the fact that they could keep using humans as carriers to create new Experimentals.
Once the number of Experimentals exceeded 10,000, they would have the strength to break through the stronghold.
It had only been slightly more than an hour since the barbarians broke through the forward operating base. It was midnight now.
There was no moon tonight, and huge dark clouds shrouded the land. Ren Xiaosu traversed through the wilderness and approached the place where Yang Xiaojin had spotted the figure.
But just as he was about to approach the mountain, a black wind suddenly blew over from the crown of an elm tree by the road.
The Experimental that Ren Xiaosu had been tracking did not run far away. Instead, it hid in the crown of the tree and planned to ambush him!
In the blink of an eye, the Experimental had spread its arms and pounced at him from the sky. But just as it was about to grab Ren Xiaosu, Ren Xiaosu suddenly lowered his waist and stretched out his hand. His arm accurately passed through the gaps between the Experimental's baring fangs and claws and grabbed its neck before slamming it into the ground.
With a loud bang, the Experimental was thrown over its shoulder onto the ground and fell unconscious. It had probably never seen a human who could overwhelm it so much in terms of physical strength!
Ren Xiaosu sized up the Experimental on the ground. This was the first time he was observing it in such detail. This Experimental was most likely an adult male. All of its body hair had disappeared, leaving only its smooth gray skin. It looked strangely sticky and disgusting like a venomous snake.
The Experimental was lying on the ground, its chest rising and falling as it breathed. Ren Xiaosu had one foot on its chest and was prepared to end its life with the black saber.
This was not the Experimental he had been chasing earlier. That was because it was much faster than this one, so this was a trap.
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu heard a new commotion coming from the forest. Four, five, six …
Had he made his way into the Experimentals' nest? Ren Xiaosu grinned. He was really lucky.
In the distance, the forward operating base was still burning, and the sound of gunfire was so loud that it was almost tearing the sky apart. No one noticed that a thrilling life-and-death battle was taking place several hundred meters away from the forward operating base.
