At this moment, Ren Xiaosu could only rejoice that he had escaped fast enough. He was even glad that he had encountered the Experimentals along the way. Otherwise, he would not have been able to avoid the volcanic eruption.
The accumulated power of the volcano finally erupted at this moment. Qing Zhen sighed as he looked at this scene in the ruined city. "What a pity."
No one knew what he was feeling sorry about this time.
Someone beside Qing Zhen asked, "Boss, what should we do now?"
But just as he finished speaking, a shocking roar of some creature came from the crater of the volcano. The roar seemed to have traveled dozens of kilometers in an instant!
Ren Xiaosu turned around and saw a huge claw suddenly grabbing the edge of the crater at the top of the volcano. It looked like it was trying to climb out of there!
Was there actually some kind of creature hiding in the volcano? What kind of creature could survive in the magma? If even such a terrifying creature had appeared, then what kind of terrifying existence was the creature he had encountered in the river but did not see with his own eyes?
Qing Zhen sighed and said, "To think that such a thing actually exists. Retreat from the west to the Jing Mountains for now. Mission failed."
Qing Zhen's trusted aide looked in the direction of the volcano and said in a daze, "What the hell is that thing …."
"Yan Tao, call that useless brother of mine." Qing Zhen looked at the volcano and said, "If that thing climbs out, or if a large number of the Experimentals are forced south by the volcano, Stronghold 113 will be in danger."
That trusted aide named Yan Tao was stunned. Did Qing Zhen think the stronghold would not be able to hold on? He instinctively reached for the satellite phone, but he realized he could not make any calls with it.
The heat wave caused by the volcanic eruption had started sweeping through the entire Jing Mountains. As a matter of fact, there was more than one volcano in the Jing Mountains. When Qing Zhen saw this, he said, "Let's get out of here first!"
This sea of fire seemed to be trying to completely bury the secret of the Jing Mountains.
When Xu Man and the others received the order to retreat, they fired their guns in an orderly manner as they retreated. They did not panic because of the volcanic eruption. Instead, they seemed to have calmed down a little in this dangerous environment.
The moment they retreated from the edge of the forest into the city, the person beside Qing Zhen suddenly pressed the remote control in his hand. In an instant, the boundary between the forest and the city seemed to be ignited by a line of fire.
The explosives that the Kyung Clan Consortium had planted long ago detonated at the same time, completely blocking off the Experimentals to the north of the forest. Even though the Experimentals were powerful creatures, half of them were killed or injured. The remaining Experimentals that were not affected by the explosives stared coldly at the retreating Kyung Clan Consortium through the wall of fire.
The Experimentals did not hesitate for too long. They re-entered the forest, intending to circle around this area.
Xu Man panted as he returned to Qing Zhen's side. He lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't manage to bring Xu Xianchu back."
"It's fine." Qing Zhen shook his head. "Get in the car. We'll head west. There should be another way back to Stronghold 112 from there."
After saying that, Qing Zhen turned around and left, the heels of his leather shoes tapping on the ground calmly.
At the edge of the city, a large number of military transport trucks and off-road vehicles were parked there, as well as a lot of heavy machinery.
Xu Man did not move. Qing Zhen turned around and looked at him. "You want to ask me why I sent people to save you? You don't have to be too touched. It's just a deal between us. I sent people to save you because you're still useful to me. "
Xu Man opened his mouth as though he wanted to say something.
However, Qing Zhen just smiled. "Save your words of loyalty. I've never believed in such things."
But at this moment, a soldier in front of them shouted, "This is bad! Our vehicles can't be driven anymore. Come over and take a look at the tires …."
Xu Man was stunned. "What's going on? Did the tires burst? We brought a jack and a machine to patch and inflate the tires. They'll be fine after some patching."
The soldier said with a bitter expression, "It's not that the tires burst. Someone cut off our tires …."
Xu Man was speechless.
Qing Zhen was speechless.
The smile on the originally calm Qing Zhen's face slowly stiffened. "… Xu Xianchu, this is the first time I've wanted to kill someone so badly. Xu Man, bring me a combat uniform …. "
Qing Zhen and Xu Man knew that "Xu Xianchu" had fled to the south, but they really did not expect something like this to happen.
In Xu Man's opinion, puncturing the tires was already good enough. But in the end, not only was puncturing the tires not enough, the other party even cut off the tires!
Having the tires cut off meant that everyone in the Kyung Clan Consortium would have to walk out of the Jing Mountains. It was not that there would be any danger, but it would make them look a little disheveled if they continued to wear their white suits.
Xu Man whispered behind Qing Zhen, "If you fail this mission, you might be punished within the consortium."
Qing Zhen did not mind. "It's fine. Those old fogeys will always need someone to work for them. I'm just taking a break."
"What should we do with that Ren Xiaosu?" Xu Man asked.
"If he doesn't die in the Jing Mountains, he'll definitely find a way to get back to Stronghold 113." Qing Zhen thought for a moment and said, "When the satellite phones can be used again, get Luo Lan to keep an eye on him. As for how to deal with him, I haven't thought of it yet. Also, get him to quickly send Zhang Jinglin away. This person can't die in our hands. The person who assassinated him might already be on the way."
…
It was indeed Ren Xiaosu who cut off the tires of the Kyung Clan Consortium's vehicles. At that time, the Kyung Clan Consortium was distracted by fighting the Experimentals, so it would be a waste not to cut off the tires.
Moreover, Ren Xiaosu had been chased by the Kyung Clan Consortium for so long. If he did not take revenge, he would not be able to vent his anger!
The volcano behind him was still erupting, and the moon in the sky had already been obscured by the rising smoke. Moreover, the eruption seemed to be getting more and more violent.
Ren Xiaosu was a little puzzled. Just what was that creature that roared in the crater just now? He did not see it completely show itself until the end.
When he left the city, he saw the Kyung Clan Consortium's gunpowder explosions at the edge of the city. Ren Xiaosu also witnessed once again how terrifying the firearms and explosives possessed by humans were.
Ren Xiaosu kept heading back south the way he came. He suspected he might encounter more Experimentals along the way. But if they weren't as large as before, Ren Xiaosu was actually not that afraid anymore.
When the shadow clone's super strength and speed combined with the black saber, its destructive power would be immeasurable.
With these two powers stacked together to form an even more powerful combination, was this Ren Xiaosu's future path?
However, this path might be a little more tortuous.
On the way back south to Stronghold 113, the most dangerous things were not the Experimentals, but the face bugs and the wolves.
Ren Xiaosu rested on the shadow clone's back the entire way. Meanwhile, the shadow clone seemed to be taking a stroll in the air. Its legs were so fast that they almost left afterimages behind.
Although this made Ren Xiaosu look like a disabled person who needed to rely on others to get around, Ren Xiaosu did not care.
During this period, he even made a trip back to the cave they stayed in one night. As a result, he discovered a line of small, graceful words had been carved on the ceiling of the cave.
"It's right behind you."
These words were not there in the past, and the engravings were very new. In Ren Xiaosu's memory, it seemed like Yang Xiaojin had fallen behind when they set off that day. For some reason, when he saw these graceful words, he felt that Yang Xiaojin had probably carved them to scare him on purpose.
"You're really mischievous." Ren Xiaosu took a look at it and continued heading south.
An hour later, the forest fires caused by the volcanic eruption were spreading all the way south. The entire Jing Mountains had turned into a sea of fire. Ren Xiaosu could vaguely hear the sound of wild animals galloping behind him. It sounded like they were fleeing towards the canyon. However, this had nothing to do with Ren Xiaosu anymore.
It took him a long time to get here, but he returned very quickly. In just half a day, Ren Xiaosu arrived in front of the canyon. He looked at the canyon in front of him and the sliver of light above the canyon's cliffs. Ren Xiaosu did not hesitate anymore.
As long as he was fast enough, the face bugs, wolves, and loneliness would not be able to catch up to Ren Xiaosu!
Ren Xiaosu's shadow clone swept across the canyon like a gust of wind. The face bugs on the cliffs swarmed out when they sensed the human's aura. But just as they came out, Ren Xiaosu had already run out of the canyon!
The face bugs stayed quiet on the cliffs for a long time. Their antennae bumped against each other as they communicated. "Did someone just pass by?"
"Was that a fucking person?!"
The moment he passed through the canyon, dawn had just broken. A golden light was constantly penetrating the clouds in the sky. Ren Xiaosu was a little lost in thought when he saw this. He had gained a lot from this trip to the Jing Mountains, but it did not last very long.
But when he returned to the canyon, he suddenly felt like a long time had passed. It felt like a century.
He wondered how Yan Liuyuan and his Sister Xiaoyu were doing back at home. Ren Xiaosu was eager to return home.
Ren Xiaosu vaguely sensed some movement in the forest. He was stunned for a moment before realizing that the wolf pack had been moving around near the entrance of the canyon all this while. It was as though they were waiting for him to return!
Immediately after, the wolf pack that was slowly closing in saw Ren Xiaosu swagger through the gaps between them on his shadow clone's back. He did not even give them a chance to react!
The wolf pack stopped in their tracks and quietly watched as Ren Xiaosu left. He was actually moving faster than them …
The Wolf King also fell silent. They had waited here for so many days for nothing?!
