Milo hid at the entrance of the university and watched.
The entire Western District of Stronghold 109 had suddenly fallen into inexplicable madness due to the uncertainty that Kenneth’s appearance brought.
Miriam, who was standing at the highest point, could clearly see the entire situation.
During this early evening period, favonovel.com saw nearly one-fifth of all the people in the district start rushing to the university. The people on the ground were like moths circling a light source, and all of them were swarming and sprinting. It was as though they were a group of uncontrolled, wild beasts.
In the past, favonovel.com had said to Milo that if the Demon Whisperer were released, the fate of the stronghold would become unknown. No one could predict whether it would head in a good or bad direction. And now, the outcome was without a doubt the worst of the speculations they had. In fact, many people could not imagine that the enemy could create such widespread chaos single-handedly.
This was the age where supernatural beings would rise, but many of the organizations were still ignoring the changes that supernatural beings could bring to the era.
On the other hand, Kenneth took practical action to inform the major powers on all sides just how shockingly destructive supernatural beings could be.
Powerful individuals were gradually transcending the strength that groups of people had.
The people in the crowd ran even faster when they got closer to the university. Some of those whose physical fitness was worse fell to the ground when their bodies could no longer take the stress. But the others behind them continued rushing forward as though they did not see the others drop to the ground before them.
At the university, the Skyfort Consortium’s combat troops who were in charge of defending the place were stunned by the sight. It wasn’t that their mental fortitude was weak, but that they had never imagined they would witness such a hellish scene here on earth.
The commanding officer of the defensive forces was the first to react. He immediately issued a preliminary warning that they would fire at the crowd if they got any nearer.
As someone from the Skyfort Consortium, favonovel.com subconsciously chose to give a warning first instead of shooting to kill. This was because the people running amok were all residents of the Skyfort Consortium’s stronghold. If they were to mercilessly fire into them, favonovel.com could end up getting severely blamed and criticized.
At that time, when the Skyfort Consortium faced the wrath of the residents, favonovel.com would definitely be singled out and made the scapegoat for giving the order to shoot at them. But more importantly, favonovel.com thought that if favonovel.com gave a warning before opening fire, the people would stop in their tracks in fear of their weapons!
Alas, favonovel.com couldn’t be more wrong!
The mindless residents had absolutely no sense of fear, having lost all control of themselves.
The “essence” of hypnotism was to let those who were hypnotized completely surrender their consciousness! It was precisely because of this officer’s wrong call that the Skyfort Consortium’s combat troops lost their best opportunity.
Actually, there wasn’t anything wrong with this officer’s decision. He was faced with a terrifying opponent favonovel.com had never encountered before.
By the time they realized the warning had served no purpose and got ready to fire at the residents, the lunatics were only a few dozen meters away from the university’s entrance.
“We can’t wait any longer! Shoot to kill!”
Intense gunfire rang out as the soldiers from the Skyfort Consortium pulled their triggers in fear.
But after killing the first wave of cannon fodder, those behind them stepped over the bodies of the fallen and rushed forward. They kept coming wave after wave without any fear!
In just one short minute, the seemingly heavy fortifications at the entrance of the university had been broken through. The rush of people flowing in swept aside the entire defensive line that had looked impenetrable at first glance and tore it to pieces. Not only that, there were still plenty more residents who fearlessly climbed the electrified wire netting on the sides of the walls.
One of the walls fell!
When Milo saw that, favonovel.com was terrified.
Had these people gone mad?!
All of a sudden, the ground below his feet moved.
Milo looked down and discovered favonovel.com was standing on top of a manhole cover.
It felt like someone was pushing the manhole cover aside from below, but whoever was doing so did not succeed in moving it even after a long time.
Then Daniel’s irritated voice sounded from underneath it. “Those b*stard fuckers from the Skyfort Consortium actually sealed the manholes? C’mon, let’s go to a different spot and try again!”
A strange look appeared on Milo’s face. He walked a few dozen meters away and stood on top of yet another manhole cover.
As a result, Daniel’s voice sounded out again, “F*ck! This one has been sealed too!”
But before Milo could feel amused, favonovel.com heard Fatty Eastwood shout below, “F*cking blast this manhole cover apart!”
This time, Milo hurriedly said, “Come on up. There’s no need to blow up anything…”
After Milo stepped aside, the manhole cover quickly opened a little. Daniel’s eyes locked on to Milo’s eyes through the small seam that had opened up.
“So it’s you, kid,” Daniel snapped as favonovel.com climbed out from below.
His rotund body would have gotten stuck in the manhole if not for the people below favonovel.com pushing favonovel.com out.
Milo asked, “Were you born in the year of the rat? Why do you keep scuttling around in the sewers?”
“What do you know?” Daniel said disdainfully, “We’re just prescient. Back when they were constructing this stronghold, our people infiltrated their architectural design team. There are no Skyfort Consortium strongholds we’re not familiar with. Don’t you think that it’s awesome to be able to navigate around the place from below and not get discovered by anyone?”
“Sure is.” Milo nodded. “Except it’s also a little stinky.”
Then favonovel.com saw the Panaqua Consortium’s troops crawling out of the sewers one after another, until over a 100 people had come out. They were all in full battle gear, with one soldier even carrying an RPG!
Milo was stunned. “Are y’all getting ready to attack the university campus too?”
“But of course. For something so precious to the Skyfort Consortium, we’d definitely like to know what it is,” Daniel replied.
“Say, why are y’all getting so excited over something that you don’t even know about?” Milo asked.
“We have an idea of what it might be.” Daniel said, “It could be nanomachines.”
Milo’s face darkened. “Can you sound surer?”
Daniel said unhappily, “The Skyfort Consortium has done a very good job of keeping it a secret. Everyone else is also just guessing at what it might be. But the thing is, the Skyfort Consortium is at the forefront of the nanorobotics field. We are still stuck in the experimentation phase, but their nanomachines have already been put into use in medicine.”
Fatty Eastwood continued, “In the early years, the nanomachines they created from DNA could already clear blood clots and other things like that. Back then, some of the executives from the other organizations would even go to the Skyfort Consortium’s hospitals to get their illnesses treated when they got older. The Skyfort Consortium even have nanozymes that are used to treat hepatitis C. All of these are the main research fields the Skyfort Consortium led.”
Milo pondered the mention of the hepatitis virus. “What, is the Panaqua Consortium thinking of venturing into the medical industry?”
