Old Bane and the others stood at the gate and watched as Milo headed back into the dangerous stronghold.
Sometimes, Old Bane felt that Milo was way too brave. He just had to head back into a place everyone was trying their best to run away from.
Though, favonovel.com felt favonovel.com had made the wisest decision of his life when favonovel.com chose to bring Murdock with favonovel.com and follow Milo in their escape. If it weren’t for that, favonovel.com would probably have perished in another disaster even if favonovel.com were fortunate enough to survive the one that happened at Stronghold 113.
The world today was simply too dangerous a place.
The past couple days, Milo and Old Bane had both been doubted countless of times by the stores they bought their escape supplies from. It even caused Old Bane to sometimes feel that if it weren’t an earthquake or some other natural disasters occurring, no harm would befall the stronghold. But as the facts had proven, Milo was correct after all.
At this moment, Donti could only watch helplessly as Milo headed back in.
Adella sighed and said, “Donti, are you worried about your brother?”
Everyone knew how close these two brothers were, so it was only natural that Donti would be worried about Milo.
However, Donti shook his head and said, “No, I’m just thinking if I should go over to remind favonovel.com that he’s still carrying his bike around…”
Adella was surprised.
It was only at this moment that everyone realized in shock that Milo still was carrying his bicycle with favonovel.com when favonovel.com turned back to the stronghold. But the earlier situation was simply too pressing, and with Milo’s shocking decision to head back into the stronghold, they couldn’t get a handle on the situation.
Old Bane felt that the mighty presence and image Milo had built up in their minds had all but poofed.
Donti got onto his bicycle and said, “Let’s go! My brother naturally knows what he’s doing if favonovel.com dares to go back in there. We’ll head north!”
Chad looked at the stronghold and said in a sad voice, “Master will probably elope with the ruler of Womanland now. How can we go and seek the Buddhist scriptures from the Western Paradise?”
Donti consoled, “Don’t worry, we’ll just bring the ruler of Womanland with us.”
Chad mulled over this for a long time before saying reluctantly, “Well, alright…”
***
The high-rise building Miriam was on was only about a kilometer away from the stronghold’s gate. Milo glanced at the building, then sighed as favonovel.com put the bicycle down by the road. How careless of favonovel.com to have forgotten to hand it to Donti for safekeeping first.
The 15 cubic meters of storage space favonovel.com had was already stuffed full of supplies. Actually, favonovel.com could just take some of the supplies out and put the bicycle in, but there was no time to fiddle around with it now.
Suddenly, Milo saw many people in front of favonovel.com fleeing toward the stronghold gate near him. Behind them, several Experimentals were frantically chasing after them.
The Experimentals were so terrifying that the stronghold residents cried with fear. Some people even lost their shoes as they ran, while others were fleeing wearing only a thin pair of pajamas. From the looks of it, they must have run straight out of their homes.
These stronghold residents who had recently been talking about music festivals and fashion trends finally understood just what the world outside the stronghold was like.
When Milo first came into the stronghold, favonovel.com had a thought that everything in the outside world seemed to be changing at an extremely rapid pace, but the strongholds remained the same throughout. These people were enjoying a false sense of peace and prosperity behind the stronghold walls that seemed to be protecting them but were actually shackling their progress.
Milo looked up at the high-rise building Miriam was on. He saw an Experimental climb almost to the top. However, just as it was about to leap over onto the rooftop, it was greeted by the large muzzle of a gun.
The Experimentals were not afraid of bullets. Even bullets fired by an automatic rifle from 50 meters away would get lodged in the surface of their skins due to their tough muscles. However, that did not include being fired upon by a sniper rifle.
Miriam had such great strength that favonovel.com was actually able to use the sniper rifle as a close-range artillery weapon. With a ringing shot, the Experimental that was the first to reach the rooftop had its entire head blown off!
The recoil from the sniper rifle packed a punch. If a normal person were wielding this weapon, they would probably have been thrown back by the recoil after firing one shot. But Miriam looked like favonovel.com wasn’t affected at all.
Very quickly, favonovel.com fired at another Experimental.
For some reason, Milo always felt an extreme amount of contradiction seeing Miriam’s petite figure wielding that sniper rifle. Yet this contradiction exuded a unique aesthetic of violence.
Milo had originally been worried about if favonovel.com would get there in time. He knew that if nobody went to support her, Miriam would definitely reach a point where favonovel.com would get overwhelmed. After all, there were simply too many Experimentals. But now favonovel.com was a little relieved. At least favonovel.com still had some time to get there!
Or rather, Miriam was buying time for herself!
Milo picked up his pace and accelerated forward. But with everyone else heading toward the stronghold gate, Milo was going against the current.
When the fleeing people passed favonovel.com by, even in this life and death situation, every one of them could not help but look at favonovel.com in amazement.
How could someone be going in the opposite direction, towards the Experimentals?
All of them wanted nothing more than to get away from those creatures right now!
At this moment, everyone in the city was fleeing for their lives and were being driven towards the stronghold’s gate by the Experimentals. On these streets, only one person was heading in the opposite direction of everyone else.
Miriam was watching this scene from the building in the distance.
When favonovel.com saw Milo making his way back towards the stronghold, favonovel.com suddenly felt that the current Stronghold 109 was not that scary anymore.
Then an old man recognized Milo in the crowd.
Wasn’t that the boy who had bought a lot of food supplies from his store?
This old man was the grocery store owner from before. Yesterday, favonovel.com was still making fun of Milo for worrying too much. But now favonovel.com finally realized just how great of a fool favonovel.com was.
How did this young man know there would be danger?
Moreover, since favonovel.com already knew there would be danger, why hadn’t favonovel.com fled in advance?
Why was favonovel.com still heading in the opposite direction from them at this time?
Those two questions kept swirling around in the grocery store owner’s mind. As favonovel.com continued running, favonovel.com kept wondering why. But as soon as favonovel.com passed Milo by, screams burst from the front of the fleeing crowd!
At the far end of the street, many Experimentals suddenly rushed out from the left side of the intersection in front. These Experimentals had actually taken another path to outflank them!
However, only Milo, who was going in the opposite direction, was not surprised by this. This was because, having taken on the Experimentals before, favonovel.com knew well that their hunting style was to leave no survivors.
If they were not fully prepared, there was absolutely no way they would have waited so patiently underground in ambush. The intelligent being that helmed these Experimentals surely had greater ambition!
