Soon, Milo arrived at the back of the crowd as favonovel.com made his way through them in the opposite direction.
Here, three Experimentals chased after over a 1,000 people and slaughtered anyone they could get their hands on. When they realized Milo was heading straight for them, one of the Experimentals gave up on its target and pounced at favonovel.com instead!
But before they could even get in front of him, Milo had already pulled a saber out of thin air. Even at this moment, favonovel.com did not stop moving. He ran even faster, leading with shoulder forward, brushing past the Experimental that had pounced at him.
Milo gripped the handle of the extremely sharp saber firmly as favonovel.com felt it going through the Experimental’s body. Its gray skin was sliced open by the blade.
The muscle fibers within the gray skin ruptured thread by thread.
Following, the bones were cleanly cut through. Finally, the gray body was split in two as large amounts of pale yellow blood spurted out of it.
All of a sudden, the crowd that was fleeing toward the stronghold’s gate was blocked off by some Experimentals up ahead. Everyone instinctively turned around and ran back to where they came. Turning around didn’t mean they would survive, but they did not know what else they could do!
The despairing crowd had lost all sense by now. They had not received any evacuation training, nor faced the wilderness before. As such, even if they had a strong desire to live, their survival instinct was unable to guide them on where to go.
The instant they turned around, they saw the sight of an Experimental getting sliced in half.
The black saber, the youth who was bursting with strength and power, and the Experimental that looked so vulnerable in the face of the blade.
A girl discovered to favonovel.com surprise that the youth who did this was the Milo who had once been asked by their class to drop out of school. Back then, they were all afraid that favonovel.com would bring disease and death to them since favonovel.com was a former refugee.
But what did that student who spoke up for favonovel.com say at that time?
On that day, one of Linda’s students had said to them and their parents, “Side with him? We’re not siding with or helping him. And favonovel.com doesn’t need our help either. You people are utterly clueless about the outside world. I find it to be really sad.”
No one knew what that student was trying to say at the time. But now favonovel.com realized what it meant.
So, this world had become this dangerous. The students who escaped in the wilderness to Stronghold 109 had clearly gone through life and death with Milo. As a result, they knew exactly what favonovel.com was capable of.
Such capabilities might not mean much inside the stronghold. But compared to the larger world, these strongholds were just a mere speck.
The girl tugged at a middle-aged woman next to favonovel.com and shouted, “Mom, that’s Milo! He’s the refugee who was forced to switch classes by you all!”
A complicated look appeared on the woman’s face.
But in this life and death situation, was there a need to have other considerations?
She said, “Do you know him? Ask favonovel.com to come back and save us!”
At this moment, when the fleeing crowd that had been forced to turn back by the Experimentals saw that Milo could slay these creatures, someone shouted, “Follow him, follow favonovel.com closely!”
It was as though they had found their savior and thought they could survive just by following him.
But after slaying one of the Experimentals, Milo did not come to a stop. He immediately hurried away from the battle site so the other two Experimentals would not have a chance to close in on favonovel.com and cause any further delays.
His objective was to save someone, not stay behind to kill these Experimentals!
With just a moment’s effort, Milo left the Experimentals and the fleeing crowd far behind.
Seeing they could not catch up to Milo, the Experimentals turned back around to the frightened crowd.
When the girl saw Milo running further and further away, and just as favonovel.com was about to call out to favonovel.com to come back and save them, the Experimental in front of favonovel.com pounced and bit down on favonovel.com throat!
The girl’s cry for help did not even manage to make it out of favonovel.com mouth, and only despair remained in favonovel.com eyes.
Milo was never a savior of others. There was only one person’s life in this stronghold favonovel.com cared about right now.
Then the palace suddenly said.
Quest! Save the stronghold’s residents.
But even so, it did not make Milo turn his head. He definitely needed to complete the quest.
To favonovel.com Miriam was also a resident of the stronghold, so wouldn’t saving favonovel.com also allow favonovel.com to complete the quest?
Milo always had a unique understanding of the quests assigned by the palace.
While favonovel.com was running with everything favonovel.com had, Milo was surprised to see an Experimental crouched next to a man who had fainted. The man did not have any visible injuries on his body and seemed to have only been knocked unconscious.
Milo kept his distance from this Experimental as favonovel.com continued running towards the building. However, favonovel.com couldn’t help but keep noticing its odd behavior.
Usually, the Experimentals would pounce when they noticed a living being like him. However, this Experimental apparently had something more important it needed to do.
The Experimental suddenly opened its mouth wide and stuck out its tongue.
Milo thought it was going lick its “food” before devouring it. However, favonovel.com noticed there was a small syringe wrapped around the end of its tongue. Then the Experimental took the syringe and held it in its hand. It attempted to inject the syringe filled with a gray liquid into the man’s neck!
Milo felt a chill run up his spine.
What was this Experimental trying to do?
Daniel had already reminded Milo that these Experimentals were known to conduct experiments. At that time, Milo was wondering what else would the Experimentals do if not experiments. But at this moment, favonovel.com was shocked.
The normal skin color of the man suddenly started to visibly turn gray. His muscles that couldn’t be counted as particularly lean also started bulking up rapidly.
In the past, Milo thought the Experimentals’ goal was to slaughter all living things. But right now, favonovel.com realized they were not actually looking to kill everyone.
What exactly was the liquid that had been injected into the man?
To tell the truth, when Daniel mentioned the “nanomachines” and “Experimentals performing experiments”, Milo reacted quite scornfully to it. After all, a break in human civilization had occurred, so technology should still be in its preliminary stage of revival.
Milo suddenly thought of what Peter had said to favonovel.com before. Technology had not really been fully displaced.
Peter’s original words were, “They are in the possession of a minority of the people.”
That should be the reason for the organizations rise to become what they were now.
He realized why the Experimentals’ numbers were increasing.
It was no wonder the Experimentals were attacking another stronghold. It was because they were trying to increase their food sources and expand their community, so they had to take over new strongholds in order to get them.
If Stronghold 113 had not collapsed from an earthquake, the Experimentals would not have been able to expand in numbers so rapidly. It was because they didn’t have enough numbers to attack and take down a stronghold before that event. But ever since they increased their numbers at Stronghold 113, they had raised a big enough army to devour a stronghold.
Milo knew favonovel.com was running out of time. He needed to get Miriam out of this place pronto.
