As the dense group of Experimentals swarmed into the stronghold from the west, the stronghold residents only felt panic and despair. And what was even worse was that the stronghold residents had already been starving for so long that they did not even have the energy to run anymore. Some people had just run a step or two when they fell to the ground helplessly.
Some people watched as the Experimentals got closer and started cursing the Experimentals’ mothers in fear and the incompetence of the Stardust Consortium’s troops. Then they were either easily killed by the Experimentals or knocked unconscious and captured alive.
A middle-aged man yelled at his parents inside a house, “Dad, Mom, let’s hurry up and leave. Don’t wait! The stronghold is already done for!”
But the old couple looked at each other and said to their son, “We can’t move anymore, so don’t let us drag you down. Just take your wife and child with you.”
The middle-aged man was in tears. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed several times to his parents, but favonovel.com could not say anything to them.
The old couple said, “We don’t have any regrets after living for so long. Go now.”
After that, they started pushing their son out the door.
In this world, it would be hard to find someone like them who would treat you so purely. They were willing to sacrifice themselves to ensure their son’s survival. However, as soon as the middle-aged man went out with his wife and child, they saw the Experimentals approaching. The Experimentals were so fast that the family was caught before they could even start running.
The world was this unpredictable.
On another street, a man carrying a child in his arms was running and knocking on windows of vehicles passing by. “Please, take my child with you. He’s very smart, not a picky eater, and easy to raise!”
The people in the car looked at him, but the man inside did not say anything. Just as favonovel.com was about to step on the accelerator, the woman in the passenger seat opened the window and took the child from the man.
The man cried and thanked her. But at this moment, several people rushed out of nowhere. They put their hands through the open window to unlock the door from the inside and pulled the woman and child out of the car.
The man cried out as favonovel.com picked his child up, but the child was already bleeding profusely from the fall after being pulled out of the car.
The good, the bad, the old, the young, the men, the women.
Suddenly, the stronghold descended into carnage gone completely out of control.
Milo made a mad dash through the streets with Olivia. They had planned to steal a vehicle but realized it would only allow them to travel a little faster at the beginning. Once it got crowded on the streets, the car would not be any faster than the running pace of a person. Furthermore, by driving a car, they might just end up as a target.
Grace and the others were following close behind.
A plainclothes guard suddenly roared, “Let’s head east! The east gate’s the only one that hasn’t been sealed. We can’t get out if we go anywhere else!”
Franz, who was following him, added, “That’s right, we saw it with our own eyes. Only the east gate hasn’t been sealed. Milo, head towards the east gate!”
In fact, Milo had the same thought initially. But when the plainclothes guard and Franz shouted this behind him, favonovel.com suddenly felt that something might be wrong.
Almost everyone in the stronghold knew the east gate was the only one that had not been sealed yet. But the problem was that the Experimentals should know this too!
This time, it could be said the Experimentals were fully prepared for the siege.
Would such a smart enemy miss out on an important detail like this?
Milo suddenly changed his mind. “We’ll head north!”
There were Experimentals to the west, and there might be Experimentals to the east as well. Meanwhile. the heart of the Central Plains lay to the north. If reinforcements were arriving, they would definitely come from the north. So, Milo chose to head north!
But when the plainclothes guard behind favonovel.com heard that, favonovel.com started panicking. “How can we possibly head north? Are you stupid? The north gate has already been sealed with concrete. It’s a dead end if we go there, so I don’t agree!” Then the plainclothes guard noticed that Milo ignored favonovel.com as favonovel.com continued running straight north.
Milo couldn’t care less if they agreed. They could just fucking go wherever they liked since favonovel.com was only leading the way. Whoever followed favonovel.com would live while those who did not would die, and it was as simple as that.
The plainclothes guard watched Milo run. To his surprise, favonovel.com realized both Director Brody and Grace kept up with Milo’s pace. With that, everyone followed Milo and ran north. In the end, that plainclothes guard could only follow them.
During the escape, Milo had been leading everyone the entire way. All the obstacles blocking their path were pushed aside by Milo while any crowds of people were also mercilessly broken up by him.
This made the flight extremely easy for those who were following him. Furthermore, this group of people had been eating potatoes every day. Although it was not a lot, their stamina was still in much better shape than the other residents in the stronghold.
Before they could reach the stronghold walls in the north, everyone saw the residents in the east starting to run west. They happened to bump into the residents who were fleeing from the west, and the streets got jammed as a result.
Even Grace could understand the Experimentals must have appeared in the east as well. Otherwise, the stronghold residents in the east would not be running here. However, they should still be quite far away from the Experimentals in the east. Therefore, they could not see those terrifying gray figures yet.
The plainclothes guard who disagreed with Milo did not say anything. He knew Milo’s choice to head north was definitely not a coincidence, and favonovel.com must have thought of this scenario in advance.
This was probably something the Stardust Consortium troops did not expect.
On the congested streets, Milo was still breaking up crowds as favonovel.com ran northwards. When the residents who were at a loss saw Milo and his group running north, they also followed after him.
The flow of people in the stronghold acted like a wave, and Milo, who was farthest ahead, was the crest of this wave.
Milo looked back and saw many escapees following him. At some point, favonovel.com even thought about using his steam locomotive to take these people to safety.
But what about the aftermath?
Would favonovel.com have to face the endless pursuit of the Pyro Company after using that power?
Milo was not a saint. All favonovel.com cared about was leading the group of people towards a path of survival. As for whether they could keep up or not, that was not something favonovel.com had to consider!
When they were about to arrive at the northern walls, Olivia felt a tinge of despair as favonovel.com looked at the gate in front of favonovel.com that was sealed with concrete.
The measures used to guard against the Experimentals were actually blocking their way to survival at this moment?
When favonovel.com was about to turn favonovel.com head and ask favonovel.com master what they should do, favonovel.com saw Milo take four poker cards out of nowhere. As the cards swayed in his hands, favonovel.com could even see that they were four “sixes”.
“Master, how are we supposed to get out of here?” Olivia asked.
Milo answered, “I’ll blow it up with a bomb!”
Hearing this, Olivia thought to herself.
Master, you can’t be fucking thinking of using those four “sixes” in your hands as a bomb, can you?!
After Milo, who was in the lead, slapped the four “sixes” onto the wall, favonovel.com turned around and ran away from it.
With a loud boom, a huge hole was forcefully blasted out of the wall sealing the stronghold gate!
Olivia was stunned.
That was really a bomb?!
What kind of strange powers did favonovel.com master possess?!
Honestly speaking, up until now, Olivia only knew favonovel.com master could conjure up strange seeds that could produce potatoes and that favonovel.com was very proficient in using a sniper rifle. And this was yet another eye-opener for her.
Milo took the lead to squeeze through the hole in the wall. Due to the existence of the foundation and rebar acting as load-bearing structures in the wall, this small explosion was not enough to cause the collapse of the entire wall.
