Chapter 863: Reappearance of the Experimentals!  

How important were the supplies in the forward operating base? They were very important!

This time, the Pyro Company had set up the defensive line in the north in a hurry, and the manpower and resources needed to build the New Great Wall could be called a vast amount. If the Pyro Company had not fought the war with the Kong Consortium, it would not have been a problem with their strength to build up this northern defensive line.

But it just so happened that the enemies from the North had come at the wrong time. The Pyro Company had just launched an all-out war against the Kong Consortium, so their return from the South to the North was basically a reactionary move.

If the supplies at the forward operating base could not be transported to the northern defensive line in time, the refugees and stronghold residents who were building the New Great Wall would probably have to go hungry.

Even the main forces of the Pyro Company might not be able to fill their stomachs.

Moreover, the most important issue was still the ammunition supply. P5092’s 3rd Division had already been through several tough battles in the South. Meanwhile, the famous artillery troops under him were left with not much ammunition. Several days ago, when they were fighting the barbarians, they had plowed the canyon with their artillery fire. If their supply of artillery shells were to get cut off now, it would be difficult to deploy the artillery to their full potential.

Actually, the artillery shells they used did not cost much to make, and it was not exactly precision equipment either. However, they still needed time to produce the next batch of ammunition.

Therefore, when faced with this war, the Pyro Company was not limited by themselves but by the previous war against the Kong Consortium.

If they knew there would be enemies coming from the North, they would definitely not have waged an all-out war against the Kong Consortium.

When the commander of the forward operating base saw the explosion, his heart sank and he lost hope.

Ren Xiaosu had already plunged into the smoke and run towards the supply convoy.

He covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief and even donned a pair of goggles to prevent the smoke from affecting his respiratory system and vision.

Earlier, the distance between him and the supply convoy was less than a kilometer apart. With Ren Xiaosu’s speed, it took him less than a minute to get there.

But by the time he arrived, there was nothing left except for the glow of the flames.

The vehicles were burning fiercely after they exploded into balls of fire. Ren Xiaosu suddenly heard a noise not far away as he walked in. He slowly approached the source, but whatever that was hiding in the smoke had discovered his presence and turned to escape into the wilderness!

Ren Xiaosu quickly gave chase, but his opponent was moving at a pace not much slower than him. He took out a heavy machine gun from his storage space and wielded it. As he chased after the target, he fired at it.

As the smoke was too thick, Ren Xiaosu could not get a clear view of his target’s position and could only shoot blindly.

Seeing that he could not hit his target even after firing for so long, Ren Xiaosu had no choice but to give up. He tried his best to distinguish the sound of his opponent’s footsteps as he moved through the smoke to seek his target.

But Ren Xiaosu was a little puzzled. Just what was that thing? Why did the footsteps sound like that of a wild animal? The sound of the target running away was clearly like that of a feline’s movements.

But why would wild animals come and blow up the supplies? Ren Xiaosu had a vague idea in his mind, but he could not be sure.

Both parties soon arrived at the edge of the forward operating base and at this moment, Ren Xiaosu realized his enemy had not broken through the wire fence. Instead, there was a hole in the ground that was dug from the outside!

That monster plunged into the hole and disappeared in the blink of an eye. It was only at the final moment that Ren Xiaosu saw the gray skin on its body!

Experimentals!

This time, Ren Xiaosu was really at a loss. How could it be the Experimentals?!

Didn’t those things get wiped out after the Qing Consortium’s nuclear bomb was dropped on Stronghold 74?

Ever since Stronghold 74 was destroyed, Ren Xiaosu no longer worried about the Experimentals, because he felt they had definitely been wiped out.

He was not the only one who thought that way. The entire world thought so as well, especially those from the Qing Consortium. In Luo Lan’s words, no one could have survived that devastating explosion.

But only now did Ren Xiaosu realize that some of the Experimentals had probably left Stronghold 74 before the nuclear bomb was dropped!

This left Ren Xiaosu very surprised. He had not expected to see the Experimentals here at all. Even P5092 was probably not expecting it either.

Therefore, P5092’s plan was only targeted at the barbarians, and he managed to do that very well. However, other forces were still hidden in the wilderness. As a result, the supplies at the forward operating base were still sabotaged.

This was the appeal of war. No matter how well-prepared one was, everything could still end up in failure over an unexpected incident.

Ren Xiaosu looked out into the wilderness beyond the wire fence. He suddenly drew his black saber to slash open the fence and give chase.

It was a very risky decision, but he suddenly remembered Yang Xiaojin had said she had seen a figure in the mountains earlier.

At that time, Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin thought that it might just be a barbarian who was on guard duty. But now, Ren Xiaosu had a new hypothesis.

The Experimentals were very terrifying. Their terror did not lie in their destructive power, but in the fact they could use humans as vessels to create even more Experimentals.

Once the number of Experimentals surpassed 10,000, they would have enough strength to breach the strongholds.

It had only been an hour since the barbarians broke through into the forward operating base. It was midnight now.

There was no moon tonight as massive, dark clouds in the sky cast a shadow upon the land. Ren Xiaosu made his way through the wilderness towards where Yang Xiaojin had seen that figure.

But just as he was about to approach the mountains, a foreboding gust of wind came from near the top of an elm tree by the roadside.

The Experimental Ren Xiaosu was tracking earlier had not fled far away. Instead, it hid in the treetops, planning to ambush him!

In the blink of an eye, the Experimental spread its arms and pounced down from above. But just as it was about to grab Ren Xiaosu, Ren Xiaosu suddenly ducked and stretched out his hand. His arm accurately slipped past the gaps of the Experimental’s outstretched arms and ruthlessly grabbed its neck, throwing it straight towards the ground.

With a loud crash, the Experimental fell unconscious after being slammed onto the ground with a shoulder throw. It had probably never come across a human whose strength could easily crush it by so much before!

Ren Xiaosu was sizing up the Experimental on the ground. This was the first time he had examined one so closely. This Experimental had probably transformed from an adult human male, and all of its body hair was gone, leaving only smooth gray skin. It looked strangely greasy, like a venomous snake that would disgust people.

The creature was lying on the ground with its chest heaving up and down from its breathing. Ren Xiaosu had one foot on its chest and was about to use the black saber to end its life.

He knew this was not the creature he was chasing previously as the other one was much faster than this one. It was a trap.

At this moment, Ren Xiaosu heard another noise coming from the forest. There were four, five, six Experimentals.

Did he just step into the Experimentals’ lair? Ren Xiaosu grinned. How lucky!

In the distance, the forward operating base was still burning in flames and the sound of gunfire was tearing through the sky. Amid this, no one noticed that a thrilling battle was about to take place several hundred meters away from the base.
