The alarm in Garrison 146’s military base was getting more and more deafening. It even got to the point where almost half of the stronghold could hear it now. When the residents furtively opened their windows and looked out towards the base, they heard the heavy footsteps of soldiers running around. The troops that were originally searching for Ren Xiaosu in the stronghold were rushing back towards the base.
Some residents were bewildered by this. When they heard during the day that the Zong Consortium troops had been unable to capture the young man who had broken into the stronghold, everyone found it unbelievable. After all, there was an entire formation of Zong Consortium troops stationed here, while the other party was only a single person.
Yet they couldn’t even capture him?
At that time, the person who brought up the matter said, “My brother-in-law is a regimental commander in the Garrison 146 troops. He was the one who told me about it.”
However, many of those he told did not believe it and felt he was just bragging. They said that if his brother-in-law were a regimental commander, then their father would be the brigade commander.
After all, the situation was so chaotic that everyone was getting extremely unsettled, and it felt like the war was starting to affect the people in Stronghold 146. As such, no one really took that young man’s words seriously.
After all, who would believe that a brigade could not even deal with a lone enemy who had entered the stronghold?
But at this moment, they were finally a little convinced after hearing the ear-piercing alarm.
The young man had not only escaped the pursuit of the garrison troops in the daytime, he was even bold enough to attack the base of the Zong Consortium’s garrison?
After Ren Xiaosu killed the guard at the entrance, he immediately headed upstairs armed with his black saber. When someone saw him kill the guard through the surveillance camera, they rushed down. The alarm in the tower blared as well. All of a sudden, a commotion broke out in the administrative building.
Two of the soldiers who rushed down had their guards up in the stairway. They had seen clearly through the surveillance camera how unbelievably skilled the enemy was. When the enemy took out the guard earlier, he even smashed the brick wall beside him at the same time.
But before they could even come face to face with Ren Xiaosu, they saw a hand reach out of a shadow cast by the stairway’s handrail. It then dropped a grenade at their feet!
An explosion blasted in the tower. Ren Xiaosu did not have time to tussle with these Zong Consortium soldiers who were hiding in the shadows and trying to shoot him. It would be too troublesome if the enemy’s troops managed to group up and surround the tower.
The troops in the tower all rushed down, with some of them adopting a defensive formation in the stairways and corners while they waited quietly for Ren Xiaosu to show up.
However, this method would only be effective when dealing with normal enemies. Against Ren Xiaosu, that was too passive a tactic.
Ren Xiaosu was rapidly taking down the enemy troops one by one. The soldier in the control room who was in charge of monitoring and reporting Ren Xiaosu’s movements could only watch as he ran through the corridors like a ghostly presence, and his every move was also ferocious like a beast’s.
Through the surveillance feed, he watched an officer rush out of a room holding a pistol. But the moment he stepped out of the room, a black saber slashed onto his shoulder and his arm fell onto the ground together with the gun.
Right after, the young man kicked the officer so forcefully his entire body was mangled.
How much strength would he need to be able to do that? The bones in a human body were extremely tough!
As grenades exploded one after another, the soldier in the control room saw the security monitors turning black one by one. However, he could do nothing to stop the young man’s advance.
Every few seconds, a security monitor would either go black or turn into static.
The soldier in the control room suddenly felt like he was watching a paranormal movie. Such scenes would usually take place right before the appearance of a ghost as it slowly wrang the fear out of its victim’s heart until it bled.
Earlier in the day, this soldier had heard about how his fellow comrades of the search party were unable to apprehend the wanted criminal.
When everyone was eating in the chow hall, they even made fun of their comrades outside the base for being too weak and unable to capture a single person.
But when he saw with his own eyes how fearsome the enemy was, he understood what havoc a person like him could cause in the stronghold’s city by relying on the blind spots the buildings provided.
Without intense firepower suppressing him, no one could do anything. This young man was practically invincible in the smaller battles, so it required the deployment of a much larger force to kill him.
Wait a minute! The enemy had already moved to… The soldier in the control room was startled. He picked up his gun and looked behind him only to see the locked door of the control room being slashed open right at this moment.
That black saber left a terrifying crack in the steel door, and the soldier inside was met by Ren Xiaosu’s cold stare through it.
He was so nervous with keeping his eye on the security monitors that he forgot the enemy had already arrived at the control room’s doorstep. The soldier was scared out of his wits even though he only saw part of the enemy’s face through the crack.
After slashing through the closed steel door, Ren Xiaosu did not even bother to enter when he saw there was only one person inside. He just threw a grenade in through the crack before he continued moving forward.
Ren Xiaosu used to use the grenades sparingly as he had very few of them on hand.
But when he led the Razor Sharp Company to destroy three military factories some time ago, they seized so many grenades it was unimaginable for Ren Xiaosu. Right now, even he was unsure of how many grenades he had exactly.
No one from the Razor Sharp Company would fight Ren Xiaosu for the grenades. They just handed all the grenades they found over to Ren Xiaosu.
At this moment, the battle at Mt. Wuchuan had benefited Ren Xiaosu’s cause as the number of troops in Garrison 146 had decreased by several times after their soldiers were deployed to the front lines.
There were usually two supernatural beings stationed at the garrison base as well. However, only one remained at this moment, and that supernatural being was none other than Zong Cheng himself. It was just that no one knew where he was right now.
So Ren Xiaosu did not encounter any particularly effective resistance as he made his way upstairs in a killing spree. After all, he could casually drop grenades anywhere in the building as he wished while the enemy had to be cautious.There was a large amount of information stored here, and many of those who were in the building were the Zong Consortium’s own people. As such, they still harbored fantasies that as long as one of them could gun down Ren Xiaosu, he would definitely be done for. But none of them managed to hit Ren Xiaosu, and most of them died before they could even see him.
Besides, half of those in the administrative building were clerical staff officers, while the remaining half consisted of officers equipped with pistols and some normal garrison troops. As soldiers guarding a place like this, the garrison troops were not equipped with grenades at all!
Blood was flowing down the stairway and trickling onto the next level with audible dripping sounds.
After Ren Xiaosu rushed up to the third story, a person stealthily climbed out of a closet in an office on the second story. He did not even have the courage to put up a fight just now. At this moment, he realized he might still have a chance to escape. The explosions had already moved on to the upper floors!
The chubby officer finally managed to get out of the closet after some struggling. But when he walked to the corridor, he suddenly slipped and fell heavily onto the ground.
Due to the sticky blood that was flowing on the ground, the floor was very difficult to walk on. If one could not find their balance, they would surely slip and fall.
When the chubby officer landed on the ground, he let out a cry in pain. But he regretted it immediately as he wondered if that would have attracted the enemy’s attention. But the enemy was already upstairs, surely he wouldn’t turn back to kill him, right?
But before he could stop worrying, he suddenly saw someone throw a grenade out of a shadow next to him!
