Chapter 103: The Wall Really Came Down
The stragglers in the northern part of the market town were already in disarray, Ren Xiaosu brought Wang Fugui and they jumped onto a rooftop to look towards the north before they left, and he could clearly see that a black wave of bugs in the north was sweeping across the entire market town in an overwhelming manner.
In that scene, the market town looked like it was suddenly dyed by a pot of ink, and the originally colorful market town was gradually covered by the black tide of insects.
Beasts were galloping further away, Ren Xiaosu didn’t see any wolves or experimental bodies, I’m afraid that the sphinxes were the first wave of creatures to arrive in the town.
However, Ren Xiaosu felt that it did not need to be too long before a greater crisis could descend.
The stragglers fled to the gates of the barriers, and they cried and wailed beneath the walls, begging the barriers to open the doors and save them.
“Open the door now!”
“Please open the door and save us! Can’t you see the bugs!?”
“Please, it’s okay to just let my child in!”
Those stragglers under the city wall were kneeling down, but the private force defenders on the city wall just symbolically took their automatic rifles and swept the places where the bug tide was dense, but they never opened the door to let people in.
Moreover, their bullets were just a drop in the bucket for the tide of insects.
Seeing that the bug tide was about to arrive, and the barrier door was always closed, some of the stragglers began to curse, but they couldn’t curse for more than a few sentences before they had to leave in a hurry, or else the bugs would arrive!
Ren Xiaosu never had any expectations for other people, so his first reaction was not to negotiate with the barriers, but to leave immediately.
He couldn’t care that much about the deaths and lives of others, he could only take care of Yan Liuyuan and the others first.
At first Ren Xiaosu was worried that Wang Fugui was carrying a lot of cumbersome items, but in the end he realized that Wang Fugui and Wang Dalong were just carrying a backpack each, Wang Dalong was a bit pugnacious but he was very strong, and he didn’t carry anything at all.
Even at a certain moment Ren Xiaosu felt that Wang Dalong was not some kind of power type transcendent ah, Ren Xiaosu lifted the backpack behind Wang Dalong to see that it was full of compressed cookies circulating in the barriers, while Wang Fugui himself was carrying some medicines.
The boxes of those medicines were removed and centrally categorized and stored in some plastic bottles so that they were easy to carry.
Ren Xiaosu fled along the ledge towards the southwest while asking Wang Fugui curiously, “I thought you would carry some gold or something.”
“I also want to carry it, but I can’t carry it, in case I don’t have the physical strength won’t I die,” Wang Fugui said with a bitter face, “I still have quite a lot of money in my bag, but it’s all issued by the Qing’s bank, I’m afraid that I’ll have to be shaved of 20% of the oil when I reach the 109th ledge to try and exchange it for Li’s banknotes. ”
Wang Fugui was running out of breath, he usually lacked too much exercise, so the one who was the most tired when running for his life was him.
Ren Xiaosu glanced at him, “Don’t cry miserably, the medicines you’re carrying are all valuable goods, these thousands of anti-inflammatory pills, one is 200 dollars.”
And there is one more thing, on the road to escape many times money is useless, but medicine won’t be useless.
Zhang Jinglin had said that gold was hard currency, but he had also understated a hard currency, which was medicine.
In fact, Wang Fugui was now making the smartest choice.
……
Not all of the market town stragglers were stupid enough to go below the walls to call for help, there were also people who understood from the beginning that the big shots in the barriers didn’t care about the stragglers’ deaths or lives, and simply fled directly to the wilderness.
When Ren Xiaosu left, their ears were filled with the wailing of the stragglers behind them and the sound of gunshots from the city walls, it wasn’t long before more intense booms sounded, Ren Xiaosu looked back and saw from afar that the private soldiers on the city walls were actually starting to throw grenades and bombs under the walls!
There were still many living people down there!
The relatively smarter stragglers were frantically running towards the wilderness, some of them accidentally fell, and as a result, they didn’t even dare to stay on the ground for a second even as they rolled and crawled.
Ren Xiaosu was not the only one who fled to the southwest, there were hundreds of other people traveling with him.
Because Yan Liuyuan and Xiaoyu couldn’t run too fast, Ren Xiaosu could only bring them along and mix them with the hundreds of others.
Luckily, all the luggage was carried by Ren Xiaosu, so Yan Liuyuan and Little Yu Sister were still a bit relaxed.
After everyone ran for a while and realized that the Sphinx didn’t chase after them, they gradually slowed down, at this time, except for Ren Xiaosu, everyone was exhausted from running.
Some people looked back, the original market town already seemed to have become an inferno, the shacks were all burning.
“Home is gone,” someone muttered.
Some of those who had just lost loved ones couldn’t help but cry, Ren Xiaosu had just witnessed someone abandoning their young children in order to run faster.
But there were also people who firmly protected their children before they died, and they both ended up dying in the mouths of the sphinxes. The patterns on the back armor of those sphinxes seemed to be a little brighter and whiter, and the chewing sound they made while feeding was a nightmare that many people would have trouble forgetting later on.
At this time, their group had already gone to a relatively safe zone because they left early, and those sphinxes seemed to be more interested in the barriers, so they didn’t chase after the humans who fled to the wilderness.
Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt that the barrier should help the fleeing humans attract a lot of attention, after all, for the beasts and sphinxes, there is more “food” there.
When the Qing Clan’s army joins the battle, using the arms and heavy weapons they have stockpiled in the barrier, it shouldn’t be a problem to rely on the barrier to stop those beasts and monsters, right?
If it wasn’t for the purpose of avoiding the Qing Clan Consortium, Ren Xiaosu would most likely have decided to stay in the wilderness for a while, and when the Qing Clan Consortium cleared out these monsters, he would return with Yan Liuyuan and Sister Xiaoyu.
But for now, he had to stay away from the area controlled by the Qing Clan Consortium.
However, right at this moment, Ren Xiaosu frowned and looked down at the earth, and everyone felt it, “Another earthquake!”
This time the earthquake was more violent than any previous one, and some people were even caught off guard and fell to the ground!
“You guys, look at that!” Someone pointed to the north.
Only to see that there was a huge black line there that was constantly and rapidly spreading to the south, that black line came from the direction of the Realm Mountain, and then stabbed straight into the wall as if it was a sword!
The round and lofty wall made a sound like an iceberg disintegrating, and even the sturdy wall began to show fine cracks from the bottom up.
Ren Xiaosu looked at this scene and was already too shocked to speak, that crack didn’t form an abyss, but rather split the wall into two semicircles, east and west, and the ground on the west side was suddenly raised up by more than ten meters!
It was as if someone had suddenly pulled up a section of steps hard across the entire plain!
The two crustal plates crushed and collided here, destroying more than half of the barrier’s walls in just an instant!
The wall has literally collapsed!
