Chapter 104, The Real Disaster
Ren Xiaosu had once talked about a topic while chatting with Yan Liuyuan, what would happen if this wall guarding humanity crumbled?
At that time, Ren Xiaosu herself did not take it to heart when she said it, after all, if the wall collapsed, it would only be a matter of repairing it all over again, the big shots in the wall would still be big shots, and the stragglers in the market town would still be stragglers.
But now was different, the wall could collapse at any time, not at this time, because outside the wall there were wolves, beasts and poisonous insects running away from the realm’s mountains, human-faced insects, and experimental bodies!
The earthquakes caused by the crustal plates suddenly flapped their wings like a black swan, and then disaster struck for the wall.
The barrier was like being in the middle of two crustal plates, and when the two crustal plates moved violently, they immediately tore it apart.
But that wasn’t all the disaster the earthquake brought, the houses in that ledge also began to topple over, and countless living people were buried under the buildings!
Ren Xiaosu looked down at all that from a distance on the hillside, the walls that had protected the barriers for decades or even centuries were like disintegrating glaciers, the walls were crumbling and falling off piece by piece, eventually turning into rubble.
This was probably the most shocking yet maddening image Ren Xiaosu had ever seen in his life, before the private force defenders on the wall had time to retreat, they crashed to the ground along with the wall, falling to pieces!
You have to know that this fence is about fifty meters high, as long as it is a normal human being who falls down from above will definitely die!
The tide of sphinxes that could not break through the wall all poured into the walled city at this moment, and the “big shots” in the city could not come to their senses from the haste of the collapsing houses, and had to face the cannibalistic bugs immediately!
Wang Fugui and the others stopped and looked back at this scene, everyone had a deep fear in their eyes.
“Little Su, can the people inside this city still survive?” Sister Xiaoyu murmured and asked.
Ren Xiaosu turned around and continued walking in the direction of the 109 barrier, “It’s enough that we can survive.”
In Ren Xiaosu’s opinion, there must still be a portion of the people in this ledge that could break away, a ledge city with hundreds of thousands of people wasn’t so lacking in intelligent people at all, and there was still the Qing Consortium’s army in there as well.
But all of these have nothing to do with him, this era is not a matter of concern, once the big shots of the barriers did not care about the death of the stragglers, and now there will also be no one to care about their deaths and lives.
Moreover, no one could care less about this disaster.
Suddenly someone said, “Look guys, there seems to be some kind of strange light in the barriers.”
The next moment Ren Xiaosu turned around, he suddenly saw a huge water bubble floating towards the human-faced bugs in the sky, immediately after the bubble burst open, pushing the tide of bugs backward by more than ten meters, and some of the bugs in the front looked like they had been blown up directly.
Others might not know what that was, but Ren Xiaosu instantly thought of Zhang Baogen who had been caught in the ledge!
This blister was just a bit bigger than the one he had seen, but the mold and function were very similar.
Ren Xiaosu was puzzled in his heart, it seemed that Zhang Baogen was still alive and that his abilities had grown!
“Transcendent!” Someone exclaimed, “A Transcendent has struck in the barrier.”
“What is this blister?”
Ren Xiaosu looked at these exclaiming people and thought, “I’m afraid you won’t believe me when I say that this is a spit bubble spat out by Zhang Bao Gen.” ……
Wang Fugui’s son, Wang Dalong muttered, “I wish I was a Transcendent too.”
Previously, because of the matter of the barrier arresting Transcendents, it caused everyone to avoid the term Transcendent, fearing that they would have anything to do with these three words.
However, from the bottom of their hearts, who wouldn’t want to have such an ability that transcends the mundane? Even players like Wang Fugui, who had already entered middle-age and old age, hadn’t they fantasized about it as well.
This was the ultimate human desire for the world.
However, transcendentalists were rare, and now it seemed that there were only a handful of dozen or so out of hundreds of thousands of people. Ren Xiaosu knew that there must still be hidden Transcendents in that barrier, but the number must not be too many.
“How can I become a Transcendent?” Wang Dalong looked curiously at his old man, Wang Fugui.
Wang Fugui was dumbfounded, “I don’t know either.”
Yan Liuyuan said casually, “Maybe it requires some conditions, like luck, or a bloodline or something like that?”
Wang Dalong got frustrated, “Then my father is not a Transcendent either.”
Yan Liu Yuan comforted, “Don’t be too desperate, it’s possible that he’s not your real father?”
Wang Dalong: “???”
Wang Dalong, who had not cried even when his love died on the way to escape just now, let out a cry with an ow.
“Ren Xiaosu you two brothers this mouth is too damaging,” Wang Fugui almost cursed out profanity, “That Zhang Baogen is also a Transcendent, do you see any Transcendent blood in his father?”
At this moment, because after Zhang Baogen spat out four or five blisters in a row to force back the wave of insects, there were quite a few people who got a chance to catch their breath, and they looked at the opening to directly flee towards the outside of the barriers, and the direction of their escape was exactly where Ren Xiaosu and the others were.
When the wall of the barricade collapsed, the broken wall formed a huge barricade, and it was not easy for the people inside to come out, but fortunately for Ren Xiaosu, there was a gap in their direction, which was enough for several people to pass through at the same time.
When in danger, everyone will have a kind of blindly follow the crowd’s mentality, those who are in the midst of the disaster have lost the ability to think normally, can only be where others run, they will run to where.
A person rushed to this gap to run, other survivors will follow them to run together, slowly the number of people fleeing like a snowball like accumulating convergence.
Wang Fugui just roughly estimated that there were thousands of people fleeing, and there were still more and more.
He couldn’t wait any longer, the sphinxes wouldn’t be willing to let go of so much food, and neither would the wolves.
The chaotic gunfire was getting fainter and fainter, Ren Xiaosu had originally thought that the Qing Clan’s combat troops would be able to play a big role, but he didn’t know how, he didn’t see that combat brigade going into battle.
It was possible that the barracks were far away, right?
Slowly, there were people in the barriers trying to jump into the river to escape the sphinx bugs, and according to common sense, bugs were usually afraid of water.
Just as someone just jumped in, something suddenly opened its bloody mouth under the murky water, and actually swallowed the person who jumped in, and immediately after that, a heavy color of blood appeared in the murky water.
The entire walled city was filled with the smell of smoke and blood, Ren Xiaosu had never seen such a cruel picture, even he felt cruel.
He frowned and said, “Hurry up, those who escaped are likely to attract danger as well.”
There were many stragglers around who were tired and didn’t want to go, they hadn’t felt it when they just ran out of the market town to escape, but this time they stopped, even if their muscles were sore.
It was important to know that the physical energy consumed when running at full speed far exceeded that of jogging.
Wang Fugui and Wang Dalong, Yan Liuyuan, Xiaoyu sister did not have such a good physical quality as Ren Xiaosu, but when Ren Xiaosu said to continue, these four people did not say half a word.
At this moment, the only way to survive was to listen to Ren Xiaosu!
Sister Xiaoyu and the others gritted their teeth and followed Ren Xiaosu’s footsteps, Ren Xiaosu said in a low voice, “A large amount of lactic acid will start to build up in the body after a strenuous exercise, you guys have to continue to move forward, otherwise you’ll be in even more pain if you rest for a little while longer.”
When the other stragglers saw Ren Xiaosu and the others leave, some of them followed, but others thought to themselves that the sphinxes weren’t paying attention to this side at all, so they didn’t need to rush. It wasn’t that they weren’t going to leave, they just wanted to wait a few minutes.
No matter what time of the day it was, there was no shortage of people who had their hearts in the right place.
Suddenly, Sister Xiaoyu and Yan Liuyuan, they had realized that out of all the people present, only Ren Xiaosu had a relaxed face, as if she wasn’t tired at all.
