Chapter 560, Dilemma

There weren’t any staff left in the hotel, only one or two people were left to guard the store, the rest had gone home to find their families.

Just as Li Ran and the others were sitting in the hotel lobby at sixes and sevens, gunshots suddenly rang out outside the barriers, or to be precise, on the walls of the barriers.

Those few plainclothes soldiers of Wang’s were standing right in front of the hotel, discussing how they should get some weapons, and whether they could contact Wang’s and ask that side to negotiate with Zhou’s and return the weapons to them.

However, after a few people made satellite phone calls for half a day, Wang’s side only promised them to communicate with Zhou, but there was no follow-up.

Ren Xiaosu glanced at the soldiers at the door, then pulled Zhou Yingxue to the side and said, “You stay here, I’ll go out and take a look.”

Zhou Yingxue was instantly anxious, she lowered her voice and said, “Master don’t run around, I’m scared.”

“What’s the use of being afraid,” Ren Xiaosu pulled out two pistols and five or six magazines from the space and handed them to Zhou Yingxue, “This hotel is located in the center of the barrier, if something happens here, it means that the entire barrier is finished, when the time comes, you can find a place at random, and use your seeds to open up a small shelter and wait for me to come and save you. Save you, understand.”

“Then will you still save Li Ran at that time?” Zhou Yingxue asked.

Ren Xiaosu froze for a moment, “What time is it now, it’s good enough for me to survive but still saving others? The big deal is that I can’t die even if I don’t participate in the Anjing Temple selection.”

Zhou Yingxue suddenly smiled out of the corner of her eye and wasn’t afraid anymore, “Okay Master.”

She was most worried that Ren Xiaosu would just use her to break into the Anjing Temple’s inner circle and then leave her behind, but now it seems that she is more important than joining the Anjing Temple’s mission.

Ren Xiaosu felt a bit puzzled, how this woman’s face changed at the drop of a hat, just now she was quite scared, this moment she directly smiled.

He went outside, Li Ran and Mu Bingge saw this scene then panicked, Li Ran got up and asked: “Where are you going?”

“I’m going to look outside,” Ren Xiaosu said.

“Who’s going to protect us if you leave,” Mu Bingge said anxiously.

“What if you don’t come back,” Li Ran was a bit bewildered.

Ren Xiaosu nudged towards Zhou Yingxue, “She’s still here.”

Everyone looked towards Zhou Yingxue, and they were seeing the scene of Zhou Yingxue checking the firearms, and everyone wondered how Zhou Yingxue had brought the firearms into the barriers.

Ren Xiaosu glanced at the plainclothes soldiers and grinned, “No there’s still them, they’re here to protect you.”

Those few soldiers saw the two firearms in Zhou Yingxue’s hands and their eyes lit up, “We are active duty soldiers, since we are allowed to protect you all, these two firearms deserve to be used by us, and we are better with firearms.”

Ren Xiaosu sneered, “Zhou Yingxue, if someone tries to grab the gun after I leave, you can just shoot him.”

Zhou Yingxue also calmly said, “You use your guns better? If you can’t keep your own gun, what’s the point of talking about using guns better.”

Said Ren Xiaosu then went out, to know Zhou Yingxue is not a weak girl, that is able to deceive him are not change color player, these plainclothes soldiers if you want to hit Zhou Yingxue’s idea, it is estimated that tonight will be a violent death.

Ren Xiaosu went out of the hotel and headed to the west, where Zhou’s troops should be facing the experimental body’s main battlefield, and the result is that on the road, he suddenly saw more than a dozen transcendentalists dressed in black, is at about the same speed as him on the roof of the building speed, the other side saw him also just skimmed a glance, did not say anything more.

Strange, from where ran out more than a dozen Transcendents ah, the next moment, Ren Xiaosu saw the other party’s waist of the saber, this is not the Fire Seed Company’s ceramic knife.

Wait a minute, these dozen people are actually members of the Fire Seed Company? I’m afraid that they were all lurking at Barrier 74 before the experimental body arrived.

But since the other party was a member of the Fire Seed Company, then when they bumped into a Transcendent like themselves, they surprisingly didn’t make a move?

Ren Xiaosu silently changed directions and followed with Shadow instead, wanting to see what this Fire Seed Company was up to.

The gunfire at the head of the ledge wall had stopped, and Ren Xiaosu didn’t know what was going on outside.

Slowly, the members of the Fire Seed Company and Ren Xiaosu both approached the western ledge wall, but they saw those members of the Fire Seed Company directly find Zhou’s troops to inform them of their identities, and they even went up to the wall.

Ren Xiaosu watched this scene with a target-viewing mirror, and also saw Zhou’s troops issue firearms to the members of the Fire Seed Company, it seemed that the members of the Fire Seed Company were going to collaborate with Zhou’s troops to defend the city at this time.

The Fire Seed Company assisted in defending the city to protect the residents of the barriers behind them? It turned out that those people from the Fire Seed Company didn’t arrest even when they saw themselves as a Transcendent because they had more important things to do.

This could be a bit subversive to Ren Xiaosu’s cognition, when the common disaster of mankind came, even organizations like the Fire Seed Company became part of the defense force?

In fact, Ren Xiaosu also understood that if Zhou’s forces were to collapse, hundreds of thousands of people in the entire wall would suffer, but to be honest, he really didn’t think that the Fire Seed Company would take the initiative to come forward.

At this time, both Old Li and Qin Sheng had already gotten the firearms distributed by Zhou’s troops, but Zhou hadn’t assigned them a specific task, only that if the experimental bodies rushed up the walls, then they, the Transcendents, would be needed to fend them off.

After all, by that time, it would be difficult for pistols and automatic rifles to directly kill the experimental body, and the other party’s mobility was extremely strong, so having one experimental body climb up the city wall would be a huge threat to the entire defense system, and there might even be more experimental bodies rushing up, leading to a total collapse.

At that time, one would have to rely on the newly constructed fortifications within the city, but that would only be used as a last resort.

At that moment, the experimental bodies had just tried to launch a charge, but as a result, Zhou had just killed dozens of experimental bodies with his heavy machine gun, and the other side retreated back into the forest.

By the time the experimental bodies came out of the forest again, everyone on the walls froze, because those experimental bodies were driving hundreds of living humans closer to the barriers, those people Lao Li might even recognize, the very same stragglers who had taken refuge in the wilderness in order to avoid the consortium.

According to common sense, the experimental body should kill people on sight, but now it was different, the other party had actually learned to drive humans.

Didn’t the humans have heavy machine guns in their hands, so let’s just kill their own kind first.

The eastern ledge wall also faced the same dilemma, the experimental body not only drove away the stragglers, among them there were also a large number of soldiers wearing Zhou’s Azure uniforms, it looked like they were all captured from the previous 73rd ledge reinforcements.

To shoot, or not to shoot?

Old Li, Qin Sheng, and the members of the Fire Seed Company didn’t say anything, as they were only assisting in the defense, and it wasn’t their turn to make the call.

The officer of Zhou’s troops stood on the city wall, he quietly looked at the crowds of people who were getting closer and closer to the city wall, these people were crying and shouting, their voices were already muffled, there were small children who were being held in the arms of adults, their faces were covered in tear tracks.

And in the middle of these stragglers were mixed with scattered experimental bodies responsible for repelling them, five or six meters behind them was a large force of experimental bodies closely adorned, if the army on the city wall did not make a move, then as soon as they were close to the wall, they would be able to break this seemingly sturdy barrier in just half a minute’s time.

The officer of Zhou’s troops calmly said, “Fire.”
