Chapter 568, Isolation
Ever since the experimental bodies started avoiding those soldiers, the rate of experimental body casualties started to plummet, while the mobile units in the 2nd division started to take heavy hits.
But what surprised the experimental bodies was that there were also some humans whose physical qualities were second only to theirs who had also started such suicide attacks.
The members of the Fire Seed Company were carrying explosives on their backs as they searched the battlefield for the experiments, and as soon as they saw the experiments, they immediately rushed up to them and killed them together, and it was because of the Fire Seed Company’s participation in the battle that the situation was reversed again.
The number of members of the Fire Seed Company who joined the reinforcement force this time, there were 30 people, that is, six squads, three dawn squads, three dusk squads.
Their physical qualities weren’t as strong as these upright walking experiments, but it was enough to launch a suicide attack on the experiments, exchanging a life for a life!
Before this, the soldiers in Zhou’s forces didn’t even like these members of the Fire Seed Company very much, as everyone always felt that they were too shady and didn’t like to interact with Zhou’s soldiers.
But at this moment, everyone admired them from the bottom of their hearts.
It was clearly this Fire Seed Company with a bad reputation that was now standing up to fight alongside them.
In the past, everyone had always heard which Transcendents were particularly powerful in the Central Plains, but now they hadn’t seen those people either.
Soon, the ten or so upright walking experimental bodies were blown up with only two left, and the experimental bodies rushing down the mountain were having a hard time breaking through the 2nd Division’s machine gun positions with less assistance from these upright walking experimental bodies.
At the moment when hope rose in the hearts of all the soldiers and generals of the 2nd Division, someone suddenly shouted, “More than a dozen of those experimental bodies that can walk upright have climbed up from the mountain!”
But by the time they spoke, it was already too late.
Suddenly, only one experimental body was seen carrying a packet of strange things and quickly drilling into Zhou’s troops, followed by a rumbling sound as dust and blood and flesh flew up across the sky.
The 2nd Division Commander who was watching this scene from afar was dumbfounded, this time it was the experimental body that had launched a suicide attack on them.
This experimental body, started using hot weapons!
The 2nd Division’s troop commander had a heavy face, “Evacuate, evacuate in an orderly manner!”
Every time it came to this time, making any decision was tough, for a part of the people to evacuate, it doomed a part of them to stay here forever, and they would even be assimilated into a new experimental body.
The result is a war down, the number of experimental body does not seem to reduce much, and the military physical quality is strong, after being assimilated into the experimental body may also become the kind of experimental body that walks upright, with infinite strength.
Of course, these experimental body assimilation of humans, seems to be selective.
Qing had calculated the ratio, and it seemed that when the experimental body chose the ratio of assimilation, it was something like 7%.
Now that they were retreating, they should still be able to retain two-thirds of their troops, after all, tens of thousands of troops weren’t that easy to defeat.
But what the 2nd Division’s troop master was more concerned about was that if the experimental body would use thermal weapons, then the isolated 74th Barrier would be even more difficult to defeat in the future siege.
One could only hope that the Experimentals wouldn’t be driving tanks.
The experimental bodies didn’t pursue, they just watched silently in the middle of the mountains and forests with ferocious expressions.
And the woods beside the mountain road were still burning with a blazing fire that was spreading further and further, and where it burned, only the ashes and ruins of West Pitch Black remained.
……
When the news of the defeat of the reinforcements reached the 74 barriers, the residents of the barriers were like a bolt from the blue.
The most obvious thing was that the porridge in the porridge shed suddenly became very thin and thin, and there were hardly any grains of rice to be seen.
It wasn’t that Barrier 74 was out of food, but that Zhou’s troops were prepared to fight a protracted war.
If the reinforcements couldn’t come through, they could only rely on them to continue to hold on to the barriers, and how long this would last, no one knew at all.
When some residents realized that there was no rice in this porridge, they immediately started to make a scene in the porridge shed, and they yelled at the people who were giving the porridge, “See for yourselves what this porridge has thinned out to?”
With that, these people even lifted the porridge shed!
However, after they had done so, the men who were responsible for making the porridge rushed out and began to beat people with their sticks, and the men who had overturned the porridge shed were beaten beyond recognition.
Those who did it were extremely ferocious, simply to borrow these few chaotic people to establish their authority!
Soon there was a reporter with the captured photos to find Zhou’s theory, Zhou’s answer was that this company is not Zhou’s consortium’s property, but Zhou’s will definitely investigate this matter strictly.
A child Zhou announced that the batterer had been fired, as an explanation to the residents.
When Ren Xiaosu heard about this, he laughed, before he wondered why Zhou did not give congee himself, it turned out to be for the convenience of the media to give an explanation after the beating.
After the people who caused trouble are scared, just fire two people.
This so-called company is purely used to take the blame.
This hand is not beautiful, and even a little dirty, but the congee shed side of no one dares to make trouble, and even the entire wall of the residents who have made trouble before have settled down, they know that this congee shed beating is just a signal: Zhou’s impatient, do not come to find their own pain.
Three days passed, the barricade residents every day thoughts are only left to go to the congee shed to get congee.
A week passed, the reinforcements delayed no new news, it seems that Zhou’s troops are also in a difficult situation, do not know how to target the experimental body.
The whole wall seems more and more decadent down, the street rarely see pedestrians, there are pedestrians are also in the roadside begging for food, the street trees have no bark, all were uncovered away to eat.
Zhou is not intentionally not issued food, but they do not have much food in hand, even the rations of Zhou’s soldiers have been cut, Zhou Xingwen in order to show that the troops to share the hardships, food and shelter are moved to the barracks inside, showing that he did not open a small stove, we can only ride out the storm together.
Li Ran and others are somewhat fortunate, fortunately, before Ren Xiaosu brought Fang Zhi to bribe the private army officers to buy some military rations back, otherwise they now also have to starve.
However, Ren Xiaosu specifically explained to them, “Don’t go to the hotel kitchen when cooking, there are air vents there, close the doors all tightly for me as well, don’t allow the smell to spread out.”
All the food is controlled in Fangzhi’s place, Ren Xiaosu didn’t eat much at all, Li Ran carefully asked Ren Xiaosu: “I heard Fangzhi say that the food bought back this time can still be eaten for two days at most, what to do next ah?”
Knowing that their touring team had too many staff members, even if they bought food, it would not be enough to eat.
Ren Xiaosu looked at Li Ran’s expectant eyes and shook her head, “I don’t know what to do either.”
“Then if there are really no reinforcements coming, can you and Zhou Yingxue save me from getting out,” Li Ran asked anxiously.
Ren Xiaosu glanced at her and replied, “I don’t know.”
