Chapter 124: 124, Ten thousand years from now on!

Even though they possessed powerful firearms, once the experimental subjects breached this defensive line, the Qingshi Group's operatives would have no hope of survival.

Soldiers opened fire on the experimental subjects, but those creatures swiftly evaded, making it nearly impossible for bullets to strike them.

Suddenly, a wounded soldier lunged forward, desperately clinging to one of the subjects' legs, clutching a grenade in his hand.

A thunderous explosion sent the wounded soldier and the experimental subject flying apart, and Ren Xiaosu realized even the subjects could not withstand the grenade's force!

As four experimental subjects charged the defensive line, their numbers were reduced to three in an instant, allowing Tang Zhou and the others to catch their breath.

Yet what struck Ren Xiaosu most profoundly was the calm demeanor of the mortally wounded soldier, who showed no trace of anguish or heroic last words, as if completing a trivial task.

Ren Xiaosu looked away; the Qingshi Group had already left him with too many questions.

He turned his gaze to the remaining experimental subjects, noticing one streaked after the fleeing SUV like lightning, and in its frantic sprint, it hurled itself against the vehicle.

At the moment of collision, Ren Xiaosu could even see the SUV's body crumpling under the impact, and in the next instant, the vehicle toppled over, while the experimental subject remained unscathed!

The creature rose from the ground, shook its head, and leaped onto the SUV, tearing at the metal plating as if attempting to dismantle the vehicle itself.

But Ren Xiaosu had no time to witness this, for four more experimental subjects had surrounded them, now charging straight toward Ren Xiaosu and his companions!

Ren Xiaosu roared, "Chen Wudi, flank right!"

Before the words faded, his hand had already grasped the black blade, as though it had been drawn from the void itself.

In an instant, the black blade met the experimental subject charging from the left, its body cleaved in two like tofu!

Wang Fugui, still reeling, froze at the sight—Ren Xiaosu was truly no ordinary man!

Whether in speed or strength, Ren Xiaosu had long transcended human limits!

In truth, Ren Xiaosu had not been particularly flustered facing the experimental subjects, for he had fought them before. Now, with four on the side, it was identical to that time, but with Chen Wudi sharing the burden, he didn't even need to summon his shadow to fight!

His sole concern was avoiding collateral damage to Yan Liuyuan and the others, who stood no chance against the experimental subjects.

In a flash, Ren Xiaosu struck down another experimental subject and shouted to Wang Fugui and the others, "Move forward!"

Whether Wang Fugui, Jiang Wu and her students, or Yan Liuyuan, all were paralyzed by the experimental subjects' terrifying visage.

These creatures appeared human—noses, mouths, arms, and torsos identical to humans—but their behavior and savagery were indistinguishable from beasts.

Seeing their inaction, Ren Xiaosu bellowed, "Run!"

It was Yan Liuyuan who reacted first: "Go, don't become a burden to my brother!"

As Wang Fugui fled with Yan Liuyuan, his mind echoed the words, realizing they were of no help to Ren Xiaosu, even with their guns.

Ren Xiaosu only relaxed slightly once they began their desperate escape, but the crisis was far from over.

After all, more experimental subjects lingered behind, temporarily held at bay by Tang Zhou and the Qingshi Group's soldiers, but their defensive line had already been breached from behind—how long could it last? As Tang Zhou's line began to falter, the batch of experimental subjects pursuing the refugees surged into their formation!

Ren Xiaosu furrowed his brow; even if Tang Zhou could hold out a while longer, how swiftly could Xiao Yu Jie and the others run?

Perhaps they would not get far before being overtaken by the experimental subjects.

He glanced at the remaining experimental subject, its companion having been cleanly slain, leaving it momentarily hesitant, retreating slowly instead of attacking again.

Ren Xiaosu had no intention of engaging it further, turning instead toward Chen Wudi—only to be stunned.

Chen Wudi had already felled both experimental subjects before him, standing atop one with a leg, casually hoisting the golden staff over his shoulder, exuding an air of supreme confidence...

This surprised Ren Xiaosu, for he had subconsciously doubted Chen Wudi's prowess after failing to stop the bullets earlier.

Yet now, witnessing his might, it seemed Chen Wudi's power far exceeded his expectations.

Unfortunately, he had not observed Chen Wudi's battle closely enough to assess it thoroughly.

Chen Wudi suddenly declared, "From this day forth, for ten thousand years, you shall remember my name—I am..."

Ren Xiaosu cut him off irritably, "Stop the theatrics!"

"Oh," Chen Wudi's expression drooped instantly.

Suddenly, Ren Xiaosu heard a shout from the overturned SUV, a furious roar emanating from within.

He realized the experimental subject that had been tearing at the SUV's metal plating had vanished, and the vehicle now trembled violently—it had burrowed inside!

To save or not to save?

Inside sat Luo Lan of the Qingshi Group, and the Qingshi Group itself sought his death. How could Ren Xiaosu spare him?

No—he could save him!

But before doing so, Ren Xiaosu hurled the experimental subject he had just slain far away, for the clean severance of its torso was too conspicuous. If Luo Lan saw it, he might immediately realize Ren Xiaosu was the one from Jing Shan!

Luo Lan, unaware of how many experimental subjects had been outside, would be told there were only two—and both slain by Chen Wudi.

Having done this, Ren Xiaosu rushed forward, peering through the SUV's cracks to see the interior awash in blood, a plump figure wrestling with the experimental subject, but clearly on the verge of collapse.

The plump figure was Luo Lan, and the other two inside had likely perished protecting him, their blood staining the vehicle.

At that moment, Chen Wudi charged over, seizing the cracks in the SUV with both hands, letting out a muffled groan as he tore the vehicle apart with brute force!

"Strike!" Ren Xiaosu commanded, and Chen Wudi, seizing the order, swung the golden staff from behind, shattering the experimental subject's skull, its yellowish blood splattering across Luo Lan's face.
