The walls collapse

The refugees in the north of town were already in a state of disarray. Before the group left with Wang Fugui, Ren Xiaosu jumped atop a roof and looked north. He was shocked to see a dense, dark cloud of bugs were currently overwhelming the town.

That sight made it look like the town had suddenly been dyed black with an inkpot. The originally colorful town was getting taken over by the invading swarm of insects.

The wild animals were further out and running over. Ren Xiaosu did not spot the wolf pack or the Experimentals, so the face bugs were probably the first wave of creatures to reach the town. But he thought that it wouldn't take too long before an even greater danger arrived.

The refugees were all fleeing to the stronghold's gate and crying as they begged outside the walls for those in the stronghold to save them.

"Open the gate, quick!"

"Please, open the gate and save us! Don't you all see those bugs?!"

"Please, just let my child in!"
