Even though they had powerful firearms and explosives on their side, the Qing Consortium's combat troops stood no chance of survival if their defensive line was breached.
Some of the soldiers fired at the Experimentals, but their opponents swiftly dodged the bullets. It was simply too difficult to hit their targets.
Suddenly, a wounded soldier pounced up and grabbed both legs of an Experimental with a grenade in his other hand.
With a loud boom, the wounded soldier and Experimental were blown away by the explosion. Ren Xiaosu realized that not even the Experimentals could handle the destructive power of a grenade!
The four Experimentals that pounced onto the defensive line turned into just three. This gave Tang Zhou and his men some respite.
There was something wrong with the order, I'll have to push these out ahead of time :)
