Chapter 198 The escapees attempt robbery

In the middle of the night, Ren Xiaosus sudden walk into the wilderness by himself shocked many people. No matter what he intended to do, the fact that someone would venture out alone was very surprising to the escapees. After all, the wolves were still out there.

But now Ren Xiaosu returned carrying a large rabbit in tow. Did he go hunting just now?

Seeing as the weather was freezing as snow continued falling heavily from the sky, a lot of people were worried they would get buried under the snow when they woke up. But even in such bad weather, someone still went out to hunt and returned with such a large rabbit.

When the Wolf King dropped the rabbit, the snow was already very deep. Ren Xiaosu watched quietly as the Wolf King cleared a path through the snow by walking in front while the other wolves followed behind it. That would make the walk much easier in the snow.

Ren Xiaosu did not know what the Wolf Kings intention was when it left him a rabbit. But he found it a little odd.

On the way back to the campsite, he noticed many people staring at him in surprise. However, Ren Xiaosu would never explain to them that the wolves gave him the rabbit.

When he got back, Yan Liuyuan asked, Bro, did you hunt the rabbit yourself?

Ren Xiaosu whispered, The wolves gave it to me. That Wolf King doesnt seem to have any malice towards us. For now, we wont have to worry too much. At the very least, we dont have to worry about the wolves attacking us. If the wolves had any malicious intent, killing Ren Xiaosu just now would definitely have been the best opportunity they had. After all, the distance between them earlier was just a leap away.

Ren Xiaosu was not in a hurry to eat the rabbit. Since everyone was already asleep and ate dinner in the evening, they definitely would not feel too hungry yet.

The escapees around them were so hungry their eyes gleamed upon seeing the rabbit. After all, some of them did not have anything to eat as they fled over the past two days. If it hadnt snowed today, they would not even have replenished the water lost from their bodies.

The snow may have looked white, but it was not as clean as you would think. Ren Xiaosu knew the escapees would pay the price for casually putting things in their mouths when they woke up the next morning

Currently, only a miniscule number of escapees still had any food left on them, while most of the others were famished with nothing to eat. When some people saw Ren Xiaosu bringing such a large rabbit back, their eyes lit up.

Some of those people were whispering among themselves, apparently discussing something. Yan Liuyuan glanced at Ren Xiaosu. Bro, youd better make an example of some of them quickly so that the others wont get any ideas.

Ren Xiaosu looked up at those escapees. Upon identifying the ringleaders, well kill them off. Wudi, make sure to protect everyone when it gets chaotic later. Ill handle the killing. When Ren Xiaosu mentioned killing people, his expression didnt change.

Then he noticed Jiang Wu had also woken up. Jiang Wu said, Xiaosu, do you have any weapons to spare? Can you lend one to me? Jiang Wu and her students had also brought a lot of food with them. Although the escapees looked like they were only interested in the rabbit for now, Jiang Wus group was also in danger of being targeted.

However, Jiang Wu did not request Ren Xiaosu to protect them as well. Instead, she wanted to borrow a weapon from him so they could protect themselves. Because Jiang Wu and her students had a separate campfire, it looked like they were two separate groups of people. Ren Xiaosu had also mentioned to Jiang Wu before that they would have to depend on themselves once they had escaped into the wilderness.

Ren Xiaosu smiled and quietly handed a gun to Jiang Wu. After the events of Stronghold 109, he had amassed quite a few firearms in his storage space. At the very least, he had enough to issue one to each person in their group.

When the Li Consortiums troops were attacked by those under the control of Li Shentan, many soldiers had died and a lot of their guns went missing. Ren Xiaosu was there at the scene.

Ms. Jiang, do you know how to use a gun? Ren Xiaosu asked.

Jiang Wu shook her head. No.

Ren Xiaosu asked again, Then have you killed a person before?

No. Jiang Wu shook her head again. However, her tone soon became determined as she said, For the sake of my students, I can do it.

Why not you give the gun to a male student to hold? Wang Yuchi looks quite strong. He can learn how to do this, Ren Xiaosu said.

No. Jiang Wu said, Their responsibility right now is to learn, not kill people. I know its not good to be so protective of them in times like these, but I know people change after killing someone. As long as I can protect them for one more day, I dont need them shouldering such sins.

Chen Wudi, who was next to them, suddenly said, If I dont descend into the Underworld, who will?

Ren Xiaosu told Chen Wudi, With a teacher like Jiang Wu around, you being a hero will have meaning.

At this moment, someone within the escapees group stood up and led others towards Ren Xiaosus group. Ren Xiaosu smiled at Yan Liuyuan and said, Remember the faces of these people.

As the escapees walked over aggressively, Ren Xiaosu was surprised to discover the old lady who tried using her seniority to her advantage also within the crowd.

But Chen Wudis expression seemed a bit strange. Master, theres someone in that crowd Ive helped before.

A man had his jacket taken by someone else, but Chen Wudi managed to prevent the robbery in time. But now, that man ended up joining forces with others to rob Chen Wudi and his group.

Ren Xiaosu did not know what to say.

The group of escapees walked up to Ren Xiaosus group and said, Im sure you all knew beforehand that something would happen to the stronghold, right? Did you people have anything to do with what happened at Stronghold 109?

Why? Are yall trying to gain the moral high ground? Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, The Li Consortium, the Qing Consortium, and the Yang Consortium all knew that something was going to happen at the stronghold, yet none of you knew a thing.

The people in their group looked at one another as this was their first time hearing about this. But soon, someone raised their voice and snapped, Theres so few of you here. Can you even finish eating so much food? Also, you are so well-prepared with supplies, so why cant you just help everyone?

As that person spoke, one of them came over in an attempt to take the large rabbit away!

Ren Xiaosu sneered as he took out his pistol and fired it into the air. The crowd of people were stunned. They did not expect Ren Xiaosu to have a gun on him!

The crowd started retreating quietly. Some of them even pulled others in front of them to shield themselves. They were hoping they would not be the ones to die when the bullets flew.

Who were the ones who suggested you rob us? Ren Xiaosu asked with a smile.

Noisy chatter filled the escapees group. It wasnt me! I think it was that guy in blue!

The man in blue said in panic, It wasnt me, dont lie! I said not to come over, yet you people insisted on doing so!

Enough with the arguing. Ren Xiaosu calmed down. I know who they are.

He raised his hand and shot the instigators that were standing at the front. In a mere two seconds, Ren Xiaosu had already identified and shot the three masterminds dead.

Everyone in the crowd started screaming and retreating. Not only did they not expect Ren Xiaosu to have a gun, they did not expect he would open fire on them!

This was what you would call a mob. They did not have any goals nor considered the consequences before doing things.

When something really happened, they would be easily scared off by just one person.

The man Chen Wudi had helped fell to the ground after losing his balance and got trampled by the crowd. He could not stand up again.

All of a sudden, someone whisper-shouted, Lets take the food from those students since they cant fight back!

They shifted their attention to Jiang Wu and her students immediately. The escapees all knew that Jiang Wus group also had food on them!
