At this moment, Ren Xiaosu waited for them to walk away before whispering, "I have a bottle of water here. Everyone, take a cloth and wipe your faces with it. The faces of the people in the stronghold are all clean, but the faces of us refugees are too dark, so they can recognize us at a glance. If you have better clothes, change into them and look more like the people in the stronghold. "
The people in front of them were all in a sorry state. Their faces were so dark that it looked like they had just been through a war.
When they finally made it to Stronghold 109, they were not allowed to enter. At that time, many of them would probably have broken down.
"I think he didn't hear the wolf because he was too far away." Someone sneered. "If he had heard it, he would definitely have run faster than us."
"Now that you mention it, it sounds like the Kyung Clan Consortium saved him." Wang Fugui said in a speechless manner, "But if you want to sneak into Stronghold 109, you have to consider some other factors. For example, there are more than 600 refugees here, and they all recognize you. Besides, if Stronghold 109 refuses to let anyone in, the big shots of Stronghold 113 will end up as refugees, let alone us. "
"No." Wang Fugui shook his head and said, "The stronghold residents all use identification cards. We don't have any."
Ren Xiaosu and the others found a leeward spot to rest for a while. Even if Ren Xiaosu could withstand it, Wang Fugui, Sister Xiaoyu, and the others would not be able to.
If Xu Xianchu, Yang Xiaojin, and the others saw Ren Xiaosu with his face wiped, they would probably not be able to recognize him if they did not take a closer look.
Even if they could not enter the stronghold, Ren Xiaosu and the others could still survive.
Holy shit!
"Can't I just say I lost it when I was fleeing?" Ren Xiaosu asked, "You were fleeing for more than 100 kilometers and even encountered such a huge disaster, so it's normal to lose it."
However, it would be difficult for the group of big shots who had escaped from the stronghold. They were still more than 100 kilometers away from Stronghold 109, so they would die of exhaustion just walking there.
"Is he really unable to walk or is he just faking it?" someone asked curiously after they walked far away.
"It's fine." Ren Xiaosu said nonchalantly, "This is just a test. Think about it, what if those refugees all die? No one would know who we are then …"
"We'll blend in with this group of people." Ren Xiaosu lowered his voice and said, "Try not to come into contact with the refugees."
When the refugees passed by just now, Ren Xiaosu had deliberately asked Yan Liuyuan to lower his head a little. Among them, only Yan Liuyuan's face was clean and easy to remember.
He was used to thinking that the stronghold residents' faces were all very pale, while Yan Liuyuan's face was still as pale as ever as he escaped. Therefore, he did not realize that other people would not have it as easy as Yan Liuyuan when escaping for their lives.
Wang Fugui looked at Ren Xiaosu in shock. How could this be?
"Can't you see that he's rubbing his leg? We even rested for a while in between, but I'm afraid that they didn't get any rest either, right? This is what they call being too clever for one's own good. "
Of course, the water in the bottle had been poured in later. The water from before had already been drunk.
There was no precedent for this. No stronghold had ever directly collapsed before, so Ren Xiaosu and the others did not have any examples they could refer to. They could only take it one step at a time.
Wang Fugui said, "That's hard to say because information isn't shared between strongholds. Even if you say you're from Stronghold 113, they can't verify it. In the past, people had to send letters to and from the stronghold's overseer's official seal before they could pass through. But now that Stronghold 113 is gone, I heard that the previous overseer of Stronghold 113, Old Liu, has been sent to the Northern Frontier by the Kyung Clan. I wonder who's in charge of the official seal now …."
The few of them patted the dust off their bodies and wiped their faces a little cleaner. At this moment, the large group of people who had escaped from the stronghold finally arrived.
The group of people whispered to each other as they walked away. No one even intended to tell Ren Xiaosu that there was a wolf behind them.
Sister Xiaoyu laughed off to the side. Ren Xiaosu said expressionlessly, "Ahem, let's paint our faces a little darker …."
When the large group of stronghold residents passed by, Ren Xiaosu led Yan Liuyuan and the others and successfully blended into the crowd. At this moment, everyone was feeling indecisive and confused, so no one noticed them.
But at this moment, some sort of conflict broke out in front of the fleeing crowd. Ren Xiaosu jumped up to take a look. It seemed that the group of refugees in front of them were arguing with the stronghold residents over something. Meanwhile, the director of the sand quarry, Wang Yiheng, was pointing a pistol at someone's head.
After that, Ren Xiaosu, who was sitting on the ground, lowered his head again and massaged his leg muscles.
However, when Ren Xiaosu saw them, he was stunned. Why did these people's faces look even darker than his earlier face?
It was such a pity that he didn't have enough water. Ren Xiaosu felt a little regretful.
They had been too careless!
The dust from the collapsed houses during the earthquake was all stuck to their faces. When they sweated while running away, everyone's faces were all smudged and dark!
"That's quite possible." Ren Xiaosu said, "Stronghold 109 might not let anyone in."
Actually, Ren Xiaosu had the opportunity to wash his face. After all, it wasn't particularly difficult for him to find a water source in the wilderness. However, the dark look on his face was a form of protection in itself.
Ren Xiaosu looked up at them. "I can't move anymore."
Wang Fugui said worriedly, "Will this really work? Some of the refugees will definitely recognize us. "
The refugees were short of water. Even a country gentleman like Wang Fugui was no exception to the water quota.
However, Ren Xiaosu knew there would be a pack of wolves behind them. Not only that, but there would also be the even more terrifying Experimentals!
At this moment, the faces of Ren Xiaosu and the others were clean. It was as though they were the important people in the stronghold, while the people in front of them were refugees fleeing for their lives.
The refugees were used to not washing their faces. But if they wanted to blend into the crowd in the stronghold, they would have to disguise themselves better. Otherwise, if they really had a chance to sneak into Stronghold 109, it would be bad if they got exposed because of a small detail.
When the refugees saw that Ren Xiaosu did not want to talk to them, they did not say anything and continued walking forward.
Previously, his face could be said to be extremely black …
Ren Xiaosu's bottle of water was taken out from the storage space in the palace. Even when he was collecting the gold, Ren Xiaosu still kept two bottles of water in the storage space. That was because clean water was very important in the wilderness.
Of course, it was a good thing to be able to get into the stronghold.
Ren Xiaosu smacked his lips. "Who knows, we might've died in the stronghold if we didn't make it to the Northern Frontier. Life is really a blessing in disguise."
When the group of refugees who had escaped came over, they were a little surprised to see Ren Xiaosu and the others not moving forward. "Why aren't y 'all moving forward?"
When the stronghold residents who had arrived first saw Ren Xiaosu and the others, they were stunned. However, they did not say anything. They were all running for their lives at this time. Who cared if the other party's face was white or not?
As the night grew darker, since Ren Xiaosu had the intention of sneaking into Stronghold 109 to fish in troubled waters, he started thinking about it. He called everyone together and muttered, "Do you think it's feasible for us to sneak into Stronghold 109 by blending in with that group of stronghold residents?"
Now that everyone had wiped their faces and changed their clothes to blend in with the crowd in the stronghold, many people might not be able to recognize them. After all, there were thousands of people behind them, and it looked like a sea of people.
