Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin stood out among the crowd as they walked against the flow of people to the rooftop. However, as everyone was in a hurry to leave school, no one noticed them.
As Ren Xiaosu followed behind Yang Xiaojin, he realized she had a really good figure and was also tall.
When Yang Xiaojin glanced at him from the corner of the staircase, Ren Xiaosu immediately looked away.
When they reached the rooftop, Yang Xiaojin pushed open the rusty iron door and walked out. Ren Xiaosu immediately felt his vision broaden as he stood on the rooftop. This was the first time he had a chance to look down at the stronghold. Although the school building was not that high, he could see very far into the distance.
At this moment, Yang Xiaojin threw something at Ren Xiaosu. It was the dagger Yang Xiaojin had stolen from Ren Xiaosu.
"We're even now." Yang Xiaojin's voice was very calm. She did not explain why she had stolen the dagger back then, and Ren Xiaosu did not pursue the matter either.
The two of them stood in a stalemate on the rooftop.
Suddenly, footsteps came from the rooftop entrance behind Ren Xiaosu. He turned around and was surprised to see a male and female student walking up the stairs hand in hand. It looked like they were a couple.
The couple did not mind that there were people on the rooftop and continued walking up. However, Ren Xiaosu closed the door to the rooftop.
The couple looked dumbfounded as they watched the door close.
When Ren Xiaosu closed the door and turned around to look at Yang Xiaojin, he discovered a small, silver pistol had appeared in her hand and was pointed at him.
Ren Xiaosu immediately recognized the pistol. It was a SIG P238, a classic pocket-sized pistol from the Sig Sauer Company. It was known as the Belle of Pistols.
However, Ren Xiaosu did not panic. He said, "If we wanted to make a move, we would've done it long ago. Didn't we come here to discuss how to reconcile?"
If Yang Xiaojin had really intended to shoot, she would not have thrown the dagger at him. Ren Xiaosu was abnormally calm at this moment.
Yang Xiaojin put away the pistol again. "How did you escape from the Kyung Clan's blockade?"
"I just ran all the way out." Ren Xiaosu feigned ignorance.
"What exactly happened in the Jing Mountains after we left?" Yang Xiaojin asked.
"Countless Experimentals rushed out, and there were also monsters in the crater." Ren Xiaosu said briefly, "A lot of accidents happened. You can't imagine how terrifying the monsters in the crater are."
"I can imagine it," Yang Xiaojin corrected her.
This answer stunned Ren Xiaosu, because Yang Xiaojin's tone was very firm. Could it be that Yang Xiaojin had seen something with such a physique before?
Ren Xiaosu asked curiously, "Are you worried that I will report you to the Kyung Clan?"
"You're not afraid now." Yang Xiaojin said, "Because you also have a secret that the Kyung Clan consortium knows."
"What secret?" Ren Xiaosu felt that something was wrong, as if he had missed some details!
Yang Xiaojin smiled. There was even a hint of pride in her smile. "When Luo Xinyu and I returned the way we came, we realized the wolves were waiting at the end of the canyon. If it weren't for Luo Xinyu's ability to move through the shadows, we would probably have had to take a detour. And I calculated the time you took to get back. You must have returned to town before Stronghold 113 was destroyed. First of all, if you were just a normal person with a bit more strength, you wouldn't have been able to run that fast. Secondly, if you were a normal person, you wouldn't have been able to get past the wolves. "
Ren Xiaosu's heart tightened. He heard Yang Xiaojin say, "So you're also a supernatural being. It's just that you've hidden it even more than Luo Xinyu and I did. It's no wonder you dared to join the group and head to the Jing Mountains. So it's because you had something to rely on."
"I didn't see any wolves on the way back." Ren Xiaosu said calmly, "I just ran straight through the canyon. The face bugs aren't fast, so I was already running past them by the time they came out of their caves."
Yang Xiaojin looked at Ren Xiaosu seriously and said, "I'm not listening."
Ren Xiaosu was speechless.
He felt helpless. He had explained so much, but she only said three words to deny it.
But Yang Xiaojin suddenly said, "I'm not saying this to threaten you. I just want you to understand that we all have secrets, so please don't do anything that will hurt both sides."
"Deal!" Ren Xiaosu said. Actually, this was also his motive. As long as everyone got along peacefully, nothing would happen.
Previously, they had gotten along quite well in the Jing Mountains, so there was no need for them to fight to the death here.
Moreover, if Yang Xiaojin and the others really wanted to make a move, he would actually have more weaknesses. That was because Yan Liuyuan's Sister Xiaoyu and the others were just normal people.
Of course, this brief period of peace did not mean Ren Xiaosu should let his guard down. After all, someone like Yang Xiaojin could even steal a dagger that had been given away, so what else would she not do?
After saying that, Yang Xiaojin was about to go downstairs. When she passed by Ren Xiaosu, she was surprised to see Ren Xiaosu clutching the dagger tightly.
Ren Xiaosu asked, "Why did the Pyro Company purchase the blood of supernatural beings? And why did y 'all want to kill Qing Zhen? "
"There are more dangers in Stronghold 109 than you can imagine." Yang Xiaojin said, "Don't provoke the Pyro Company without good reason, and don't sell your blood either. That's all I can say. As for the matter between us and Qing Zhen, it's not something you can interfere with. "
"What other dangers are there?" Ren Xiaosu was stunned. Could it be that there were other organizations here other than the Pyro Company?
"Don't worry about it." Yang Xiaojin said, "Besides, I'm afraid you won't have the time to care about anything else lately. You might have underestimated how radical the stronghold residents are when it comes to ostracizing the refugees."
Ren Xiaosu wondered if the matter of the refugees entering the stronghold was not over yet.
At this moment, he saw a girl with a headscarf and sunglasses standing at the school's entrance. When she saw him looking over, she even waved at him to greet him.
Just from this familiar greeting, Ren Xiaosu knew it was Luo Xinyu.
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu asked his last question. Actually, to be precise, this was the deepest question in his heart. "Why are there supernatural beings here?"
Yang Xiaojin stood at the entrance of the rooftop and turned around to look at Ren Xiaosu. She pointed at her head and said, "Humans have been weakening their physical abilities during the process of evolution. You mentioned this before back in the Jing Mountains. That Mr. Zhang Jinglin from Stronghold 178 said this is the price of intelligence."
"I know." Ren Xiaosu nodded. At that time, Yang Xiaojin had even hinted to him that Zhang Jinglin was not a simple person. So it turned out that Yang Xiaojin had already guessed his identity at that time, but she was not too sure about it.
Suddenly, Ren Xiaosu felt that this conversation was extremely important. It was as though Yang Xiaojin was using the information she knew to reveal the truth of the current world to him. Ren Xiaosu became serious.
"So if there's a price to pay, there'll naturally be a greater gain," Yang Xiaojin said.
Ren Xiaosu was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
Yang Xiaojin smiled. She lowered her cap and said, "When a disaster comes, mental strength is the number one weapon humans have in the face of danger."
