In the middle of the night, Ren Xiaosu's sudden walk into the wilderness alone had alarmed a lot of people. Regardless of what he was doing, just the fact that someone dared to come and go alone was enough to surprise the refugees. After all, there was still the pack of wolves out there.
And now, when Ren Xiaosu came back, he was carrying a huge rabbit on his shoulder. Had he gone out to hunt?
Seeing how cold the weather was, with snowflakes the size of goose feathers falling from the sky, many people were worried that they would be buried under the snow when they woke up.
However, even in this terrible weather, there were still people who went out to hunt such a huge rabbit.
When the wolf king left the rabbit, the snow was already very deep. At that time, Ren Xiaosu had quietly watched as the wolf king opened up a path in the snow, flattening the snow in front of him while the pack of wolves followed behind it. This way, it would be much easier for them to walk in the snow.
Ren Xiaosu did not know what the wolf king meant by throwing him a rabbit, but he felt that it was a little strange.
On the way back, he noticed quite a number of surprised gazes, but Ren Xiaosu would not explain to them that it was given by the wolf pack.
When they reached their campsite, Yan Liuyuan asked curiously, "Brother, did you hunt the rabbit yourself?"
Ren Xiaosu lowered his voice and said, "The wolf pack gave it to me. This wolf king doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards us, so we can relax for now. At least we don't have to worry about the wolf pack sneaking up on us."
If the wolf pack had any ill intentions, then that would have been the best opportunity for them to kill Ren Xiaosu. The distance between them would only be a matter of a leap.
However, Ren Xiaosu was not in a hurry to eat the rabbit. Everyone was already asleep, and they had already eaten dinner, so they were definitely not that hungry.
The other refugees were so hungry that their eyes were glowing green. After all, they had been escaping for two days and some of them had not eaten anything at all. If not for the fact that it was snowing today, they would not even be able to replenish their water intake.
However, although the snow looked white, it was not as clean as one would imagine. Ren Xiaosu felt that when they woke up tomorrow morning, these refugees would pay the price for eating so casually.
At this time, there were very few refugees with any food on them, while most of them were starving. When some people saw that Ren Xiaosu was carrying such a huge rabbit back, their eyes turned green.
Some people were whispering to each other as though they were discussing something. Yan Liuyuan looked at Ren Xiaosu and said, "Bro, it's best to make an example out of him as soon as possible so that the others won't have any more ideas."
Ren Xiaosu looked up at the escapees and said, "Find the culprits and kill them. Wudi, if things get chaotic later, you'll have to protect everyone. I'll do the killing."
When Ren Xiaosu mentioned the word "murder," his expression did not change at all.
Suddenly, he realized Jiang Wu had also woken up. Jiang Wu said, "Xiaosu, do you have any weapons you don't need? Can you lend them to me?"
Jiang Wu and the others had also brought a lot of food with them. Although it seemed like the refugees had been attracted here by the rabbit, they were still in potential danger.
However, Jiang Wu did not ask Ren Xiaosu to protect them. Instead, she borrowed a weapon from Ren Xiaosu in an attempt to protect herself. As Jiang Wu and her students had their own separate campfires, the two groups still looked like two different groups. Ren Xiaosu had also said that Jiang Wu and the others would have to protect themselves in the wilderness.
Ren Xiaosu smiled and quietly handed a gun to Jiang Wu. After the incident at Stronghold 109, he had collected quite a lot of firearms from his storage space. At the very least, it was enough for everyone in the group to have one.
Back when the Li Consortium's troops were attacked by Li Shentan, many of their soldiers had died and many of their firearms were lost. At that time, Ren Xiaosu was present 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 anyone before?"
"No." Jiang Wu shook her head again. However, her tone quickly became firm. "For the sake of my students, I can kill."
"Why don't you give the gun to the boys? I think that student named Wang Yuchi is quite strong, so he can be tempered a little," Ren Xiaosu said.
"No." Jiang Wu said, "Their mission right now is to learn, not to kill. I know it's not good to protect them like this in this world, but I know that many people's temperaments change drastically after killing someone. As long as I can protect them for another day, I don't need them to bear the consequences of their sins. "
At this moment, Chen Wudi said in a daze, "If I don't go to hell, who will?"
Ren Xiaosu suddenly said to Chen Wudi, "With a teacher like Jiang Wu around, it's meaningful for you to be a hero."
At this moment, someone from the crowd of escapees stood up and walked over to Ren Xiaosu and the others. Ren Xiaosu said to Yan Liuyuan with a smile, "Remember their faces."
The escapees walked over aggressively. Ren Xiaosu was surprised to see that even the old woman who had taken advantage of her seniority was among them.
But Chen Wudi had a strange expression on his face. "Master, there's someone I've saved in this crowd."
Earlier, a man's jacket had been snatched by someone, but Chen Wudi managed to stop it in time. But now, that man had joined forces with others to rob Chen Wudi and the others.
Ren Xiaosu did not know what to say. The group of escapees came up to Ren Xiaosu and the others and said, "Y 'all must have known beforehand that something would happen in the stronghold, right? Did what happened to Stronghold 109 have anything to do with you guys?"
"Why? Are you trying to find the moral high ground for yourselves?" Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, "The Li Consortium, Kyung Clan, and Yang Clan knew that something would happen in the stronghold. But y 'all just didn't know."
Everyone looked at one another. This was the first time they were hearing about this. But soon, someone raised his voice and said sternly, "There's only so many of you, so how can you possibly eat so much? Besides, y 'all brought so much food with you, so why can't you help everyone?"
As they spoke, someone came over and tried to carry the large rabbit away!
Ren Xiaosu sneered as he took out his pistol and fired a shot into the air. The crowd was stunned. They did not expect Ren Xiaosu to have a gun with him!
The crowd started retreating quietly. Some people even pulled others in front of them, hoping that they would not be the ones to die when the bullets hit them.
"Who suggested that y 'all come here to rob us?" Ren Xiaosu said with a smile.
A commotion broke out in the crowd of escapees. "It wasn't me. I think it was that guy in blue!"
The guy in blue said in panic, "It wasn't me. Don't spout nonsense. I told y 'all not to come here, but y' all insisted on coming!"
"Alright, stop arguing." Ren Xiaosu calmed down. "I know who it was."
He raised his hand and fired at the instigators in the front row. In just two seconds, Ren Xiaosu found the three plotters from the crowd and shot them dead.
The crowd started screaming and retreating. Not only did they not expect Ren Xiaosu to have a gun, but they also did not expect Ren Xiaosu to open fire!
This was what a motley crew was like. They acted without any goals or consideration of the consequences.
If something really happened, a single person could scare off 10,000 of them.
The man whom Chen Wudi had helped earlier fell to the ground as he could not stand properly. The crowd trampled over him, but he did not have the ability to stand up again.
But someone suddenly whispered, "Rob those students! They can't resist!"
Everyone turned their attention back to Jiang Wu and the others. The escapees knew Jiang Wu and the others also had food on them!
