At this moment, the escapees who had been starving for two days seemed to be possessed. When they heard the word "food," they charged at Jiang Wu and the others in a frenzy.
This was because everyone had been paying attention to this group. Jiang Wu and Ren Xiaosu's group should have a good relationship with each other, but there was still some estrangement between them. Didn't they notice that the two groups even ate separately?
But they did not understand that this was only because Jiang Wu wanted to stand on her own two feet and not be a burden to Ren Xiaosu and the others.
When the crowd charged at Jiang Wu and the others, Chen Wudi had already taken a step forward. After all, his master had instructed him to defend the campsite even if there were thousands of soldiers and horses!
To Chen Wudi, the people in front of him were no longer escapees but monstrous demons.
In his field of vision, the faces of the escapees had turned into black smoke, and their limbs had turned into claws and teeth.
But … before Chen Wudi could get in front of Jiang Wu, he saw Jiang Wu resolutely raise her pistol and shoot at the crowd.
The people who had charged at her had shocked expressions on their faces. Some of them even fell to the ground with a look of disbelief on their faces when they were suddenly shot.
After the victim was shot in the heart, blood spurted out from the wound and dyed Jiang Wu's fair face red.
However, the students were not very afraid when they saw this. Instead, they felt that the blood was like a plum blossom in the snow.
The crowd retreated in fright again when they heard the gunshot. Meanwhile, Jiang Wu was still holding her gun and panting as though she was in a daze.
Ren Xiaosu was watching this scene from the side. The world had already forced a good person like Jiang Wu to open fire and kill people.
Sister Xiaoyu walked over and slowly took the pistol from Jiang Wu's hand. Jiang Wu slowly regained consciousness at this moment. Sister Xiaoyu comforted her, "It's alright, it's alright now."
Ren Xiaosu looked at Jiang Wu and asked, "Are you afraid?"
In the snowy land, the swaying orange campfire made Jiang Wu's face look extremely gentle. Jiang Wu turned to look at Ren Xiaosu with reddened eyes and said, "If I don't go to hell, who will?"
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu realized that all the blood on Jiang Wu's body was involuntarily gathering in her hand, eventually forming a blood-colored plum blossom.
There was only one plum blossom on each branch, and the edge of the plum blossom petal was as sharp as a knife.
Following that, the plum blossom scattered. The five petals floated up and down around Jiang Wu as if protecting her.
A faint breeze blew around Jiang Wu, and her soft hair seemed to have a life of its own.
Ren Xiaosu seemed to be deep in thought as he threw a dried branch at Jiang Wu. The plum blossom petals seemed to be able to sense the branch and crushed it.
This time, it was Ren Xiaosu's turn to be stunned. He could never have expected that Jiang Wu would become a new supernatural being after that shot.
The students gathered around Jiang Wu and looked at her happily. When the students got closer, the plum blossoms returned to the branch like a bud waiting to bloom.
"Teacher, you'll also be a supernatural being from now on," the students said excitedly.
Wang Fugui took out his pistol, which was given to him by Ren Xiaosu a long time ago. He looked at the pistol, then at the fleeing crowd, and fell into a dilemma.
Ren Xiaosu snapped, "It has nothing to do with guns or killing people. It's purely the effect of having my willpower sublimated."
"Then can I sublimate a little?" Wang Fugui asked expectantly. Seeing how Wang Dalong kept doubting his bloodline, he really wanted to prove himself.
Ren Xiaosu was amused by Wang Fugui. "Don't think about all that nonsense. It's not like everyone can become a supernatural being. Even if you don't, you can still lead a good life."
The escapees had already retreated far away, afraid that Ren Xiaosu would continue to settle scores with them. It wasn't until this moment that they realized the moral coercion and public opinion that worked in the stronghold were no longer effective.
This was the wastelands, not the stronghold.
In the past, they thought that as long as there were enough people and as long as they dared to cause trouble, there would definitely be results.
In the past, they thought that as long as they stood on the moral high ground, others would have to submit.
But that was not the case in the wilderness. Ren Xiaosu used the gunshot to tell them they were wrong.
Since everyone was awake, Ren Xiaosu decided to cut open the rabbit and roast it for everyone to have a taste of its meat.
After entering the stronghold some time ago, Sister Xiaoyu discovered that the meat in the stronghold was also extremely expensive. Even protein synthesized meat was ridiculously expensive.
Therefore, they ate less meat in the stronghold.
Now that they were in the wilderness, Ren Xiaosu had the ability to hunt, he could naturally catch more wild animals to make up for the lack of meat they ate in the past.
In the early years, although Ren Xiaosu also knew how to hunt, his physical fitness and abilities limited his hunting targets. But now, he did not have to focus solely on sparrows.
The plump rabbit was placed over the fire with its fat. Ren Xiaosu took out some honey from his storage space and cut a few notches into the rabbit's meat. Very quickly, the fat on the meat dripped into the campfire.
On the other side, the students were so hungry that they were almost drooling. But since Ren Xiaosu did not ask them to eat, they could only watch obediently.
When they were escaping, Jiang Wu repeatedly reminded them that they had to rely on themselves for everything and not pin their hopes on others for help.
Suddenly, Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, "Why don't you guys come over and eat too?"
The students looked at Jiang Wu expectantly. "Can we, Teacher?"
Jiang Wu nodded with a smile. "Go ahead. Remember to say thank you."
Ren Xiaosu managed to earn more than 40 gratitude tokens from just this bit of barbecued meat. Some of the students thanked him several times in one go, and they were sincere each time.
Ren Xiaosu thought that these well-educated students were too polite. "Hahaha, eat more, eat more!"
The group of people gathered around the campfire in anticipation. Ren Xiaosu watched as the students hugged their knees and sat by the side, gulping down their saliva.
Seeing that the surface of the meat had already turned brown, he cut a small piece and shared it with everyone. However, the students modestly gave it to each other, and he only cut a small piece before passing it to the next person.
Ren Xiaosu had to admit that Jiang Wu had really taught them well.
At this moment, the aroma of the meat drifted over to the escapees along with the wind. They sat in a daze on the snow, but all they could do was smell the aroma.
They had never thought that with so many of them working together, it would not be a problem for them to defeat a herd of wild goats, pheasants, and ducks. These creatures in the wilderness had multiplied a lot after they were no longer under the control of humans.
But they had never thought of obtaining anything through their own hard work.
As Jiang Wu's students ate, they suddenly said to Ren Xiaosu, "Can you teach us how to hunt or how to use a gun? We also want to rely on our own abilities to get food and protect you in the future."
