Under Yan Liuyuan's guidance, Li Qingzheng drove the truck into town. He was a little puzzled. How did this group of foreign refugees manage to gain a foothold in town so quickly? They even bought a brick house that was closest to the stronghold's gate?
And they even bought two houses in one go!
However, he recalled that when Wang Fugui bribed him earlier, he gave him 100 antibiotics and several watches. These things were still in his bag and had not been sold for cash. How could a normal person afford to bribe someone like that?
Li Qingzheng was thinking that since he and Ren Xiaosu could be considered friends, and he had also found a legitimate job at the outpost, should he return the bribes he had received to Ren Xiaosu?
But when he thought of throwing away such a large sum of money, Li Qingzheng felt a little reluctant.
Along the way, a woman saw Yan Liuyuan through the car window and greeted him happily, "Liuyuan, that's the brother you were talking about, right? You didn't wait in vain at the entrance of town for so many days. You're finally back. Here are three eggs for you to cook with your brother when you get home tonight. "
Yan Liuyuan took the eggs with a smile and handed one back, leaving only two eggs for himself. "Yes, this is my brother. The driver isn't. He doesn't need to eat eggs."
Li Qingzheng was speechless.
'So what if you don't treat yourself as a human? Why should I not need to eat eggs?!'
Ren Xiaosu chuckled and said, "You seem to be quite popular in town."
Actually, back in Town 113, Yan Liuyuan was already very popular with the women. And now that he had cleaned up his face and was good-looking and quick-witted, it was only natural that he would become a friend of the women.
Yan Liuyuan smiled and said, "I've been asking around a lot of people in town lately. After Uncle Fugui came here, he helped out quite a few people with small favors in order to gain a foothold. That's why we're quite popular. Of course, there are also quite a few ingrates."
The so-called small help was to help repair the furniture, give some candy, and receive the goods at a slightly higher price. Wang Fugui was very good at controlling the scale, and never gave big favors.
From Wang Fugui's point of view, not only would great kindness not make friends, but it would also easily offend people. Moreover, there was no use in doing such a big favor. When it came to a critical juncture, not many people would be able to return the favor. Most of them would just hit him while he was down.
Wang Fugui was only doing this to make things more convenient for him in town. He did not expect anyone to help him in times of crisis. Rather than relying on others, he might as well rely on himself … No, rather than relying on others, he might as well rely on Ren Xiaosu.
When Ren Xiaosu heard Yan Liuyuan say that he had gathered a lot of information, he asked curiously, "What information?"
Nowadays, the outskirts of the town were filled with military camps, with troops of different designations constantly coming and going.
Yan Liuyuan said, "It's said that the Li Consortium's troops sent to Stronghold 109 to wipe out the Experimentals have failed. The first batch of troops has already been withdrawn, and they've lost nearly half of their troops."
"How did you get this information?" Ren Xiaosu frowned.
"Those soldiers are stationed next to town, so they can't help but look for their partners. Meanwhile, the single women are also happy to have a consortium's soldier as a backer." Yan Liuyuan said, "Sometimes, they'll talk to the women about these things. They said that their attack was going very smoothly at the beginning, but they were immediately defeated when the Experimentals dragged them into urban warfare. Furthermore, the FOB was also destroyed by the Experimentals. Now, they're planning to send more troops over and use heavy firepower. Even if they have to destroy the stronghold, they have to wipe out the Experimentals. "
This conclusion was also more in line with Ren Xiaosu's guess. When he saw the combat troops heading to Stronghold 109 earlier, they did not bring any heavy firepower with them. It was as though they were trying to preserve the stronghold's buildings as much as possible so that they wouldn't have to spend too much on reconstruction.
But for the Experimentals, it would be suicidal to fight them in urban warfare. They were several times faster and stronger than normal humans in the buildings. Unless an army of supernatural beings was sent to fight them, it would be very difficult for automatic rifles to be used to their fullest potential at close range.
As a result, the human combat troops suffered heavy losses.
But now that the Li Consortium had made up their minds, Ren Xiaosu guessed that the Experimentals would probably run into some trouble. As a human, Ren Xiaosu certainly hoped that the Li Consortium could get rid of the malignant tumor that was the Experimentals.
No matter how evil a person was, they would still have a little bit of humanity left in them. But the Experimentals did not have any of that.
"There's something else." Yan Liuyuan said, "After the school in town found out about Ms. Jiang's identity, they wanted to hire her as a substitute teacher. However, she rejected the offer because she said she was the only supernatural being left at home, so she had to look after the place."
"Mhm." Ren Xiaosu nodded. From this, it could be seen that Jiang Wu was still trustworthy. "Is there any other news?"
Yan Liuyuan thought for a moment and said, "By the way, the Pyro Company seems to have left some of their people here as well. Although I don't know where they are, we can often see flyers in town overnight. It's the same as the ones we saw in Stronghold 109."
The Pyro Company? Ren Xiaosu frowned. Since Li Qingzheng was present, Ren Xiaosu could not say too much to Yan Liuyuan.
However, he had seen the Pyro Company's character before. If they knew there were supernatural beings nearby, they would definitely spare no effort to capture them.
Ren Xiaosu was not too afraid. After all, he felt the Pyro Company was very weak the last time they fought. However, it would be dangerous if Jiang Wu were to be exposed.
"We're here, we're here!" Yan Liuyuan excitedly pointed at the two brick courtyards and shouted, "This is the place!"
When Li Qingzheng stopped the car, Yan Liuyuan jumped out and rushed out. "Sister Xiaoyu, Ms. Jiang, look who's back!"
Before Ren Xiaosu could even get out of the car, a lot of people rushed out of the courtyard. Sister Xiaoyu, Jiang Wu, and the female students were all here.
Li Qingzheng's eyes widened when he saw this. He thought to himself, 'Ren Xiaosu is so lucky. He's practically a role model for all men!'
Ren Xiaosu said to Wang Fugui with a smile, "There's some game we brought from the mountains in the back of the truck. Calculate the price and pay it to Platoon Leader Li. There's also a portion of it that's free. We brought some New Year's goods from the mountains for y 'all."
Wang Fugui and the others were stunned. Everyone thought to themselves that Ren Xiaosu was indeed Ren Xiaosu. After traveling so far away as a sentry, he could still bring back some meat for them to eat.
Wang Fugui said with a smile, "It just so happens that there's a lot of troops in the vicinity right now, so there's a shortage of meat. We can definitely sell this meat for a good price."
With that, Wang Fugui walked to the back of the military transport truck and looked inside. He was stunned by what he saw. "There's so much of it?"
Ren Xiaosu handed him a list. "These are the things we need. Prepare some salt, seasonings, and clothes for us!"
"Sure, leave it to me. Go in and get some rest." Wang Fugui said with a smile, "You don't have to worry about something like this."
Li Qingzheng watched this scene unfold from the side. He used to think that Wang Fugui was the backbone of the group, but from the looks of it now, it seemed like everyone listened to Ren Xiaosu.
How old was this young man? Why did a smart businessman like Wang Fugui have to listen to him?
