Everyone around them fell silent. They did not know how to explain it to Ren Xiaosu. In fact, they did not even want to explain anything to Ren Xiaosu. They only hoped that Ren Xiaosu would always be kept in the dark.
Wang Fugui said, "Eldest Senior Bro said he had something to attend to and would be away for a while."
Ren Xiaosu stared blankly at Wang Fugui. He was not a fool, or rather, he was a little smarter than most people.
There was no need to say anything else. He had already guessed the truth.
So when Wang Fugui said this, Ren Xiaosu, who was lying on the bed, suddenly burst into tears. "How did he leave?"
After Yan Liuyuan asked the doctor to leave, he sat down next to Ren Xiaosu. "When Brother Invincible left, he beat up all the demons and monsters in the area and stepped on thousands of demons and monsters. Colorful clouds bloomed in the sky, and the dazzling light from the heavens shone on him. It was as if a door to heaven had been opened for him. I'm guessing that someone from the heavens came to pick him up."
Ren Xiaosu did not say anything else, and the surroundings fell silent again.
But Yan Liuyuan suddenly realized that Ren Xiaosu was trembling all over, and even his face was flushed. Yan Liuyuan lifted Ren Xiaosu's trousers and sleeves and was surprised to find that the blood vessels in Ren Xiaosu's legs and hands had turned silver.
Yan Liuyuan also had nanomachines, so he knew all too well what was going on. Ren Xiaosu had actually forcefully used nanomachines to set his bones without any anesthetic at all.
There were always people who described their pain as being in bone-deep pain, but most of the time, this was just an exaggeration.
But now, Ren Xiaosu's pain was not just an exaggeration.
His bones were broken, and pieces of bone were stuck in his flesh. He had to use nanomachines to constantly move the bone pieces and reattach them to his broken bones.
It was like playing a jigsaw puzzle. Sometimes, if you got it wrong, you had to take it off and reassemble it.
That kind of pain was enough to make Ren Xiaosu faint just by reattaching one of his arms.
After a while, Ren Xiaosu woke up. After waking up, he continued to use the nanomachines to set his bones without making a sound.
At the side, Yan Liuyuan was crying so hard that he couldn't even speak. "Brother, please rest for a while. Please stop."
But Ren Xiaosu gritted his teeth and said nothing.
He couldn't stop. All he could do was reconnect his bones as soon as possible and use the nanomachines to fix them in place. Only then would he not suffer any sequelae in the future.
This wasteland was too dangerous. If he became a cripple in the future, how could he face the unknown dangers?
He woke up, fainted, fainted, and woke up. He didn't know how many times he had repeated this. Yan Liuyuan suddenly understood that Ren Xiaosu wanted to use the physical pain to suppress the pain in his heart.
That kind of pain in his heart felt like someone had stabbed a hole in it. It felt empty.
When Wang Fugui and Li Qingzheng realized what Ren Xiaosu was doing, they were shocked. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have found it hard to believe that someone could endure such pain to reconnect his bones.
A normal person would probably cry out in pain if they were cut once. But Ren Xiaosu had made countless cuts in his body. This was the only way he could remove the bone fragments that were stuck in his flesh.
It wasn't until Ren Xiaosu fixed all his bones and fixed them in place with the nanomachines that he fell asleep. His clothes were completely drenched in sweat.
Sister Xiaoyu wiped away her tears and sweat for him at the same time. Yan Liuyuan suddenly said, "In the past, when my brother didn't know how to hunt, we always ate wild vegetables."
The others were stunned. They did not know why Yan Liuyuan was suddenly saying this.
Yan Liuyuan continued, "No one taught him which kinds of wild vegetables he couldn't and could eat. Some of them are especially bitter, and some of them are slightly poisonous. How do you think he knew which ones were edible? He only left the edible ones for me after he tasted them himself. Uncle Fugui is right. My brother is tough. If he weren't, he would've been poisoned to death in the wilderness a long time ago. "
When the escapees saw that nothing dangerous was happening, they decided to stay at the campsite and wait for the Li Consortium's troops to rescue them. They firmly believed that the Li Consortium would come to their rescue. After all, they were legal residents of the stronghold.
During the day, Yan Liuyuan took a short nap. No stronghold residents dared to approach them again during the day.
Meanwhile, the refugees who had escaped from town sensed a familiar aura from Yan Liuyuan. It was the same kind of determination that made a living in the wilderness like them.
At night, Yan Liuyuan stayed by Ren Xiaosu's side all the time. He used to be the one keeping vigil at night, and it was still the same now.
In the middle of the night, everyone was awoken by a loud wail. They looked towards the source of the sound and saw Yan Liuyuan standing guard next to Ren Xiaosu with his hands covered in blood. Two adults were lying at his feet, and one of them was still barely breathing.
Yan Liuyuan grabbed the man by his hair and pulled him up. He calmly slid the dagger across his neck and said, "If anyone sneaks up on us again, this will be the outcome. If you want to find food, go look for it in the wilderness yourself!"
In the past, Ren Xiaosu and Yan Liuyuan were a little puzzled as to why Yan Liuyuan's physical strength did not seem to have increased by much even though he was also a supernatural being.
Based on the progress of other supernatural beings, their physical fitness should be much higher than an adult's after awakening for so long. But this was not the case for Yan Liuyuan. It was as though his identity as a supernatural being was fake, and he could not even withstand the usual backlash.
But now, Ren Xiaosu had used the nanomachines to help him make up for this shortcoming.
The stronghold residents looked at Yan Liuyuan in fear. They suddenly realized this child was going crazy. As long as anyone could threaten the unconscious young man next to him, he would not hesitate to kill them.
Moreover, they could sense Yan Liuyuan's disgust for them from the bottom of his heart.
Someone whispered from afar, "When the troops get back, we'll report all their evil deeds. What awaits them will only be severe punishment!"
"Right, the Li Consortium's troops should be arriving soon!"
But when they said this, they also felt something was amiss. It had already been a day, so why hadn't the Li Consortium's troops arrived yet?
Even if the front line of Mt. Qingsheng was at war, weren't there still several troops stationed at the stronghold in the rear? Why hadn't anyone arrived yet?
But at this moment, the lights of vehicles could be faintly seen approaching from the north. The escapees were all excited. "The Li Consortium's troops are finally here!"
"We're saved!"
But when the vehicles got closer, they saw that the escapees had no intention of stopping at all. The long convoy of vehicles continued heading south!
When the infantry troops at the rear passed by, someone suddenly grabbed a soldier and shouted, "Sir, where are you going? Please save us!"
"Please save us! Give us some food!"
