The soldier said coldly, "Save you? Then who's going to save us? The front line at Mt. Qingsheng in the north has already fallen. The Yang Clan's armored brigade and infantry brigade will be arriving soon. We have to retreat to Mt. Guangying in the rear! "
"Then what should we do? We've got people committing murder here, "someone said in a sobbing tone.
But at this moment, an officer from the Li Consortium's troops shouted, "Raise your guns and be on guard! Don't you know what to do now that you've lost the battle? Prevent the spies from mingling with them and forbid them from getting close! "
The sound of guns being cocked rang out. The Li Consortium's troops aimed their guns at the escapees and shouted for them to retreat.
The escapees could never have imagined that the Li Consortium's troops they had been waiting for the entire day would treat them like this!
They got anxious. "You can't treat legal residents of the stronghold like this! I'm going to lodge a complaint against you!"
But someone from the Li Consortium's troops laughed when they heard this. "Lodge a complaint? Where can we lodge a complaint? We'll talk about it if you survive! "
With that, the Li Consortium's troops continued retreating. Some of the escapees wanted to chase after them, but they heard gunshots. The Li Consortium's bullets hit their feet, warning them not to move!
Some of the escapees broke down on the spot. When the stronghold collapsed, their worldview had been shaken. Now that the reinforcements they were looking forward to had abandoned them, it was another violent blow.
Yan Liuyuan and the others had a different mindset from the escapees. At this moment, Yan Liuyuan was more worried that the Li Consortium would take them away with them. Right now, the Li Consortium's troops were the last people he wanted to come into contact with.
After all, Ren Xiaosu's current identity was more sensitive.
At night, eight hours after the Li Consortium's departure, Ren Xiaosu regained consciousness.
This time, his eyes were calm. "Head deeper into the mountains. Don't stay here any longer."
Ren Xiaosu already had the vague idea of retreating into the mountains. Of course, this was also because the emergence of the seeds had given him the ability to lead everyone into the mountains.
Those seeds were enough for him to establish a small piece of pure land in the wilderness.
The only bad thing was that it would take a hundred days to recover from an injury to the tendons and bones. Although Ren Xiaosu's current physical fitness was different from ordinary people, it would still take dozens of days for him to fully recover.
But suddenly, the special sound of armored vehicles moving through the forest came from the north. After the armored vehicles ran over the originally white snow, chunks of soil were turned up, revealing the black ground underneath.
Ren Xiaosu lay on the ground, unable to move. He frowned and sighed, "It's too late."
It was only because he had been unconscious for too long that he had missed the best time to leave.
However, when the Yang Clan's armored brigade and infantry brigade arrived quickly, the escapees forced themselves to remain calm and said, "The Yang Clan shouldn't be able to do anything to us. We're just civilians and didn't participate in the battle."
"That's right, the war was started by the Li Clan, so it has nothing to do with us. Even if the Yang Clan occupies Stronghold 108, we're still legal residents of Stronghold 108," someone said.
When the Yang Clan troops arrived, an officer in the armored vehicle frowned and looked at the escapees. He signaled for the troops to stop. "They should be from Stronghold 108. Be on full alert to prevent these people from attacking the troops! Send two reinforced companies to confiscate everyone's firearms! "
The officer jumped out of the armored vehicle, and the two reinforced companies from the Yang Clan rushed into the crowd. If they encountered any resistance, they would fire a warning shot or use the butts of their rifles to knock people over.
"Are you the escapees from Stronghold 108?" The officer clearly knew what had happened at Stronghold 108. So when he saw the escapees, he understood what was going on.
One of the escapees answered, "Yes, we're the original residents of Stronghold 108. Sir, we'll obey the Yang Clan's commands unconditionally and wholeheartedly support the Yang Clan's occupation of Stronghold 108. But sir, can you help us clean up Stronghold 108? Let us return to our homes. "
In just a moment, these escapees had switched identities. Deep down, they did not have any sense of belonging to any organization. They would only listen to whoever was ruling.
However, the officer did not appreciate the gesture. "Return to Stronghold 108? Who knows if there are any spies among you? What if you guys cause trouble at the rear while we're fighting at Mt. Guangying? "
Then the officer said to his deputy next to him, "Leave two reinforced companies behind. Let these escapees build a refugee camp here and keep a close watch on it."
Every organization needed people. Only with people could they be productive. Otherwise, who would mine the mines? And who would be in charge of production in the factories?
Therefore, to the organizations, people were also one of their resources. Of course, they would not kill the innocent.
But before the war was over, these people could forget about leaving the refugee camp.
At this moment, the Li Consortium troops at the front line at Mt. Qingsheng had already collapsed. The Kyung Clan troops at the eastern front lines at Mt. Shuanglong, Mt. Tantou, and Mt. Fengyi had also been routed. The Li Consortium had lost the upper hand, so they could only retreat to the southernmost area and rely on their natural strongholds to defend their last bit of territory.
There, the three organizations would still have a tough battle to fight.
The Yang Clan troops continued to head south, while the two reinforced companies armed with live ammunition stayed behind to guard the refugee camp.
The reinforced company's commander said, "I'll assign you the work you need to do every day. You've already completed the required amount. If you can't complete it, don't blame me for being rude."
If they wanted to build a refugee camp, they would have to first cut down the surrounding trees and then use the wood to build the houses. The reinforced companies had brought along all the tools they needed. These two reinforced companies were part of the engineering battalion's fighting force, and they specialized in building roads for the armored troops.
Now that the Yang Clan had a smooth road ahead of them, the pressure on the engineering battalion was not as great. That was why they were able to split off the two reinforced companies to stay behind.
The Yang Clan troops were very efficient. It only took them an hour to tally up the number of people and assign tasks to everyone.
But Yan Liuyuan suddenly realized the assignment of tasks included the wounded as well. Even the wounded had to complete the workload.
Now that Ren Xiaosu had not recovered from his injuries and was still sleeping and waking up, how was he supposed to complete the workload? If Ren Xiaosu recovered from his injuries, they could easily fight their way out of the refugee camp. With Ren Xiaosu's armor, there was no way he would be afraid of these normal soldiers. But there were no ifs.
"What should we do now?" Wang Fugui looked at Ren Xiaosu, who had fainted again.
"We can only hide here for now." Yan Liuyuan said, "Fortunately, the Yang Clan won't put a bounty on our heads."
"But we still have two wounded people." Wang Fugui said, "We won't be able to complete the workload that was assigned to us."
Yan Liuyuan frowned and walked up to the reinforced company's commander. He said politely, "Sir, do you know Yang Xiaojin?"
The reinforced company's commander snapped, "Don't try to slack off by talking about some random relationship. I don't know the person you're talking about, so hurry up and get back to work. And those friends of yours who are lying on the ground, don't slack off!"
Yan Liuyuan's gaze turned cold, but he did not argue with the other party. Instead, he suddenly said, "Can I help them complete their workload?"
The company commander said, "Sure, why not? As long as you can complete it!"
