According to Yang Xiaojin, they would set off from Stronghold 88, pass through Stronghold 97, and Stronghold 99, and then arrive in the valley in the north.
In the beginning, the Soong Clan used them to plunder the traveling caravans and loot the precious resources left behind by the civilization from before The Cataclysm in the entire valley.
There were a large number of Pre-Cataclysm buildings on the surface and underground of the entire valley. Most of the things left behind were useless, but if they were found useful, they would be invaluable.
There were caravans who pretended to pass through the area. They said they were doing business, but they were actually staying in the area to mine for usable supplies and technology.
Some people tried to find some electronic equipment to unearth the technology and secrets within. But the reality was that the chaotic haze and radioactive clouds produced by The Cataclysm had destroyed all electronic equipment on the surface.
The things they found were either rusted, or even the relatively well-preserved ones could no longer be used.
At first, the Soong Clan left these caravans to their own devices. But after they finished excavating, the bandits would arrive as promised and loot them clean.
As a result, many of the bandits became stronger, and the Soong Clan also rose to prominence. They became a force to be reckoned with in the northern wastelands.
But the proper organizations generally looked down on the Soong Clan and felt that what they did was not very technical.
In order to clear their name, the Soong Clan had slowly severed their ties with the bandits in recent years. But when they tried to kill the bandits, they realized the bandits were already familiar with the terrain of the valley and were scattered in every corner of the valley. This gave the Soong Clan quite a headache.
The bandits in the entire valley were now very dissatisfied with the Soong Clan. In the past, they had paid their dues every year. But now, they were suddenly getting rid of them. They were too ruthless!
At this moment, the Soong Clan suddenly joined forces with the Yang Clan and Stronghold 178. They also wanted to borrow the bandits' power to go ashore and bid farewell to their sinful past.
As long as they killed all the bandits, everyone would naturally forget how they started their business in a hundred years.
Sister Xiaoyu said from the side, "I've also prepared some snacks for you. I heard they're the famous green bean cakes in the stronghold. Take them with you, and …"
Ren Xiaosu listened to his Sister Xiaoyu nagging beside him. Now that he was going on a long journey, he no longer needed to pack his things himself. Sister Xiaoyu would help him prepare everything.
Luo Lan leaned against the wall and watched. He suddenly interrupted, "You brought so much food? Why don't you bring me along? I'm good at fighting."
Ren Xiaosu looked at Luo Lan speechlessly. "Do you know why silent people are smarter than talkative people?"
Luo Lan was stunned. "Why?"
"Because they keep their stupid words to themselves."
Luo Lan: "…"
Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked, "Have you heard of Zong Cheng?"
"Zong Cheng?" Luo Lan recalled. "I've never heard of him. He's from the Zong clan, but we're not familiar with the Soong Clan."
"Doesn't the Kyung Clan share a border with the Soong Clan's territory in the north?" Ren Xiaosu wondered.
"The Soong Clan are a bunch of hyenas. No decent organizations are willing to deal with them. Tigers never befriend hyenas." Luo Lan said, "In any case, you have to be careful."
At this moment, the sound of a vehicle pulling up outside could be heard. Ren Xiaosu knew it was time to leave. Wang Fugui, Yan Liuyuan, and the others saw him off and reminded him to be careful.
Ren Xiaosu opened the door and came out onto the street. He happened to see Yang Xiaojin driving an off-road vehicle. Other than Yang Xiaojin, there was no one else in the vehicle. There were two military transport trucks trailing behind, and they seemed to be carrying a lot of soldiers and supplies.
"Get in the car," Yang Xiaojin said.
Ren Xiaosu turned around and instructed Yan Liuyuan, "Take care of the family while I'm away."
"OK." Yan Liuyuan nodded vigorously.
After that, Ren Xiaosu opened the door and drove off. On the way, Ren Xiaosu casually asked, "How many soldiers are in the trucks behind us?"
Yang Xiaojin looked at him. "30 nanosoldiers. They're used to suppress the bandits."
"Nanosoldiers?" Ren Xiaosu's eyes lit up, but he immediately dismissed the idea of harming this group of nanosoldiers. After all, they were here to protect Yang Xiaojin, so he couldn't do anything to them.
Thinking of this, Ren Xiaosu felt quite bad. He and Yan Liuyuan did not lack nanomachines, but Wang Yuchi and the others did.
Yang Xiaojin looked at Ren Xiaosu. "What did you say to Third Uncle? Why did his attitude suddenly change? He actually told me to get along with you. "
"Nothing much." Ren Xiaosu chuckled and said, "I said that I'm Zhang Jinglin's student. That's not wrong, is it?"
Yang Xiaojin glanced at him. "My third uncle is a person who only cares about profit. Don't be fooled by his appearance. Once he realizes you're lying to him, I'm afraid he'll immediately change his attitude."
If Yang Yu 'an found out that the "job" Ren Xiaosu mentioned was only taking over the position of the schoolteacher, his attitude would definitely change. It was not that he would immediately abandon Ren Xiaosu, but that Zong Cheng was more important than Ren Xiaosu.
But Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked, "Then what's your attitude?"
The corners of Yang Xiaojin's mouth curled up slightly. "Take a guess?"
He stepped on the accelerator and the off-road vehicle accelerated towards the northern gate of Stronghold 88. They would be meeting up with the Soong Clan there.
…
After Ren Xiaosu and the others left, Yan Liuyuan stood at the door and looked in the direction of the off-road vehicle for a long time. Sister Xiaoyu came up to him. "Don't worry, your brother's injuries have healed. He'll be fine."
"Mhm." Yan Liuyuan said, "I'm not worried about that."
"Then what are you thinking about?" Sister Xiaoyu said with a smile.
Yan Liuyuan looked at Sister Xiaoyu. "Sis, there's a parent-teacher conference at school tomorrow. Why don't you attend it on my brother's behalf?"
When Xiaoyu heard this, she was a little embarrassed. "Me? Can I? "
"You're my sister, so of course you can," Yan Liuyuan said with a smile.
Although Sister Xiaoyu had been with them for a long time, and Ren Xiaosu and Yan Liuyuan had also accepted Sister Xiaoyu from the bottom of their hearts, Sister Xiaoyu would occasionally get a little worried in the dead of the night. She did not know if she had really integrated into this family.
For something like a parent-teacher conference, only a real family could attend, right? Moreover, when Yan Liuyuan addressed her as "Sister Xiaoyu" instead of "Sis," it felt like they had gotten closer to each other.
Sister Xiaoyu asked, "Then do I need to put on some makeup?"
Back in Stronghold 113, Sister Xiaoyu's makeup was exquisite. But after she started working with Ren Xiaosu and the others, she did not have to put on makeup most of the time because she had to handle the household chores. She was always bare-faced every day.
Now that she was going to attend a parent-teacher conference for Yan Liuyuan, she could not embarrass Yan Liuyuan. She could not let Liuyuan's classmates think that his sister was a coarse woman, so she had to put on some makeup!
Yan Liuyuan looked at Sister Xiaoyu and said with a smile, "Sis, you look good even without makeup, really."
Sister Xiaoyu rolled her eyes at him. "You're such a sweet talker!"
