Because of their preconceived notions, this group of people did not actually believe that Ren Xiaosu was the only doctor in town. When they first met Ren Xiaosu, he was still living in a shack. But after not seeing him for a few days, he had already become a doctor?
If he really had medical skills, why didn't he do it earlier?
Everyone was just panicking at this moment. There was an old saying that perfectly described the current situation: "Desperate times call for desperate measures."
But Ren Xiaosu's reaction really stunned them. What the hell was a witch doctor?
"Get up." Liu Bu shooed Ren Xiaosu aside before going up to the injured driver and asking about his well-being. "Are you alright? Does it hurt?"
Ren Xiaosu looked around. Originally, there were five off-road vehicles and one pickup truck, totaling six vehicles. But now, there were only four of them left.
It looked like it would be very difficult to repair the two damaged vehicles. However, as Ren Xiaosu did not know much about cars, he would have to wait and see what the soldiers had to say.
Xu Xianchu led his men to check on the vehicle. The one that had been knocked over by the giant deer was definitely beyond repair. There were even several holes in the engine.
However, the giant deer was not unscathed either. Ren Xiaosu saw a small segment of the antler on the ground. It looked like it had been broken off.
Liu Bu went over to Xu Xianchu and asked, "Can it be repaired?"
"We'll have to take a look at the one that was knocked over first." Xu Xianchu inspected the vehicle and said, "That one definitely can't be repaired. The one that crashed into the tree wasn't going very fast, so the damage wasn't too serious. We can only dismantle the parts of that vehicle and repair it to make another one that can be driven."
"We can only repair one vehicle?!" Liu Bu was taken aback. "Then what should we do? There are so many of us here!"
Xu Xianchu thought for a moment and said, "Someone can still sit in the back of the pickup truck …."
Ren Xiaosu raised his hand. "I'll go!"
"Go to hell," Liu Bu snapped.
At this moment, Liu Bu would rather go to the back of the pickup truck himself than let Ren Xiaosu sit in it!
Xu Xianchu and his men hurriedly took out some tools to repair the vehicles. During this time, Xu Xianchu frowned and ordered the soldiers under him, "Guard the surroundings. If any unknown creatures approach, immediately shoot and kill them."
The bureaucracy in the private army might be a little more intense, but Xu Xianchu did not look like a fool. If he did not keep his guard up at this time, it would be too late. If a giant creature approached while he was repairing the vehicles, a lot of people would probably die.
Ren Xiaosu had been squatting by the side of the vehicle as he watched the private troops repair it. He wanted to understand the principles behind the vehicle. He had always been a very studious person, and a "large machine" like an off-road vehicle had a unique beauty in his eyes.
The restart of civilization represented the crystallization of human civilization.
Next to him, Liu Bu crossed his arms and sneered, "Can you understand it?"
Ren Xiaosu turned around and asked, "I don't understand. Can you?"
Liu Bu was taken aback. Actually, he did not understand it either.
"See, I don't understand it either, and neither do you." Ren Xiaosu said leisurely, "Then why are you talking so much nonsense?"
After that, Ren Xiaosu ignored him. The repair went on from morning to afternoon. Meanwhile, Liu Bu and the others were discussing how to distribute the vehicles from now on, as well as their usual defensive duties.
Some people suggested that they should just shoot at the creature if they saw it in the future. Others wondered what they would do if they startled the creature by shooting. With the size of the giant deer, they might not even be able to penetrate its skull with a shot unless they aimed at its eyes. But who here had the marksmanship to do that?
At the very least, they would need to be able to hit a moving target with a nine-point accuracy, right?
Ren Xiaosu thought to himself, 'It looks like these people don't know that Yang Xiaojin is a Perfect Firearms Proficiency Master. Can others do it?' Ren Xiaosu was 60% confident that he could hit the giant deer in the eye with a pistol from 50 meters away. Therefore, he felt that Yang Xiaojin was 90% or even 100% confident that she could do it!
Ren Xiaosu secretly observed Yang Xiaojin's reaction. However, when the others were discussing how to deal with the wild animals, she did not say a word. It was as though it had nothing to do with her.
However, everyone was a little comforted by the fact that the giant deer still did not eat meat. If that giant deer had come for food, at least three or four people in the group would have died.
Xu Xianchu said, "Most of the creatures in the forest are large herbivores. Otherwise, they would have been targeted for extermination when the stronghold perimeter was first established. If we encounter such creatures again, we should be more vigilant and not startle them. If we encounter a carnivore, just shoot at it. Alright, the truck's been repaired. Let's get ready to set off. "
Liu Bu said, "We're missing a vehicle, so we'll have to rearrange the crew." He said to a band member, "Xu Xia, you and Cheng Donghang will go and sit in the back of the pickup truck. You'll have to bear with it for now."
The two band members, Xu Xia and Cheng Donghang, looked at Ren Xiaosu resentfully. They could have let Ren Xiaosu sit in the pickup truck, but because Liu Bu was worried that Ren Xiaosu would finish all the biscuits, they could only let their own people watch over him.
Xu Xia and Cheng Donghang slowly crawled into the back of the pickup truck. Suddenly, Xu Xia screamed and fell out of the back of the pickup truck. Ren Xiaosu looked over in shock and saw Xu Xia wailing as he clutched his neck.
Xu Xia's face was already red and swollen. It was as though he was experiencing the greatest pain he had ever experienced in his life. In just over ten seconds, before anyone could react, he was already lying motionless on the ground. He was foaming at the mouth, and his face had quickly turned purple.
Xu Xianchu cautiously approached with his gun in hand. After making sure there were no abnormalities nearby, he reached out to check Xu Xia's breathing. He turned around and said solemnly, "He's not breathing."
Everyone was stunned. How did a person who was perfectly fine just a moment ago die just like that?
Liu Bu asked Cheng Donghang in a trembling voice, "What happened?"
Cheng Donghang leaned against the back of the pickup truck and said in horror, "I don't know either. We got into the truck together, but he suddenly screamed and scared me out of my wits. I didn't see anything strange either."
The rustling sounds in the forest became strange. The trees were still the same, but everyone's mood had changed.
This was the first time someone had died during their trip. Liu Bu roared at Ren Xiaosu, "What kind of direction are you leading us on? Why didn't we encounter something like this the last time? Is there something wrong with the route you're leading us on? "
"There's nothing wrong with the route I'm leading." Ren Xiaosu looked at Liu Bu calmly. "But even if you're in the stronghold, you should understand that the wilderness is getting stranger and stranger. I don't know why you're going to Jing Mountain, but I advise you to turn around and head back to Stronghold 113 immediately."
"No." Xu Xianchu said coldly, "We've received a death order this time. If we don't complete the mission, we won't be able to go back. Don't even think about going back!"
Ren Xiaosu thought something was wrong. It was just a mission, so it was impossible for Xu Xianchu to risk his life to complete it. There must be some other reason!
