The dense forest looked very eerie. No one had dared to enter last night, but they did not encounter any danger the entire morning.
There was only a wild boar that could pose a threat to everyone, but it had crashed into a tree and died.
Ren Xiaosu wanted to see if there were any large ferocious beasts' feces along the way, but he found nothing.
However, Ren Xiaosu did not let his guard down. This was because he still did not understand how the fish meat, bones, and Xu Xia's corpse had disappeared.
Everyone found a small clearing in the forest and picked up a lot of firewood, planning to set up camp there. No one had slept the previous night, so they had to rest early today. Otherwise, no one would be able to hold on for much longer.
Xu Xianchu was using a military knife to dissect the pork, and the smell of blood permeated the clearing. Ren Xiaosu reminded, "Don't try to keep something you can't finish for tomorrow. Most of the dangers in the wilderness are attracted by the smell of blood."
Saying that, Ren Xiaosu pointed to his feet. There were already swarms of black ants coming over. These ants were each the size of a fingernail and looked extremely terrifying. "During the day, they won't attack you when you're moving around. They're just looking for food and the source of the smell of blood. But at night, you'll become their food if you sleep in the vicinity of the smell of blood. They just need to bite you once, and the formic acid they secrete will make you feel so much pain that you'll wish you were dead. "
Xu Xianchu nodded. "Got it. Thank you for the reminder."
"Gratitude received from Xu Xianchu, + 1!"
Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment. This Xu Xianchu was quite sincere.
At noon, everyone held the roasted pork and ate heartily. They were really starving. While Ren Xiaosu was eating the meat, Luo Xinyu actually sat down next to Ren Xiaosu.
Luo Xinyu said innocently, "I feel that you're having a good time in the wilderness. It looks very romantic."
Ren Xiaosu shook his head and said, "This is survival. It's not romantic at all."
In the wilderness, Ren Xiaosu had never heard of the word romance. The things that happened in the wilderness could never be associated with the word romance.
Sometimes, Ren Xiaosu felt there was a huge gap between the mindset of a refugee and the people in the stronghold.
Luo Xinyu ignored Ren Xiaosu's rebuttal and suddenly said to Ren Xiaosu, "Do you know that you are very charming?"
Ren Xiaosu frowned. Was it because he was rebuffed by Xu Xianchu that he came to look for him?
He pretended not to hear it, but Luo Xinyu sat beside him and refused to leave.
In fact, Luo Xinyu had her own plans. At least she wouldn't starve if she followed Ren Xiaosu here.
Others might not have noticed it, but Luo Xinyu had already noticed that Ren Xiaosu was definitely not an ordinary person. How could an ordinary teenager carry a normal adult man and escape? Perhaps even Xu Xianchu's main body did not have this ability.
Therefore, Luo Xinyu thought that young men were most likely to be impulsive when they were young and ignorant. This was probably the same whether it was in town or in the stronghold.
She just needed to show some goodwill to this young man named Ren Xiaosu, and he would definitely go through fire and water for her. Actually, she wouldn't really mind letting Ren Xiaosu take advantage of her.
Did such things not happen often in the stronghold? Not at all.
To put it bluntly, she lacked a sense of security and wanted to find someone she could make use of.
Actually, Luo Xinyu could also show goodwill to Xu Xianchu. But during the journey before this, Luo Xinyu had tried to chat with Xu Xianchu more than once. However, she was always rebuffed.
Luo Xinyu's impression of Xu Xianchu was that he was a relatively strong-minded adult who knew what he wanted. If there was any danger, Xu Xianchu might abandon her at any time.
As for Liu Bu, needless to say, he was a good-for-nothing.
Moreover, she could tell that Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin might have formed a temporary alliance. Roping in Ren Xiaosu was equivalent to roping in Yang Xiaojin.
A lot of people thought Yang Xiaojin was her assistant, but in fact, Yang Xiaojin did not have an employer-employee relationship with her. Instead, it was Yang Xiaojin who gave Liu Bu a sum of money and said she wanted to go to Stronghold 112 on the way.
Luo Xinyu did not know Yang Xiaojin's identity. She only heard from Liu Bu that Yang Xiaojin was a normal little girl who wanted to go to Stronghold 112 to look for her relatives.
But after entering the wilderness, Luo Xinyu slowly realized Yang Xiaojin was gradually getting out of control. Moreover, when Yang Xiaojin took out a gun and pointed it at Ren Xiaosu, she knew she could not possibly be a normal little girl.
Right now, Luo Xinyu was thinking of joining this alliance and forming a small group with Yang Xiaojin and Ren Xiaosu.
In her opinion, how could a refugee who had never seen the world like Ren Xiaosu resist her temptation?
In fact, Luo Xinyu and Liu Bu had a deep-seated arrogance when facing the refugees. They felt that the refugees were just appendages to the stronghold and were not people but objects.
Ren Xiaosu deliberated over his tone and said to Luo Xinyu, "Big Sis, stay away from me."
Luo Xinyu decided to be more direct. She smiled and said, "Maybe there was some misunderstanding on the way here. Actually, I —"
Ren Xiaosu was stunned. "What's the matter with you?"
Luo Xinyu got closer to Ren Xiaosu and whispered to him. Her body was almost pressed up against Ren Xiaosu's arm. She exhaled and said, "I like you."
Ren Xiaosu's expression changed drastically. "Watch your mouth!"
Luo Xinyu was speechless.
Pfft! Yang Xiaojin, who was drinking from a bottle of water off to the side, spat out the water in her mouth. She seemed to have realized her reaction was a little off, so she quickly pretended as if nothing had happened.
Meanwhile, Luo Xinyu had never expected Ren Xiaosu to have such a reaction! Was that a normal person's reaction? Whose mouth was not clean?!
You must be crazy!
At this moment, Luo Xinyu started to wonder if she had made the wrong decision.
Actually, what Luo Xinyu did not know was that Ren Xiaosu had seen a lot of so-called seduction in town. Ever since he was old enough to hunt, countless women had tried to get close to him. This was also the reason why Yan Liuyuan was very wary of his Sister Xiaoyu at the beginning.
Therefore, Luo Xinyu felt that he might not have seen the world. But in fact, Ren Xiaosu was afraid that she would be frightened if he told her what he had seen.
Ren Xiaosu sneered in his mind. He wouldn't even want a woman like Luo Xinyu for free. What a waste of food!
In the past, he had thought that the stronghold was filled with smart people. After all, Mr. Zhang had mentioned that most of the books were kept in the stronghold. Therefore, Ren Xiaosu felt that the more books a person read, the smarter they should be.
However, Liu Bu and Luo Xinyu had really refreshed his understanding of the world.
Of course, there were also smart people in the stronghold, such as the two officers, Wang Congyang and Xu Xianchu.
Luo Xinyu calmed down. "Help me get out of here and back to Stronghold 113. I'll fight for three spots to enter the stronghold for you."
Ren Xiaosu got up and left. "Who are you trying to flatter? You're making it sound like you're the one in charge in the stronghold. "
Ren Xiaosu was not stupid. He felt that if he used the Skill Duplication Scroll on Luo Xinyu, he might even get an advanced bragging skill.
