The Pyro Company did not try to hide the news that the Experimentals were still alive in this world. Instead, they openly shared the news with Ji Yi, who then passed it on to Hope Media for publication.
The Pyro Company felt it was necessary for them to let everyone know that the culprit behind the destruction of Stronghold 74 was still alive. Furthermore, everyone had to be more careful because there were even more powerful barbarians among the Experimentals that had appeared this time.
Actually, this news was mainly shared with the Wang Clan. After all, only the Pyro Company and the Wang Clan were fighting the enemies in the North now.
Before this, the Wang Clan did not inform the Pyro Company of the impending war in advance. But this time, the Pyro Company was unusually generous in sharing the information. Jiang Xu even specially praised this kind of behavior in a new article and once again condemned the Wang Clan for keeping the secret.
However, as P5092 was no longer with them, Ren Xiaosu could not read what was written in the newspaper.
To be honest, Ren Xiaosu also felt that the Pyro Company had made the right decision this time. Just like how he wanted to remind the Pyro Company, the Pyro Company had an obligation to remind others in the face of a righteous cause.
After all, compared to the barbarians, the Experimentals were a species that wanted to kill all of humanity and turn them into gray-skinned monkeys. They were even more disgusting.
The Trinity Institute, Qinghe University students, and the Pyro Company's supply troops headed north together. The Pyro Company had finally managed to recover the damaged supplies from the forward operating base with great difficulty, but only a quarter of what they had before was left.
This made all the Pyro Company soldiers look worried, because they knew this meant that the soldiers at the front lines might not have enough to eat!
The Pyro Company's rear had to gather all the available resources as soon as possible and transport them to the front lines. Otherwise, they might collapse before the barbarians' probing attacks ended.
The Pyro Company's soldiers were indeed strong-willed. But if they did not even have enough to eat, how could they have the strength to fight?
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu and the Trinity Institute's people were sitting in the back of a military transport truck. As the vehicle passed through the bumpy mountain roads, it staggered all the way north.
It was considered preferential treatment for more than a dozen people to share a vehicle. At first, everyone thought the Pyro Company had arranged separate vehicles for them out of gratitude for treating the patients and saving lives. But when they realized the other doctors and nurses at the medical center were all squeezed into the same vehicle, they realized they were special.
Then, the members of the Trinity Institute recalled that P3 had specifically said to Ren Xiaosu before they left the forward operating base, "Sir P5 looks forward to meeting you again at the frontlines."
Everyone suddenly realized that this was a special treatment specially given to Ren Xiaosu. They were just basking in his glory.
However, the Qinghe University students were not so lucky. A large number of the trucks at the forward operating base had been destroyed. When they headed north again, they could only wait for the Pyro Company to load up the goods before sitting on top of the supplies.
The cold wind blew past the cheeks of the students who had lost all hope in life, and then drifted into the distance.
Ji Yi had also wanted to look for P3 from the forward operating base to resolve this matter. Ji Yi said in a serious tone, "These students also specially came here to deliver supplies. We've sent so many supplies and medicine, so why did they end up getting treated like this?"
However, P3 replied calmly, "On behalf of the Pyro Company, I thank everyone for donating supplies. But I don't think this will affect our battle plan. As you can see, Mr. Ji, we don't have enough vehicles."
P3 continued, "And I think it's very right for everyone to place their hopes on our Pyro Company. If the Pyro Company is destroyed, who will be able to stop the barbarians for Luoyang City? The Kong Clan? The Kong Clan is already dead in name only.
"So if the Pyro Company is gone, the entire Central Plains will have to face the expeditionary army marching straight into our territory. There's already a wave of refugees from the Kong Clan, and they want to flee further south. But if the Pyro Company is gone, it'll be useless no matter where they flee to."
Indeed, just as P3 had said, a large number of Kong Clan residents and refugees had started fleeing south.
Some of them did so because they were afraid of war, while others did not have anything to eat.
The Pyro Company had taken away all the supplies they could gather from Stronghold 31 and Stronghold 32. The stronghold residents could not buy food even if they had the money, so they could only leave the strongholds to find a way to survive.
In less than half a month, all the tree bark in Stronghold 31 and Stronghold 32 had been gnawed clean!
Ji Yi thought for a moment and said, "But we came to the North with good intentions. You can't treat a group of students like this."
P3 shook his head. "I know they had good intentions, but emotions are useless in a war. The Pyro Company only cares about the results."
This was probably the reason why many people hated the Pyro Company. The students were clearly here to deliver supplies, but they had to suffer now. However, the Pyro Company did not think they had done anything wrong.
Therefore, no matter how hard Ji Yi tried, he could not change the students' situation in the end.
In the Trinity Institute's vehicle. Due to the incident of Liang Ce carrying Meng Nan on his back and escaping, the relationship between the two of them started warming up rapidly.
As soon as they got into the vehicle, the two of them started whispering to each other. It was so sweet that the others were getting sick of it.
This incident made everyone understand what it meant to be in a favorable position to enjoy the moonlight first, to be able to see a friend in need, and to know that distant water could not quench a nearby fire.
No matter how much Meng Nan liked another person, she could not help but feel touched in times of adversity.
As they chatted, Meng Nan took the initiative to pour a bottle of hand cream on her hand when she realized there was no new breakthrough in their relationship. She took out a bottle of hand cream and poured it on her hand. However, she exclaimed, "That's too much. Liang Ce, give me your hand. I'll apply some hand cream on you too. Look at your hand, it's all wrinkled."
Then Meng Nan held Liang Ce's hand and started applying the hand cream on him. This was the first time Liang Ce was holding hands with Meng Nan. He got so excited that he decisively confessed, "Meng Nan, actually, I've always wanted to tell you that I've liked you for a long time. Ever since we interned together, I've been watching you silently. Will you be my girlfriend?"
Meng Nan was reserved for a moment. "But I'm not pretty. Look at those Qinghe University female students. They're so beautiful."
Liang Ce expressed his loyalty. "Don't worry, I like those who aren't pretty!"
Meng Nan was speechless.
Ren Xiaosu was speechless.
Yang Xiaojin was speechless.
Wang Jing was speechless.
Everyone in the vehicle was dumbfounded. They had not expected Liang Ce to give such an answer!
Meng Nan was just being reserved. If he praised her a little more and said something nice, wouldn't it be settled?
With a whoosh, Meng Nan pulled her hand back and said coldly, "In the past, I didn't have any criteria for choosing a partner. But after I met you, I told myself that I can't want someone like you!"
Ren Xiaosu sat next to Yang Xiaojin and muttered, "I'm still better than him …."
