The next morning, Han Xiao woke up and felt relaxed. His exhaustion from the escape had been swept away.
"Brother Han, you are awake." Hu Hongjun was stretching his body at the door and said with a smile.
This family was really warm. They gave him food and a place to stay. Although he was reluctant to leave, Han Xiao still expressed his intention.
"Thank you for your hospitality. Unfortunately, I can't stay for long. If there is a chance, I will repay you."
Ann came over with a small package and said with a smile, "I made some pancakes. You can eat them on the way."
Han Xiaoxin felt warm in his heart. He took the package with both hands. The warmth of the pancakes passed through his palms and into his heart. He smiled and then realized that Ann couldn't see. He said sincerely, "I slept very well last night. Thank you very much for your hospitality."
Ann covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Haha, you are welcome. We are all brothers." Hu Hongjun said proudly.
Han Xiao packed his luggage and put on his backpack and animal skin package. Suddenly, he noticed that the leaves in the package were gone. His face sank and said, "Someone touched my package."
Hu Hongjun was shocked, "No way, Ann and I didn't … Wait, Hu Fei, get out here!"
Hu Fei, who had been eavesdropping behind the tent, shuddered and walked out dejectedly.
Han Xiao's eyes flashed and said with a smile, "It's you again."
Hu Fei shrunk his neck and didn't dare to look at Han Xiao. Hu Hongjun kicked his butt and said, "Did you steal someone's stuff? Take it out now!"
Hu Fei bit his lips and reluctantly took out a Type 73 WASP and gave it to Han Xiao.
"Brother Han, beat him as much as you want. This kid is asking for it." Hu Hongjun began to think about how to beat his nephew later.
"No need. Just take it back. It will be dangerous for you to keep it." Han Xiao took back the pistol and breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't care about his equipment. He was just worried that if he left the weapon behind, it would cause trouble for the settlement. Hu Hongjun had treated him well for the whole night, so he naturally couldn't leave behind a source of trouble.
Hu Fei curled his lips in disapproval. He felt that Han Xiao was stingy. He clearly had so many guns, but he was reluctant to part with a single one.
"It's a small world, we'll meet again if fate wills it. Goodbye." Han Xiao formally bid farewell.
Hu Hongjun nodded. "Be careful."
Han Xiao picked up his backpack and left.
There was a saying that when receiving a drop of water from someone, one should naturally repay it. If there was a chance in the future, Han Xiao would definitely repay the favor of sending charcoal in snowy weather for one night.
"That savage is finally gone." Hu Fei wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Then, he was delighted. Hehe, fortunately, that guy didn't find out that I stole two guns.
Hu Fei got rid of Hu Hongjun's scolding and returned to the back of the tent. He took out another Type 73 WASP pistol from the box and played with it. He made up his mind that even if Han Xiao came back to denounce him, he would not admit to it and would not return it no matter what.
But why didn't this gun have a trigger?
…
The map drawn by the rogue was like a child's doodle for fun. However, it indicated the current location, which was enough for Han Xiao. He remembered the complete Blue Star map.
He was currently in Stardragon. According to the map, he would be able to walk out of the forest in three days and find the railway. At that time, he would be able to hitch a ride to the city.
At noon, Han Xiao found a place to eat something to replenish his stamina. He glanced at the animal skin bag that had a few holes made by thorns and branches.
Han Xiao opened the animal skin bag and was about to put the guns one by one into his backpack when he suddenly stopped.
"It seems that one gun is missing …"
He counted again. It was not an illusion.
Han Xiao's heart sank. If the gun was left in the settlement, it would be terrible!
Han Xiao did not have time to eat. He hurriedly packed up his things and strode back to where he came from.
…
Two black bulletproof armored vehicles came to the rogue settlement. No. 1 led a fully armed test subject team and used the muzzle to force all the rogues to gather in the square and squat together with their hands on their heads.
All the rogues recognized the Germinal Organization's insignia, and they were all terrified.
"Have you seen this person before?"
No. 1 pressed the terminal on his palm, and a virtual image appeared in the air. It was a picture of Han Xiao.
"No, I haven't."
Everyone denied it at once.
Everyone knew the Germinal Organization's way of doing things. As long as they were not involved, they would not attack the rogues.
The Six Nations and the Germinal Organization were on opposite sides, and the Rogues were the indecisive ones in the middle. They usually remained neutral, but they could also side with either side. Thus, the Six Nations and the Germinal Organization had a rule against using force against the Rogues.
Only Hu Fei trembled. Guilt was written all over his face.
No. 1 was frustrated. He had tracked Han Xiao for seven days and only found this settlement. However, no one had seen Han Xiao before. This meant that he was going in the wrong direction.
"Let's go!" No. 1 snorted. He was about to lead the team into the vehicle when he suddenly noticed Hu Fei's expression.
Suspicion rose in Number One's heart. He stopped and shouted, "Catch that brat!"
Hu Fei was shocked. He was dragged out of the crowd by the test subjects. He trembled like a quail.
No. 1 squinted and asked, "Do you know the person in the picture?"
Hu Fei shook his head. "No, I don't."
No. 1 saw that Hu Fei's waist was bulging with something hard. He shouted, "Search him!"
Hu Fei was pushed to the ground and watched as the Type 73 WASP was found.
"This is our gun!" No. 1's face turned cold. He pointed the gun at the crowd and said angrily, "No. 0 has been here before. How dare you hide it? Do you want to die?"
"Speak! Where did he go! "
The deterrence of the gun made the rogues restless. They all looked at the bearded Carroll who was the first to come in contact with Han Xiao.
Carroll was like an ostrich hiding in the corner. He was anxious when he saw the situation. "Why are you looking at me? I just sold him something. That's why Hu Hongjun knew about that guy's whereabouts!"
The people around Hu Hongjun immediately scattered as if avoiding the plague.
Hu Hongjun saw that the situation had reached this point. He could only slowly stand up and said, "I don't know."
Carroll was anxious to clear his name. He immediately retorted, "How can you not know? You helped him and even hosted him for a night!"
No. 1's face suddenly turned cold.
The rogues were frightened. They all urged Hu Hongjun.
"Hurry up and tell us what you know!"
"Do you want to kill us for an outsider?"
Hu Hongjun scolded Carroll in his heart. He took a deep breath and made up his mind. He pointed in a direction and said, "That guy went that way."
"Very good. You are very tactful." No. 1 smiled and shot without warning.
"Bang!"
A bloody hole appeared on Hu Hongjun's forehead. His face froze. He was shocked. His body swayed and suddenly fell to the ground. A pool of blood expanded under his body.
Hu Fei screamed and looked at Hu Hongjun's body in horror.
He … he died just like that?!
No. 1's face was as usual. It was as if he had just killed a chicken. The rogues' concealment made him very angry. Especially after he heard that Hu Hongjun hosted Han Xiao, he immediately wanted to kill him.
As long as someone had a little relationship with Han Xiao, No. 1 didn't mind sending them to hell to repent.
"Old Hu?" Ann noticed something. Her face was pale. She stood up shakily and followed the sound to her husband. She staggered and stumbled.
No. 1 took out his pistol and shot Ann's head from far away.
Half of the back of her head was blown up by the bullet. Her brain and blood spilled all over the ground. Ann fell on the ground. She was only an arm's length away from Hu Hongjun. Her lifeless eyes were dyed red by the splashing blood.
No. 1 glanced at the corpse and sneered.
"Courting death."
Hu Fei broke down. He collapsed on the ground and cried.
He regretted it very much. In a moment of greed, he killed his uncle's family.
The rogues were angry, but they didn't dare to say anything. Looking at Hu Hongjun and Ann's bodies, they felt sorry for them.
The handheld terminal was connected to the surveillance screen of the Germinal Organization leader. The leader shouted, "What are you doing? Who told you to kill people?! "
No. 1 hurriedly admitted his mistake. "These rogues didn't report it. I just wanted to show my power. We'll leave immediately."
The leader shook his head and said, "Forget it. Since we've already killed them, let's do it cleanly. Don't let the news spread."
No. 1 nodded. His face turned cold, and he made a hand gesture.
The continuous gunshots startled countless birds in the forest.
…
The dusk was like blood. Han Xiao rushed and finally returned to the settlement before the sky turned dark. From afar, he could smell the pungent smell of blood. His heart sank immediately.
"I'm late."
The noisy settlement was dead silent. What entered their eyes was the scene of a massacre. There were bloodstains everywhere, and the ground under their feet was soaked in blood. It was wet and sticky, and every step they took left a bloody footprint.
Han Xiao saw the tragic deaths of Hu Hongjun and Ann. His eyes narrowed, and anger rose in his heart.
At this time, a figure climbed up from the ground. Han Xiao recognized it as the bearded merchant who had extorted a large sum of money from him.
Carroll was still in a state of shock. He had fainted when the massacre started, but he was lucky enough to escape with his life. Before he had the time to rejoice, he saw Han Xiao standing at the side looking at him, and his body started to tremble like a sieve.
Han Xiao rushed forward and grabbed Carroll's collar. "What happened here?"
"The Germinal Organization! It was the Germinal Organization! We didn't reveal your whereabouts, so they killed people to vent their anger. Our people died so miserably. Seeing that Hu Hongjun treated you well, you have to avenge us! "
