Chapter 105: The Wolves Are Coming
Some people had a lucky feeling that the human-faced bugs wouldn’t come after them, but Ren Xiaosu knew that the real danger within this disaster wasn’t necessarily the human-faced bugs.
It was important to realize that no matter if it was the experimental body or the terrifying monster in that volcano, it was an existence that Ren Xiaosu would have to run away from when she saw it.
The people who continued to flee towards the 109 barriers were about four hundred people, all of them were displaced people from the market town, Ren Xiaosu brought Sister Xiaoyu and they mixed in the crowd but never communicated with the others.
Many people recognized Ren Xiaosu, Yan Liuyuan and the others, but at this time, everyone was so focused on fleeing for their lives that no one thought about it.
“Isn’t there another factory on the way to the 109 Barrier?” Someone suddenly remembered this.
“Yeah, there’s a sand yard there, and I’ve even gone there to do some work,” said a young man.
“How many people were in the factory?”
“About two hundred or so, the sand field is dug up by machines on weekdays, so it doesn’t take too many people, but they have vegetable gardens and stuff planted over there, can’t we find something to eat there at night?” Someone asked, this escaping for a while everyone was a bit hungry.
“Now that the barriers are gone, can’t we turn back and find a pig farm to kill some pigs for dinner?” A Han said, “No one cares anyway.”
“I also don’t know if the women in the barriers are all that good looking,” someone else chimed in, “I’ve seen that Luo Xinyu, she’s especially good looking, now that the barriers have fallen hard ……”
Ren Xiaosu glanced at them, these people probably felt that they were no longer in danger, so their mood relaxed a bit.
As for those who died, it actually didn’t make their moods much heavier.
Most of the market town stragglers were thin-skinned, and it was good enough for them to be on guard against each other not to victimize others on a regular basis, so they really didn’t have much to be sad about when the others died.
The deaths of the big names in the barriers wouldn’t even make them sad, and they would even gloat a little inside.
Only a few who had just lost their loved ones would look downcast at this time.
A small half of these four hundred or so people were women, and they looked warily at the hanyou around them, some of the women had just lost their men, and they knew all too well what dangers a woman would face at a time like this.
“Xiaosu, are we going to take a break at that sandstone quarry?” Sister Xiaoyu asked worriedly.
“No,” Ren Xiaosu shook her head, “We have to stay away from them when we rest at night, firstly, the danger will definitely focus on the biggest group of people when it comes, and secondly, these people may also turn out to be a new danger.”
Sister Jade was a little more relieved, “Well, we brought food, so we don’t have to worry too much about food. I know these people in the market town too well, they can do anything.”
“Well, of course there’s no need to worry too much, this is just a bunch of rabble,” Ren Xiaosu nodded as he looked towards Yan Liuyuan, “Hide the guns.”
Ren Xiaosu had fired his gun when he killed the stalkers in the market town, even if it was chaotic in the market town at that time, there must have been a lot of people who noticed.
He wasn’t worried that this group of rabble would hit a few people on his side in person, but he still had to be careful of what small moves the other side would make behind his back.
“I’m afraid that the people on the sand field’s side still don’t know what happened in the market town, they should have only felt a strong earthquake, but they don’t know that the barriers are all gone,” Ren Xiaosu said.
The center of this earthquake was inside the Realm Mountain, with the Realm Mountain as the round point radiating outwards for hundreds of kilometers, Ren Xiaosu wondered, if barrier 113 had been shaken like this, then had barrier 112 also collapsed?
After all, 113 and 112 were about the same distance from Realm Mountain.
The fleeing team arrived at the sandstone quarry in the afternoon, and it turned out that the factory buildings and workers’ dormitories on this side had also collapsed, and a large group of sandstone quarry workers were driving excavators to pick apart the ruins of the factory buildings.
The workers of the sand and gravel quarry were a bit puzzled when they saw such a large group of people coming over, but when they heard the bad news that the barriers had been broken, they didn’t know what to do at that time.
Even the barriers were gone, why would they rebuild the sand and gravel quarry?
Most of the people sat on the ground, they really couldn’t walk anymore, and planned to rest for the night on this side of the sandstone quarry, it just so happened that there was food here as well.
Some people wanted to go with Ren Xiaosu, but when they saw that most of the people stayed behind, they didn’t continue to follow, after all, it’s safer to stay with the big group.
Nowadays, this group of people, together with the workers from the sandstone quarry, amounted to more than six hundred people.
Ren Xiaosu did not care about these, but glanced at the sky and took Yan Liuyuan and they continued to move forward, now the time from darkness is afraid there are still two or three hours, enough for them to walk to a farther place.
Wang Dalong complained on the way, “Can’t we rest for a while?”
As a result, before Ren Xiaosu could say anything, Wang Fugui first slapped Wang Dalong on the back of his head, “If I tell you to go, you go, what’s the point!”
Wang Fugui smiled at Ren Xiaosu, “A child doesn’t know better, don’t mind.”
“It’s fine,” Ren Xiaosu shook his head, Wang Fugui’s affection towards himself and Yan Liuyuan was something he had to remember, so like Wang Dalong complaining a sentence or two he wouldn’t even put it on his mind.
It was that if Wang Dalong spoke any more out of turn, Ren Xiaosu would take Wang Fugui to Barrier 109.
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment and added, “We’ll walk for a while longer and find a place to rest, but each of you must seriously rub your muscles loose before you can rest completely, otherwise none of you will be able to make the journey tomorrow, and you won’t be able to run away when you encounter danger.”
This was Ren Xiaosu’s experience of surviving in the wilderness for many years.
At this time, those people who originally traveled with Ren Xiaosu sat on the ground and watched Ren Xiaosu as they continued to go far away, and someone laughed, “This Ren Xiaosu isn’t afraid of tiring out those people around him?”
“Wang Fugui looks quite smart, and usually has quite a high status in the market town, but as a result, he’s now following behind the asses of a few brats,” someone said disdainfully, “At first, I saw him walking in such a hurry so I followed him, thinking that there would still be some dangers behind him, but as a result, there’s now no hair behind him! ”
“Wang Fugui must be carrying a lot of money on his body, right ……” a man with a shadowy expression whispered, “He has opened a grocery store in the market town for so many years, after escaping, surely all the belongings are on his body. ”
“And that Li Xiaoyu ……”
“Don’t think about it,” someone sneered, “Ren Xiaosu and Yan Liuyuan both have guns on them, can you not know about this?”
“What are you afraid of, there are so many of us?” Someone was unconvinced, “So many people are still afraid of a gun? How many bullets does he have?”
“Oh, so you go first?”
No one said anything once this came out, although Ren Xiaosu’s bullets were limited, but they only had one life, whoever rushed up first would die first.
Ren Xiaosu’s evaluation of them was not wrong at all: a rabble.
Someone waved his hand, “Don’t even talk about useless things, let’s rest here for the night and continue tomorrow.”
However, when night fell, they suddenly heard a wolf howl in the distance rising up to the sky, all the people sitting on the ground to rest immediately stood up, looking at the direction of the wolf howl with a face of fear.
They knew how terrifying the wolves were, but they didn’t expect that the wolves had even arrived over here!
Listening to the sound, the wolves were at most three or five kilometers away from them!
“Run, run, run, I didn’t think there was really any danger!”
“I should have known to follow Ren Xiaosu, grass!”
This group of people suddenly regretted a little bit, but just as they stood up and prepared to run for their lives, they realized that their legs were as heavy as if they were filled with lead! Their bodies were aching all over!
