Chapter 108, Mixing into the barriers
The night was getting darker, since Ren Xiaosu had saved the idea of sneaking into the 109 Barrier, he started to use his crooked mind in this regard, he shouted everyone to a place and muttered in a low voice, “Do you think the idea of us mixing in the group of barriers to enter the 109 Barrier is feasible?”
“No way,” Wang Fugui shook his head and said, “Barrier people all use identity cards, we don’t have that.”
“Can’t I just say I lost it when I was fleeing?” Ren Xiaosu said curiously, “It’s normal to lose it after fleeing over a hundred kilometers and running into such a big disaster.”
Wang Fugui said, “This is not easy to say, because the information between the barriers is not shared, you say you are from barrier 113, they can’t go and ask for proof, in the past, letters were needed to travel to and from the barriers, there was an official seal of the barriers’ administrator to pass through, but now barrier 113 is gone, and it is said that old Liu, the previous administrator of barrier 113, was sent by the Qing’s consortium to the north of Sebei, the official seal is all gone. Sebei to go, the official seal do not know in the hands of who is in charge of it ……”
Ren Xiaosu smashed his mouth, “Maybe if he didn’t go to Sebei, he would have died directly in the barriers, this life ah, really how do you know what’s going on ……”
“When you say it like that, it seems like Qing’s consortium saved him,” Wang Fugui said breathlessly, “But you have to consider some other factors if you want to blend into the 109 barriers, for example, there can be more than six hundred stragglers here, and they will recognize you. And what if not a single person from the 109 Barrier is willing to let in, then by that time, all the big shots from the 113 Barrier would have to be reduced to stragglers, not to mention us.”
“That’s quite possible,” Ren Xiaosu said, “It’s quite possible that 109 Barrier won’t let anyone in.”
There was no precedent for this, no barriers had ever collapsed directly before, so Ren Xiaosu and the others didn’t have an example they could refer to, so they could only take one step at a time.
Being able to enter the barriers, of course, was a good thing.
Can’t enter the barrier, Ren Xiaosu and his group can still live well.
Only that group of big shots who escaped from the barriers would have a hard time, there are still more than a hundred kilometers away from the 109th barrier, and walking over there could exhaust them.
Then it was hard to walk to Barrier 109, but it turned out that people wouldn’t let them in, at that time, it was estimated that a lot of people were going to directly collapse.
Ren Xiaosu and the others found a windy place and prepared to rest for a while, even if Ren Xiaosu could resist, Wang Fugui and Xiaoyu couldn’t bear it anymore.
The group of stragglers who escaped came over and realized that Ren Xiaosu and the others were not leaving, so they were a bit surprised: “Why aren’t you leaving?”
Ren Xiaosu looked up at them, “I can’t walk anymore.”
After saying that, sitting on the ground, Ren Xiaosu lowered her head again to press her leg muscles.
The stragglers saw that Ren Xiaosu didn’t want to take care of them, so they all didn’t say anything, but continued to walk towards the front.
“Can’t really walk anymore or are you faking it?” Waiting to walk farther away someone wondered.
“Didn’t you see rubbing your legs there, we even rested for a while in the middle, I’m afraid they didn’t even rest, right? This is called being smart.”
“I think it’s because he was too far away just now so he didn’t hear the wolf’s voice,” someone sneered, “If he had heard it he would have run faster than us.”
The group of people whispered and left, no one even planning to tell Ren Xiaosu about the wolf behind them.
However Ren Xiaosu of course knew that there would be wolves behind her, not only wolves, but also even more terrifying experiments!
At this time Ren Xiaosu waited for them to walk away then whispered: “I have a bottle of water here, everyone take a cloth and dip it into the water to wipe their faces, those people in the barriers have clean faces, our stragglers’ faces are too dark, they can recognize them at a glance. If there are slightly better clothes also all change into them, dress up a little like the walled people.”
The stragglers lacked water, that weekday quota of water resources was no exception even for a squire’s family like Wang Fugui.
Ren Xiaosu’s bottle of water was still taken out from the palace’s stowage space, even at that time when the gold was collected, Ren Xiaosu had saved two bottles of water in it, because clean water was too important in the wilderness.
Of course, the water in here was filled in again later, the previous ones had long been finished.
The stragglers were usually used to not washing their faces, but now if they wanted to mix into the crowd of barriers, they had to disguise themselves a little bit, or else when the time came, they really had a chance to mix into 109 barriers, but because of the little details at this time they were defeated, then it would be a bad thing.
In fact, Ren Xiaosu had the opportunity to wash his face, after all, he was in the wilderness to find a water source is not particularly difficult, but the face of the dark appearance, at that time itself is a kind of protection.
If Xu Xianchu and Yang Xiaoguan saw Ren Xiaosu who had wiped his face, I’m afraid that they wouldn’t be able to recognize him if they didn’t look closely.
Before the face, is also considered to be black to a certain realm …….
Just now when the stragglers passed by Ren Xiaosu deliberately let Yan Liuyuan’s head lower, because among them only Yan Liuyuan’s face was clean and easy to be remembered.
Now after everyone wiped their faces and changed their clothes to mix into the walled crowd, it’s possible that many people won’t be able to recognize them, after all, behind them are a few thousand people, looking densely packed as if they were a sea of people.
A few people patted the ash on their bodies and wiped their faces a little cleaner, at this time, the large group of people who escaped from the barriers finally reached this side.
As a result, Ren Xiaosu froze when he saw them, the faces of this group of people, how the hell is it even blacker than he was just now ……
Crap!
Careless!
He was habitually thinking of the fact that the faces of the walled people were all white, while Yan Liu Yuan escaped all the way out white face or white face, so he didn’t realize that other people fleeing for their lives were simply not as relaxed as Yan Liu Yuan.
Only to see that the people in front of him were more wretched than one another, their faces were dark as if they had just experienced a battle.
The dust raised by the collapsed houses during the earthquake had all been smeared on their faces, and once they sweated while running away, all of their faces were black and florid!
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu and their faces were clean, as if they were the big shots in the barriers, while those in front of them were the refugees ……
The first to arrive at the barriers to see Ren Xiaosu they froze for a moment, but everyone did not say anything, at this time all fleeing for their lives who cares about other people’s faces white or not white.
Xiaoyu sister laughed out at the side, Ren Xiaosu expressionless: “Cough cough, let’s paint our faces black again ……”
It’s a pity that he has half a bottle of water ah, Ren Xiaosu has some regret in his heart.
When the large group of walled people passed by, Ren Xiaosu brought Yan Liuyuan and they managed to blend into the crowd, at this time everyone’s mood was in a state of uncertainty and confusion, and no one noticed them.
“Let’s blend in the middle of this group of people,” Ren Xiaosu lowered his voice and said, “Try to have as little contact with the stragglers as possible.”
Wang Fugui worriedly said, “Will this really work? There will definitely be stragglers who can recognize us.”
“It’s fine,” Ren Xiaosu said unconcernedly, “This is just a one time attempt, think about it, what if all those stragglers die, won’t no one know our identity ……”
Wang Fugui looked at Ren Xiaosu in shock, it can still be like this?
However, just at this moment, the front of the fleeing crowd seems to have erupted into some kind of conflict, Ren Xiaosu jumped up to take a look, as if the group of stragglers in front of them and the people in the barriers were arguing about something, and that sand and gravel quarry’s yard manager, Wang Yihang, was holding a pistol against a person’s head.
