Chapter 21, Family Status
Today’s unexpected news came one after another, making the town panic, this evening everyone did not hide at home, but all out to discuss this matter.
In fact, the factory boiler explosion is not something too serious, after all, the factory boiler because of the age of repair, the explosion is not once or twice.
However, this time was different, in the past, where would the wolves dare to loot human factories? There were thousands of workers in almost every factory, and the roads outside the market town were especially busy when the factories were off duty.
Some workers came back to the market town to live, some workers simply lived in the factory dormitory, they were working in three shifts, the factory around the clock.
Such a small human settlement near the refuge barriers, and there were wolves that dared to go there? That in itself was a mind-boggling thing.
As the mercenaries accompanying the band had said, refuge barrier 113 was located within the circle of the huge barrier group, and the circle was always relatively safe, at first the refuge barriers had even sent troops to the factory, but then after realizing that there were no wild beasts attacking the factory, they withdrew the troops, leaving only a few guns for the factory’s administrators.
At night, the gates of the Refuge Barrier suddenly opened, and the gates of that barrier let out a loud rumbling sound, followed by hundreds of soldiers with loaded guns coming out from inside.
These were the private army of the administrator of No. 113, or rather the private army of the Qing Clan consortium behind Barrier No. 113.
Mr. Zhang Jinglin of the academy had inadvertently mentioned that nowadays, the consortium was the actual controller of the refuge barriers, and that they held the lifeblood of mankind’s survival, as well as the weapons to fight against the dangers of the outside world, money in one hand and weapons in the other, firmly holding all the barriers in their own hands.
This was the first time Ren Xiaosu and Yan Liuyuan they had seen so many soldiers coming out of the refuge barriers, Yan Liuyuan hid in the shack and secretly watched these private soldiers marching towards the outside of the market town, he muttered in a low voice, “Brother, is that a gun they are carrying?”
The black guns looked cold and brutal, and Ren Xiaosu unsurprisingly found that he recognized all of them.
Moreover, he had a feeling …… that as long as he got these firearms, he would be able to use them well immediately.
These private army marching is not neat, there is a buggy to open the road, but behind some soldiers are walking in a mess, this formation can even be said to be chaotic, that private army team someone complained: “not just factory inside dead a little bit of people it, tomorrow morning and then go can not? It has to be tonight to let the wolves be killed all night long.”
“Shut up, this is a mission from above,” someone glared at him.
“What are you afraid of, the officials can’t hear you, they are still in the women’s quilt,” the man cursed and said, saying that, he lit a thin cigarette for himself, Ren Xiaosu once again smelled that strange smell of smoke.
Ren Xiaosu frowned, he was now becoming more and more distrustful of the privateers in these barriers.
At this time that smoking private army turned his head to see Ren Xiaosu and Yan Liuyuan sizing up his automatic rifle, he scolded, ”What are two fart-sized brats looking at, do you recognize what this is? Don’t look at it, you wouldn’t know how to use it even if I gave it to you.”
Ren Xiaosu put the curtain down, but he didn’t agree with the second half of the soldier’s sentence.
For some reason, he suddenly judged that the soldier’s marksmanship might not be very good, and the triangle at the other party’s right chest that was used to withstand the recoil did not form the stance of a gun that had been practiced for years.
In fact, what Ren Xiaosu didn’t know was that nowadays, hot weapons were more precious even to the refuge barriers, and the officers of the private army wouldn’t let this group of soldiers waste ammunition on weekdays. With this funding it would be better to take it to have a drink or find a woman.
Alcohol is prohibited outside the refuge barriers, but not inside.
Yan Liuyuan curiously said, “Brother, why do I see you acting as if you recognize their guns?”
Ren Xiaosu glanced at him, “Don’t ask too many questions.”
Yan Liu Yuan complained in an aggravated manner, “Do I still have any family status in this house?”
Ren Xiaosu said as if nothing had happened while thinking about things, “Don’t think too much, your status in the family is to live.”
Yan Liu Yuan: “……”
Waiting for the footsteps of those private soldiers to walk away, Ren Xiaosu suddenly stood up as he said to Yan Liuyuan, “You go to your Sister Xiaoyu’s place for a while tonight, and you’ll come back when I’m back.”
“Brother where are you going?” Yan Liu Yuan froze for a moment and asked.
As a result, just after the words were asked, Ren Xiaosu had already lifted the door curtain and went out silently, at this time the street was converging with quite a lot of people, so no one even noticed Ren Xiaosu’s whereabouts.
On weekdays, people don’t dare to go out in the dark, but today, everyone came out, as if it was New Year’s. Ren Xiaosu traveled through the darkness.
Ren Xiaosu traveled through the darkness, when he went out of the market town area, he started to run wildly, tonight’s moonlight was not bright, but Ren Xiaosu had to go out of the market town almost every day over the years, he could walk on the road here with his eyes closed!
The walled private army took the main road, while Ren Xiaosu chose a parallel path to avoid running into the private army.
He came here for no other reason than to see if there was any chance, and he couldn’t say exactly what that chance was.
Guns!
It was the gun that tempted Ren Xiaosu to come here!
Ren Xiaosu, who had gained advanced firearms skills, knew how important guns were in this day and age. The mercenaries accompanying that band had said that they had hot weapons, and that wolves would scurry away when they heard the sound of gunfire.
Ren Xiaosu, who had encountered wolves, knew how terrifying wolves were, and that something so terrifying was afraid of the sound of gunfire?
Ren Xiaosu didn’t know what would happen to the private army when they faced the wolves, and he didn’t want to get the guns in the hands of the private army, because his target was the factory, and everyone in the market town knew that the factory managers were issued with firearms in their hands.
According to the factory escaped back to the people said the factory has finished, Ren Xiaosu afternoon in doubt, not that the wolves are afraid of the sound of gunfire, that manager as long as the gun wolves will not be scared away?
Maybe they didn’t expect the wolves to come, so they didn’t have time to get their guns, maybe the gunman was attacked by the wolves, or some other reason, but the guns may still be there.
Ren Xiaosu ran with all his might, he was more familiar with this place than those private soldiers, and those private soldiers were marching on foot, but he was running.
Suddenly, a gunshot blossomed in the darkness of the night, and then there was the sound of fierce gunfire that lingered in the night sky, as well as the screams of human beings.
Ren Xiaosu turned his head openly to look at the source of the sound, this was clearly an encounter between the private army and the wolves, and there were many private army members who were still injured after the shots were fired, wasn’t it said that the wolves were afraid of the sound of gunfire? I thought wolves were afraid of the sound of gunshots? Isn’t it said that this is the instinct of wild animals to avoid danger?
To this day, Ren Xiaosu had a realization: although the beasts had evolved, they had never been able to overcome their instincts; the rabbits still ate grass, and the wolves were still afraid of the sound of gunfire.
Unless, of course, all that had changed.
