Chapter 262, Leading the team out of trouble

After waiting for Tang Wanye and the others to leave, Ren Xiaosu turned back to look at all the people in the private force and said, “By a fluke, I became the battalion commander of this Iron Second Battalion, there’s no need to say some false words, some of you may know my skills, I’m the most skilled at surviving in this wilderness, you will never starve to death if you follow me and you won’t die an unknown death at the hands of a plant! ”

Everyone looked at each other in dismay, this Ren Xiaosu boasted about this as soon as he took office? Everyone knew that Ren Xiaosu was just an ordinary soldier before, now the leap was too big, everyone was a bit unable to accept it.

Of course, no one dared to refute, before Ren Xiaosu dragged people in the snow that scene, everyone still remember, everyone in their hearts have an impression of Ren Xiaosu: this is a ruthless person.

However, ruthless is ruthless, but they don’t believe what Ren Xiaosu said.

Everyone had been starving for days, and with the threat of thorns and vines outside, some people felt that Ren Xiaosu being the battalion commander at this time was no different from asking for trouble.

Someone inside the reinforcement company couldn’t help but ask in a cold voice: ”Since you said so, then everyone has been starving for days, how are you going to help us find food now? We’ll believe you if you can take us out of here alive and find food.”

The people in this reinforced company were originally Liu Taiyu’s close friends, and the sudden change in leadership would definitely make the reinforced company a bit uncomfortable.

But whoever is the leader is when, as long as the ability is strong enough.

Someone concurred, “Yes, now we don’t dare to go forward, what if we run into that plant again?”

When Ren Xiaosu heard this, he impassionedly said, “Since I dare to promise everyone, then I can definitely lead everyone to walk out, in this way, I will walk in the front, you guys will follow at the back, as long as I didn’t have any accidents, then you guys won’t have any accidents at the back, right?”

As soon as everyone heard this they were dumbfounded, Ren Xiaosu was going to explore the road with his own body ah, some of them were immediately touched inwardly, they didn’t expect this Ren Xiaosu to be so courageous!

If they walk on the road really have terrible plants, then walk in front of Ren Xiaosu certainly the first to suffer, if Liu Taiyu awake, I’m afraid that will order other people to take life to explore the road, will not be like Ren Xiaosu so lead by example!

Although everyone does not believe that this wasteland can still have this kind of good man, but this good man is not living in front of it.

Ren Xiaosu righteously said: “Everyone hurry up and pack your bags and tents, we will leave in an hour, I will walk in front, you follow behind! I’ll lead you guys to find food!”

The private troops were all stragglers and not very educated, history had long proven that the lower the level of education, the less likely it was for people to question the people and things around them, and it was especially easy for them to follow blindly once they were in a group.

How could they have ever imagined that this plant could have been raised by Ren Xiaosu ……?

If the others went forward, they might really get into trouble, but Ren Xiaosu would be 100% fine.

After the team set off, Ren Xiaosu led the team towards the north, he avoided all the thorn vines, some of them suddenly drilled out of the snow and flared their teeth and claws at Ren Xiaosu, however, Ren Xiaosu just stood outside the range of its attack.

In the eyes of the private troopers, Ren Xiaosu was like a god’s help!

Someone exclaimed in the back to be careful, while Ren Xiaosu turned back to the others with a face full of compassion, “In order to bring you guys out of a living path, what’s the small sacrifice of me alone?”

Ren Xiaosu felt that he was very great, that he could lead this private army out of the predicament that he had set himself!

Someone behind Ren Xiaosu burst into tears, “Thank you battalion commander!”

“Thank you battalion commander!”

Ren Xiaosu continued to walk forward, counting the thank you coins as he walked, well, he harvested a few more thank you coins, dozens of people said thank you, but it turned out that only a few of them were sincere.

Someone in the reinforcement company whispered, “Looks like there’s some skill, and it’s not bad to follow a good officer in this world.”

The company commander calmly said, “Let’s look at the situation again, just leading us out is nothing, I’ll only convince him if he can lead us to find some more food.”

In fact, Ren Xiaosu had no intention of letting these people convince themselves, it didn’t matter if they convinced him or not, it was most important to be able to follow him to the designated location that he had discussed with Tang Zhou.

These people behind him were insincere when they said they were thankful, they had helped them think of a way to mix into the forward base for dinner before, but as a result, they were sold in a minute, and Chen Wuxi was said to be a fool for helping people with good intentions.

Ren Xiaosu did not sympathize with these people, nor did he intend to become truly good comrades with them.

At this time, they had already left the area where the thorn vines were planted, Ren Xiaosu turned back to everyone and said, “That thorns should only be growing in a small area, there’s no need to worry about them now.”

Everyone was relieved when they heard this, and someone said, “Let’s take a rest then?”

With that said, several people were planning to sit directly on the snow, private forces were just so lazy.

However, they heard Ren Xiaosu continue, “We can’t rest right now, I promised to bring you guys to find food, so let’s get through the difficulties in front of us first! Moreover, I’ve already thought of a good way!”

Upon hearing that there was food, everyone was instantly excited, even the food of the reinforced company had been cut off for a day, and everyone was starving.

Ren Xiaosu walked towards the mountain, before he took two steps, he saw a big tree with a hole high up, he climbed up the tree directly and reached out to dig into the hole.

All the people are puzzled Ren Xiaosu this is doing, the result only see Ren Xiaosu hand shrink back, a squirrel hastily escaped out, and Ren Xiaosu hand is grasping a large handful of pine nuts and they have not seen the dried fruit!

Ren Xiaosu laughed, ”Everyone look for tree holes like this, it should allow everyone to pad their stomachs first. If you find caverns and rock crevices you have to give me a word, there’s our dinner for today!”

“What’s inside the caverns?” Someone asked curiously.

Ren Xiaosu jumped down from the tree and said while stuffing a pine nut into his mouth, “In winter, snakes will start hibernating after storing enough fat, at this time they are defenseless against humans, and they especially like to live in groups, if you find a cavern, you will basically be able to find a nest of snakes, at night, we will eat roasted snake meat!”

The southwestern region is especially rich in snakes, insects and venomous ants, when Ren Xiaosu entered the wilderness before, he was extra vigilant about this.

However, during hibernation most of the snakes became delicacies, and snakes especially liked to live in groups when hibernating, on the one hand to huddle together for warmth, and on the other hand to minimize the loss of water.

A third of the snakes that don’t hibernate in groups don’t survive the winter.

So in winter, some bold stragglers will go into the mountains to look for snake nests, and if they find one, it’s a big harvest, and the whole winter will be a little bit better.

And Ren Xiaosu, is the group of stragglers in the most courageous one.
