202 The Li Consortiums army (1/2)

While Ren Xiaosu was still at Stronghold 109, he had heard of Fang Yujing and Cicada's names on a streetcar. At the time, he wondered if the celebrities of this stronghold were also members of the Saboteurs based on the situation with Luo Xinyu.

But later on, he felt that he was wrong to think that way. When the great disaster struck Stronghold 109, Luo Xinyu and Lu Yuan had specially waited for Yang Xiaojin in the wilderness for some time. However, no one else was in the vehicle. If these two celebrities were also members of the Saboteurs, they would have been taken by them back then.

Moreover, if Fang Yujing were a member of the Saboteurs, she would not need to approach him in such a manner. It would be just as how Luo Xinyu had greeted Ren Xiaosu openly after discovering he was her neighbor.

Right now, it seemed like the escapees who had started forming cliques had somehow learned of Fang Yujing's identity and wanted to get their hands on her. As a result, she approached Ren Xiaosu's group in a roundabout way to get his help.

No matter whether his deduction was right or wrong, Ren Xiaosu did not actually intend to bother with Fang Yujing's plight. If someone made immoral advances on the celebrity again after she went back, Chen Wudi would naturally give them a thrashing...

By this point, Ren Xiaosu fully entrusted Chen Wudi with doing all the good deeds. However, Ren Xiaosu still reminded Chen Wudi over and over to try his best not to reveal his superpower. He also told this to Jiang Wu as well.

When Jiang Wu awakened her power yesterday, no one noticed since the escapees were busy fleeing in panic. Therefore, they were just a group of normal people with guns in the eyes of the other escapees. This way, they would not attract any special attention from the corporations when they reached the next stronghold together. This was also the reason why Ren Xiaosu would rather use a gun instead of depending on his powers last night. After all, most of the organizations were not really friendly towards supernatural beings nowadays.

Then the faint rumbling of vehicles came from ahead of them. Ren Xiaosu looked up at the sound and was surprised to see a convoy of vehicles approaching them. On the sides of the vehicles, the logo of the Li Consortium's white spider could be seen.

In reality, it wasn't exactly a white spider. It was just a logo in the shape of a nanomachine that resembled a spider drawn with well-defined edges.

Ren Xiaosu frowned. The last thing he wanted to see now was the Li Consortium's people.

Hundreds of military transport trucks slowly came to a stop in front of the escapees, and all of their tires were fitted with snow chains.

A dozen or so combat platoons jumped out of the vehicles and slowly approached the group. The escapees were crying and shouting for help like their saviors had arrived. It was as though they had finally met their family members again.

The officer commanding the platoons asked coldly, ”Where have you all come from?”

With tears streaming down his face, an escapee said, ”Sir, we're residents of Stronghold 109. We escaped from there.”

Another escapee said in elation, ”Didn't I say? The rescue troops would definitely find us. The Li Consortium hasn't forgotten about us. Sir, do you have any food? We're on the verge of starving to death.”

But the officer sneered, ”I'm not here to save you all. We've been ordered to come to Stronghold 109 to annihilate the invaders. We were instructed to send everyone back to town at Stronghold 108. We aren't responsible for providing any meals to you.”

The escapees were taken aback. ”Aren't you going to give us any aid?”

The officer looked at the escapees and told the adjutant next to him, ”Do a headcount of the escapees.”

These armed troops of the consortium quickly did a headcount of everyone. But during the process, their guns remained pointed at the escapees to prevent them from rioting.

When the escapees who had been thinking of protesting against being treated like this saw the guns, they suddenly became as obedient as quails and did not dare say anything more.
