212 Attacking an outpos (1/2)
Ever since the wolves arrived at this mountain, they had not clashed with humans. Without the threat of humans in the wilderness, the resources of the natural world were able to grow abundantly. As such, the wolves did not lack any food here.
So, for a time, Ren Xiaosu thought the wolves were nonviolent and peace-loving animals.
But at this moment, he remembered the reason he managed to acquire the first gun in his life some time ago was because the wolves had attacked the factory outside town, as well as Stronghold 113's private troops.
Ren Xiaosu had already known there was a long-standing feud between the wolves and Stronghold 113's private troops. But he never expected the wolves would actually seek to attack the Li Consortium's combat troops as well.
It seemed like the soldiers in the truck driving slowly down the mountain did not realize danger was approaching. Even though Li Qingzheng and the others saw the wolves, none of them dared to act rashly. On one hand, they were worried the wolves would wipe out everyone at their outpost. But on the other hand, since the Lord of Wolves of Mount Kun had not said anything yet, they did not know what to do either.
Li Qingzheng said, ”It's none of our business and there's nothing much we can do about it anyway, so let's just pretend that we never saw anything.”
Seeing that the wolves did not seem to be interested in their outpost, Li Qingzheng decided to bury his head in the sand. The soldiers of the Li Consortium had never treated them nicely before anyway, so why care about their lives?
Li Qingzheng sent everyone back into their houses. ”Stop watching. This pack of wolves might be just coming out for a stroll?”
Then Li Qingzheng went back to his house first and shivered in fear while holding his automatic rifle close to him. With so many wolves out there, it would be too easy for them to wipe out the outpost.
He suddenly felt that it couldn't be more stimulating than to have been deployed to this outpost. They could eat meat with their meals every day, yet had to live in constant fear as well. Who knew when it would be before the wolves came to attack them and carry them away in their mouths?
Ren Xiaosu also pretended to be afraid as he walked back to his house. But taking a sweeping glance, he realized there were not as many wolves as he had thought. It looked like only a portion of them were roaming around now.
Back in the house, Ren Xiaosu said to Chen Wudi, ”Wudi, watch over everyone for me. Don't let anyone into the house before I get back. If anything unexpected happens, just say that I have diarrhea and needed to go to the toilet.”
As a result of their smaller group of ten, one-third of the entire platoon at the outpost were their people. Therefore, all of them had been grouped together when they were assigned their living quarters. This was also what Ren Xiaosu fought for at the beginning, because it would be more convenient for him to go out on his own with this arrangement, and it would only work if he was surrounded by people he could trust.
The students were already used to this since their class monitor was always able to take care of himself anyway. Although Li Qingzheng kept proclaiming himself the Lord of Wolves of Mount Kun, Ren Xiaosu was actually the true Lord of Wolves to them.
Ren Xiaosu jumped out the window and ran all the way to the foot of the mountain. He did not have a specific purpose and just wanted to see how things would turn out. Along the way, he would also try to get his hands on some nanomachines.
In a world like this, Ren Xiaosu was interested in anything that could enhance his strength further. Who cared if they were superstitions?
After acquiring some nanomachines, Ren Xiaosu could not help but summon them for testing while performing his sentry duty alone atop the mountain. In the process, Ren Xiaosu discovered that even if he did not let the nanomachines enter his body to strengthen his muscles and skeletal structure, they were still powerful enough to be used as an external suit of armor. Perhaps he could really achieve a state of invulnerability when this suit of armor covered his entire body.
What were the things that supernatural beings were most afraid of at the start? It was not the threat of other supernatural beings, but the individual firearms currently in the possession of human civilization! No matter how powerful supernatural beings were, they would still die after getting shot a few times.
The soldiers in the military transport truck were chatting happily as the truck made its way down the mountain. Since the officer was not sitting with them in the back, they started talking without restraint.
