303 Heading north to Stronghold 88 (1/2)
Nobody in the refugee camp could understand what had just happened. Why did a girl suddenly come here looking for someone? Moreover, it even looked like that Yang Consortium lieutenant colonel had to speak politely to her. This seemed to subvert all common sense. Could she be the core member of the Yang Consortium? But what was the name that the girl mentioned just now? Ren Xiaosu?
Then they heard Yang Xiaojin repeat, \”Do you have someone here named Ren Xiaosu or Yan Liuyuan? I'm here to take them away.\”
The escapees could only feel envy. She was actually here to take those people away? From the way she spoke, it seemed like it would be a good thing to get taken away by her.
Hold on a minute! The escapees were not familiar with Ren Xiaosu's name because he had been lying down and recuperating from his injuries all this while, so he did not have much of a presence in their minds. But they were all too familiar with Yan Liuyuan's name!
\”Big Sister Xiaojin, we're here,\” Yan Liuyuan shouted and raised his hand.
Yang Xiaojin's eyes lit up. She did not really expect to find Ren Xiaosu and the others here.
Yang Xiaojin had no choice but to follow Luo Xinyu and leave the battlefield when she got surrounded by the Experimentals in Stronghold 108. When she went back to look for Ren Xiaosu, she couldn't find him anymore. She didn't know where Ren Xiaosu and the others had fled to.
After traveling north for some time, Yang Xiaojin was still indignant about the matter. When she heard that there was a refugee camp being built here, she decided to come over to try her luck.
Ren Xiaosu looked at Yan Liuyuan and asked in a low voice, \”You didn't make the wish or curse, right?\”
\”No.\” Yan Liuyuan shook his head.
At a critical moment like this, Yang Xiaojin and Luo Xinyu suddenly arrived here after driving through the darkness of the night in an off-road vehicle.
A lot of people were in between Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin. But when Yang Xiaojin walked over to Ren Xiaosu, the escapees parted like the sea. It was like this was a stage, and the two individuals at both ends of the stage were the stars of the night.
Yang Xiaojin walked up to Ren Xiaosu and sized him up from top to toe. She was still wearing her cap as usual, and the form-fitting sports outfit remained unchanged as well. \”You're injured?\”
\”Mhm.\” Ren Xiaosu nodded and said, \”I accidentally took a blast from an RPG that was fired by the Li Consortium.\”
The lieutenant colonel's jaw dropped. He thought to himself, 'You must be bragging, right? How could anyone still be standing after taking damage from an RPG? Who do you think you are?' However, he reminded himself of Yang Xiaojin's identity, so Ren Xiaosu's account sounded somewhat understandable.
Then Yang Xiaojin said to the lieutenant colonel, \”I want to take these people away. Please process the paperwork.\”
The lieutenant colonel said, \”We're currently investigating a case of spying, and these people are the main suspects.\” Although he was very polite to Yang Xiaojin, business was still business.
Yang Xiaojin calmly asked, \”Are you implying that my friend is a spy? Then what does that make me? They're from the Yang Consortium as well. It's just that you don't know about it at your level. So are you still going to arrest them?\”
\”I wouldn't dare.\” The lieutenant colonel's tone softened. He turned to the soldier beside him and said, \”Release them!\”
Ren Xiaosu gave a mental sigh. Well, it looked like he had gained yet another identity as part of the Yang Consortium. He had completed the full set.
He reckoned that his identities were just like a top-secret file. In 50 years when the confidential records of the Yang, Li, and Qing consortiums were declassified, everyone would definitely be astonished.
Of course, the Li Consortium wouldn't exist anymore by then.
The nearby refugees were all shocked. Who was this big shot from the Yang Consortium? Their jealousy of Ren Xiaosu was reaching a fever pitch. Weren't they all supposed to be refugees? So why had he suddenly become a core member of the Yang Consortium? There was even a beautiful young lady who specially came to pick him up in the middle of the night!
While they were fleeing, the escapees were already very jealous of Ren Xiaosu's group for having food to eat. Later on at the refugee camp, that jealousy was alleviated when they thought about how they were all fellow captives. But everyone realized at this moment that that had not been the case at all!
