341 Trapping (1/2)

Ren Xiaosu had originally wanted to stay in this mountain hideout for a while to observe them. However, Yang Xiaojin's looks sure made it easy for the bandits to want to lay their hands on her. If it weren't for this matter, Ren Xiaosu wouldn't have suddenly made that move.

But since he acted, he would have to ensure there wouldn't be trouble afterwards. He wasn't going to learn from the stronghold residents and fake mercy.

However, the turn of events seemed a little unexpected. Ren Xiaosu realized that after Jin Lan and the others had been overpowered, they did not have any hate for him or even say any harsh words. Instead, they wanted this supernatural being to lead them to something greater!

What kind of freaking mindset was that?!

Seeing this band of bandits addressing Ren Xiaosu as their boss, even the refugees standing nearby were stunned. They could never have expected such a reversal!

It was also at this moment they realized Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin were no ordinary people. The couple had not come to their settlement because they wanted to farm. In fact, they might even be bandits from another mountain hideout.

Yang Xiaojin went on guard. She was responsible for preventing anyone from secretly attacking them with their guns. But after a while, she realized these people were actually serious about acknowledging Ren Xiaosu as their boss.

He was here to exterminate the bandits, so how did it end up with him becoming the bandit leader?

However, the first thing Ren Xiaosu said was, ”Hurry up and move the firearms and fuel cans far away from me. By placing all the firearms in one spot, aren't y'all afraid you'll blow yourselves up?”

Jin Lan, whose nose was bleeding, hurriedly stood up. ”Listen to the boss. Hurry up and shift the things away. Don't keep them there and cause an eyesore to the boss!”

Yang Xiaojin came to Ren Xiaosu's side and watched the group of people busy themselves with their tasks. She said in a low voice, ”How are we going to put a stop to this mess now?”

Ren Xiaosu pondered for a long time. ”Look at the logic you're going by! We're here to destroy the bandits, aren't we?”

”Yes.”

”We're here to figure out where all the bandits are hiding so we can capture them all!”

”Yes.”

”Then look at it this way. If we go through so much effort to find them and then draw the terrain map,” Ren Xiaosu said, ”when the Zong Consortium and Yang Consortium's troops come storming, we might not be able to find them.”

These bandits were like rats, and the valley that had been cut through by rivers was like a sewer. It would be really easy for the regular combat troops to come here to fight them. All they had to do was send more people here, and they would have no problem dealing with the bandits. Ren Xiaosu did not believe the Zong Consortium would be so utterly defeated unless they had other motives.

However, if the combat troops were not familiar with the terrain here, it would be impossible to exterminate the bandits entirely. Strictly speaking, it was not that it couldn't be done, but it was just not worth the effort.

”So…” Yang Xiaojin looked at Ren Xiaosu.

”We'll have the bandits come to us instead,” Ren Xiaosu decided.

At this moment, Yang Xiaojin did not realize what it would lead to, mainly because Ren Xiaosu's thinking was quite different from others. Under normal circumstances, it would not be possible to guess what he was thinking.

Ren Xiaosu looked at the refugees. ”Let's go back to farming!”

The refugees were stunned for a moment. ”We can go back to farming?”

They had thought Ren Xiaosu would stay here at the mountain hideout as the bandit leader while they continued being their captives. After all, the bandits in the valley were all birds of a feather. But Ren Xiaosu was actually thinking of bringing them back to farm?

”That's right.” Ren Xiaosu said excitedly, ”Haven't y'all dug the irrigation ditches already? Since they've already been dug, we have to sow the land! Now that we have weapons, we can choose not to be bandits and use them to protect our crops so that other bandits can't hurt us!”

The refugees were stunned. However, they still did not dare pick up the weapons. It was as though they would get into trouble the moment they picked one up.
