Chapter 776 - Winning over people with virtue (1/2)

Ren Xiaosu watched as the steam locomotive disappeared into the distance. “He ran off just like that?”

When Ren Xiaosu saw Wang Congyang flee, he lost interest in pursuing him. In order to keep up with Wang Congyang’s speed, he would have to use his own steam locomotive for the pursuit until Wang Congyang was completely exhausted.

Second, Ren Xiaosu felt it was an option to keep the other party alive so he could continue taking the blame. Of course, he could not let others know about this thought of his.

Yang Xiaojin glanced at Ren Xiaosu before conjuring her black sniper rifle. “Should we go after him?”

“Unnecessary.” Ren Xiaosu quickly stopped Yang Xiaojin and said, “Look, my questioning just now has already made him so ashamed that he wants to be a good person. Let’s not keep fighting and killing all day. We have to win people over with virtue.”

Yang Xiaojin wondered, “You? Win over people with virtue?”

Honestly, no matter how much Yang Xiaojin glorified Ren Xiaosu in her mind, she would still find it very difficult to associate him with that saying.

But after pondering for a while, Yang Xiaojin took out a dagger from her boot and carved “virtue” in small letters on the black sniper rifle’s butt.

Then Yang Xiaojin decisively fired at the steam locomotive in the distance. She stood steadily as though she were not affected by the recoil at all.

About a second later, when the bullet hit the train, Wang Congyang nearly spat blood in the carriage. After all, any attacks on the steam locomotive would be transferred back onto the user.

But he did not have time for that. The most important thing now was to quickly get out of this damned place.

Yang Xiaojin put down the black sniper rifle and said to Ren Xiaosu, “Did you mean this way of winning over people with virtue?”

Ren Xiaosu was startled. What was with this girl’s comprehension of things? Her interpretation of “winning over people with virtue” was to carve the word “virtue” in the butt of the rifle and shoot at someone with it?

Using “virtue” to win over someone?

More importantly, she was actually able to carve the word on it. ‘That’s the fucking black sniper rifle, alright!‘

Ren Xiaosu picked up Yang Xiaojin’s black sniper rifle and saw “virtue” elegantly inscribed on it. It was like it originally came with the rifle.

Ren Xiaosu was silent for a moment. “Well, if you say so I guess…”

He looked up at the sky and lamented how the girl next to him was so much more resolute than him the majority of the time.

But wasn’t this the reason why he liked her?

…

Stronghold 61 was now in a very orderly state. Residents could leave their doors open at night and no one would take things that were not theirs.

Currently, not only were there surveillance cameras installed in the stronghold, even the town had them as well.

As such, when Ren Xiaosu finally returned to Stronghold 61’s town again, he somehow felt very uncomfortable everywhere he went. This was no longer the town he was familiar with.

The shacks in front of them were still dilapidated and the roads remained muddy. However, brand new surveillance cameras were now installed above their heads.

Ren Xiaosu found it a little ironic. Actually, the Wang Consortium did not lack any money since it was located in one of the richest regions in the Central Plains. However, they would rather fill the town with surveillance cameras than build more brick houses for the refugees to have homes to live in.

It was really a little out of place for these technologically advanced surveillance cameras to appear in the slums.
