Chapter 796 - Dawn of a chaotic world (2/2)

Just as his words trailed off, Ren Xiaosu saw a red dot appear on Liang Ce’s chest. A voice came from the forest north of the campsite. “All of you, stand up and place your hands behind your heads. Put your guns down on the ground. If not, I’ll kill him.”

Ren Xiaosu stared at the red dot on Liang Ce’s body. The intruder was actually carrying a gun with a laser sight? Would normal people possess something like that? Could they really have encountered army deserters from the Kong Consortium?

With the gradual migration of the Northerners to the South, it was no longer bandits who were running rampant in the wilderness but deserters.

The world was about to descend into chaos as the smell of gunpowder filled the air.

Everyone in the campsite stood up and placed their hands behind their heads.

Liang Ce was a little nervous. He looked around but did not know who could save him. He swept his gaze to the middle-aged man who claimed to be a good marksman earlier. However, he saw the man had already put his gun obediently down on the ground.

The person in the forest started to approach the campsite. Ren Xiaosu said in a low voice, “It sounds like there’s only one person nearby. I’ll make my move directly. If he has other companions hiding in the distance, can you take care of it?”

Yang Xiaojin gave a slight nod.

Honestly, Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin really did not think deserters would be much of a threat. If not for the fact they were trying to get into the Kong Consortium’s stronghold with their identities hidden, the deserter pointing a gun at them would already be dead.

They saw the deserter walking out of the forest. His uniform was tattered with holes, and the camouflage paint on his face was mixed with dust. His face was so dirty his expression could not be seen.

Yang Xiaojin examined the other deserter’s military uniform and confirmed, “It’s really a deserter from the Kong Consortium’s military.”

The deserter strolled up to them and said coldly, “I’m sorry, everyone. I don’t have a choice either. The war in the North has gotten too chaotic. I need to go to the South and try to build a life there, so please hand over all your money.”

Then the deserter looked at their vehicles. When he realized there was a Red Cross sign on them, he was overjoyed. “You’re doctors? Are there medical supplies in the cars? You, go and move all the medicine into a vehicle.”

Liang Ce was forced to do so as he had a gun pointed at him. When the deserter saw the medicine in the vehicles, he got very excited. With this amount of medicine, he could easily become rich when he got to the South!

Wang Jing and the others did not say anything throughout this. If the deserter were only after their medical supplies, there was no need for them to put up a fight. They could just give them to him.

But then the deserter said to Liang Ce, “Bring over two jerrycans of gas from the other vehicles and load them into the trunk as well!”

Liang Ce continued to do as he was told. Ren Xiaosu thought that guy was really unlucky. He was even the first one to get targeted during a robbery.

The deserter kept his gun up and looked around the campsite. He suddenly saw Meng Nan and Yang Xiaojin. When his gaze landed on the latter, he almost could not take his eyes off her. He said to Yang Xiaojin, “Get into the car and quietly drive for me. I’ll let you go when I get to the South—”

Bang!

The deserter looked down at his chest in a daze before falling backwards slowly.

Liang Ce was trembling all over as he looked at Ren Xiaosu. However, he saw Ren Xiaosu also looked terrified. A wisp of smoke was still coming out from the muzzle of the gun in his hand.

Liang Ce said nervously, “Didn’t you say that you’ve never held a gun before?”

Ren Xiaosu said in a trembling voice, “Yeah, I’ve never held one before. I admit that I took a gamble there. But he was threatening my girlfriend just now, so it was either you or him that had to die tonight….”

Liang Ce did not know whether to laugh or cry. However, he still said solemnly in the end, “Thank you!”

“Gratitude received from Liang Ce, +1!”
