Chapter 927 - Learning To Be Human (1/2)

Yang Xiaojin thought about it alone. How could she not know about Ren He, the founder of the Qinghe Group? But he existed more than 200 years ago. Logically speaking, how could such an ancient figure have anything to do with people living in the present?

If it had been anyone else, Yang Xiaojin would probably have laughed it off. However, it was precisely because it was Ren He that there were some issues unanswered, such as the fact that the Qinghe Group was still searching for his descendant.

According to the information the Riders and Pyro Company had revealed, Ren He's son was likely to be in Laboratory 39 in the Jing Mountains where he needed treatment due to a serious illness.

It was during the treatment process when The Cataclysm began.

Yang Xiaojin wondered if this had anything to do with Ren Xiaosu's background.

There was no way to confirm it yet. After all, there was no evidence that Ren Xiaosu had learned those skills from Ren He.

As there was still some doubt regarding this matter, Yang Xiaojin decided she would tell Ren Xiaosu about it after confirming some things.

In fact, Yang Xiaojin had a feeling Ren Xiaosu might have thought about it before. It was just that he did not face it directly.

Wait a minute, if Ren Xiaosu were related to Ren He, wouldn't it mean the person the Riders were looking for was Ren Xiaosu? Wouldn't the entire Qinghe Group and the Riders become followers of Ren Xiaosu?

Thinking of this, Yang Xiaojin even felt a little strange. When she first met that guy, he was just a refugee. How did he suddenly become the future commander of the Northwest in the blink of an eye? And he might even be the head of the Qinghe Group and the Riders too?

It was not that Yang Xiaojin was worried that Ren Xiaosu's status would be too high, but she found this matter very intriguing. The contrast in his status would be enormous.

It had been a long time since she heard any news of the Riders, so she wondered what those people were currently up to.

…

Ren Xiaosu had been sitting at the edge of the defensive position all this while and did not return to his tent. He had already sent out ”Old Xu,” who was patrolling the entire battlefield to prevent any barbarians from sneaking in and catching the 6th Combat Brigade off guard.

He had fought the barbarians on the battlefield in the northern forest, so he knew full well that there were also experts among them. Their physical fitness was even better than that of a T5 combatant's. If experts like these were to quietly approach the defensive position, it could prove very destructive.

Moreover, Wang Yun's 200-odd subordinates were scouting the area around Mt. Zuoyun as well. If they encountered any danger, Old Xu could go to their rescue in time.

At this moment, Ren Xiaosu heard footsteps approaching behind him. He turned around and was surprised to see Mo Fei.

Ren Xiaosu smiled at Mo Fei. ”Did you also come out to look at the stars? I read in a book that the Pre-Cataclysm sky was all haze, so it was very difficult to stargaze.”

”That's the price of industrialization.” Mo Fei said, ”Actually, you've already guessed my identity again, right? I've analyzed from your expression that there's an 89.91% chance you've guessed my identity.”

Ren Xiaosu smiled. ”After all, other than you, I find it very difficult to believe that there are people in the world who can identify a few points that would cause a mountain to collapse. I'm afraid that it would require an extremely powerful calculation ability to achieve something like that.”

”Yes.” Mo Fei nodded. ”Normal people can't possibly do so. I've already marked points on all seven of the mountains in the vicinity for Ji Zi'ang. If necessary, he can topple the mountains at any time and bury the expeditionary army below.”

”I've always been curious about something.” Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked, ”Why can you appear in human form?”

”You already know the answer to that question, don't you?” Mo Fei said.
