21. Family Status
The unexpected news came one after another today, causing panic in the market town. Everyone did not hide at home tonight, but all came out to discuss this matter.
In fact, the explosion of the factory boiler is not too serious. After all, the factory boiler has not exploded once or twice because of its disrepair.
However, this time is different. Where did the wolves dare to loot human factories before? There are thousands of workers in almost every factory, and the road outside the market town is very lively when the factory is off work.
Some workers came to live in market towns, while others simply lived in factory dormitories. They worked in three shifts, and the factory worked around the clock.
How dare wolves dare to go to such a small human settlement near the refuge barrier? This in itself is an astonishing thing.
As the band's accompanying mercenaries said, Refuge Barrier 113 is located in a huge circle of barriers, and the circle has always been relatively safe. At first, the Refuge Barrier also sent troops to the factory, but later everyone found that there were no beasts attacking the factory at all. Later, the army was withdrawn, leaving only a few guns for the factory managers.
At night, the city gate of the refuge barrier suddenly opened, and the gate of the barrier made a loud rumbling sound, and then hundreds of soldiers with guns and live ammunition walked out.
These are the private army of Manager No. 113, or the private army of the Qing Consortium behind the No. 113 barrier.
Mr. Zhang Jinglin of the academy once mentioned inadvertently that now the consortium is the actual controller of the refuge barrier. They hold the lifeblood of human survival, and also hold the weapons to fight against the dangers of the outside world. They have money in one hand and weapons in the other. All barriers are in their own hands.
This was the first time that Ren Xiaosu and Yan Liuyuan had seen so many soldiers coming out of the shelter. Yan Liuyuan hid in the shack and watched the private soldiers marching outside the market town. He whispered, "Brother, they Are you carrying a gun?"
The black guns looked very cold and brutal, but Ren Xiaosu was not surprised to find that he knew all of these guns.
Also, he had a feeling... as long as he got these guns, they would be able to use them immediately.
These private troops were not orderly when they were marching. There were off-road vehicles driving the road, but some soldiers at the back were walking in a mess. This formation can even be said to be messy. Humans, can't you go tomorrow morning? You have to kill wolves overnight tonight."
"Shut up, this is the task explained above," someone glared at him.
"What are you afraid of, the officials can't hear you, they are still in the woman's bed," the man said cursingly, and then he lit a thin cigarette for himself. Ren Xiaosu smelled that kind of thing again. Weird smoke smell.
Ren Xiaosu frowned, he now distrusts the private army in these barriers more and more.
At this time, the private soldier who smoked turned his head and saw Ren Xiaosu and Yan Liuyuan looking at their automatic rifles. He scolded, "What are you two big ass looking at, do you know what this is? Don't look at it, You won't use it either."
Ren Xiaosu lowered the curtain, but he did not agree with the soldier's second half of the sentence.
For some reason, he suddenly judged that the soldier's marksmanship might not be very good. The triangle on the opponent's right chest used to withstand recoil did not form a posture of practicing guns for many years.
In fact, what Ren Xiaosu didn't know was that hot weapons are now more precious even for refuge barriers, and the officers of the private army would not let these soldiers waste ammunition on weekdays. If you have this money, you might as well spend it on a drink or find a woman.
Alcohol is forbidden outside the Refuge Barrier, but it is forbidden inside.
Yan Liuyuan asked curiously, "Brother, why do I think you seem to know their guns?"
Ren Xiaosu glanced at him: "Don't ask more.
"
Yan Liuyuan complained aggrievedly: "Do I still have family status in this family?"
While thinking about things, Ren Xiaosu said casually, "Don't think too much, your status at home is to live."
Yan Liuyuan: "..."
When the footsteps of the private army left, Ren Xiaosu suddenly stood up and said to Yan Liuyuan, "You go to your sister Xiaoyu tonight to stay for a while, and you will come back when I come back."
"Where are you going?" Yan Liuyuan asked in a daze.
As a result, as soon as he finished asking, Ren Xiaosu quietly opened the door and went out. At this time, many people gathered on the street, so no one noticed Ren Xiaosu's whereabouts.
On weekdays, everyone didn't dare to go out in the dark, but today everyone came out, as if it was a new year.
Ren Xiaosu walked through the darkness. When he left the market town, he began to run wildly. The moonlight was not bright tonight, but Ren Xiaosu has been out of the market town almost every day these years, and he can walk the road here with his eyes closed!
The barrier private army took the big road, while Ren Xiaosu chose a parallel path to avoid running into the private army.
He didn't come here for anything else, just to see if there was any opportunity, and he couldn't say exactly what the opportunity was.
gun!
It was the gun that tempted Ren Xiaosu to come here!
Ren Xiaosu, who has acquired advanced firearms skills, knows how important firearms are in today's era. The mercenaries accompanying the band once said: They have hot weapons, and the wolves will flee in a hurry when they hear the sound of gunfire.
Ren Xiaosu, who has encountered wolves, knows how terrifying the wolves are, but such a terrifying thing is afraid of gunfire?
Ren Xiaosu didn't know what would happen to these private troops in the face of the wolves, and he never thought about getting the guns in the hands of these private troops, because his target was the factory, and everyone in the market town knew that the factory manager was handed the allotment. With firearms.
According to the people who escaped from the factory, the factory was over. Ren Xiaosu wondered in the afternoon. Didn't he say that the wolves were afraid of the sound of gunfire, so wouldn't the manager just shoot the wolves and start them away?
Maybe it was because the wolves were not expected to come, so it was too late to get the guns, maybe the gunman was attacked by the wolves, or some other reason, but maybe the guns were still there.
Ren Xiaosu ran with all his strength. He was more familiar with this place than the private army, and while the private army was walking, he was running.
Suddenly, a gunshot bloomed in the dark night, and then the fierce gunshots continued in the night sky for a long time, as well as the screams of humans.
Ren Xiaosu suddenly turned his head to look at the source of the sound. This was clearly the encounter between the private army and the wolves, and many private soldiers were still injured after shooting. Didn't the wolves fear the sound of gunfire? Isn't that the instinct of beasts to avoid danger?
To this day, Ren Xiaosu has a perception: although beasts have evolved, they have never been able to overcome their instincts, rabbits still eat grass, and wolves are still afraid of gunfire.
Unless that all changes.
