Chapter 908: Clues to his ident.i.ty

Ren Xiaosu did not directly charge at the barbarians as P5092 had expected, so this made P5092 feel rather relieved.

To be honest, he had always been a cautious person. So if Ren Xiaosu were a rash kind of person, he would feel he would be unable to work with him.

After all, it would mean their tactical thinking was different.

But from the look of things, even though Ren Xiaosu had a very tough side and willingness to stand toe to toe with the enemy, he was still generally cautious in his actions.

Ren Xiaosu had already led Yang Xiaojin and P5092 down the mountain. P5092 initially wanted to ask Ren Xiaosu if he needed any help, but he saw Ren Xiaosu take out several satchels of TNT from somewhere.

Then he kept taking out even more TNT without stop.

This sight stunned P5092 quite a bit. “Where did you get all this TNT from?”

“Oh.” Ren Xiaosu said in seriousness, “Magic? Have you heard of magic?”

P5092 did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Do you think I’m stupid? How can this be magic? It’s f.u.c.king sorcery!”

“Same difference,” Ren Xiaosu said ambiguously. His storage function was no longer a deadly secret for him. And P5092 was already one of his people, so even if he did not wish to explain, he had no intention of hiding it from him either. He would just let the other party make conclusions for himself.

Then P5092 looked at the TNT and suddenly asked, “Wait a minute, aren’t those the Pyro Company’s TNT? When did you take them? Why were you able to get into the ammo depot?”

Ren Xiaosu gave him a look before throwing the little black book to P5092 and saying, “Didn’t you give me your ID? Have you forgotten?”

When P5092 saw the ID in his hand, he gasped. If he knew Ren Xiaosu would smuggle so much TNT out, he would definitely not have handed over his black ID to him.

P5092 asked, “Are you going to bury the TNT and use them as land mines?”

He vaguely remembered that Ren Xiaosu had used this tactic when he led the recon company into the forest.

However, Ren Xiaosu shook his head. “I did that before in the northern forest at the Great Wall. If any of the barbarians back then managed to escape, their troops will definitely be careful of buried TNT. Moreover, this is the front between the w.a.n.g Consortium and the expeditionary army. The w.a.n.g Consortium must’ve planted such land mines here as well, and the barbarians have definitely set them off before.”

This puzzled P5092 even more. “Then what do you intend to use the TNT for? Are you going to charge at the enemy and suicide bomb them?”

Ren Xiaosu glanced at him. “My life is much more valuable than theirs, so why would I do something like that? Just wait patiently. You’ll understand in a while.”

P5092 looked at Yang Xiaojin, who was beside him, and was surprised to find her already reclining against a rock and getting ready to catch up on some sleep. The girl had even pulled up her jacket’s hood to block out the morning sun. It was as though none of what was happening bothered her.

Having witnessed her sniping skill, P5092 knew very well that an outstanding sniper like her was definitely not a lazy person. A lazy person could never become a sniper. Therefore, Yang Xiaojin must think that Ren Xiaosu was fully capable of handling whatever was coming, right?

It seemed like she knew the exact limits of Ren Xiaosu’s power. She knew that if it were only a small group of the expeditionary army’s troops infiltrating through here, Ren Xiaosu could handle them all by himself.

P5092 looked at Ren Xiaosu. “While Mt. Daniu only spans a few thousand hectares, there’s close to ten thousand different mountain paths the barbarians can take. Why are you so sure they’ll pa.s.s through here?”

Ren Xiaosu sat down on a rock. “Intuition, a hunter’s intuition.”

“Did you need to go hunting in the past?” The term “hunter” was actually quite unfamiliar to P5092, because stronghold residents did not really go out of the strongholds, and very few refugees knew how to hunt. This activity became even rarer after the wildlife had mutated, causing the hunting profession to almost go extinct.

Ren Xiaosu explained with a smile, “I didn’t have anything to eat when I used to live in a town, so I could only go out and hunt. At that time, I was still a refugee. When I first started learning how to hunt, I couldn’t catch anything at all. But a person can’t keep going hungry forever, so I had to learn.”

“Learn from who?” P5092 asked.

“Nature’s the best teacher there is.” Ren Xiaosu said, “I observed wildcats, wolves, foxes, and even insects hunting. Slowly, I learned from them before understanding what I needed to do. In order to wait for prey, spiders can remain motionless for an entire day and night. In order to hunt, wildcats will find an opportunity to go downwind and search for terrain suitable for them to launch into a sprint. When the prey has their back turned, wildcats will pounce on them without hesitation when the time is ripe.”

Ren Xiaosu continued, “Actually, I also find it very strange sometimes. There’s some things like rock climbing and wilderness survival that I only need to think about for a bit before knowing the best way to approach it. It’s as though someone has taught me those activities before. It’s instinctive to me like I’ve never lost touch with those skills. There’s also something else that I can’t understand. It’s not because I can’t balance myself that I can’t learn how to ride a bicycle, but… I don’t know why, but I feel a little fearful when I’m riding a bike. It’s like something bad happened when I rode a bike in the past.”

When Yang Xiaojin heard this, she pulled off her hood and looked at Ren Xiaosu. She remembered that Ren Xiaosu had mentioned before that his memory of the past was incomplete. Ren Xiaosu himself did not know where he came from or what he did before.

It seemed like his wilderness survival skills was a useful clue. And also his inability to learn how to ride a bicycle.

Yang Xiaojin did not particularly want to find out about Ren Xiaosu’s past either, as she always felt that she liked the current him. So it did not matter whether she knew his past experiences or where he was from.

However, she knew very well that there were some grievances deep down inside Ren Xiaosu. Although he tended not to mention these matters, based on Ren Xiaosu’s character, the more he did not talk about it, the more it showed that he cared.

Who would want over a decade of their memories to be blank?

Therefore, Yang Xiaojin was more than willing to help Ren Xiaosu regain some of his memories if she could.

P5092 thought for a moment and said, “You’re like the natural enemy of the barbarians on the battlefield. Their talent as hunters is absolutely not worth a mention in front of you, but…”

However, Ren Xiaosu’s eyes lit up at this moment. “Look, we haven’t even finished talking, but the first group of victims is already here!”

The corners of P5092’s eyes twitched. ‘

What the h.e.l.l is a victim? Why does this description sound so uncomfortable?!

‘

A second later, he saw a Shadow Door open up in front of Ren Xiaosu. The black door was like a black hole that seemed to be absorbing all light into it. Whoever saw it would feel their hearts throbbing inexplicably.

Right after that, Ren Xiaosu stuffed a satchel of TNT through the Shadow Door. P5092 jerked his head up and heard a loud explosion a kilometer away.

P5092 was certain Ren Xiaosu was behind the explosion that just went off a kilometer away.

However, he was a little confused. Just how many powers did this future commander from the Northwest have?!
