300 We were only playing Fight the Landlord!

According to Ren Xiaosu's plan, he would create some chaos on the refugees' side while they took the opportunity to escape.

After all, it was no longer safe to stay at this place. Ren Xiaosu had already planned on leaving the moment he could start walking again.

They could not head north now since they did not have any status. With the roads to the north full of the Yang Consortium's troops, they would not be able to pass through the checkpoints for sure. They couldn't head east either as the Experimentals were still there. It was even more impossible to go south. That place had now become the main battlefield for the Yang Consortium, Li Consortium, and Qing Consortium!

After the Yang Consortium and Qing Consortium successfully broke through the first layer of defense, they immediately joined forces and closed down on the south. That left the Li Consortium in a sorry state.

Therefore, they could only head west where there was a mountain range that stretched for hundreds of kilometers. It was said that very few people could pass through it, and no one knew what was in there. But that was the only direction left for Ren Xiaosu and company to take. At least, they should be able to rely on the power of the Brambles and survive there for a few years.

But when the sound of the explosion rang out, the Yang Consortium's troops arrived at the scene too quickly. The two reinforced companies seemed to have already prepared a contingency plan for such situations. The perimeter spotlights instantly lit up around the entire camp, and the soldiers that were patrolling immediately placed the campsite under strict lockdown.

Ren Xiaosu stood at the door and frowned. The Yang Consortium's military standard was much better than he had imagined. It was no wonder they could win against the Li Consortium head-on in battle.

It looked like the Yang Consortium had been preparing for this war for a long time.

At this moment, the Yang Consortium's officers arrived at the site of the explosion. Ren Xiaosu quietly observed from the periphery while the other refugees stood far away and did not dare to get close. It had been very peaceful at the campsite, so who could have expected such an accident to suddenly occur?

However, what surprised Ren Xiaosu was that not all of the people in their barracks had died. There was still one person who was lying on the ground gasping and shouting for help!

It seemed that the power of the four \"threes\" was still somewhat limited. Ren Xiaosu sighed. However, he was not worried about anyone linking him to the incident just because there was a fortunate survivor who might be able to offer some clues.

The combination of the Shadow Door and Explosive Poker cards was simply a super stealthy explosive weapon. Within a radius of a kilometer, he could cause an explosion to whoever or whatever he disliked.

The precision of which the Shadow Door could be controlled had been reduced to a distance of less than a meter by Ren Xiaosu, so there was practically no margin of error anymore.

Counting all the powers that he had now, the combination of his shadow clone and the City Crusher would allow him to execute head-on attacks. The Shadow Door and the Explosive Poker cards were useful for carrying out long-distance sneak attacks. Then there was the technique of stabbing people in the back too. On the whole, there were no obvious shortcomings.

A Yang Consortium officer stood next to the survivor and asked, \"Why was there an explosion? Were you all secretly hiding weapons from us? Out with it, are you all enemy spies?\"

The power of the explosion just now was comparable to two hand grenades. Although the explosion did not sound like it, it could mean that it was some other explosive weapon.

Since this was wartime, the Yang Consortium soldiers linked the incident to foreign spies, although they did not understand why the bomb would explode.

The survivor shouted, claiming innocence, \"Sir, we're not spies. I was just watching them play Fight the Landlord just now. But suddenly, someone played a 'bomb' made of four 'threes' and it ended up exploding.\"

The survivor felt like something was not right with the officer's expression. The officer got so angry he laughed. \"You're saying you were watching the others play Fight the Landlord, and then a 'quad three' bomb was played and it ended up exploding?\"

The survivor nodded frantically. \"Yes, yes, yes! That's exactly what happened. In fact, someone already played a three earlier, so I don't know where the four 'threes' came from….\"

\"Would you like to tell me all the cards that were played?\" the officer said expressionlessly.

\"I can't remember…\"

\"Hah!\" The officer said with a dark expression, \"Do you think I'm easy to bluff? Drag him away and interrogate him through the night. Find out if he still has accomplices in the camp! As for all of the other refugees, get them to lay where the sentries can see them and have them start doing push-ups!\"

Ren Xiaosu listened to everything from the sidelines. He knew what the survivor had said sounded absurd, but it was truly what happened.

\"Bro,\" Yan Liuyuan said, \"what should we do?\"

\"If there's no chance, we'll just have to wait for one. You should also make observations of the terrain around the construction site these next few days.\" Ren Xiaosu said, \"There might be an opportunity if we go through there.\"

The construction site was in the wilderness. If it were only Ren Xiaosu and Yan Liuyuan, they would have fled long ago. But many more others were in the group, with over 30 of them in total. If they were to escape together, the size of their group would be too noticeable, while the girls and the wounded might also get caught at any moment.

Yan Liuyuan thought for a moment and said, \"The chances of escaping through the construction site are slim as well. That is, unless you fully recover; then we can kill our way out with everyone.\"

\"That will be our last resort,\" Ren Xiaosu said. Ren Xiaosu then went back to the barracks and continued lying down pretending to be injured. Well, it wasn't actually pretending since he was really injured.

Although they couldn't get a chance to escape this time, it was still good that they got rid of a latent problem. After all, those refugees were wild in nature and had developed an aggressiveness brought on by the wilderness, so there was really a chance they could threaten the people around Ren Xiaosu.

Then that survivor was taken away by the Yang Consortium's soldiers to see the reinforced companies' commander. The survivor suddenly shouted, \"Sir, I suspect that it was Yan Liuyuan and the others who did it. Our boss got into an argument with him earlier tonight and was thinking of killing them at the construction site tomorrow, but we allowed them to gain the upper hand in the end. That must be what happened.\"

Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment in the barracks. That guy was not stupid since he managed to guess the truth. Oh, that shouldn't be it. It must have been his fear kicking in that caused him to senselessly start accusing others, while Ren Xiaosu and company were indeed the prime suspects for this matter.

The Yang Consortium's officer looked suspiciously at Yan Liuyuan and the others. When he saw Wang Fugui, he froze and said, \"So you all did it?\"

Wang Fugui quickly faked a smile and said, \"Sir, he's slandering us. We didn't even leave the building. You can ask those around us. We're so far away from their barracks, so if it was us who did it, we would've been seen moving around there.\"

The officer looked around and said, \"Did anyone see them near the explosion? Be honest and you'll be rewarded. You won't have to perform hard labor in the future!\"

However, the offer was met with the sound of silence all around, although someone did say that they only saw Wang Fugui and the others coming out of their barracks when the explosion happened.

Wang Fugui was someone the soldiers were familiar with. No matter how cold they were, they would still trust a person they knew. Furthermore, others also testified for him, so Wang Fugui's credibility greatly increased.

The officer sneered at the survivor. \"I don't care how many lies you're telling right now. There'll be plenty of ways to make you tell the truth later!\"

The survivor was almost in tears. All he had done was to watch others play Fight the Landlord!

However, after the officer brought the survivor back, he gave the matter a bit more thought and instructed, \"Keep a closer eye on Wang Fugui and his group. Inform me immediately if there's anything suspicious.\"
