262 Leading the troops out of a predicament

After Tang Wanyi and the others left, Ren Xiaosu turned around and said to everyone in the private troops, "I was fortunate to be promoted to commander of the Iron Second Battalion. I won't use empty talk, but some of you probably already know about my capability. I'm the best at surviving in this wilderness. None of you will starve to death or end up getting killed by the plants for no reason if you follow me!"

Everyone looked at one another. How could he make such boastful claims the moment he got appointed as the new commander? Everyone knew that Ren Xiaosu was just a normal soldier. But now that he had gained such a huge promotion, everyone couldn't accept it.

Naturally, no one dared protest either. The sight of Ren Xiaosu dragging people around in the snow awhile ago was still fresh in everyone's mind. Their impression of Ren Xiaosu was that he was a relentless person.

But even though he was unrelenting, they did not believe the words he just said.
