Many days later, Ren Xiaosu was finally back at Stronghold 61. He was unaware of what was happening in the Northern Plains. In that savage wilderness, a new force was rising quietly.
After returning to Stronghold 61, the first thing Ren Xiaosu did was to return to his house to clear up the burglars that had been killed by the Potato Shooters. However, he discovered the yard to be totally empty. There was nothing there at all.
It looked like the refugees in town had finally wised up. When they knew no one could come out alive from this yard, they did not dare to come here anymore.
This was a situation Ren Xiaosu was a little unaccustomed to.
When Ren Xiaosu saw a bunch of wildflowers in the backyard, he immediately understood this was likely the sign Xiaolu had left for him. They had agreed that if the woman wearing the black cap left town, Xiaolu would let him know about it.
