Chapter 16
Han Xiao woke up the next morning fully recovered .
"Brother Han, you're awake," greeted Hu Xuan Jun, who was doing his morning exercises outside the tent .
Although Han Xiao was somewhat unwilling to bid farewell to the kindhearted couple, he knew that he had to leave .
"I am indebted to you . Unfortunately, I need to leave now . I will repay you in the future . "
"I've made some pancakes; you can eat them while traveling," said An as she handed a small package over to Han Xiao .
The warmth from the pancakes flowed into Han Xiao's hands, resonating with his heart .
"I slept well last night . Thank you for everything . "
"Ha ha . Don't mention it . Just helping a brother in need," replied Hu Xuan Jun sincerely .
Han Xiao went to gather his belongings . When he went to fetch the bundle of guns, he noticed that the leaf he had placed on it the night before had fallen off .
"Someone has touched my stuff . "
"That's not possible!" Hu Xuan Jun was alarmed . "An and I didn't—hold on! Hu Fei! Get your ass over here right now!"
Hu Fei, who had been eavesdropping from behind the tent, walked out .
"You again?"
Hu Fei averted his eyes to the ground .
Hu Xuan Jun kicked his nephew in the butt .
"Did you steal again? Hand it back right now!"
Hu Fei bit his lips and grudgingly took out a 73-WASP handgun from his clothes .
"Brother Han, do as you deem fit! This kid deserves a beating . "
"It's okay . Everything is fine as long as I get the gun back . My guns will bring you misfortune," Han Xiao sighed a breath of relief .
"May we be fated to meet again . Farewell," bid Han Xiao .
"Take care," nodded Hu Xuan Jun .
Han Xiao picked up his backpack and departed .
"I will never forget this kindness," he thought to himself .
"Bastard's finally gone," rejoiced Hu Fei . "Hehe, he didn't realize that I stole two guns . "
He slipped to the back of the tent where he had hidden the other handgun in a box .
"Even if he comes back, I just have to deny that I have it . "
"But . . . why does this gun have no trigger?"
. . .
The map that Han Xiao had obtained had been crudely drawn . However, Han Xiao was able to learn his current position from it and that sufficed .
He was currently in the country of Stardragon, and by his estimations, it would take him just three more days to reach the main road . There, he could hitch a ride to the city .
In the afternoon, Han Xiao found a spot to eat and replenish his stamina .
As he unpacked his guns to return them to his backpack, he suddenly discovered that something was amiss .
There seems to be a missing gun .
Han Xiao recounted to confirm his suspicions . He immediately dispelled any thoughts of lunch and hastily packed up to retrieve it .
. . .
No . 1 and his men arrived at the encampment right after Han Xiao had left . They rounded up the wanderers and were holding them at gunpoint .
"Has anyone seen this man?"
No . 1 projected a holographic face in mid-air using a device on his wrist .
It was none other than Han Xiao .
"No . "
"Never seen him before . "
Everyone denied seeing him .
They knew that the Germinal Organization would not dare to do anything to them .
Wanderers were a neutral faction, and both the Six Nations and the Germinal Organization were always trying to win their support .
Only one wanderer was trembling uncontrollably for some reason .
No . 1 was in a foul mood, having been in pursuit of Han Xiao for 7 days before arriving at this encampment . If the people here had not seen Han Xiao, it meant that he had gone in the completely wrong direction .
"Withdraw!" ordered No . 1 . However, just as he was about to board the car, he noticed the shaking Hu Fei .
"Bring that kid here!"
