As soon as these words were spoken, not only the survivors, but even the short man himself was stunned.
He obviously hadn't noticed the loophole in his wording and was just about to bluff his way out of it, but upon meeting Xu Renjie's sharp gaze, he immediately gave up the idea of pretending.
"My... my wife and kids are also on the mountain."
Upon hearing this, the survivors all exchanged glances.
Without a doubt, this statement was enough to reveal that the short man had lied earlier.
But it also meant that his description of the town was true.
Xu Renjie decided not to dwell on it any longer; he raised his brow and glanced at the distant mountain forest. As a field reconnaissance soldier, he knew well the difficulty of surviving in the wild.
Although that mountain forest was far from a real jungle, for ordinary people, surviving in such an environment was already an extreme challenge.
