Chapter 645: Strange, the suspicion lingering over ordinary people!
The lord of the Origin Territory appeared in a rather grand manner. Once he appeared, he caused a sensation in a small part of the area.
For this big man who has rarely appeared since he ascended to the status of territorial lord.
Many local ordinary people had never seen it before, and they came in droves out of curiosity.
Not to mention those foreign travelers who are still staying in the origin territory.
However.
This origin lord came quickly and left quickly.
After making a brief appearance in front of a small group of people, he led the people into the fourth large private room of the Zhongfeng Restaurant and disappeared.
At the same time, there was quite a commotion in the Zhongfeng Restaurant.
First, the two tables of people who were eating in the private room were ruthlessly "kicked out". A few people even had rice grains and grease stains hanging from the corners of their mouths.
Furthermore, everyone sitting in the hall was told that the meat and dishes would have to be delayed for a while until the lord finished eating before they could be served to them.
But because the fee for two origin coins will be waived in the lobby, and the private room will be waived plus the next discount.
Not only everyone in the hall clapped their hands and applauded.
Even the people at An's two tables who were kicked out were not angry. They just greeted the new lord with respect and left happily.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the new lord moves like a dragon and a tiger, with extraordinary momentum. He looks like a strong man who can accomplish something in the wasteland.
As long as you can talk to and have a relationship with such people, you will have climbed to the top of the sky, and it will be difficult not to take off.
But for Somo, who was sitting on the third floor, having finished eating and drinking tea.
He was a little disinterested.
“You still don’t know the name of this new lord?”
Holding the rough tea cup in his hand and shaking the light yellow-orange tea inside, Somo meant something. .
Huang Bing, who had also finished eating, sat in his seat and thought for a while, then shook his head: "It seems that I really don't know. Counting this time, I have only met the new lord three times in total. Not to mention me, even my boss probably doesn't know." Not sure."
"Because the rules among the mountains have not changed much, and everyone's life is going according to plan. Except for the promulgation of monetary policy, the new lord rarely speaks out. As for his name. "
Huang Bing hesitated for a moment, but finally, he came over and whispered: "I only heard someone call him Bahu, because the former Lord of the Peak was beaten to death with his fists!"
"Being beaten to death with both fists? Is it so outrageous?"
After Huang Bing finished speaking, the soldier sitting next to him subconsciously exclaimed in surprise.
This matter, if it were an ordinary person fighting for survival, it would be understandable.
But when it falls on the lord, it only makes people feel overwhelmed.
“Yes, regardless of other achievements, in everyone’s mind, the strength of this new lord is recognized and unquestionable.”
“And this is also the case for so many passing businessmen. The reason why troops and travelers dare not stir up trouble in the territory"
As a guard, Huang Bing obviously knows more than ordinary people.
"Last time, someone tried to cause chaos in the territory by relying on more people and guns, but it only took one night. This group of people seemed to have disappeared, and no one knew where they had gone."
"At that time, we thought it was haunted, and people were in panic. If it hadn't been for the order from above, no one would have known that it was the new lord who secretly took care of this group of people."
Huang Bing in front Most of the information provided is just speculation by some people, without any case support.
But the last piece of information made Su Mo's heart move.
Beating someone to death with both fists is not a feat worth bragging about. It is the same as a gangster playing rogue and will not serve as a deterrent.
But to have a group of gunmen suddenly disappear overnight is a sign of strength.
“Anyway, as long as you cause trouble in the territory of origin, no matter what the origin, no matter what weapons and equipment you have”
“It only takes one night, as long as you don’t leave the territory, you will definitely be mysteriously killed. Disappear, no exceptions."
Finally, seeing the waiter walking past with two origin coins in hand, Huang Bing added another sentence and closed his mouth.
Normally, he would never do such a taboo thing.
This kind of behavior of talking about one's lord behind his back is not considered a glorious thing no matter which territory it is placed in.
Can face Soma.
First I was affected by my attitude and courage, and then I was taken to eat such a "luxury" meal.
Huang Bing himself felt panicked even if he didn’t talk about getting some useful information out.
“Let’s go, I have to go to the street stalls next, so I won’t waste time”
Taking the two origin coins returned and putting them into his pocket, Somo shrugged, stood up and walked down first.
On the way to visit the center of the Origin Territory.
Sumo didn’t say anything about what happened before, and Huang Bing didn’t mention it either. It was as if it never happened.
As a guide, after faithfully completing his mission, he took Somo to the two large and two small markets in the territory.
The group returned to Sanyuan Hotel.
Huang Bing bowed slightly and rushed to other posts to make a living in the afternoon light.
But what is different from before is that after visiting the Origin Territory for more than three hours.
Now watch him leave.
Not only Su Mo sighed in his heart, but even the two warriors were speechless for a moment. They only secretly thought that they were really good friends from their ancestors, and they were lucky enough to become a part of Tianyuan territory in this life.
Huang Bing’s life.
In a sense, it is the ordinary daily life of every ordinary person in the origin territory.
Most people here have to work three to five jobs every day to ensure that they can feed themselves and have a little surplus to prepare for the next disaster.
Only a very small number of people can only do one job and accumulate supplies.
Compared with the Hope villagers far away in Tianyuan territory, the people here are not living a happy life.
Take the small vendors in the market who buy and sell things as an example.
They do not have formal jobs in the territory, which means they have to work in the territory at least six days a week.
And during these six days, the food distributed in the territory was only for three days.
With this gap of four days, they have to find a way to solve it themselves.
Either you have to cut back on your diet, eat only one meal a day, save as much rations as possible to maintain your life, and wait for the opportunity to come back like a "welfare disaster".
Either do more jobs, squeeze more of your labor force, spare as much time as possible, and earn some food.
I don’t want to die, but I don’t want to starve and become weaker and weaker.
Most people have to get up at five o'clock in the morning and start busy planning their day's schedule.
Most of them will eat some "Crystal bark" from the mountains in the morning after getting up and washing up.
This kind of tree is generally not small in size. It is basically ten meters tall. It is a specialty of the mountains in the wasteland.
Although its bark is as dry and hard as stone, it would take more than ten blows with a knife to cut off a section.
But after being boiled in water, it will slowly become soft like donkey skin until it is very chewy.
Although the bark itself contains a small amount of trace elements needed by the human body, on the other hand, it carries a large amount of plant fiber.
This kind of long hard fiber cannot be digested by the stomach of ordinary people in civilized times.
In the long run, it will only accumulate in the abdomen and gradually cause various complications.
But the good news is that humans can only digest the short soft fibers that disperse into the soup after the bark is boiled for a long time.
Although in the long run, there are still considerable risks. But compared with survival, these risks are obviously not worth mentioning.
After eating the bark soup and filling their stomachs a little, these people will go out with the things they prepared the night before.
First they had to jog all the way down from their residence on the mountain to the center of the territory.
I have to rush ahead of others, seize the position that I have already inspected, and set up my stall.
Fortunately, there is a curfew at night in the Origin Territory, and there are also strictly enforced closing and opening times.
This prevented the small vendors from getting involved maliciously and staying out at night and occupying the stalls all night long.
From half past six to half past nine.
These three hours are their personal free time.
It is naturally a good thing if you can sell it and sell it.
But if you can’t sell it, there’s nothing you can do.
When the time came, everyone could only pack their things and hurriedly followed the road they came in the morning to return to the territory and start the work arranged yesterday.
From ten o'clock to six o'clock in the afternoon, there are eight hours in between.
Think about it, what they ate throughout the whole day was all rough food that even tramps in civilized times looked down upon.
If disaster hadn't struck, there wouldn't be much to do. Sumo would have doubted whether their thin bodies would be able to handle what sounded like a heavy workload.
And these are the residents of the frontier mountain peaks who are doing better.
Looking back, we see the ordinary refugees on the mountain behind, and the passing refugees who have not yet joined the territory.
Most of them can't even get through the most basic food and clothing requirements.
People don’t know what to say for a moment.
But on the other side, compared to those refugees who still have no fixed residence and are wandering around.
These ordinary people living in the origin territory are enjoying themselves and have new goals every day.
Just like Huang Bing.
Even if he had to work four full-time jobs on his days off, he never complained or complained about being tired.
"You both go and do your work. By the way, take the money and go out to buy some food and come back."
Having understood the internal situation, he took out all the origin coins in his pocket and handed them to Two soldiers behind him, Sumo explained.
Naturally, the soldiers don't have to worry about eating.
The dry food everyone carries with them is enough to last at least ten days and a half.
That's it, not to mention the large amount of supplies stored in the storage space of the support team who are still living on the mountain.
But considering that we are now in the territory of origin, we still have to do the whole show.
Knowing that the Origin Lord had a way to monitor the territory, Sumo was naturally very careful and would never make a mistake in such a small matter.
After receiving the order, the two soldiers retreated.
At the entrance of Sanyuan Hotel, Somo was left standing alone, enjoying the sunlight that came in alone.
This point.
Except for the three people who are still sleeping.
Almost all the warriors went out for various reasons according to their previous plans, and went to different places in the origin territory to inquire about information.
Sumo would know more information he wanted just by waiting to gather at night.
“Looking at it this way, it’s really difficult to steal a corner here quietly”
“At least I have to find out where the origin lord is and what his identity is. , What method will work!"
I noticed that in the far corner, two young men whose surveillance methods were very similar to those last night were looking towards me.
Sumo let out a breath, suppressed the displeasure overflowing in his heart, turned around and walked towards the stairs of his hotel.
It is said that the King of Hell is easy to mess with, but the devil is difficult to deal with.
He was thinking about the origin lord and recruiting people.
This group of bounty hunters climbed up without any discernment and immediately took up a lot of his time and energy.
As a result, he is now at a loss even when exploring the territory.
Also.
What Sumo originally thought last night was that as long as he found out the intentions of this group of people, he would take them down with thunderous means and completely open a breakthrough in the origin territory.
But not long after, after hearing Huang Bing tell the fate of those people before, as well as the strange things that happened in the origin territory during this period.
He could only change his mind and force himself to explore the bottom line within the rules.
Thinking of this, Sumo sighed.
The Origin Territory is very strange, so strange that anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly how much hidden danger there is.
But no one really stood up and put everything out in the open.
Those ordinary people living here have no time to think about these things, so forget it.
But those managers are just like dawdling, one day is what they can survive, and one day is what they can survive.
Is it possible that they have other escape routes besides here?
Could it be that the territory of origin collapsed overnight, and could they still run away with the supplies?
"You are such an idiot. It would be a waste of effort to kill him!"
Now, after getting used to seeing the suffering in the world, Sumo has also taken it lightly. In this wasteland, the chance of being a good person is simply too low. Low.
If we really pin the hope of humans taking root in the wasteland on these people, it is better to just give up now.
Thinking like this, Somo went back to his room along the stairs.
Looking at the door that was slightly changed from when I left in the morning.
Sumo thought for a while, then silently moved to the side, listened for a while, and then pushed the door open and entered with confidence.
"Hey, my boss, you're back so early!"
"Ha, Feng Long, you should be careful with your kid!"
Smoothly close the room When he opened the door and looked at the three people who were already sitting at the table tinkering, Somo put aside all his worries for the time being, walked over with a smile and sat down on the stool by the window.
“You can’t be careful, Director, this origin territory is really weird, there are problems everywhere!”
After a good sleep, most of the fatigue on Feng Long's face dissipated, leaving only some confusion and caution.
You can see it after Somo fell asleep last night.
The results of the three people's investigation include not only the obvious findings, but also many connected clues after integration.
"What? What's wrong?"
Knowing some information that the three of them didn't know, Sumo was not in a hurry. He just stared at Feng Long quietly with his eyes fixed, waiting for the next step.
"Last night I was in charge of exploring the official agencies in the eastern region of the Origin Territory. Except for a few places where there were no inaccessible gaps, I ran all over the rest of the places."
"Guan Yu'an was exploring the opposite side of me, the official organization in the western region of the Origin Territory. During this process, what we both saw was basically the same, except for a few inaccessible places."
"Most of these places are normal, but there are three places that are simply too weird!"
Without whetting his appetite, Feng Long took out his tablet and recorded the photos taken last night. The screen is displayed.
