Night comes later in the southern Fire Region than in the central region.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the night unfolded quietly like a piece of deep silk.
The lights of the fishing boats began to gradually disappear on the river, and a long line of people walked into the edge of the water field and flickered.
The wind blew by the Lielie River, bringing with it a hint of coolness in the summer evening, gently brushing Somo's face.
No, it should be said to be an ordinary middle-aged face.
Of course, if people from the Honghua Gang territory were here, they would definitely recognize this middle-aged man as their long-lost lord Ji Wuming.
"This human skin mask is really useful."
Sumo whispered to himself, raised his hand and touched the edge of his cheek, feeling an unusually slight undulation.
However, what is surprising is that this mask not only has strong coverage, but also has excellent breathability. It seems to be integrated with the skin, making people not feel the slightest stuffiness or discomfort.
“Our dock is ahead.”
The place where the flames flickered not far away was the temporary dock of Mizuno Territory.
The man punting the boat turned his head, his dark face covered with sweat, but his eyes were shining with passion.
He looked at Sumo, with a simple and sincere smile on his face and sighed: "You are also lucky to meet me here, otherwise you would have to wait at least two times to walk over there. It’s only three days.”
“I’m sorry, Uncle Gong, I’m afraid I’ll have to ask you to take more care of me in the future.”
“We are all from China, and we have come to the wasteland. We should also help each other.”
As he spoke, Uncle Gong couldn't help but reach out and touch his right pocket. There were a dozen hard candies that made people want to lick their lips just thinking about them.
He also didn’t expect that a random wanderer he met on the shore would be willing to use these precious hard candies to ask him to help bring them to his territory.
You must know that in today's world, in addition to food being very precious, these high-calorie foods are also of eye-catching value.
If exchanged at the supply office in the territory, these candies are enough to exchange for two days of adult rations.
And he works hard on the river every day, risking his life, and what he can gain in one day is only the same.
"Old Gong, what a strange face, where does this guy come from?"
While he was talking, he saw two more small sampans coming slowly on the river.
They shuttled lightly between the night and the river fog, like a light boat with two leaves, slowly approaching.
The two fishermen on the sampan were also tanned. They held long bamboo poles in their hands and skillfully controlled the direction of the boat.
On one of the small sampans, a bearded man spoke first. His voice was loud and powerful, as if it could penetrate the fog on the river. Him
He looked at Somo curiously, with a bit of confusion and inquiry on his face.
Although in appearance, the middle-aged man in Somo today looks very ordinary. At first glance, he is no different from the local survivors. However, upon closer inspection, both in terms of clothing and temperament, he looks very ordinary. There is a clear difference.
How can it be impossible to pretend?
Don't look at those spies in TV series. They can quickly disguise themselves in every environment they go to, imitating the behavior and speech of the locals and blending in.
But in fact, their disguised temperament can only be similar in appearance, but not in spirit.
That is to say, most people are not too wary of outsiders, so they can often get away with it.
In the wasteland, since these fishermen dared to come to the river to fish alone without knowing anything about the Giant Dragon Immortal River, how could they not be vigilant.
Therefore, Sumo was too lazy to pretend, so it would be more convenient to be open and honest.
“This is Ji Long, Brother Ji. He just came from out of town and wanted to find a place to stay. When I met him, I thought about it and brought him to our territory to settle down.”
"Brother Ji, where did you come from? You are not ordinary." The young fisherman on the other boat immediately laughed and said: "It's so chaotic outside now, how brave you are to go alone."
"I am also lucky. If Uncle Gong was kind enough to give me a ride, I don't know how much trouble I would have encountered."
Su Mo raised his hands and clasped his fists, and performed a Jianghu salute to each of the two people.
This is a necessary procedure when strangers meet in the wasteland.
Everyone will go their own way to test it out. If they are willing to talk more, it means an opportunity for in-depth communication. If Sumo is unwilling to talk more, then everyone will not join in and cause trouble.
However, visible to the naked eye, the expressions of the two of them changed somewhat after Somo performed the fist-clasping ceremony.
The middle-aged man was okay and could barely respond with a smile, but the young man immediately stopped moving towards him, with a look of fear on his face.
His eyes were fixed on the black object naturally exposed on Somo's waist after he raised his hand.
In modern times, some people may think that this thing is a fake and a fake to fool people.
But in the wasteland, basically no one would be stupid enough to use a fake gun to embolden their courage.
After all, if a ruthless person who is not afraid of death likes this gun and has no way to fight back, then he will be called a bad guy every day and the earth and the earth will not respond.
"It seems that Uncle Gong is quite courageous."
The young man supported the bamboo pole, laughed twice, and then turned around and left.
If he met someone like Sumo in the wild, he would not have the guts to stop the boat and take him away.
If the other party had evil intentions, he would die without knowing how.
And this also means that he and Lao Gong are not on the same path.
On the other side, the bearded man laughed twice but did not leave immediately, but did not come closer.
There was a distance of seven or eight meters between the two sides, and some people were talking about going towards the pier.
Soon, when we arrived at a place with dense firelight near the pier, Bearded Man breathed a sigh of relief.
What smart people do.
Sumo showed a hint of appreciation in his eyes. The harsh environment of the wasteland has indeed trained many ordinary people into qualified survivors.
In the situation just now, if he really had malicious intentions, the best way to deal with it would be to stay still like Beard, observing the situation at all times and waiting for opportunities.
If a young man leaves so recklessly, if he is targeted, he will die without a burial place.
"Lao Zhang, you have gained a lot."
Putting the boat on the wooden piles at the dock, the beard lifted the straw curtain on the sampan, and Uncle Gong looked over and took a look. , with a trace of envy in his eyes.
Although the game has put a lot of aquatic creatures into the Dragon Immortal River, considering the length of the entire Immortal River, there are actually not many divided into each section.
After a busy day, he only caught four forearm-long grass carp and a few shrimps.
In addition to six grass carps, there was also a big fish in the bearded fish cabin.
The big fish's body is almost as long as an adult's calf, and its scales are shining with a healthy luster. You can tell at a glance that it is the leader in the river.
"You are so lucky. With such a big fish, you really made a fortune today!"
Lao Zhang smiled, showing a proud look and preparing to sneer. sentence.
But then he found that Su Mo had also looked over, staring closely at the fish cabin, and quickly changed his words: "Where is it? I paid for it with my life. If I hadn't fished in the water, where would I have found such hard goods?"
"Go into the water?" Uncle Gong was stunned, and immediately nodded: "Then you are indeed lucky and courageous."
The giant dragon fairy river that is hundreds of meters wide, even some people who are proficient in water skills Even the water monkeys dare not go down to test it.
Besides, not all underwater is "food", there are also beings who regard them as food.
There are endless rumors about water monsters, alien races, frogmen, and fishmen. To sum up, it is dangerous on the water and life will be lost underwater.
Since Bearded Man has the guts to go into the water, he has the same nature as he dares to stop the boat to communicate with a stranger with a gun.
They are all exchanging lives for money, there is no need to be jealous and envious. "Do you sell your fish?"
Just as the two went to the pier to talk, Somo also climbed up on the handrail on one side.
Lao Zhang subconsciously wanted to refuse, but before he could speak, Lao Gong nodded excitedly.
"Sell it, why don't you sell it? We go into the water just to make a living. How can we say we don't sell it?"
The Hoshino Alliance has at least three to five thousand fishermen. Even if it is calculated based on two fish per person, one day The output is also around 10,000 pieces.
Although there are more than 100,000 people in the alliance and it is easy to consume, it is inevitable that there will still be situations where the price cannot be sold.
What's more, even if it can be sold at a normal price, the candies he got in the afternoon will not be as popular.
Even if you don’t go to the supply office to exchange it, if you are short of anything in the future, you can easily exchange it from other people.
"A fish"
Sumo thought for a while and showed five fingers.
If this price were placed in Tianyuan territory, it would be a pure beast.
The grass carp worth at least fifteen iron coins can be exchanged for about three taels of hard candies, about sixty pieces.
But now, the sixty pieces have become five, which has shrunk twelve times.
Even so, Lao Gong still looked surprised when he heard the exchange price, almost thinking that Su Mo was crazy.
"I'll change it, I'll give it all to you!"
Old Gong said, neatly twisting a braided straw rope, passing it through the gills of the grass carp, and tied the four All strung together.
Lao Zhang opened his mouth, a little confused as to why Lao Gong was so eager.
However, the next second, he froze suddenly, with an incredible look in his eyes.
"Sugar? You have sugar?!"
It can only be said that the outer packaging of a certain Alpine product is too recognizable to Chinese people.
Lao Zhang’s thoughts were stirred and he couldn’t help but exclaimed.
“Damn it, keep your voice down, are you going to die?”
Lao Gong turned his head and glared. Fortunately, no one around him paid attention. Everyone was happily checking the fish, and The dealers who arrived were discussing the recycling price.
"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Lao Zhang took a breath, nodded and apologized quickly, which was in sharp contrast to his sturdy appearance with beard.
Tang, it doesn’t matter that this outsider has a gun in his hand, he actually still has candy.
This can be considered a strategic material.
As one of the main energy sources of the human body, glucose can be quickly absorbed and utilized by the body, which is very important in some situations where there is an urgent need to restore physical strength.
Especially in the anxious stage of the tug-of-war, if one side has a few candies, it may be able to change the situation of the battle.
"Do you want to change?" Sumo turned his head.
"I want that big fish too. I'll give you three times the price, so you won't suffer a loss."
"Change!"
Lao Zhang didn't even think about it for a moment. Without hesitation, he nodded decisively.
He was even afraid that Somo would regret it, so he threaded the thread with the straw rope a few minutes faster than Lao Gong.
As soon as Somo counted forty-five candies, he had already tied the fish together neatly.
And this guy is quite smart. He found a straw bag from somewhere, and now even ten fish can be put in it and walked around.
"Okay, I won't take advantage of you. I'll give you another one."
Sumo smiled, took out another one from his backpack and threw it over.
After Lao Zhang took it, he smiled so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes. Lao Gong on the side stamped his feet in annoyance.
There are straw bags everywhere on the pier that were put down as fish traps and were bitten by fish. He could exchange them for a piece of candy. He would be at a loss.
"I don't know if you are here temporarily, or are you here to stay permanently?"
Having benefited, Lao Zhang consciously changed his title and never mentioned Brother Ji again.
Such a person is obviously not from the same world as them. It would be fine if they can get some more benefits. If you want to get closer, don't even think about it.
"Sit down and find someone. Once you find him, you won't be able to leave him." Sumo said casually.
"Relatives?" Lao Gong interrupted. He didn't want all the benefits to be taken away by Lao Zhang alone.
“It doesn’t matter, I’m looking for someone else.”
Oh.
Bearded Hu Lao Zhang and Lao Gong looked at each other, and they could see a hint of fear in each other's eyes.
These days, there are still ruthless people who come out to find someone on behalf of others?
Whether what Sumo is saying now is true or false, this guy is definitely not simple.
“Why don’t you tell me your name, characteristics, or general information, maybe we know each other?”
“My opponent, there are more than 100,000 people in the Hoshino Alliance. If we know each other, we will know each other. It won’t take you any more effort.”
Lao Zhang also changed his words, and the two of them rubbed their hands eagerly.
"As for the name, Luo You, about 1.7 meters tall, thirty-six years old, from the north."
Sumo recalled: "There should be two children with him, a boy and a girl. About sixteen or seventeen years old.”
This is a very detailed characteristic.
Lao Zhang and Lao Gong thought hard. Although they wanted to make this money, they couldn't find such a person in their memory for a long time.
It’s not their fault. The Hoshino Alliance is actually composed of twelve small territories.
Two hundred kilometers down the river, twelve territories have joined the so-called Starfield Alliance.
There are more than 100,000 people in the alliance, so it is not easy to find someone.
"How about we go and find out for you?"
Anyway, he still wanted to make this money, Lao Zhang gritted his teeth, and the duck that didn't want to get his mouth flew away.
As expected, money can make the world go round. Tianyuan has basically restored modern order, but the outside world is still a pure wasteland.
"Whoever found the person for me, this belongs to me."
Of course Sumo was happy to see this situation, so he took out a small transparent bag from his backpack, which contained more than half a bag of hard candies. At least There is about a pound.
The eyes of the two people lit up again. After a quick discussion, they went to one side and kept asking fishermen and vendors along the way.
After only half an hour, I saw Lao Gong running over in a hurry with a middle-aged man.
“Boss, is the person you are looking for Luo Laizi?”
"Cripple?"
