My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1411
[1401. Chapter 1381 My uncle is here, do you think I’m a good man?]
Unlike Xi Ruyue and other warriors who fought bravely on the battlefield and became famous in one battle, Luo You’s fame did not come from his bravery in charging into battle.
He was not like Qiao Yuansheng, who became famous in another way by establishing an identity system that caused great controversy.
Luo You’s talent is displayed in his own unique way.
He is a “thief”.
But this thief is not that thief. He is not an ordinary petty thief, but a monster with super language talent, an amazing genius.
By constantly deciphering various alien languages, Luo You repeatedly led his team to sneak into the alien camp and obtained countless crucial information. These information not only provided valuable intelligence support for human strategic deployment, but also laid the foundation for victory in the war between humans and aliens.
It can be said that in the early series of battles of Longqi, Luo You’s contribution accounted for at least 20%.
Luo You’s most famous battle demonstrated his extraordinary language talent and strategic vision.
Through meticulous observation and analysis, he identified the spies of the Demon Soul Clan lurking within the Dragon Flag from some subtle flaws in the language, and then cleverly used these spies to pass on false information, causing the Demon Soul Clan to fall into chaos and confusion.
In the end, the Demon Soul Clan was almost completely wiped out by the ambush of Dragon Flag’s army.
However, it is regrettable that the loss this time was so heavy that the aliens fully realized the threat posed by Luo You and sent out assassins at all costs to get rid of this language genius.
When people just heard the name “Luo You” from the alien race, the next thing came was the obituary issued by Longqi.
What a pity.
It is as bright as a shooting star, and as short-lived as a shooting star.
If it happened again, Su Mo would not be willing to release such people to other gathering places. Even if they were people from the Dragon Flag, he would intercept them in advance.
But the information we collected didn’t mention that Luo You was a cripple?
Su Mo hesitated for a moment and asked, “I don’t know if he is crippled, but do the other features match?”
“That’s right, that’s right!”
The middle-aged man nodded excitedly. “Luo Quezi happens to have two children. The older one is called Luo Xiang, and the younger one is called Luo Jiao. Xiang sent me some goods some time ago. As for whether his father is 1.7 meters tall, I don’t know, but he is not tall, and his accent is also from the north.”
As soon as he heard the other party accurately say the names of the two children, Su Mo instantly realized that he had found the right person.
Perhaps there was a change between the real wasteland and the future ruins, Luo You actually turned from a healthy man into a cripple.
It’s really sad.
Fortunately, this time he no longer needs to charge into the enemy lines and go inside the alien race to gather information.
“Take me there, and you can divide the reward among yourselves.”
Su Mo took out the bag of candy from his backpack, thought for a moment, and then took out an extra bar of chocolate and gave it to the middle-aged man who was speaking.
“This is yours, take me there now.”
“Boss, you really are the boss!” The thin middle-aged man took it as if he had found a treasure, weighed it, and grinned to his ears: “My name is Ma Benchun, you can just call me Xiao Ma!”
If you take this chocolate to the Supply Department, it can at least be exchanged for a week’s worth of food for an adult.
And he just led the way, and the round trip took less than half a night, so he made a lot of money.
“Luo Quezi’s home is over there in the reed marsh. We can take a boat there in less than three hours.”
“Take my boat. I’m strong and I can row fast!”
Old Zhang with a beard ran back in a hurry, only to see that the transaction was over, so he immediately patted his chest and started selling again.
Oh my god, where did this God of Wealth come from? He can give out such good things at will.
I don’t know if Luo Guizi’s ancestors were filled with evil to have been able to get involved with such a person.
“How can I take your boat? Boss Ji… always takes my boat in the afternoon. Are you trying to steal him?” Old Gong was not willing to be outdone and immediately said unhappily.
He pulled the person back.
He was also the one who found Ma Benchun.
This old Zhang is not a decent person at all. He went against his conscience when he saw the God of Wealth.
“Uh” Lao Zhang scratched his head awkwardly, and realized that his current behavior seemed a bit excessive.
It was Su Mo who spoke up to smooth things over.
“You three come with me, uncles. I’ll have to trouble you to help me collect some more things at the dock. I’ll bring them over as gifts. Do you understand?”
“Yes, of course we do.”
The bearded man breathed a sigh of relief and immediately started laughing. As long as he could keep up with the God of Wealth, that would be enough.
Although Old Gong was somewhat reluctant to have someone get involved, he did not dare to refute Su Mo’s decision.
The two of them ran to the busy dock purchasing point and quickly bought a lot of things.
Considering that it is a gift to someone, it is naturally not appropriate to bring all the fish with you.
With his rich experience and vision, Lao Zhang carefully selected several relatively rare smuggled goods. He specifically selected some shrimps as thick as fingers, which were delicious and could be eaten after blanching, as well as palm-sized crabs with rich roe, which were the best of the best.
In addition, he also selected some other seafood to ensure the richness and diversity of the gifts.
Old Gong was much more practical. He first asked Ma Benchun about Luo Quezi’s recent situation. After learning that Luo Quezi was in poor health recently and needed recuperation, he bought two palm-sized pieces of wild boar meat with skin and a bag of fresh wild vegetables.
Food is the most important thing for people, and these are the hardest of the hard things.
Su Mo originally thought that these two people wanted to take the opportunity to make a profit from the price difference from him, but he still felt ashamed after hearing the price.
A small pound of wild boar meat with skin only requires sixty hard candies, which is equivalent to about fifteen iron coins.
Wild vegetables are also not worth much, a bag of them only costs eight candies.
As for the free seafood, it was cheap, costing only thirty-five candies.
“This is a naked trade deficit.”
Synthetic glucose converted from starch by enzymatic hydrolysis is extremely low cost.
Even if the sugar factories in Tianyuan Territory only operate at 30% of their capacity, they still produce thousands of kilograms every day.
Perhaps it’s because the production is too large. After eating a round, everyone still feels that this thing is greasy. They only put two in their pockets to moisten their throats when they go out to work. At other times, they don’t even look at it, which causes the price to become lower and lower.
Fortunately, before coming out this time, Su Mo wanted to test the popularity of each product outside, so he brought two boxes of about 100 kilograms of counterfeit Elbis hard candy and put them in the storage module.
It only cost less than two kilograms in total. We directly got a lot of supplies and found the target.
Therefore, Su Mo did not care whether the two had falsely reported the numbers or not, and simply let them pay the bill and leave.
“Boss, do you want anything else?”
The peddler with hard candy in his pocket hurried out, his eyes following the wooden boat that was getting farther and farther away, and he couldn’t help shouting loudly.
The shouts echoed around the dock, attracting some fishermen who were originally busy or chatting around.
However, when they found that the sampan the hawker was pointing to was getting farther and farther away from the pier and gradually disappeared from sight, everyone’s curiosity dissipated and they all returned to their own busy work.
The hustle and bustle at the dock soon returned to normal, and the scene just now seemed to be just a brief ripple, which passed across the lake and returned to calm.
However, the vendors who received candies gathered together and talked about it.
They took out the candies in their hands and passed them around to each other, with expressions of curiosity and confusion on their faces.
“This candy looks so new. I wonder where this dragon from across the river has come from again.”
“It seems that the person was brought back by Old Gong. Let’s ask him tomorrow. This is a rare item.”
“Hey, I’m lucky tonight. The Logistics Department has received a lot of these things recently. I guess they are preparing to communicate with Jianyang Xiuhui.”
“Hush, keep your voice down. This has nothing to do with us anyway. The worst that can happen is that we can just run away.”
“It’s easy to say, but where can we run to? This war is really harmful. We finally settled down and now there are a lot of troubles. Damn it.”
“Come on, just go do what you need to do. Stop standing here and talking nonsense. It’s useless.”
The group of people dispersed noisily, and no one paid attention to the origin of the candy.
Anyway, there are so many outsiders, and there must be someone who has some good stuff in his hands. If this is rare and that is rare, won’t they be exhausted?
“No one is catching up, it seems we don’t need to bother.”
Old Zhang wiped the sweat from his head, put away the bamboo pole, looked behind him, and smiled with satisfaction.
Money can move people’s hearts. In the wasteland, even relatives occasionally betray each other. Who can blindly trust outsiders?
Fortunately, the vendors they traded with all had a good reputation on the dock, so it seemed that they had not caused any big trouble.
“Is this situation common?” Su Mo sat at the bow of the boat, fanning himself slowly with a wooden fan.
“It used to be very common, but it’s gotten better recently.”
Ma Benchun leaned over and said, “After things settle down, everyone starts to follow the rules, but next time things get chaotic, it’s hard to say what will happen.”
The next time there is chaos, it could be because the Star Alliance encounters a tough enemy, or it could be a disaster that comes suddenly.
Or even if factional conflicts arise internally, they may lead to an instant deterioration of the living environment.
“Everyone still cherishes a stable life. No one would take risks unless they couldn’t survive.”
“Where is Luo Quezi? Tell me about him.”
There is so much more to talk about when you are on a boat.
Knowing that Su Mo was generous, Ma Benchun simply told him everything he knew.
“I deal in medicinal herbs. Actually, I haven’t known Luo Quezi for long. I first met him when I went to the reed marsh to collect herbs. I ran into his son who came over and bought a lot of herbs. That’s when I learned about Luo Quezi.”
“This man is indeed a miserable person, raising two children alone to survive in the wasteland. I felt sorry for him, so I gave the purchase channel of medicinal materials in the reed marsh to his son. He sent me a batch of goods last week.”
“As for him, he is quite talkative and doesn’t have any bad intentions. It’s just that his left leg must have been seriously injured, and now he can only walk with crutches. His son bought medicine for Luo Quezi’s treatment.”
“Buy medicine? What’s their source of income?” Su Mo thought for a moment and asked.
Seeing a doctor and treating illness are undoubtedly the two biggest difficulties in the wasteland.
Being able to afford medicinal herbs proves that Luo You should be doing well, so he shouldn’t be crippled, right?
“Source of income?”
Ma Benchun hesitated for a moment and said, “I didn’t pay much attention, but he probably isn’t an honest person.”
“This is a reward for you. Please tell me in detail.”
Isn’t it just adding money? That’s easy. Su Mo took out two candies from his bag and threw them over.
Ma Benchun was stunned for a moment before taking it. Without any hesitation on his face, he immediately smiled and said:
“You’ve asked the right person. Luo Quezi is very good at water transportation. His son is in charge of the boat and he is responsible for making nests. Every time he goes out, he gets a lot of harvest. It’s just that the water storage in the reed marsh is not good. If it were us, we could get as much in one day as others in four or five days. If not making money, who would?”
“Now that you mention it, I seem to have an impression. Was that little king fish caught last time by their family?” Old Zhang suddenly turned around and added.
“Oh, yes, that’s what they did. I heard they sold ten kilograms of flour.”
Good water transport?
Su Mo secretly kept this in mind.
Being able to decipher the language of other races shows that Luo You has a strong observation ability, which is actually the same talent he uses in making nests.
It seems that none of the talents who can become famous in the future ruins are simple people.
Even though he has a lame leg and is raising two children, he can still live a better life than ordinary survivors.
There were two people rowing the sampan alternately, and the speed was very fast.
Before Ma Benchun finished telling the interesting stories about the wasteland that he knew, the boat had already arrived near the reed marsh.
After tying the boat to the dock in the reed marsh and picking up the gifts they had brought, the three of them, led by Ma Benchun, headed towards Luo Quezi’s home.
After walking for about ten minutes, Su Mo saw the target, which was a mud house that could barely provide shelter from the wind and rain.
But what was surprising was that even at this point, Luo Quezi’s house was still dark.
Suddenly, a black shadow flashed out from the bushes beside the earthenware shed.
It’s a girl.
With Su Mo’s eyesight and reaction ability, he discovered the black shadow at the first moment.
However, he did not make any move. Instead, he watched the shadow pounce on Ma Benchun: “Uncle Ma, please save my father and my brother. They are blocked in the river and can’t come back now.”
“Girl?”
Ma Benchun subconsciously wanted to hide, but after seeing the figure clearly, he slowed down his movements.
“What are you talking about? Why are your father and brother blocked again?” After saying that, he couldn’t help but look at Su Mo.
What a coincidence.
If he encountered such trouble normally, he would want to run away as soon as possible and would not bother to listen.
But now, he still doesn’t mind pretending.
“They are the families at the entrance of the village, the Su family, the Zhang family, the Liu family next door, and Old Song from Shuihua.” The girl counted on her fingers anxiously and reported seven or eight names in one breath. “They actually united and accused my father of stealing their nest, and now they are demanding a huge amount of compensation.”
hiss.
Lao Zhang and Lao Gong gasped, looked at each other, and smacked their lips in surprise.
The reed marsh and the water splashes are at least fifty kilometers apart; the enemy’s range is quite wide.
And it is rare to offend so many people. How can ordinary people have such ability?
“Ah, this.” Ma Benchun was also a little dumbfounded and didn’t know what to do.
The three people’s eyes turned to Su Mo at the same time. Luo Jiao also turned her head and fixed her eyes on the middle-aged man with a sallow face.
“Luo Jiao?” Su Mo called softly.
“Who are you?” The girl sensed something was wrong, a hint of suspicion flashed in her eyes, and she instinctively took half a step back.
However, Su Mo smiled and took two steps forward. He stretched out his hand and gently touched the girl’s head. His tone was full of doting: “Jiao’er, I’m your cousin. How come you don’t even remember me?”
“Uncle?” The girl was stunned. She tried hard to search her memory, but could not find a face that matched Su Mo.
But then she realized that now was not the time to worry about her identity, what was more important was the safety of her father and brother.
So he hurriedly said, “Uncle, please go and save my father and brother. They are surrounded by those people on the water. If I hadn’t seen the opportunity and hid, I’m afraid…”
Before he finished speaking, a few frivolous voices suddenly sounded nearby.
“It turns out that this little bitch hasn’t run away yet, she’s hiding.”
“There are still a few fat sheep.”
“Don’t talk nonsense, that’s Lao Ma, I know him.”
“Let him get out of here right away. Even if the king of heaven comes here today, he can’t save Luo Gou.”
Six young figures walked out from behind the mud house. The young man in the lead was smiling and had a dagger on his shoulder.
The rest of the people also held various weapons in their hands, which shone coldly under the reflection of the moonlight.
Ma Benchun and the other two’s faces suddenly changed when they heard this. Even though Su Mo was standing here, they still ran away.
There aren’t so many rules in the wasteland now. You are naturally weaker when you enter someone else’s territory.
They can’t afford any consequences of staying here.
“Old man, why don’t you leave? You want to die, right?”
Su Mo seemed to be frightened and stood there motionless.
The young man who spoke first said impatiently and couldn’t help waving the dagger in his hand.
It had been a long time since he had been provoked like this. Even the lords of territories with millions of people had to be respectful to him. Su Mo felt both surprised and amused.
No, you really think I’m a good person?
