My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1414
[1404. Chapter 1384 Answer: We have a common enemy!]
Finally, their eyes met and they stared at each other.
Luo You frowned slightly, trying to read more information from the other party’s eyes, and the other party did not show any weakness, responding to him with a firm look.
The two of them just stared at each other quietly, as if they were engaged in a silent contest. The atmosphere became extremely tense and solemn.
The three people who were just chatting and laughing not far away suddenly fell silent and huddled together after noticing this strange change.
In just a few seconds, several scenarios flashed through their minds.
“Tsk tsk, doesn’t this scene look like a rich family’s eldest son escaping and then being found by the butler?”
“You mean Brother Ji is a butler?”
“Um, I didn’t say that. I just said, isn’t this feeling a bit similar?”
“I don’t think so. It’s more like brothers who had a conflict over something and agreed not to have any contact with each other forever, but then one of them became successful and felt bad about it, so he came to rescue his down-and-out brother.”
“Well, now that you mention it, it does make sense. If the two of them had deeply loved the same woman, then the feeling would be even more correct.”
“Hehe, no wonder Boss Ji is so nice to those two kids, could it be…”
The three of them whispered to each other and couldn’t help laughing as they talked.
It’s really not surprising that they would think this way, but their current actions are indeed a bit strange.
After walking about a hundred meters forward, Luo You finally breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head back.
“Do I have any other choice?”
“Of course. If you choose to give up, I will turn around and leave now.” Su Mo looked at the room in the distance where the fire had already been lit, and said softly:
“Give the two children something as an apology for my rash visit.”
“Huh? Why?” Luo You’s tone revealed a hint of doubt. He could tell that Su Mo was not lying, and his intuition kept telling him that if he chose to give up now, this mysterious man would really turn around and leave.
This result was a little beyond Luo You’s expectations.
Since the other party was able to find him and learned that he was actually studying the language of a foreign race, they must have put a lot of thought into investigating. If they leave now, they will not be able to recover their initial investment.
Do I really have a fourth master and a cousin?
In Luo You’s opinion, perhaps only true relatives can do this.
At a certain moment, he felt that even if the man behind him was not his cousin, he must have some relationship with him.
“It’s a simple truth. We have a common enemy. I need you to join us so that we can better deal with the aliens.”
“But if I kill you or hinder what you are doing now, wouldn’t that be helping the enemy get rid of a big trouble?” Su Mo said with a smile.
Before they knew it, they had walked through the lush path and returned to the mud house where the Luo family lived.
After making sure that the surroundings were safe and there were no hidden threats, the two children spontaneously got busy.
They lit the stove and took out the bacon that the family had not been willing to eat for a long time, intending to welcome this cousin who had come from afar.
This kind of cuteness and understanding that needs no words is deeply heartbreaking.
“How do you know that I study foreign languages?” Seeing this scene, Luo You’s thoughts were finally shaken.
If his leg wasn’t broken, he would never have left so rashly with a stranger.
But now, with him being a burden, the two children are going to suffer far more trouble than they could have imagined.
Maybe sometimes he shouldn’t continue to be selfish and should consider other people’s feelings.
“Is it important?”
“It’s really not important, but I want to know.”
“As long as you come to my territory, I will tell you the answer immediately.”
Long before coming here, Su Mo had guessed that these smart people might have some quirks, and even his face might not be able to handle them.
But no matter what these people think, just go back to the territory first.
At that time, even if these people still insist on leaving or making other choices, he will be able to give them appropriate help.
This is both a help to humans and a weakening of alien races.
“Your territory? Are you the lord?”
“Yes, the purpose of my coming out this time is to find some people like you.”
“Rare, really rare. This is the first time I’ve heard of a lord coming out to look for someone on his own.” Luo You smiled and roughly understood the scale of the other party’s territory.
As for the lord of their Reed Marsh, his territory has less than 20,000 people, and it is difficult to see the lord once in ten days or half a month.
He has never seen the leader of the Xingye Alliance in person since Lu Weidang joined the alliance.
By making this comparison, he guessed that Su Mo’s territory might only have a few thousand or tens of thousands of people.
Maybe even fewer, taking that rare elite route.
In the world channel, Luo You has seen advertisements from territories that only select top talents more than once.
There are usually only a few thousand people in their territories, but their development speed far exceeds that of territories with 100,000 people, and in some aspects they can even be compared with territories with 1 million people. And because there are very few encumbrances, they are not limited by their size and can better focus on a certain aspect.
As for the lords of these elite territories, they are basically different from ordinary people.
People like Su Mo who came out to work on their own can be found among the vast crowd studying foreign languages.
It may seem a little far-fetched at first glance, but if you think about it carefully, the various behaviors fit the profile of these elite lords very well.
“I won’t be discriminated against if I go to your territory with my two children, right?” After making up his mind, Luo You started to worry about other things.
The biggest reason why the elite territory has developed so fast is that it has no burdens to hold it back.
He thought he could keep up with the progress with two children, but it was hard to say whether others would feel the same way.
“You always want to protect them, but without your daughter today, you probably don’t know what you will have to endure before you can escape. Face the reality, this is a wasteland, do you think you can protect them forever?”
Su Mo could understand a father’s desire to protect his children, but he also had to give them some reminders to avoid any bloody situations from happening later.
The reason why he came to Luo You first was because the three of them, father and son, were rare talents.
Luo You has a strong ability of observation. Not only can he decipher the language of other races, he is also a natural scout.
The youngest daughter, Luo Jiao, is calm and has strong analytical skills, and together with Luo You, she is able to repeatedly inflict heavy damage on the alien race.
As for Luo Xiang, judging from the information, this kid can be regarded as a mini version of Feng Long, and also has a very high training value.
Before he accidentally leaked the news out of recklessness and killed Luo You, he was just an ordinary team leader with a fighting talent that ordinary people envied.
But after causing Luo You to be killed by aliens, he suddenly transformed into a qualified commander.
Until the future ruins disaster Yongding, he was still one of the generals active on the Dragon Flag front and good at assault command.
Now it is not known whether it was Luo You’s lameness that made Luo Xiang enter maturity early.
Anyway, even according to the information, without Luo You, the two can still live better than ordinary people.
“I”
“Okay, pack up and we’ll leave tomorrow.”
Looking at Luo Jiao coming out, Su Mo raised his head and smiled, “Be careful not to let the two children find out. They are not as naive as you. They always have some unrealistic fantasies.”
Innocent?
This was the first time someone said this to him, and Luo You gave a bitter smile but did not refute it.
In a sense, he is indeed quite naive.
In fact, it has been a long time since the people upstream and downstream of the reed marsh have been jealous of their harvests.
But Luo You always felt that although they were jealous, these people would not take action because of it.
However, the result was a slap in the face.
It was his naivety that led his family into danger.
If Su Mo had not appeared in time, I don’t know what kind of trouble would have ended up happening.
At this moment, he was still naively thinking about how to protect the two children, but ignored their thoughts.
Su Mo’s naked revelation of the reality made him feel uncomfortable, but he had to admit it from the bottom of his heart.
“Push your father in. Your uncle has brought you some other gifts.”
Lao Ma and the other two brought over the things they had bought at the dock. Luo Jiao took a look and said in surprise, “Wild boar meat!”
Wild boar meat with skin is obviously more tempting than fatless fish.
Luo Xiang also ran out after hearing that, the corner of his mouth that was raised was even harder to suppress than AK.
However, neither of them was in a hurry to accept the gift, but looked at Luo You.
After getting a slight nod of affirmation from the latter, he happily took it and rushed into the kitchen.
“Don’t worry, my uncle has some seasonings here, you can use them too.”
In addition to salt and pepper, Suma took out six bottles and jars.
The can of crushed Wanwei spores made everyone present shiver as soon as it was opened.
Not only Lao Ma and the other two were unable to take their eyes away from the fragrance, even Luo You swallowed his saliva physiologically.
At the same time, this scene also made Luo You further verify his judgment.
Only those elite territories would pay so much attention to food and bring so many seasonings with them when going out.
Most people are wrong. There is no such requirement in ordinary territories.
Everyone is still troubled by how to eat enough, and further enjoyment is completely nonsense.
Snapped.
Snap.
The firewood burned in the stove pit, making crisp popping sounds from time to time.
While the family was cooking, Lao Ma and the other two went out for a walk and took the initiative to take on the responsibility of keeping watch.
Su Mo sat in the corner, chatting with Luo You.
Because there were two children around, Luo You did not ask any overly explicit questions, but instead asked in a subtle way about things that interested him.
For example, the current situation in the wasteland, the game between the major territories, and the future development direction.
At first Su Mo was happy to answer, but he soon discovered that Luo You was simply a curious baby.
For an ordinary piece of clothing, he asked questions all the way from the collection of raw materials to the selection of weaving techniques, not leaving out any details.
“No. Although I am the lord, I don’t know everything.”
Su Mo held his head and shook his head. He thought, shouldn’t these things be studied by the small players in the territory themselves?
He could barely understand the first generation of weaving technology, but after several rounds of market competition, the threshold became higher and higher, and there were several piles of technical materials piled up.
I also heard that there are players who are into handicraft enthusiasts who have figured out how to make clothes with special properties, and have even distributed a lot of them to players who are into scavengers for testing on a trial basis.
If all this were told to Luo You, I wonder how many questions this guy would ask.
“Let’s talk about fishing. How did you find so many fish?”
“It’s very simple.” Luo You said naturally: “I deciphered some of the frogman’s language and learned from them that there is a medicine called “frog meal”. After diluting it in water, it can instantly attract fish to gather and catch. Unfortunately, I didn’t find out how to make it. I could only study their finished products and finally imitated a weakened version of frog meal.”
Frogmen’s food is fish, but of course they don’t fish honestly like humans.
Using special drugs to attract fish to gather and then feast on them is a necessary skill for every frogman who wants to survive.
But unfortunately, not all frogmen are qualified to know how to make this special medicine.
At least the few frogmen that Luo You just started observing and studying were not qualified to know how to make this drug. They could only trade it from other frogmen for use, thus establishing the exploiting class within the entire frogman group.
“What about your leg?”
“After discovering the wonders of frog gathering, I tried to find out the specific production method of this medicine and captured several frogmen to interrogate them. But I didn’t expect that one time when I interrogated the frogmen.” Having said this, Luo You turned his head and looked at Luo Xiang who was busy in front of the stove, and smiled with relief:
“The past is past and there is no point in regretting it. It is better to learn from these lessons and prepare for future actions. In short, there is absolutely no room for easing between humans and aliens. Perhaps from the moment I started targeting them, I was destined to end up with the same ending.”
“Stretch your legs out so I can see.”
Su Mo lifted up Luo You’s disabled left leg, opened up his trouser leg and saw the shocking injury underneath.
Just where the fascia connects below the knee, there is a huge bite wound.
Judging from the size and shape of the row of tiny holes on the wound, they would just match the frogman’s fangs.
Although the surface of the hole had scabbed over and healed, and bright red flesh had grown out, the bitten-off fascia was unable to heal naturally, causing the left leg to be unable to exert force and become semi-disabled.
Of course, this was a blessing in disguise. It was only because the frogman’s bite force was not strong that Luo You was able to keep his entire leg. If it were the crocodile man, the entire leg would probably have been bitten off.
“You’re lucky. Only some fascia was broken, and you recovered well afterwards.”
Su Mo pressed back and forth, especially on the wounds, and stopped before Luo You was about to scream out in pain.
“Can I still cure this?”
This is the first time I’ve heard someone say after an examination that the leg was useless without some euphemism.
Luo You was stunned for a moment, then looked over suddenly, his face full of hope and desire.
I could have endured the darkness if I had not seen the light.
From a normal person he suddenly became disabled and he was almost equated with a burden.
Including today’s situation, if he was in good health, the two of them could calmly jump into the water and swim away.
But the other party seized on this point, which put them in a dilemma and forced them to survive in the cracks.
Even with two children around, Luo You still had thoughts of suicide more than once when it was late at night.
“In what capacity are you asking me?”
“identity?”
Luo You was stunned for a moment, then reacted: “Lord, can I still cure this?”
“That depends on your performance. After all, I don’t run an orphanage.”
The words fell.
Su Mo smiled, and Luo You, who was sitting opposite him, also smiled.
He had to admit that this was definitely the best news he had heard in the more than two months since he became disabled.
none of them.
Even if he could only recover the most basic mobility, Luo You was confident that he could achieve some results.
“Dad, cousin, Uncle Ma’s meal is ready, come and eat.”
“okay.”
People feel refreshed when happy things happen.
In the past, he needed Luo Xiang’s help to get out of bed, but today Luo You insisted on getting out of bed on his own using crutches.
They noticed that Luo You’s spirit had suddenly changed, and the two children were lying when they said they were unhappy.
When he looked at Soma again, his eyes changed from closeness at the beginning to more admiration.
This cousin who appeared out of nowhere is the savior of their family!
