My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1415

[1405. Chapter 1385 Frogman Tribe, give them a surprise!]

Lao Ma and the other two looked around the window, then tactfully left, swallowing their saliva, and went to the corner under the pretext of taking out the dry food in their arms and started eating.

It was a courtesy for Luo Xiang to invite them to the table, but if they really dared to do so, they would have lost their sense of duty.

The price of the ingredients for this meal alone is beyond the reach of an ordinary survivor.

Add to that the special seasonings that Su Mo brought out, I’m afraid that the lord of the reed marsh has never enjoyed them.

“You made so much. If you can’t finish it, I’ll beat you to death.” Luo You took a look and pretended to hit him.

Who would have thought that Luo Xiang would dodge with a grin on his face and hide behind Su Mo.

“Dad, my cousin is here, can’t we have something good to eat?”

Actually, he didn’t plan to make so much at the beginning, but the magical seasoning was so appetizing.

Besides, Luo Jiao was urging us to leave here soon, so we might as well just have a full meal.

“Eat, eat, eat to death you coward.”

Luo You cursed twice, his eyes always on Su Mo’s face.

Noticing that Su Mo was smiling the whole time, he turned around and said with relief, “Why are you still standing there? Why don’t you get bowls and chopsticks for your cousin to serve the rice?”

“Hey ha, here I come!”

Luo Jiao smiled and quickly took the bowls and chopsticks that had been scalded by hot water out of the pot and placed them on the table in order.

Su Mo lowered his head and took a look, and found that the bowls and chopsticks used by the survivors were still very rough.

Even the Luo family, who were far above the average survival line of the survivors, were still using low-quality bamboo and wooden chopsticks, and broken clay bowls.

The advantage is that it is cheap and you won’t feel bad if it breaks or is thrown away.

The disadvantage is that it must be disinfected with hot water before each use, otherwise it will become a breeding ground for germs.

After all, nowadays even a common cold may turn into a fatal threat.

“Uncle, you use the good one and let my dad use the broken one.”

“These chopsticks are all burred. I’ll cut you a new pair. There’s some bamboo and wood at the door.”

The two children demonstrated clearly what it meant to have an elbow bent outward, leaving Luo You stunned.

However, he soon showed a relieved smile.

Perhaps this is why Soma chose to connect with them as a relative.

In the children’s world, although the wasteland environment has cruelly tempered them, it is still difficult for them to distinguish the malice and kindness of every stranger as keenly as adults.

Therefore, instead of letting them cautiously accept the kindness of the outside world, it is better to use the innate blood relationship as a bridge, which will make it easier for them to let down their guard and feel the warmth and care from others.

As for any possible malice, let the old father absorb it all.

Baji, Baji.

It has to be said that the wasteland environment does indeed train the survivors’ survival abilities in all aspects.

Especially in cooking, after exploring how to make delicious food in the absence of seasonings, once we return to the days with seasonings, the products are not bad.

After praising Luo Jiao’s craftsmanship, Su Mo also experienced the life of an ordinary survivor for the first time in a long time.

Although the taste of low-quality brown rice is a bit harsh on the throat, the delicious wild vegetables, wild boar meat and seafood are enough to make up for this small shortcoming.

After the meal, Luo Jiao was left to clean up the stall, and the three of them went to the side room, rubbing their bellies.

“Uncle, when are we leaving?” Luo Xiang asked excitedly in a low voice while wiping his pistol with his clothes.

If there was enough time, he wouldn’t mind practicing with the people who surrounded them tonight.

But before Su Mo could say anything, Luo You raised his hand and slapped him without saying a word.

“Give you a gun, do you think you are invincible?”

“No way, I just want to practice.”

“Still practicing? How many lives do you have to practice?”

Luo Xiang is good in all other aspects except that he never learns from his mistakes, which makes people worried.

Su Mo nodded slightly, knowing full well that this age is exactly when a boy is most rebellious.

Simply suppressing children like Luo You does will not make rebellious children realize their mistakes.

On the contrary, this tough approach often arouses stronger resistance in them.

Sometimes, fighting poison with poison is a good remedy.

Of course, how to control the dosage of “poison” is a science.

“If you want to practice, it’s not impossible.”

“Ah?” Luo Xiang was full of grievance in the previous second, and smiled happily in the next second.

However, this smile only lasted for a few seconds and was brought back to reality by Su Mo’s next words.

“Let’s go find the frogman tribe that bit your father and practice with them.”

Frogman tribe!

Luo You subconsciously clenched his fists, and his injured left leg couldn’t help but tremble.

Luo Xiang’s reaction was even more violent. He was first extremely annoyed, and then looked at Luo You at a loss.

It was precisely because he was not paying attention when tying up the frogman, and was only thinking about how to catch more frogmen, that the frogman took the opportunity to break free.

If Luo You hadn’t rushed out to help him block the fatal blow at the critical moment, he would not have the qualifications to stand here now.

“What? Are you scared?” Su Mo sneered, “You wouldn’t just bully unarmed humans, would you?”

“I’m not afraid!” Luo Xiang said stubbornly.

Luo You looked over with some concern, but was suppressed by Su Mo’s strong gaze and dared not speak.

“How far is that murloc tribe from us now?”

“About 200 kilometers, but I don’t know if they have moved during this time.”

As one of the three largest ethnic groups in the alien community.

The frogmen in the water, the ratmen on the ground, and the birdmen in the sky are direct enemies that hinder mankind from occupying the New World.

Especially the ratmen and frogmen, their reproduction speed is terrifyingly fast.

Basically, the population doubles every six months.

They are widely active in the mercenary circle, providing other ethnic groups with warriors (cannon fodder) who can rush to the front, thereby earning corresponding profits to maintain the development of the ethnic group.

Unlike the irreconcilable territorial conflicts between ratmen and humans, in the future ruins, the frogmen’s territories are often in deep waters, and they never actively attack human ships and territories.

This also led to many human settlements trading with frogmen, using weapons as a bargaining chip and purchasing large quantities of aquatic products from them.

It’s a pity that the frogmen’s fighting power is too low, and even with weapons they can’t cause any waves.

At the beginning of the sixth year of the Wasteland, they were completely wiped out in the fierce war between humans and aliens.

Even if a few survive, they will be chopped into pieces by humans who have long honed their survival and fighting experience.

Therefore, using frogmen to practice is definitely a good choice.

“It’s only over 200 kilometers, so let’s set off at night and give them a surprise.”

“Leaving so late?”

Luo Xiang was shocked and quickly looked at Luo You.

Unexpectedly, the latter lowered his head and thought about it, and instead affirmed Su Mo’s proposal.

“It’s time to go. Now that we’ve decided to leave, we might as well leave early.”

If we had only offended the people upstream and downstream of the reed marsh, there would be no need to leave in such a hurry.

Besides, these people had already been frightened at night, so even if they were brave enough, they would have to wait for a few days.

“This group of people dare not cause trouble for us, but Lord Huang and the lords of the territories upstream and downstream may not be able to sit still. Ji. Your cousin fired a gun at that time. If it was a pistol, it can be explained, but the submachine gun made too much noise. We’d better leave early to avoid being entangled by this group of people.”

Luo You’s worries are not without reason.

A dragon from across the river has come to his territory, so how can the lord not take it seriously?

Perhaps the Yellow Lord of the Reed Marsh is on his way here. Who knows how much trouble they can avoid if they leave.

Luo Xiang curled his lips, rushed out of the house and called Luo Jiao to pack up.

You have to be young.

After a busy day on the water, he still had enough energy at night. Looking at his spirits, it probably wouldn’t be a big problem for him to last another two days.

“Lord Ji, look at my son.”

As soon as the people left, Luo You sat up straight with a sad face. He was worried that Su Mo would be in danger if he took Luo Xiang to the frogman tribe, but he also felt that it was not a good thing to keep him under his watch and protection.

He thought about it, then gritted his teeth and said, “Why don’t you take me with you, so that I can be taken care of if I run into danger.”

“You want to go too?”

Su Mo looked at him in surprise and remained silent.

It is so pitiful to see the love of parents in the world. For some reason, he suddenly thought of Su’s father.

If Su’s father were put in this situation, he would probably follow without hesitation just like Luo You.

“Okay then, you can follow me, but it will be hard for me to take care of two people then.”

“Don’t worry, I’m an adult, what do I need you to take care of?”

Luo You smiled and patted his left leg: “It’s just a lame leg. Now give me a knife, I can still kill the frogmen and prevent them from getting close to me.”

“Okay, do you know how to use this thing?”

Ignoring Luo You’s stubbornness, Su Mo simply took out a pistol from his backpack.

Just at this time, Lao Ma and the other two had finished their dry food and walked in after estimating the time.

hiss.

A gasp sounded at the door.

This bag doesn’t look heavy from the outside. How many weapons are in it? Why can’t I empty them all?
“I haven’t used it, but it shouldn’t be difficult, right?”

Under the envious eyes of the three people, Luo You took the pistol and weighed it curiously.

Ignoring its unique texture, a pistol made entirely of engineering plastic is actually similar to a toy simulation gun.

After removing the magazine, it is even lighter than a toy gun.

“Of course it’s not difficult. Just turn on the safety, aim, and pull the trigger. The only difference is the accuracy.”

Modern people, who have been influenced by the information explosion, have a strong ability to accept new things.

It is said that a man remains a boy until he dies.

Luo Youkong pulled the trigger a few times, and his performance was not much better than Luo Xiang. Soon he was grinning from ear to ear.

As if he had found a treasure, he pulled up his sleeves and rubbed the surface of the gun.

“What are you three doing standing there?”

“Boss, we’ve finished eating too.”

“Come in when you’re done eating. I have something to ask you.”

Hearing what Su Mo said, the three of them immediately perked up and hurriedly walked in with small steps.

The side room of the earthen house is not very spacious, with only an earthen kang and a wooden table without a stool.

Lao Ma must have been here many times. He skillfully reached under the table and took out two folding stools.

He sat at the table and the other two sat on stools.

“Are you all alone?”

The three of them nodded at the same time. If they were not alone, their families would not be willing to let them become fishermen.

“Do you want to leave here with me? I need help to do something.” Su Mo felt that the cooperation of the three of them tonight was pretty good, and their quality was also at the standard level: “Don’t worry, after a while, you can leave or stay as you wish.”

Uh.
It seemed that they didn’t expect Su Mo’s recruitment to be so straightforward. Except for Lao Zhang, the other two were stunned.

“I, Zhang Yuanba, am willing to follow the boss and do things.”

Not sure whether he was stimulated by Su Mo’s three attempts to pull out a gun, or ignited by the submachine gun fire on the water, Lao Zhang nodded directly.

It was hard to imagine that just a few hours ago he was guarding against Su Mo like a thief.

But now, Zhang Yuanba’s thoughts are very simple.

There are only so many opportunities in a lifetime. It would be useless for him to stay in the Star Alliance and try his luck. It would be better for him to follow Su Mo. At least he can have a great time for a while.

If the other party is in a good mood and just throws a gun at him, then he would be like a pheasant turning into a phoenix.

“I’m very strong, I can do any rough work!”

“Okay, okay, I think you are also good at doing manual labor.” Su Mo nodded slightly, then frowned and looked at the other two:

“what about you?”

Old Gong’s face flushed. He first shook his head, then nodded quickly, and then shook his head reluctantly.

He is the oldest among the people present, already forty-six years old, and cannot work as hard as the young people.

And he happened to meet a widow not long ago. They flirted with each other and decided to save some money and live together.

This is also the reason why he dared to accept the order boldly after meeting Su Mo in the wild.

After living for most of his life and struggling in the wasteland for so long, Lao Gong didn’t want to move anymore.

Even if he died, he would rather die here.

“This is yours, so you can stay here and live a good life in the future.”

Su Mo smiled and nodded, and first took out a bag of candy from his backpack, about two kilograms, and took it to the supply department to exchange for enough supplies for an adult for half a year, which was a huge sum of money!
Then he took out a round ball and put it on the bag of candy and said, “The candy is the extra reward for driving me here, and this grenade is a meeting gift for you.”

Grenade?!

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone’s eyes turned and stared at the ball in Su Mo’s hand.

It is indeed very similar to what you see in movies and TV shows, with a pull ring on it.

“Tap the pull ring and throw it where you want it to explode within ten seconds. It will explode.”

“Thank you, Mr. Ji, thank you, Mr. Ji!”

Old Gong was so happy that he kept thanking Su Mo and even kowtowed to him to express his excitement.

Fortunately, Lao Zhang was smart enough to stop him, thus avoiding a joke.

“Old Ma, what about you?”

“I”

Ma Benchun still seemed very hesitant, and this reaction surprised Luo You greatly.

Both Lao Zhang and Lao Gong are little-known people. They can leave at any time and people around them won’t even notice that they have left.

But Lao Ma has developed quite a large circle in the Xingye Alliance, and everyone dealing with medicinal materials upstream and downstream knows about him.

Then follow Su Mo and start over again.
“Sorry, sir, I can’t leave either.”

Until Luo Xiang packed up his things and walked in, the respect and humility that he had seen in the past were no longer on his face, and he looked at him as an equal.

Ma Benchun then suddenly gave his answer.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a sense of loss as if he had lost something important.

Even after receiving two kilograms of sugar and a grenade from Su Mo, he could only force out a smile and leave.

What have I lost?
Walking out of the mud house, I saw Lao Zhang happily blending into the crowd, patting his chest as he took over all the luggage, and even pretending to carry Luo You on his shoulders, which made the crowd laugh.

Then he watched Old Gong walking happily toward the river, muttering to himself over and over again. He had already thought of how to give the widow a big surprise when he returned.

Ma Benchun couldn’t laugh anymore.

Both of them made the decision they thought was the most correct and the one they would least regret.

But only he considered the pros and cons and made the most rational choice.

No, it’s a good choice, but that’s definitely not all I should get.

Ma Benchun lowered his head, and a hint of resentment suddenly appeared on his calm face.

He suddenly understood why he would never be satisfied.
