My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1416

[1406. Chapter 1386 Three types of people: cruel, stupid, and foolish!]

He has already completed two-thirds of the journey of his life. During these years, he has seen countless storms and experienced the vicissitudes of the world. When he set foot on this abandoned wasteland, his heart had already been worn down by the years and lost all his sharpness and enterprising spirit.

If the widow’s appearance had not given him some inappropriate thoughts, he would not have chosen to embark on the dangerous path of a fisherman.

For Lao Gong, a bag of candy given by Su Mo was enough to satisfy his desire threshold which had been reduced to the extreme. He even felt that the value of this bag of candy had far exceeded his imagination, representing hope, warmth and happiness.

He could exchange the sugar for survival supplies and build a warm little home with the widow in this wasteland.

They can share the little joys of life together, support each other and go through the hard times together. Even if they are to face death tomorrow, they can walk to the last moment of their lives in each other’s company.

Mr. Zhang’s desire threshold is exactly the opposite of Mr. Gong’s, his threshold is very high.

Lao Zhang is a man full of fighting spirit and determination. He is never satisfied with the status quo and always eager to change his life through his own efforts.

He was able to choose to become a fisherman without any compulsion.

He dared to fish in the Julongxian River, where even water monkeys were afraid to go fishing. All of this represented his spiritual beliefs.

This is also the reason why after hearing Su Mo’s willingness to recruit, Lao Zhang agreed without hesitation.

No matter how dangerous it is, it can’t be more dangerous than a person fishing in a river that is hundreds of meters wide, right?

But if you go into the water to fish, you can only catch some meager supplies, and there is no hope of endless opportunities if you follow Su Mo.

As for Ma Benchun.

“My desires are much greater than Lao Zhang’s, but I chose the same path as Lao Gong.”

“How can I be willing and satisfied with this?”

His eyes were fixed on the flickering fire of the earthen house, and he hesitated for more than ten minutes before stepping back and leaving.

His mind kept flashing back to the look in Luo Xiang’s eyes when he just walked in, which was completely different from the previous ones.

And Su Mo always has an arrogant expression, as if he doesn’t care about anything.

All of this hurt somewhere deep in his heart.

Of course, the most crucial thing is the submachine gun that Su Mo took out on the boat and the bottomless backpack.

There was a greedy gleam in Ma Benchun’s eyes. He licked the slightly dry corner of his mouth, as if he could already taste the satisfaction that was about to come.

He was originally walking towards the river, but suddenly changed direction and resolutely walked towards the dense reed marsh on the shore.

Going straight ahead from there is the gathering place of reeds, which is also the destination in his heart.

The Luo family’s earthen house is a bit unique. It is built on the waterside, about five kilometers away from the gathering place.

Privacy was guaranteed to a certain extent, but the safety of group living was also lost, which led to the people who surrounded Luo You and his son being able to arrange their manpower next to the earthen house.

“Since you can’t satisfy my desires, I will satisfy them myself.”

Ma Benchun grinned a few times, his eyes flashing with greed. After identifying the direction leading to Lord Huang’s residence, he took each step more firmly and briskly.

He was even a little complacent, knowing the 200-kilometer waterway and surrounding territories of the Star Alliance.

If an ordinary person came here, he wouldn’t be able to find the place even if he wanted to report something.

Ma Benchun walked very carefully through the reed marshes along the river bank, stopping from time to time to look back, then taking a detour and continuing in another direction.

He knew very well what the consequences would be if his current actions were discovered by the dragon crossing the river.

But fortunately, the other party didn’t seem to care and didn’t have any intention against them.

Ma Benchun finally relaxed a little. He walked carefully through the reed marsh, thinking about his plan in his mind. His pace gradually quickened, and soon he reached the junction of the reed marsh and the main road.

However, just as he was about to take that step, the scene before him shocked him so much that he almost stopped breathing.

On the main road, a figure was leaning leisurely against a tree trunk by the roadside, holding a dogtail grass in his mouth and blowing it casually, and one hand seemed to be wiping something.

Although there was some distance between them, the outline of the figure seemed particularly familiar to Ma Benchun.

He widened his eyes and felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart!

His heart began to beat faster and he wanted to turn around and flee back into the depths of the reeds, but it was too late.

At this moment, Luo Xiang’s voice suddenly came from behind. The voice was full of confusion and anger, like a heavy hammer hitting Ma Benchun’s heart, leaving him nowhere to escape and unable to deny.

“Uncle Ma, where are you going? Why are you here?”

“I” Ma Benchun opened his mouth, but found that he didn’t know what to say.

Especially when the man on the main road began to approach, he felt his legs become weak, as if he could not support his body.

“I’m just staying here for one night!”

At the critical moment, a round object in his pocket gave Ma Benchun confidence.

He clenched it tightly and his voice stopped trembling.

“It’s so late now. Uncle Ma is afraid that they will retaliate on the way back. Can’t he just stay at the gathering place for one night?”

“Are you really just staying for one night?” Luo Xiang’s face remained gloomy.

He never thought that Ma Benchun, who usually took good care of the Luo family, would do such a thing.

“if not?”

Ma Benchun seemed to have sorted out his thoughts and said loudly, “So many people saw us together at night. What if they also took me as a member of your family and took revenge on me? Who can I go to for justice? Uncle Ma hid all the way here. I don’t know how worried he must be. What do you think I was going to do?”

Clap, clap, clap!
The sound of applause rang out nearby, and Su Mo walked over with a smile on his face.

“Good acting, but a little too exaggerated in places.”

“What?” Ma Benchun was still pretending to be stupid.

“You will be given 30 seconds to think about it. Tell me what is your purpose in approaching the Luo family?”

Su Mo skillfully pulled out a pistol from his waist and pointed the black muzzle at Ma Benchun.

“Don’t joke with me. I hate wasting time on trash.”

He was originally planning to leave, but this guy’s laughter was so unpleasant that it made him feel a little creepy.

“Uncle Ma, don’t be in a hurry to speak, listen to this first.”

Luo Xiang also came up with a square box in his hand. When he pressed it, sounds started coming out.

“My desire is much greater than Lao Zhang’s”

“.I am unwilling to accept this.”

“Ha ha ha, since you can’t satisfy my desire, I will satisfy it myself.”

Clear recordings came from the square box, including those distinctive grins.

Ma Benchun’s face turned pale instantly, leaving him no room for excuses.

This damn foreigner is so cunning that he even installed a bug on him?

“Ha, haha.”

After sneering a few times, Ma Benchun knew that now was not the time to play dumb.

He yanked a grenade from his pocket, pulled the ring, and held it in his hand.

“Let me go, I’m willing to leave now, or we’ll all die together!”

“No, Old Ma.”

Su Mo held the pistol in his hand, smiling: “I didn’t say I wouldn’t let you go. I just asked what your purpose was in approaching the Luo family?”

“Purpose?” Ma Benchun glanced at Luo Xiang coldly, “What purpose do I have? I just saw that the Luo family was in such a miserable state, so I wanted to help them.”

“Really? Then why did I hear from Lao Zhang that you always help others take care of their wives and children under the pretext of helping them?”

“You” Lao Ma panicked, beads of sweat the size of beans dripping from his forehead.

“Uncle Ma, I never thought you were this kind of person. You disappoint me so much.”

“Disappointed, what right do you have to be disappointed?”

Facing Luo Xiang’s questioning, Ma Benchun suddenly exploded: “If I hadn’t been so kind as to lend you the medicine, your damn father would have gone to hell long ago. If I hadn’t given you a chance to make a living, what qualifications would you have to become my agent in Luwei Marsh?”

“Yes, I am attracted by your sister’s beauty. And don’t think I don’t know that you also want to use your sister to get closer to me?”

“You’re talking nonsense, I”

boom.

Ma Benchun, who was originally so aggressive, lost his arrogance instantly after being shot in the thigh. He rolled on the ground in pain like a snake that had been hit.

“Everyone must die, everyone must die!” he roared, his voice full of madness and despair.

The pull ring of the grenade was torn open, and with mad determination, it was thrown towards Su Mo.

Unexpectedly, Su Mo casually reached out and caught the grenade, gently blew away the dust on it, and then calmly put it into his pocket.

“I forgot to mention that I accidentally gave you the wrong thing. What I gave you was actually a bug, not a grenade.”

“Grass!”

“It’s your turn.” Su Mo pouted towards Luo Xiang.

Bang!
Almost the moment the words fell, Luo Xiang fired without hesitation.

The first shot was a little off and accidentally hit Ma Benchun’s right foot, causing him to almost faint from the pain.

“Luo Xiang, you will not die a good death. You killed your benefactor. You must…”

Bang, bang, bang!
Ma Benchun didn’t have a chance to continue cursing, as a series of crisp gunshots were heard in the wilderness.

“You are my benefactor, so if I send you to death now, am I also your benefactor?”

After using up all the bullets in the gun, Luo Xiang kicked Ma Benchun again, causing him to roll several times on the ground, cursing.

At this moment, all the depression that had arisen since Luo You became lame due to his mistake seemed to have been vented.

In fact, he had originally planned to let Su Mo release Ma Benchun this time for the sake of their old friendship.

But when he heard that the reason this guy approached him was because of his sister, his anger suddenly filled up.

Blood continued to ooze out of Ma Benchun’s mouth, and the anger in his eyes gradually faded, leaving only a trace of regret.

There are three kinds of people in the wasteland.

Cruel, stupid, foolish.

He originally thought that Lao Gong was stupid, Lao Zhang was foolish, and he was cruel.

Now it seems that he is probably the foolish one.

Luo Xiang kept kicking until Ma Benchun could only breathe in but not out, and only then did he come out of his crazy state.

Looking at the large pool of blood and flesh on the ground, he took two steps back in fear, asking Su Mo what to do.

“Why are you asking me this? Run!”

In the gathering place not far away, the guard team had already chased out following the sound of gunfire.

Su Mo let out a strange laugh, which echoed in the night, with a hint of provocation and mockery.

He spread his long legs and rushed quickly towards the dense reeds, his figure drawing a swift arc in the moonlight.

Luo Xiang stood there, dazed for a moment, with an indescribable excitement welling up in his heart.

If father Luo You were here, he would definitely scold him first and then carefully choose an escape route.

He is not like Su Mo, rushing forward without any scruples like a free madman.

“Hey, uncle, wait for me!”

Luo Xiang shouted with a silly smile on his face, and imitated Su Mo, diving into the reed marsh and running as fast as he could.

The reeds swayed in the night wind, making a rustling sound.

About three or four minutes after the two left, the Night Protection Guards, who heard the noise, finally arrived.

There were six people in total, four of them were holding machetes and the other two were holding earthen guns.

Everyone walked back to back, fear and caution on their faces, reluctantly walking towards the smell of blood.

“Damn it, you’re still making trouble outside at night, not letting me sleep?”

There was a pool of blood and flesh on the ground, and even the face, the only part that could be used to identify the person, was kicked to pieces.

The leading captain immediately breathed a sigh of relief and quickly signaled the people behind him to come up and stand guard.

If the person lying down can be identified, they will have to take him back to report.

If any connection is found, the subsequent trouble will be a real headache.

Now, since he is a stranger whose identity is unknown, we should just treat it as a personal grudge.

“No one. The shooter left long ago.”

“Yeah, yeah, we didn’t see anything when we came over here.”

“The shooter was so cautious that he didn’t even leave any footprints. We couldn’t chase him even if we wanted to.”

“It’s just that he knew what was good for him and ran away early. Otherwise, if we caught up with him, he would be in big trouble.”

“Hurry up and check it out. If there’s no problem, go back. This is really a bad mood at night.”

Two rows of clear footprints in the reed marsh were quickly wiped out by the other five team members who arrived.

The six people destroyed the scene in perfect sync, and then returned to the village in a swagger, asking the person in charge of collecting the bodies to take the rotten meat back and bury it in a random pit.

To them, the gunshots just now clearly did not sound like the kind of noise that could be made by a homemade rifle.

Tracking down such people is like an old man eating arsenic, tired of living.

After a while, two middle-aged men with bitter faces walked out of the gathering place, carrying snakeskin bags and shovels, and headed towards the crime scene.

Seeing Ma Benchun lying on the ground in the most miserable state, the two men first smacked their lips and sighed out of habit, wondering how could someone be so cruel, and then they used a shovel to shovel him into the bag.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he got on the shovel, a bag of stuff rolled out of Ma Benchun’s pocket.

The two of them took it out and looked at it in surprise, and were so shocked that they almost fell to the ground.

“Oh my god, a bag of candy, is this real?”

“Oh my god, it’s real, come and try it.”

As soon as the cloyingly sweet hard candy entered their mouths, their expressions changed instantly. This bag of candy was enough to pay them for collecting corpses for a whole year.

“How about us.”

“Come on, come on, isn’t this the day we’ve been waiting for?”

They hurriedly put Ma Benchun’s body into a bag, stuffed a few large stones into it and sank it into the river.

The two men returned to the village as if nothing had happened, packed up some scattered supplies they had accumulated, and fled in the night.

For them, it doesn’t matter where they work. Can’t they settle down anywhere with that bag of candy?

Time flies.

It was not until dawn that Lord Huang of the Reed Marsh learned what had happened last night from daily reports.

“The person who saved the Luo family father and son has a standard firearm?”

The middle-aged man, known as Huang Baopi by outsiders, rolled his eyes and immediately led his guard team straight to the Luo family’s earthen house.

But unfortunately, when they arrived here, they found that the mud house was already empty. The Luo family had left the home where they had lived for several months in the evening.

Judging from the things left inside, he probably doesn’t plan to come back.

“Go find those people and ask them what’s going on?”

The standard firearms conveyed a great meaning. Huang Baopi still did not give up. He found the people who had surrounded him last night and learned the name Ma Benchun from various sources.

Ma Benchun was on the Luo family’s boat last night, he should know a lot of information.

However, surprisingly, when they looked for Ma Benchun in the morning, he was nowhere to be found. Instead, they learned from the guards that there had been a gunfight outside the gathering place last night.

It just so happened that a man was beaten to death in the reed marsh. I don’t know if it was Ma Benchun.

“Where are the people who collected the bodies? Bring the bodies out for them to identify.”

“Lord, we went to look for the corpse collectors right away. They seem to have run away.”

“What?”

The clues were completely cut off, and Huang Bapi sat on the stool dumbfounded.
