Chapter 1321: Fists Speak the Truth, a Foreign Dragon From Across the River!

On June 29, the second year of the Doomsday Wasteland Calendar, there was only one day left before the "three late spring colds".

The dawn of the morning did not arrive as expected, and was replaced by a heavy and dim atmosphere.

Although the disaster has not yet completely arrived, the sky is dim as if the end of the world is coming.

The lead-gray clouds are like heavy slabs, pressing tightly on the skyline.

The already thin sunlight was ruthlessly swallowed by these clouds, and there was almost no trace.

Under the constant collision of cold and warm air currents, the air in the wasteland seemed to solidify, and it was so oppressive that people were a little breathless.

Of course, this sense of oppression comes not only from the abnormal weather, but also from the survivors' fear and anxiety about the impending disaster.

Even though countless "experts" have come out to speak publicly on the world channel, publicly stating that this cooling is not fatal to wheat. At best, it will only reduce the yield by about 30% during the autumn harvest, and if it is well protected, there will not even be a particularly obvious impact.

But the survivors knew it well, and few were willing to believe it.

Who knows if the experts who were unreliable on Earth will continue the old tradition of only saying nice words to comfort people when they arrive in the wasteland?

After all, the autumn harvest is still three months away. Assuming that the lies they said are really used to comfort people, who can be responsible for the loss if the yield is greatly reduced during the autumn harvest?

Therefore, although the experts tried to face this disaster with an optimistic attitude, the fear and anxiety in the hearts of the survivors were difficult to eliminate.

This also led to most people getting up from bed and looking at the weather. The first thing they did was to put on their clothes and run to the fields, and they didn't care about anything else.

In this way, the Polaris Fleet far away at the dock was about to leave for the next territory, and the number of people who came to see them off was far less than one-tenth of the number when they arrived, and the scene was very deserted.

In addition, for well-known reasons, Ji Wuming and Cui Lu had a bit of a falling out.

This made the gap between the departure and arrival of the fleet even more different.

"Captain Cui, please rest assured. The next time the fleet comes to the Red Flower Gang, I, Liu Zhi, will guarantee with my life that I will satisfy everyone and will never let the situation like today happen again!"

Although no one on the scene would care about this little detail, Liu Zhi patted his chest.

Song Chunrui, Wang Bi and Pang Dayuan, who were still waiting nearby, suddenly brightened up. The three exchanged meaningful glances with each other and secretly rejoiced in their hearts.

With this guarantee, it seems that Liu Zhi has finally made up his mind to replace him!

During dinner last night, the three of them tried to persuade him all night, but Liu Zhi didn't say a word from beginning to end. He didn't make clear his future plans, nor did he say how to deal with Ji Wuming next.

I thought this guy was deep-minded and would probably wait until the fleet and them left before he would take any action.

Now looking at this statement, it is clear that he intends to take action immediately and wrestle with Ji Wuming.

However...

Liu Zhi seemed very confident, but the three of them didn't know where this confidence came from.

"Then you can rest assured that the trade between us will not be broken because of my personal displeasure. As long as there is no problem with the cooperation agreement signed in the territory and you have not broken the rules, then the delivery and other things will still be done according to the rules in the future."

Cui Lu responded politely, then waved his hand and took people on board to start preparations.

The first batch of cargo ships that came over are still docked on the shore because the complete route has not been opened up.

And nearly 20 cargo ships came from the rear last night. Not counting various warships, the total number of cargo ships in the entire fleet is almost 50.

It is not a simple matter to control such a large fleet to move forward in an orderly manner.

In order to prevent alerting the enemy, Cui Lu was unwilling to let the dwarves notice the clues even if he had to take these empty ships for another trip.

What's more, there is a Ziweixing fleet on standby 300 kilometers behind.

If a fight really breaks out, he can also lead his men to counterattack at any time and attack the dwarves from both sides.

With Cui Lu's order, the sailors of the fleet who were still staying on the shore began to evacuate to the ship, and the onlookers followed and dispersed, each doing things according to their plan.

It should be said that the fleet stayed for these days, so they had nowhere to go to fish.

It was just right for the fleet to leave now. There was no farm work in the fields after the spring plowing. The shipyard has also built a lot of small sampans recently. It would be good to try their luck by the water.

Any more fish caught would relieve the pressure on the materials in the future.

Watching the familiar faces leave one by one, Liu Zhi touched his pocket and glanced back and forth.

It was not until the crowd was almost gone that he saw Su Deben coming around from the side, and then he put down his heart that had been in the air.

"Uncle Ben, have those people you mentioned come? Why can't I see them..."

No one got off the cargo ship that moored near at night, and they all stayed there waiting for the fleet to set off.

Although he had Su Deben's guarantee and could act as a matchmaker, Liu Zhi still felt a little uneasy.

If something unexpected happened, the other party couldn't leave, or simply didn't come with him this time.

Then he had blown his big words, and he might have a hard time in the next few days.

Let’s not talk about whether Ji Wuming will deliberately target him. The managers of the four gathering places alone have to find a way to teach him a lesson first, in order to avenge the continuous attack during this period.

However, before Liu Zhi finished speaking, Su Deben glanced at him, interrupted him and said, “What? You don’t trust me for such a small matter?”

Liu Zhi was sweating immediately after hearing this, and quickly changed his words: “That’s right, Uncle Ben, I’m worried. This big talk has been blown out. If it can’t be done...”

“Okay, stop talking.” Su Deben chuckled, “In the Tianyuan territory, my uncle Ben still has this face. As long as I say something, it will never be false, don’t worry.”

“It just so happens that I have some time now, I will help you to connect and build a bridge, but whether it can be successful depends on how you communicate with those people.”

“I save it.”

“Let’s go, don’t dawdle.”

Su Deben walked in front, and Liu Zhi followed closely behind.

At this moment, his heart was already beating nervously, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.

But there was no way, those who achieved great things must have gone through all kinds of hardships.

If you can't get through this little bump, how can you talk about getting through the big winds and waves in the future?

Going forward along the shore, until the two stepped on the sampan and boarded a plain-looking cargo ship.

From the outside, this cargo ship is no different from other cargo ships. They all have the same paint and external structure. In order to conceal their identities, even the draft of the ship has been carefully adjusted to a level similar to that of other cargo ships.

But when the two walked into the cabin, Liu Zhi discovered the real secret of the ship.

There was no cargo loaded in the cabin, nor were there neatly stacked containers. On the contrary, it was cleverly transformed into partitioned rooms, each of which was equipped with bunk beds fixed on steel plates.

It was less than eight o'clock in the morning. In the slightly dim cabin, many people were still lying in bed to rest. A strong smell of foot odor rushed out, making people frown slightly.

However, Liu Zhi was not affected at all, and his eyes kept scanning, watching these faces that gradually became clear.

Somewhat unexpectedly, there were very few young people inside, and most of them were weathered men.

Liu Zhi deliberately slowed down his pace and carefully observed several people who stretched their hands out of the bed. There were clearly visible thick calluses at their knuckles, which were traces left by long-term use of guns.

"Sure enough, they are not ordinary people..."

Although these traces cannot fully represent combat effectiveness, they will not lose to those embroidered pillows in the Red Flower Gang, right?

Liu Zhi was slightly relieved, trying to stay calm, and followed Su Deben through the connected cabins.

He knew that the first impression was crucial, and he must show his sincerity and determination.

However, when the two had been walking through nearly twenty cabins, but still had not reached the end, Liu Zhi's face changed visibly, and he hurriedly caught up with Su Deben in front.

"Uncle Ben, there seem to be quite a few people here?"

"Of course there are quite a few, about 500 people, is that enough for you to open up the situation in the territory?"

"Five hundred? That's enough, that's absolutely enough!"

The initial expectation was that there would be at most 200 people, but now the number has doubled.

Liu Zhi was immediately excited, and his anxiety was also reduced.

Soon, the two finally came to the tail of the cabin, or the bow.

In a slightly larger room, Liu Zhi finally saw the person he had been thinking about day and night.

A big bald head who looked like a giant when he stood up.

He was more than two meters and one meter tall, almost reaching the ceiling of the cabin.

His muscles were as solid as rocks, one piece at a time, and the exposed blood vessels were clearly visible.

However, the most shocking thing was his red skin color. In the dim cabin, his skin seemed to be dyed red by the fire, like a ghost in a myth or a giant in flames.

If an ordinary person saw this at night, he would probably be scared to death.

Of course, Liu Zhi was also scared now.

The momentum gushing out from the other party was almost tangible. The two of them only had the simplest eye contact, and Liu Zhi felt like he was being stared at by a ferocious beast.

It seemed that as long as he made a move, the other party would pounce on him and tear him to pieces.

"Hunting Tiger, hold back your momentum, don't scare our guests."

Hunting Tiger, who was often unyielding in battle, was very respectful to Su Deben.

Especially after seeing the volunteers trained by Su Deben, this respect was even more obvious.

At this time, when the former spoke, Hunting Tiger acted very naturally and immediately put on a smile:

"I just want to scare him, otherwise this guy will come to me for all the big and small things next time, which will be a headache."

"Just be moderate in your heart, don't ruin our next plan."

The two communicated in Blue Star language, and Liu Zhi could only wait eagerly.

After the conversation was almost over, Su Deben coughed lightly and spoke in Chinese: "Almost done. You were not afraid when we looked at each other just now. Mr. Liehu is also very satisfied with you, so he is willing to cooperate with you to a certain extent, provided that..."

"I understand this. Don't worry about the reward. I will definitely do what I say."

"Well, as long as you understand."

Su Deben nodded with relief, and then said a few requirements that he had "just" communicated with Liehu.

First, it was okay to fill the platform once or twice, but not too many times. After all, Liehu and his people were not ordinary thugs. They had their own lives and principles. If they appeared in a certain place as thugs for a long time, it would affect their image and reputation, and there was also the possibility of being discovered and blamed by Su Mo.

Second, if they encountered dangerous tasks, they had to increase the price, especially gun battles. After all, they were also flesh and blood. When facing high-risk tasks, they also needed to be compensated accordingly. This was necessary respect and protection.

Third, although they could bring their own weapons, the consumption of ammunition must be charged separately. Because ammunition is a consumable and expensive, if a large amount of ammunition is needed in the mission, then this part of the cost must be borne by Liu Zhi.

Fourth, they only guarantee the results of the task, but not the process of completing the task. Because in the process of performing the task, they may encounter various unpredictable situations. They can only do their best, but cannot make promises for every detail in the process.

Fifth, and most importantly, they cannot be discriminated against because they are from the Blue Star. Although Blue Star and Earth are two different planets, they are both intelligent creatures of the same species and should be treated and respected equally. If Liu Zhi shows any form of discrimination during the cooperation process, the cooperation will be terminated immediately.

"If you can accept these five points, I will help you convey your willingness to cooperate and find a translator for you."

"As for the price of cooperation, it is still the price I said before."

Su Deben said softly, leaving time for Liu Zhi to think.

However, the latter did not think about it for too long, or he had thought it through clearly last night.

For Liu Zhi, filling the venue is just for ordinary residents to see, and one or two demonstrations are completely enough. He values ​​more that he can have an armed force with strong combat effectiveness and the ability to win, and Liehu and his people undoubtedly meet this requirement.

In addition, it would be better if these people brought their own guns. He was still worried about where to get some weapons last night.

Now he only needs to spend money on ammunition, which can be easily supplemented by some reserve resources. At worst, he can use population as a bargaining chip, so he is not short of money!

But he can only guarantee the result, not the process.

It sounds troublesome, but what armed action can actually guarantee the process?

When two gangs fight on the street, some unexpected factors may lead to uncontrollable events.

It is good enough for hundreds of elite armed men to ensure the results.

And he doesn't have to worry about it, just leave it to Mr. Tiger Hunter.

As for discrimination...

Fists speak reason, guns reveal truth, this is a group of dragons crossing the river.

What a joke, even the big players on the world channel dare not discriminate against the people of Blue Star.

He is a little-known person, where does he get the courage?
