Chapter 1392 Answer: We Have a Common Enemy!
Luo You leaned slightly, his muscles tensed, as if he was carrying all the burden of his body.
He turned his head with difficulty, trying to find a suitable angle to look at Su Mo.
Finally, their eyes met, staring at each other.
Luo You frowned slightly, trying to read more information from the other's eyes, and the other responded with a firm look.
The two looked at each other quietly, as if they were in a silent contest, and the atmosphere became extremely tense and solemn.
The three people who were just laughing not far away suddenly fell silent and gathered together after discovering this strange change.
In just a few seconds, they had several plots in their minds.
"Tsk tsk, does this scene look like a young master of a wealthy family escaping and then being found by the housekeeper?"
"You mean Brother Ji is a housekeeper?"
"Uh... I didn't say that, I just said that this feeling is a bit similar, isn't it?"
"I don't think so, it's more like brothers having a conflict over something, and agreed to never see each other again, and then one of them feels bad after becoming successful, so he comes to rescue his down-and-out brother."
"Hey, it does feel a bit like that, if the two of them were deeply in love with the same woman, then the taste is even more correct."
"Hey, no wonder Brother Ji is so nice to those two kids, could it be..."
The three of them whispered to each other, and couldn't help laughing.
It's really not their fault for thinking so, but the two of them are really acting a bit strangely now.
About a hundred meters ahead, 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 lit up, and whispered:
"Give the two children something to apologize for my rash visit."
"Huh? Why?" Luo You's tone revealed a trace 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, then this mysterious man would really turn around and leave.
This result was a bit beyond Luo You's expectations.
Since the other party could find him and learned that he was actually studying the language of a foreign race, he must have spent a lot of time investigating. If he left now, he would not be able to recover his initial investment.
Do I really have a fourth master and a cousin?
In Luo You's mind, perhaps only real relatives could 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 in order to better deal with the alien race."
"But if I kill you or hinder what you are doing now, wouldn't that help the enemy get rid of a big trouble?" Su Mo said with a smile.
Unknowingly, everyone 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 started the fire and took out the salted meat that the family had been reluctant to eat for a long time, intending to welcome the cousin who came from afar.
This kind of obedience and understanding that needs no words is deeply distressing.
"How did you know that I study alien languages?" Seeing this scene, Luo You's thoughts finally wavered.
If his leg was not broken, he would never leave so rashly with a stranger.
But now, with him being a burden, the two children have to suffer much more trouble than imagined.
Maybe sometimes he shouldn't continue to be selfish, and should also consider the feelings of others.
"Is it important?"
"It's really not important, but I... want to know."
"As long as you go to my territory, I will tell you the answer immediately."
Long before coming, Su Mo guessed that these smart people might have some quirks, and even his face might not be able to be used.
But no matter what these people think, they will all go to the territory first.
At that time, even if these people still insist on leaving or make other choices, he will have the ability to give them a suitable help.
This is both a help to humans and a weakening of alien races.
"Your territory? Are you a 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 heard that a lord would come out to find someone himself." Luo You smiled and roughly understood the scale of the other party's territory.
As for the lord of their reed marsh, the territory is less than 20,000 people, and it is difficult to see the lord once every ten days or half a month.
He had never seen the leader of the Xingye Alliance, Lu Weidang, in person since he joined the alliance.
By comparison, he guessed that Su Mo's territory might have only a few thousand or ten thousand people.
Or even less, taking the rare elite route.
In the world channel, Luo You saw more than once those territories that only selected top talents were playing GG.
There are often only a few thousand people in their territories, but their development speed far exceeds that of territories with 100,000 people, and even comparable to territories with millions of people in some aspects. And because of the 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.
Sume, who ran out to work alone, could be found in the vast sea of people to study foreign languages.
It seemed a bit outrageous at first, but after thinking carefully, his various behaviors fit the portraits of these elite lords.
"I will not be discriminated against if I go to your territory with my two children?" After confirming his idea, Luo You began to worry about other things.
The biggest reason why the elite territory developed so fast was that there were no burdens to hold it back.
He asked himself if he could keep up with the progress with his two children, but it was hard to say whether others would think so.
"You always want to protect them, but without your daughter today, you probably don't know what kind of suffering you will have to endure before you can escape. Face the reality, this is a wasteland, do you think you can protect them for a lifetime?"
Sume could understand the idea of a father wanting to protect his children, but he also had to give the other party some reminders to avoid any dog-blood situations in the future.
The reason why he came to Luo You as the first stop was because the three of them, father and son, were rare talents.
Luo You had a strong observation ability. Not only did he decipher foreign languages, but he was also a natural scout.
The youngest daughter Luo Jiao is calm and has strong analytical ability. Only when she and Luo You work together can they repeatedly inflict heavy damage on the aliens.
As for Luo Xiang, according to the information, this kid can be regarded as a mini version of Feng Long, and he also has a high training value.
Before he accidentally leaked the news and killed Luo You because of his rashness, he was just an ordinary captain, with a fighting talent that ordinary people envy.
But after causing Luo You to be attacked and killed by the aliens, he suddenly transformed into a qualified commander.
Until the future ruins disaster Yongding, he was still one of the generals who was active on the front line of the Dragon Flag and good at assault command.
Now I don’t know whether Luo You’s lameness made Luo Xiang enter the mature period early.
Anyway, even if according to the information, without Luo You, the two can still live better than ordinary people.
"I..."
"Okay, pack up and we'll set off tomorrow."
Looking at Luo Jiao who came out to greet him, Su Mo raised his head and smiled, "Be careful, don't let the two children find out. They are not as naive as you. They always have some unrealistic fantasies."
Naive?
This was the first time someone said this to him. Luo You smiled bitterly and did not refute it.
In a sense, he was indeed quite naive.
In fact, it has been more than a day or two since the people upstream and downstream of the reed marsh were jealous of their harvest.
But Luo You always felt that jealousy was jealousy, and these people would not take action because of this.
In addition, the public security of the Xingye Alliance has been much better than usual because of its recent stability.
However, the result was very slapping in the face.
It was his naivety that led the family into danger.
If Su Mo had not appeared in time, I don't know what kind of trouble he would have caused in the end.
At the moment, he was still naively thinking about how to protect the two children, but ignored their ideas.
Su Mo's naked revelation of 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."
The three of Lao Ma brought the things they bought at the dock at the right time. Luo Jiao took a look and said in surprise: "Wild boar meat!"
Compared with fatless fish, wild boar meat with skin is obviously more tempting.
Luo Xiang also ran out after hearing this, and the corners of his mouth that were raised were even harder to suppress than AK.
However, neither of them was in a hurry to receive the gift, but looked at Luo You.
After receiving the latter's slight nod of affirmation, he happily took it and rushed into the kitchen.
"Don't worry, your uncle has some seasonings here, you can use them too."
In addition to salt and pepper, Su Mo took out a full six bottles and jars.
Among them, the jar containing crushed Wanwei Spores was so fragrant as soon as it was opened that everyone present shivered.
Not only did Lao Ma and the other two couldn't take their eyes off the aroma, even Luo You swallowed his saliva physiologically.
At the same time, this scene also made Luo You verify his judgment.
Only those elite territories would be so concerned about eating and bring so many seasonings when going out.
Ordinary people... No, ordinary territories would not have such a particularity.
Everyone is still troubled by how to eat enough, and further enjoyment is completely nonsense.
...
Pah.
Pah...
The firewood burned in the stove pit, and it made crisp explosions from time to time.
While cooking, Lao Ma and the other two went out diligently and took the initiative to take the responsibility of keeping watch.
Su Mo sat in the corner, chatting with Luo You.
Because the two children were around, Luo You did not ask too explicit topics, but asked about some things he was interested in in a subtle way.
For example, the current situation of the wasteland, the game between the big territories, and the next development direction.
At first, Su Mo was happy to answer, but soon he found that Luo You was just a curious baby.
For an ordinary piece of clothing, he asked him about everything from the collection of raw materials to the selection of weaving technology, not letting go of every detail.
"No... Although I am a lord, I don't know everything."
Su Mo held his forehead and shook his head. He thought, shouldn't these things be studied by the little 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 information piled up.
And I heard that there are now players who are handicraft enthusiasts who have studied how to make clothes with special attributes, and have also distributed a lot of them to scavenger players for testing.
If all this is told to Luo You, I don’t know how many questions this guy will ask.
“Let’s talk about fishing. How did you find so many fish by making nests?”
“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 couldn’t find out how to make it. I could only study their finished products and finally imitated a weakened version of frog gathering.”
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 must-have skill for every frogman who wants to survive.
But unfortunately, not all frogmen are qualified to know how to make this special drug.
At least the frogmen that Luo You observed and studied at the beginning were not qualified to know how to make this medicine. They could only trade with other frogmen for use, thus laying the foundation for the exploitation class in 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 tried to catch several frogmen to interrogate them. But I didn't expect that one time when I interrogated a frogman..." At this point, 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 over, and it's useless to regret it. It's better to learn these lessons and prepare for future actions. In short, there is 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 out your leg for me to see."
Su Mo lifted Luo You's disabled left leg, lifted up his trouser leg and saw the shocking injury below.
Just at the fascia connection below the knee pit, a huge bite wound was lying there.
Judging from the size and shape of the row of fine holes in the wound, it just fits the frogman's fangs.
Although the surface of the holes has scabbed and healed, and bright red flesh has grown, the fascia that was bitten off cannot heal naturally, causing the left leg to be unable to exert force and semi-disabled.
Of course, this is also a blessing in disguise. It is only because the frogman's bite force is not strong that Luo You can barely keep the whole leg. If it were the crocodile man, the whole leg would probably be bitten off.
"You are lucky. Only some fascia was broken, and the subsequent recovery is also good."
Su Mo pressed back and forth, especially on the wounds, and stopped before Luo You was about to scream in pain.
"Then can my... still be cured?"
This is the first time I heard someone not give some euphemisms to indicate that the leg was disabled after the examination.
Luo You was stunned, and then looked over suddenly, his face full of hope and desire.
If I hadn't seen the light, I could have endured the darkness.
From a normal person to a disabled person, he can almost be equated with a burden.
Including today's situation, if he is in good health, the two can jump into the water and swim away calmly.
But the other party seized this point, which made them in a dilemma and could only survive in the cracks.
Even with two children, Luo You still had the idea of committing suicide more than once when it was late at night.
"What identity are you asking me?"
"Identity?"
Luo You was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: "Lord, can I still treat this?"
"That depends on your performance next, after all, I don't run an orphanage."
The voice fell.
Su Mo smiled, and Luo You, who was sitting opposite, 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.
No one else.
Even if he only restored the most basic ability to move, Luo You was confident that he could make some achievements.
"Dad, uncle, Uncle Ma... the meal is ready, come and eat."
"Okay."
When things are good, people are in high spirits.
In the past, Luo Xiang had to help him get out of bed, but today Luo You insisted on getting out of bed on his own with crutches.
He 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 Su Mo again, his eyes changed from being close at the beginning to being more and more respectful.
This uncle who came out of nowhere is simply the savior of their family!
