Chapter 1417: Giant Stone Territory, Stealing the Girl in Person!

Lao Zhang was a little dumbfounded.

He thought that Sumo would arrange an extremely dangerous task for him, one that might cost him his life at any time.

He also thought that after Somo finished speaking, he would respond directly to show his loyalty.

However, when he heard that Soma planned to establish a territory in the mountains and make him the lord.

Lao Zhang was still stunned and lost his ability to think.

The coming disaster will target every territory, and it is not clear whether it will affect individual people.

But if we establish a territory now, it is certain that we will have to resist disaster.

A long while.

He came back to his senses and asked blankly: "Building a territory here...will the golden giant eagle agree?"

Sumo smiled and replied, "I'm afraid I'll have to ask the Niu brothers more about this question."

"them?"

Lao Zhang didn't react for a while, and finally lost his voice for a while: "Are these people planning to establish a new territory here if they don't leave?"

"Otherwise, don't you really think that a group of healthy, capable, and courageous men in their prime will stay in this village for fear of hardship?"

Before Sumo could speak, Luo You curled his lips and told what he had observed last night.

After a group of people left, he and Luo Jiao had nothing to do and simply wandered around the village several times in the second half of the night.

You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.

The number of prime-age men staying in this stone village is simply too many, and the number is even a bit abnormal.

Moreover, the sufficient food and help they received from working as miners and the help of the route made the physical fitness of this group of people explosive.

Why do so many people stay in this abandoned village?

"I asked many people, but they were unwilling to communicate with me, but I found a child."

"No, it was Luo Jiao who found it."

Luo You smiled. If nothing else, the beauty trap is useful in any era and under any circumstances.

Although the innocent child was fully wary of strangers under the guidance of adults, he was still bombarded by the admiring eyes of the opposite sex of the same age and some supplies as sugar-coated bombs.

"The Golden Eagle does not support idlers. Although these prime-age men are qualified for any job with their physical fitness, it is difficult for the elderly and children in their families to withstand those heavy work tasks."

"Especially when the Golden Eagle has just relocated and needs to be mobilized for development, there are many people who are dying of exhaustion."

After Luo You briefly stated the reasons, he also stated the plans of these people.

"If the plan goes well, they want to build a new territory here or nearby, focusing on farming and fishing. This will not only ensure that they do not have to bear too much work, but also can go to the Golden Eagle to exchange materials when they need them, even if they cannot You can also join the Golden Eagle at any time when disaster strikes."

"What if the plan doesn't go well?"

"Nonsense, of course you are joining the Golden Eagle. Is it possible that you want to go somewhere else?"

"Forehead..."

Lao Zhang suddenly felt that his IQ was not low in the eyes of ordinary people, but maybe he was just a fool in the eyes of Sumo and Luo You?

However, when he thought about Sumo's willingness to let him be the lord instead of Luo You, Lao Zhang became happy again.

Sometimes being too smart makes it harder to be trusted.

A smart person under ordinary circumstances and a "fool" under special circumstances are actually the best choices in the current environment of the wasteland.

"So they are so familiar with the terrain on the mountain and want to establish a territory on the mountain?"

"I guess so." Sumo nodded.

When the dark sides of several stone mountains were excavated, the miners deliberately dug out many caves.

Judging from the internal neatness, they were probably ready to break away from the Golden Eagle at that time.

In addition, the Niu brothers are so familiar with the structure of the mountain, so this requires a long period of exploration.

"But we can't guarantee whether the survivors of the Golden Eagle can tolerate building a territory here, so you have to check it out with the Niu brothers."

"It's easy. I have plenty of ways to say it."

Lao Zhang patted his chest, showing great confidence in such a small matter.

When he left with a small bag of hard candies and walked around the village to inquire about the situation, Luo You came over worriedly.

"What do you think, why are you building a territory here? Could it be that you want to use this method to attract the attention of the golden eagle and give us a chance to enter?"

"Of course not. I have many ways to get in." Su Mo was very satisfied with Lao Zhang's subjective initiative and said solemnly: "At first, I planned to establish a territory here, gather the poor people outside, and see if I can find them. Some talents.”

"What now?"

"Now I want to poach the Golden Eagle in an open and honest manner."

Ever since he learned about the internal situation of the golden giant eagle, Sumo had many ideas.

In this wave, he not only wants to gather the survivors who pass by, but also tells the golden giant eagle the value of human unity.

We also need to take advantage of the convenience of reputation to see if we can select a group of talents to bring back to the territory.

After all, there are hundreds of millions of people here, and even a talented person picked from a thousand miles can still make up 10,000 people!

"You are really a madman, will they tolerate you doing this?" Luo You sighed.

What is the difference between this kind of behavior and standing in front of the lords of the Golden Eagle, dancing naked and taunting them.

"Well... the probability should be quite high. I don't think the Niu brothers are unaware of these actions. If they can choose to let them stay here, they should have tacitly agreed to something."

"Or they are also happy to see a lot of small and medium-sized territories around the Golden Eagle relying on development. This will not only solve the trouble of everyone coming to eat welfare, but also expand external demand and find a good market for the goods produced by the factory."

If the people of the Golden Eagle trust the suggestions he made in the letter before, the establishment of the territory should not be too much obstructed.

On the contrary, they may even give some support, as the initial cost of cultivating the market.

"I hope your guesses are correct." Luo You kept silent. Since Su Mo had already made his own decision and had reasons to convince others, he did not intend to make any unnecessary obstructions. As long as Lao Zhang came back after inquiring about the news, the truth would be revealed.

There are many abandoned houses in Stone Village, most of which are covered with a thick layer of dust.

Fortunately, the temperature in the southern plate is higher, and there is nothing extra inside. The group found a relatively clean empty room nearby to stay and resist the scorching sunlight above their heads.

At noon, Lao Zhang came back with a red glow on his face, his face full of excitement.

"It's true. They did plan to establish a territory on the mountain. Later, they considered that although the safety of the mountain is guaranteed to a certain extent, the development will be restricted, so they have not taken any action."

"As for whether the Golden Eagle allows survivors to establish a territory around, there is no problem with this. Going down from the Stone Village where we are now, several downstream villages have built territories. The Golden Eagle not only did not express any opinions, but also sent someone to inquire and provided some support."

It's true.

Luo You, who had been worried for a while, brightened his eyes, and his eyes looking at Su Mo changed a little.

This man is still so mysterious. Not only can he control himself freely in small and medium-sized territories, but he is still bold when he comes to a super territory like the Golden Eagle.

"What should we do next? Everyone is qualified to build a territory. The problem is whether anyone will join. The Niu brothers are quite important in Stone Village, but even if we bring them along, no more than 30 people will be willing to follow them." Lao Zhang said worriedly.

The Niu brothers were able to be brought along mainly because of the supplies given by Su Mo.

Once the supplies are cut off, these people will most likely leave without looking back and return to the village to wait for other opportunities.

Moreover, the disaster is coming soon. Building a territory on the stone mountain may attract a beast tide to attack the village. It is also unclear whether other people will agree or not.

"We will not recruit people here." Su Mo was prepared.

Although the people here are the best labor force, including the elderly and children, they are also old hands. Since they can make up their minds to leave the Golden Eagle, how can they casually join a newly established small territory.

If you blindly use supplies to open the way, you will eventually recruit a group of ungrateful people without cohesion.

The best way is to let them rush to join and invest a certain amount of cost to form a sunk cost, so that they will be reluctant to leave.

"We will recruit those survivors who came to Golden Eagle and were disheartened."

"Ah? Will they allow it?"

They refer to those who were supervising outside when we left yesterday evening.

If we pry into the corners of the survivors and tell them the real intentions of Golden Eagle in front of these people, I am afraid that the magazine will be emptied in a minute.

"You are stupid, we are not directly robbing people, we just ask some idle people to come and help build the territory defense facilities."

Su Mo narrowed his eyes, he believed that the survivors who could come to Golden Eagle from thousands of miles away were all smart people.

As long as the people in the queue know that there is a territory with natural dangers here, then some people will definitely not choose to become cannon fodder for Golden Eagle and go to face the beast tide head-on.

"We will pay a certain amount of labor remuneration, and some survivors with families will definitely be tempted. Anyway, they have nothing to do in the queue, so it is better to leave one person to continue queuing and let the others come to work here."

"As for the remuneration..."

Su Mo paused and waved his hand at the air.

Boxes of supplies fell from the air with a crackling sound. The impact woke up the two children who were still catching up on their sleep. Seeing the supplies falling continuously, they thought they were dreaming.

These unmarked cartons were very heavy. Several boxes were spread apart in the air and scattered, and a lot of freshly packaged dehydrated vegetables fell out.

"How can you still use the storage space?"

Luo You and Lao Zhang were shocked. Although Su Mo could always take out supplies from the small warehouse on the ship, they never thought that there would be humans who could use such a magical method at the moment.

"This is the start-up capital. We have to establish a cycle ourselves later, otherwise I don't have so much stuff to support the survival of thousands of people."

Su Mo did not answer the question directly, but pretended to be mysterious and turned the topic abruptly.

But it was precisely because of this that Lao Zhang and Luo You deepened their judgment.

It was really unheard of. Could it be that the game also treats survivors in different levels?

...

At this moment, in the Stone Village on the other side.

As soon as Lao Zhang found out the news and left, Niu Dan and Niu Shuang instantly stopped their pretending to be flattering smiles. The speed at which their expressions changed gave people the illusion that nothing had happened.

After closing the courtyard door, more than a dozen men walked out of the side room that had never been opened.

The weather was hot, and everyone was shirtless, revealing their tanned muscles.

"Brother Niu, have you found out clearly about this group of people, and where did the Dragon Crossing the River come from?"

A group of people seemed to trust Niu Dan very much, and each one called him "Brother Niu" in a friendly manner.

"I don't know. This bearded man is very tight-lipped. Nothing can be pried out of his mouth."

"Is he the leader?"

"Who knows..." Niu Dan thought for a while.

Although Lao Zhang was doing all the errands, Sumo and Luo You's family stayed in the house to rest.

But aren't they the same? The others stayed in the house while he and Niu Shuang went out to investigate.

To put it bluntly, I just don’t trust the information that other people get.

"Not much to say, this group of people seems to want to build a territory near our Stone Village. They have been testing the attitude of our golden giant eagle just now."

"Are they just those people? Building a territory?" There was laughter from the crowd. Luo You was inquiring about the news last night, and the people in Stone Village were also observing them early in the morning.

"Except for the big beard who has a lot of strength, there are several other people...a lame man and two children. Is it possible that they rely on the facial paralysis to provide strength?"

Facial paralysis?

Niu Dan frowned. Unlike others, he felt that the middle-aged man with a paralyzed face was not simple.

Although he is serious in speech and does not have unnecessary nonsense, he can often get to the point by asking a question.

But even if this person has some brains, building a territory is a laborious task, and just relying on two people is not enough.

And what’s the point of just building a territory with just a few people?

"Who knows, they are so generous with their actions. They are not at all like the survivors of Souchou. I guess they just came here to inquire about information. Maybe there is a small force behind them."

After thinking about it, Niu Dan added: "Since we are so close anyway, we can find out what they are going to do immediately. If we hire people to build the territory, we will be the best choice, and everyone can make a lot of money from it." Where's the pen?"

"That's a good relationship. If he uses supplies to win me over, I won't even object to paying him for a period of time!"

"Hehe, we all know the people who can work in this stone village. Maybe we can work together to raise the wages when the time comes."

"I haven't had enough to eat for several days. If this guy can keep me fed, he can let me work for sixteen hours without any problem."

"What are you talking about? Didn't we agree that we would only accept it for a maximum of thirteen hours?"

"Ah, I forgot, I forgot..."

As a group of men talked, they all couldn't help baring their teeth and laughing.

Thousands of people in their Stone Village have been squatting for two months, but no one has been able to stand up and call on everyone to build the territory.

This foreign dragon crossing the river is really taking the courage of a bear and a leopard. Only a few people are thinking of establishing a territory?

On the surface, no one laughed directly, but everyone was determined and planned to watch the joke next.

...
