Chapter 121, really stupid or fake stupid
Luo Lan didn’t know that Qing Zhen had asked people to start looking for himself, nor did he know that at this time Qing Zhen was facing the suppression of the Presidium within the consortium, he only knew that the sweet potato smell wafting next door was really fragrant ……
He looked at the side of his beloved and said: “That …… Tang Zhou, you look at the sweet potato field there is still no they dug the rest of the ……”
The heartlander named Tang Zhou said, “Let’s just go directly to grab some, won’t we?”
“What do you know,” Luo Lan cursed, “Am I that kind of person? If the consortium asked me to kill the people of the Fire Seed Company, I wouldn’t even blink, but robbing a group of refugees, what kind of person would I become if it gets out?”
“But the sweet potato fields have already been dug up by them,” Tang Zhou couldn’t help it.
Refugees are more than three thousand people, that sweet potato field is not a large-scale planting, purely barbaric growth do not know how long, grow out of such a piece.
Those refugees starved for a few days time is not easy to see something to eat, that is certainly digging finished until ah, can not eat can also be taken on the road, at least the next few days will not be hungry.
Only hungry people will understand, when hunger to the extreme is a kind of feeling, looking at the time to escape only after a few days, all the refugees have lost a circle.
Ren Xiaosu and the others didn’t seem to have changed much.
Luo Lan was torn for half a day, “Go, which one of you has money on you, find them and buy some.”
This time to escape out Luo Lan is nothing have time to bring, otherwise he would not even have pants to wear, and other combat brigade soldiers are almost the same, the earthquake came too suddenly, that time there is still mind to go back to the house to get money, basically all directly buried in it.
Soldiers looked at each other, we put together, finally came up with four thousand dollars, which are usually in the pocket of the pocket change.
Luo Lan looked at the money, his eyes were glowing, “Tang Zhou you take people to buy, be careful not to let them give a sneak attack.”
“Received,” Tang Zhou brought a combat squad over, at this time the surviving combat squad has completed the reorganization, the wounded do not have to participate in the battle, but at least two thirds of their more than two hundred people are still in combat.
Luo Lan also didn’t forget to explain, “Buy it at fifty times the usual price, don’t disgrace the Qing Consortium, we don’t take advantage of others.”
Food was obviously more important than money at this time, but whether fifty times this price was worth it or not was purely a matter of opinion.
Everyone will return to human civilization one day, maybe if it’s faster three days will go to 109 barriers, by then everything will require money to buy, although Qing’s consortium has an average relationship with Li’s, Qing’s consortium has some commercial industries in 109 barriers, so the banknotes issued by Qing’s consortium don’t have no purchasing power at all.
The relationship between the consortia was complicated, it wasn’t that the barriers controlled by the Lee’s consortium were completely free of other consortium forces infiltrating them, more often than not, the distribution of forces between the consortia was more like a dog-eat-dog state.
The different locations of the barriers meant that the natural resources at their disposal were different, so there was a need for the consortiums to be interoperable with each other.
For example, the area controlled by the Gyeong’s consortium was mainly dominated by vanadium and titanium magnetite, rock salt, manganese, lead and zinc, sulfur, iron ore, asbestos, mica, gold, phosphorus, marl, coal mines, and natural gas, whereas the south controlled by the Li’s consortium was dominated by non-ferrous metals and coal mines, and the cultivation industry was rich in tobacco.
But the most crucial thing was that the Gyeong’s Consortium was in a basin with a favorable climate, and had mastered the resources to grow food crops such as rice, wheat, corn, and soybeans, as well as cash crops such as tea, and most of the time the Lee’s Consortium needed to buy food from the Gyeong’s Consortium, who grew their own as well, but it wasn’t enough.
Every consortium valued food, but it wasn’t the case that if you valued it, the land you controlled was suitable for growing food, nature wouldn’t make any changes because of human will.
It didn’t take long for Tang Zhou to return with people holding a large pile of sweet potatoes, when purchasing the refugees looked at the soldiers coming over with loaded guns, there weren’t really a few who dared to refuse the Qing’s consortium’s request, besides, the price given by the Qing’s consortium wasn’t low.
Luo Lan excitedly commanded the soldiers to throw all the sweet potatoes into the fire, and then a group of big old men waited with bated breath.
Luo Lan counted the number of people and then counted the number of sweet potatoes, then sighed, “One person eats half of it, no one eats more than that, and the wounded can eat a whole one.”
When it was baked Tang Zhou took a wooden stick and pulled one out of the fire and gave it to Luo Lan, “Boss, this one you take and eat.”
Luo Lan picked it up and broke open half of it and handed it to Tang Zhou, “Half for one.”
“Don’t be like this boss,” Tang Zhou was a bit hesitant, “You’re only going to eat half of it too?”
“Cut the crap and take it, it’s hot!” Luo Lan looked to the others, “There’s no time to talk to you all that much now, when we arrive at the 109th Barrier, I’ll invite you all to go and enjoy yourself together, hey hey hey, we’re all people who’ve escaped, a great disaster will have a blessing in the future!”
The combat brigade’s soldiers all ate their sweet potatoes silently without speaking.
Ren Xiaosu’s side had been observing the movements of the Qing Consortium, only for a woman amongst the refugees to suddenly scream shrilly, followed by a loud slap.
They all turned their heads to look, and were surprised to find a middle-aged man tearing into a woman, saying, ”What’s the point of pretending to be innocent when you ate the sweet potatoes that I dug up, your man died long ago in the ledge! If I hadn’t pulled you along, could you have survived until now?”
“I said I’d give you the money for the sweet potatoes when I reached the 109 ledge!” The woman said through clenched teeth.
“What are you going to give me? Everyone will still have nothing when we get to Barrier 109!”
Ren Xiaosu bristled, these two even knew each other, afraid that the man had just tried to make a move but received a slap on the face. Now under the anger, is actually pulling the woman to the secluded wilderness to go, the woman cried but powerless to struggle, the bystanders all in the indifference of the bystanders.
However, at this time Ren Xiaosu beside suddenly there is a loud voice: “Stop! So it’s you, the Money Leopard King, that’s causing the trouble!”
This shout gave Ren Xiaosu’s brain a buzzing sound, and he looked at Chen Wuhu with a confused face, only to see that Chen Wuhu had already rushed out with his Golden Hoop Stick…….
The middle-aged man also did not react, and was directly swung to the ground by Chen Wouyou with a stick, almost spitting blood!
This is still Chen Wou Enemy collected strength, otherwise this man is expected to be swung dead on the spot.
However, before Chen Wou Enemy could enjoy the sense of accomplishment of subduing the demon, the woman who was dragged out at the beginning became angry instead, she looked at Chen Wou Enemy: “Why did you hit him! You get out!”
Chen Wuxi was a bit aggravated, but he couldn’t figure out what was going on here, so he could only droop his head and walk back to Ren Xiaosu.
Everyone was amazed at this scene, only Ren Xiaosu, who had read the original Journey to the West, felt that something was wrong, the Money Leopard King was the demon king of the Hidden Mist Mountain Folding Yue Lianhuan Cave in the Journey to the West, and in the original story, the Money Leopard King liked the farmer’s wife, so he took her for himself.
However, the reason why Ren Xiaosu feel wrong, because he found that this Chen Wuxi want to fight who, will arrange for the other side of the name of a demon, such as the small wind ah money leopard king ah and so on.
When he didn’t want to fight, the other party was a normal human ……
This seems to be the logic of a psychopath to find a “reason” and “position” for himself, he is the Great Sage of Qi Tian, so he has to fight the demons.
Ren Xiaosu watched in a daze as Chen Wuhui returned to his side, he thought for half a day and flirted, “Apprentice brother ah, what if you run into hundreds of enemies one after another in the future, what if there are not enough names of demons to go around?”
After all, there are only so many demons in the Journey to the West, won’t there be nothing left to fight afterward ……
Chen Wuxi fell into deep contemplation, it seemed like that was the case.
As a result, not a moment later, Chen Wuxi decided to lower some of his principles and said, “It’s fine, the demon’s name can be used repeatedly.”
Ren Xiaosu: “???”
Is this really stupid or fake? What happened to the promise of not recognizing?
