Chapter 236, The Beginning of Disagreement

There were 178 barriers on top of the wasteland, 178 was in the northwestern borderland, the westernmost part of the entire barrier map, where the summer heat was unbearable, and in winter the frozen earth was covered with ice and snow.

Someone once stood on the walls of the 178 barriers and looked out, full of sores and yellow soil, even the river is muddy yellow running toward the east.

The Qing Clan, Yang Clan, and Li Clan were located in the southwestern part of the entire wall map, and due to geography, these three consortiums had always been the three most closely interacted with in the southwest, while the other consortiums’ main areas of control were difficult to expand to the southwest due to the inconvenient transportation.

Among them, the Li Clan is located in the southernmost part, and it is said that further south is the rainforest that is difficult to get out of, where poisonous insects are all over, and it is said that no one has ever been able to go through that rainforest and continue south.

However, the crustal movement of the relationship, the three families are located in the location of the climate is also changing, getting colder and colder, in recent years the ecology of the rainforest is also changing radically, Li Clan even had plans to include this rainforest into their own version of the map, to build a new barriers.

The Qing Clan is located in the northeast of the Li Clan, and the terrain is dangerous and easy to defend.111 The wall is even known as the Mountain City, simply because the city is built on the mountains, and is an extremely important water and land hub in the southwest.

Yang Clan, on the other hand, is located within a huge basin, north of Longnan Zong Clan and 178 barriers, but in recent years Zong Clan has been plotting 178 barriers controlled by the northwest, and Yang Clan does not have too many intersections.

Such geography, destined to be a three-legged tripod deer southwest of the situation, the three resources are not shared, Li’s have, Yang’s do not have, Yang’s have, Qing’s do not have.

War is never without reason, resources are the purpose of war.

But some people had said they had been to the Central Plains in the East earlier in their lives, and it was much more prosperous, with large human settlements even beyond the barriers.

But the post-calamity world had long since ceased to be the one they recognized.

The zero hour of New Year’s Eve had just passed, and Hu Hu had probably already returned within the 108 barriers, with the three war machine generals forcefully cantoned at the place where the three families intersected, waiting for the real war to come across dozens of miles away.

Yan Liu Yuan and the others were exuberant at first, but they couldn’t withstand the late hour and also went to bed, Ren Xiaosu was sitting alone by the campfire thinking about the plan about the future, thinking about how to keep everyone alive in this war.

According to the nonsense, he could send Yan Liuyuan and the others to live in the 108 barriers, even if the experimental body came over to attack, it would be impossible to subvert a heavily defended barrier again, and the war between the three consortia would not be able to burn over so quickly.

War was a game of chance, and no smart person would bet the whole table at the beginning.

Snow fell in the sky again, and the door of a house suddenly opened, Yan Liuyuan walked out with his clothes on and sat next to Ren Xiaosu, “Brother, are you worried about this war?”

“Uh-huh,” Ren Xiaosu responded.

“Why don’t we leave here,” Yan Liuyuan whispered, “We can still live just as well even if we live in the deep mountains and old forests.”

Ren Xiaosu glanced at him and said, “No contact with the outside world from now on?”

“Brother I know you want to go to the 88 barriers to look for sister Xiaoguan, but why isn’t she the one to look for you,” Yan Liuyuan said, “Actually I’ve inquired about the location of the 88 barriers but I don’t want to say anything about it because I don’t really feel that we’ll be any different when we get to the 88 barriers, she’s an important person in the Yang Consortium, whereas we are nothing more than stragglers.”

Ren Xiaosu looked at Yan Liuyuan, they had actually disagreed a lot in the past, for example, Yan Liuyuan didn’t want to go to school and wanted to hunt to help him, but Ren Xiaosu had refused them all, and the two of them had even broken out into fights as well.

But this time, Ren Xiaosu realized that Yan Liuyuan was resisting the word barrier from the bottom of his heart, so much so that even the people in the barrier were given to hating it together.

Yan Liuyuan said, “Brother, we are not welcome at the ledge.”

Ren Xiaosu sighed, “When you went to school in 109 Barrier every day you came home saying that you got along well with your classmates, now it seems that you lied.”

“Well,” Yan Liu Yuan nodded, “No one wants to talk to Da Long and I. They even still hide far away, their parents have told them a thousand times that they are afraid of them being friends with me. In class the teacher asked me to answer questions, I couldn’t keep up because I hadn’t learned it before, the teacher would say that it was normal for stragglers to not be able to learn it, stragglers are all dumber. Once a classmate lost something, everyone suspected that Wang Dalong and I stole it ……”

Ren Xiaosu was silent, that was the walled people’s stereotypical impression of the stragglers, it was their inherent decades of knowledge.

Yan Liuyuan continued, “They searched me and Wang Dalong’s seats and found nothing, but at that time, Sister Xiaoyu often slipped me pocket money, a lot of it, more than any other student. When the teachers saw the money, they said I must have stolen it, because it’s impossible for a straggler to have that much money.”

“I tried to explain anything to them, but it was no use, Wang Dalong was scared and cried, but don’t worry brother, I didn’t cry because you said the world never believes in tears,” Yan Liuyuan said, “Brother, I don’t like barriers and I don’t like barriers people, maybe Sister Yang Xiaoguan is different, but what about her relatives and friends?”

Ren Xiaosu sighed, “I don’t know.”

“So, brother,” Yan Liuyuan’s tone rose resolutely, “Wait for her to come to you; if she doesn’t come, then your journey all the way north to 88 Barrier will be meaningless. You once told me not to let the sadness of this era become my sadness, but the sadness of this era has become a cancer in the bones of the walled people.”

“You should have given me the word then,” said Ren Kousu.

“What would you have done?” Yan Liuyuan looked to Ren Xiaosu.

“I will kill all those who wronged you,” Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, “We can’t go to the north right now, we will send you to 108 Barrier first thing in the morning, you don’t need to go to school, let Ms. Jiang Wu teach you, even though she is only a language teacher, she has received a comprehensive education, she can teach you mathematics, science and chemistry or more than enough. you guys math, science and chemistry is still more than enough.”

Yan Liu Yuan’s eyes lit up when he heard this, “I like Ms. Jiang Wu, I think she’s quite suitable for you.”

“You’re a little kid,” Ren Xiaosu glanced at him.

However, right at this moment, Yan Liuyuan suddenly raised his head to look towards a hillside, Ren Xiaosu followed his gaze, only to find that the Wolf King was standing there alone, looking at Yan Liuyuan from afar.

Ren Xiaosu was very sure that the wolf king was not looking at himself, this scene had also appeared when he was fleeing before, at this time Ren Xiaosu was a little puzzled, the wolf king had long ago taken his wolf pack into the deep mountains, as a result, the night Yan Liuyuan came to the outpost, it actually came over to take a look even at its own risk.

Ren Xiaosu asked, “Have you ever crossed paths with this Wolf King?”

“No,” Yan Liuyuan shook his head.
