Chapter 66, A Merchant

Ren Xiaosu didn’t believe in ghosts and monsters, so he looked more carefully after realizing that there was nothing over there, and so on, Ren Xiaosu understood what it was.

Only to see the top of the cavern there are water beads a little bit of penetration down, ticking sound, fell to the cavern floor.

Probably because it was raining, so the water penetrated down a little bit through the rock layer on the top, and just now that person panicked, it was just that his nerves were too tense, so much so that he took this droplet of water as some other imaginary enemy, such as the monster’s saliva ……

But when Ren Xiaosu saw this thing he said to the others as if he had gained a treasure: “You guys can directly catch the water here, the rock formation is like a natural filter that can filter the water quality a little cleaner than well water. Of course, if you’re not sure, you can also boil it before drinking it.”

Xu Xianchu asked seriously, “Really, this water is drinkable?”

“Well,” Ren Xiaosu said, “This is probably one of the cleanest water sources in the wilderness, sometimes even the water coming out of the spring may not be safer than this.”

Hearing Ren Xiaosu say that Xu Xianchu grabbed his own marching pot and went to fetch the water, although the pine needles could replenish some of the body’s water, the amount was still too small after all.

That stuff could only ensure that everyone wouldn’t die of thirst.

Xu Xianchu didn’t monopolize the water source for too long either, he set up the marching pot on the campfire then said to the others, “You guys go and catch some too.”

The others weren’t like Xu Xian Chu who even brought a kettle to boil the water, they could only take it with their mouths, not to mention boil it or not.

A group of people were pushing and shoving under the water source, you drink for a while and I drink for a while, a few people from the private forces were better, everyone took turns, Liu Bu was miserable, no one would give in to him.

Not a moment later, a private army soldier fumed: “so a drop of a drop of enough who drink ah, that Ren Xiaosu pocket and two bottles of water has been hidden until now, he let us lick this stone wall, lick the pine needles, own drink bottled water, who knows this water has no problem?”

A few private troopers didn’t look too good, but Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaoguan had guns in their hands, so they didn’t dare to say anything to their faces.

Ren Xiaosu looked at this scene and thought, his palace would be good if he could put things in it, so that tomorrow he secretly put the bottled water inside the palace, and then told the others that he accidentally lost the water, so that no one would hit him again.

Otherwise, seeing that these people are going crazy for water, it’s unlikely that someone will take the risk of backstabbing himself.

At this moment, two bottles of water were in his jacket pockets on both sides, he put his hand into his pocket to hold the water bottle, and wanted to try to organize the water bottle into the palace again.

As a result, the palace voice immediately rang out, “Have not obtained the authority to organize.”

Ren Xiaosu heard this voice is very upset, you at least say how to obtain this permission ah, why the black medicine can be stowed away, this water bottle can not?

What, the water bottle it does not agree ah?

Ren Xiaosu retreated to the side, Luo Xingyu looked at Ren Xiaosu: “Why don’t you drink?”

Ren Xiaosu looked at Luo Xinyu’s questioning eyes, it was clear that the other party did not believe that he would be so generous ……

Ren Xiaosu smiled, “I drink bottled water.”

Luo Xinyu: “……”

At this time, Luo Xinyu realized that Ren Xiaosu really had a talent for being able to piss people off whenever and wherever she wanted.

But she didn’t know that Ren Xiaosu actually gave up this water source out of very careful consideration, first of all, everyone is very thirsty, this drop by drop water source is definitely not enough, Xu Xianchu as a Transcendent could have exclusive access to catching half a day’s worth of water, and no one else would dare to say anything, but he, Ren Xiaosu, isn’t a Transcendent.

But he is not a transcendentalist. The fact that he has two bottles of water on him has already made some people red in the eyes, so there is no need for him to be greedy for everything.

One of the rules of survival in the wilderness was not to be too greedy, and Ren Xiaosu now needed to let Xu Xianchu understand that if he wanted to survive in the wilderness, the person who could not be missing from the team was him, Ren Xiaosu.

Since there was a transcendent like Xu Xianchu who could lend a hand, why wouldn’t Ren Xiaosu do the same?

There is also the fact that the smell inside the cavern is too strong ……

In this very tense atmosphere Luo Xinyu was originally very afraid, so she chatted with Ren Xiaosu in fact also to ease the fear in her heart, after all, someone to talk to is always better.

As a matter of fact, this method is very effective, when Ren Xiaosu said the four words, Luo Xinyu felt that she was really not afraid at all, and there were only ellipses in her head. ……

Ren Xiaosu curiously said, ”Do you know where all the cigarettes these troops smoke come from? I don’t think there’s a place near Barrier 113 that grows this kind of stuff, right?”

“You don’t know?” Luo Xinyu was puzzled, “Wang Fugui said that you’re someone Luo Lan takes care of, how could you not know about this.”

“What does it have to do with Luo Lan,” Ren Xiaosu froze for a moment, although he had received Luo Lan’s banner, the problem was that he didn’t have any other interactions with that Boss Luo anymore.

“Boss Luo is the Qing Clan Consortium’s spokesperson in Barrier 113,” Luo Xinyu explained.

“What’s his position in the ledge?” Ren Xiaosu was curious, every day she heard Wang Fugui say Boss Luo, Boss Luo, but in fact Ren Xiaosu realized that she seemed to know nothing about this Boss Luo.

“Boss Luo doesn’t have a position,” Luo Xingyu looked at Ren Xiaosu in amazement, “Well it seems like you really don’t know, he’s just controlling the metallurgy, water source, chemical industry and these factories in Barrier 113, if you have to ask what his status is . …then he’s technically only a merchant.”

“Can a businessman call the shots in a barrier,” Ren Xiaosu said thoughtfully, he had previously thought that Boss Luo was the manager of this barrier.

“They don’t need to hold any position by themselves anymore,” Luo Xinyu said helplessly, “They are like a dome above the managers of the barriers, when it’s fine everyone is still at peace with each other, but when something goes wrong, the decision maker in the barriers must be this businessman.”

“He has an army around him?” Ren Xiaosu asked after thinking.

Luo Xinyu glanced at him and said, “Yes, an army, an army that is many times stronger than these private forces, the combat brigade that he stationed in Barrier 113 is beyond your imagination, it is definitely not in the mold of the private forces that you see now.”

This was the meaning of two troops stationed in one ledge ah, although there was a nominal administrator in the ledge, I’m afraid that this administrator’s power had already existed in name only. If you don’t resist, then you will be allowed to enjoy glory and wealth as a puppet.

“But there’s one thing I don’t understand,” Ren Xiaosu said curiously, “Why don’t they just control the barriers and be the administrators, if they have to raise puppets, they’re not farting with their pants down.”

“Because there’s more than just the Qing Clan consortium in this world,” Luo Xinyu said.

Speaking of which Ren Xiaosu understood, there were several consortiums crisscrossing the hundred or so refuge barriers, they teamed up to control the barriers but held each other back, and then seized the resources in a strange mode of cooperation.

“So that tobacco was provided to Barrier 113 by the Qing Consortium?” Ren Xiaosu asked.
