Chapter 645 Strange, the Doubts Lingering over Ordinary People!
The Lord of the Origin Territory made a big appearance. Once he showed up, he caused a sensation in a small part of the area.
For this big man who rarely appeared since he became the Lord of the Territory.
Many local ordinary people had never seen him, and they flocked to him curiously.
Not to mention those foreign travelers who were still staying in the Origin Territory.
However.
This Lord of the Origin came quickly and left quickly.
After simply showing his face in front of a small number of people, he led his people into the fourth large private room of the Main Peak Restaurant and disappeared.
At the same time, there was a big commotion in the Main Peak Restaurant.
First, the two tables of people who were eating in the private room were ruthlessly "driven" out, and several people even had rice grains and oil on the corners of their mouths.
Then, all the people sitting in the hall were told that the meat and vegetables would be delayed for a while and would not be served to them until the Lord finished eating.
But because the two origin coins will be waived in the hall, and the private room will be free of charge and will have a discount next time.
Not only did everyone in the hall applaud.
Even the two tables of An who were driven out were not angry. They just greeted the new lord with respect and left excitedly.
In the eyes of ordinary people, the new lord is like a dragon and a tiger, with extraordinary momentum. No matter how you look at it, he looks like a strong man who can make a career in the wasteland.
As long as you can talk and make friends with such a person, it means you have climbed up a high branch that reaches the sky, and it is difficult not to take off.
But for Su Mo, who was sitting on the third floor and had finished eating and drinking tea.
He was a little bored.
"You still don't know the name of this new lord?"
Holding the rough teacup in his hand and shaking the light yellow-orange tea inside, Su Mo meant something.
Huang Bing, who had also finished eating, sat down and thought for a while, then shook his head: "I really don't know. I have only met the new lord three times, not to mention me, even my superiors may not know."
"Because the rules between the peaks have not changed much, everyone's life is also going on as usual. Except for the promulgation of monetary policy, the new lord rarely speaks out. As for his name..."
Huang Bing hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he came over and whispered: "I only heard someone call him Tyrant Tiger because the former main peak lord was beaten to death by him with both fists!"
"Beaten to death with both fists? Is it so outrageous?"
After Huang Bing finished speaking, the soldier sitting next to him subconsciously exclaimed.
If this happened to an ordinary person, it would be understandable to fight for survival.
But when it happened to the lord, it only made people feel that his status was greatly reduced.
"Yes, regardless of other achievements, in everyone's mind, the new lord's military power is recognized and unquestionable."
"And this is also the reason why so many passing caravans and travelers dare not cause trouble in the territory."
As a guard, Huang Bing obviously knows more than ordinary people.
"Last time, someone relied on the large number of people and guns to make trouble in the territory, but after only one night, this group of people seemed to disappear, and no one knew where they went."
"At that time, we thought it was haunted, and people were panicked. If it weren't for the order from above, no one would know that the new lord secretly dealt with this group of people."
The information provided by Huang Bing in the front was mostly some speculations, and there was no case to support it.
But the latter sentence of this information made Su Mo's heart move.
Beating someone to death with two fists is not a record worth bragging about. It is equivalent to a rogue and a scoundrel, and it does not have any deterrent effect.
But to make a group of armed men suddenly disappear overnight, this is the strength that is exposed.
"Anyway, as long as you make trouble in the Origin Territory, no matter who you are, no matter what weapons and equipment you have"
"It only takes one night, as long as you don't leave the territory, you will definitely disappear mysteriously, no exception"
At the end, watching the waiter who was already holding two Origin Coins walking over, Huang Bing added another sentence and closed his mouth.
On ordinary days, he would never do such a taboo.
This kind of behavior of talking about your own lord behind your back is not a glorious thing no matter which territory it is in.
But facing Su Mo.
First, he was affected by his attitude and courage, and then he was taken to eat such a "luxurious" meal.
If he didn't say something dry, Huang Bing himself would feel blocked.
"Let's go, we still have to go to the street stalls next, so we won't waste time"
After taking the two Origin Coins returned and putting them in his pocket, Su Mo shrugged, stood up and walked down first.
On the way to visit the center of the origin territory.
Su Mo did not talk about what happened before, nor did Huang Bing mention it, as if it had never happened.
As a guide, after faithfully completing his task and taking Su Mo to the two large and two small markets in the territory.
The group returned to the Sanyuan Hotel.
Huang Bing bowed slightly, and rushed to other jobs to make a living in the midday sun.
But what was different from before was that after more than three hours of visiting the origin territory.
Watching him leave at this time.
Not only Su Mo was moved, but even the two warriors were speechless for a moment, and they only thought in their hearts that they were really blessed by their ancestors, and they were lucky enough to become a part of the Tianyuan territory in this life.
Huang Bing's life.
In a sense, it is the ordinary daily life of every ordinary person in the Origin Territory.
Most people here have to do three to five jobs every day to ensure that they have a little surplus after eating enough to prepare for the next disaster.
Only a very small number of people can do only one job and save supplies.
Compared with the villagers of Hope in Tianyuan Territory, the people here are not happy.
Take the small vendors in the market as an example.
They don’t have a formal job in the territory, which means they have to work in the territory at least six days a week.
And in these six days, the food distributed in the territory is only three days.
They have to find a way to make up for the gap of four days.
Either they cut back on their clothes and diet, eat only one meal a day, save as much food as possible to maintain their lives, and wait for the opportunity to turn around like the "welfare disaster".
Or they do more jobs, squeeze their labor more, and try to take out as much time as possible to earn some food.
Don’t want to die, but don’t want to be hungry and weaker.
Most people have to get up at five in the morning and start planning their day.
Most of them will eat some "bark of the taro tree" picked from the mountains in the morning after getting up and washing.
This kind of tree is generally not small, basically more than ten meters, and is a specialty of the mountains in the wasteland.
Although its bark is as dry and hard as stone, it takes more than ten times to cut off a piece with a knife.
But after boiling in water, it will slowly soften like donkey skin until it is very chewy.
Although the bark itself contains a small amount of trace elements needed by the human body, on the other hand, it carries a large amount of plant fiber.
This long and hard fiber is naturally indigestible for the stomach of ordinary people in the civilized era.
In the long run, it will only accumulate in the abdomen and gradually cause various complications.
But the good news is that after the bark is boiled for a long time, the short and soft fibers scattered in the soup can be digested by humans.
Although in the long run, there is still a lot of risk.
But compared to staying alive, these risks are obviously not worth mentioning.
After eating the bark soup and filling their stomachs, these people will go out with the things they prepared the night before.
First, they have to jog down from their residence on the mountain to the center of the territory.
And they have to rush to the location they have already inspected before others and set up their stalls.
Fortunately, there is a curfew in the origin territory at night, and there are also strictly enforced closing and opening times.
This prevents the small vendors from maliciously rolling inward, resulting in the phenomenon of not returning at night and occupying the stalls all night.
From 6:30 to 9:30.
These three hours are their personal free time.
It is naturally a good thing to be able to sell the goods.
But if you can't sell them, there is no way.
When the time comes, everyone can only pack up their things, and then hurriedly follow the way they came in the morning, return to the territory, and start the work arranged yesterday.
From 10 o'clock to 6 o'clock in the afternoon, a full eight hours in between.
Think about it, the food they eat all day is rough food that even the homeless people in the civilized era look down upon.
If it weren't for the disaster, there wouldn't be much to do, and Su Mo would have doubted whether their frail bodies could handle this heavy work.
And even then, these were the people who lived in the front peaks who were doing better.
Looking back, the ordinary refugees in the mountains behind, and the refugees passing by who had not yet joined the territory.
Most of them couldn't even get through the most basic food and clothing barrier.
It made people wonder what to say for a while.
But on the other hand, compared to those refugees who still had no place to live and wandered around.
These ordinary people living in the origin territory were happy and had new goals every day.
Just like Huang Bing.
Even on his days off, he had to work four part-time jobs, but he never complained or felt tired.
"Both of you go and get busy. By the way, take this money and go out and buy some food."
Having understood the internal situation, Su Mo took out all the Origin Coins in his pocket and gave them to the two soldiers behind him.
As for eating, the soldiers naturally don't need him to worry about it.
The dry food that everyone carries with them is enough to last for at least ten days and a half months.
That's not to mention the large amount of supplies stored in the storage space of the support team who are still living on the mountain.
But considering that they are now in the Origin Territory, they still have to do the whole show.
Knowing that the Origin Lord has a way to monitor the territory, Su Mo is naturally very careful and will never make mistakes in such a small matter.
After receiving the order, the two soldiers retreated.
At the entrance of the Sanyuan Hotel, Su Mo was left standing alone, enjoying the sunlight pouring in.
At this point.
Except for the three people who were still sleeping.
Almost all the soldiers went out according to the previous plan for various reasons to go to different places in the Origin Territory to inquire about the news.
As long as they gather at night, Su Mo will be able to get more information he wants.
"It seems difficult to steal someone here quietly."
"At least I have to find out where the Origin Lord is, what his identity is, and what methods he has!"
He noticed that two young men in the corner of the wall in the distance were looking at him using a surveillance method very similar to that of last night.
Su Mo exhaled slightly, forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and turned to walk towards the stairs of his hotel.
It is said that the King of Hell is easy to deal with, but the little devil is hard to deal with.
He was thinking about the Origin Lord and recruiting people.
This group of bounty hunters climbed up without any eyes, which took up a lot of his time and energy.
Now he is even restricted when exploring the territory.
In addition.
Last night, Su Mo originally thought that as long as he found out the intentions of this group of people, he would take them down with thunder and lightning, and completely open a breakthrough in the Origin Territory.
But not long after, after hearing Huang Bing's story about the fate of those people before, and the strange things that happened in the Origin Territory during this period.
He could only change his mind and force himself to find the bottom line in the rules.
Thinking of this, Su Mo sighed.
The Origin Territory is very strange, so strange that anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance how big the hidden dangers are.
But no one really stood up and laid everything out in the open.
Ordinary people living here don't have time to think about these things, so forget it.
But those managers are just like muddling through life, they can only survive one day at a time and live one day at a time.
Is it possible that they have other ways out besides here?
Is it possible that the origin territory collapsed overnight, and they can still run away with the supplies?
"It's just stupid, it's a waste of effort to kill them!"
At this point, after seeing the sufferings of the world, Su Mo has become indifferent. The probability of good people in this wasteland is simply too low.
If you really pin the hope of human beings taking root in the wasteland on these people, it is better to give up now.
Thinking of this, Su Mo went down the stairs and returned to his room.
Looking at the door, which was slightly changed from when he left in the morning.
Su Mo thought about it, first silently moved to the side, pricked up his ears and listened for a while, and then pushed the door in with confidence.
"Hey, Chief, you're back so early!"
"Ha, Feng Long, you're really careful!"
Shutting the door, looking at the three people who were already sitting at the table, Su Mo put aside all his worries for the time being, walked over with a smile and sat down on the stool by the window.
"You can't be careless, Chief, this Origin Territory is really weird, there are problems everywhere!"
After a nap, most of the fatigue on Feng Long's face disappeared, leaving only a little confusion and caution.
It can be seen that after Su Mo fell asleep last night.
The results of the three people's exploration not only include those obvious discoveries, but also many related clues after integration.
"What? What's weird?"
Knowing some information that the three people didn't know, Su Mo was not in a hurry, but just stared at Feng Long with his eyes, waiting for the next step.
"Last night, I was responsible for exploring the official agencies in the eastern area of the Origin Territory. Except for a few places where there were no gaps to enter, I ran through all the other places I could."
"Guan Yu'an explored the official agencies in the western area of the Origin Territory, which was opposite to mine. During this process, what we saw was basically the same, except for those places that could not be entered."
"Among them, most places are still normal, but there are three places that are simply too weird!"
Without keeping people in suspense, Feng Long took out the tablet and displayed the pictures taken last night.
