…
"Second Boy, how are your parents?" It was Niu Jiagui's voice.
"Yes, they're all right. My mom talks about you all day and hopes that you and cousin will go to the city soon. My sister-in-law is about to give birth." It was probably the voice of the team member called Second Boy.
"We finally managed to gather enough money to send your pregnant sister-in-law to the city. We don't have any extra energy now … Your brother and I are men. We'll be fine. Tell your mom not to worry."
"Uncle, look at you and my brother. You've lost so much weight! How can you call that fine? I've told the captain that we'll smuggle you in first. If you don't go, my mom will scold me to death! "
"Your mother has always listened to me since she was young. It's fine. It's not your fault. Second boy, this village of First Uncle's is descended from the same ancestor. I'm the village chief. I can't just care about myself. Who will take care of the orphans and widows? If I go into hiding, how can I face your grandpa and the others? "
"Uncle, don't be silly. This is the way of the world. You can't take it!"
"You have to take it even if you can't. Second Boy, I know you mean well. Don't talk about it. I've been a village official for so many years. I know what I'm doing."
"If you really don't want to go, then let my brother go. Anyway, I have to take one of you back. Otherwise, I can't go back to see my mom!"
"Er Wa, you don't understand. Your brother and sister-in-law's lives were saved by Huzi's two brothers at the cost of their lives. Huzi and your brother grew up in the same boat. Now Huzi's brothers are gone because of your brother and sister-in-law. What's left of his big family … If he leaves, will he still be human? Even if I don't stop him, he won't go to the city with you. This is a debt he owes! "
"Uncle, why do I find that you and my brother are the same as my mom? You're so stubborn. Can't you see what kind of world it is?!"
"What kind of world it is? No matter what kind of world it is, we can't forget our roots! We can't let others talk behind our backs. "
"Gosh, everyone is dead. Who's going to talk behind your back? The older I get, the more muddled I get! "Second Boy muttered in a low voice.
"Dead? Do you really think it can be covered? "
"Alright, alright, First Uncle, I'm afraid of you. Let's not talk about this anymore, I really admire you! I have something important to tell you. You have to remember it. "
"Tell me, did something happen in the city again?"
"If I tell you, don't go to other villages and spread the news. If you don't do it, you'll lose your head."
"Your uncle isn't tired of living. Hurry up and tell me."
"The price of meat in the city has already risen to 150 Lun per catty. Do you know why Captain is still willing to exchange 130 Lun for a catty?"
"Isn't it because of you?"
"Even if we don't have me, our team can still get 140 Lun per catty in the other villages. I'm worth 10 Lun less per catty. Uncle, you have to remember that the price of meat is going to drop very soon. At that time, not to mention 100 Lun per catty, even 70 Lun can be exchanged for a catty!"
"Falling back again? It rises and falls as they please. Don't the leaders in the city care about it? "
"Leaders? Uncle, what kind of world is this? You're so stubborn! You have to remember that this time the worm meat we brought is enough for you to eat for a while. Don't exchange the remaining energy appendages with other teams. Store them and hide them. When the price of energy rises and the price of meat falls, then sell them. "
"Will it really fall?"
"Who would I lie to? My own uncle? Don't you worry a hundred and twenty times! Now all the teams in the city who got the news are crazily stockpiling energy appendages. This time the price of worm meat is not that simple. It is said that several princes have taken action to monopolize the supply of worm meat in the market. That is why there is a shortage of worm meat and the price of meat has been soaring. "
"What are they after?"
"My uncle, don't you understand? You said that we haven't had a big war with the insects for a long time. If they don't fight a big battle, the worm meat will come slowly and less, and the energy that they can't use will accumulate more and more. The price of the worm meat will also slowly rise. Therefore, they will take advantage of the situation to increase the fire. Their purpose is to squeeze out all the energy stored in the hands of others, including you. Think about it, what will happen if an unprecedented bloody battle breaks out in a short time? "
"What do you mean?"
"Think about it. What is the most consumed in a war now?"
"Human lives?"
"Human lives … there are so many of them outside the city! You can just play dumb in front of me. Once the cannon was fired, wouldn't the energy be splashed out like water? At that time, when the war is over, the energy will be almost used up, and the worm meat will be everywhere. Tell me, at that time, what will be valuable again? "
"Really? Motherf * cker, the people who did this are too infuriating! "
"Lower your voice. Who cares if he has an asshole or not? That's what you call a smart person. He's an ambitious and ruthless person in troubled times. How much did he earn from this rise and fall, going in and out? It is enough for your village to eat for the rest of their lives. "
"I don't believe it. If it was in the age of light, I would have seen this kind of thing. But it is a chaotic world now. People are dying. How can there be people who would do such a heartless thing to their descendants?"
"Tsk, they have done even worse things in the past. So what if they are hoarding and selling now? I don't care if you believe it or not, I believe it! "
"Sigh, it is just like that old saying, if we don't die in the hands of the insects, we will die in the hands of our own people."
…
Chu Yunsheng did not expect that Shu Du city, which was under the siege of the insects, would still have so many "disturbances". Thinking back to Jin Ling city, it was also a pot of rotten porridge. What was even more incredible was that during the evacuation of Hong Kong, ticket scalpers and ticket scalpers were still there.
"Brother, did you remember it correctly? Is this the place?" Lu Ting stopped and looked around, interrupting Chu Yunsheng's train of thought.
"It should be." Chu Yunsheng carefully climbed over a big rock and looked at the edge of the cliff. At that time, he was looking down from the sky, so he was not very sure now that he was standing on the ground.
"Okay, let's go down and take a look." Lu Ting looked at the mechanical watch on his hand. Now that he had gotten what he wanted, he needed to get back before it got dark. No one dared to spend the night with such a valuable thing.
"Do you have a cigarette?" Chu Yunsheng glanced at the few people who were about to go down and sat down beside the rock.
Lu Ting shook his hand and said, "I don't smoke, but I can help you find one. Gen Zi, come here, do you have a cigarette?"
To him, Chu Yunsheng was a mysterious person. Not to mention the fact that he was able to find a large number of appendages without using any equipment, he had never heard of anyone who was lucky enough to find a third-form green-shelled insect. There must be some secrets that he didn't know.
The team member called Gen Zi took out a half-crumpled pack of cigarettes from his combat uniform. It seemed to be a homemade cigarette that was left behind from the age of light. Most likely, it had already gone extinct in the modern era. Only a powerful person would be able to own one.
Chu Yunsheng lit the cigarette and looked into the deep valley again. His brows knitted together. There were still some living plants on the mountain. It seemed like they had survived the darkest era. Under the dim light, there was a faint shadow on the ground, as if there was something hiding behind it.
About twenty minutes later, a faint light flashed three times under the valley. Lu Ting, who had been observing the situation, was overjoyed. "Quick, they found it. Put down the rope and get ready to pull it up!"
He looked at Chu Yunsheng again in surprise. In fact, until just now, he had been wondering if this guy had made a mistake. Perhaps he had mistaken a second-form green-shelled insect as a third-form green-shelled insect. The probability of encountering a third-form green-shelled insect was very low.
"It's coming up, it's coming up!" "Second Baby", who had been talking to Niu Jiagui, said excitedly when he saw a huge shadow rising up.
"Come on!"
…
"Oh my god, look, it's real!"
"I have seen a living one before, it looked exactly the same as this one."
"This carapace is very hard!"
"Where is the wound? How did it die? Did you find the wound? "
"Look, look, it's here."
"It looks like it was pierced by a spear. That's f * cking amazing!"
"Oh my god, did you see that? It looks like it was killed by a spear!"
"No way, I heard that the third-form green-shelled insects that they used to get were all badly wounded."
"Captain, we are going to be rich this time. It's just a wound, it's perfect!"
"Who the f * ck did it? Now that it is in our hands, it is ours. Brothers, get ready to leave!" Lu Ting looked at his watch again and signaled them to quickly tie up the insect's body.
Zhu Jiagui's horizons had been broadened. He had heard from his nephew that even a piece of meat from this thing was equivalent to a year's worth of food for the entire village. He couldn't help but be jealous of the battle team. If 'Sun Sheng' had brought the villagers with this thing yesterday, he would have been able to bring the entire village to the city.
However, he also knew that he did not have the ability to protect this thing. If he did not do it well, he might get himself killed. But this made him feel that Chu Yunsheng was really a "God of Wealth". Chu Yunsheng was much more precious than this thing.
But he didn't have any way to keep this God of Wealth. Last night, he even tried to seduce Chu Yunsheng, but it didn't work at all. Originally, he had already given up on Chu Yunsheng, but now he was attracted by this insect's body again.
But before he had time to think about what to say to Chu Yunsheng, he suddenly heard Chu Yunsheng say in a low voice, "Captain Lu, someone is coming!"
"Huh?" Lu Ting was startled and quickly looked at the team member who was responsible for the sentry.
"Believe me, they have surrounded us." Chu Yunsheng couldn't sense energy fluctuations that were too far away. Ordinary people couldn't sense anything other than the sound, and awakened people could only use Yuan Qi to sense it.
Once he sensed it, it meant that the enemy was already using Yuan Qi to accelerate, and they were very close to him.
"Captain, two o 'clock direction, six o' clock direction, ten o 'clock direction!"
"Fuck them, they are here to pick up ready-made things. Let's throw the insect's body down the valley first, don't let them find it." Lu Ting pulled the bolt of his gun, climbed up a big rock and spat on the ground.
"Wait, there are people down there, if we throw it down there, there will be nothing left." Chu Yunsheng still needed to rely on the third-form green-shelled insect's body to get into the city. If he used the snake's head now, those people probably wouldn't buy it. After all, the insect's body had already been found.
