Chapter Five Scavengers Camp(2/2)
Three people left halfway on the road, which also confirmed Xu Qing's previous judgment that they were temporarily grouped together.
On the seventh day, after the two scavengers with knives also left, only Xu Qing and Lei Dui were left.
That night, at the foot of a mountain, next to a bonfire, the old man from the Lei team looked at Xu Qing, who had eaten the steamed buns in small bites, carefully put away half of them, and spoke slowly.
"Kid, we can reach our destination at noon tomorrow. That's where I live. It's a camp where scavengers gather."
Xu Qing raised his head and looked at the old man.
The old man looked into the distance and continued to speak.
"Scavengers' camps are often built next to restricted areas, so there is also a restricted area outside the camp on the other side of the mountain."
"Compared to the Chucheng Forbidden Zone you were in before, it has existed there for a long time. Not only are there ferocious beasts, but also more dangerous places, and it is extremely heterogeneous. If an ordinary person goes in for a day and does not come out, he will definitely die. Even me, in this place
It can last up to seven days inside.”
"But there's a lot of horse chestnut there, which is necessary for refining white elixir."

pick."
When the old man said this, he looked at Xu Qing.
"Do you understand what I mean?"
"What you mean is that the local scavengers in the camp are all desperadoes and will do anything for money."
After Xu Qing heard about Baidan and its effects, he narrowed his eyes, thought about it and then spoke softly.
The old man from Team Lei had a look of surprise in his eyes and smiled.
"Part of your answer is correct. What I want to tell you is that in the scavenger camp, the rule is that the weak will eat the strong, and strength will prevail."
"But at least it is a place to live, and there is a market, a place for buying and selling daily necessities, and even caravans come here from time to time, so every house in it has a lot of value."
"So it's not just anyone who wants to come in. Every stranger who wants to get the right to stay needs to go through an animal training. This is the rule set by the camp owner."
"And if you pass successfully, I can allow you to live with me for a fee." The old man looked at Xu Qing and spoke slowly.
