Luo You leaned slightly, his muscles tense, as if he was carrying the entire burden of his body.
He turned his head with difficulty, trying to find a suitable angle to look at Somo.
Finally, their eyes met and they looked directly at each other.
Luo You frowned slightly as he tried to read more information from the other party's eyes, but the other party showed no signs of weakness and responded to him with firm eyes.
The two of them just looked at each other quietly, as if they were engaged in a silent contest, and the atmosphere became extremely tense and solemn.
The three people who were joking not far away immediately fell silent and got together after noticing this strange change.
In just a few seconds, their minds raced through several plots.
"Tsk, tsk, does this scene look like the young master of a wealthy family escaped and was found by the housekeeper?"
"You mean Brother Ji is a butler?"
"Well, I didn't say it, I just said, doesn't it feel a bit like it?"
"I don't think so. It's more like siblings having a conflict over something. They agreed not to have any contact with each other until they die, and then they got rich and then felt bad about it, so they came to rescue their brother who was in trouble."
"Hey, it does make sense to say that. If the two of them have deeply loved the same woman, then the feeling will be corrected."
"Hehe, no wonder this boss Ji has such a good attitude towards those two children. Could it be said?"
The three of them whispered to each other and couldn't help laughing as they talked.
I really don’t blame them for thinking this way, but the behavior of the two of them now is really strange.
After about a hundred meters forward, Luo You breathed a sigh of relief and turned his head back.
"Do I have any other options?"
"Of course. If you choose to give up, then I will turn around and leave now." Sumo looked at the room that was already lit with fire in the distance and said softly:
"The things I gave to my two children are just an apology for my rude visit."
"Huh? Why?" Luo You's tone showed a trace of surprise. He could tell that Sumo was not telling lies. His intuition kept telling him that if he chose to give up now, then this mysterious man would really turn around.
Just head away.
This result was a bit beyond Luo You's expectations.
Since the other party was able to find him and learned that he was actually studying the language of a foreign race, he must have put a lot of effort into the investigation. If he left now, he would not be able to recoup the initial investment.
Do I really have a fourth master and a cousin?
In Luo You's mind, perhaps only true relatives can do this.
At a certain moment, he felt that even if the man behind him was not his cousin, he must have some relationship with him.
"It's very simple. We have a common enemy. I need you to join me to better deal with foreign races."
"But if I kill you in turn, or hinder what you are doing now, wouldn't it mean that I have helped the enemy get rid of a big trouble?" Sumo said with a smile.
Unknowingly, everyone had walked through the lush paths and returned to the earthen house where the Luo family lived.
After the two children made sure that the surroundings were safe and there were no hidden threats, they got busy spontaneously.
He started the stove and took out the bacon jerky that the family had been reluctant to eat for a long time, intending to help this cousin who had come from a long way away.
This kind of well-behaved and sensible thing that needs no words is deeply heartbreaking.
"How did you know that I study foreign languages?" Seeing this scene, Luo You's thoughts finally wavered.
If his leg hadn't been broken, he would never have left so rashly with a stranger.
But now, with him as a drag, the two children are going to be in far more trouble than they imagined.
Maybe there are times when he should stop being selfish and consider other people's feelings.
"Is it important?"
"It's really not important, but I want to know."
"As long as you go to my territory, I will tell you the answer right away."
Even before he came, Sumo had guessed that these smart people might have some quirks, and even his face might not be able to be painted.
But no matter what these people think, they all go back to the territory and talk about it.
At that time, even if these people still insist on leaving or making other choices, he will still have the ability to provide them with appropriate help.
This not only helps humans, but also weakens alien races.
"Your territory? Are you the lord?"
"Yes, the purpose of my coming out this time is to find some people like you."
"It's rare, it's really rare. This is the first time I heard that a lord would come out to find someone by himself." Luo You smiled, and he probably understood the size of the other party's territory.
As for the lord of their reedy field, the territory is less than 20,000 people, and it is difficult to see the lord once every ten days and a half.
The leader of the Hoshino Alliance, Lu Weishang, has never met him in person until he joined the alliance.
After such a comparison, he guessed that Somo's territory might only have a few thousand or ten thousand people.
Maybe even less, taking that rare elite route.
On the World Channel, Luo You saw advertisements for territories that only select top talents more than once.
There are often only a few thousand people in their territory, but their development speed far exceeds that of a territory of 100,000 people, and in some aspects can even rival that of a territory of one million people. And because they have very few burdens, they will not be affected by physical problems.
With quantitative limitations, you can better focus on a certain aspect.
As for the lords of these elite territories, they are basically different from ordinary people.
Like Sumo, who went out to work alone, he could be found in the sea of people to study foreign languages.
At first glance, it seems a little outrageous, but when you think about it carefully, the various behaviors are very consistent with the portraits of these elite lords.
"If I bring my two children with me, I won't be discriminated against when I go to your territory, right?" After confirming his idea, Luo You began to worry about other things.
The biggest reason why elite territories develop so quickly is that there are no burdens to hold them back.
He asked himself whether he could keep up with the progress with his two children, but it was hard to say whether others would think so.
"You always want to protect them, but without your daughter today, I'm afraid you don't know what you have to endure to escape. Let's face the reality. This is a wasteland. Do you think you can protect them for the rest of your life?"
Sumo could understand a father's desire to protect his children, but he also had to give the other party some reminders to avoid any bloody situation in the future.
The reason why he came to Luo You at the first stop was because father and son were all rare talents.
Luo You has a strong sense of observation. Not only can he decipher foreign languages, he is also a natural scout.
The youngest daughter Luo Jiao has a calm temperament and strong analytical skills. Only when paired with Luo You can she repeatedly inflict heavy losses on the alien race.
As for Luo Xiang, judging from the information, this kid can be regarded as a mini version of Feng Long, and he also has high training value.
Before he accidentally leaked information and killed Luo You due to his recklessness, he was just an ordinary squad leader with a bit of fighting talent that ordinary people would envy.
But after Luo You was attacked and killed by aliens, he suddenly transformed into a qualified commander.
Until the future disaster of the ruins is over, he is still active on the Long Banner front line and is one of the generals who is good at commanding assaults.
Now I don’t know if it was Luo You’s lameness that made Luo Xiang enter the maturity stage early.
Anyway, even according to the information, without Luo You, the two of them can still live better than ordinary people.
"I"
"Okay, pack your things and we'll set off tomorrow."
Seeing Luo Jiao coming out, Su Mo raised his head and said with a smile: "Be careful, don't let the two children find out. They are not as naive as you and are always making unrealistic fantasies."
Innocent?
When someone said this for the first time, Luo You smiled bitterly and did not refute it.
In a sense, he is indeed quite naive.
In fact, these people upstream and downstream of the reed marsh were jealous of their harvest, and it was no longer just a day or two.
But Luo You has always felt that jealousy is jealousy, and these people will not take action because of it.
In addition, due to the recent stabilization of the Hoshino Alliance, the security is much better than usual.
However, the result was a slap in the face.
It was his naivety that put the family in danger.
If Sumo hadn't appeared in time, I don't know what kind of trouble it would have caused in the end.
Right now, he was still naively thinking about how to protect his two children, but he ignored their thoughts.
Sumo revealed the reality so nakedly, which not only made him feel uncomfortable, but also had to admit it from the bottom of his heart.
"Push your father in. My cousin also brought you some other gifts."
Lao Ma and the other two brought over the things they had bought at the pier in time. Luo Jiao took one look at it and said in surprise: "Wild boar meat!"
Compared with fish without fat, wild boar meat with skin is obviously more attractive.
Luo Xiang also ran out after hearing this, and the raised corners of his mouth were even harder to suppress than AK.
However, neither of them was in a hurry to receive the gift, but looked at Luo You.
After receiving a slight nod of affirmation from the latter, he happily took it and rushed into the kitchen.
"Don't worry, my uncle still has some seasoning here, you can use it too."
In addition to salt and chili, I took out six cans of soma.
The jar containing the crushed multiflora spores was so fragrant as soon as it was opened that everyone present trembled.
Not only was Lao Ma and the other three so sweet that they couldn't take their eyes away, even Luo You also swallowed his saliva physiologically.
At the same time, this scene further allowed Luo You to verify his judgment.
Only those in elite territories would pay so much attention to food and bring so many condiments with them when going out.
Ordinary people are not right. How can such a strict rule be found in ordinary territories?
Everyone is still troubled by how to eat enough, and further enjoyment is completely nonsense.
Snap.
snap
Firewood was burning in the stove pit, making crisp explosion sounds from time to time.
Taking advantage of the cooking time, Lao Ma and the other three went out diligently for a circle, taking the initiative to take on the responsibility of sentry.
Somo was sitting in the corner, chatting with Luo You.
Since the two children were around, Luo You did not ask too explicit topics, but asked vaguely about things that interested him.
For example, the current situation of the wasteland, the game between large territories, and the next development direction.
At first Sumo was happy to answer the question, but soon he discovered that Luo You was simply a curious baby.
For an ordinary piece of clothing, he was asked to inquire all the way from the collection of raw materials to the selection of weaving techniques, paying no attention to every detail.
"No, even though I am a lord, I don't know everything."
Sumo raised his forehead and shook his head. He thought to himself, shouldn't these things be studied by the little players in the territory themselves?
He could barely understand the first generation of weaving craftsmanship. Later, after several market competitions, the threshold became higher and higher, and there were several piles of technical information piled up.
And I heard that players on the crafting enthusiast route have already figured out how to make clothes with special attributes, and have even distributed a lot of them on a pilot basis for players on the scavenger route to test.
If all this was told to Luo You, this guy wouldn't know how many questions he would have to ask.
"Let's talk about fishing. How did you find so many fish in the nest?"
"It's very simple." Luo You said naturally: "I deciphered the language of some frog people and learned from them that there is a medicine called "frog meal". After diluting it into water, it can instantly attract fish to gather and catch them.
, it’s a pity that I couldn’t find out the production method, so I could only study their finished products and finally imitated a weakened version of Waju.”
The food of frogmen is fish, but of course they don't fish honestly like humans.
Using special drugs to attract fish to gather and feast on them is a must-have skill for every frogman if he wants to survive.
But unfortunately, not all frogmen are qualified to know how this special medicine is made.
At the very least, the few frogmen Luo You first observed and studied were not qualified to know how to make this drug. They could only trade it from other frogmen for use, thereby establishing an exploitative class in the entire frogman group.
"What about your legs?"
"After one drink and one peck, I discovered the wonder of frog gathering. In order to find out the specific method of making this drug, I tried to catch several frogmen for interrogation, but I didn't expect that one time I forced a confession from the frogman."
, Luo You turned his head and glanced at Luo Xiang, who was busy in front of the stove fire, and said with a relieved smile:
"The past is in the past and there is no point regretting it. It is better to learn these lessons and prepare for future actions. In short, there is absolutely no room for relaxation between humans and aliens. Perhaps it was doomed from the moment I started targeting them.
They will also end up with the same outcome.”
"Extend your legs and let me see."
Sumo lifted up Luo You's disabled left leg, opened his trouser leg and saw the shocking injury underneath.
Just at the fascia connection below the knee socket, there was a huge bite wound across it.
Judging from the size and shape of the row of fine holes in the wound, it just fits the frogman's fangs.
Although the surface of the hole had scabbed and healed, and bright red flesh had grown out, the bitten fascia could not heal naturally, resulting in the left leg being unable to exert force and in a semi-disabled state.
Of course, this is also a blessing among misfortunes. The frogman's bite force is not strong, so Luo You can barely keep the entire leg. If it were a crocodile man, he would probably bite off the whole leg.
"You're lucky, you only broke some fascia, and your recovery is pretty good."
Somo pressed back and forth, especially on the wounds, and stopped before Luo You could cry out in pain.
"Then can I still cure this?"
This is the first time I heard that someone did not give some euphemism to indicate that the leg was useless after the examination.
Luo You was stunned for a moment, and then looked over suddenly, his face full of hope and desire.
If I hadn't seen the light, I could have endured the darkness.
Suddenly from a normal person to a disabled person, he can almost be equated with a burden.
Including today's situation, if he was in good health, the two of them could calmly jump into the water and swim away.
But the other party grasped this point, which put them in a dilemma, and they could only survive in the cracks.
Even with two children present, Luo You still had the thought of committing suicide more than once in the dead of night.
"In what capacity are you asking me?"
"identity?"
Luo You was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately: "Lord, can I still cure this?"
"Then it depends on how you behave next. After all, I don't run a welfare home."
The voice fell.
Sumo smiled, and Luo You, who was sitting opposite, also laughed.
He had to admit that this was definitely the best news he had heard in more than two months since he became disabled.
There is no one.
Even if he is only allowed to restore his most basic mobility, Luo You is confident that he can achieve great results.
"Dad, cousin, Uncle Ma's meal is ready, you guys come over and eat."
"Okay."
People feel refreshed when happy events occur.
In the past, Luo Xiang had to support him to get out of bed, but today Luo You insisted on using crutches to get out of bed.
I noticed that Luo You's mental state suddenly changed. If the two children said they were unhappy, it was all lies.
When he looked at Somo again, his eyes changed from the initial closeness to more admiration.
This cousin who appeared out of nowhere is simply the savior of their family!
