"Forget it, let's let them go this time."
After Zhao San finished speaking, he looked at Wei Tiangong and the others intentionally or unintentionally.
"ah?"
"Oh, what a pity."
The rest of the people showed unwilling and helpless expressions on their faces.
Gu Tiangong and his companions finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If a fight really breaks out, they will probably still help Chen Guodong and his men, right? This will undoubtedly offend the people of Zhaojiabao. It will be difficult for their families in the fort to get out safely.
“It is true.”
A sneer appeared on Zhao San's lips.
He was wondering why Wei Tianyuan reacted so violently before. It seemed that this group of people were most likely from Chenjiazhai.
Even though we have more people on our side, if a fight really breaks out, the situation will probably be reversed in an instant.
Even if they are not from Chenjiazhai, I'm afraid we can't expect them to be of much help in something like robbing prey.
Zhao Laosan's eyes turned cold.
If that's the case, what's the point of having them? Level 1 Body Tempering? There aren't many in the village, but there aren't many either. However, it would be a pity to kill these people. So, when we go back, let them do hard labor like the others in the village.
The truck drove by without incident.
Chen Fan's tense spirit slowly relaxed.
He heard most of the conversation in the other car. It seems that the people from Zhaojiabao are not good people either.
Uncle Wei and the others have helped me and others once again.
As they watched the group from Zhaojiabao disappear from their sight, envy flashed in everyone's eyes.
It would be great if they also had a car, so they wouldn’t have to work so hard. If they are unlucky and encounter a ferocious beast, they won’t be able to escape.
At this moment, Chen Fan's voice rang out, "Dad, have you seen Uncle Wei and the others?"
Everyone was stunned.
“Yes.”
Chen Guodong turned his head, a hint of sadness in his eyes.
Not only him, but Liu Yong and others also felt depressed.
"Dad, I think it's time to let Uncle Wei and the others come back." Chen Fan said seriously.
The village is now thriving, but Uncle Wei and his men, who were the greatest contributors to the village in the past, are not here. How can this be justified
Unexpectedly, no one agreed at first, and the atmosphere was strangely quiet.
"Xiao Fan."
At this moment, Liu Yong said bitterly, "We also want your uncle Wei and the others to come back, but this matter is not as simple as you think."
"Yes," Gao Yang at the side also sighed, "It's easy to get into Zhaojiabao, but it's probably not that easy to get out. In the past few years, most of those who regretted going in and wanted to get out died in there. The occasional ones who escaped were also miserable and died not long after."
"What?"
Chen Fan’s eyes widened.
"Once we agree to join Zhaojiabao, we can't go back on our word, or we will die?"
"almost."
Liu Yong nodded.
"I also know some information about Zhaojiabao." Gu Jianghai took a deep breath and said, "Don't be fooled by the bright and beautiful appearance of Zhaojiabao. In fact, it is rotten inside. The three brothers of the Zhao family rely on their own strength to bully men and women in the village and do whatever they want.
Anyone who dares to resist them will have only one fate, and that is death. Not to mention ordinary people, even warriors, if they offend them, they will have no good life. "
Chen Fan took a deep breath.
Isn't this a local tyrant? Or rather, this is common in the end times.
"Then Uncle Wei and the others..."
He couldn't help but break into a sweat. It was conceivable what kind of people were able to stay in Zhaojiabao and survive until now.
Given Uncle Wei and the others’ personalities, I’m afraid they won’t be able to fit in.
It’s not hard to imagine what that would be like.
"Xiao Fan is right."
Chen Guodong said in a hoarse voice, "When I meet them later, I will ask Zhao San how to let Tiangong and the others come back."
"That's all we can do."
“I hope they’ll let him go.”
As Liu Yong and the others spoke, they had no idea in their hearts that none of the three brothers of the Zhao family were vegetarians.
Tian Gong and his companions were hesitant at the beginning because they were worried about this. In fact, apart from Zhaojiabao, Songjiabao was a better choice, but the requirements were too high. Not only did one have to be a warrior, but one also had to pay a sum of money to be considered a member of the castle. There was no other way. There were too many people trying to squeeze in. Even a warrior who had reached the first level of body tempering could only do so.
In comparison, the requirements of Zhaojiabao are much lower. Except for the elderly, everyone can enter, and they can enter in seconds. Warriors are treated well there. Not only is it much safer to follow the large group hunting when they go out, but they can also get a lot of prey when they come back.
Chen Fan clenched his fists. His intuition told him that this matter might not be so easy.
Because of this incident, the atmosphere in the team became noticeably heavier.
The atmosphere didn't improve until we were two or three miles away from Songjiabao.
Chen Fan looked around and found that there were actually people living here.
It was not a village, but a collection of lonely little houses, surrounded by walls. Some of them did not even have walls. The doors were open and it was pitch black inside, and no one knew whether there was anyone inside.
“These are people who have nowhere else to go.”
Gu Ze's voice sounded, "No village is willing to accept them, and Songjiabao doesn't agree to let them get too close, so these people can only live here. Go to Songjiabao to beg during the day and come back before dark. You will see these people later."
Chen Fan nodded. The wall was only about one meter high. Ordinary people couldn't stop it, let alone ferocious beasts. If you were not careful and went out to relieve yourself at night, you might be dragged away by the ferocious beasts.
The further we went, the more people there were, and even some small villages appeared. The walls were two or three meters high and there were watchtowers with people watching over here.
"That seems to be Linjiazhai."
Gu Ze followed Chen Fan's gaze and said, "There are more people than in our village. I heard it's not easy to get in."
"Is it because it's close to Songjiabao?" Chen Fan asked.
"Well, there are many people in Songjiabao, including many warriors. I heard that there are several cannons in the fort, which once repelled a high-level beast. Therefore, many people cannot enter Anshan City, so they want to enter Songjiabao as a second choice."
Chen Fan thought for a moment and asked:
"Living in Songjiabao is definitely safe, but the surrounding area may not be safe."
"You are right."
Gu Ze nodded.
"The more people there are in a place, the stronger the smell will be, and the more it will attract fierce beasts to gather. Those fierce beasts can't enter Songjiabao, but it's not difficult to attack these people. If a high-level fierce beast appears, it will most likely attack these places first."
"Advanced, fierce beast."
Chen Fan took a deep breath and looked at the Lin Family Village behind him. There was no doubt that if a high-level ferocious beast really attacked here, the consequences would be self-evident.
"In fact, those cities, including those surrounding the three megacities, are also like this. The stronger the defense force, the more people go there."
Gu Ze continued, "It's just that most people can't get in, so they pay a high price and live in the houses built nearby, which is considered to be the qualification to enter the city."
"Qualifications, so there are other conditions?"
"So what do you think? Take the nearest Anshan City for example. If ordinary people want to go in, they can only live in the several villages around it, wait for the city to be built for free for a few years, and then pay a fee to be included in the waiting list. As for when it is your turn, just wait." Gu Ze shrugged.
“Would anyone really do that?”
Chen Fan frowned, there was too much room for maneuver here.
Moreover, the awakened ones guarding Anshan City are the ones who put Sister Meng Yu under house arrest, right
"Of course. Otherwise, where do you think this information came from? It must have come from the discussions on the streets of Songjiabao."
"Songjiabao is coming!"
Someone shouted excitedly.
Chen Fan raised his head and looked forward, only to see a city three or four hundred meters away that was more than ten times the size of his own village. It was like a huge monster that suddenly appeared in the wilderness.
