Chapter 341: White-eyed wolf

Liang Yu felt it was a bit interesting after hearing that. If what this kid said was true, then taking him along wouldn’t be a problem.

Being able to return alone from the abyss that the Indigenous people leader mentioned, if he got separated, he should still be able to survive.

If there were any special circumstances, Liang Yu would definitely intentionally get separated. He had too many secrets, and it was impossible for Wu Er to know them.

Because Liang Yu said to the Indigenous people leader,

“Taking him is not a problem.”

“However, he must listen to me. Otherwise, if he acts on his own, I cannot guarantee he will return alive.”

Liang Yu’s meaning was already very clear: taking him along out of respect for the leader’s face was fine, but if you want him to return alive, then he must listen to me in all matters.

If he doesn’t listen to me and causes trouble himself, I won’t bother with him.

Anyway, the underlying meaning was just one: listen to me and you live; otherwise, if you die, don’t blame me.

The Indigenous people leader sighed, turning to look at Wu Er, who still stubbornly said,

“I must find my parents.”

His meaning was also very clear, in contrast to Liang Yu not wanting to bother, saying that it was his own business anyway.

Even so, the Indigenous people leader still said a word to Liang Yu.

“It’s troublesome.”

“If possible, please try to check first.”

Hearing the leader say this, Wu Er knew the leader had agreed, so he said excitedly,

“Leader, are we leaving tomorrow?”

“Or are we leaving right now!!!”

From Wu Er’s words, it was clear he was very eager at the moment.

However, his eagerness was useless. The Indigenous people leader told Wu Er a cruel truth: the abyss had been covered in thick fog these past few days, making it impossible to cross for at least two days.

Upon hearing this news, Wu Er instantly deflated like a punctured ball, his head drooping.

Liang Yu still felt nothing; going now or two days later made little difference to him.

However, these extra two days would be perfect for him to gather more information about the abyss.

After seeing Wu Er leave dejectedly, the Indigenous people leader arranged a resting room for Liang Yu.

At Liang Yu’s strong insistence, he was ultimately assigned a secluded house, and he told the Indigenous people leader that he didn’t need to be disturbed for the next two days as he needed to study something, and no food needed to be sent; he would naturally come out after two days.

Although Liang Yu’s request was a bit strange, there wouldn’t be much of a problem if he just stayed in the room. The Indigenous people leader didn’t fully trust Liang Yu either.

After Liang Yu entered the house, he found three people and gave them a task: to watch Liang Yu. As long as he didn’t leave the door, they were to watch him and not concern themselves with anything else, just keep an eye on him.

Liang Yu didn’t care what was happening outside. He took out a machine and projected his image into the room, while he himself took the opportunity to return to the surface.

Upon returning to the surface, Liang Yu found that it was already afternoon. Liang Yu was now feeling sleepy; he hadn’t slept well these past two days.

After taking off his armor, he went back to his room and lay down on the bed. He fell asleep within two seconds of touching the bed, which also gave someone an opportunity.

Meanwhile, at this time, the figures of Underground Monsters also appeared in the Town. They crawled out from the deep pit and, upon reaching the surface, began to roar towards the sky, seemingly declaring their arrival.

However, unlike last time, the people in the Town had all left this time, so their actions had no effect whatsoever, nor did they cause any unrest among the Survivors. For a time, losing their target, they wandered aimlessly in the Town like headless flies.

On Qu Baoguo’s side, everyone had woken up, and each person had been assigned a task.

Apart from the necessary people going to search for living supplies and food, all remaining individuals were to participate in the construction of defensive fortifications.

After their discussion, they finally decided to stay here.

This was considered the safest and best location among all places.

One thing that no other place could replace was the abundant water source here. Simply by virtue of this advantage, it had become the optimal solution at this time.

Time slowly passed, and the outside temperature dropped, gradually allowing Survivors to go out and move around.

Qu Baoguo’s side dispatched seventy-two people to search for supplies in the distance, and he specifically allocated twelve sets of equipment to them. It should be noted that they only had a total of twenty-four sets given by Liang Yu, so letting them take half was quite generous.

Of course, these equipment sets were designated for specific Survivors, those who were trustworthy and had shared hardships with them. Otherwise, if given to newly joined Survivors, there was a real risk they might just run off with the weapons and equipment.

Just as Qu Baoguo and his group were striving for survival, the remaining Survivors on the other side encountered a situation.

The two remaining groups of Survivors here, those who chose to join another Survivor base, left without hesitation once it was possible to move outside. These dozens of Survivors immediately departed and went to join the Survivor base.

The remaining dozens of Survivors who wanted to wait and see were now dumbfounded. This was completely different from what they had imagined.

For a moment, they were also unsure whether to follow those Survivors and join them.

As they were still contemplating, someone stood up and told them,

“Let’s go directly to Qu Baoguo. As long as he can give us supplies, what’s wrong with joining them?”

Someone below, however, raised a question.

“Wouldn’t it be bad for us to do this? After all, they did give us this place to stay.”

However, no one agreed with this statement. They all thought that the other party definitely wanted to take them in; otherwise, why would someone do this? If there wasn’t an ulterior motive, why would they help people like themselves?

So, this Survivor was convinced that Qu Baoguo had taken a liking to their group, and thus he also wanted to use this point to obtain some supplies from Qu Baoguo and his people.

In their words, the condition for joining was that those who joined must be given one day’s worth of food and drinking water; only then would they join.

Thinking this, he felt he was giving Qu Baoguo and his group an out, and the other party surely wouldn’t quibble over such a small amount of supplies.

They would follow the path he provided, and at the same time, he would gain food and prestige. So, he found someone to notify Qu Baoguo, attaching all his demands.

It can only be said that this Survivor was correct about one thing: Qu Baoguo had indeed wanted to incorporate everyone under his command at first.

However, he didn’t realize that Qu Baoguo had already given them a chance before.
