The towering morning breeze gently caresses across the Dragon Fairy River, and the wide river surface appears to be increasingly vast under the morning light.

The water waves are as fine as scales, shining with the golden light shining from the rising sun, as if they are inlaid with countless golden gems.

Unlike the middle, where hills stand and low hills rise and fall, the terrain of the fire domain in the south is extremely flat, and you can see the edge of the sky at a glance. It is like a landscape painting that spreads to attract endless imagination.

"I don't know if I have a chance to come back next time."

Lao Zhang held the boat and looked at the familiar scenery flashing by the shore, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

In order to hold Sumo's thick legs, he even spared the process of going home to pack up supplies.

But after all, there is nothing to clean up.

In order to prevent thieves from looting their homes after going out, fishermen basically hide their supplies or trade them into something that is easy to carry.

He spent a huge amount of money to buy the sampan a few days ago. The house was so clean that even the mice could not find anything to eat when they entered, so naturally there was no need to go back to sort it out.

"Uncle Zhang, what do you want to come back after leaving here?" Luo Xiang sat at the bow of the boat, sharpening his short knife with the stone he picked up from somewhere.

The sound was sharp and harsh, but the few people who were asleep in the cabin turned a deaf ear and were completely unaffected.

"return"

Old Zhang shook his head honestly and said, "I don't want to do anything. I just feel that after living here for several months, I always feel like I've left so much."

"It's okay. When you arrive at my cousin's territory, you will soon forget about it."

Luo Xiang patted his chest, looking like he was gallbladder.

This behavior made Luo You, who had just woken up, feel speechless and don’t know what to say.

After this silly child came back last night, he kept talking "my cousin".

If he hadn't known the inside story, he would have thought that he had been brainwashed by Sumo.

"Hey, dad, why are you awake?"

Luo Xiang smiled and put down his short knife, "Sleep, sleep, we haven't left the territory yet, and it's estimated that it will take more than half a day to get to where the uncle said."

"Then I'll keep you here for a while. You haven't slept all night yesterday. Don't get sleepy when you're going to do serious business later."

"It's okay, I can handle it young, so wherever I go."

Before Luo Xiang could finish his words, he met Luo You's stern eyes and had to shut his mouth reluctantly.

His father is good everywhere, but these rules and orders cannot be opposed by others.

It was the same before. He and Luo Jiao thought catching frogmen was too risky, but they could not resist Luo You's decision, which led to so many changes that happened later, and the family was forced to fall into a reed marsh.

"Luo Xiang, listen to your father, go and have a sleep."

At this time, another voice sounded. Luo Xiang looked up and replied happily: "Uncle, why are you awake too?"

"I've had a good sleep, let's change it and keep enough energy."

"Okay, just call me if you have something to do."

Luo Xiang agreed readily, twisted his body and lay in the cabin, and the snoring sounded a few minutes later.

It's also a young man who can sleep just by turning his head.

However, Luo You next to him became more and more speechless. He was such a rebellious son. His father's words were not as good as a "coon master" who had known him for a day.

Especially after I came back last night, I really wanted to follow his uncle everywhere.

After hesitating for a while, after the two of them arrived at the bow of the boat, Luo You opened his mouth hard: "Mr. Ji, don't spoil this child's temper too much. His personality is actually like his mother and he is very stubborn. I used strict rules and orders to kill him. I'm worried that you can indulge him so much."

"Worried that he was trained to become a talent by me?"

Luo You was silent after hearing this.

Together, you took my son out to kill someone at night, is he teaching him to become a talent?

After a while, Luo You said with a headache: "I don't care whether this is successful or not, I just want him to live a good life."

"Luo You, this is wasteland, not the earth."

Su Mo curled his lips and added concisely: "If you want him to live well, either try to create an environment that will make children completely worry-free, or you can free them and allow them to have the ability to survive by themselves, otherwise you are harming them, do you understand?"

"You are taking risks yourself, telling them not to take risks. No wonder Luo Xiang will fight you."

"I"

"Boss Luo, let me say something more. I feel that Mr. Ji is actually right. Luo Xiang is not a twisted character." Zhang Yuanba held the boat and grabbed the back of his head.

"He is quite independent, but he is so hard that he is sometimes not sure how to express it."

"Hey, you two"

All the things were told were facts, and Luo You had no choice but to sigh a few times, pretending not to care about this matter.

However, looking at his unwilling expression, Su Mo also knew that it would be difficult to change Luo You's thoughts for a while.

Fortunately, the future is long and there is plenty of time to make him realize the reality.

"This kid has great potential. I will let him be my guard and take him by his side to train him."

"Don't worry, you will surely let you know before performing some dangerous tasks and seek your consent."

Su Mo said this, Luo You had a headache and could only let him do it for the time being.

After a while, the sampan finally shook out of the control of the Hoshino Alliance and came to the chaotic peripheral area.

There were scattered sampans floating on the water, and the fishermen above were in groups of three or five, most of them covered their faces with straw weaving.

When he saw the sampan coming, two or three boats paddled straight over.

"These are protection fees. If you don't give them to him, you will be pestered today and you will not be able to do anything."

Fearing that Su Mo would not say anything, Lao Zhang hurriedly explained: "I'll just deal with them."

Soon, several sampans approached.

After asking about the road, the group of people simply let go without saying a word.

Moreover, when I left, I was very beautiful and had a good time. I wish you a fortune. This cleverness made Su Mo marvel at it.

"Their eyes are very vicious. Who can stop them and who can't stop them, and they can see clearly."

When he found that several ships were flying away, Lao Zhang smiled and said, "In fact, they are all for life. If they did not collect protection fees in this area to mediate conflicts of major and small, the fishermen might have to fight in two or three days to solve the problem. Then the losses will definitely be much greater than those handed over."

"Is they really in charge of the money?"

"Of course, otherwise everyone is not stupid, so you have to give them money." Old Zhang shrugged: "This is wasteland. If he really dares to mess around, it will not be surprising that someone rushed to the sack to death in the wilderness at night."

This is a situation that has not happened in future ruins.

Perhaps the war between humans and aliens at the end of the year was too fierce, which led to a long-term war readiness and chaos in the following years.

Even by the end of the three years, the gathering places of human beings were not as harmonious as they are now, and naturally it is impossible to have so many unspoken rules derived.

"And this kind of thing cannot bring the official guards of the territory to an end. Otherwise, when everyone makes trouble, they will directly point the finger at the lord, believing that his inaction has caused these conflicts."

I found that Su Mo was very curious, and Lao Zhang talked a lot.

Sometimes we talk about the various situations in the gathering place, and then we talk about the development progress of all walks of life.

Luo You was depressed for a while and couldn't help but join the discussion.

"To be honest, I have been to five gathering places, and I often read various discussions on the World Channel, and I have some understanding of the situation on the wasteland." Luo You said slowly, "In my opinion, there are two main problems in the major gathering places in the wasteland that cannot be solved. It is easy to explain what it takes to solve."

"First of all, how to develop industrial development? Everyone actually knows that industry is an important cornerstone to support the sustainable development of a gathering place. However, the threshold for modern industry is too high. Even researchers who are deeply involved dare not say that they can copy it to wasteland, let alone carry out production on a large scale."

Speaking of this, Luo You couldn't help but reach out to touch the pistol that was touching the waist.

He studied the gun for half a night last night and finally came to an amazing conclusion.

This mysterious Lord Ji, his elite territory, probably has begun to take shape in the industrial scale, and at least it has reached the level of the twenty-first century in terms of gun production.

There may still be insufficient production, but the upper limit has significantly exceeded the current average level of wasteland.

"The second is how to cooperate and complement each other with surrounding gathering places. In this world of resource scarcity, fighting alone is obviously not a wise move. After the Hoshino Alliance gathers twelve small territories, the development speed of each territory will be much faster than before. If the major human gathering places in the future can be like the current Hoshino Alliance, and eventually cooperate with and develop with super-large territories as the center, the speed will definitely be beyond imagination."

It's up to the point.

Su Mo nodded slightly, this is the difference between talents and ordinary people in the overall situation.

Lao Zhang was still thinking about how to go to a better gathering place, but Luo You was planning how to get major gathering places to level up and develop.

However, after Luo You said this second point, his eyes looked straight at him.

"What do you think I'm doing?"

"Well, I left in a hurry yesterday, and I didn't ask Mr. Ji what the specific situation of your territory is. Why not talk to us now, so I can prepare in advance."

Upon hearing this, Lao Zhang also raised his ears and hurriedly leaned into the center.

Luo You guessed that the territory behind Su Mo might be an elite territory with only a few thousand people, but Lao Zhang knew nothing.

Fortunately, he is optimistic. Judging from Sumo's generous appearance, at the worst, he is not much worse than returning to the Hoshino Alliance level.

"My territory"

Su Mo raised his eyebrows: "Don't worry about food or clothing. As long as you are willing to work, you can buy anything."
