At this point, there is basically no objection.

Only Chen Mengyu was a little worried about whether the transaction would be completed smoothly, and Bai Ye assured us that there was no need to worry, because such a transaction was a common thing for them and for those wanderers.

This matter was quickly settled, and it happened that tomorrow was the next "trading day", and if we just disguised ourselves and kept a low profile, no one should notice us.

Then there is only one problem we have to face, that is, we have to beware of Wei Yuanhu's tracking.

Actually, I'm not worried about a head-on conflict, because after our people converge, plus the help of the bounty hunters, there is no pressure to deal with these townspeople, all I'm worried about is whether this Wei Yuanhu will stumble on us in secret, after all, he is much more familiar with the surrounding terrain than us, in case of a sneak attack or destruction when we are not paying attention, it will be troublesome.

White Night also told us not to worry, because although there are many camps in the vicinity, the survivors are not large enough to search in such a vast area.

What's more, most of the survivors are also reluctant to leave the camp too far, after all, there are many unknown dangers in the outside world, and we basically don't have to care about Wei Yuanhu's tracking, because this possibility is too small.

Instead of worrying about Wei Yuanhu, it would be more realistic for us to worry more about those Burmese Gu Masters who don't know the number and where they came from.

We don't have any good defenses right now, the only thing we can do is to try to hide ourselves and keep them as small as possible.

As a result, we ended up stopping the convoy at a place with a backdrop to a hill that was somewhat similar to the rocky hill on our island, but more than twice as big as it was back then.

The geographical advantage of this place is that relying on the hill will allow us to achieve the highest degree of concealment, but the disadvantage is obvious, that is, there is no water source nearby, which is actually why the survivors did not choose to settle here.

However, we can't be too demanding now, and the problem of water can also be solved by manual transportation.

In addition, I had the Bounty Hunters and the White Nights each split their men to patrol on a rotational basis, and there was nothing wrong with that, as safety is good for all of us.

After a pause in the place, Hakuya handed us the food and water he had brought with him when he had withdrawn from the town, and he seemed a little reluctant to give the bounty hunters food, but he didn't say much at my glance.

While eating, I further checked with White Night about their previous situation in the town, in fact, the main thing was to find out why they dared to take such a risk to help me.

Bai Ye smiled and said that he understood that I must have concerns about their identity now, and he said that they were actually forced to do so, and the survivors were very convinced of the rumors, and they were all holding a "sit and wait" attitude, not seeking their own way out, but praying that the catastrophe would dissipate on its own, and the Gu creatures would die on their own.

The spread of this sentiment is so severe that almost half of the survivors now have this kind of thought, so these people have not been in a hurry to enter Dongkou Province.

But Bai Ye and the few people he brought out didn't think they were so optimistic, they knew that going on like this would definitely be a dead end, so they chose to help me and follow me.

I nodded, then frowned and said, "So...... What you're doing now is speculation in the end?"

Bai Ye didn't say anything, but looked at me meaningfully.

I continued: "If you and I want to cooperate, we must be honest with each other, and I will tell you the truth, the other living people I have seen in South China and North China Province are not good things, some are cruel, some are weird, and if you and your people fall into their hands, I guarantee that you will not survive for a day. ”

"Oh?" Hakuya seemed surprised: "What do you want to ask?"

"I only want to know two things, first, why are the other survivors so confident that the cataclysm will subside naturally? And the second point...... That's why you're so sure that the cataclysm won't go away, and are you hiding something important from me that proves your point?"

Bai Ye looked at me fixedly: "I didn't expect you to be young, but you have a lot of eyes." ”

"I'm not alive because of my psychic power alone. I raised my hand and said, "Although this thing can be more than one enemy, it is far from being the opponent of thousands of troops. ”

Bai Ye nodded: "So far, I don't need to hide it, but what I want to explain is that the reason why I didn't say it ...... I'm afraid of arousing your suspicions......"

"Doubt?" I immediately had a number in my mind, knowing that this white night had mentioned that he had worked as a cook under the Salvation Army, in fact, I had already guessed that this thing was talking nonsense, because how could the Salvation Army raise a "professional chef"?

I smiled and continued, "Let me guess...... I think...... You must have been a Salvation Army combatant before, right?"

Bai Ye didn't have any surprised look this time, and he didn't have any intention of hiding himself, but nodded straight and admitted: "That's right, I used to be a captain under Zhang Tao, and after Zhang Tao was killed by you, I took advantage of the chaos to leave the Salvation Army. ”

"Why?"

"Because the Salvation Army has begun to recruit civilians in large numbers to join the armed forces in the later period, such a Salvation Army is mixed, and there will definitely be a big mess in the future, so it is better to follow them and find another way to make a living, so I left them with dozens of brothers. ”

After finishing speaking, Bai Ye symbolically pointed around and said, "About half of the people who participated in this operation were also Salvation Army members before. ”

I took a slight breath, this was a bit unexpected to me, I thought that Bai Ye was the Salvation Army alone, but now there are so many more!

It's no wonder that they can have such strong combat effectiveness when they are fighting in the town, and they are veterans who have retired from the Salvation Army for a long time!

Now I'm going to have to overturn my previous opinion, if they are allowed to fight these bounty hunters, the bounty hunters will probably not take advantage of it......

And the resentment of these people against the previous raids of the bounty hunters is only the emotions of a small number of real civilians, and their hatred of the bounty hunters is actually more because the two were originally in a hostile position in North China and South China.

Now it's interesting, in a short period of time, I have gathered a series of people who have served the Salvation Army and the Blue Bird Company, two of my nemesis.

If you count Zhao Tian, who was once captured by me, then I am equal to people from all three sides.

Speaking of Zhao Tian, I don't know where this thing ran away after losing contact with the villa area, although this guy is not very likable, but I actually need him now, after all, this person has a certain status among the wanderers, with him, some plans may be more careful and less detours.

"So...... You learned from the Salvation Army that the worm virus doesn't die out naturally, right?" I asked.

"That's right. Bai Ye nodded: "This is a well-known thing in the Salvation Army, the root of the Gu worm virus is in the living thing itself, unless the virus completely turns all living things into lifeless dead things, otherwise the virus will not die." The characteristics of Gu worm viruses are precisely to store and control organisms, but they will not kill organisms, which makes it completely impossible to let them die naturally without human intervention and reversal. ”

"Didn't you explain this to the other survivors?" I asked, frowning, "Is it because of ...... Among these survivors are some of the spiritual leaders, who have created this illusion in their words?"

"There are indeed people who do this!And these people have far more influence than the spiritual leader!" Bai Ye said: "This is a group of people who claim to be from Taoyuan Island, they say that it is now the only place in the world that has not been infected by the Gu worm virus, and all those who want to go must wait for this catastrophe to recede, and then pass the Gu worm virus test before they can enter." ”

"Now that the catastrophe is gone, why do you want to go to that bullshit Taoyuan Island?" My first reaction was that this group of people should be similar to some kind of charlatans, but this is still a gang of charlatans.

"Because they have all the order of civilized society there, people can go back to normal life directly, you know, it is not easy to restore order, and this attraction is undoubtedly great for the ignorant. ”

"How many of them are?"

Bai Ye shook his head: "The whereabouts of this group of people are very mysterious, and their number has been changing, at most there is a good team of three or four hundred people, and when it is few, there are only a few. But they would often bring some sustenance to the camp of the survivors, not in small quantities, but with little interruption, and more importantly, they would bring scarce items such as ...... Cooking oil, salt, and even a lot of medicines have been brought. ”

I frowned, it seems that this group of people has extremely sufficient logistics reserves!

Strange, where did these people come from? First of all, I can rule out South China and North China Provinces, these two places do not have a place to hide these materials, not to mention others, the moon spirit alone is now enough to loot all the supplies.

Dongkou Province is the world of wanderers, so naturally it is impossible, so are these people from other provinces?

I suddenly thought of a great possibility!

Because among the forces I know now, only the group of people from the other provinces are from the whip boy! Could it be this group?!

I hurriedly asked about the appearance of those people in the white night, and the white night shook his head and said that these people were all ordinary people's equipment, but they were all neatly dressed, not like people who had experienced the catastrophe, which was why the townspeople believed in these people so much.

Then I asked him if there was a particularly handsome man about my age, but Bai Ye shook his head and said that the people who came to deliver the supplies often changed, and he couldn't remember the faces of everyone.

"Why? Have you seen them?" asked Hakuya strangely.

I hesitated, but finally told him about the fact that we had been arrested and then killed several of our teammates, and Bai Ye smacked his tongue again and again, saying that the Salvation Army had never done such a horrific thing, not even when he was conducting the Origin Project experiment at the Blue Bird Company.

It wasn't until I mentioned the mural that the white night suddenly slapped his leg, jumped up and said, "Damn!

Although I had expected it, I was still a little shocked.

"Did you see their murals too?"

"They're all coming in a kind of propaganda van with the kind of mural pattern you said!"

"Really, what's up there?"

"Most of them are some patterns that represent the beautiful life of Taoyuan Island, but there are also many narrative paintings that tell how they fight with Gu things! Some of the patterns are painted in a style that can be described as weird! In short, it makes people look very uncomfortable......"

The narrative paintings mentioned in the second half of the White Night do not need to be guessed to be exactly the same as the murals I saw in the castle before, and the scenes of fighting with all kinds of weapons and all kinds of strange Gu creatures will often flash when I am thinking nonsense.

Bai Ye continued: "I don't really understand why they are making these pictures, is it to brainwash people?"

"I don't know. "I also told Bai Ye about the content and experience of the murals I had seen before, but the discussion was still fruitless, and I always felt that these murals must have some deeper uses, but I couldn't think of any clues......

At the end of my conversation with White Night, a small number of people who had previously participated in the town's rebellion, but had not been able to retreat with our convoy for various reasons, had also recovered the special traces left by White Night.

They said that Wei Yuanhu had now re-stabilized order in the town, and that they were now completely in a state of entrenchment, so I didn't have to worry about pursuit.

It was a reassuring reassuring pill.

......

In the second half of the night, Lu Ming and the remaining bounty hunters also returned, but their situation was a little complicated, I saw that Lu Ming and several bounty hunters were covered with blood, although there was no attrition, but two bounty hunters' legs were broken, and Lu Ming's own shoulder was also severely injured, as if he was directly dislocated from the shoulder joint.
