The remnant sun was like blood, and a floating boat that looked like it was revealing the breath of poverty was slowly falling with black smoke, and from a small opening in the floating boat, more than ten small dots were sprayed out, and these more than ten small dots were the passengers on the floating boat, Zhong Ming, Zhong Ming's fellows from the colonial company, and the only one who survived among the first batch of survivors.

After landing on the ground, it is understandable to see a few guys with unpretentious faces and seem to be crying in a low voice, you must know that the float boat fell halfway, and everyone who has come and gone several times has long known that there are undeveloped wild places along the way, don't want to meet other villages on the road, this is probably more than lucky to walk back by legs.

Zhong Ming was also worried, but he knew that as the president of the company, he must not show a worried look in this situation, after all, if even he collapsed, then everyone would really die here.

So Zhong Ming punched at the most frustrated guy, and then ordered in his own thick voice: "Panic what! I'm not dead yet! Isn't it just that the float boat hit the flock of birds and was shot down? Isn't it just falling in the deserted wilderness? It's a big deal to just go out! The crying little woman simply goes back to her hometown to find her mother, and she needs to cry here?"

"Besides, haven't we ever had such a thing happen before? More than ten years ago, when we were still called a slave company, didn't we once fight with the barbarians and get lost, and only fled back to Pei Siqi after nine deaths? Now it's just a longer journey, what's there to worry about! With me supporting everything, people can still be suffocated by urine?"

With Zhong Ming's encouragement and encouragement, the guys who escaped from the fallen float boat cheered up and packed up the food, fresh water, weapons, ammunition, and the harvest of the colonists that they urgently took before jumping to escape.

A few months later, in Pei Siqi's southernmost slave hunting town, the sentry found that there were black spots on the border, and the vigilant sentry immediately sounded the alarm, and the town quickly mobilized the citizen self-defense force, closed the rudimentary fence, and vigilantly waited for the black spot to enlarge and arrive.

After a while, the Self-Defense Forces saw the source of the black spot, and it was indeed a group of barbarians, but this group of barbarians was still surrounded by a few people.

When the barbarians approached, they saw that the fence had been pulled up, and the barbarians knew that this town was not easy to fight, so they sent envoys to contact the captain of the Self-Defense Force and the mayor of the town, and the two knew that the barbarians were not here to fight the autumn wind, but to send people back to the town.

After a general understanding of the barbarians' intentions, the barbarians escorted a captive up, and when they got close to the fence, the guy claimed to be a guy from the "Zhong Ming Colonial Company", and Zhong Ming himself was in the rear, asking to borrow money from the town as an "escort fee" for the barbarians.

Zhong Ming is also a famous figure in Pei Siqi, his reputation is naturally there, and the mayor also believes that the money can be returned after borrowing, and even if it can't be returned, there is collateral as a certificate, and then he used magic to look at it and confirm that Zhong Ming was indeed in the barbarian escort team, so he allowed it at this time.

So the town paid money as a guarantee and lent the money to Zhong Ming, and Zhong Ming remotely purchased the town's daily necessities and iron tools, and gave these things to the barbarians as employment fees, and also gave the barbarian chieftain a lot of Xibo currency, so Zhong Ming and his party were released by the barbarians and entered the town.

After the barbarians retreated, the tense atmosphere in the town was released, Zhong Ming and his only two remaining men were entertained by the mayor and the captain, and invited them to eat, drink and drink.

After eating and drinking enough, the mayor curiously asked Zhong Ming about his experience in the past few months, as an old employee who had retired from the front line of the slave hunting industry, he was assigned to be the mayor of this town that he had established by himself.

After the mayor took office, he was stable and stable, but it made the mayor miss the years when he was young and strong, and now he is old, and he doesn't have that experience if he wants to fight, so he can only listen to the stories of those young and strong slave hunters to solve his hunger, and the old mayor also has experience, slave hunters like Zhong Ming who escaped back to the town with nine deaths, their experience is the most exciting.

And Zhong Ming also intended to make a name for himself, so after eating almost later, he talked to the old mayor, starting from planning the establishment of the colony, and when he talked about returning to the colony, he was interrupted by the grandson of the old mayor, who asked with a twinkle in his eyes: "Are there really so many furs?"

"What's more, this is still all those wastes are not professional slave hunters, and they are only fought for the purpose of eating meat, if there is a past that can shoot guns, I estimate that I can get so much in three months," one man stretched his hand to describe the abundance of fur, causing the guests on the field to gasp.

"Are there really that many?" said the experienced old mayor was more cautious, after all, the colonists were known for their bragging, and he was a member of the colonists before, so how could he not know, "Then why didn't you bring them back?"

Zhong Ming sighed, and then talked about the return trip in detail, first the birds crashed into the float boat, this is a common thing in the colony, slave hunters for the purpose of saving money, most of them don't like to add magic to the float boat, which makes the float boat in the slave hunting province very fragile, Zhong Ming has only been knocked down once so many times, this is excellent luck.

And after the fall of the float boat, there were still more than ten of Zhong Ming's men, with a lot of supplies and harvests, and the only surviving colonist, relying on the compass to move in the direction of Pei Siqi.

The hardships and ups and downs along the way don't need Zhong Ming to mention more, all the people present are slave hunters, and their understanding of wasteland development is much stronger than that of the locals, but when the old mayor heard that Zhong Ming had some responses, he still couldn't help but admire, Zhong Ming is really a qualified slave hunter.

There were many accidents on the way back, but the biggest accident was undoubtedly the betrayal of the survivor, no matter how he was not Zhong Ming's buddy, so he mostly did the opening of the road or something, and he took the least amount of food and drink.

In this way, this survivor felt that he couldn't live, even if he was not attacked and killed by demonic beasts during the wasteland, sooner or later he would be exhausted to death because of the drive of Zhong Ming and others, if he could escape, how long would he be able to live without Zhong Ming in this wilderness?

After the murderous intent was everywhere, this survivor was also very clever not to act immediately, but chose to hold back, until the team encountered another demonic beast attack, he suddenly went berserk.

"When we went there at that time, we actually still kept a lot of harvests, and all of them were thrown away because of the betrayal of this scum, and we would rather die in the mouth of the beast than drag us to die together, doing this kind of thing that is purely harmful to others and not beneficial to ourselves," Until now, when he thinks of that person, Zhong Ming still gritted his teeth with hatred.

After this incident, it is still a trivial matter to lose most of the harvest, the most fatal thing is that the supply is insufficient, and the result is not only to fight with the Warcraft, but also to fight with the barbarians, and to fight with the fellow guys, of course, Zhong Ming mostly skipped this point, and the two guys who survived also had a tacit understanding Zhong Ming avoided talking about it.

After approaching the barbarian kingdom adjacent to the slave hunting province, there were only 2 people left around Zhong Ming, but the barbarian kingdom also meant that they could communicate.

In the eyes of the natives, the barbarians are all barbarians, savage, ignorant and uncommunicable barbarians, but the slave hunters in the slave hunting province know that the barbarians are divided into two kinds, the mature barbarians and the raw barbarians Most of them believe in the religion of civilized countries, and have established a small country that is not recognized by the gods, and it is basically this kind of barbarian who cooperates with slave hunters.

As for the barbarians, they belong to the kind that is completely impossible to communicate, they are extremely xenophobic and aggressive, even the familiar barbarians have a headache for this group of barbarians, Zhong Ming estimates that the murderers who led to the final destruction of the colony are this group of barbarians who cannot communicate.

In short, Zhong Ming showed that although he has no money now, he will definitely get money after sending himself to the town, so he said that the barbarians escorted Zhong Ming to the town, and as both parties fulfilled their promises, but as a price, Zhong Ming owed the town a sum of money, but fortunately, the interest was not high.

Zhong Ming and the three of them lived in the town for a few more days, and after washing away the anger and fatigue of wandering in the wilderness, they set foot on the road back to Pei Siqi's main city.

There were no twists and turns along the way, and the three of them returned to the "Zhong Ming Colonization Company" located in Pei Siqi on time, but when they walked into the company, the two remaining guys immediately had a bitter face, and the clerks and other guys who stayed behind listened to the general experience of the three people, estimated the expenses on the road, and the clerks fainted.

"Head, can this road be successful?" asked one of the two guys who followed Zhong Ming all the way back, which shows that this person is not only loyal, but also has great luck, "In the past, we ran a flint gun slave company, although we didn't say that we were rich and expensive, but we managed to break even, but now we ......"

The guy pointed to the paperwork that had passed out, the paperwork couldn't help but faint, the money owed to the town was actually secondary, and the others were fatal.

This investment in the construction of the colony, materials, rations, the cost of pulling people to be used as colonists, the cost of the loss of the fall of the float boat, and the death of more than half of the company guys this time, this compensation is also a large sum, how can you let the clerk not faint?

But Zhong Ming gritted his teeth and persevered: "Isn't it just that we have lost some money? Isn't it that those who do slave trading have not lost money to bankrupt companies?

"So, if you want us to get rich, we can only colonize this business! The initial loss point is nothing, you see how much money Pei Siqi of the Taugocha family has lost over the years because of investing in the flint gun, he is still insisting, why should we give up?"

At this time, the clerk had already woken up, and he screamed with tears in his eyes: "Money, money, boss, do you know how much money we lost this time when the colonization failed!"

"It's okay to lose a lot! Think about those furs! As long as you get on the right track, you can earn them back! Isn't it just a lack of money! It's a big deal to take out a loan! The Taugocha family will definitely give us the most favorable loan amount!" Zhong Ming was not afraid to defy public opinion, and insisted on taking the road of colonization.
