As soon as Zheng Xiaojie's words fell, the room immediately fell silent. Except for Brother Zhen, Zheng Xiaojie, Li Ma and others, the rest of the people looked at each other and were speechless for a while.

"We are making a proposal today, if you don't accept it, you can go back and discuss it!" Seeing that the leaders of the other tribes were stunned, Brother Zhen hurriedly added: "We are here in the cold, lacking food and clothing, and we have a hard time. For a little survival material, fighting each other or even killing each other, then it is better to go back! ”

"Yes, at least over there," Zheng Xiaojie also said, "We don't need you to fight for me, we can all be fed and clothed." ”

"It's true that there's no electricity here," said one of the tribal leaders, seeing that torches were being lit in the house, "and it's really unaccustomed to having to rely on torches for lighting...... However, I have a question, will they let us in? ”

"Please rest assured," Brother Zhen said, "When you get over there, I'll take care of everything!" ”

The tribal leaders still looked at each other, no one spoke, and there were obvious doubts.

"We're just suggesting, not asking people to follow. So, let's go back and discuss it with your own people, and then make a decision! When Brother Zhen saw that they were hesitating, he said, "Now, everyone drink happily and rest when they get drunk!" ”

It was almost midnight, and the leaders of the various tribes had already gone to the place arranged by Li Ma and them to rest, and Brother Zhen and Li Ma, Zheng Xiaojie, Li Linger and others were still sitting there chatting.

"What if they don't want to go?" Li Linger asked, "Let's go by ourselves?" ”

"Let's go on our own!" Li's mother said: "The days here are indeed enough, fighting and killing all day long, sleeping at night with one eye open, never finished, this is the life of people!" ”

Brother Zhen looked at Mama Li, he really didn't expect that Mama Li seemed to be very resolute. However, his desire is not just to take a tribe with him: "I wish more people would come with us!" ”

"Try to get it!" Li's mother said: "But you should also see that your suggestion does not seem to have received a positive response, which shows that they do not agree with it." After all, the shadow of the Central City massacre is still there, and everyone is still apprehensive. ”

"Indeed!" Zheng Xiaojie said: "The good Central City was destroyed in such a moment, tens of millions of people killed each other, and it was all over, even Yi Qianya and Huang Lang were killed by crazy people, who can forget!" ”

Brother Zhen is naturally still young and can't remember it clearly, but for Zheng Xiaojie, it was an unforgettable experience. When she carried Qin Haoyang on her back and held Brother Zhen by her hand, boarded the No. 9 ship with Lin Lin who was carrying Yi Shulan on her back, and escaped from the Central City under the leadership of Shu Yunpeng, she looked back at the burning Central City, and the thrilling imprint of that moment will never linger in her heart!

"yes!" Li Linger also said. Rushing out in the ruins of the central city, people around kept falling, crying dad and calling mother's miserable, at this moment, she was still frightened: "So you have to be mentally prepared, if they don't want to go, don't insist too much, let's just go by ourselves!" ”

A few people persuaded me, but Brother Zhen could only agree with them: "Okay, in this case, we should set off sooner rather than later before the autumn of this year, and strive to return to the dungeon as soon as possible!" ”

"Good! Then we decided so, if the other tribes don't want to go, we won't force it," Li Ma made the final decision: "Starting tomorrow, we will prepare the things we need on the road, and when the time comes, we will go on the road!" ”

"Shall we go back over there?" While sleeping, Li Ling'er curled up in Brother Zhen's arms, and seemed to be a little suspicious: "Will the people over there welcome us?" ”

"Definitely!" Brother Zhen said. He knew very well that there were less than 5,000 people in the dungeon, and there was no worry about not being able to live in it. And he also knew that those family members in the dungeon felt that there were too few people. If he can bring the people here back, it is too late for them to welcome them, how can they refuse to accept them: "Besides, there are complete facilities there, you can't conceive for so long, I can check you up when I get there, and if you are sick, you can also be treated." ”

Brother Zhen said the last words, Li Ling'er was very moved when she heard it. He actually thought of this, which shows that he does have her Li Ling'er in his heart! The next day, she told Mama Li what Brother Zhen told her at night, and Mama Li was of course very happy, so she cooperated very much with what Brother Zhen did, and became the most enthusiastic returnee.

As expected by Li Ma and others, Brother Zhen's suggestion was really few tribes responded. It is no wonder that for most people, they are born in the last days, just to live a better life, to be able to eat and clothe themselves, and to live without the pressure of survival. But not necessarily for others, who may ask for more.

As far as the tribe that once gathered hundreds of thousands of people is concerned, they used to be a local force that even the Central City did not dare to underestimate. Although in the era of the agglomeration, they were also envious and jealous of Central City, but after Yi Qianya let them move to Central City, the mystery of Central City was revealed, and they felt that it was nothing more than Er.

In Central City, although they no longer worry about starvation and cold, for their high-level leaders, the dominance that once called for wind and rain is gone, and everything needs to obey others, which is really a little unhappy. Driven by the psychological factor of preferring to be a snake head rather than a tiger tail, they are naturally very resistant to returning to the dungeon.

What's more, if Mama Li and the others leave, the feng shui treasure of the hot spring area will be vacant. What I once spent a lot of manpower and material resources to think of but couldn't get, now that it's at my fingertips, why do you want to go with it?

Several other tribes that were not weak in strength felt that they were capable of competing and did not plan to leave. There were only two small tribes that agreed to go with Brother Zhen, one with only more than 5,000 people, and the other was slightly larger, with only more than 7,000 people.

Brother Zhen's plan was, to some extent, a failure.

"There are more than 20,000 people, and that's enough," Li's mother comforted Brother Zhen, who was a little depressed.

"That's all there is to it!" Of course, Brother Zhen knew that this was the only way. If people don't want to go, and they can't force them to come, then let them go, and start preparing for the road by themselves: "Let's prepare slowly." Strive to hit the road in the spring of next year. ”

They began to prepare for walking. In order to harmonize, the three tribes decided to merge and form a governing body. Li Ma, Brother Zhen, Mina, and two other tribal leaders each set up a seven-person leadership group to arrange all preparations in a unified manner.

Brother Zhen is no longer in a hurry, he is always thinking about how to take more people.

Unexpectedly, before they left, those powerful tribes had already begun to fight openly and secretly for the hot spring area left behind by the Li Ma tribe. In the end, these tribes couldn't negotiate, and they actually met each other.

"I'm really impatient!" Rachel, the leader of a tribe who is now a member of the leadership group, said. She was a woman in her early forties, and when she saw those people fighting again, she couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly: "Just for such a place, we haven't left yet, and they actually started to do it!" ”

"Let them be," Li's mother said, "Let's just watch the fun." ”

This battle has been fought for a whole year. The winter truce, the second year of the war again, Brother Zhen and Zheng Xiaojie's son has begun to babble, this battle has not yet been decided.

However, after watching the excitement for a whole year, Brother Zhen didn't want to watch the excitement anymore, so he began to play tricks. When the two warring parties formed two major forces and both sent people to contact Li Ma's tribe for support, Li Ma and the others wanted to ignore them, but Brother Zhen suggested receiving them.

"What are you doing here?" When Mama Li saw that the people he arranged for the two opposing groups to be sent by Brother Zhen were all arranged to stay, she was very disapproving: "You still want to go through this troubled water?" ”

"I'm trying to get the water out!" Brother Zhen smiled.

"Okay, you can play," Li's mother also smiled. Since Li Linger told Mama Li about Brother Zhen's private conversation with her, Mama Li's trust in Brother Zhen has increased significantly. At the same time, she also saw that Brother Zhen seemed to be rough, but he was actually very scheming: "Just don't drag us into the water." ”

At the suggestion of Brother Zhen, the leaders of the Li Ma tribe arranged to meet with the envoys of the two opposing groups the next day.

"First of all, let me explain," after the people arrived, Brother Zhen began his plan: "You have come to us, and you are all our guests. So, you can fight each other to the death after you go back, but just take it easy here, don't look like you stare at each other and want to swallow each other! Agreed? ”

Both sides looked at each other and nodded.

"Alright, now I'll talk about our decision!" Brother Zhen smiled and said, "First, we don't participate in your fight. Second, after we discussed, we decided that after we left, whoever of you two loses, we will hand over this land to whomever we want! In other words, before we leave, the losing side of you will enter here and accept our delivery! ”

The envoys of the two opposing groups were dumbfounded when they heard this strange decision. And Li Ma and the others almost couldn't help laughing, but in order to cooperate with Brother Zhen, they all couldn't help but smile and pretended to nod seriously.

"I mean, you're not kidding, are you?" One of the emissaries of one of the groups easily came back to his senses and asked puzzledly, "If you lose the battle, can you take over the hot spring area?" ”

"Yes," Brother Zhen replied very seriously: "We think that the losing side will definitely lose more, and it needs to rest and recover in order to fight again in the future, so we are eligible for the hot spring area!" ”

The envoys of the two opposing groups looked at each other, not knowing what to say. Brother Zhen's decision is strange, but there is a reasonable logic hidden in the strangeness, which really makes them unpredictable.

"Well, let's take your decision back and see what our leader has to say!"

The envoys on both sides had no choice but to return in a huff.

The battlefield fell silent all of a sudden, and both sides were pondering Brother Zhen's intentions, and they couldn't decide whether to continue fighting for a while.

"You can't beat them with just a few words, amazing!" Mama Li, Rachel and the others were all surprised.

"Wrong, they're going to fight harder next!" Brother Zhen smiled.

Sure enough, Brother Zhen was right, and ten days later, the two groups reopened fire, and they did fight harder. They couldn't figure out Brother Zhen's intentions, and they were impatient, and they all thought like this: "We have won the battle, eliminated the opponent, and see how they let the loser take over the hot spring area!" ”

The war became more and more brutal, and both sides threw all their strength into fighting to the death, both thinking of completely destroying their opponents. After a month of this, the two warring sides suffered heavy casualties and were exhausted, and the dissatisfaction and resentment of the people in both camps against the top of the group began to breed and spread...... Seeing that the time was ripe, Brother Zhen quietly made a move.
