Outside Chan City, deep in the jungle, a few green smoke rises from the camp.
The camp was obviously dilapidated, with only simple protective fences and a few guards standing around the camp. They didn't seem to have much energy, and even the beastmaster beside them was yawning.
There were not many tents in the camp, and some old women were washing clothes in the ditch next to the camp, and there was a continuous sound of thumping.
A little girl was sitting next to the firewood. She seemed to have been caught in the rain, and her whole body was wet. Her cold and red hands stretched out to the firewood that was about to light up in front of her.
Wow.
The firewood did not light up as expected, but a basin of cold water was poured down at this moment, and then the man with a sinister face roared angrily.
"Don't you have any brains? I've told you so many times that you can't light a fire in the camp, as it will attract monsters!"
"You killed the captain, do you still want to kill everyone?"
This roar was obviously scary. The little girl next to the firewood pile was startled. She retracted her outstretched hand and looked at the man with fear in her eyes.
This cowering look did not arouse the man's pity. On the contrary, he seemed to be even more angry, "I don't know who brought you here. You don't know how to speak. You can do nothing but cause trouble all day long!"
The cursing voice made the little girl tremble, but at this time, she just looked at the man in fear, and once again stretched out her hand towards the pile of firewood.
She was very cold, some of the veins on her arms were purple, and she couldn't stop shaking.
This action made the man even more angry. He kicked away the pile of firewood and cursed even more loudly, "You evil spirit, you don't understand, do you? I told you not to light the fire!"
"Barrow, forget it." On the side, a thin soldier saw the man's angry look and came over to stop him, "Don't be angry with a little girl."
"It's not all her fault that the captain died. A child without parents is quite pitiful."
"Is she the only one who is pitiful? Who in this camp is not pitiful?" But Barrow was still angry, "In the past, we could still go hunting with the captain here, but now that the captain is gone, we, a group of people, are leading such a bunch of old and weak people.
If you are sick and disabled, you can only wait here to die!"
"The higher ups should arrange a new captain for us soon." The thin soldier continued, "When he comes, we will get better."
"Soon, I have been saying this for half a month." This sentence made Barrow helpless. He just cursed and sat on the ground, "Now that the food in the camp has been eaten, no more people will be sent from above.
Come on, so many people will starve to death here."
"It will come." The thin soldier replied, he also sat down, took off the water bag from his waist, and handed it to Barrow, "I also have some wine, take a sip to warm yourself up."
"I can't drink it." Barrow replied. At this time, his eyes swept across the camp, looking at the lifeless area. His eyes were full of depression. When his eyes moved to the little girl not far away again, he saw
She had already picked up the firewood stick that had been lit and extinguished before, and waved her hand vigorously, as if she wanted to blow it out again.
This scene was heart-wrenching. Even Barrow, who had been angry before, just gritted his teeth and turned his head to look aside.
"Coming!"
"Someone is coming!"
Suddenly, there was some noise at the entrance of the camp. This noise suddenly attracted the attention of Barrow and the thin soldier. They all looked at each other, and there was light in their eyes. "Has someone been sent from above?"
After saying that, the two people stood up and ran quickly to the entrance of the camp. Not only them, but almost everyone in the camp rushed towards the small entrance of the camp.
In this lifeless camp, the noise was too sudden, and the little girl who was trying hard to fan the firewood also raised her head and looked towards the entrance.
Amidst the noise of the crowd, a young man wearing iron armor and carrying a heavy sword arrived. He was riding a black horse in the army. He was sitting on the horse and glanced over, just in time to see the little girl next to the firewood. Then, he frowned slightly.
.
"Why is there no fire in this camp?"
…
Tsk.
A circle of smelly powder to repel monsters was sprinkled outside the camp, which almost used up all the savings the camp had raised.
A fire that had not been lit for a long time was lit in the camp. Beside the fire, Barrow and the thin soldier sat next to Ye Fan, greedily eating the barbecue on the shelf. On the side, Ning Mengnian was preparing for other people.
People were passing out some food.
Within a few hours, Ye Fan had learned about the situation in the camp. At this time, he was just a little helpless, "So this camp was a shelter before? You were originally just a three-person team?"
"Yes." The thin soldier said, his name is Wei Ping, and together with Barrow, they are the two adjutants in this camp. When he heard Ye Fan's question, he took a big bite of the meat in his hand and wiped his mouth.
Bian Youyou said, "There used to be several camps around here, but they were often attacked by monsters. Some people fled and met the captain. The captain couldn't bear it and took us to build a shelter here. Later, there were more people, and the above said
When we appoint someone, it becomes a camp."
"That's it." Hearing this, Ye Fan nodded slightly, but felt a little helpless in his heart.
Sure enough, the world is not that easy to take advantage of.
In this camp of hundreds of people, there are only about twenty people with fighting ability. I came here to develop the camp with this group of people...
At least there was still a mercenary group when they went to Yuncheng. They were really poor here. If I hadn't always left some meat in the beast control space, I would have to find a way to let everyone have dinner now.
"What are the levels of the surrounding Warcraft lairs?" After a pause, Ye Fan asked.
"A radius of five hundred miles is all silver and gold level. Occasionally, there will be Eternal level monsters. You won't know if you go deeper." Barrow replied, taking a big sip of wine. "The captain died in the hands of an Eternal level monster before.
.”
"Silver gold level." Hearing this, Ye Fan nodded slightly, and then he no longer hesitated and arranged: "You go and gather all the soldiers in the camp later, and go hunting with me in the evening.
Bring us something to eat."
"Do you want to go hunting at night?" Hearing this, Wei Ping raised his head, "The monsters are very ferocious at night. Captain, can you do that..."
"I said go hunting, of course I can do it." Ye Fan said, but he stood up, took steps, and walked around the camp.
It can be seen that most of the people in the camp have been hungry for a long time. In this moment, the monster meat that was taken out before has been almost consumed. Ye Fan took out two more and asked Ning Mengnian to distribute them.
A little better.
"I thought the people on the front line could at least have food and drink like we saw before." After finishing the distribution, Ning Mengnian came to Ye Fan. At this moment, looking at the hungry people, there was a trace of emotion in his eyes.
mercy.
"There are thousands of cities in the human race, so prosperous, and there are not a few people who starve to death every year." Ye Fan replied, at this time, he was indifferent, "It's just that many times, we can't see it, and there's no way to see it."
These words made Ning Mengnian a little stunned. Soon, he gathered his emotions, looked at Mark and asked: "Then what is our next plan."
"Let's deal with the life and security in the camp first. It's not easy to settle down in the hinterland of this kind of monster." Ye Fan replied, also thinking, "If a few hundred people can use it, it can be done quickly.
develop."
"It's just that there are too few backbones." Ning Mengnian spoke from the side and suggested: "In the future, we can look at recruiting some soldiers from somewhere. Just a dozen or twenty people are not enough."
"When the camp gets stronger, people will naturally come." Ye Fan replied, seemingly not paying much attention to the question. His eyes moved and he suddenly noticed the little girl he saw before.
In the noisy crowd, everyone was feasting, but she was the only one by the fire, timidly stretching out her hands to warm herself up, instead of grabbing the barbecue on the shelf.
"That little girl..." After noticing her, Ye Fan looked at Ning Mengnian inquiringly. Ning Mengnian was also stunned and quickly reacted, "Oh, she also fled here, but it is said that she was the only one at the time.
Humans don’t have parents or anything like that.”
After saying something and thinking of something, Ning Mengnian lowered her voice, "She can't speak, and her brain seems to be not normal. The captain used to protect her, but then the captain died, and she has always been a little unpopular with others.
…”
"That's not what I'm asking." After listening to Ning Mengnian's words, Ye Fan just shook his head. At this time, looking at the little girl's outstretched hand, there was a little doubt in his eyes.
"Didn't you realize that that little girl has awakened her talent for controlling beasts?"
