After Shen Rui saw the caravan stop, he saw a group of wolf monsters walking towards the caravan.
The leader of the caravan negotiated again and handed over the goods of two trucks again.
"Hmph, you cunning humans always try to pass off inferior products. This time we have to choose ourselves!" the leader of the wolf monster said.
"The contents of all trucks are the same, there is no difference." The caravan leader argued forcefully.
"Get out!" The wolf monster drove the leader aside, showing his domineering attitude.
They jumped onto the truck bed nimbly, then tore open the canvas covering the cargo and twitched their noses.
Obviously, these guys who hang out in the market are much smarter than the monsters guarding the gate, and know many of the merchants' tricks.
They looked around and finally selected two cars.
"Okay, drive us to the east warehouse!" the leader of the wolf monster said unceremoniously.
"What?" The caravan leader was shocked and quickly stopped him, "Fellow heroes, we will unload the goods for you right now, so please show your respect."
"Go away, if you don't want to die, just do as you are told!" The wolf monster stood up straight and slapped the leader on the face.
The latter dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out, so they could only get out of the way.
Shen Rui had already seen this scene, and was angry and frightened at the same time: "Master Liu, it looks like something happened ahead?"
"TMD, these bastards want to take away people and cars again!" the driver said angrily.
"What? I have never heard of collecting taxes from everyone!" Shen Rui's face also darkened.
"Yes, we started to treat them as human beings, but they never regarded us as human beings. In their eyes, us drivers and the goods are the same, we are all tools and commodities!" Master Liu said bitterly, this A man in his 40s with a flushed face.
"Has this kind of thing happened before?" Shen Rui said calmly.
"It happened before, but the boss tolerated it. After all, as long as the transaction is successful once, the profit is more than ten times. We are ordinary people who work hard for our livelihood. I didn't expect that this time, we would encounter it again. ." The driver said helplessly.
"Hateful, isn't this history repeating itself?" Shen Rui didn't expect that even though the situation seemed to be great, there would still be such a humiliating deal at the bottom.
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it. The nearby castle won't stand up for us caravans. We took the initiative to trade on our own, so we won't receive any protection at all, even though the supplies we get are all urgently needed by the nearby castle. "A trace of despair flashed across the driver's face.
Of course he was heartbroken when he saw his colleagues being taken away as cargo.
But there was nothing he could do, apart from venting a few words in the cab, he was just glad that the person being taken away was not him.
Shen Rui fell into silence. He did not immediately stop him, because he could only stop it for a moment, but he could not stop it forever.
In his opinion, isn't this what happened in history when a feudal dynasty faced a barbarian nation?
Merchants from the country went to the grasslands to trade, but were robbed and massacred, but no one from the government of the country cared about it.
He deeply felt that it was the right time to go out and look for exotic animals on a whim in the name of investigating the breeding of exotic animals.
These aberrations seem to have a truce with humans, and the high-level aberrations among them have also surrendered. However, the vast majority of middle- and lower-class aberrations still do not take humans seriously. Although this is a fair trade practice, they still blackmail them if they want. , just grab it if you want, without any scruples.
Because in their view, peace is given to humans by them, not created by humans.
Just like in his previous life, the island nation had never sincerely apologized to China, but instead offered the father who beat them up on the incense table.
Therefore, in this life, he has no intention of saving this country at all. After a few decades, he can just wait for the aberrations to turn the place into a no-man's land, and then clean up the mess.
Some people have imposed the title of "Savior" on him, but he has a strong conscience and will not save people indiscriminately. If he really does that, he will definitely be the most idiot among idiots.
He is a Kyushu person first, then a human being, and finally a life on earth.
In Shen Rui's view, in this apocalyptic era, Kyushu's international environment is better than in previous lives.
After all, based on the situation in his previous life, it was unlikely that he would have the opportunity to develop outside during his lifetime.
But in this life, there is a vast no-man's land everywhere. The neighboring countries around Kyushu have all been destroyed by the monsters. In the previous life, they could still show their teeth and claws under the command of the mastermind behind the scenes. Now, let alone the claws and claws, even their intestines have been destroyed by the monsters.
Swallowed everything.
If you want to withstand the first few waves of aberration outbreaks, you must first have a large enough population, and secondly, you must have strong organizational and mobilization capabilities. The only country in East Asia that can meet these two conditions at the same time is Kyushu.
100 million people can support an industrial country, but 10 million people will never be able to do so. The population of Kyushu has dropped sharply to less than 200 million, and it can still maintain the foundation of an industrial country and use industrial power to slowly build castles to restore strength. The surrounding countries have grown from nearly 100 million people to
The population dropped sharply to a few million to 10 million, and the original industrial system was completely destroyed. The alien monsters continued to grow. In a vicious circle, this was the root cause of the destruction of neighboring countries.
For Shen Rui, as long as he defeats the shadows first and then the aberrations, it is not impossible to create Kyushu with an area of 50 million square kilometers.
These two goals are huge. Shen Rui did not have such clear ambitions before. But today, the team of arrogant and domineering wolves in front of him gave him a burst of motivation that he had never had before.
I have so many advantages, why don’t I have the chance to accomplish such a feat? If I could accomplish it, how much would I gain from just the reputation in “Mount and Blade”?
Now that you can no longer gain much reputation just by killing monsters, you must open up new avenues.
And defeating more powerful enemies and expanding your own power should have a high probability of improving your reputation again.
At this moment, the cry of a young man suddenly came from the two trucks that were ordered to drive away.
"Boss, I still have a 60-year-old mother, and I will count on you to take care of her from now on."
Everyone in the caravan was moved when they heard this. This young man did not ask for help because he knew it was useless to ask for help. He wanted to turn the boss's unworthy kindness to him into caring for his mother.
This is human nature, the shining light in human nature.
The leader of the caravan let out a long sigh: "Master Wang, don't worry, I will make arrangements for your family."
When Shen Rui saw this, he decided not to sit idly by and ignore it.
It was one thing that he couldn't see it before, but now that he could see it, he couldn't let such a tragedy happen.
After thinking for a while, he opened his team panel.
He searched the foreign trade list, and there were many team quotas there, all of which were sold to high-level alien beasts.
The King of Hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with. It is often the lower-level devils who are more capable of doing evil.
There were not many high-level alien beasts in the team, so he opened them one by one and then selected the dialogue option.
This is a function of "Mount and Blade". As long as a member is in the team, he can communicate with each other through the chat option.
After asking around, he finally found a high-level exotic beast stationed nearby. It was a freshwater crocodile. It lived by the river and had considerable influence.
So he explained the situation, and the other party promised to send a patrol bird to deal with such small matters.
After all, the final analysis of this matter is that these middle- and lower-level monsters bully others, and there is no difficulty in dealing with them.
