How Am I Still Alive?

".These are a bunch of beasts that deserve to go to hell."

"Meow? Kill them meow!"

"Beasts, so many beasts"

The intelligence sent by the military department is the latest local information.

The east side is okay, after all, there was some order before, but the small countries in the southwest are increasingly showing the lower limit of human beings.

"Most of the small countries have been destroyed. Coupled with the rising floods, most of the traffic has been cut off, and they have become countless divided and unclaimed lands."

Seeing the misbehavior of various anthropomorphic creatures above, even Lu Pingping, who had seen humanoid stars, would shout that it was eye-opening. He had never seen this scene before.

"Moral bottom line? Do they have that thing? These are a group of beasts, beasts that will do anything to survive."

In the case of food shortage, the taboo of eating the same kind was broken immediately. Not only did they make it, they also played tricks and even held large-scale dinners and cooking competitions.

As for plundering and killing, that was routine.

The intelligence officer who wrote this information even said, "Actually, I'm really looking forward to them opening more and grabbing more women and so on, so that a few people can survive and not be treated as playthings and food." It's difficult to evaluate. The mental state of the person who wrote the information probably proves that that place has become a hell on earth.

"What does it say above?"

". Just integrate it. Get a shell out. If it's stained with human flesh and blood, you don't need to keep it."

After thinking about it, Lu Ping'an declined the request to go to the Eastern Front. It was still relatively stable there and was actually for vacation.

The Leton Peninsula and Sakurajima were completely lost, but many refugees still fled to the East Kingdom. Some of them integrated into it, but some still tried to regain their homeland.

This desire is difficult to curb. At least, they will not be so active until one or two generations later.

The front over there, which is naturally the ordinary front to take back the homeland, also has a large number of cannon fodder who are desperate for their lives.

Considering the original promise made by the Eastern Kingdom officials to those refugees, the land they fought back would become the territory of military exploits, and the battlefield there should go smoothly.

But I am afraid that it will be divided into "Lord Territories" one by one according to the previous plan. It is probably impossible to restore the country, but it should be possible to establish several larger overseas territories.

Lu Ping'an estimated that he could also set up an overseas consulate in the past. Considering his previous relationship with New Tokyo, he could also become a bridge of communication between the two parties, and both parties would benefit.

"But do I really need foreign interests now?"

Lu Ping'an doesn't think there is any benefit in setting up an overseas residence by himself at this sensitive stage. If he goes on vacation, he also has a manor. If land is really king, it will easily irritate some people's nerves.

In the past, the interests of himself and the Sakurajima people were intertwined, but now he should distance himself.

As for the resources that overseas locations can provide, Lu Ping An doesn't think they can compare to a fraction of those in his own trading locations.

Then it's really better to consider going to the Southeast Asian Islands, where you can at least get some moral points.

"Otherwise, we should prepare to go overseas, or simply refuse and stay in our country for a while."

Lu thought about it for a moment and had no more urge to go to the southwest.

Although it is a bit cruel, it seems that there are no benefits that I need.

Dongguo's foreign relations are fundamentally different from those of some countries. Unlike some colonial empires, it directly holds the other country's resources, taxes, and finance in its hands. The people of those countries are the targets of its constant blood-sucking. Those countries The joke that people starve to death every year in a large grain-producing country is too hellish and realistic.

Even if the East Kingdom is conquered, it will not reach the level where a win-win situation can be achieved through fair transactions, and there is no need to challenge the lower moral limits of the human stars. For the sake of local prosperity, investing in a certain degree of infrastructure will allow it to have more. The purchasing power of the country can instead feed the surplus industries of the East.

This is the development idea in the peaceful era, and judging from the results of Lu Ping'an's inquiries, Dongguo has no intention of fundamentally changing it.

The point-based development of colonies and plundering resources is actually too short-sighted and can also create a lot of feuds.

"But in this case, I was just a passerby and a thug, which was not interesting."

The original law of "conquering land in exchange for military exploits (a country without a master)" still exists, but the overseas territories that others regard as super treasures bring little benefit to Lu Ping'an, but a lot of trouble.

Although out of humanitarianism, I do want to save him, and setting up a branch of the Church of the God of Redemption there would also facilitate Guan Xinxian's attainment of eternal life and evolution in the true sense.

"It's still not cost-effective. It's better to continue to rest or go outside the territory."

During the war, Lu Ping'an's side also consumed a lot of money. Maybe it's better to forget about this kind of local war that has no benefits.

"Master, Master, have you received a commission for an expedition outside the territory?"

At this time, not long after returning to the ancient city, Lu Ping'an was found by several of his disciples who had left him in the factory to make screws.

"I'm not interested in going east, it will be very troublesome."

Those disciples from Sakurajima still have contact with their families, so it is normal for them to come to them at this time.

Lu Ping'an directly stated that he did not want to be caught between Dongguo and Sakurajima people. Before, they all had a common enemy, visitors from the outside world. As a middleman, he could benefit from both sides. Now the two sides are fighting openly and secretly. Isn't it because he is still in the middle? ?

However, he still underestimated the reality and "sincerity" of Sakurajima people.

"If you don't want to go to the battlefield in the east, the southwest is also OK, and it's actually better."

The situation in the east will be very complicated. I'm afraid that the people who issued the "war merit for land" policy at that time did not expect the counterattack to come so quickly.

At that time, there will be many overseas territories of Sakurajima people, Dongguo people, and Peninsula people, cutting Sakurajima and Leighton Peninsula into pieces.

Restoring the country is basically unlikely, and there will be many political and ethnic struggles in this area, which are very annoying. Lu Ping'an doesn't want to touch it.

"In fact, we don't want to touch it either. It's a seemingly bright dead end."

The one who made the private invitation was the former "royal clan". They had professional advisers, but they gave up their homeland.

".We have no ability and no interest in confronting the powerful Dongguo."

Rational people don't talk about reasons and friendship, but only discuss reality.

"We entrust you in the name of the family to go there to fight for some overseas territories for us. It doesn't need to be big. It can allow us to build a small city, so that our family members can avoid the vortex and survive."

The client looked pitiful, but Lu Ping'an saw that he was still dishonest.

If we really just want to survive, we should just be Dongguo people.

In the end, we still want to protect this independence.

Lu Pingan originally planned to refuse directly, but the other party gave too much, too much.

"Two-digit rule-level treasures are just gifts."

If it was just this, Lu Pingan could still refuse directly.

". The coordinates of the worlds inhabited by three intelligent creatures above the middle level of magic, and unique resource points with great development value."

This seems to be the most valuable legacy of the Sakura Country in the past, which may be their overseas colonies and resource points

"No, that is our family's property, we can naturally deal with it, there are only a few of our teams stationed there, and we haven't had time to develop it yet."

Using "world" to exchange for the right to survive in the local world, this "sincerity" made Lu Pingan very tempted.

"I'll think about it."

Lu Pingan was still thinking about the pros and cons, but he inexplicably got the "hint" from above.

"Sir Lu Pingan, we hope that you can become a bridge again and send these troubles away." Well, it seems that there is really no reason to refuse.
