Survival [End Times]

On the second day, more people left, all of them went to the City Lord's Mansion to apply for recruitment, even though some of them could not even understand Zhenwei language, they still went.

Father Yu frowned and said: "I really don't know what they are thinking. If you want a good job, you don't have to do it now. He hasn't even learned to speak yet."

He was talking about Zhang Pingzhong, the taciturn man who also went.

The City Lord's Mansion recruits people for a total of seven days. You can apply within seven days. After seven days, there will be a formal screening, and those who apply can get free food and accommodation before the screening.

For this reason, there are countless people going.

Even if you are not selected, you can still make money by eating and staying for a few days~

However, Yu Heng did not wait for the result after seven days. They left the city the next morning.

"If we go to pick wild vegetables and fruits and then go back to the city tomorrow morning, it's too far, and we have to pay a new entrance fee. It's better to leave directly and go to the next city." Yu Heng said: "I'll tell you all that I won't stay in one place for the time being."

"Where do you want to go?" I thought I would settle down in Beiyun City!

Yu Heng shook his head: "Not sure yet."

Because of this, many people chose to leave this small group of fellow townsmen.

Before leaving, they said to Yu Heng: "You have to settle down, where is it not good to stay?"

Yu Heng just smiled.

It's just everyone's choice. Since they are going to separate, he can't tell others about his next plan.

This time, Yu Heng's earliest 17 companions also stayed.

Before leaving, he secretly asked Yu Heng: "Do you think it is possible to remove the charm?"

Yu Heng looked at him straight: "This cannot be removed."

"Then, then..."

Yu Heng smiled: "In fact, we should not have a chance to meet in the future. You will naturally forget me after a long time. Of course, the set of fitness exercises is given to you. As long as you keep your mouth shut, you will still be the net profit, don't you think so?"

"Well, okay."

Five of the seventeen people who signed the charm left, and three of them asked about the removal of the charm. Yu Heng said no.

In the end, only twelve people had signed the charm, and seven had not signed.

Among these people, thirteen had obvious orc features. These days, they kept their faces tightly covered and dared not be seen by others - they dared not go to the city lord's mansion to respond.

This time, Yu Heng also signed the charm with the seven people. Later, two more people gave up going with him, and it was a bit unpleasant.

It was really a coincidence that the final number of people was still seventeen, except for Yu Heng's family and Cui Nan.

After leaving Beiyun City, they still walked along the trade route.

In fact, Yu Heng was not walking aimlessly. He planned to go to the Ninth State of Xizhou. According to the Xizhou Chronicle, the Ninth State generally had an imperial system, with a total of three large countries and other small countries.

Under a strong rule, the country was peaceful and the people were prosperous.

Although there was less freedom and constraints, there was undoubtedly more protection.

However, the Ninth State was far away, and it was meaningless to think about it now. The important thing was how they could establish themselves along the way.

It was not practical to pick wild vegetables and fruits all the time, so they had to find other ways to make a living.

The first thing to improve was the martial arts value. Yu Heng asked Lin Minglei to help teach the five new people [General Principles of Physical Fitness], and occasionally gave some pointers.

Yu Heng spent most of his time thinking about what to do for a living.

He had observed the caravans, cloth, spices, ingredients, and even high-end horses... They had no money or channels for these things.

It was not until the third day on the road that an incident opened Yu Heng's mind.

As mentioned earlier, the trade route was prosperous, but there were also remote places that could not be illuminated by torches. Besides, the trade route was long, and the caravans on the road might not be able to reach the inn or hotel before nightfall.

Then they had to sleep outdoors.

Robbery existed no matter where it was, and Yu Heng and his team just happened to encounter such a robbery and murder case.

The 17th state of Xizhou, where they were located, was a passage connecting several prosperous states. Due to the geographical reasons of the mountains and terrain, the cities were scattered and most of the trade routes were in sparsely populated areas.

This caused frequent killings and robberies.

When camping that night, Yu Heng knew that there was another caravan ahead, and at dinner time, the aroma of spicy soup came.

Yu Heng and his team were also making a fire to cook. Now that there are fewer people and they have all signed the Zhenxin Talisman, Yu Heng can take out many things again. He did not wrong himself and took out all kinds of materials. He first cooked a large pot of milk porridge.

He used a fire and hung the iron pot on it, which cooked very quickly.

With a good meal, the hard work of the day is not worth mentioning, and it also makes the new people feel a sense of belonging.

After dinner and before going to bed, they usually learn Zhenwei language. Yu Heng said to them seriously: "Don't be lazy. Learning Zhenwei language will make it easier to walk in the future."

When it gets late, they will definitely stop and go to sleep.

Yu Heng arranged a night watch. Everyone has to be on duty. Tonight, Lin Minglei and another man are on duty.

When Lin Minglei gave the warning, he had already heard the sound of golden swords interlaced.

"It's in front!"

The front soon became noisy, and between the lightning and fire snakes, Yu Heng made a decision.

"Get your weapons ready and go help!"

Lin Minglei chased and shouted, "Who are you helping?!"

"It must be the caravan. Do you want to become a bandit in the future?"

He shouted and rushed over, and the caravan and the bandits were stunned.

Wu Chengping, the leader of the caravan, gritted his teeth: "Old Four, take your things and go! Don't say anything more, go!"

Wu Old Four gritted his teeth and turned his head to go into the darkness.

Wu Chengping's eyes were red, and he took out the bottom of the box - an explosion talisman, which was a treasure from other continents.

He was not at a loss to die with these bandits!

"Bang bang bang!"

His hand trembled, and he quickly looked at his hand, and the explosion talisman was still there!

Where did the sound come from?

I saw that the group of people who rushed up later beat the bandits, and a few of them held unknown sticks in their hands. Those bangs were made by those sticks!

When the remnants of the bandits fled with their butts and urine, Wu Chengping came back to his senses.

"Boss, you're injured!"

Wu Chengping pushed his men aside and went to Yu Heng: "Thank you so much! May I ask your name? If you like any of our goods, just tell me and I'll give it to you!"

Who knows if this is a robbery? Wu Chengping was surprised and then on guard, but the important things had been taken away by his fourth brother. If these things could be exchanged for the lives of the remaining guys, it would be worth it!

Yu Heng smiled and shook his hand: "You're welcome, please forgive me for calling you Yu. We are actually escorts, and we are used to doing this kind of thing. We just saw that you are in trouble and couldn't help but come to help. You go ahead, we have to go back to sleep."

Wu Chengping breathed a sigh of relief, and then his eyes lit up: "Boss Yu, is it an escort? Which escort agency? It's really outstanding!"

These days, it is common for merchants to have escort agencies, but the escorts hired from outside are not as trustworthy as their own people. Generally, people who have been doing business for a long time will always cultivate their own team. Unless the goods are too valuable to be eaten by themselves, they will look for a reputable and familiar escort agency to cooperate.

Therefore, Wu Chengping is not unfamiliar with the escorts.

Yu Heng smiled: "It's not a big name, so let's not mention it. Then I'll leave first, you can do your work!"

"Boss, bandage it first."

"Okay." Wu Chengping sat on the ground and asked his men to bandage him, and asked: "Has the fourth master found it?"

"Don't worry, the fourth master left a mark, and he will definitely find it back in a while."

"What do you think was in the hands of those people just now? Is it a fairy's trick?"

"Don't the immortals have a skill called refining? I think it looks like it."

"That's too scary, boss, I dug this out from those bandits-"

"Is this Tiedanzi? ??, such a small one, the bandit died on the spot, how did he do it?"

The men talked a lot, and Wu Chengping's face was deep.

He looked at his men - there were more than 120 people in the caravan, but now there are only 30 people left, which is a heavy loss!

Let's not talk about the compensation for the return trip. It is not known whether this trip of goods can be delivered safely, but there are still three hills and two cities to pass through! What can 30 people be worth?

"Xiaocheng, go over there and see if those people are still there?"

After a while, the people came back: "Still there, two people are on guard, and the others are sleeping."

"Did they see you?"

"I saw you."

Wu Si was found back in the second half of the night.

They almost didn't sleep all night, collecting the bodies and burning them on the spot, bandaging the wounds and treating the injured. It was not until dawn that they rested for a while.

"Boss, they seem to be packing up and preparing to leave."

Wu Chengping made a decision: "You pack up, I'll go over."

He was also decisive. Anyway, they didn't kill him last night, so there is room for negotiation.

It's fine if they can negotiate, he has plenty of rewards to negotiate.

As expected, when he mentioned it, the other party hesitated for a moment and asked him about the next route. Wu Chengping said vaguely: "If everything goes well, we can get there in half a month."

Yu Heng pondered: "That's not far, so how much can you offer?"

Wu Chengping glanced at the people behind this Boss Yu: women? Old men? Then he remembered how these people behaved last night, and finally did not lower the price.

"Boss Yu, look, I can give you half of the deposit now, 100 crystal coins! As long as you escort us into the city, I will give you the other half, a total of 200 crystal coins, how about it?"

"Okay."

In this way, Yu Heng and his companions joined this fragmented caravan as escorts.

"Brother, why do I feel that except for the escort leader, the others are... green hands? You won't be cheated, right? There are women!"

Wu Chengping patted him: "Don't talk nonsense." He told him what he saw and heard last night, "I don't care about anything else. As long as they can beat the bandits away again, that's fine."

"Wow, is this true?"

Wu Si kept staring at Yu Heng and the others, stroking the bullets in his hands, and was eager to borrow them from others.

Yu Heng and the others were the first to do the bodyguard job. Yu Heng himself was not so nervous, after all, he had done the work of escorting experts, professors, and supplies before, but the others felt a little uneasy.

Quietly asked Yu Heng: "Boss Yu, are we cheating people?"

Yu Heng smiled: "Are you scared?"

"Of course I'm not scared. We don't have this experience..."

"Don't worry, we are just doing the work of thugs now. If there are thieves, we just need to help drive them away. Don't we also train regularly? Just take out the training equipment and treat it as a real combat exercise."

There were also some smart people. Lin Minglei secretly asked him: "Boss, are we going to do this business in the future?" He saw the potential business opportunity behind it at a glance: "This is really good. It doesn't cost anything and just relies on strength. We also have guns. I think we can be bodyguards."

"With this idea, everyone should work hard. If this order is completed, it will be a good start."

"Okay!"

"Don't worry about the others. I will slowly teach you the techniques of investigation."

These words made everyone feel at ease, and they all worked hard to do this order.
