Chapter 298: Zongzi Tribe
According to the captain of this team, the ancestor of the Zongzi tribe was a zongzi dealer, and it was just a few days before the Dragon Boat Festival before the big breakdown, and the dealer hoarded hundreds of tons of frozen zongzi in his warehouse, intending to make a big profit. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Then the big break happened, and the dealer, who likes to read online novels, immediately made a decision and used the welding equipment in his warehouse to weld the entire warehouse to death, leaving only a hidden door to enter and exit...... After a few days, the dealer seemed to have wandered around the neighborhood, and found four or five little girls between the ages of ten and fourteen who were half starved to death, and then he took these thirteen or fourteen-year-old girls to the warehouse and lived a happy harem life.
In a way, this zongzi dealer was a character with a harem template, and until he died of cancer five years later, his warehouse was never visited by Yuan Yan, and until he died, the zongzi were not eaten...... It took him months to dig a cellar out of the warehouse floor, and then transferred all the ice and rice dumplings from the cold storage to the cellar so that his rice dumplings could stay frozen for years.
The dealer died, but his harem survived, and he gave birth to several children respectively, which was the prototype of the Zongzi tribe. Later, after a series of events, the Zongzi tribe eventually developed into a small tribe with hundreds of people and blood relations, and in the entire Suzhou desert, it can be regarded as a well-known tribe.
The team that Gu Han met was the team responsible for fetching water from the Zongzi tribe, and the Zongzi tribe had lost the latest battle with other tribes, and the oasis they relied on for survival had also been taken away by that tribe. The most important thing in the desert is water, and without the help of the oasis, the Zongzi tribe would have had to send out an adventure party and take huge risks to obtain water from other non-desertified areas of Suzhou.
Gu Han's mission target Yi Qing is in this Zongzi tribe, but he is not in this adventurer team, so Gu Han can only follow this team to the temporary stronghold of the Zongzi tribe.
On the way to this stronghold, the captain of the adventure team, a middle-aged man known as Brother Long, has been trying his best to curry favor with Gu Han and Yitian, and he even wants to give Gu Han a very precious piece of golden-wrapped Alpine candy. In this day and age, any candy is incomparably delicious, even if it has been more than 200 years old.
Of course, Gu Han would not be interested in such a candy, and Brother Long, who did not give away the candy, was a little embarrassed, but he still kept wanting to talk to Gu Han along the way, and then tell the tragic experience of his tribe. It also made Gu Han understand why Brother Long was so flattering to Gu Han, because Brother Long hoped that Gu Han could help the Zongzi tribe snatch back his oasis, no oasis not only means that there is no water source, but also means that the grain production area has been lost, which makes the Zongzi tribe, which only relies on some past grain stocks to survive, soon enter the situation of running out of ammunition and food.
However, except for this Brother Long, who showed a considerable flattering attitude after discovering the identity of Gu Han and the others as sword wielders, the rest of the young people looked at Gu Han angrily, without the slightest respect for Gu Han, on the contrary, their eyes were full of anger, as if Gu Han was their father's killer.
But Gu Han and them are only meeting for the first time, and there are no past grievances at all, it seems that this kind of hateful gaze is mostly related to the identity of half of Gu Han's sword wielders! It's interesting that these survivors would have a hatred for a powerful sword-wielder who could protect their lives.
After following the party for ten minutes, Gu Han finally came to several buildings that were completely covered in sand.
These buildings should have been built by the residents of the nearby villages before the great destruction, because the houses were built by the residents themselves, so the quality is quite strong, even after more than 200 years of wind and sun, buried in the desert, but still stand firm on the ground.
These buildings have also become temporary strongholds for the Zongzi tribe, barely providing a shelter for the desert tribe.
Outside these buildings, there is a simple fence made of sand, and at several exits to the wall, there are middle-aged men with guns standing guard...... These guns are not used against Yuanyan, because ordinary guns have no effect on Yuanyuan at all, these guns are used against humans, and the human survivors in the desert are not friendly to each other, and it is even more common to snatch survival materials.
In the desert, humans are the most dangerous creatures. Just like the tribe that robbed the oasis of the Zongzi tribe before, it is estimated that it is precisely because of the deterrence of these guns that that tribe does not dare to kill the Zongzi tribe, otherwise it is in their fundamental interests to rob all the food of the Zongzi tribe.
When I entered the temporary station of the Zongzi tribe, I found that most of them were lying lazily on the ground, without the slightest desire to move. There was not the slightest hint of the anger on their faces that a living person should have, as if they were waiting for death.
"Hey, Gu Han, why are they all like this." Seeing this scene, Yi Tian asked puzzled.
"They must be desperate to survive, in the middle of this desert, the oasis is a necessary territory for every tribe to survive. Once the oasis is lost, there is no land to cultivate, and without land there is no food, and such a tribe will either be swallowed up by other tribes, or they will have to wait for death. Gu Han explained, in fact, Gu Han didn't know much about the specific situation of this dungeon, and he didn't collect a few days of information in advance like the copy of "King Arthur's Betrayal", Gu Han just roughly read a few strategy posts for this dungeon, and had a general understanding of the main line of the plot.
Most of the words that answered Yitian just now were analyzed by Gu Han himself based on the information he had just learned through his conversation with Brother Long.
After the adventuring party entered the stronghold, they dispersed, and Brother Long arranged for Gu Han to wait for a while in the wreckage of a dilapidated building, and then led Gu Han back to the second floor of a building, where an old man with gray hair was waiting...... In the entire tribe, this old man has the most clothes on his body, and there are all kinds of strange bits and pieces hanging on his clothes before the big breakdown, from this point it can be judged that this old man should be the elder or chief of the Zongzi tribe.
"Little old man Yiyun, I don't know what to call the two respected adults." This old man of Yi Yun spoke tremblingly, knowing all the questions, and cowering. And after saying this, he planned to kneel down and salute Gu Han...... This doesn't seem like the bearing of a tribal chieftain, and I don't know if the soul of the beaten person is scattered, or if he is deliberately pretending to be pitiful.
"The old chief doesn't have to be polite. My name is Admiral, and I am a sword bearer. She is my sword lady Yitian. As soon as Gu Han's sword qi was released, Yi Yun, who wanted to kneel down, found that his knees seemed to be supported by some powerful force, and it was impossible to kneel down at all.
"Rude faux pas!" Old man Yi Yun no longer tried to kneel, but turned around, pulled away a pile of sand behind him, took out a large bucket of material from it, and laboriously lifted it in front of Gu Han.
Yi Yun opened the plastic bucket, inside was a bucket of flour, less than half of the capacity of the bucket, Yi Yun was pitiful, and said with a sad face, "My lord, our tribe has nothing else to honor you, this is the last bit of rations, please smile."
"This is your last ration? There are so many of you, I'm afraid you won't be able to eat this flour for even two days. Seeing such a little flour, Yi Tian couldn't help but say.
"More than that, more than that, save some food, you can eat for a week." Yi Yun smiled dryly, such a small amount of flour wants to feed more than 100 people for a week, and it is estimated that each person will not be able to distribute even five pitiful bottle caps per day.
"Then why do you give it to us when you only have such a little flour?" Yitian wondered.
"Hehe, Xiao Lao'er's tribe is already certain to die, rather than wasting these precious grains on the little Lao'er tribe. It's better to hand it over to a few sword-wielding adults, and the sword-wielders will have the strength to kill a few more yuanyuan, and Xiao Lao'er's zongzi tribe will die without regrets. When Yi Yun said this, his face was full of sacrificing his life for righteousness, and he was righteous and awe-inspiring.
At this moment, Yitian was moved, she put the lid on the bucket and returned it to Yi Yun's hand, and then took out a large pile of bread, beer, beef jerky, rice cakes, puffed food and other kinds of food from her sword scabbard.
Yitian estimated that all the food in his scabbard had been taken out and piled up as high as a hill, which was estimated to be enough for the Zongzi tribe to eat for several weeks...... Gu Han was also surprised by this, he knew that Yitian's scabbard contained a lot of food, but he never expected that there were so many things in the scabbard...... This is actually the collection of Yitian who used to be the fragment of consciousness, otherwise it would really be where Yitian would have had the time to collect so much food.
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir! When Yi Yun, the old man, saw so much food, he immediately knelt down in front of Yitian, hugged Yitian's calves, and cried and thanked him, which made Yitian's heart swell with a strong sense of pride.
When Gu Han and Yitian came out of Yi Yun's room, Yitian was still fluttering, feeling that he had done a great deed. However, Yitian occasionally glanced at Gu Han, only to find that Gu Han's face was full of mocking smiles
"Hey, ugly bastard, are you taunting me!" Yitian's feeling was very sensitive, and he questioned Gu Handao on the spot.
"Nope!" Gu Han shook his head very dryly, "I don't dare to mock you." ”
"Humph!" Yitian is not stupid, as soon as his eyebrows are horizontal, he will be angry at Gu Han.
At this time, a little kid suddenly flashed in front of Yitian and Gu Han, and when he left, he left a very disdainful sentence "Idiot Sword Lady"
So, Yitian stayed where he was.
"What's wrong? Is it even angry with a little child? Gu Han said.
"No, I just feel like I've met an acquaintance!" Yitian's words were a little inexplicable. (To be continued.) )
