Seeing the other group of people guarding the all-terrain transport vehicle, and seeing that they immediately changed direction after communicating and started heading west along the dilapidated road, the man couldn't help but lick his lips.
A look of regret appeared on his face again, and he felt a little annoyed that he couldn't keep the all-terrain transport vehicle.
He actually didn't see clearly what was loaded in the transport truck, but judging from the fully armed appearance of the team, the things loaded in the transport truck must be of great value!
If the other party was not obviously very difficult to deal with, and if they had not had more important things to do immediately, he would probably have tried to test it out and see if there was any opportunity to make a fortune.
Except for the areas controlled by medium and large forces, where a relatively stable order can be guaranteed, most of the small settlements in the wasteland are actually no different from bandits.
If merchants want to do business in these settlements, it is best to have sufficient military support.
If you are strong enough, those settlements will do business with you honestly. If you are very weak, the settlements may swallow you up in one gulp without spitting out even a bone!
As for whether this will deter other merchants from coming to trade, there is no need to worry about that at all.
The wasteland is never short of desperate criminals who disregard risks for profit.
As long as there is a satisfactory profit margin in transactions within the settlement, there will definitely be no shortage of people coming to try their luck.
Therefore, truly mature traveling merchants are always equipped with strong military power.
This is not only a safety guarantee when trading with settlements, but also an objective need for traveling merchants to fight against various dangers when traveling around the wasteland.
Just like the team just now!
Thinking of this, the man couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing this, the other man next to him immediately said with a flattering look on his face, "Boss, why don't we just stop them? They don't seem to be many in number. There are even elderly people and children on the transport vehicle. All together, there are only eleven people.
"Besides, since they can use the 'Eclipse' series, even if they are Awakened, their Awakening level must not be high. We have so many people, and we are right next to the camp. We can mobilize another 200 people at any time. If we really want to stop them, it will be no problem, right?"
Upon hearing this, the sighing man raised his hand and slapped the man who made the suggestion on the back of the head.
He said angrily: "You are so damn smart! How could I not think of this! The most important thing for us now is to go south and take over the Blackthorn Camp immediately! Otherwise, if we delay for too long, the people of Blackthorn will have time to recover and stabilize the situation! Then if we want to merge the Blackthorn Camp with us, we will have to spend a lot of effort!
Merchants like that, if they fail to make a deal once, they'll definitely come back a second time! Besides, there are only a few forces around here, and when merchants come here, they basically have to go through all of them! It doesn't matter if we don't touch them now, it doesn't matter if we keep them! Sooner or later, we'll find an opportunity to strike!"
After saying that, the man clapped his hands vigorously twice and shouted, "Everyone, run with me! Let's try to finish all the work today! Let's make Blackthorn Camp ours! Then everyone will have their own. I'll give you three days to do whatever you want!"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!"
Everyone howled with excitement, and then, led by this man, trotted towards the south with high morale.
At this moment, none of them knew what they would encounter...
"Actually, sometimes I feel a strange sense of absurdity. Just like just now, we all knew that the zombie tide had completely erupted and was not far from flooding the Blackthorn Camp, but the Brotherhood camp closest to the Blackthorn Camp knew nothing about it.
They still fantasize about the bright future after annexing the Blackthorn Camp, so they rush towards the zombie tide like moths to a flame. They are obviously not stupid, but they are blinded by the expected benefits and ignore the possible dangers.
Chen Yan spoke as he walked forward at a steady pace.
Turning west from the Brotherhood camp and walking on the dilapidated, bumpy road, everyone was actually away from the danger of the zombie tide.
The huge tide of zombies, after forming a northward trend, was like a high-speed train, and it was impossible for it to stop or change direction immediately.
Therefore, the zombie tide will only move northward until it reaches the northern coastline, and then it will be diverted by the sea.
Without the threat of the zombie tide, everyone in the small group seemed much more relaxed, and subconsciously slowed down their pace.
The road conditions are quite bad!
Although the wheels of the all-terrain transport vehicle are all active independent suspensions, they can automatically adjust the damping force of the shock absorber according to road conditions, ensuring that the transport vehicle can move forward smoothly regardless of road conditions.
However, the poor road conditions will still affect the transport vehicle's forward speed, forcing the transport vehicle to drive as carefully as possible.
"This sense of disconnection is quite normal, as everyone is limited by their own cognition and often has vastly different perspectives on the same matter. Some people think their ship is sinking, so they sell their boat, go ashore, and look for other solutions.
But some people think that the ship can't sink, and there are so many people who need a ship. The current ship price is just low, which is a good time to buy it at the bottom and then wait for it to appreciate. So they buy up as many ships as possible that have been sold. This situation is very common.
Li Fengnian smiled and continued, "And at this point, you must not use your understanding to try to convince the other party, even if your understanding is correct. You know the ship is really going to sink, and it's 100% certain to sink, but if you hope to convince those who think the ship won't sink, they will only think you have ulterior motives.
When people interact with each other, a sense of distance is crucial. Just like two hedgehogs, maintaining a distance just above their spines allows them to warm each other. But if there's no distance at all, they'll end up hurting each other.
Chen Yan nodded slowly, and many thoughts emerged in his mind.
For example, those who participated in the Ponzi scheme, once it was exposed, began to cry out for injustice, crying and cursing the unscrupulous scammers for stealing their hard-earned money.
But when they were involved in the Ponzi scheme, were they really unaware of the risks involved?
In fact, most people are clear about it.
They are just gambling, gambling that they will not be the last wave of leeks to take over, gambling that they can get out of it safely before the collapse!
Ultimately, it’s greed that’s at work!
