Chapter 422: Money makes the world go round

There were still many people sticking their heads out of their tents to look at them. In the pitch-black night, wherever Annan's flashlight went, there was a pair of bright eyes.

She walked forward, looking around, then stopped at a tent with children.

There was only one woman in the tent, with a little girl of about six or seven years old.

The woman was pure white, but the little girl looked like a mixed race. Judging from her appearance, her father should be Chinese, or some other yellow race. But he was obviously gone now.

Annan bent down and handed over a few pieces of candy.

The little girl's eyes immediately lit up, but she didn't rush to reach out to take it. Instead, she turned to look at her mother.

The woman looked at Annan warily and hesitated for a long time before nodding to her daughter who had a pleading look on her face.

The girl immediately took the candy from Annan with a smile on her face, quickly tore off the candy shell, and put it into her mouth.

The woman next to her seemed to have suddenly thought of something, so she took the candy and licked it herself. After a while, she was sure that she was fine, and then she returned the candy to her daughter.

Annan smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's not poisonous."

Watching the little girl happily putting the candy in her mouth, Annan found out two more sausages.

But this time he didn't hand it over directly. Instead, he waved it in front of them and said, "I have something to ask you. After you answer, these will be yours."

The woman looked at the two sausages and couldn't help swallowing her saliva. Then she nodded and replied in Chinese with a foreign accent: "Okay. Ask."

Annan: "Why are you all gathered here? What did you do before? Where did you come from?"

The woman tried hard to translate Annan's questions before answering them one by one.

It turned out that these foreigners all came from Qingcheng. Some of them were international students from Qingcheng University, some were migrant workers there, and some were multinational tourists who came here for tourism.

The ancient city of Qingcheng has a long history and profound cultural heritage. The surrounding scenery is magnificent and majestic, with a variety of landforms such as Gobi, grassland, mountains, and caves. It attracts many tourists from all over the world every year.

Of course, this also includes so-called "explorers" like Brother Lai Fu and Pockmarked Face.

The natural disaster came suddenly, and all of these foreigners were stranded in China, unable to return home.

The existing resources in Qingcheng are insufficient. Even the Chinese compatriots are fighting to the death for food, not to mention these outsiders.

Every one of them was rejected by the locals.

In particular, many foreigners have the habit of long-term fitness, strong survival ability, and are good at looting supplies, which has angered local residents.

Gradually, the locals shared a common hatred of the enemy. No matter whether they were enemies they were fighting with or not, as soon as they saw these foreigners, they immediately put aside their disputes and united to deal with them, and gradually drove all the foreigners out of the city.

Later, these wandering people were gathered together by Brother Lai Fu.

He said he was an explorer from America and had a large number of tents and equipment, which could provide a place for all the foreigners to stay. In this way, all these foreigners were gathered together and provided with a certain amount of food.

After listening to this, Annan said meaningfully: "So you must be very protective of your leader."

Unexpectedly, the woman shook her head:

"In order to survive, we worked for him and obeyed his orders in exchange for food...but we only received one meal a week."

"More often than not, what we eat is actually our dead neighbors..."

Only one meal a week? ?

Annan understood that Brother Laifu just wanted to gather these people together to help him save face. On the surface, it seemed that only with numbers could one defend the territory and the supplies in hand.

But he didn't really care about the lives of these people. He just wanted to keep them alive for a meal every week.

The only ones who truly benefited from his kindness were probably the thugs who protected him.

Annan handed the sausage to the woman. She happily accepted it, quickly set up the tent, and hid inside with her daughter to eat. After all, only what goes into the stomach is one's own.

Next, Annan and Gu Zhiyu chose different areas and asked a few more families, and the answers they got were similar.

As they walked back, the two of them summarized:

"This place is different from the Cang Lang Gang and the Mountain and the Base. They have no cohesion, nor are they loyal to the boss. It can't even be considered an organization. It can only be said to be a gathering place for foreigners."

Gu Zhiyu nodded: "These people are hungry all year round, but their leader eats a lot and has a greasy face. Naturally, there is no way they can have any cohesion."

There was no need for any threats. With just a few pieces of candy, these people got all of Lai Fu's secrets.

When the two returned to their residence, the tent had already been set up.

Money makes the world go round. The two black men saw that the tent could only accommodate two people, so they got another tent from somewhere and set it up next to it for the three kids to live in.

Annan was very satisfied with their attitude and gave them a few more candies.

The two black men left contentedly and returned to stand guard in front of Brother Lai Fu's door.

Annan led the three little ones into one of the tents and left some pet food for them, while he and Gu Zhiyu went into another tent.

The two of them ate some bread and milk to fill their stomachs. Two hours later, when the night was getting darker and almost everyone in the tent was asleep, Annan finally came out of the tent.

Although the black brother not far away received her kindness, he still remembered the leader's orders and stared at Annan's actions nervously, fearing that she would suddenly rush over.

But she just went to the next tent and said to the three pets, "Go to bed quickly! You have work to do tomorrow," and then returned to her own tent and never came out again.

The two black men breathed a sigh of relief and continued to stand guard diligently.

In Annan's tent.

Gu Zhiyu asked in a low voice: "Have they all been put into the space?"

Annan nodded: "Not a single one is left behind."

Then he smiled and said, "As soon as Fugui entered the manor, he started drinking the spring water."

Gu Zhiyu: "Let's go."

Annan grabbed his hand and said, "Let's go!"

The next moment, the two of them appeared directly in the cave behind Brother Lai Fu's tent.

As he had no idea of ​​the exact location in the cave, Annan could only flash to the entrance of the cave, carefully put the bomb into the space, and then slowly walk inside along the corridor.

That Brother Lai Fu is really quite capable. All three mechanisms are in good condition and have not been damaged.

In order to avoid alerting the enemy, they did not activate the mechanism but instead flashed straight in.

After passing through the triple doors, the two finally succeeded in entering the warehouse.
