Chapter 125 Coal
"It's you!"
"You, you are the soldier who delivered the message?"
Ryan finally recognized the disheveled guy.
Two months ago, he and the lord's hunting team were heading north and encountered a human village. However, the village chief did not show up at all and asked the soldier in front of him to pass on the message. His attitude was extremely bad.
"What soldier? I am the village chief. Take me to see your village chief. I have something important to discuss with you."
The man was shouting anxiously and was quite arrogant.
Ryan turned around and looked at Wang Mumu, not asking for instructions, but because he needed to know whether the other person was a human or a ghost.
"They are human beings, and they are alive."
"What about your village? Why has it fallen to this point?" Ryan asked again, because the last time he saw it, the human village was obviously very powerful, which didn't make sense.
"How could I know that a ghost lady suddenly appeared and attacked my village overnight? Damn, I'm so unlucky. That Wu Yu deserves to die. What did he say to me? The probability of a ghost lady appearing is only one in ten thousand."
"I'm telling you guys, don't just stand there, put down whatever's going on, and take me back to see your village chief. You came here to search for coal, right? I'll take care of it, but take me back first. And then, is there anything to eat? My men, my wife, and my children have been hungry for days."
Wang Shun was not polite at all.
However, after hearing this, Ryan and others instantly understood that this unfortunate village chief was still related to the previous battle on the snowy night.
"Okay, let's go back first."
Ryan hesitated for a moment. Since this matter concerned the Ghost Lady, it was of course a serious one and he needed to go back and report it to the lord.
——
"So, you want to be the second Wu Yu?"
Two days later in the castle, Zhang Yang, who was busy making seamless iron pipes, looked at the young man in front of him with some curiosity. Well, he was five or six years older than him.
Ryan, the exploration team led by Wang Mumu went out for four days and did not bring back any coal. What they brought back was this guy and his 67 soldiers, women and children.
In Zhang Yang's opinion, Ryan was fooled by the other party, and this guy was indeed a boaster. He spoke wildly and even before the detailed discussion, he clamored for all-round cooperation with Zhang Yang's village.
It's not that exaggerated to get something for nothing.
"No, I don't want to be the second Wu Yu. What I mean is, I can cooperate with you like Wu Yu did. You need coal and iron, and I need food. Our two villages can exchange what we have and need, support each other, and even intermarry with each other. You should know the blood crisis of the villagers, right?"
This guy named Wang Shun started to give a lot of reasons as soon as he opened his mouth. He was very convincing and really thought he was Su Qin or Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yang smiled.
"We can cooperate, but what about your village? How many people do you have under your command? Also, if I remember correctly, the coal and iron mines you mentioned are actually left behind by the orc tribe, but they are my spoils of war."
Hearing Zhang Yang say this, Wang Shun just spread his hands.
"You said it was your trophy. It doesn't matter. I'll give it to you. Anyway, my village is lost. I only have a few dozen men left. I am no different from a commander without troops. You can laugh at me if you want, but you need to help me rebuild the village."
"Why?"
"The reason is very good. Because of the constraints of the village construction order, you can't kill me or merge my village. I won't commit suicide, so you can't watch me being killed by those monsters and then take away my part of the Earth Civilization Code. You know, three years ago, the progress bar for deciphering the Earth Civilization Code was only 14%, and now it is 21%. If I die, the progress bar will increase."
"As a friendly village leader, you can't just ignore me. You can't just watch our civilization being hacked by aliens. This is the responsibility and mission that every person on Earth should shoulder."
Wang Shun's argument was very convincing, and it seemed like there was nothing wrong with it.
Zhang Yang laughed, "If I remember correctly, you watched Wu Yu die, right?"
"Minato, I didn't just sit there and watch. I sent people, but they were too late. Besides, the enemy was too strong. I couldn't let my soldiers die in vain."
"What about me? When I led people to inquire that day, you didn't fulfill your obligations as a friendly army. You knew that there was a dragon coming, and you knew that my village was in danger. If you were willing to send a hundred soldiers to solve this crisis with me, I think your village would not have been destroyed by the Ghost Lady."
"But I reminded you, isn't that enough? And why should I send a hundred soldiers to you? Doesn't my own village need to be protected?"
"That's right. I also need to build my village now. Why should I help you rebuild your village?"
"Because I'm a real villain. I can demand others to do what I can't do myself! Don't look at me like that. Don't think I'm a fool. I'm just so shameless. If you're as shameless as me, I won't say anything and will just turn around and leave. Anyway, I won't care if there's a flood after my death or the earth is destroyed. It has nothing to do with me. Am I right?"
“There’s really nothing wrong with this logic.”
"So, are you willing to help me rebuild the village?"
"No, I plan to imprison you until you are wiped out 17 years later because you cannot complete the task of building the village. At that time, your village building order and the part of the Earth civilization code in you will not fall into the hands of aliens. Instead, they will be reshuffled and replaced with a village chief who is better than you."
Zhang Yang said seriously.
The man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed wildly, "Don't be silly, brother. I have only been in this world for 3 years. How about you? Looking at the scale of your village's development, you were able to defeat the orc lord and the three crossing dragons. With such a huge foundation, you should have been in this world for at least 10 years. When your time is up, your men will no longer be able to keep me under house arrest, even if you give a death order, because I have the village construction order, do you understand?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Really Villain. As of today, I have been in this world for 8 months and 9 days, so you can just relax, or just enjoy your final countdown to annihilation comfortably. There are still 17 years left."
Zhang Yang waved his hand, and Wang Mumu and Ryan stepped forward and grabbed the chicken and carried the village chief away.
"Hey, let's talk it out. I'm smart. We're all from the same hometown, we're all family. It's okay if I'm wrong. And I can help you solve the bloodline problem in the village. At worst, I can sacrifice myself and become a stud. Hey! Fuck you, alpaca!"
"Sir, do you want me to kill him? And his men?"
Wu Yuan said in a deep voice.
"Why kill him? Imprison him first. This guy has too many thorns on his body and is too smart. He actually threatened me with a broken pot method. Fortunately, I have a way to deal with him. After this winter, I will have a good talk with him. Ryan said that the coal and iron mines in the orc tribe are very large, but they are too far away from our village, a full 400 miles away. Therefore, it is too inefficient to mine them by ourselves. It is better to support Wang Shun there."
Zhang Yang said calmly that a naughty kid who thought he was smart and had not grown up yet was not worth his consideration at all.
