After Lu Yuan and Zhou Tong recounted what had happened, they immediately realized that something was wrong.
The first thing that comes to mind is that the southerners were worried about their territory being occupied, so they deliberately sent people to persuade them.
Their immediate reaction was, "Since we have them in our hands, I'll thoroughly investigate them."
Lu Yuan glanced at Zhou Tong and then said, "If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself. There really are quite a few killer birds over there!"
Seeing that Lu Yuan was so persistent, the other party suddenly snorted coldly: "Who are you? What's our relationship? You'd be so kind as to tell us there are killer birds ahead? Don't be ridiculous, this is the apocalypse, did you just transmigrate here, bro!"
Lu Yuan couldn't help but imagine that he had indeed lied to the other party, but those birds had indeed killed people, although those birds only obeyed them.
Therefore, Lu Yuan is no longer worried about the other party going there. As long as he communicates with the people at the camp in time, the birds will naturally come. Perhaps they won't even be able to get to that place before the snow swallows swarm over them.
Seeing that the other party didn't trust them, Lu Yuan and Zhou Tong sighed, "Forget it, Lao Zhou, since they don't believe us, let's leave!"
Zhou Tong immediately nodded: "Then we'll be leaving. If you don't believe us, that's fine. We were just trying to be helpful, and you still doubt us. Honestly, these days, doing good deeds doesn't even bring good rewards!"
Although the two wanted to leave, how could the other party let Lu Yuan and Zhou Tong leave so easily? Immediately, the man's eyes flickered, and several armed men immediately blocked Lu Yuan and Zhou Tong's way.
"You think you can just leave after saying that and you won't be held legally responsible? Let me tell you, since you're here, you'd better lead the way properly. If you say there are killer birds ahead, then prove it to us!"
Upon hearing their words, Lu Yuan and Zhou Tong exchanged a glance and smiled.
They've already taken the bait. Once they witness the power of the Snow Swallow, they'll naturally abandon that place.
Lu Yuan would lead them along a more rugged mountain path, which might waste some time, but at least it would be safer.
Lu Yuan has even started thinking about what to do next, since the safety of their camp is still not guaranteed.
Lu Yuan and Zhou Tong were temporarily trapped in their camp, where they were currently being guarded by five or six people, while the others continued fishing nearby.
Lu Yuan and Zhou Tong squatted among their group, watching the few guards who were staring intently at the plump fish in the distance, swallowing their saliva incessantly, feeling somewhat helpless.
"Old Zhou, do you have anything to eat?"
Old Zhou immediately realized that Lu Yuan was probably trying to pique their interest and find out more, so he nodded and said, "There's more, it's in my bag. Hey, brother, we're hungry, can we take some of what's in our bag and share it?"
The group then realized that the two newcomers were carrying bags, and they had forgotten to search them.
So the group quickly took out Lu Yuan and Zhou Tong's bags and turned them upside down.
Sure enough, they found a lot of food inside, including dried and marinated fish, chicken, and various kinds of small poultry and livestock meat, such as venison, chicken, and duck. Everyone looked at it and their eyes revealed a look of shock.
"Boss, look at all this food! How is that possible? Tell me where you got so much food!"
One of the underlings wiped the drool from his mouth and ears and then reprimanded Lu Yuan and Zhou Tong in a very stern tone.
Lu Yuan and Zhou Tong exchanged a glance, and both showed a hint of helplessness.
"It's on that mountain over there, it's really good for hunting. I'm telling you this so you'll go there. The game there is really easy to hunt. If you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourselves!"
Upon hearing Lu Yuan and Zhou Tong's words, the leader, while eating the freshly grilled fish, revealed a look of extreme distrust in his eyes: "Hmph, you say you have it and then you think you have it? You're kidding me. There's no such kind person. Anyway, I've never seen anyone like you in the apocalypse. Alright, stop wasting your breath on them. Keep a close watch on them. You guys eat quickly, and we'll switch shifts when you're done. We still have to travel soon. The people ahead are almost at the big lake. It'll be a bit safer once we get to the lake!"
Upon hearing his words, both Lu Yuan and Zhou Tong showed a hint of astonishment in their eyes.
To ensure they didn't go that way, Lu Yuan gave Zhou Tong a wink.
Then he suddenly clutched his stomach and started rolling around on the ground.
"Ouch, it hurts so much! My stomach hurts so much!"
The group of people were even more astonished when they saw Lu Yuan's pained expression.
They first looked at Lu Yuan, then asked Zhou Tong, "What's wrong with your brother? He was fine just now, and now he has a stomachache?"
Lu Yuan groaned as he said, "Can...can I go to the toilet? I have a stomach problem, and if I don't go, I'll get an infection right away!"
When Lu Yuan mentioned that he had suffered a stomach injury, everyone expressed their sympathy.
After all, once the stomach and intestines are injured, food cannot stay in the stomach for long, so they have to eat frequently.
