"Alright, let me ask you something. Your camp leader is named Harold, right?"
The other person nodded.
"How many people are in the camp? How many guns? What is the approximate male-to-female ratio? What do they usually eat?"
Lu Yuan asked almost anything that came to mind, launching into a long series of questions.
The translator slowly translated his words to the other party, and the man lying on the ground pondered for a while before answering his question.
After his description, Lu Yuan learned that Harold's camp was the largest gang in the vicinity of this Amazonian stretch of road, with a total of nearly 50,000 people.
However, their weapons were being used up very quickly because they lived on the edge of the Amazon River, next to a jungle where monsters frequently attacked.
So in order to survive, they have almost emptied their savings over the years, leaving only a portion of their ammunition for self-defense. They basically do not use firearms to deal with the monsters in normal times.
Their food sources are mainly the mutated monsters and non-mutated wild animals in the forest. They basically eat whatever they encounter, so they are not too worried about food sources.
Although the Amazon rainforest experienced several disasters after the apocalypse, it has managed to recover in the past two years and has not caused the extinction of the forests.
It is precisely because of this huge forest that these creatures have been able to survive, but in recent years, more and more mutated creatures have emerged.
The timing of these biological mutations almost coincides with the time when Lu Yuan and his team discovered the catalyst ores in the outside world.
In other words, the mutation that occurred on their side had continued for about two or three years, which surprised Lu Yuan greatly.
Since the disaster, people who originally lived in nearby cities have fled to the Amazon rainforest to escape the calamity in the cities.
The influx of people has accelerated the rate of biological mutation here. Humans here live almost entirely according to the law of the jungle, where the fittest survive and the survivors are mostly skilled hunters.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but look at them with some emotion: "No wonder you few dared to rush here to steal things! By the way, how many troops does your camp leader Harold have now?"
After a while, the other party said, "There is no army anymore, everyone is a soldier! If you insist on talking about people who use weapons, then it's hard for me to count them."
Anyway, it's very rare. Only those at the squad leader level and above are issued a pistol, and ammunition is strictly controlled. We've now lost our ammunition production capacity!
The other party spoke very sincerely. Lu Yuan kept staring at the other party and found that there was no evasion in the other party's eyes. He answered almost every question, and it was clear that he had already given in.
"Alright, in that case, I'll let you go back, but you have to pass on a message for me when you get back!"
Upon hearing that Lu Yuan was going to let him go, the other person immediately sat up straight in excitement.
"Go back and tell Harold that this area, within a hundred kilometers, will be our territory from now on. However, we can give you the monsters we hunt. If you are willing to cooperate, have Harold personally bring his men here to find me!"
After hearing this, the other party nodded repeatedly. He had personally seen Lu Yuan's men, and they were all brave and skilled in battle. Moreover, the quality of their army was not much worse than before the apocalypse, and their weapons and equipment were also very advanced.
If they can cooperate with Lu Yuan and his group, their tribe will never lack food or clothing again.
After giving the other person some food, Lu Yuan saw them off.
Two days later, Lu Yuan returned to the dimensional space and had lunch with Xiao Shan.
Xiaoshan is now more than nine months pregnant and is about to give birth. Her belly is so big it looks like a ball. She walks around in the nearby park every day.
To address this, Lu Yuan specifically built a forest park nearby, ensuring that Xiao Shan's living environment would not be affected by external factors.
This is a dimensional space. Although it is one of the few remaining pure lands on Earth, the air has become somewhat polluted due to recent industrial development. Chen Ling is worried that Xiao Shan's baby will be affected, which is why she has complained to Shi Quan repeatedly.
After walking around the park with Xiaoshan, Xiaoshan felt too tired to walk anymore. With Lu Yuan's help, Xiaoshan, dragging her pregnant belly, slowly sat down on a bench, her face radiating maternal glow.
"Sigh, I really don't want to do anything, I just want to stay by your side and give birth to the baby!"
Lu Yuan sat to the side and gently stroked Xiao Shan's belly.
Xiao Shan then placed her hand on the back of her hand and smiled gently: "It's already this late, so go ahead and do what you need to do. The doctor said I still have at least another month before I can give birth, and the baby is quite active now, kicking me a lot in my belly!"
As they were talking, Lu Yuan felt a small bulge suddenly appear on Xiao Shan's belly. He looked at the bulge with surprise and shock.
Is this how our children react to me?
"Yes, the doctor said he can hear you when you talk to him now!"
Lu Yuan was grinning from ear to ear. He had never encountered this situation before. It seemed that all first-time fathers were like this.
