Chapter 1169: Campsite and Ranks
This time, everyone rushed over to the campsite. Israel, on the other hand, was not as rash. She followed them beside Lu Shu.
Lu Shu was curious as he saw the crowd rush towards the campsite. “Why aren’t you rus.h.i.+ng over with them, although you know that I am a Rank Three, the campsite probably has several hundred people there and there would definitely be more than one Rank Three inside.”
The remains were exceptionally dangerous. Therefore, Pract.i.tioners were forced to stay together despite belonging from different organisations.
In fact, did humankind not live together to hunt and defend themselves from danger? As humans gradually ruled the world, their habit of living together did not change.
Like an army of ants, the city was like an ant colony and had clear role allocations.
A minority of the people thought that they could completely leave the group. However, that was only the minority.
The people in the remains seemed to have gone back in time. They had to stay together to be able to defend against the ferocious creatures.
The hard truth in the remains told them that they were not the rulers of the remains.
Israel looked at Lu Shu. “I feel that you are more reliable. Although you may not be as powerful as them, you have a good personality.”
Lu Shu smacked his lips. Then, he said, “I think you should stay at the campsite.”
The campsite looked as if it had been attacked by creatures as the walls were damaged. Lu Shu also saw several enormous footprints that belonged to the creatures nearby.
Therefore, the people in the campsite had experience dealing with creatures. Of course, Lu Shu felt that they had only met creatures who were Rank Two and below. Even a herd of wild cows could trample the entire campsite in minutes. After all, Lu Shu was afraid to offend the creatures who could eat lightning.
At this moment, Lu Shu suddenly saw how Israel became dispirited. Just as Lu Shu was wondering what had happened, Israel said, “Are you so desperate to get rid of me, do you think that I am a burden?”
Lu Shu said without thinking. “Yes.”
Israel was speechless.
“From Israel Moore’s distress, +748!”
Israel turned over and wiped her tears secretly. “Do you think I want to be like that? Everyone knew that the remains were dangerous, is there anything wrong to find someone to protect me? I am so famous in the outside world, is there anything wrong for me to make use of my skills to live?”
Lu Shu did not speak. He was slightly stunned. Why did she suddenly explode with emotion?
Israel continued, “The world is like so, in order to protect oneself, one has to learn how to make use of resources, how to choose one’s friends and how to source external help, right? I am only an ordinary person, I only want to live happily, I only want to be better than others, what’s wrong with that?”
After hearing this, Lu Shu paused for a moment before replying, “You are right. However, there’s something which I cannot agree to. You shouldn’t be sourcing for external help if you want to live a better life. Instead, you should strive to become more powerful, no matter how difficult and tiring that may be. After all, other’s capability belongs only to them.”
“You make it seem as though you are very powerful with that tone of an expert, but you are merely a Rank Three,” mumbled Israel. At this moment, she saw Lu Shu walking towards the campsite again and quickly followed behind him. “Do you think there are those types of people in this campsite?”
Lu Shu knew what Israel was referring to, pract.i.tioners who suppressed ordinary humans.
“I am not sure. After all, one’s ambitions could inflate,” said Lu Shu, “However, with such a big campsite, no matter how ambitious one was, one ought to keep it down a little. After all, everyone would make it out sooner or later.”
In the past, the three pract.i.tioners were extremely brazen as they wanted to kill everyone who knew about the matter. In that case, even if the remains ended, there were no repercussions.
However, there were several hundreds of people in the campsite and it was impossible to kill all of them. Therefore, everyone had their guards up.
The people in the campsite were alerted by the crowd who ran over. They came out from their tents or got up from the floor.
“Oh no!” Lu Shu shouted.
Suddenly, Israel saw Lu Shu sprint towards the campsite. She looked at Lu Shu in shock and confusion before looking at the campsite. “What’s wrong with the campsite?”
“There’s nothing wrong with the campsite,” replied Lu Shu, “Why are your colleagues carrying my sheep!”
Israel was speechless.
Just a while ago, he was calm, and yet now, he was worrying about his sheep?! What kind of person was he!
Israel definitely could not understand. Lu Shu knew very well about the personalities of the pract.i.tioners. The remains had already been suffering from a scarcity of food, the sheep would definitely attract their attention!
Although there was a flock of sheep in his Seal of Lands, Lu Shu thought that he should be thrifty and could not afford to lose even half of his sheep!
Then, Israel saw Lu Shu run over and take back the sheep…
Someone walked out of the campsite. Just by taking a glance, Lu Shu knew that more than half of the people in the campsite were ordinary people! Lu Shu took a sigh, the remains was a catastrophe for the ordinary people. They had to depend on luck to stay alive.
At this moment, a black man with short black hair walked out and people around him made way for him. He stared straight at Lu Shu… To be exact, he was staring straight at Lu Shu’s sheep and said, “Were the sheep hunted by you guys?”
“Yes,” before Lu Shu could speak, someone took over. It was the colleagues of Israel acting as though they had captured the sheep.
“How many ordinary people are there in your group?” asked the man with short hair.
“Only two pract.i.tioners,” someone answered, “However, their rankings are low, only Rank Five.”
The person laughed. “If you give us the sheep, we will allow you guys to enter this campsite and be protected. However, the condition is, the pract.i.tioners have to hunt with us.”
Lu Shu was displeased. “Why should I give you the sheep?”
“Because we found out about the secret of this remains and can keep you guys alive,” said a pract.i.tioner beside the man.
Lu Shu was stunned for a moment. Secret of the remains?!
He realized that the campsite seemed to have formed cliques led by the Rank Two short-haired man. Others looked at him quietly.
However, Lu Shu did not care if the other party formed a clique or not . No matter what, they were still as weak as an ant. At least, that was what Lu Shu thought. He was only concerned about what secret the other party was referring to!
“I will give you the sheep and you shall let us stay,” said Lu Shu.
Israel and the rest looked at Lu Shu gratefully, although they knew that the sheep were not hunted by them.
