The leader and the two cameramen were gossiping. Although the few of them were deliberately hiding something, Lu Shu could tell that they were glancing over at him occasionally.
They were trying to deceive themselves and did not have the special training to escape from a Rank One’s intuitions. Therefore, no matter how prudent they were when they peeked at Lu Shu, they were still discovered by him…
Perhaps, both the leader and the cameramen did not know who they were trying to prey on.
Lu Shu was waiting for them to signal for help. However, the leader patted the two cameramen’s shoulders and left after giving both of them a small piece of dry rations.
The two cameramen were not satisfied with that reward and wanted to fight for more. However, after they started complaining, the leader took the dry rations away from them…
That was really unfortunate. Lu Shu felt sorry for the two cameramen. They had done their best but did not receive anything.
Actually, this was the usual ending for most greedy people like them as they would get sabotaged by their own greed.
However, what surprised Lu Shu was the fact that after chasing the two cameramen away, the leader did not directly head over to look for Lu Shu. Instead, he gathered everyone and asked for a meeting!
“A meeting, what for?” someone asked.
“Right now, our campsite has to make a choice involving life and death, we need everyone to gather to discuss some matters,” said the leader.
Lu Shu pouted. He saw the leader secretly talking to some of his followers. He must have had some ideas.
He claimed that he wanted everyone to make a decision together. However, in reality, he would probably head in the direction with that group of individuals.
A group of them sat beside the bonfire with the practitioners in the center and ordinary people in the outer circle. Suddenly, the hierarchy of the campsite was shown. Ordinary people did not even have the position to take a seat.
The leader suddenly said as he stood in the middle of the circle, “You guys have probably heard, there’s not much food left in our campsite. Moreover, the hunting method we used in the past is obsolete so we need to discuss a new measure to tackle this problem.”
Lu Shu almost laughed out loud upon hearing that. They had the guts to claim that they went for a hunt although they were simply taking advantage of others…
“From today onwards,” said the leader, “All the food shall be given to the Practitioners first. All the resources shall be distributed evenly. This is in order to ensure the survival of the campsite. Does anyone have any objections?”
The campsite was silent. As the beneficiaries, the Practitioners did not have any objections. On the other hand, the ordinary people were afraid to comment.
At this moment, the leader looked at Lu Shu. “Do you have any objections?”
Lu Shu was stunned for a moment. He kept silent for a few seconds before replying, “Do we have food?”
The leader said, “… No…”
“From Antell Stewart’s distress, +666…”
“Then what’s the point of our discussion,” said Lu Shu.
“Alright, let’s go on to the next topic,” interrupted the leader. He could not allow Lu Shu to continue or nothing could be accomplished! The leader changed the topic and asked Lu Shu, “How do you think we should look for a way out?”
Lu Shu thought, “This brat could not hold it in any longer.” However, he was much more straightforward than Lu Shu thought he would be.
Since the start, Lu Shu knew that the leader did not have any good intentions. However, he thought that since they were holding a meeting, they would have to wait till the end to see his true colors.
Were the meetings in China not all the same? Start off by putting on a show and saying the important things casually in the end. Everyone tried to hide their opinions and did not want others to know their true intentions. At the end of the day, everyone was just putting on a show.
However, the style here was different from China’s. It was straight to the point.
After seeing Lu Shu keeping silent, the leader signalled to his followers. Many people around the bonfire stared unkindly at Lu Shu.
A follower stood up and said to Lu Shu, “We are asking you a question, do you still want to be protected in the campsite? If not, get out!”
The female practitioner beside him wanted to laugh. Why would an expert who had the invisible storage equipment need the campsite’s protection? Clearly not.
Then, at this moment, footsteps were heard outside the campsite. Everyone stared in horror into the dark. The bonfire could only light up a limited region around it so they could not see the person’s features clearly. However, his footsteps were heavy and it painted an image of a strong man in everyone’s minds immediately.
Lu Shu frowned too. Nobody would dare to randomly run around in the remains at night, so who was it? Could there be other experts hiding in Yellowstone National Park?
Or… The creatures from the remains?
The figure in the dark gradually appeared. Everyone was stunned. It was a handsome young man with a good figure. The reason behind the heavy footsteps was because he was lugging a huge bear on his shoulders.
The bear was a few times bigger than the young man. Therefore, the contrast was extremely obvious and it felt as though they were watching a movie.
The bear was already dead but Lu Shu noticed something strange when he saw the neck of the bear. It looked as though it was killed after being hit on the neck by someone!
A bear had a strong life. Many people thought that the lion was the best at attacking, followed by tiger then leopard. However, they were fooled by fairytales.
A bear was definitely ranked in the top three in terms of attacking power.
Evolution of creatures were regulated. The Matthew Effect was common knowledge. So if the young man was able to defeat the bear so easily, how powerful could he be?
Lu Shu frowned. He could not tell the power waves from the young man!
What was happening? Where did this powerful individual come from? Why was he omitted from the reports of the Heavenly Network? Lu Shu was wondering if he was a creature that evolved into a human? However, he was wearing clothes.
There were cases where creatures evolved to become man. Although Little Fury was not capable of doing that and the herd of cows did not evolve, Hai Gongzi had done it.
Lu Shu had yet to figure out the conditions needed for creatures to evolve into humans. Or could it be by choice?
The young man threw the bear onto the ground and smiled at the people around the bonfire who were staring blankly at him, “Why aren’t you welcoming me? I brought a welcome gift for you.”
Lu Shu did not speak. He was speaking fluent Mandarin. How did he not meet him in China, was he a foreign Chinese or a creature from the remains? He could not put a finger on it and could only wait for the young man to reveal other clues.
