Two Hundred and Thirty-Six, the Beginning of Differences

There are 178 barriers on the wasteland, 178 is in the northwest border, which is the westernmost of the entire barrier territory, where the summer heat is unbearable, and the winter is three feet frozen, covered with ice and snow.

Someone once stood on the wall of Fortress 178 and looked out. His eyes were full of devastated loess, and even the river was turbid yellow rushing towards the east.

The Qing family, the Yang family, and the Li family are located in the southwest of the entire barrier territory. Due to geographical relations, these three consortiums have always been the three most closely related in the southwest, and the main control areas of other consortiums are also difficult to expand to the southwest due to inconvenient transportation.

Among them, the Li family is located at the southernmost point. It is said that further south is the rainforest that is difficult to get out of. There are poisonous insects everywhere. It is said that no one has ever been able to go through that rainforest and continue south.

However, due to the movement of the earth's crust, the climate of the three families is also changing, and it is getting colder and colder. In recent years, the ecology of the rainforest has also undergone earth-shaking changes. Li Shi even planned to include this rainforest in his territory and build new barriers.

Qing's is located in the northeast of Li's. The terrain is difficult to defend and difficult to attack. The 111 barrier is even known as a mountain city, because the city is built on the mountain, and it is an extremely important water and land hub in the southwest.

The Yang family is located in a huge basin, and the north is adjacent to the Longnan Zong family and the 178 barrier. However, in recent years, the Zong family has been plotting the northwest area controlled by the 178 barrier, and there is not much intersection with the Yang family.

This kind of geography is destined to be a situation where the three pillars compete in the southwest. The resources of the three are not shared. The Li family has it, but the Yang family does not have it. The Yang family has it, but the Qing family does not.

Wars are never without reasons, and resources are the purpose of wars.

But someone once said that he had been to the Eastern Central Plains in the early years, where it was more prosperous, and there were even large human settlements outside the barriers.

But the world after the catastrophe is no longer the world they knew.

Just after zero o'clock on New Year's Eve, Hu Hua has probably returned to the 108th barrier, and the three war machines have accumulated their forces at the intersection of the three families, waiting for the real war to come dozens of miles away.

Yan Liuyuan and the others were very excited at first, but they couldn't stand it until it was too late and went to bed. Ren Xiaosu sat by the campfire alone, thinking about plans for the future, and thinking about how to keep everyone alive in this war.

According to nonsense, he can send Yan Liuyuan and others to live in the 108 barrier. Even if the experimental body comes to attack, it is impossible to overthrow a heavily guarded barrier.

Moreover, it is impossible for the war between the three consortiums to ignite so quickly.

War is a game, and no smart person will place bets on the entire table from the very beginning.

It was snowing again in the sky, the door of a room opened suddenly, Yan Liuyuan came out dressed in clothes and sat next to Ren Xiaosu: "Brother, are you worried about this war?"

"En," Ren Xiaosu responded.

"Why don't we leave here," Yan Liuyuan said in a low voice, "Even if we live in the deep mountains and old forests, we can still live well."

Ren Xiaosu glanced at him and said, "Have you stopped contacting the outside world since then?"

"Brother, I know you want to go to Fortress 88 to find Sister Xiaojin, but why didn't she come to you," Yan Liuyuan said: "Actually, I found out the location of Fortress 88, but I don't want to say it, because I don't think there will be any difference when we go to Fortress 88. She is an important figure in the Yang Consortium, and we are just refugees."

Ren Xiaosu looked at Yan Liuyuan. In fact, they often had disagreements in the past. For example, Yan Liuyuan didn't want to go to school and wanted to help him with hunting, but Ren Xiaosu refused, and the two even had quarrels.

But this time, Ren Xiaosu discovered that Yan Liuyuan hated the word barrier from the bottom of his heart, so much so that even the people in the barrier were hated together.

Yan Liuyuan said: "Brother, we are not welcome in the barrier."

Ren Xiaosu sighed: "When you went to school in Barrier 109, you said that you got along well with your classmates every day when you went home. Now it seems that you lied."

"Well," Yan Liuyuan nodded: "No one wants to talk to me and Dalong, and they even hide far away. Their parents have warned them ten thousand times, because they are afraid that they will become friends with me. The teacher asked me to answer questions in class, but I couldn't keep up with the progress because I didn't learn it. The teacher would say that it's normal for refugees to learn, and refugees are stupid. Once a classmate lost something, and everyone suspected that Wang Dalong and I stole it..."

Ren Xiaosu was silent, that was the stereotype of the refugees from the barrier people, and it was their decades-old cognition.

Yan Liuyuan continued: "They searched for the seats of Wang Dalong and me, but they found nothing. But at that time, sister Xiaoyu often gave me pocket money, a lot, more than other students. After seeing the money, the teacher said that I must have stolen it, because it is impossible for refugees to have so much money."

"I tried to explain something to them, but it was useless. Wang Dalong was so scared that he cried, but brother, don't worry, I didn't cry, because you said, this world never believes in tears." Yan Liuyuan said: "Brother, I don't like barriers, and I don't like barrier people. Maybe sister Yang Xiaojin is different, but what about her relatives and friends?"

Ren Xiaosu sighed, "I don't know."

"So, brother," Yan Liuyuan said resolutely, "wait until she comes to you. If she doesn't come, then your journey north to the 88th barrier will be meaningless. You once told me, don't let the sorrow of this era become my sorrow, but the sorrow of this era has become a cancer in the bones of the barrier people."

"You should have told me then," Ren Xiaosu said.

"What will you do?" Yan Liuyuan looked at Ren Xiaosu.

"I'll kill everyone who wronged you," Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, "We can't go to the north now, so we'll send you to Fortress 108 early tomorrow morning. You don't have to go to school. Let Teacher Jiang Wu teach you. Although she is only a Chinese teacher, she has also received a comprehensive education. It is more than enough to teach you mathematics, physics and chemistry."

Yan Liuyuan's eyes lit up when he heard this: "I like Teacher Jiang Wu, I think she is quite suitable for you."

"You're a big kid," Ren Xiaosu cast a glance at him.

However, at this moment, Yan Liuyuan suddenly raised his head and looked towards a hillside. Ren Xiaosu followed his gaze, only to find that the wolf king was standing there alone, looking at Yan Liuyuan from afar.

Ren Xiaosu was sure that the wolf king was not looking at him. This scene had happened before when he was fleeing. At this time, Ren Xiaosu was a little confused. The wolf king had already led the wolves into the deep mountains. As a result, the night Yan Liuyuan came to the post, he came to take a look at the risk.

Ren Xiaosu asked: "Have you had any encounters with this wolf king?"

"No," Yan Liuyuan shook his head.

There is only this chapter today, so it can be regarded as a leave of absence. After nearly three months of serialization, I also took a short day off. I need to sort out the next train of thought and plot, everyone forgive me.
