Chapter 1170: Beneficiary

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Shu saw how the practitioners took away the animals and suddenly felt a sense of regret. How could this group of starving people look like they knew the secret of the remains?
However, if they did not know about the secret, how could they lead these few hundreds of people to survive for days? Yesterday when Lu Shu was hunting for the antelopes, Lu Shu had already discovered many creatures watching them. In fact, some of them were waiting to capture the antelopes but were killed by the sheep.
If Lu Shu could make it in time, he would kill every single onlooker too…
Therefore, there were many large-sized creatures in this remains. How did the low-ranked practitioners and ordinary people survive?
Lu Shu followed them into the campsite in a low-profile manner. He discovered that although they were vigorously discussing about how to split the lamb, they did not let their guards down. The black man with short hair kept looking outside the wall as though he was worried that some creatures might barge into their campsite.
Judging from this cautiousness alone, he was definitely not someone who entered the remains for the first time nor was he an inexperienced candidate.
However, this had nothing to do with Lu Shu as he only wanted to know what the secret of the remains was.
The ratio of ordinary men to women was about 1:1. Everyone sat on the ground helplessly.
Ordinary people did not have tents to live in. Those who brought tents were practitioners who came prepared. On the other hand, the ordinary people were sleeping at home when the haze spread and they were completely unprepared.
Moreover, the ordinary people did not have much self-defense capabilities. It made things worse as they did not bring anything with them.
Lu Shu looked at a middle-aged man sitting beside him and asked, “How did you guys end up in the campsite?”
The middle-aged man said helplessly, “We made a promise that we will pay them after we go out and we have to listen to them and help them do their work.”
“What if you are unable to pay them the amount they want?” asked Lu Shu.
“Then we will be chased out,” said the man.
“Did they ever chase someone out before?” asked Lu Shu.
“Yes, about 20 people were chased out because they were unwilling to comply with their demands,” explained the middle-aged man.
Lu Shu kept quiet for a moment. The people would die if they were chased out. How could the Practitioners bear to do that?
Lu Shu felt that he was not kind at all. In fact, he was a little selfish. However, in situations like this, he would help as much as possible.
That did not mean that he was very caring, but rather it was a form of respect for life. What could be more important than a life?
Of course, there were two sides to a coin. Those who were chased out did not seem to have a desire to live. At this point in time, they cared more about money than their lives and were unwilling to work. Perhaps, pitiful people had a reason to be hated too.
This was rather conflicting. Lu Shu did not want to dwell on it too much and just wanted to lead his own life.
When he turned around, he got a shock. Lu Shu looked at Israel in shock, “Why are you scaring people?”
Israel’s face was covered in dust and she looked dirty. Israel said as though she was wronged, “I am afraid that someone would remember me…”
“You are pretty smart.” Lu Shu’s praise was sincere. When he first met Israel, Israel wanted the entire world to notice her beauty, but now, she realized that her beauty might bring her trouble.
Actually, this statement was not very accurate. Was there anything wrong with being pretty? The wrong was not in beauty but the person who made use of that beauty.
However, many people put the blame on beauty itself and called women names like “Helen of Troy”. What was wrong with someone being pretty…
Israel smiled to herself. “I am definitely smart. Moreover, I think that those Practitioners are not good people.”
At this moment, the antelope meat and mutton was grilled and cut. The black man said, “All Practitioners, come over and eat meat so you can work tomorrow.”
Amongst the group who just arrived with Israel, a photographer suddenly asked, “Then what about us? We don’t get to eat?”
The leader laughed, “The Practitioners should be the ones eating meat used for physical recovery. Why do you guys need it? We will find food for you guys tomorrow.”
“Why, that mutton belongs to us,” the photographer said indignantly and wanted to snatch the mutton back.
The leader punched him in the face and the photographer fell to the ground. The leader laughed, “Now, the mutton doesn’t belong to you anymore.”
As he said that, he looked at everyone in the campsite. “In this place, ordinary people have to serve the Practitioners. Every woman has to serve one Practitioner. I don’t care about how you split the food. Men, on the other hand, have to work. Understand?”
The campsite was silent. The rule seemed to have been set a long time ago. The punch the leader threw was meant to scare the newcomers. However, Lu Shu did not pity them at all. After all, when they found the campsite, they abandoned Lu Shu immediately.
Lu Shu could not wait to leave the group. However, he was not a samaritan. ‘If you decide to find someone else, then don’t turn back.’
The famous relationship expert once said, “If you decide to part ways, then part ways…”
Some of the Practitioners went forward in joy to get their mutton. Then, Lu Shu saw one practitioner wave to a lady after receiving his mutton. He used a knife to cut a small piece for the lady and went back to his tent.
Lu Shu looked at the other Practitioners, all of them did the same thing.
Actually, the Practitioners had enough food. The extra was up to them to distribute. This was a hint for the Practitioners to treat the ordinary people as “slaves”.
Lu Shu suddenly felt that the leader was very smart. He made the Practitioners loyal to him and he did not take all the benefits. Instead, he made everyone enjoy the benefits of “order” and protected the cruel “order”!
The leader waved at Lu Shu. “Come, get your mutton.”
After Lu Shu got his mutton, the leader smiled to him. “You will easily assimilate with this group. We prepared an extra tent for you over there.”
He was trying to rope Lu Shu in directly. He even made the effort to give Lu Shu significantly more mutton.
Lu Shu acted as though he complied but was sneering in his heart. ‘You are f*cking giving me my mutton. If I find out that your secret is not worth a sheep, I will beat you until your brain juices come out!’
‘Don’t ask why half the sheep became one whole sheep, the excess is to make up for interest!’
When Lu Shu turned and walked back, he suddenly realized that many of the women in the campsite were looking at him quietly. To put it accurately, they were salivating after looking at the mutton in his hands.
At this moment, Israel was sitting at a corner, feeling wronged. Lu Shu waved to her and Israel bit her lips before walking to the tent with Lu Shu..
After entering the small tent, Israel suddenly started to take off her clothes. Lu Shu stopped her quietly, “Eat your mutton. I will chase you out if you take off your clothes!”
As he spoke, Lu Shu lay down. The tent was not very small. Lu Shu maintained about half a meter’s distance away from Israel after lying down. Israel looked at Lu Shu in anger, “Am I not good-looking enough? Do you have someone else you like, is she prettier than me?”
Lu Shu gave it a thought. “Yes, prettier than you…”
