Plane Supermarket

Chapter 168

The town developed at a speed beyond Ye Zhou's imagination.

When Zou Ming was found to be training the adults in the town to use crossbows, the surrounding farmers looked around from time to time.

At first they just looked at it furtively, and when they found that no one cared, some people asked if they could learn.

After learning that only residents in the town can learn it, some farmers actually went to the town to buy a house and settle down.

Farmers think very simple. Now that they are rich and have no shortage of food, salt and sugar, they are considered "rich" among ordinary people. How can they protect themselves if they encounter thieves and bandits?Especially the middle-aged men in the village are almost all doing business outside, and now the farmers in the nearby villages are mostly old people, women and children.

The men who remained were either small and frail, suffering from chronic diseases, or disabled.

They can see that crossbows require less physical strength than bows and arrows. Even a child can use a crossbow as long as he is strong enough.

You don't need that much arm strength. Even if you are an adult male, if you want to deal a substantial blow to the enemy, you have to be able to pull the string that ordinary people can hardly pull.

When they had no property before, they never thought of the need to protect themselves.

Now that they have property and saw the people in the town training, they immediately thought of themselves. Anyway, the town is not far from home, and now the family does not lack the money to buy a house in the town. Since they moved to the town It's safer, then move on.

Ye Zhou didn't stop him. On the one hand, he hoped that the people in the town could protect him. On the other hand, he didn't feel that the town belonged to him—he was destined to leave, and the town would still be managed by the residents themselves , to absorb newcomers by themselves.

As for the final result, Ye Zhou can't see that far, but he hopes that at least in this town, people can live in peace.

The dilapidated houses in the town were also renovated.

The newly reclaimed wasteland nearby also has the prototype of a field, and the weeds and gravel in the field have been cleaned up.

Originally, Ye Zhou was worried that there would be conflicts due to too many different races in the town. As a result, there were more and more people in the town, but there was no conflict broke out, and there was no physical conflict. Although there were occasional quarrels, they were very slight.

After thinking about it, Ye Zhou understood that there is no one race that dominates this town.

Because they are unfamiliar with each other, they can maintain a balance. Farmers are also in a position of being despised and bullied in the human race in this era. They will not take the initiative to find trouble because of inertia.

After the human race also joined the training, the atmosphere in the town became even better.

Ye Zhou could occasionally see humans and dwarves go to the open space for training together, and he could also see them go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables and chop firewood together.

Slowly, the business of Yezhou Supermarket improved.

It may be because the residents are used to the giant supermarket next to them and have been trained by the people in the supermarket, so they are bolder, but the most they buy in the supermarket is salt.

"Going out!" The dwarf stood at the bottom of the steps. His shoes didn't fit well, but he didn't want to put the crossbow in his hand on the ground. He looked around until he saw a companion coming out of the house. Then he said quickly , "Come and help me get it."

After the companion walked down the steps and took the crossbow in his hand, the dwarf squatted down and tightened his shoelaces.

After tying his shoelaces, the dwarf stood up and took his own crossbow dearly.

He gripped the crossbow tightly, with a smile on his face.

The race that hunts in the mountains knows the benefits of crossbows better. They have only practiced for three days, and many of them have already got their heads right.

They don't need to use any strength themselves, they just need to press the mechanism to shoot arrows and nail them into the tree trunk, which is impossible for ordinary bows and crossbows.

If he was still in the mountains, with such a crossbow, even if he encountered a large beast, he might have a chance to give it a try.

With good aim, even large beasts might become prey.

"I heard that Zou will not come today." The companion and the dwarf trotted to keep up with the "big troop" ahead.

"It seems to be Kelly." A female dwarf in front turned her head and said.

Half of the adults of the dwarves go hunting, and half of the adults are divided into two groups for farming and training, so every adult must be used, regardless of gender.

The humans who came to train were all adult men, and even if two of them were physically disabled, none of them were women to participate in the training.

The dwarves walked ahead, looking back at the humans from time to time.

"There are only a few of them." The dwarf was a little dissatisfied, "If they are really in danger, it's not us who protect them."

"Yes." The companion pouted, "There are not so few of them, but these are the few."

The female dwarf in front also turned her head and took a look, she whispered: "There really is a time, just leave them alone."

The dwarves came to an agreement, and they did not look back, but walked out of the city.

The training place is less than 2000 meters away from the town, and the target is provided by Ye Zhou, but both the crossbow and the target have to be charged, but this fee will be drawn from the profit of the branch in the future, and the current townspeople cannot afford this money.

After arriving at the venue, the townspeople lined up naturally, from front to back and from left to right according to height.

Although the crossbow is mainly used for training, daily physical training should not be neglected.

They have to run on the field first, loosen their muscles and bones, and then they will train.

Feng Ling, who was standing not far away, was a little nervous—her crossbow was average, but this morning Ham brought over a dozen carts of boxes, and no one in the supermarket had time to come to train, including Zou Ming, so today She can only come over to replace the shift.

After all, her marksmanship is not as good as Cao'er's, but the other marksmanship in the supermarket is not very good, and the crossbow is not very good, so she can only do it first.

Hamm brought three times as many guys this time than last time.

Close to 200 people.

Although it looked like he brought money to pay, Ye Zhou didn't let go of his guard.

The merchants here are not just merchants. There is no complete and strict law here, and there is no monitoring. If Ham wants to get what he wants without spending money, it is not too beyond Ye Zhou's expectations.

So this time, Ye Zhou's employees all had guns on their waists.

Ye Zhou didn't bring it himself, but Zou Ming and Chen Shu followed behind him, within three steps of Ye Zhou.

When Ham jumped out of the carriage, what he saw was Ye Zhou standing at the gate of the town to "greet" him.

"You're still here to pick me up." Hamm walked up to Ye Zhou with a smile.

His fleshy face looked extraordinarily gentle.

Ye Zhou glanced at the people behind Ham.

The people Hamm brought last time barely looked like buddies, but this time the people he brought were all like outlaws.

Each of them is muscular and tall, and there is not even one about 1.7 meters in sight.

They are all around 1.8 meters in height, and there are even two tallest, maybe 1.9 meters.

This kind of height is too rare, probably because there is not enough food and nutrition. Most of the male farmers living in the vicinity are between 1.6 and 1.7 meters tall. Occasionally, you can see a few who are about 1.6 meters tall.

The height of women is also mostly between 1.5 meters and 1.6 meters five.

Chen Shu looked like a giant among the local women.

Ye Zhou sighed inwardly.

Up to now, he has no mood swings about this kind of thing.

Ham didn't go into the supermarket this time. He said to Ye Zhou, "I'll still live in the house before. If they want you to arrange it, the house shouldn't be bad."

Ye Zhou also smiled and asked, "Have you brought enough money, Mr. Ham?"

Ham looked into Ye Zhou's eyes: "Of course, otherwise I wouldn't come here."

"The way here is not easy." Hamm looked a little tired, "I have to go to rest first, we'll talk in the evening."

Ye Zhou didn't stop him, he personally sent Ham to the door of the small building.

"Mr. Harm, take a good rest." Ye Zhou reminded vaguely, "I will make arrangements for your buddy."

Hamm yawned: "I'm sorry to trouble you."

Ye Zhou watched Ham enter the door, and it wasn't until Ham entered the door that Ye Zhou's face turned cold. The moment he turned around, Chen Shu couldn't wait to ask: "Boss, he brought so many people this time. Are you trying to attack us?"

"It should be a deterrent." Ye Zhou smiled, "He may not dare to do it directly."

Zou Ming: "He probably wants more than just a lamp."

Ye Zhou nodded, and while walking towards the supermarket, he said softly, "I guess the more I think about it when I go back, the more angry I get, and I feel like I've lost money."

Zou Ming turned his head and glanced at the Ham guys who were taken away by Wu Yan and the others. He asked, "When the time comes, do you want to keep alive?"

Ye Zhou's tone was steady: "It depends on the situation, if there is a fight, don't stay."

"But if you can't fight, it's best not to fight. There are so many people in the town now, you may be accidentally injured."

"We'll find out at night."

Wu Yan, Zhou Wen, and Cao'er took the group of guys to the house that had been arranged long ago. I don't know what this house was used for before. It was very big. From the dilapidated furnishings, we can see the luxury of the place. To some extent, it may be a place for banquets.

But because it is big enough, it can be used to accommodate so many people after being repaired.

But these "folks" did not show surprise after entering the house, as if it was not the first time they had seen such a house and furnishings.

Wu Yan was a little suspicious. After leading the people into the hall, he and Zhou Wencao'er looked at each other separately.

The three of them understood each other's meaning from each other's eyes.

"You can tell us whatever you need." Wu Yan walked up to the leader man. He was half a head shorter and not as strong as the other party. The two stood together like an adult and a child.

The man nodded, Wu Yan backed away with a smile neither humble nor overbearing, and Zhou Wencao'er was about to leave.

Just when they were about to leave the room, the man suddenly said, "That woman, stay here."

The three of Wu Yan immediately turned to look at the man.

The smile on Wu Yan's face faded, he looked up into the man's eyes: "I didn't hear clearly, can you say it again?"

Cao'er and Zhou Wen touched the guns on their waists.
