Forget five jin—even fifty or five hundred.
For the Tundra Fleet, whose cabins were practically bursting under the weight of their supplies, those were all equally insignificant numbers.
"Don't keep me in suspense. If you answer well, I'll naturally give you an extra reward."
"Thank you, Boss! Thank you, sir!"
The man nodded and bowed, a trace of delight flashing across his face as he hurriedly continued.
"There are actually three main reasons why the Giant Tree Root Relay Station is so harmonious."
"First, the terrain around the Giant Tree Root Sea Area is exceptionally flat. For three hundred kilometers inland, there's nothing but plains, and hardly any suitable locations for establishing a base. So if a conflict broke out here, it would be easy for the other side to deliberately take revenge during the next migration. It simply wouldn't be worth it."
"Second, it's better to have less trouble than more. When factions fight to the death, it's mainly for resources. But the Giant Tree Root Sea Area has very few resources to plunder—the barrenness here exceeds all imagination. As for the supplies people like us have, they're all for saving our lives. They also know that if they dared take even those, what awaited them would be endless retaliation."
"Third, don't we lack guns right now? There's no one maintaining order either. Everyone uses Cold Weapons, so most of the time, the fight comes down to sheer ruthlessness. Thus, even when the gap in strength is somewhat large, few people are willing to stick their necks out and become the first target."
The explanation was logical and well-founded. After listening, Lu Yongyi nodded slightly.
The reason the stations on the sea were so chaotic was indeed related to the fact that people could flee after starting a conflict.
