The choices made by the three were not unexpected by the thug.
Seeing the three reveal ingratiating expressions, the thug couldn't help but laugh: "Alright, since you want to survive, Alerman definitely won't give up on you three. After all, when arriving at a new place, you old folks are always more handy."
Alerman is the name of the Barbarians, or rather, the respectful title for the Barbarians from the people around here.
The thug said nothing else and instead took a stack of money from his backpack and threw it to the three: "You three wait here for a while and move some supplies downstairs. For the next few days, just wait on the plateau. Alerman has tasks for you, don't think about running after getting the stuff. We are all being watched now. As soon as the cameras capture your faces in Hua Country, you won't be able to escape. Understand?"
The three nodded, with lowered eyes.
