Chapter 31 Territory development is booming
Cao Xing put away the contents of [Tong Guangrong’s Reliquary Box] directly.
Then, he looked at everyone and said, “Okay, now let’s hurry up and return to the territory.”
Follow the route you came from and head towards the camp.
It took them almost two hours to come back this time.
There is no way, if there are more people, the traveling speed will be slowed down.
In fact, it was Cao Xing and the others who slowed down Assam and Andrew.
One of them rides a frost wolf, and the other moves forward on four legs. Their moving speed on the snow can reach at least thirty kilometers per hour.
As for Cao Xing and the others, a speed of five kilometers per hour is considered pretty good.
Speed in the snow is also a big issue.
Cao Xing thought to himself: “Is there any way to speed up the movement of the snow?”
In his mind, he began to recall his experience playing the game.
After a while, Cao Xing thought: “At present, it seems that there are two ways to speed up the movement of snow.”
“The first one is to tame those wild creatures and make them mounts. The more powerful the creatures, the faster they will move forward in the snow.”
“The second method is to develop technology, click on the [Technology Research Institute] as soon as possible, and then use the drawings to build snow bikes, motorcycles, transport vehicles, etc.”
Yes, you heard it right.
In the middle of this game, it is possible to build various technologies.
In addition to these vehicles, Cao Xing also built the first helicopter after spending 448 days in the game.
This is also the longest save he has ever played.
In short, this world is a real world, full of infinite possibilities.
…
…
When Cao Xing and the others returned to their territory, it was almost dark.
Cao Xing raised his head and glanced at the time above his head.
[The time until night falls: 0 hours and 50 minutes…]
[Novice protection period remaining: 3 days at 12 o’clock…]
The survivors are coming to the end of their third day of exploration.
The group of polar people, Dahua and the others also saw this massive group of people.
Dahua exclaimed in surprise after seeing those familiar faces.
“Oh God! You are really back.”
She flew over excitedly, and the two sides began to communicate like they were dealing with the aftermath of a disaster.
At this time, Da Zhuang also held a hammer and came to Cao Xing.
“Lord, the bonfire has been upgraded successfully, and your lord’s cabin is also being upgraded at an accelerated pace.”
Cao Xing nodded, then looked towards the center of the camp, where the blazing bonfire was.
[Camp Fire: Level 5]
[Bonfire effect: It can increase the temperature by 10~20℃ in an area with a radius of 160 meters]
[Consumption]: 10 minutes/4 wood or 25 minutes/2 coal.
[Materials required for the next level]: Stone * 60, wood * 40, iron * 20. Under the burning of the flames, the surrounding ground covered with ice and snow was gradually revealed.
Only on these grounds can more buildings be built and various crops grown.
Therefore, the level of the bonfire determines the area of your territory.
However, when the campfire is upgraded to an energy tower later, the heating range alone can reach the area of a city.
The survivors develop their territory by constantly building various buildings.
You may even have your own city in the future.
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction and said, “Dazhuang, you did a good job.”
“Next, you take five and six heroes and continue to collect resources.”
“Focus on collecting that coal mine. After the campfire is upgraded, it will consume a lot of coal. We need to ensure the heating of the camp.”
The polar man suddenly straightened his body and said respectfully: “Yes, respected lord!”
Then, he took the time to get to work.
Cao Xing called Er Zhuang over again, “Er Zhuang, you take seven and eight strong men and hurry up to build more [small shelters], [canteens], etc., and try to complete them before dark.”
“Let our new members have a place to eat and sleep.”
“Yes, Lord Lord!”
Er Zhuang also received the order and went to work with his people.
The three strong men with beards came to Cao Xing.
“Three strong ones, you don’t need to build too many things. You just need to take the four strong ones to build a [Basic Elemental Arrow Tower] before dark.”
Sanzhuang also said respectfully: “Promise to complete the task, respected lord.”
For a time, those polar people were busy again.
At this moment, the newly joined group of humans had also ended their communication.
They saw the polar men working in the camp, and the slightly older Cao Yi’s eyes moved slightly.
Cao Yi quickly came over with other refugees, and then said respectfully: “Lord, please give us more tasks.”
Cao Xing nodded, “Don’t worry, I know you haven’t eaten for several days.”
“Before you work, you should also fill your stomach first.”
This group of newly joined citizens looked at each other and saw surprise and relief in each other’s eyes.
It seemed like this was the first time they had encountered such a considerate lord.
Cao Xing continued: “But there is no canteen now. You guys need to eat some bread to deal with it first.”
Cao Xing glanced at Liu Muxue next to him.
Liu Muxue understood and took out a dozen loaves of bread from the territory’s resources.
She gave each new member of the territory two pieces.
At this moment, Cao Yi, Sihua and the others looked at the bread in their hands, with tears in their eyes, and their hearts were extremely moved.
Then, they all knelt down.
“Thank you to the kind and generous lord!”
“Thank you to the beautiful and kind-hearted Second Lord!”
The next moment, many system prompts appeared in the ears of Cao Xing and Liu Muxue.
[Due to your generosity, the loyalty of territory member ‘Cao Yi’ has been improved, and the current loyalty is 80]
[Due to your generous charity, the loyalty of territory member “Sihua” has been improved, and the current loyalty is 78]
【Because of you…】
As this wave continues, the new group of refugees will all increase their loyalty by 5 to 10 points.
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.
Tong Chuchu and Xia Yanni on the side looked at the white bread in the hands of the leaders and swallowed.
They had been hungry for a while and were equally hungry for food.
Cao Xing took out four pieces of bread from the territory’s resources and handed them to Xia Yanni.
“Let’s eat something first.”
The tall woman bent down slightly, reached out to take the bread, and then said gratefully: “Thank you… thank you…”
Tong Chuchu on the side also said with an innocent smile on his face: “Thank you, big brother.”
Cao Xing smiled.
After they finished eating the bread, everyone’s satiety level also increased.
At this time, Cao Xing said slowly: “Cao Yi.”
Cao Dun immediately replied: “Lord, my subordinates are here.”
Cao Xing: “Next, the group of people you brought will be handed over to your command.”
“Your next task is to continue to upgrade the bonfire and collect resources.”
“Wood and stones all need to be collected. With extra manpower available, we can help Da Zhuang and the others build some basic buildings.”
Cao Yi nodded quickly, “My subordinates take orders!”
Then, Cao Xing looked at Dahua again.
“Dahua, I will give you this batch of wheat seeds. You and someone can find a place near the territory to cultivate a field, and then plant this batch of wheat.”
The big flower with cold white skin took the seeds from Cao Xing’s hand and stroked it gently.
“This is the best wheat seed. It will definitely grow a batch of high-quality wheat…”
She nodded and said: “Lord, I will complete the tasks assigned by you.”
Then, this new group of territorial residents also started to get busy.
Cao Xing looked at the bustling scene in the territory and nodded with satisfaction.
His territory grew from a small bonfire to gradually having so many citizens and building more and more buildings.
This is the joy of farming! …
