Chapter 182 Arriving at Stone City

At one point, the little friend thought he was hallucinating, or that the monkey was a person?

Whether you are a human or a monkey, get out first.

Everyone is unhappy with this place, so let’s start from here.

A grenade was thrown in, dyeing the water red. Screams rang out, and fog followed closely behind.

Someone shouted, "Help, help!"

What responded to him were a series of explosions and screams.

The fog made it impossible for anyone to see what was happening, and a huge fear of death loomed over their heads.

"If you want to live, pick up everything you can and resist." This sentence aroused the blood of the enslaved people, and they wanted to live.

No matter what is at hand, it is all thrown at the enemy with a roar.

Feng Tao's fog covered the entire border town. The coverage area was wide, but it was not too thick and you could see clearly within half a meter.

The person who was immersed in the beautiful dream was smashed into a bloody mess and was immersed in the dream forever.

Those who were staggering from drinking took up weapons and wanted to smash the people who were worse than animals they were exploiting, but their hands and feet were weak and they were crushed into pieces.

The woman who was pinned down by the man suddenly showed her sharp claws and gouged out the man's eyeballs. Looking at the man screaming in pain on the ground, the woman laughed with tears in her eyes.

The skinny man looked coldly at the jackals, tigers and leopards rushing towards him, raised his sharp wooden stick, pierced his own body, and then pierced the enemy's body, dying together. After being suppressed for so long, he could finally die without regrets.

The smell of blood spread quickly, and the fighting continued for a long time. The large group stood in the dark and did not participate. This was a war for the people of the Dashan tribe to stand up again.

The men were roaring and the women were crying. After the thick fog dissipated, the entire border town became a purgatory and the beginning of a rosy glow appeared.

The main group had already left, and they returned to the foot of the mountain with the seven brothers. They saw clearly that the monkeys were real monkeys, seven of them for the seven brothers, a coincidental one-on-one contract. The small golden monkeys had all evolved in power. They had been frightened by their previous capture and were nestling with their new owner for comfort.

Hundreds of people were rescued, including Sa Bing's people and people from other ethnic groups. After surviving the disaster, they were filled with sadness and confusion.

"Is everyone here?" Lan Shiruo asked.

"Well, all the living people of our tribe are here. There are also some people from other tribes. Some others have not been taken away. They are still in the border town. Do you want to bring them here?"

"No need," Lan Shiruo said. The mountain pressing down on them had already collapsed. Life or death depended entirely on the individual; no one else could help. "Go ask everyone. Those who are willing to come with us can get on the bus now. Those who don't want to stay won't be forced to stay. We'll only stay for an hour. The bloody smell in the border town will soon dissipate."

"Okay." Sa Bing walked into the crowd and conveyed Lan Shiruo's meaning.

Everyone was very confused. They were afraid that Lan Shiruo and her gang would be another disaster, but if they stayed, they didn't know what to do next.

However, all the people in the Sabing tribe were willing to leave with them. They believed in Sabing and his seven companions. Since they were following, there would naturally be no problem. Besides, people of the same tribe should stay together.

An hour passed quickly. In the end, apart from the Sabing people, there were only a dozen people from other tribes who left. No one was rejected and no one was persuaded to stay. There were nearly a hundred people in total. Lan Shiruo took out two buses, let them sit together, and simply left.

The people who stayed where they were watched the car disappear and suddenly began to regret it.

This place is not far from Shicheng in City D. If we travel at full speed, it will take at most three days.

There were too many people, so Lan Shiruo did not allow them to stop halfway or wash up, and they had to wait until they reached Shicheng to rest.

The new members were very nervous, and no matter how many times Sa Bing and the other seven tried to comfort them, it was of no use.

If Lan Shiruo didn't explain, it would be considered a warning.

After all, there are so many people, and when there are more people, people tend to have more thoughts. They don’t know how to cherish things that are too easy to get. Exposing them to the sun can also scare them a little.

The people in the big team naturally supported it and did their own things, leaving everyone to Sa Bing and the other seven. If they really couldn't handle it, they would let Kong Fenglin go. Anyway, these people would be under Kong Fenglin's management in the future, so they could prepare in advance.

After three days, when hundreds of tribesmen had lost half their lives, they finally arrived at Stone City.

As the name suggests, all you see in other places are black scorched forests, but all you see here are piles of gray and yellow rocks.

There were only a few rotten corpses, and nothing else.

Shicheng is comparable to Biancheng, and they are about the same size. It is a small county town that can accommodate no more than 30,000 people. Usually, young people work outside, and only some elderly people who guard their hometown stay behind. There are less than 10,000 people living here permanently.

Walking into the Stone City, you will find it very distinctive. The houses here are all built with large stone bars, which are extremely sturdy, but not beautiful, and cannot be piled too high. The highest building here has only three floors.

The house looked dull and dim, the small green tiles on the roof mostly crumbled, and many of the beams had been removed, leaving only the bare square stone walls.

The team narrowed their eyes. Is there anyone else here? The thought flashed through their mind, but they didn't investigate further.

The ground is paved with bluestone slabs, which has an ancient charm.

Across the main street of the small county town is a small canyon, not long, about a hundred meters, followed by a large flat valley, which is their destination this time.

The entire Shicheng is like a gourd, divided into two parts. The upper part is the county seat, the canyon is the waist, and the lower part is the valley where the people of Shicheng mine stones, which is the destination of this trip.

The valley was more than three times the size of the county seat, and could easily hold a hundred thousand people. The terrain was flat, and except for a small canyon leading in and out, it was entirely covered with cliffs so high that not even a bare bird could stand on them.

Across the three large mountains opposite the canyon is the wetland forest, which is their retreat.

It was already mid-afternoon when they arrived here. Lan Shiruo directly took out dozens of containers and laid out a large bunk bed, allowing everyone to rest there for a night. After a simple meal, they would make plans the next morning.

Everyone was shaking in the car for three days, their bones were almost falling apart, and they fell asleep immediately.

Lan Shiruo called together the ten members of the large team, Kong Fenglin, Xia Xun, Ding Yibing, the seven brothers, Fang Dengwen, Ruan Kui, Cui Zipeng, and four middle-aged men to discuss matters.

"This place will be our base for a long time to come. For both safety and comfort, we have to make some preparations. I called you here to discuss the next arrangements."

Everyone in the group, young and old, listened attentively.

"First, safety. This is the top priority and can be divided into several points. Sa Bing, take a few of your brothers and find people to dig pits at least 100 meters deep at the foot of the mountains on all sides, and the width must not be less than 100 meters. This is to prevent rocks from rolling down in the event of an earthquake or other geological disaster. Can you do it?" The global earthquake period is approaching, and there are rocks on all sides, so we have to be on guard.

The seven brothers nodded seriously, "It's possible."

"You can discuss how to do it yourselves. If you need people, go and pick one from the team. If you need anything, tell me. Be careful. There are other safety measures like this that you can take care of yourself. If you don't understand, find a professional. I think Zipeng's father is an engineer, so he should be good at this. If you understand, you can go and ask him."

Cui Zipeng also nodded. "My dad used to design and build bridges and roads, so it should be no problem."

The seven brothers expressed their understanding.

Lan Shiruo added, "After we finish inside, we also need to build the road outside. The county town is a barrier and cannot be ignored. If we have the energy, we can work on both sides at the same time. At the entrance of the county town, build a city wall gate. Xia Xun, that place is yours."

Summer training that was suddenly called out

It took him a while to react. Was he supposed to be the goalkeeper? Keep guarding? Could he be replaced?

Dozens of eyes were looking at him. What do you think?

Well, no.

Lan Shiruo said seriously, "I won't tell you how important your position is. As long as you remember the lesson from the mutant fish that came ashore, it depends on you whether we are caught in the trap or we can intercept the enemy thousands of miles away."

Xia Xun collected his thoughts and nodded seriously, "I will definitely keep it safe, don't worry."
