Looking at this simple stronghold, Liu Mang lost interest.

Before the end of the world, this should have been a small industrial park, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the city wall was raised on the basis of the original wall.

Even if the location is good, I estimate that with such a city wall, it will not be able to withstand mutant beasts above level five.

After a quick scan with his spiritual sense, he found that there were still quite a few people inside, and most of them were women, with men making up only a minority. The total population here was probably only about eight or nine hundred, and men accounted for only about one-tenth of it.

The guards on the city wall shouted excitedly when they saw their group clearly.

"Open the door, open the door quickly, it's the eldest sister, the third sister and the others who are back!"

After a while, the heavy iron door slowly opened.

Then a group of men and women walked out, led by a beautiful woman who still had some charm and was pretty.

Coming forward with her was a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, who looked very gentle.

"Qingya, you are finally back. I was worried about everyone." The beautiful woman said happily.

"By the way, did you find Xiaoqing?"

"Second sister! We are here."

Xu Qing and Jiuer walked forward and happily gave the beautiful woman a hug.

"Phew! You two little girls, you worried me to death. If anything happened to you, how would I explain to your dead parents?"

As she spoke, the beautiful woman's eyes turned red and she touched the two women's heads.

At this time, the middle-aged man beside him smiled gently and said, "Second Master, they are all back, so stop saying those discouraging words."

"By the way, Boss, you guys are back just in time. Everyone is waiting for you to come back and preside over the meeting...Huh?"

Only then did the middle-aged man see the group of women and children behind him, and there was even a man holding a child, who looked clean and handsome. He immediately felt uncomfortable.

"These are..."

"These are the survivors found by my second sister. Do you have any objections?"

The person who answered was the woman next to Xiao Qingya.

"Oh my! Big Boss, we don't have enough food in our base to begin with, and now there are more than a dozen mouths to feed. Doesn't this require more than our original rations?"

"I don't mean anything else, I'm just worried that people will have resentment."

"Bah! Qin Tianyang, it's none of your business what Big Sister wants to do."

"You really think you're such a big shot! If you didn't know how to grow food, do you think you could get into our base?"

The middle-aged man's face suddenly darkened.

He glanced at the smiling Liu Mang behind him, and felt even more angry.

However, he quickly restrained himself.

"Haha! Yes, yes, of course we listen to the boss here."

Xiao Qingya just gave him a cold look and led everyone into the stronghold.

When we entered the stronghold, we saw not many buildings. However, we knew without a doubt that they had been dismantled into materials and used to build the city wall.

There are only three buildings with four or five floors left, arranged in a triangular shape and standing in the center of the stronghold.

The open space around was covered with a large patch of plants with green stems and leaves and black fruits. No one knew what they were.

Some men and women were working in the fields, using their special powers to stimulate vegetation growth, while others were picking black fruits.

It turns out that these plants are stimulated by the wood-related ability, which allows the vegetation to grow rapidly and then be picked.

If I'm right, they ate scones made from these fruits yesterday.

Liu Mang understood it all at once.

I saw that they had a clear division of labor and were well organized.

Liu Mang had a higher opinion of the cold Xiao Qingya.

The group entered the middle building, which was a cafeteria.

There are already many people sitting here.

Liu Mang and the other newcomers didn't know whether they should go in, so they just stopped at the door and didn't follow in.

But what surprised Liu Mang was that these children called him brother and followed him, which was understandable, but these teachers and Mu Qingxue and the others also followed Liu Mang closely.

When Liu Mang stopped, they stopped too; when Liu Mang walked, they followed him.

Even the young woman who was bending over to weed in the field, whom Liu Mang had just secretly looked at, followed Liu Mang's gaze.

Only after seeing the two bright white headlights did the girls blush and look away.

These women all have good vision. They know that only by following Benhao can they have food and clothing. Liu Mang could only sigh like this.

After a while, I heard a commotion in the cafeteria.

Not long after, Xu Qing walked out angrily.

"Master Hao, you may have to work hard for a few days. Please squeeze into my and Jiu'er's room first."

"But don't worry, I will build a house for you in the next few days."

Oh! So there's no place to live. I thought I was not welcome!

Liu Mang felt that Xu Qing was not only beautiful and had a good figure, but also a good person, and did not waste the roasted chicken butt given to her.

Liu Mang didn't make things difficult for her and said casually, "That's not necessary. Just give me a piece of land and I can build it myself. It won't take more than a day."

"real?"

"I don't have to lie to you!"

Xu Qing thought so too, and then he said, "Okay, if you need anything, remember to tell me and I'll try my best to find it for you."

Xiao Qingya also came out, looked at Liu Mang with an apologetic look, nodded to Liu Mang, and left.

"Huh? What's going on?"

"Hmph! It's that group of men again. They actually put pressure on Big Sister, saying that our base carries the future of mankind, and that with the limited resources in the base, we must make women pregnant...with children!" Xu Qing's voice became smaller and smaller as he spoke, his face still flushed.
