Xu Lin and the others were alright, because Shuke and Beta were there. Anyone who wanted to get close to their car would think about the consequences of being torn to shreds by the dogs.
As the number of people traveling together dwindled, Xu Lin worried that one day only a few of them would remain, which would be dangerous. Therefore, Zhou Pin and Sun Wei would enthusiastically help repair any cars that broke down, quickly gaining popularity.
Due to the weather, their marching speed slowed down, and they could only travel seventy or eighty li a day, but this was still much better than the foot soldiers following behind.
It is said that the main force now has only about 10,000 men left, even after many people were added to the ranks.
Xu Lin looked at the perpetual calendar in her space. It was already winter of the fourth year of the apocalypse, and there was only one month left until the New Year. If everything went smoothly, she should be able to reach her new habitat before the New Year.
After about ten more days of travel and three vehicles breaking down, the base announced that they would reach their new habitat in two more days, instantly revitalizing everyone's spirits.
The base's vanguard has reached the target location. It is said that the vegetation there is quite abundant, and there are still many green plants in this season. Grandma Wu and Sun Wei felt relieved.
Yes, after traveling for more than two months, what's the point of going all this way if the new habitat isn't as good as the base?
The next two days passed smoothly. Although the road was bumpy, it didn't require manual clearing, and the cars managed to bounce and hop through. Finally, on the evening of the last day, everyone arrived, and many people cried.
At night, everyone set up camp or slept in their cars, and only began preparing to build their homes the next day.
Many people were so excited they couldn't sleep, and they could hear whispers all night long.
The next day, people got up and started working before dawn. The base had already sent people over to divide the land into planting areas, breeding areas, residential areas, and so on.
Xu Lin and the others had already made an agreement with the base beforehand. Although they would be traveling with the base, they would be independent individuals and not subject to the base's control.
Therefore, when the base was taking stock of the number of people and assigning jobs, Xu Lin and the others used their points to exchange for two plots of land for building houses.
Building a house couldn't be done by Xu Lin and her friends alone, but they have a knack for it.
Xu Lin had discussed with Zhou Pin how to build the house on the way. She had a lot of blueprints in her space, which she had casually picked up at an architectural design institute when she was searching for supplies. It was perfect to use them as a reference for the new home.
She even copied a few house blueprints suitable for the apocalypse and gave them to Li Jingjing, who happily accepted them.
Building materials are plentiful; Xu Lin has more than enough to build a whole residential complex. Sun Wei and the others all know that Xu Lin and Zhou Pin have a secret, and it can't be kept hidden forever. Moreover, they'll likely be living here for a long time, and Xu Lin wants to live comfortably, so providing the materials to build a house is imperative.
The land they acquired for their new homestead was quite large, about ten acres, and they also needed to build a fence. The workload was too much for just a few of them, so Xu Lin wanted to hire a few people from the site to help.
Of course, the people hired by the base can only handle tasks like cutting down trees and digging holes; the core construction work still has to be done by the few of them themselves.
Upon hearing Xu Lin's request, Minister Sun brought four people from the base that afternoon. It must be said that Minister Sun is now their liaison officer, and he has lived up to expectations, having already become very familiar with the people at the base.
