Cao Xing directly collected the things in Tong Guangrong's relic box.

Then, he looked at everyone and said, "Okay, now let's hurry back to the territory."

We headed towards the camp along the same route we came from.

This time it took them almost two hours.

There is no way. If there are too many people, the progress will be slowed down.

In fact, it was Cao Xing and his men who slowed down Assam and Andrew.

One of them rode a frost wolf, and the other walked on all fours. Their speed on the snow could reach at least thirty kilometers per hour.

As for Cao Xing and his friends, it was considered quite good if they could reach a speed of five kilometers per hour.

Speed ​​in the snow is also a big issue.

Cao Xing thought to himself, "Is there any way to speed up the movement on the snow?"

In his mind, he began to recall his experiences playing the game.

After a moment, Cao Xing thought: "At present, there are two ways to speed up the movement of snow."

"The first is to tame wild creatures and make them mounts. The stronger the creature, the faster it will move on the snow."

"The second method is to develop technology, open a [Technology Research Institute] as soon as possible, and then use blueprints to create snow bikes, motorcycles, transport vehicles, etc."

Yes, you heard it right.

In the middle of this game, various technologies can be built.

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 file he has ever played.

In short, this world is a real world full of infinite possibilities.

…

…

When Cao Xing and his companions returned to the territory, it was almost dark.

Cao Xing looked up at the time above his head.

[Distance until night falls: 0 hours and 50 minutes...]

[Novice protection period remaining: 3 days and 12 hours...]

The survivors are about to finish their third day of exploration.

The group of polar people, as well as Dahua and the others, also saw this huge group of people.

Dahua exclaimed in surprise when she saw those familiar faces.

"Oh my God! You guys actually came back."

She flew over excitedly, and the two sides began a conversation as if they had survived a disaster.

At this time, Da Zhuang also came to Cao Xing with a hammer.

"Lord, the bonfire has been upgraded successfully, and your lord's hut is also being upgraded at an accelerated pace."

Cao Xing nodded, then looked towards the blazing bonfire in the center of the camp.

【Campfire: Level 5】

[Campfire effect: can increase the temperature of the area within a radius of 160 meters by 10~20℃]

[Consumption]: 10 minutes/4 wood or 25 minutes/2 coal.

[Materials required for the next level]: Stone*60, Wood*40, Iron*20.

Under the scorching flames, the surrounding ground covered with ice and snow gradually became visible.

Only on these lands can more buildings be built and various crops be grown.

Therefore, the level of the campfire determines the area of ​​your territory.

However, when the campfire is upgraded to an energy tower in the later stage, the heating range alone can reach the area of ​​a city.

The survivors develop their territory by continuously constructing various buildings.

In the future you may even be able to have your own city.

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction and said, "Da Zhuang, well done."

"Next, you take your five strong and six strong men with you to continue collecting resources."

"Focus on mining that coal mine. The campfire upgrade will consume a lot of coal. We need to ensure the heating of the camp."

The polar man straightened up immediately and said respectfully, "Yes, respected lord!"

Then, I seized the time to work.

Cao Xing called Erzhuang over again, "Erzhuang, take Qizhuang and Bazhuang with you to build more [small shelters], [canteens], etc., and try to complete them before dark."

"Let our new members have somewhere to eat and sleep."

"Yes, Lord!"

Erzhuang also received the order and took his men to work.

Cao Xing continued to give orders, "San Zhuang, come here."

San Zhuang, with a full beard, came to Cao Xing's side.

"San Zhuang, you don't need to build too many things. You just need to lead Si Zhuang to build a [Primary Element Arrow Tower] before dark."

San Zhuang also said respectfully: "I promise to complete the task, respected lord."

For a moment, those polar people became busy again.

At this moment, the group of new humans have also ended their communication.

They saw the polar people working in the camp, and the slightly older Cao Yi's expression moved slightly.

Cao Yi quickly led the other refugees over and said respectfully, "Lord, please give us more tasks as well."

Cao Xing nodded, "Don't worry, I know you probably haven't eaten for several days."

"Before you start working, you need to fill your stomach first."

The group of newly joined subjects looked at each other and saw surprise and relief in each other's eyes.

It seemed that this was the first time they had encountered such a considerate lord.

Cao Xing continued, "But there is no cafeteria right now, so you can just eat some bread first."

Cao Xing glanced at Liu Muxue beside him.

Liu Muxue understood and took out a dozen breads from the territory's resources.

She gave two pieces to each new member of the territory.

At this moment, Cao Yi and Sihua were looking at the bread in their hands, tears in their eyes, and they were deeply moved.

Then, they all knelt down.

"Thank you, my gracious and generous Lord!"

"Thank you, beautiful and kind 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 the territory member 『Cao Yi』 has been increased. The current loyalty is 80.]

[Due to your generosity, the loyalty of the territory member "Four Flowers" has increased. The current loyalty is 78]

[Because of you...]

After this wave, the loyalty of this group of newly joined refugees all increased by 5 to 10 points.

Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.

Tong Chuchu and Xia Yanni, who were standing by, looked at the white bread in the hands of the people and swallowed their saliva.

They have been hungry for some time and are eager for food.

Cao Xing took out four loaves of bread from the territory resources and handed them to Xia Yanni.

"Let's eat something first."

The tall woman bent down slightly, took the bread, and said gratefully, "Thank you... Thank you..."

Tong Chuchu, who was standing by, also said with an innocent smile, "Thank you, big brother."

Cao Xing smiled.

When they finished their bread, everyone felt a little fuller.

At this time, Cao Xing slowly said, "Cao Yi."

Cao Yi immediately replied, "My Lord, I am here."

Cao Xing: "From now on, all the people you brought with you will be under your command."

"Your next task is to continue upgrading the bonfire and collecting resources."

"We need to collect wood and stones. If we have extra manpower, we can help Da Zhuang and his men build some basic structures."

Cao Yi nodded quickly, "I obey your orders!"

Then, Cao Xing looked at Dahua again.

"Dahua, I'm going to give you this batch of wheat seeds. Take someone with you and find a place near the territory to reclaim some land, and then plant this batch of wheat."

Dahua, with cold white skin, took the seeds from Cao Xing's hand and stroked them gently.

"These are excellent wheat seeds. They will definitely produce a batch of high-quality wheat..."

She nodded and said, "My Lord, I will complete the task you assigned me."

Then, this group of new residents of the territory also began to get busy.

Cao Xing looked at the bustling scene in the territory and nodded with satisfaction.

His territory started with a small campfire, and gradually grew to include so many people and more and more buildings.

This is the fun of farming!
