Half a month later, Lu Chengchuan finally waited for the ten thousand people.
"Teacher, are we leaving?" Raya looked at the prepared team, she was still a little unconvinced.
Is her teacher really going to lead people to build a city?
Raya is still in shock. Half a month ago, her teacher suddenly announced he was leaving to build a city in the southwest. She didn't believe it then, and now she still feels like she's dreaming.
"Of course, everything is ready, let's go."
Tuka not only gave him 10,000 people, but also sent him an extra year's worth of food and pack animals to pull the food, so they didn't have to worry about food for a year.
However, it would take them three months to reach their destination, and they would have to find a suitable place to build a city. If the time for clearing wasteland and cultivating the land was included, a year would not be enough time.
Tens of thousands of people left the fortress city in a mighty procession. Most of them were ordinary people, with only a few having super powers.
Lu Chengchuan didn't know how to command the troops. Fortunately, there were many professional soldiers in the team who understood the rules of marching, so the team did not encounter too many problems.
A seemingly endless team slowly advanced towards the southwest. Lu Chengchuan was in the middle of the team, sitting in a car. Arriving in the wilderness, he released his mental power, constantly alert to the situation around him.
The huge team can only walk more than ten kilometers a day. They have to go more than a thousand kilometers away. At this speed, it will take three months to arrive if there are no accidents.
"Teacher, it's going to rain."
Half a month after departure, the sunny weather changed.
Thick dark clouds gathered above the team's heads, the air was shrouded in dark clouds and became very humid. After a few minutes, lightning circled in the clouds and rumbling sounds continued to sound.
Lu Chengchuan looked up, and heavy rain poured down in an instant.
The sudden downpour caused great trouble to everyone. Although everyone had put on raincoats early, the rain was so heavy that they could hardly see the road ahead, and the heavy rain made the road muddy and difficult to walk on.
"Sir, the rain is too heavy, we have to slow down!"
A super-powered person ran up and reported the current situation.
His name is Luke, a Gold-level superpower who used to be a soldier in the army. When he heard that a new city was going to be built, he decided to take a gamble.
"Captain Luke, ensure safety first and then consider travel speed."
As Lu Chengchuan was speaking, a bolt of lightning suddenly pierced the air and struck the ground several hundred meters away from the team.
Lightning struck a small hole in the ground. A few seconds later, a loud thunder sounded. The ordinary people in the team were so scared when they saw it that their legs went weak.
"Don't be afraid! Go forward slowly, comfort the beasts of burden, and don't be afraid!"
Luke shouted and ordered the soldiers to go up and calm the crowd and the beasts of burden. Under his command, the team regained stability and slowly moved forward.
“This guy is pretty good…”
Seeing Luke giving orders in an orderly manner, Lu Chengchuan was very satisfied with him.
Now is the time to use people, and a super-powered person with command ability would be a good thing for him.
A day later, the torrential rain stopped and the sun appeared in the sky again, but the road was still muddy and the team's progress was greatly slowed down.
Fortunately, after passing through the rainstorm area, the dry road allowed the team to resume their normal travel speed.
"Lord Lu Chengchuan wants to build a new city. If you are willing, you can join the team!"
On the way, Luke led the soldiers to spread the news of the establishment of a new city. This method attracted many wanderers to join the team. After more than a month of walking, the team had more than 5,000 people.
This is also one of the reasons why Tuka asked him to build a city. A city can only support a limited number of people. Many people have not committed crimes but are still expelled from the city for various reasons.
They were exiled in the wilderness, and even if some of them wanted to live in peace, they had to do many bad things in order to survive.
Wanderers are a destabilizing factor in the Human Alliance, and how to deal with them is also a difficult problem. If new cities are established and the wanderers are absorbed into them so that they can be controlled, it will also be a good thing for the Alliance.
"Teacher, with so many more people, the food won't be enough to last a year."
With half the number of people, Raya was worried that they wouldn't have enough food.
"Don't worry about these things. As long as we get there, we will find a way." Lu Chengchuan was not that worried. As long as we got there, there would always be a way to solve it.
After walking for more than a month, the team had more than 20,000 people and they arrived at their destination.
In the southwest, near the Monster Continent, there is an area of low hills, but there are also many flat areas, the land is fertile enough, and there are many wild animals and plants.
"What do you think, where should we choose to build the city?"
The location of the city has not been determined yet, and there are too many things to consider, so Lu Chengchuan simply called a meeting to discuss it with his "staff group".
"Sir, there must be a water source near the city, as well as enough arable land, and preferably minerals.
It’s impossible to make a decision in a short time, so why don’t we observe it for a while before making a decision.”
"Yes, my lord. Your city is very important. I think the location should be chosen carefully."
Everyone had just arrived and didn't know where the best place in the area was. After some discussion, they decided to survey the area and find the best location to build a city.
"I'll leave this matter to you. Give me the results as soon as possible."
More than 20,000 people had no place to stay and could only camp in the wilderness, going out every day to dig weeds and hunt. He was afraid that if he waited too long, people would lose their confidence and inevitably leave.
"yes!"
Everyone stood up and bowed their heads. After some preparation, they divided into five teams and took a group of soldiers to scout around.
During this month, the five teams traveled far away. They found high points, looked down from above, and looked for the most suitable location for building a city.
After a month, they found three suitable positions and hurried back to report to Lu Chengchuan.
"Sir, this is the map we drew."
"All three locations have water sources and large tracts of arable land. The difference is that number one is closer to the forest, number two is near mineral deposits and even a medium-sized super-energy mineral vein, and number three has the flattest terrain and the most fertile land..."
"The good news is that areas two and three are not very far apart."
Several people reported the results of their investigation. Each of the three positions had its own advantages. After reporting, everyone waited for the city lord to make a decision.
When they reported that Lu Chengchuan was sensing their emotions and mentioned that there was a super-energy mineral vein in Area No. 2, the super-powered people present couldn't help but get excited.
This is a special mineral. After being refined, super-powered people can absorb the energy inside to practice. However, the energy is not as good as monster crystals. However, for many super-powered people, it is good to be able to absorb energy.
"Choose number three. As for the mineral vein, we can assign people to dig for it."
Lu Chengchuan chose the area with the most fertile land. According to the markings on the map, areas No. 2 and No. 3 were only more than 50 kilometers apart, so it was entirely possible to send people there to mine.
"We'll get ready right away."
