Li Xin investigated for a while and returned shortly afterward.
He said happily, "Fortunately, the ecosystem here is relatively stable. There are no natural disasters, but the temperature is low. We can still survive by fishing and hunting."
Little Stone said, "Doesn't Master have a lot of supplies in his personal space?"
Li Xin shook his head, gazing at the glaciers that appeared and disappeared in the north, and said, "We can't always rely on him. The things in his personal space will eventually be used up."
The little stone remained silent.
"And him?"
"The master went to the ice field, saying he wanted to take a stroll around."
Li Xin rolled his eyes: "He wasn't afraid of danger, he just went in."
"Before the master left, he told us to take good care of them and help these slaves to build the settlement first."
Li Xin nodded, wiped his cold hands, looked around and said, "There are quite a few jungle trees here. Go down and arrange their work. I'll go and help cut down a patch and direct them to move it immediately."
"good."
Li Xin vanished in a flash, and a moment later, a rumbling sound came from the distant jungle!
Little Stone stood there, not having even had a chance to descend the mountain, and clicked his tongue in amazement, "Less than a minute already..."
Vast swathes of jungle collapsed.
A large amount of timber has been cut down!
Li Xin didn't have to expend any effort to leave a logging area in the dense forest, where timber was piled up almost like a mountain.
When Little Stone and the Seven-Man Group led the slaves to carry it away, everyone was utterly shocked.
Some slaves immediately knelt down.
Li Xin sat atop the timber mountain, directing them, "What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and move it!"
Qin Che wasn't here, otherwise she could have used her extraordinary abilities to move all the timber to the mountain valley and store it there by herself.
With timber, there are houses and coals.
The river teems with fish and other freshwater creatures, and the surrounding area is sparsely populated, making it a paradise for wild animals.
The soil is unsuitable for planting, and the temperature is too low. Apart from hydroponics, planting is almost a dream.
However, Qin Che did carry a lot of supplies. When they arrived at the mountain pass, he took out all the supplies from his personal space, and they are still stored there.
He had collected large quantities of rice and starchy crops, as well as seeds, weapons, cloth, furs, and even animal carcasses, which he had hoarded after hunting. Now, these were piled up like mountains.
They only have a few thousand people.
Based on daily consumption and calculations of supplies, we can live here for about half a year.
In about six months, they will have to survive by hunting.
By that time, Leopard Court must have already sorted out the affairs in the Northern Plains, established a special zone, and begun to move north.
The sooner we arrive to meet them, the sooner we can establish a real outpost.
In that way, Qin Che can explore the ice plains without any worries.
Li Xin leaned against the top of the timber mountain, resting with his legs crossed.
Watching the slaves struggle to carry the wood, and seeing how much effort they were putting in, he couldn't help but wave his hand and use a molecular cutter to cut the wood into smaller pieces so they could move it more easily.
The jungle trees here are very tall; even if they are cut in half, they are enough for them to build houses.
Little Stone returned to the settlement in the mountain valley, directing the seven-person group to move supplies and cook.
"After we finish eating, we'll start working. First, we'll build a warehouse over there and move everything in. Remember to dig a proper tunnel for food storage."
Little Stone gave the orders in an orderly manner, but he was a little worried and wanted the master to come back soon.
They still need to plan for the mountainous area, and the construction of the village also requires a blueprint.
There are no such talents among slaves.
Most of them rely on thatch and wood to build their tents. The tribe is relatively backward, and the urban planning is chaotic.
Not long after,
The settlement was bustling with activity, but only a few wisps of smoke rose from the chimneys.
Qin Che also returned from the icy plains, his body covered in a layer of snow, but his complexion remained rosy.
Little Stone went up to him, patted the thick layer of snow off his shoulders, and asked, "Sir, were you in any danger?"
Qin Che shook his head: "There isn't a single life here, so where does the danger come from? The ground is also very hard. I moved forward for dozens of kilometers, and it was all the same scenery."
He sighed. The ice field was vast, but it was larger than he had imagined.
For dozens of kilometers straight, it was the same barren wasteland, without even a mountain. The earth was frozen, the soil underfoot was covered, and you couldn't see anything. The sky and earth merged into a white expanse. What kind of life could survive in such an environment?
No.
"Now even I'm starting to doubt... whether there are any human remains deep in this icy wasteland."
Qin Che sighed, patted the snow water off his hands, and looked towards the settlement in the mountain valley, asking, "Have they already started building houses?"
Little Stone said, "I told them to repair the warehouse first and put the supplies in there."
"Well, I'm not leaving anytime soon either. I'll go call Lao Li so we can come over and make some plans together."
Qin Che teleported away and returned shortly afterward, with Li Xin following closely behind. The two stood on a high ground at the top of the mountain, overlooking the entire valley.
"We need to dig a complete sewer system first, otherwise this place will easily flood when it rains," Li Xin said bluntly.
Qin Che nodded.
He still has a high opinion of this place.
If you walk just a few miles south, you'll find plenty of hot springs.
To the southeast lies the lower reaches of the river, while to the northeast, it connects to the extensive underground river systems beneath the ice sheet, as well as vast forests and a relatively stable ecosystem.
This place is very suitable for settling down.
