Chapter 383 New Base Completed
During this month, Lan Shiruo didn't ask anyone to do anything. She just focused on fattening up. Only after she was fattened up could she float in the dark wetland forest.
Apart from fattening up, the other thing is to prepare food. It is inconvenient in the wetland forest because there are too many people and it is impractical to make a fire and cook. No one wants to move when they are tired. If they encounter some danger, who would bother to prepare food?
Anyway, the space has been spread out. No matter what they do, whether it is true or false, some people will always think it is true and go crazy about it.
If you can't hide it, why not reveal a little bit openly? It can make you feel more relaxed and create another illusion, making it difficult for the enemy to grasp or understand.
Therefore, there is no need to hide the fact that the space can keep warm and fresh from the friends in Shicheng who have been through life and death together. Even the knowledge of growing and raising living things has spread. This little thing is really nothing.
To this end, let everyone prepare as much food as possible, and just take it when eating, which is convenient and saves trouble.
Another half month has passed, the weather is clear and everything is going well. It is a good day to move.
Each person carried a small bag containing necessary medicines and weapons, and took their own animals with them and began to migrate.
Everything else, whether it was a house, a blade of grass, or even a stone, was taken away by Lan Shiruo and her family of three, leaving nothing behind.
The stone slabs made from the fortresses and stone houses that had been built before, the stone slabs used for wall construction, and the stones used for paving the road were all taken away, and a lot of broken stones were also taken away.
These things will be very necessary after arriving at the new base.
On the way, they also planned to get some trees from the wetland forest, especially coconut trees, and plant them in several rows along the coastline, which would provide both defense and food, killing two birds with one stone.
The procession of tens of thousands was immense, stretching up the mountain steps like a long, endless dragon. They rushed forward with hope and joy, without fear of the unknown. Everything seemed thriving, even in this apocalyptic world where destruction and bloodshed were the norm.
At this time, it is already the fourth year of the apocalypse. The earthquakes are about to end, and new environmental disasters will come.
The people of Shicheng had been floating in the wetland forest for more than three months. The moment they came out of the forest, yellow sand hit their faces, and everyone quickly put on the masks they had prepared long ago.
When they started preparing, they didn't know why, but now they realize that the bosses were so far-sighted.
The strait was destroyed by the Dragon and Phoenix Team, and the underwater volcano erupted, causing many changes in the situation around the coastline.
The cliffs, shoals and reefs that used to be behind the forest are now submerged by sea water, large enough for ships weighing several tons to navigate.
Ao Chengyi took out a cruise ship and took tens of thousands of people to the new base. The journey was peaceful. After being accustomed to seeing stones and running in the dense forest for several months, the people couldn't help but take a deep breath of the fishy sea breeze. It felt quite good.
When everyone set foot on the former territory of City X, a new life officially began.
Lan Shiruo vacated the house so that everyone who had been working hard for several months could have a night's rest, and the next day they began to officially build the new base.
That night, even though everyone was exhausted, they still couldn't sleep. They stayed awake until dawn, fantasizing about the next day.
This is the new base. It’s so big. You can imagine how big the Stone City will be in the future.
No, it will not be called Stone City anymore. After a vote by all team members, it will be called Dragon and Phoenix City from now on.
The next day, the sky was filled with yellow sand and looked gloomy, but it did not affect everyone's enthusiasm at all.
The tasks had been distributed long ago. Those who planted trees planted trees, those who built coastline defenses built defenses, those who built houses built houses, and those who did security defenses did security defenses. Everyone did their job and worked in an orderly manner.
There is no need to rush to build a road to the outside world. Everyone is in the midst of internal turmoil and has no time to visit others.
The construction of Longfeng City was very fast. Everyone worked hard and in just one month, it had begun to take shape.
The huge characters "Dragon and Phoenix" stand on the city wall. The tall, thick and solid city walls stretch for hundreds of kilometers, more majestic than the Great Wall, and firmly protect the Dragon and Phoenix City.
Three months later, Longfeng City was completed, and the civil unrest in various parts of the world was basically settled. All forces were in their own corner, waiting for the right time to begin expanding outward.
At this time, it was the beginning of the fifth year of the apocalypse.
At this time in her previous life, Lan Shiruo was a soul, floating alone beside Ao Chengyi.
Today, she is still alive, surrounded by countless relatives and friends.
"The new distribution of forces has emerged." Lu Chaoyang projected the map onto the canvas, large enough for everyone in the conference room to see clearly.
"The entire southern coastal area is our sphere of influence, and no one else has set foot there. There are ten small and medium-sized factions in the western mountainous area, each occupying several hilltops. The eastern waters, due to their scattered terrain, are overlooked by larger factions, so they are dominated by smaller factions. Therefore, they have the largest number of factions, numbering over a hundred. The northern plains were once the preferred choice of many larger factions, leaving smaller factions unable to enter. Therefore, it is now divided among eight larger factions, including the Wei and Rong families, who have joined forces to form a single faction. As for the central region, it was severely damaged by the earthquake, forming almost isolated islands. These small islands are difficult to travel to, and the environment is harsh. Abandoned by everyone, no faction has entrenched themselves there, but there are many roaming corpses. As for the mutant beasts, they live in seclusion among the various factions and have yet to form a group."
Lan Shiruo nodded, "How is the environment?"
"The environment is far from ideal," Lu Chaoyang said. "We've been experiencing scorching heat for years, with no rain at all. Drought and water shortages are inevitable. The acid rain at the beginning of the apocalypse destroyed the surface and vegetation, and it has never recovered. Then came various natural disasters, resulting in severe global desertification, increasing sandstorms, and a sharp decline in oases. In my country, aside from our southern region, there's almost no greenery anywhere. Even in the western mountain ranges, almost all the trees have dried up and died. However, the desertification problem is less severe than in the western and northern regions. The north already suffers from water shortages, and the grasslands have degraded into sand. Even when the earthquakes began, the land was covered in yellow sand. In the eastern waters, due to high temperatures, glaciers are melting, sea levels are rising, and rivers are flooding back, causing a sharp increase in salt content. This has led to salinization of the surrounding land, leaving no grass growing and gradually turning it into desert. All forces are busy fighting for territory, food, and resources. No one is addressing land environmental issues, and the environment is continuing to deteriorate."
Everyone in the big team looked unhappy. The global environment was deteriorating and they could not remain immune. Even if they made their own territory better, they could not withstand the large-scale disaster.
But they don't have the ability to save the world now.
"Chaoyang, announce that starting tomorrow, personnel going on missions outside can form teams. No matter which direction they go, if they can trick other forces into entering Longfeng City, they will be rewarded. If they can trick a major force from the north, the reward will be doubled. However, all the forces outside are expanding, and wars are ongoing, so proceed with caution. Also, the defenders of the city must be arranged properly; we can't let them overrun our base."
"Okay, I understand."
"Sister-in-law, what are we doing?" The little friend craned his neck to look at Lan Shiruo, waiting for an answer. After staying at the base for over half a year, he felt almost rusty and miserable.
Lan Shiruo pursed her lips and thought, "We must unite all the forces that can be united."
