The excited cheers of the allies gradually died down, but Mou Xuan's eyes did not relax at all.
He turned to look at Chen Yao, nodded slightly, and then led everyone to the site of the base.
Qijia Village, this peaceful village before the end of the world, is about to become the fortress of the alliance.
However, when Mou Xuan and his team arrived, they saw a group of residents holding hoes and sickles, standing firmly on the designated construction site without saying a word.
"Mou Xuan, what...what's going on?" Chen Yao asked softly.
Mou Xuan took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the crowd.
He knew very well that robbery would only provoke greater resistance, and only understanding and cooperation could win people's hearts.
"Everyone listen to me!" Mou Xuan's voice was steady and powerful, echoing in the air, as if it could penetrate everyone's heart.
The villagers' eyes were focused on him, and the tense atmosphere was mixed with a hint of expectation.
"I'm Mou Xuan. I brought people here to build a safe base to protect our common home. I know you have deep feelings for this land, but please believe that our goal is the same as yours - to survive better."
The local residents of Qi looked at the young man, their hearts full of doubts and contradictions.
They originally thought that these outsiders would solve the problem with violence, but they didn't expect the other side to be so gentle.
A middle-aged man stood up. He was the village chief of Qijia Village and the representative of these residents.
"Young man, we understand your intentions, but this is the land that has been passed down to our ancestors. Aren't you afraid that we don't welcome you here?" There was a hint of questioning in the village chief's tone, but it was more of a test.
Mu Xuan did not hesitate at all, but smiled and said: "Village Chief, we are here to cooperate with you, not to confront you. If you have any concerns, we can sit down and talk slowly to find a solution that both parties can accept."
The villagers exchanged glances with each other, and the atmosphere became noticeably more relaxed.
Although the villagers of Qijia Village are stubborn, they are not stupid. They can feel Mou Xuan's sincerity.
"Okay, young man, we are willing to hear your plan." The village chief finally nodded, but there was still a hint of vigilance in his eyes.
Mou Xuan felt relieved and looked up into the distance, his eyes revealing firmness and determination.
He smiled slightly, turned his head to look at Chen Yao and other alliance members behind him, and said firmly: "This is just the beginning, and there is still a long way to go, but as long as we unite as one, there is nothing that cannot be solved."
Just then, hurried footsteps suddenly came from the distance, and Architect Shen ran over panting with an anxious look on his face.
"Mu Xuan, it's bad. There's a problem with the You resource merchant. He refuses to provide the resources we need!" Architect Shen's words were like a flash of lightning, instantly breaking the calm at the scene.
Mou Xuan's eyes instantly became sharp, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. "It seems that our troubles have just begun."
He turned to face the villagers of Qijia Village, took a deep breath, and said firmly: "Please believe us, we will solve these problems. But before that, we need your support."
There were complex expressions in the villagers' eyes, and Mou Xuan was mentally prepared to face the next challenge.
Architect Shen pointed at the crooked foundation, spitting: "That's it? You dare to take on this job with your level? My grandma can lay straighter walls than you!"
The construction worker Xu was holding a cigarette in his mouth, with an impatient look on his face: "Old Shen, your demands are too high. This is the end of the world, and we are not building a palace for you. Isn't it enough for people to live in it?"
"Can people live in it? If there's an earthquake, the first thing to collapse will be this broken thing of yours!" Architect Shen blew his beard and glared, wishing he could kick it.
"Hey, hey, hey, watch your words. Don't think you're so great just because you're an architect!" The construction worker Xu was not to be outdone. He rolled up his sleeves and looked ready for a fight.
The workers around also began to whisper, some supported Architect Shen, while others felt that what the construction worker Xu said made sense. The entire construction site was like a frying pan that was about to explode.
"Shut up!" Mou Xuan shouted loudly, like a bolt of thunder, making everyone's eardrums buzz.
He strode to the foundation and glanced around, his eyes as sharp as a knife.
"You think it's too slow?" Mou Xuan sneered and suddenly disappeared on the spot.
Before everyone could react, they saw a flash before their eyes. The originally crooked foundation actually became flat and solid at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even the cement solidified automatically!
"What the hell! What's going on?"
"Damn it! This speed is faster than an excavator!"
The workers were stunned and their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
Architect Shen rubbed his eyes as if he had seen a ghost, unable to believe what he saw.
"Now, who still thinks it's slow?" Mou Xuan dusted off his hands, his tone frighteningly calm.
The construction worker Xu was so frightened that he dropped his cigarette and stammered, unable to speak.
Architect Shen looked at Mou Xuan with admiration, his eyes flashing with fanaticism: "Boss Mou, what kind of magical skill is this!"
Mou Xuan did not explain, but smiled faintly: "Hurry up and try to complete the foundation before dark."
At this point, everyone woke up as if from a dream, picked up their tools, and threw themselves into their work with great enthusiasm.
The originally lazy construction workers now seemed to be energized and worked hard to move bricks and build walls, fearing that they would be "performed" by Mou Xuan again.
Looking at the bustling construction site, Mou Xuan's mouth corners slightly raised.
