Late at night, Qi Xie and his group found themselves entangled in a giant octopus behind their house. Only then did they realize something was wrong.
"Oh my god. Will the house... even survive now..." I watched as countless slimes were being rubbed around on the outside of the house by the octopus tentacles, and some were dripping down.
They all felt a bit nauseous.
"Use a gun! It'll be better if we can save it," Feng Nangui said.
"Bang!"
"Bang! Bang!"
"Ouch! Oh my god!" Feng Ran was almost poked by a large tentacle, and quickly dodged to the side.
At the same time, the octopuses that had been shot began to forcefully squeeze the house!
"Keep going! Everyone, aim for their heads!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Pfft—" The octopus's head exploded. Blood and bits of flesh and limbs spilled all over the room.
Moreover, the structure of the house was bent by the octopus's immense pressure.
It seems that the house will be unusable without major repairs to its frame.
"You guys clean the kitchen tonight. You can live in the kitchen for now."
After Feng Ran finished speaking, she took out cleaning tools.
Qi Xie looked at the scattered limbs and fragments on the ground. She and several men first put all the filth into garbage bags, then put them in their spatial storage, and only threw them away a long way away.
Feng Ran was already cleaning the kitchen for them. The pots and pans were all put away or placed in the yard.
Then I took out the kitchen fume cleaner and sprayed it all over the house. I waited for it to dissolve for a while before I started cleaning.
The cleaning was quicker once the others joined in. Because food had been cooked in the kitchen, the smell of oil and smoke was strong.
After cleaning for more than two hours, Fengran added two more vases of flowers before finishing.
Meanwhile, everything in the other house was unusable. The bed and table were taken out and washed.
The next morning, the group woke up to find the house astonishing. It was unclear at night, but incredibly obvious during the day.
The resigned group continued cleaning, and only began repairing the house in the afternoon.
Straighten the curved parts and reinforce the cracked parts of the roof.
Anyway, we finished before dark.
The group moved back.
Because the kitchen still had a lot of cooking fumes after I stayed there overnight.
At the same time, Feng Ran had a bold idea.
She wondered what it would be like if her group built a small base...
She recruits capable people to guard the base's houses and property, and provides food and grows things.
Firstly, we will feel much more at ease living here in the future.
Secondly, it can help some normal people live.
It's quite troublesome to always keep to yourself when facing these monsters.
An annoying monster keeps popping up every now and then.
Moreover, Feng Ran thought of Gu Zhou, a man of immense strength. And Wang San San, who could make guns and ammunition.
They are all talented people.
Getting them to join isn't difficult; the problem is where to set up the address.
Furthermore, if I were to build such a base, wouldn't it be destroyed, for example, like the one above...?
That evening, Feng Ran told the others about the situation, and they all had no objections.
Aside from Li Luo being a bit annoying, the others were fairly supportive.
The next day, Wang San San came over, and Feng Ran told him about the situation again. Wang San San immediately became excited.
"If it's true, that's great! I know where to choose the address!"
On the opposite side of our mountain, about halfway up, there's a very large, steep slope, but the gradient is quite gentle. If we pad the steeper sections, it will be perfectly fine.
Moreover, the area is estimated to be over twenty acres.
If you think the area is too small, we can cut down trees and clear some land in all directions, and it will be even bigger.
Most importantly, the water source for my cave comes from that cave!
Because the water in the cave is almost gone, we've been searching for the source of the underground river.
We finally found it. I thought, if you hadn't come back, we might have moved there too.
"...Okay, we'll go take a look later."
"Alright, Wang will take you there."
Feng Ran and Wang San San went ahead. Qi Xie and the others caught up with them after they had taken over the house.
We walked for more than an hour along the mountain road before we finally saw the place.
The slope is indeed steep, and it's all gravel. It might not be suitable for growing normal crops, but it should be able to grow some melons and fruits.
And the area is indeed quite large.
Wang Sansan then took her to see the water source, which was hidden inside several large rocks. The entrance to the cave was about 70 centimeters wide and about one meter high.
The group went inside, and surprisingly, they found themselves in a completely different world!
The first thing you see is a small river with small fish in it. And the water is crystal clear.
It's been so hot for so long, and there's still such a place; it's truly amazing!
Feng Ran and the others tested the river water; their hands felt cool as they dipped them in. Since there were small fish in the river, the water quality was fine. They tasted it and found it to be sweet, similar to spring water.
“Not bad!” Feng Ran said.
The others nodded in agreement.
"Have you found the source of the river?" Feng Ran asked Wang San San.
"No. We found this place. This cave is relatively small, but the river is much larger. And the water volume is much greater than at my house!"
"That's fine. Go back and move. What did you say about the Gu family?"
"...Take him with you. Gu Zhou's strength is not to be underestimated. As long as we don't let him come into contact with guns and ammunition, we'll be fine. Besides, he has a wife, children, and mother-in-law, so he's relatively easy to control. He shouldn't do anything wrong."
“Okay. We’ll use this cave as the center. You and the Gu family can each occupy one side to build the house.”
We will live in the wooded area behind the mountains. It will be some distance from you.
