Teams of people began to get busy.
Three hundred warriors first arrived at this plane and began to collect resources and build a stronghold. Large pieces of fruit were picked from the trees, and there were people digging for minerals on the ground. In addition, some idle personnel began to cut down trees, trying to build a temporary stronghold.
A large group of people are camping in peace.
This time, everyone brought a lot of supplies, including handy tools. The surrounding area was full of tall trees. After cutting down a few of them, a simple camp was half completed.
Of course, not everyone was working. Some soldiers picked up their blades and guns, stood outside, and patrolled the surrounding situation.
The first thing built was a watchtower.
Lu Wei led a small team of people to investigate the surrounding situation, while Zhang Jianxiong cut down trees and helped the soldiers build a camp. As for Du Men, he had now devoted himself to the surrounding trees. He held a notebook and concentrated on recording something.
This is what Chen Feng wants to see.
If possible, he would like to plant these trees near the Economic Development Zone. This would mean that the city would have many more nutritious fruits in the coming year, without the need to spend time and effort to cultivate mutated fruit trees from outside.
The work is going on in full swing.
In the blink of an eye, it was sunset. There were sunrises and sunsets here as well, but compared to the human world, the sun in this world seemed to have expanded several times, hanging high in the sky, giving people a sense of shock from the soul.
This may be the scenery of another world.
It was getting dark.
The soldiers who had been busy all day began to make a fire and cook. Chen Feng looked at the soldiers sitting on the ground and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Apparently, he had spent his first day in the strange world peacefully.
Everyone was very efficient.
On the one hand, it was due to orders, and on the other hand, it was because of the rewards promised by Chen Feng. Everyone could get 2% of the picking amount, not limited to fruits, even the ores could be exchanged for some weapons or meat at an equivalent price.
Originally, people thought that they would be able to spend the few days they had in this world peacefully.
But they were wrong.
On the second day, a huge wild boar broke into the vicinity of the camp. It was lured here by the noise of land reclamation. Its body could not be described as a pig at all, but a monster with huge fangs.
It has a thick skin and is built like a tank, especially its eyes, which are as big as a fist.
Because of the oxygen content.
The creatures here are beyond people's imagination.
The size of this monster is the best proof. There is no energy fluctuation on its body. It is obviously just an ordinary beast.
But in terms of momentum, it is so terrifying that it can take people's lives.
Everything happened too suddenly, from its appearance to the collision. The soldiers in the watchtower had just passed on the message of defense when the monster rushed over at a terrifying speed. The two unlucky soldiers were unable to dodge and were immediately trampled into meat paste.
Lu Wei, who was in charge of security, took action. He didn't even use the poison of the snake-scorpion demon. He just relied on a spine to pierce the monster's head and nailed it to the ground.
The giant beast lay on the ground, like a low mountain.
Two fighters were killed.
This affected some people's enthusiasm for work. Obviously, no one expected that casualties would occur so soon.
Chen Feng's face did not look very good. He criticized the soldier in charge of reconnaissance, but it was of no avail. The soldier died before he could receive medical treatment due to excessive blood loss.
Although Chen Feng does not have the ability to resurrect the dead soldiers, he can take revenge on the behemoth that brought the disaster.
The meat of the giant beast was cut off and put on the fire to be grilled. It was then added with some seasonings. Soon, the fragrant pieces of meat were served in front of everyone.
The death of the two soldiers was not meaningless. It proved Chen Feng's previous guess that this was a world with powerful life forms.
In addition to the resources on the surface, there are also some potential crises hidden beneath this beautiful environment.
In this case, a response must be taken.
Security work doubled and two more watchtowers were built. Compared to the previous ease, a heaviness now appeared on people's faces.
Even though there were pieces of meat dripping with oil in front of everyone, it still couldn't alleviate the shock that the giant beast had just brought to people. This place was far from being as peaceful as imagined, and compared to the outside world, this world was equally full of dangers.
… … … …
After a period of reconnaissance, it seemed like this place was an island, but the surrounding area was very huge. After two days of mining, the soldiers had cleared out at least dozens of fruit trees, but compared to the entire island, it was just a drop in the bucket.
This is a remote corner that has rarely been noticed by powerful creatures in the past, but now the sound of mining has attracted the attention of surrounding neighbors.
As mining continued, some strange-looking creatures gradually appeared in people's vision, including giant bears that walked upright and had snow-white fur, gorgeous tigers with two fangs, and giant elephants covered with thick fur. Compared with the human world, the size of the monsters here was beyond imagination, and each one could be described as a behemoth.
In addition, some terrifying insects would occasionally emerge from the ground and cause trouble for people.
But it's next to trouble.
After experiencing the terrible insect plague, what kind of insects have these soldiers not encountered? Beetles as strong as calves, centipedes three meters long, caterpillars that spew sulfuric acid, compared to those creatures, these are just scary insects, and as soon as they jump out, they are killed by the soldiers with a knife.
Day 5.
Due to some miasma, environment and attacks, the death toll has risen to twelve. This is unavoidable. Exploring an unknown environment means brushing against death. What's more, in such a complex environment, only twelve soldiers were killed. This is a blessing in disguise.
Chen Feng had no time to be sad. He would not be stingy with the compensation, but the work had to continue.
More than 1,300 people, divided into three teams, worked nearly 24 hours a day without interruption. In five days, they collected an astonishing number of fruits, minerals, and meat. It can be said that the food obtained in these few days alone can meet the food rations of the Economic Development Zone for three months.
Although fruits are not easy to preserve, it does not pose a problem for Chen Feng. Except for a small number of fruits that are eaten fresh, most of the other fruits are made into canned fruits and dried fruits, which will greatly reduce the spoilage of the fruits.
In addition, the mining of ore is also in full swing. In addition to the hard ore discovered before, some other ores have been discovered one after another within a few days, each with different characteristics. Among them, one kind of ore always emits a weak light, just like a luminous stone, which can be used for illumination at night. Mining it will greatly increase the city's night vision ability.
There is no electricity at the end of the world.
The city's power supply equipment has been paralyzed. It is simply wishful thinking to expect large-scale restoration. Therefore, except for some important office places, once night falls, ordinary people's homes will also become pitch black.
Candles are in short supply, but they will run out one day.
But now, the emergence of luminous stones has undoubtedly solved this problem. Within a few days, the mining volume of luminous stones exceeded ten tons, an astonishing number. These stones are enough to illuminate half of the Economic and Technological Development Zone.
… … …
Under the hazy night.
Chen Feng stood in the camp with a slight wrinkle on his brow. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little uneasy today, as if something big was about to happen.
I have had this feeling since this morning and it is even stronger now.
Chen Feng pressed his eyebrows. As time went by, he would leave this plane in a few days. He comforted himself that perhaps he was worried about the stability of the dimensional wall, which caused him to feel so confused.
The surroundings were apparently very quiet. Perhaps I was worrying too much.
But it didn't last long.
—“Woo…”
A hurried voice came from the watchtower.
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of gunfire, which was particularly harsh in the night. It was obvious that the personnel in charge of the investigation had encountered some trouble.
Chen Feng's body jerked, and a shadow rushed over following the sound. At the same time, the soldiers who had heard the sound also picked up their weapons, followed Chen Feng, and chased after him.
"Sir... the enemy is attacking..."
A soldier stood nervously in front of Chen Feng. He looked ordinary, but there were two pupils in each of his eyes. It was obvious that he was a professional.
His eyesight has been enhanced, and he even has amazing night vision. Because of his identity as a professional, he does not need to be transferred as frequently as ordinary people, so he is responsible for night patrols.
The soldier obviously hadn't recovered from the shock just now, and stammered: "I saw some humans... No... They were not humans... They were very tall, and their color was wrong, but they had legs and hands. I shot them dead..."
Human
It sounded a bit incoherent, and it was obvious that the enemy just now surprised him a little.
Seeing is believing. Chen Feng must see this kind of thing with his own eyes before he can make a judgment.
Following the direction pointed out by the soldier, Chen Feng led a group of people forward and found some footprints on the road, as well as some bloodstains.
It was obvious that the other party tried to escape, but after being hit by several bullets, he couldn't get far.
A humanoid creature appeared not far away. He was estimated to be two meters tall, with gray skin and wearing leather armor that looked like animal skin. In addition, he had long cheeks, a lion-like nose, and especially his ears, which were pointed like a dark elf.
Chen Feng squatted beside the other's body, his face was not very good, and he murmured: "It's not a human, nor is it an ordinary elf."
"Is it finally here?"
“We are the indigenous people of this world!”
