I don't know if it was because of this outbreak that Chen Mu's prestige became unbreakable among these children. This also led to the smooth work of Chen Mu teaching the group of children gymnastics. Compared with him before, the physical fitness of these young people from the Wancheng lineage is much better. They started this set of gymnastics very quickly, to the point where even Chen Mu was surprised, but Weah always had a calm expression.

Weah really began to teach these children his skills, which made Chen Mu overjoyed. In his opinion, the power of these primitive techniques is astonishing. Chen Mu has always felt that Weah's skills are very suitable for these teenagers in the village. They are smart, have excellent physical fitness, have a persevering temperament, and are not afraid of pain or suffering. They are simply perfect disciples. But Weah never thought of imparting his skills to these teenagers, but he just took a fancy to Chen Mu, an outsider.

That's not the only reason Weah didn't fit in with the village. Chen Mu had long discovered that, except for the patriarch and Li Duhong, Weah had a slightly more relaxed expression, but he never had a good look towards the people in other villages. The villagers in the village were more afraid of Weah than respectful, and some villagers even had a trace of hostility in their eyes, which made Chen Mu a little puzzled.

Weah has not given a positive answer to this question until now, and Chen Mu guesses that he will not answer. However, what reassured Chen Mu was that the emotions of the adult villagers did not have much influence on the children. These children have experienced the test of life and death, and their worship of power has reached the extreme. As a typical representative of power, Weah has enough capital to become one of the new round of idols, of course, the other is our Comrade Chen Mu.

That bug brought many surprises to Chen Mu. The black steel sickle bug, this bug is one of the few creepy creatures in the whole jungle. Its carapace is very hard and it moves quickly. It is a natural swordsman, its pair of powerful sickle front claws, coupled with its superb predation skills, make it run amok in the jungle.

It was not Alfonso, but Li Duhong who knew the Wugang scythe, which surprised Chen Mu a little. Immediately, the black steel sickle insect was dismembered, and those carapaces that could even block the tail shuttle were undoubtedly excellent materials. Now these children are all unarmed. Anything that can be used as a weapon is used by them to arm themselves.

Alfonso looked at these carapaces with greed, but unfortunately he didn't have the tools at hand to process them. He carried only a set of tiny tools, which were of limited utility. Among them, some can only complete metal extraction of less than five kilograms, and some can only produce metal parts with a diameter of no more than ten centimeters. But this set of miniature tools can help Alfonso build a simple metal laboratory in the shortest possible time. This set of equipment also includes some detection equipment, which can help them find some relatively shallow mineral deposits.

The most direct consequence of the breath-holding method brought to Chen Mu this time was that he was sore and weak for three consecutive days.

But they have no time to rest. For them, time is life! Their supplies are running out, and if they don't leave the area with abnormal glue clouds within half a month, their future will be in jeopardy. It is impossible for more than 2,000 people to live by hunting in the jungle, not to mention that their team does not have enough hunters.

The progress of the whole team was extremely difficult, but this group of children showed excellent discipline and perseverance, which even moved Chen Mu.

This is already the twenty-second day of marching, and they have successfully moved away from the unstable area of the gel cloud. The team looked horrible, everyone was almost like a clay figurine, their bodies were covered with mud and rotten leaves, and their clothes were torn.

The black steel sickle insect was the last obstacle they encountered, and they never encountered other powerful beasts during the subsequent journey. According to Li Duhong's explanation, the smell of the black steel sickle insect will make many ferocious beasts stay far away. It was only then that Chen Mu realized how powerful the bug he and Weah had dealt with last time was.

"How long do we have to go?" Li Duhong asked Alfonso.

Alfonso's skin was tanned, changing his old thin image. Everyone was relieved that the team had left the abnormal area of the glue cloud, but now another problem everyone faced was that they had to choose a temporary residence. Alfonso shook his head: "I don't know either." After speaking, he touched Li Duhong's head, and sighed for some reason.

How to choose a temporary residence is not a simple matter. It requires a nearby water source, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so as to prevent the attack of wild animals. For them at the current stage, this is especially important. The task of choosing the camp was handed over to Alfonso by Chen Mu. Although he was not at the same level, he was undoubtedly the most vocal in the entire team. There are three other people assisting him. Mo Gu, Dong Shi and Li Zexi are all sixteen years old. They are the oldest three of these teenagers, and they are also the only three who have received complete warrior training.

In the village, the three of them are the key training objects, known as young geniuses. They will assist Alfonso in choosing a camp, and they will be mainly responsible for security issues.

Since no suitable temporary camp had been found, everyone had no choice but to move on.

Until the twenty-fourth day, they finally found a suitable temporary camp. The camp is surrounded by cliffs on three sides, and these thousands of meters of cliffs become a natural barrier for the camp. And at the bottom of the cliff, there is a pool of water, which is connected to the underground river and is running water. This camp is undoubtedly quite suitable for these teenagers who have little combat effectiveness for the time being.

The location of the new camp was decided, and everyone couldn't help cheering. These teenagers finally saw hope.

When Chen Mu led everyone into this valley, Weah had already cleared out all the larger beasts that could be seen inside. These teenagers didn't settle in until he was sure that the valley was completely safe.

A new camp means a new beginning. At this time, bright smiles appeared on the faces of the children. Regardless of their age, they began to consciously clear the weeds in the valley.

Fences were soon erected, fresh trunks sharpened and lined up to seal off the mouth of the valley. The entire project was completed by Weah alone. In the eyes of the children, Weah was a humanoid machine.

Perhaps, this guy is really a humanoid machine, sometimes Chen Mu couldn't help thinking this way.

Alfonso is also busy, he is directing a group of children to dig ore. The mines here are buried very shallow from the surface and can be dug very easily, but for these children with only the simplest tools, this is also a very difficult job. Li Duhong dug hard among the children without saying a word, her little face was covered with sweat.

Li Duhong's status is respected, he is the grandson of the patriarch, and if nothing else happens, he is very likely to be the future patriarch. This identity made other children fear him from the bottom of their bones, and during this time, his calmness and competence also allowed him to quickly establish prestige among the teenagers.

Suddenly, Weah at the entrance of the valley stopped his movements, showing a vigilant expression. Chen Mu immediately noticed Weah's strangeness. He stopped what he was doing, turned his face, and made a warning gesture to the teenagers behind him.

The expressions of the young men behind them changed, and they ran back: "Be on alert! Everyone is on alert! The artillery team is ready!"

The artillery team he mentioned refers to the only few small cluster guns. Everyone rushed to the depths of the valley immediately, and the youngsters who were manipulating the small cluster guns had already set up the cluster guns and were ready to fire.

When Chen Mu turned his face again, Weah at the valley entrance had disappeared.

When Weah appeared again, there was a large group of people behind him. There were about 200 people in this group, and the person at the head, Chen Mu, was very familiar, it was Bo Wen! These people were all from the village, and Cheng Ying was among them. They looked in a panic. When the children in the valley saw these familiar relatives outside, they rushed over immediately!

The joy of reuniting relatives made the valley full of crying, no matter men, women or children, they all cried into a pile, and even Cheng Ying kept wiping away their tears.

"Let's go to the valley first, and then slowly talk about the old days." Bo Wenlang said.

From the obedience of these villagers, Chen Mu could tell that Bo Wen had become the leader of these two hundred people. Bowen looked at Chen Mu with a half-smile, which made him feel very uncomfortable. With Bo Wen's ability, becoming the leader of this group of people is a very normal thing in Chen Mu's view. Chen Mu is really not interested in the position of leader, but he is very clear that if Bowen becomes the leader of this camp, his situation will undoubtedly become worse.

Chen Mu discovered that these two hundred people were all fighters! With Bo Wen's character, he will definitely not bring those who might hold him back. The joining of these two hundred soldiers is undoubtedly a great thing for the entire camp.

But for Chen Mu, this is not good news.

After comparing the strengths of the two sides, Chen Mu can conclude that his side is completely at a disadvantage. On my own side, there are all ignorant children, and their combat effectiveness is almost negligible.

Chen Mu suddenly felt a headache. But at this moment, Li Duhong suddenly emerged from the crowd.
