Three people, plus one Guerns, began the second round of sweeps.
This time, not only did he have to kill some of the new monsters, Rhodes also had to secretly cooperate with them to determine the surrounding land boundaries.
Rhodes sent the Zerg to follow them and continued to pick up the leaks.
As their number increased, Rhodes obtained more and more monster templates.
As time passed, brand new maps appeared on Rhodes' desk.
The rivers, woods, former roads, etc. are all marked clearly above.
Rhodes is also looking for a position where he can build a defense.
Only by isolating a piece of land that is stable enough can farming be possible.
Only if there is a place for farming, will people be willing to live, grow old, sick and die here.
As soon as the number of people increases, Rhodes will no longer lack various capable human templates.
And, with enough people, there will be demand for transactions.
With the need for trade, there will be people willing to look for valuable items.
Antiques, isn’t this coming?
If people are in such an environment, even survival is a luxury.
Then things outside the body can only be things outside the body.
At least among the four Gerns, Rhodes didn't find anything of value.
So this situation needs to be changed.
Rhodes let the four people sweep and stay nearby.
The reason why I dare not go far is also very simple, because I am worried about encountering some incredible beings.
Learned from Gernes et al.
This world has not had a decent gathering place for more than ten years.
In most cases, it's just a few people who find a corner to live together.
The reason is actually not difficult to guess.
If you are alone, if you encounter an attack, you will directly head into the dense forest.
There's nothing to be gained anyway, so as long as you're willing to run, you can always hide away.
But if you have a gathering place, then the goal is big.
Not only are they more likely to be attacked, but how many times they can be defended is also a problem.
There are enemies on all sides, how do you defend yourself?
And there are some beings that you will understand just by looking at you.
You can't be its opponent!
Rhodes was also extremely cautious about this.
Completely abide by the rule of working when the sun rises and resting when the sun goes down.
Not even light bulbs were installed in the city.
But after Rhodes thought about the various habits of monsters.
Then I thought about it, could I try to secretly infiltrate Chen Cang and drive the tiger away to devour the wolf?
He felt that he could try it first.
So Rhodes immediately started communicating with the Brood.
Not long after, various monsters that were swallowed into the mother nest were cloned again.
We are all monsters, so it makes sense to have a fight after meeting, right?
Under the command of Bug Brain, they began to form groups and attack other monsters.
One by one, smart people wake up in the dormant pool.
While studying the lineup, we will provide Bug Brain with more options.
Let these monsters march smoothly like soldiers.
Those who know how to dig holes dig holes here and there.
Wild boars, like armored vehicles, are responsible for defense.
Mutated tigers and leopards with ferocious claws would dig into the opponent's eyes as soon as they entered the arena.
There are also many people who can breathe fire, thunder, and spray poison, just to harass them.
The weak monsters nearby were quickly wiped out by them.
But some monsters are obviously not vegetarians either.
Not only do they really want to eat meat, but they are also very powerful individually.
He possesses various abilities that Rhodes has never heard of before.
The monster army that cooperated with Rhodes fought back and forth.
However, no matter how powerful they are, they cannot withstand so many people studying it every day.
Death is inevitable, it just depends on when.
The bodies of both sides after they fall will be recovered by the Zerg sent by Rhodes and swallowed into the brood for secondary use.
Rhodes keeps snowballing.
But other monsters have no snowball to roll.
From this, Rhodes gradually obtained more powerful monster templates.

In the new city, Gernes woke up from his sleep.
He looked at the blood moon outside the window, sweating profusely.
Lately, he could hear some faint sounds every night.
It seems that there are battles happening all the time in distant places.
He was so anxious that he couldn't sleep.
I'm afraid that when I wake up one day, the city will be destroyed and my home will be gone.
Even if I fall asleep lightly, my dreams are filled with all kinds of scary scenes.
Overwhelming monsters swarmed in.
He seemed to be in a desperate situation again.
Did he escape from the herd of beasts by virtue of his own strength?
Or should he use the last moment of his life to continue to protect his wife and children?
He gritted his teeth and chose the latter.
He started to defend himself desperately with everyone, but it was difficult for him to fight with his four fists.
A large number of monsters directly overwhelmed the crowd.
The splendid fire of civilization in the city was extinguished again.
He told himself that those were all dreams, all false.
He tried to convince himself that it was safe here.
He glanced at his wife, who was still in a sweet dream, and couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek.
"What are you dreaming about? You smile so sweetly."
Gernes touched the corners of his wife's raised mouth, his eyes full of doting.
He kicked off the quilts from the two children and covered them again.
He looked around.
In the cozy little home, my wife was lying next to me, and my two children were talking incomprehensible sleep.
His eyes are full of cherishment.
I really...really don't want to lose...such a home.
Even if they are dreams, please keep this dream firmly engraved in my mind!
"Hmm~"
Luo Yueyue mouthed the instructions and opened her sleepy eyes.
She stretched out, revealing her beautiful curves.
He found Gernes sitting on the bed, staring at him and looking up and down.
She was so ashamed that she got into Gernes's arms and rubbed hard in his arms.
"Oh~ why don't you sleep?"
"A little bloated, get up and sit for a while."
Gernes made a random excuse.
Nightmares are always just nightmares and should not be taken seriously.
He didn't want to worry Luo Yueyue by saying it.
"Ouch..."
Luo Yueyue responded vaguely, and then started groping for a while.
He felt Luo Yueyue's hands touching him.
Gernes asked, "What are you doing?"
"ah?"
Luo Yueyue raised a confused face.
Gernes took a deep breath.
He suddenly recalled the geography he had learned before.
With a wife who is considerate and considerate, stress will not easily accumulate.
The next day, he went to find Rhodes early in the morning.
He reported everything he had learned over the past few days to Rhodes.
After hearing this, Rhodes nodded.
I didn’t expect that the noise I made there could be heard by someone so far away.
He asked calmly:
"Brother-in-law, can all of you ability users hear that far?"
Gernes shook his head.
"No, there may only be a very small number of people who can hear it as far as I can."
This is really scary.
I thought all espers could hear that far.
I can rest assured that.
