In a real dream, on the outer edge of the swamp, a tall wolf smoke rose into the sky. In this breezy weather, it rose to nearly a thousand meters before gradually dissipating. The eye-catching plume of smoke was clearly visible dozens of kilometers away.
Below the smoke column, there is a busy camp, where 16 explorers are as busy as ants, most of them are cutting down wood, and then carrying it back to the camp to strengthen the walls. Above the camp, the Confederate flag flew.
The leader of the camp is a man who looks to be in his early 40s, with a stoic face and a striking scar on his face. The reputation of 'Jack Scar' has spread beyond the Federation, and he is very famous in both the community and the dynasty. He has been exploring the real dreamland for four full years, spanning three world changes, and has only died three times so far. More than 30 explorers from dynasties and communities have died at his hands.
Scar Jack was holding the blueprint in his hand and was roaring: "Hurry up! Before dark today, we will cut down all the trees within 50 meters of the surrounding area, and then move half of the wood back to strengthen the exterior wall! Our original exterior wall The wall can't stop those bastards. If you don't want to die, just work for me. We need to double the thickness of the outer wall and then raise it to 3 meters!
At this time, a surprised shout came from the watchtower: "Two people are coming!"
Scar Jack stroked his beard and said: "The eight places that Little John brought back were not in vain. It is always good to have two more people. Maybe there will be more helpers later."
"But we don't have enough room to live."
The camp is not big, only a little over 100 square meters in total, and it is already packed inside. The passage is so narrow that it is difficult for two people to walk side by side. Initially, this camp was built by only 4 people. The scope has not been expanded, but the defenses have been continuously strengthened. Now nearly 20 people have moved in and it is already very crowded.
Scar Jack glared at the man and roared: "They all sleep side by side. If that doesn't work, make two or three floors of beds. If you can't sleep standing up! Do you want to sleep more comfortably or do you want to die?" "
The man shrank his head and did not dare to speak anymore.
Scar Jack was still angry and said: "If you keep nagging me, I'll make a wooden box and put you all in it to sleep!"
A guy who had nothing to do with it said with a smile: "I have a friend who just came back from the N77 star field battlefield. I heard that the prisoners there were stripped naked and stuffed into cans. They ate and slept standing up, and they didn't fall down at all. Don’t go down.”
"Shut up! Go chop down the tree!" Scar Jack kicked the talkative guy out of the camp.
These explorers were all strong and each could carry a log back alone. Although the trees in the swamp rainforest are not huge, a single log weighs several hundred kilograms. The explorers carried them back and forth one by one and had to work for two hours before taking a break. But no one complained. After the last round of ape monster night attacks, everyone knew that this camp could not stop the second attack.
Two new explorers joined and were immediately assigned tasks.
This wolf smoke is the Federation's conspiracy, which can summon Federation explorers within a wide range and quickly form a team. Although this would also expose the location of the camp, the camp was already large enough that even if it was discovered by people from the dynasty or the community, they could only retreat quietly.
According to the news brought back by Little John, the federal headquarters will continue to send more explorers. This camp is already the largest camp in the federation. The second and third camps currently only have 10 people each.
Scar Jack looked at the sky and decided to continue cutting wood in the first half of the night. Under normal circumstances, they harvest resources during the day, and hide in the camp at night to do handcrafts, processing weapons, ammunition and equipment. In this almost primitive world, there is no night vision equipment, no biological radar, and no infrared scanning. Darkness is the natural enemy of mankind. But now that he has nearly 20 experienced and powerful people on his hands, there is no reason not to make good use of them.
If two more people come before nightfall, Scar Jack is sure to turn the camp into an indestructible fortress before the second disaster. When the time comes, he will let those barbaric ape monsters know what the power of civilization is.
As night fell, Chu Jungui exited the mountainous area and stood on a small high ground. This place is not far from the camp he originally chose, but the terrain is more conducive to defense.
The small highland has steep slopes on three sides and gentle slopes on one side. It is 15 meters higher than the surrounding area and has good sight lines. This place is about one kilometer away from the forest, and the middle 700 to 800 meters are open areas with only a few sparse trees. After they are cut down, there will be no obstacles.
There is a stream not far from the small plateau, and the mining cliff is less than a thousand meters away, so the distance is acceptable. Chu Jungui looked up at the night sky. There seemed to be a hard-to-find red ring on the edge of the giant planet. Under normal circumstances, it is only the fourth day after the disaster, and there are at least 6 days left before we need to face the second disaster. However, will this world follow the settings so mechanically?
In the decades since the emergence of real dreams, catastrophes have occurred at a frequency of once every ten days, so that the rhythm of explorers entering real dreams has also been on a 10-day cycle. New explorers will choose to enter on the first day after the disaster ends, so as to maximize their development time.
But after the world changes this time, it seems that many things have become different. After dying once, Chu Jun had a vague feeling that he couldn't treat this place as a simple virtual world.
If the factor of disaster is not taken into account, then the mutant warriors who are chasing him should arrive at the second village within a day or two. That village is about 80 kilometers away from Chu Jungui's current camp and about 50 kilometers away from the first material. The three directions roughly form a relatively full triangle.
Chu Jungui was confident that he had left no traces, so a blanket search might take him one to three days to find Chu Jungui. From this point of view, Chu Jungui will face his pursuers in three days at the earliest and five or six days at the latest.
"There's plenty of time..."
Chu Jungui set the center of the camp on the side of the small highland, facing the forest, then put down his backpack and opened it. The backpack contains two thermal power stoves, more than a hundred arrows, an electric stove, various simple tools, 300 kilograms of various metals, and of course a wrapped cactus branch.
Chu Jungui lined up all the equipment, took out a metal bar and roughly circled the construction area on the ground. He finally verified the plan and started executing it.
Chu Jungui weighed the metal ingot in his hand and said to Kaitian: "Do you know what method was most effective for advanced civilizations to deal with primitive races in human history?"
Kaitian had already read through the history of mankind, and the richness of the information was second only to the political components of Chu Jungui. At the moment, it recalled the entire history of human development in the home planet era, and then said: "Pretending to be a god or a ghost?"
