Chapter 283: Fortress
If you look closely, there are indeed some doorways in this spring. The surrounding rocks are pitch black and rugged, not like mountain rocks, but like volcanic rocks. Cangwu Mountain is not a volcano, and the origin of these stones is very suspicious.
Sun Xiang checked and determined that this was indeed a leyline outlet, but he didn't know how the underground spring water had changed and was contaminated with healing properties. Perhaps that's why the herbs grow so luxuriantly here.
The spring is on the sunny side, and the Marina City is on the other side of the mountain. To get a view of the city, you need to walk around the ridge. Although the straight-line distance is not far, Sun Xiang is worried that Xu Weiyue will not be satisfied. He took out the Lishui spiritual root and asked her opinion.
Xiang Fei and Xin Xing were surprised when they saw it, and they didn't know what the head of Sun Da was crazy about talking to a woolen ball seriously.
Unexpectedly, the yarn ball actually spoke out of his mouth, which startled the two of them: "You put me down, I want to see the situation of the formation." ”
Xin Xing immediately jumped up and made trouble: "Play with me!"
Sun Xiang slapped her away, and then put the Lishui spiritual root into the spring. The ball of yarn bubbled up a few times and sank to no trace.
Xin Xing was disappointed, she forced Sun Xiang to explain why the yarn ball could speak, and she was a woman, what was the relationship with Sun Xiang, and what conspiracy was there. Master Sun was so annoyed by her that he was about to make two moves with her, when Xu Weiyue came out of the spring again, and it was only ten minutes before and after.
"It works. She said, "It's a soft mountain, and I can get from here to there." You mark an area for me on the other side, and I'll grow over there. ”
"But my roots can only be rooted here, and you can't use this spring in the future, are you willing to do it?"
Sun Xiang was not so rare that he could not take a fancy of medicinal springs, and besides, food supply was more important than medicine, so he immediately agreed. However, the spiritual roots of Yeosu did not start growing immediately, but rose and fell in the spring water.
"I'm going to drink plenty of water first. "It will take me a month to grow the roots, and then another month to grow on the other side." ”
"You seem to be in a much better mood. ”
Xu Weiyue seemed to have gotten rid of her grief, and her voice revealed a sense of energy, and Sun Xiang was more pleased.
"It's a different environment, and everything starts again. The ball of yarn replied slowly, "Seeing you, Yu Xiaoyue and Xiangfei, I suddenly believe in love again." ”
Xiang Fei asked strangely, "How do you know Sister Xiaoyue?"
"Because I was in the chair next to your bed all the night last night. Xu Weiyue's voice was unwavering, "Awesome!"
Sun Xiang covered his face, he forgot about this stubble. Xiang Fei's little face was flushed, and she couldn't wait to punch Sun Xiang. But before they could argue, her walkie-talkie rang.
The voice of lightning came from inside, and there was some murmur: "Xiangfei, can you hear me? I am lightning." ”
"Roger!
"Is Master with you?"
Xiang Fei paused for a moment, and Sun Xiang took the walkie-talkie: "I'm here, how do you know?"
The lightning over there replied: "The convoy that came back just now said that I saw you go to Yaowang Spring, I guess I should be able to find you if I look for Xiang Fei." Master, you should go out with a walkie-talkie in the future, otherwise it will be really difficult to find your old man's home. ”
"Okay, what's the matter. ”
"City Lord Yu sent a message from Stronghold No. 1 that she was in a little trouble, and I hope you can come over and help. ”
~~~~~~~~~~~~
After Sun Xiang's return, especially after the distribution of the Divine Light Sword to the front-line troops, Yu Xiaoyue was finally freed from the heavy work of government affairs, and finally had the spare energy to do some things that she had wanted to do for a long time.
Don't look at her like a little woman when she is with Sun Da, that's because Sun Da's momentum is too strong, and she can't hold it down. In fact, Yu Xiaoyue was trained as the successor of Luhe Group before the troubled times, and she has been in a high position for many years and has a strong sense of dedication.
Without some skills and ability, the New World Society would not have done it for several years.
Yu Xiaoyue's first goal was to establish a military base in Pingchungang. Yu Xiaoyue and Lightning's biggest concern has always been that Binhai is a lonely city. Now they are in a state of hostility with the forces of the New World Society in the north, and they have been fighting with the demon clan in the south for several years.
It can almost be said that out of the coastal city wall, it is enemy territory.
Anyone with a modicum of military common sense knows how dangerous this situation is.
In the past, she didn't even have the strength to defend the city wall, so how could she have the strength to think about anything else. Now that she has finally freed her hands, Yu Xiaoyue has taken Pingchun Gang as her primary goal.
The terrain here is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it has been the key point of the coast since ancient times. As long as it is stuck here, it will be difficult for the army of the demon clan to make a detour. Powerful youkai can pass through the steep hills on both sides, but the huge number of ordinary youkai can't do this. Most of these guys have impressive IQs, and they will only fill in the cliffs with their bodies.
Build a strong fortress here to buy a valuable buffer time for the Marina in the event of a demon attack.
And once this place is held, the hinterland of the valley between Pingchun and Binhai, which is more than 100 kilometers long, will be firmly controlled by Yu Xiaoyue.
This area is not only rich in products, but also abundant in water, suitable for agriculture and animal husbandry. Moreover, before the troubled times, the light industry here was developed, and there were many important production bases for people's biological resources.
Because it was too far from the city, it was abandoned by the state at the beginning of the troubled times, and the residents were forced to evacuate to the coast. But the production lines and equipment inside are still in place.
According to some workers, most of them "can be used when they are connected to electricity". The reopening of these production lines will greatly improve the supply capacity of Binhai.
Lightning has been hungry here for a long time. Although he and Yu Xiaoyue are one to focus on production and the other to the military, the two hit it off on the issue of Pingchungang. The construction of a fortress here will be the first step in the expansion of the Marina.
In the past, the coastal area was not incapable of building a fortress here, but it was incapable of defending it. Send soldiers to garrison, and when you encounter powerful monsters, you will deliver food. Send cultivators, there are more than 100 people in Binhai, and you can't divide them.
Now with the elite soldiers who are issued with the divine lightsabers, the problem of manpower can finally be solved. Moreover, Yu Xiaoyue also brought Xu Yongzhi's latest secret weapon. Even if the demon attacks, it will be enough to drink a pot.
Sun Xiang drove to Pingchun alone, no matter how much Xiang Fei made trouble, he didn't take her. The trip was smooth all the way, and I didn't bump into the little demon who didn't have long eyes, and even saw two transport trucks full of white pigs driving towards the sea.
Some time ago, Jiang Ping reached some PY deals with the pig essence here during the exploration of the team, so Binhai sent a convoy to pull the pigs back from here in three days.
These pigs are too thin and still need to be fed. However, a small number of emergency cases were slaughtered. For example, Xu Yishan's bowl of braised pork at noon came from this way.
Because of the traffic coming and going, the little demons along the way were cleaned up over and over again by the previous soldiers, so the route is now safe. The ancients said that people do not live and ghosts are born. This monster is like a weed, although the wildfire does not burn and the spring breeze blows and grows again, but as long as it is diligent enough to clean up frequently, it can always maintain a general cleanliness.
By the time the jeep reached its destination, it was completely dark, and the moon had risen, casting a silvery white patch over the mountains. In the darkness, the large area of building lighting is unusually conspicuous. Sun Xiang drove over and found that the stronghold was simply a construction site.
A construction team of no less than 300 people is rushing to work. They fortified around an abandoned supermarket. The exterior of the supermarket was framed with a foot-thick steel frame again, and several tankers were pouring concrete into it.
At the top, a small crane has been installed, and several workers are using steel cables to lift a particularly sci-fi shaped cannon. Sun Xiang recognized that it was the cannon body part of a spiritual energy diffusion cannon.
This place is far from the coast, deep into the area controlled by the demons. Although it is safe for the time being, the construction of the project will inevitably attract attention. Therefore, it is necessary to complete the repair of the fortress before the demon clan reacts. Fortunately, human beings have always been good at building, and Huaguo is known as the "infrastructure madness", and it is not impossible to build a city overnight.
Of course, the supermarket being fortified here is not all there is to the fortress. According to the design of the Lightning, the entire fortress was much larger. This supermarket is only the first and most important stronghold. This will be the center of the entire fortress, and the aura diffusion cannon installed at the vantage point can guard the entire mountain pass.
Yu Xiaoyue was directing the operation on the ground, and Sun Xiang heard her scolding from a distance. Xiaoyue's voice is pleasant and lively, with a little childishness. But at this time, it was cold to the bone, and with her name as a martial god, the scolded soldier lowered his head and trembled and did not dare to squeak.
I'm afraid that Lord Martial God will cut him down.
"Xiaoyue, I'm here. Sun Xiang greeted him and reached out to hug him.
Unexpectedly, Yu Xiaoyue glanced at him coldly, and said in a completely businesslike tone: "Master Sun, you are here." Come in and talk. ”
Sun Xiang was baffled by her attitude, and retracted his hand in embarrassment, is he still angry about what happened last night?
The two walked into the prefabricated room on the side, Yu Xiaoyue rushed over after closing the door, and pulled Sun Xiang's face with her angry hands:
"Don't call me by my nickname outside!, don't I lose face!!"
Sun Xiang is embarrassed, the key is that Yu Xiaoyue is too noisy when she is with him, and he always subconsciously forgets her true identity.
The Coastal City Lord, the Oriental White Shield, and the Martial God, each of these names can represent Yu Xiaoyue's prestige. Soldiers and civilians alike were fanatical about her, and cultivators chose to follow her because she was the strongest. She is the force of human beings, the face of cultivators, even Tian Tian is a stinky and narcissistic guy, she regards Yu Xiaoyue as her idol.
So having said so much, Yu Xiaoyue has always been sacrosanct outside, and she herself also attaches great importance to image management. I didn't see her scolding, and the other party didn't dare to look up.
Sun Xiang is good, and shouts "Laughing Moon" regardless of the occasion. You must know that her real name is Yu Xiaoyue, and few people dare to call it directly.
If you really want to pull Sun Xiang over and hug him and rub his face, not to mention Yu Xiaoyue, even the soldiers next to him are afraid that they will raise their guns and shoot at him.
"I know I'm wrong, Lord Yu. ”
Sun Xiang changed his words respectfully, and then couldn't help laughing for a long time.
