Chapter 176: A Major Discovery

Time flies, and another month and a half has passed in the blink of an eye.

The daytime in the other world is no longer hot, noon is only more than 20 degrees, the temperature at night has dropped significantly, the lowest is minus twenty or thirty degrees, the lake next to the tribe has been frozen, fortunately, the Crazy Fish River is still flowing, it does not affect the normal intake and use of water.

As the temperature drops, the consumption of charcoal increases, and fires are lit in both military camps and private homes, so that ordinary people can be outdoors during the day, but at night, even the awakened must be energized to not feel cold.

In order to prevent the charcoal from being consumed too quickly, the Materials Bureau continued to burn a large amount of charcoal while raising the purchase price of charcoal in advance, so that the tribe could survive the cold winter smoothly.

The third expedition has come to an end, the second, third, and fifth dragon battalions have all returned triumphantly, but the number of people brought back is quite inferior to the last time, a total of only more than 8,000 people, the first and fourth dragon battalions and independent companies have not returned for the time being, they found two half-werewolf camps in the southwest and south of the tribe, the population is about seven or eight hundred, Liu Zhi's order is to jointly exterminate, and also specially sent Duan Qi to lead the cavalry team and the tribe's guardian demon beast Beamon to support, the battle commander is set to Huang Han, deputy commander Xu Liang, One of the half-werewolf camps has been wiped out and is heading towards the other.

In order to ensure that during the long winter training period, the soldiers can get enough nutritional supplements, Liu Zhi let the three dragon barracks that returned to take on the hunting together, and he planned to sweep the demon beasts near the tribe on a large scale before winter.

Now the population of the tribe has reached 23,000, plus the population found by the first and fourth dragon barracks and independent companies, the total population is approaching 30,000, which is indeed beyond Liu Zhi's expectations, he originally thought that it would be good to be in the early 10,000s before the winter, but he didn't expect it to more than double.

Among them, the greatest contribution is naturally the Agricultural Bureau, which only used less than 500 acres of agricultural land to feed the entire tribe of 20,000 or 30,000 people, which if it is placed on the earth, but tens of thousands of acres of land may not be able to do.

The southern shore of the lake has been fully developed, most of which is used for industrial and agricultural purposes, and no more construction has been made in the residential area, and the existing houses are enough to accommodate more than 40,000 people.

The employees of the Construction Bureau became with nothing to do, and Liu Zhi sent them all to the factory to produce armaments and labor tools to prepare for the relocation after the beginning of spring, and Lin Bei, who has the skill of "solid soil", went around to strengthen the building, including houses, factories, workshops, and several rock formations extending from the cliffs, so as not to be crushed by heavy snow in winter, causing unnecessary economic losses.

In the past month and a half, in addition to his own cultivation and handling of government affairs, Liu Zhi has devoted himself to Shu Yue, and he wants to train Shu Yue into an all-round warrior in the shortest possible time, so after the recruit period is over, he will personally take over Shu Yue's training, and there are more than 100 elite seedlings selected by Tu Wei who have received special training together, including Xiao Changle, Wei Ji, Su Wen and other teenagers with great potential.

Of course, Liu Zhi's focus is still on Shu Yue, the first thing to do is to get rid of the bad habits she has learned in the past, to ensure that the movements are simple and refined, and the shots are effective, and then to lay a solid foundation, teach the use of various weapons, and choose the most suitable one for Shu Yue to use.

Shu Yue originally liked spears, she knew that Liu Zhi used guns, and simply wanted to use the same kind of blade as Liu Zhi. However, Liu Zhi thinks that the gun is too difficult to practice, and even he himself was in the four-year life-and-death struggle in the demon fighting field, so he improved the spear skill to the realm of Dacheng who can use it freely, and with Shu Yue's talent, it is difficult to master it without a year or two of battlefield sharpening, so it is recommended that Shu Yue change to a weapon that is easier to practice.

Although Shu Yue was disappointed, she did not insist, and finally chose a lancet that is more suitable for women.

During the entire special training process, Liu Zhi was very strict with everyone, including Shu Yue, Shu Yue didn't say anything bitter, her understanding ability was average, after all, she was just a girl, and she had never been exposed to killing before. But she trains very hard, and she has broken through to the realm of Xuanti Xiaocheng, and her control of strength is more refined than ordinary people, so she is progressing quite fast, and in the entire special training team at this stage, Gu Xiaoying, Xiao Changle, and Wei He can beat her, and the gap is still shortening.

Liu Zhi was naturally very satisfied with this effect, but he also had a lot of doubts in his heart, the most important of which was that Shu Yue's cultivation improvement speed had been greatly reduced, and the strength of his body had not broken through to the strengthening plus 1, he asked Shu Yue a few times, but every time, Shu Yue was reluctant to answer, and he was not reluctant, but let Shu Yue have any cultivation requirements that he could put forward with confidence and boldly, and he would do his best to meet them.

So later, Shu Yue told him that he wanted to go to the ice library to cultivate, saying that her cold vitality in a low temperature environment may have the effect of cultivation bonus, although Liu Zhi felt strange, but he still agreed, and let Shu Yue give a key to the ice library, and told her that she could cultivate in the ice library in the first half of the night, and she must go back to the house to rest in the second half of the night.

Since then, Shu Yue has resumed his cultivation speed against the sky, Liu Zhi is relieved, he knows that Shu Yue's ability is definitely not only related to low temperature, the decisive factor may be those demon beast corpses, he has long felt that the spiritual energy contained in the meat of some second-level demon beasts has been reduced a lot, at first he thought it was some weaker demon beasts, but now after thinking about it before and after, Liu Zhi can be sure that nine times out of ten it was absorbed and refined by Shu Yue.

However, Liu Zhi did not send someone to investigate in depth, this kind of innate skill with the function of "devouring", one of the billion awakened people may not be able to find one, the effect is extremely powerful, now that she has a clear idea, it is enough to provide her with a suitable cultivation environment, there is really no need to get to the bottom of it.

The fewer people who know about this secret, the better.

Human beings are very harsh creatures on aliens, Shu Yue's ability is different from most people, and it also needs to be improved with the help of dead corpses, it must be very strange in the eyes of ordinary people, once it spreads, it is likely to be regarded as a monster, and it will even cause people's panic and hatred.

Liu Zhi didn't want to embarrass the little girl, let alone make her feel that he didn't trust her.

In the afternoon of this day, there was a special training for fighting, Liu Zhi and Fu Kui stood in front of the crowd, in front of him was a spectacular scene of more than 180 people catching and fighting, most of the weapons used were knives and guns, and there were also side weapons, such as long sticks, halberd knives, double maces, short forks and the like.

Liu Zhi mainly focuses on three of them - Gu Xiaoying and Shu Yue, Xiao Changle and Su Wen, Wei Ji and Zhang Jing.

In the "Cultivation Holy Land" created by Liu Zhi's exhalation at the beginning, Gu Xiaoying had already broken through to the Xuan Body Xiaocheng, and her combat skills had also grown to a fairly mature point, but in the face of the slightly immature Shu Yue, she still had no advantage, although Shu Yue's cultivation was not as high as her, her strength and physical strength far surpassed her, and the Yin Cold Yuan Qi had a certain restraint effect on ordinary Yuan Qi, so the two quickly fell into a stalemate, and it was estimated that there were no thirty or fifty rounds, and it was difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser.

Xiao Changle is more than a step stronger than Su Wen, a hexagonal gun makes him dignified, but he also hides tricks, and he has completely controlled the situation.

Wei Ji's progress is great, but Zhang Jing is not much worse than him, one big and one small are inseparable, and they are constantly shouting, which is quite a bit of gunpowder.

In the last field training led by Tu Wei, Wei He was glorious at the bottom, and even the nine-year-old Zhang Jing couldn't compare, which somewhat rubbed out the arrogance in his heart, and at the same time, he was naturally a little dissatisfied with Xiao Changle, Su Wen, and Zhang Jing.

Because of these, Wei He's recent training is extremely hard, and he is almost not under the training madman Xiao Changle, Wei Wei is worried that he will have a physical loss, and he will stew some demon beast meat and send it over whenever he is free.

Tu Wei and Yan Linglai stood aside with a few instructors to prevent accidents in the field, when an intelligence officer from the Military Intelligence Department suddenly ran into the training ground and came to Liu Zhi's side and said, "Chief, the people who are scouting along the river have returned, saying that there is a major discovery, and the director asks you to go over now." ”

Liu Zhi's eyes lit up, he had been waiting for the news, let Tu Wei take over the training, and while walking out, he asked the man, "When did you come back?" ”

"Just arrived."

"Where are you now?"

"In the Commissioner's office."
