In the evening, the convoy returned to the cave, and because of the "Ze" character inscription, the injuries on these people were healed by Hua Yan on the way.

Their return caused a sensation in the cave, and it had been a long time since they had brought back so much food at one time, especially as soon as Hua Yan came back, he led everyone back with a full load, and there was no loss of manpower, and everyone was very happy.

Hua Yan's reputation is naturally unmatched in the cave, and his return immediately made this cave a little more joyful.

After living in the last days for a long time, everyone has begun to slowly adapt to the days without computers and televisions, and it is easier to be satisfied.

In the evening, a bonfire was held, and the smell of barbecued mutant rat meat filled the cave, and some people gathered around the campfire to tell stories and jokes loudly, and others would gather together to chant poems and sing.

A group of children are running happily, laughing and ......, and the leader is Cai Xinxin, and now she is like the child king in this cave.

In a flat open space by the dark river, Hua Yan, Liu Haitao, and Xiao Li sat on the ground, and a fire was built next to it, on which roast rat meat was shelved.

Some time ago, Liu Haitao searched for a few bottles of good wine, and at this time they all took them out, and each of them took a bottle and drank it at will.

"What's going on with Brother Long?"

Hua Yan poured a sip of liquor into his mouth and said with a snort of wine.

Liu Haitao and Xiao Li didn't make a sound, and the two of them began to drink non-stop, and finally Liu Haitao broke the silence.

"Some time ago, after the black rain stopped, a few outsiders came here, they were dressed in white robes, wrapped in white turbans, and had powerful soul energy, they claimed to be the messengers of the goddess of stars and moons, to save mankind."

"They are going to establish a third-level city of the Star and Moon God Sect in the center of the city before the end of the world, as long as you swear to believe in the Star and Moon Goddess and give your soul to the Star and Moon Goddess after death, you will be redeemed, and you will also get the ...... of soul energy."

"The second one, there are dozens of other people, who followed these people... If it weren't for the third brother, your reputation here is extremely high, and maybe there will be more people who follow ....... ”

Before the nuclear explosion, the Light and Darkness Alliance, the Star and Moon Divine Cult, and the Bodhi Religion were the three major religions in the world.

Hua Yan thought that the people from the Light and Dark Alliance he met some time ago should be similar to these people from the Star Moon God Sect.

Unexpectedly, now these religious forces have shown their powerful soul abilities, and have begun to accept the surviving human beings and rebuild civilization.

"Alas~ Everyone has their own aspirations, Brother Long may feel that he can't use soul energy, it is difficult to survive in this last world, he may want to fight for a chance......"

Xiao Li stared down at the bonfire and said slowly as if he was distracted.

"In fact, in the past few months, since everyone has known about the soul energy, the thousands of people in the cave have slowly begun to divide."

"Now people with soul energy can basically survive outside the cave, and their abilities are stronger than ordinary people, while others can't withstand the radiation outside, and they can't get out of this cave without protective clothing."

"Now most of the people in the cave are serving these twenty or so soul-capable people, making armor, weapons, clothes, and all kinds of crafts for us, and we exchange them with all kinds of things we have searched outside."

"In a word, people with soul energy are basically nobles in this cave, but now this momentum has just begun, and the impact is not too great."

Hua Yan also fell into deep thought, yes, after the end of the world, the appearance of soul energy, maybe human beings will never be able to return to the previous social structure, in addition to survival, there are many other complex problems, these are like fog, bothering them.

Brother Long chose religion, which is not necessarily a bad thing, Hua Yan comforted himself in his heart, poured another sip of wine, it may be too violent, choked and coughed for a long time, and then asked:

"How many Giant Desolation Fruits do we have here now?"

"There are more than a hundred, and I have dried them all when they are ripe and put them away......."

At this time, the barbecue meat was also cooked, the hot oil on the meat dripped onto the fire, and there was a sizzling sound, and the fragrance suddenly came to the nose.

"Where did I save four or five thousand people in the AA Special Administrative Region, there are more than forty people who have cracks in the soul energy barrier, and there are still some weapons over there, and there are a lot of food ......"

"I want to bring these people to the cave too~"

Hua Yan put down the wine bottle, looked at Liu Haitao and said.

Liu Haitao thought for a while and said: "It's okay to bring these people over, but you have to coordinate well, otherwise it's easy to make trouble!" ”

"In addition, after these people come, we will have seven or eight thousand people here, and we will start to build a small town in the cave, and the management and distribution of materials after establishment are also a headache......

Hua Yan smiled and said: "The problem of management and distribution can only be a headache for you, boss, but I can't help it.... ”

He paused again, then smiled mysteriously and said:

"Coordination, you don't have to worry, I'll give it to Han Meng over there, and when the time comes, you go and coordinate with the beauties...... hehe."

"Beauty!"

At this time, Xiao Li also came over with wide eyes.

"Go, go, go, go, adults, don't get involved with children~"

Liu Haitao waved his hand at Xiao Li and said jokingly.

Then they laughed together.

After a while, Hua Yan seemed to remember something again, and his expression became heavy again.

"What's the deal with the mutant rat swarm?"

Hua Yan looked at the two of them and asked.

"Third brother, this was about half a year ago, there were dozens of them at the beginning, and the people we stationed in the grain depot were almost crazy, but fortunately, the few people stationed at that time were all people with soul abilities, and they all escaped back!"

Xiao Li took a bite of barbecue and said slowly.

"Later, we organized three convoys to grab grain, and the first time there were hundreds of them, and after beating them back, we transported several tons of grain."

"The second time, there were already two or three hundred, barely broke up the rats, hurriedly loaded less than two tons of grain and hurriedly withdrew, and the third time I just ran into you and rushed back!"

Liu Haitao leaned forward, twisted his brows and said:

"This thing is weird~"

"According to the reproduction cycle, even if radiation causes mutations, it shouldn't be so early, not to mention that there is a rat king, we have dealt with these mutant rats a few times, and their IQ is not low~"

"It's hard to guarantee that there won't be mutated dogs, cats, or anything in the future, and it's estimated that there will be more trouble when the time comes......!"

At this time, Hua Yan couldn't help but think of the Nightmare Demon, could it be that terrible monster manipulating something?

My heart became heavier and heavier, and it seemed that I had seized the time to improve my strength, and the matter of the ancient sword had been wandering around for a few months without making an eyebrow, so I could only let it go first.

"Boss, in the future, the fourth child will be equipped with battle armor for those who have soul ability!"

When Hua Yan was fighting with Murong Xuan, he began to suffer a lot of losses, and then he suddenly remembered.

"What armor?"

Liu Haitao and Xiao Li both asked with wide eyes.

"It's like ancient armor, with a shield or something, it should be useful to deal with these mutated beasts..."

"That's right!"

Xiao Li slapped his thigh and stood up.

"These mutant rats don't have guns, we still have the Mo family's swordsmanship, with armor and shields, the effect will definitely be good!"

Xiao Li said thoughtfully.

"Good! Tomorrow, I will discuss this matter with Uncle Sihai and Uncle Cai Bin, and handle it as soon as possible, our blacksmith shop here has to be expanded, and this matter will be contracted to me! ”

Liu Haitao also nodded emphatically and said, then looked at Hua Yan and asked:

"Hua Yan, how many guns and ammunition can be brought over in the AA Special Administrative Region, and how many people can be armed?"

"Probably more than 200 people!"

Hua Yan pondered for a while and said.

"Good!"

Liu Haitao's spirit was shocked.

"Then let's gather the people on both sides as soon as possible, gather more than sixty people with soul energy, with armor and shields, and organize more than two hundred people on my side to bring guns, and fight these mutant rats when the time comes!"

Speaking of which, Liu Haitao also poured a big sip of wine, full of pride.

Human beings in the last days are living too aggrieved......

That night, the three brothers were drunk and talked until late at night, as if they were back in college before the end of the world.

In the following days, Hua Sihai and Liu Haitao found more than a dozen buses and organized a large convoy, each time they were protected by Xiao Li and their team, and they transferred the people from Han Meng's side to the cave day and night.

Although some people were contaminated with radiation, they were quickly cured by Hua Yan.

It took more than ten days to finally transfer the personnel and materials left by Murong Xuan to the cave, and at this time, the cave already had a population of seven or eight thousand, and those soul powerhouses screened by Hua Yan also gave them the Giant Wilderness Fruit.

With the arrival of Han Meng and others, the personnel management and resource allocation in the cave were put on the agenda, and at the suggestion of everyone, they were ready to set up a small town, and the name of the town was Hope Town.

Hua Yan was elected as the mayor of the town by everyone and set up a council, including Hua Yan, a total of five members, namely: Hua Yan, Liu Haitao, Hua Sihai, Han Meng, Cai Bin.

The cave initially had a basic social structure, and began to gradually develop outside the cave, and now the mouth of the valley outside the cave has been built with a stone wall and a gate.

Part of the vacant land was planted with farmland, and part of it was converted into a parking lot, and there was an underground passage in the parking lot to transfer materials and personnel to the cave.

There are also more taverns, supermarkets, mahjong parlors, libraries and other places in the cave, and people's lives have gradually improved, and their smiles have gradually increased.

The blacksmith shop has expanded several times, and hundreds of people are working every day to build armor and iron swords.

Xiao Li took more than 60 people to practice the Mo family's swordsmanship, and Hua Sihai also organized more than 200 people to become familiar with guns.

During this period of time, Hua Yan was training silently alone, he mainly trained the control of soul energy, and he could control one or two metal pieces at most before, which was not too precise.

After having the rune, he found that he could control more than three metal pieces, but after all, it was easy to mess up, and after this period of non-stop training, Hua Yan was already able to accurately control five metal pieces, which were the sharp weapons he was going to kill those mutant rats in the future.
