Chapter 485: Intention to Settle In
To the west of Ningqiu City is a forest that has been specially spawned.
After passing through the forest, we continue westward to a mountain range of mountains.
Zhang Min has brought people here to explore for a distance, there are many mutated creatures in the mountains, there are also a lot of medicinal materials, and even, at the foot of several mountains, there are still traces of some mineral veins.
If you go southwest, after crossing the mountains, you will reach Han Son Province, and of course, under normal circumstances, no one will choose this extremely bumpy mountain road.
Ever since the druids spawned a whole giant forest from a few small forests to the west of the base, mutated creatures have frequently escaped from the mountains and come to the forests to survive.
Not long ago, Jiang Xin, the temporary city lord of Ningqiu City, suffered an assassination operation, which made the leadership of Ningqiu City begin to pay attention to the strength of the city guards.
After a small meeting, the task of the city guard became heavy.
He Rong and Ye Xiang are not only responsible for the security issues in the base, but also have to guard the city gate, insist on training, and even have an additional task to go out to improve their level.
Although at the beginning, the city guards were tired and miserable, but after a few outings, they were full of joy.
There is no other reason, naturally after going out, they not only improved their own strength, but also obtained a lot of various materials, which greatly improved their living conditions.
However, the city guards have gone out a few times, but they have not gained much, after all, they can't leave Ningqiu City too far, resulting in the nearby zombies and supplies have been looted by them.
A few days ago, Liu Lin found He Rong and Ye Xiang and discussed it once, and after consulting Jiang Xin, they put the destination of their outing in the forest west of the base!
Here, there is a steady stream of mutated creatures, and if you encounter a critical situation, you can also ask the base for help.
Jiang Xin originally disagreed, but Liu Ruxu pointed out that the forest was too close to the base, and if the mutated creatures in it were overflowing, it would definitely endanger the survivors in the base!
Therefore, Jiang Xincai, under the persuasion of Liu Ruxu, agreed to He Rong's plan and the three.
It turns out that Liu Ruxu is right!
On the first day, when He Rong and his subordinates came to the forest to clean up mutant creatures, they were caught off guard by the large number of mutant creatures inside.
Even, after resisting for half an hour, He Rong couldn't help it and asked the base for help.
Think about it, the number of mutated creatures in the forest is so terrifying, if they are allowed to develop, it won't be long before this forest can't satisfy them.
After Jiang Xin received He Rong's request for help, she immediately made a decision and sent Zhang Yunxian, Cai Yaqi, and He Xing, and asked them to bring nearly 2,000 mages to support He Rong.
With the addition of these nearly 2,000 mages, those mutated creatures naturally didn't make any trouble, and they were all killed, providing a large amount of meat for the base, as well as a large number of sub-class raw materials.
Since then, the city guards' outing missions have gradually stabilized, and their strength has steadily improved.
But today, it was Ye Xiang's turn to take his subordinates, and after they came to the outside of the forest, a light rain began to fall in the sky.
Ye Xiang looked west into the distance and found that on the mountain to the west, there were large dark clouds, which were slowly drifting.
After thinking about it again, he gave up today's mission and returned to the base with his men.
When Ye Xiang and his city guards rushed back to the north gate of the base in the rain, outside the south gate of the base, He Rong ushered in a group of survivors, numbering about thousands.
……
Recently, there are meat and vegetarian food in the base, and in addition, Ma Yi is still in the business alliance, and a large number of living materials have been brought on credit, which has made the living conditions in Ningqiu City become better all of a sudden.
He Rongzheng took a few of his subordinates to inspect the various city gates, and he couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic for a few days since he hadn't played cards.
However, nostalgia is nostalgia, and He Rong does not dare to relax his efforts to inspect the city gates.
You must know that the last time Jiang Xin was attacked, it was only more than a week ago, and Chu Chen was about to come back, God knows how to punish the city guards when Chu Chen came back and knew about this matter.
If you are in the limelight at this time, hehe, it will really be dead!
"What a commander! Outside the city gate in the south, a team of thousands of survivors appeared! ”
He Rong, who felt that he was a little bored inspecting the city gate, suddenly heard the shouts of a city guard not far behind him, and he suddenly shouted in surprise: "What? Another survivor is coming? Fast! Go find the lord of the castle and come here! ”
After the order blurted out, He Rong reacted, didn't he just call Jiang Xin last time to make trouble?
Some cold sweat broke out on his back, and He Rong immediately waved his hand and shouted, "No!" Don't go yet! Don't go to the castle lord! Let's go and see the situation first, and then make a decision! ”
Subsequently, He Rong led a group of his men to the south gate of the city.
Outside the city gate on the south side, thousands of survivors gathered, and several of them were still standing at the city gate, explaining something to a few guards guarding the city gate.
Seeing He Rong leading people over, among the few people at the gate of the city, a man came out and shouted excitedly at He Rong: "Ah! It's you! You, you're the one next to Boss Chu, who's that? ”
He Rong was speechless for a while, but seeing that the man seemed to be a little familiar, he still asked, "Do you know me?" Do you still know Boss Chu? Who are you? ”
The man was extremely excited, dancing and shouting, "I'm Shen Xing, Shen Xing from Jiangjiu City!" In Jiangjiu City, Boss Chu also helped us slay the dragon! ”
As soon as he heard the name 'Shen Xing', He Rong remembered him: "Oh~! I remember, when we passed by Jiangjiu City, you also set up a whole fish banquet and invited us to come! ”
Shen Xing nodded again and again, echoing He Rong and said, "Yes, yes, then the whole fish banquet tastes good, right?" Haha, don't worry, there will be a chance to eat a whole fish feast in the future, and this time, even the chef brought it together! ”
Shen Xing thought that He Rong would be overjoyed, but he didn't want to, He Rong frowned slightly, and said with disgust: "Shen Xing, it's not me talking about you, your all-fish banquet is really far worse than the all-fish banquet in Qinjia Village!" There's still a lot to learn! ”
Shen Xing suddenly looked embarrassed, although he didn't know what Qinjia Village was, he could only smile reluctantly, and nodded in response: "Hey, yes, yes, I will definitely urge them, practice more in the future, and ensure that the taste of cooking will get better and better!" ”
After chatting for a while, He Rong remembered to ask the right thing: "By the way, Shen Xing, didn't you stay well in Jiangjiu City?" Why did you run to Ningqiu City? ”
Shen Xing wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed in his heart: Uncle! You're my uncle, okay, your old man finally remembered to ask about it!
After a few words, Shen Xing asked He Rong respectfully, "I don't know, Boss Chu, does he have time?" We want to get his consent and settle down in Ningqiu City! ”
"Planning to settle down again?"
He Rong muttered in a low voice, looked at the thousands of people behind Shen Xing, and felt that there was no big problem, before he said to Shen Xing: "Our Boss Chu has something to go out, it is estimated that it will take a few days to come back, you just wait here, I will go and invite our city lord over!" ”
Shen Xing was stunned and asked in surprise, "Huh? Chu Chen, isn't he the city lord? ”
He Rong smiled and explained: "Didn't I tell you?" Our Chu boss has something to go out, and the current city lord is ...... Well, why should I explain this to you? Just wait here, I'll be back in a minute! ”
Shen Xing naturally didn't dare to ask more, and after nodding in response, he turned around and told the others a few words.
……
It didn't take long for Jiang Xin to take Liu Ruxu and hurriedly walked towards the south city gate.
Far away, Jiang Xin shouted to Shen Xing: "Uncle Shen, what kind of wind blew you here?" ”
Seeing Jiang Xin trotting over with a large number of city guards, Shen Xing couldn't believe it, and asked in a daze, "Jiang... Miss Jiang Xin? You—You're the lord of the city? ”
Jiang Xin's face flushed when she heard this, and she was a little embarrassed.
She smiled at Shen Xing and nodded, stretched out her hand to the city and said, "Uncle Shen, let's go in and talk, I don't know what's going on, it hasn't rained for a long time, and there is a light rain today!" ”
Shen Xing was flattered, nodded hurriedly, and followed Jiang Xin towards the city.
At the same time, he didn't forget to look back and confirm that the other villagers had followed up, so he was relieved.
