Chapter 459: Wasteland Reclamation Blocked
"Yes! Be! Boss Chu, the old slave must do it well! ”
Seeing that Fang Wei was no longer as dead as ashes, Chu Chen turned to talk about business: "Old Fang, you know, right?" Old man Zhang is the leader of the branch of the business alliance in Ningqiu City. Therefore, I want to set up a special caravan, which belongs to our own caravan in Ningqiu City, to connect with Mr. Zhang on business affairs, do you have any suitable candidates? ”
"Forming a caravan?"
Fang Wei asked himself in a low voice, and after thinking about it carefully, he suggested to Chu Chen: "Boss Chu, what do you think, how is Ma Yi?" ”
When Chu Chen heard this, his brows furrowed, and he asked, "Ma Yi?" Tsunezuru's wife? Does she have experience in this area? What did she do before the disaster? ”
Fang Wei smiled bitterly and explained to Chu Chen: "Boss Chu, she doesn't have any experience in business, and before the disaster, she only opened a small restaurant. Recommend her to you, the old slave is also helpless, the old members of our team basically have no talent for business. ”
Chu Chen shook his head and sighed helplessly: "Okay, then let her pick a few survivors and form a caravan, anyway, it's just to connect with Zhang Lao, there is a business alliance, and I don't plan to seriously develop business." ”
Fang Wei nodded and responded: "Okay, Boss Chu, I will inform Ma Yi, and in addition, I will go and talk to Chang He first." ”
Chu Chen 'um', thought about it, and asked Fang Wei again: "Since it's all said and done, do you have a suitable candidate in mind for the person who will take your place?" ”
Glancing at Chu Chen, Fang Wei hesitated for a moment, and then suggested to Chu Chen: "Boss Chu, in fact, the old slave thinks that if you can let Miss Jiang come forward to manage the affairs of Ningqiu City, it is the most suitable choice!" ”
Chu Chen frowned and asked worriedly, "Sister Xin?" Can she? ”
Seeing Chu Chen's frowning, Fang Wei hurriedly explained: "Boss Chu, Miss Jiang doesn't have to worry too much, you can find a few subordinates for her, and delegate the affairs and power in your hands to them, as long as in the end, Miss Jiang can sign it." ”
Even if Fang Wei said this, Chu Chen still couldn't put his mind at ease, shook his head and said, "Let's take a look again, you let Ma Yi set up the caravan first, there are too many materials needed in the base!" ”
Fang Wei nodded and asked Chu Chen, "Okay, Boss Chu." However, if we have been looking for credit from the business alliance, if they are disgusted and withdraw from our Ningqiu City, then what should we do? ”
Chu Chen smiled, looking confident, Fang Wei waved his hand and comforted: "Old Fang, don't worry, wait for Chang He and them to train for a period of time, I naturally have a way to solve this problem!" ”
Seeing that Chu Chen had already planned, Fang Wei didn't say more.
……
A day later, Zhang Yuan led more than 300 earth magicians to complete the construction of the pedestrian street and began to build the city wall.
It is worth mentioning that many of the more than 300 earth-based magicians who had previously chosen to stay in the Peace Forest.
However, Zhang Yuan saw the construction of Ningqiu City and urgently needed a large number of earth-based magicians, so the subordinates he selected were basically earth-based magicians.
This led to the increase in the number of Zhang Yuan's construction team!
Four days later, Zhang Yuan and others completed the construction of the city wall and began to design, the flood control forest area and the flood control lake in the west of Ningqiu City.
For this reason, Zhang Yuan also specially consulted Chu Chen and obtained the power to deploy the more than 5,000 druids at any time.
On this day, the number of sweet potato vines spawned by Xiao Qi and others exceeded half of Chu Chen's estimated total.
Therefore, Chu Chen directly ordered the more than 20,000 ordinary survivors who were willing to engage in farming to start reclaiming wasteland in the east of Ningqiu City and preparing to plant a large number of sweet potatoes.
It's just that on the first day of land reclamation, something happened!
……
Early in the morning, Chu Chen was worried about the clearing of wasteland, so at seven o'clock, he got up with his clothes on.
Seeing that Chu Chen was busy with the construction of the base in the past few days, the number of sighs and sighs was obviously much less, and Jiang Xin had a slight smile on his face.
But Jiang Xin's heart is still very clear: Chu Chen's heart still yearns for freedom, if it weren't for the concern in his heart, he wouldn't let himself be trapped by the base.
After Chu Chen finished his personal hygiene, it was already close to eight o'clock, so he had to hurriedly run to the canteen, wanting to get a few steamed buns and hurry to the east of the base to have a look.
But he didn't want to, as soon as Chu Chen arrived at the door of the cafeteria, he heard a few exclamations from the east gate of the base!
"Come on! Monster! There are monsters! ”
"There are dragons! There are earth dragons! Quick, go and inform Boss Chu! ”
Hearing this voice, where could Chu Chen still care about having breakfast? In an instant, the ink feather behind him unfolded, and flew quickly outside the east gate.
When Chu Chen flew out of the east gate, he found that the 'earth dragon' in the mouths of these ordinary survivors was nothing more than a mutated earthworm.
Mutant earthworms are not a cause for Chu Chen, Chu Chen, who has not seen them for a long time, is about to forget about them.
But for the ordinary survivors of these farming lands, I am afraid that compared with the dragon, the mutant earthworm is not much different, after all, it is a death anyway.
With a wave of his hand, he summoned the bone dragon, and Chu Chen commanded the bone dragon in his heart, asking them to catch the mutated earthworms outside the city and burn them to death.
After the two bone dragons caught two mutant earthworms respectively, the other mutant earthworms escaped into the ground and did not dare to show their heads again.
But they are alive after all, as long as they are there, Chu Chen's plan to plant a large area cannot be implemented!
Staring at the dozen or so big holes, Chu Chen's brows furrowed, trying to find a solution that could completely solve them.
It's a pity that after more than ten minutes passed, more than two bone dragons flew back, and even Chang He had counted the casualties and came to Chu Chen's side, but Chu Chen still had no clue.
"Boss Chu, thirty-two people were swallowed by mutated earthworms, in addition, four people were seriously injured, and more than a dozen people were slightly injured."
After Chang He reported the casualties to Chu Chen, he hesitated for a while, and continued to say to Chu Chen: "In addition, when I counted the casualties, I heard many people say that they want to return to the Peace Forest. ”
Originally, Chu Chen was a little helpless against the mutant earthworms, but now when he heard that these ordinary survivors still wanted to leave, he was immediately annoyed: "Who is leaving?" Register and let them go, but since they are gone, they will no longer be welcomed in Ningqiu City in the future! ”
After speaking, Chu Chen turned around and wanted to leave.
Chang He chased after him for two steps and asked Chu Chen, "Boss Chu, then, what about these people?" Do you want to continue to open up wasteland? ”
Chu Chen turned around, hesitated for a moment on his face, and ordered Chang He: "Continue to open up the wasteland!" However, let them set aside a piece of land for my bone dragon to entrench, and as long as I don't come up with a solution, my bone dragon will always stay there! ”
Chang He nodded in response and watched Chu Chen leave.
……
After leaving from the East City Gate, Chu Chen found Zhang Yuan and invited him to have breakfast again, and by the way, he also wanted to ask him some questions about earth magicians.
The two changed to a canteen, and it was the same as before, with a bowl of porridge and two steamed buns per person.
Actually, Chu Chen also wanted to entertain Zhang Yuan well, but there was no way, in Ningqiu City, there was nothing now, even rice and flour were bought from the Business Alliance.
After taking a few bites, Chu Chen asked Zhang Yuan: "Uncle Zhang, before I came to you, the survivors of the wasteland had an accident, and thirty-two people died!" ”
"What!?"
The incident had just happened, and Zhang Yuan naturally didn't know: "What's going on?" Didn't I take men and build the walls? It's just a wasteland, how can so many people die? ”
Sighing, Chu Chen explained to Zhang Yuan: "Around this Ningqiu City, there is a special mutated creature, which is mutated from earthworms, called earthworms. ”
Zhang Yuan was so shocked that he forgot to bite the steamed bun for a while, and asked Chu Chen, "Worm newt?" From underground? What is the strength of this mutant creature? Has it been wiped out now? ”
Hearing Zhang Yuan ask a few questions in a row, Chu Chen understood that Zhang Yuan really cared about Ningqiu City.
Shaking his head, Chu Chen replied to Zhang Yuan and said, "Alas! Their attributes are actually not too strong, but they come from the underground, and their movement speed under the ground is very amazing! Even if I could easily kill any of them, I can't wipe them all out! ”
Zhang Yuan frowned and sighed: "In this way, it will be troublesome!" ”
