[64] A trickle of water

Putting down the tools, Zheng Wenlou looked at the fork in the road in two different directions.

When you think of labyrinths, the first thing that comes to mind is the complex and difficult to distinguish paths.

It's easy to get in, but it's not easy to get out, which undoubtedly adds a powerful barrier to the safe house.

In the event of an invasion, he will have enough time to deal with it.

The days passed like this, and the reinforcement project of Zheng Wenlou was also rapidly advancing inside.

The deeper you go, the more winding the road becomes, and the environment is terrifying.

Zheng Wenlou alone has walked as many as two dozen forks in the road!

Ants are a kind of magical creatures, they dig tunnels to link different chambers, the chambers are sometimes large and sometimes small, the big ones can accommodate more than a dozen people, and the small ones can also allow Zheng Wenming to live in, all kinds of strange stones appear on both sides of the cave wall, and the holes are connected layer by layer, extending in all directions! Sometimes, Zheng Wenlou wants to go to the second floor, but after turning a hole, he finds that he has reached the third floor.

It's not an exaggeration to describe an anthill as a miracle.

He once watched a show in which an entomologists who study ant habits poured solidifying liquid aluminum into ants** and ended up with a model that looked like a work of art, with a complex network system that dazzled people.

Moreover, the anthill will also reserve air inlets and air outlets, so that the air pressure difference is formed inside, so that the air flows inside, and Zheng Wenlou is in it, and he does not feel stuffy at all.

Of course, this may be the reason why he doesn't have to breathe, but even Xiaotong can be alive and kicking in it without being affected at all, which shows the professionalism of the "construction team".

Zheng Wenlou also found the location of the air outlet and air inlet, one is located on the top of the mountain, and the other is the first hole to be dug in the valley, which is not OK to dig a hole casually, it needs to be combined with internal and external air pressure to build a perfect ventilation system, otherwise how can the wind drill into it at the end of the end?

Now it's only two, and when the scale expands in the future, such holes will appear more and more in various locations in the Tree Man Valley, which also disguises the entrances and exits of anthills, whether it is good or bad Zheng Wenlou has not yet made up his mind, but multiple escape routes can always increase their own safety, isn't it?

You can come in, I can also go out from another place, at most expand the size of the beast army in the future, and when the dungeon is full of beasts that can kill people, you want to come in?

On this day, Zheng Wenlou was sitting at his desk with a notebook writing and drawing, next to a small taro and pea sprouts, these two little dots were holding a flashlight together, and lit Zheng Wenlou crookedly.

At this time, everyone was in the belly of the mountain, which was nearly two hundred meters below the bottom of the Tree Man Valley.

This is a large underground space, the area is the size of two basketball courts, the height is about ten meters, in the middle of the penultimate layer of the anthill, the whole anthill has eleven floors, according to the scale and location, it is the largest sub-room, it can also be said to be the main room, because in Zheng Wenlou's view, this is likely to be the queen's hatching room, but also the most important place in the anthill.

However, Zheng Wenlou has not found any signs of giving birth to an ant queen so far, so he has not shamelessly occupied the magpie's nest, and now he has moved most of the furniture and daily necessities here, and set up a temporary station, and now everything looks very rough, not even a little light.

The environment is a little down, but it will slowly get better in the future.

Zheng Wenlou thought secretly.

There are two floors below the main room, but they are both in the excavation stage, as for the specific purpose, he does not know the specific purpose, anyway, he does not need too many places, the black brothers like to dig and let them dig up.

At present, the first thing is that he must solve many problems in the early days of the city's construction.

.........

.........

"The reinforcement of doors A and B can be stopped, and the lanes are left alone, and the warehouse will have to be replaced, leaving space for the main room to be expanded later, but once it is opened, a lot of load-bearing timber will be needed to replace the walls. ”

On the tabletop, the faint light reflected Zheng Wenlou's shadow, and the blank paper was spread in front of him, a little messy, but full of complex structural drawings.

This is Zheng Wenlou's map drawn according to the structure of the anthill, each floor, every place has been marked by his name, the overall is divided into two areas, the detailed distribution of storage rooms, workshops, alien beast living circles, wood cultivation rooms and so on.

These places were expanded outwards with the main room as the center, and served as the basis for the construction of the central main city in the future.

In order to have a good living environment in the future, Zheng Wenlou can be said to have racked his brains, changed and changed, and tried to achieve satisfaction.

Although it is a little hard, Zheng Wenlou has always enjoyed it.

The sense of expectation that such a large area of land is planned and built by oneself is not something that ordinary people can experience.

At this time, there was already a hint of the prototype of a future dungeon in the blueprint.

"Click!"

A crisp sound echoed in the grotto, and after lighting the "tobacco", Zheng Wenlou took a beautiful puff.

"Let's go over there and see what's going on. ”

Zheng Wenlou glanced at the design drawing, most of the parts on it were marked with names, all of which were places he had been, but there were still some blank places with tunnels that he had not been.

For example, there was a crack at the very edge of the eighth floor, and for some reason the ants stopped halfway through digging, and out of curiosity and safety, he had to go and find out, and if there was no major problem, he would seal it.

Zheng Wenlou stretched his waist, then got up and hugged the sleeping Xiaotong into his stomach and put it away, in this place where he couldn't see his five fingers, he really didn't dare to let Xiaotong be alone, it was safest to stay by his side.

"Let's go, follow along, and I'll be back to cook for you later. ”

Zheng Wenlou grabbed a handful of the frost wolf clan and let the big she-wolf lead the wolves to follow him as a temporary bodyguard and helper.

Looking at so many big wolves who are "waiting to be fed", Zheng Wenlou also showed a painful expression on his face, originally he wanted to leave the wolves in the Tree Man Valley to reproduce on his own, but Xiaotong refused to let the Frost Wolf Clan leave, and the wolf cubs refused to leave the Frost Wolf Clan, he could only take them all down, and he had to include food and lodging!

Zheng Wenlou already planned to reduce the food of the wolves, and when this group of guys was hungry and dizzy, they would naturally go out to find food by themselves.

Not only the wolves, but also the children followed, and the Q boys swarmed over, jumping up and down, so lively.

Zheng Wenlou ignored it, but clipped the flashlight to the branch of the door of his head, illuminating the road ahead.

According to the direction in his memory, Zheng Wenlou soon came to the location of the crack.

It's an eerie crack with excavation marks left by the engineering team, and if you look closely, the soil here is very different from the rest of the place, but Zheng Wenlou is not a geologist and can't see anything from the soil.

After making sure that it would not collapse easily, Zheng Wenlou took steps to get in.

He was careful with every step he took, and any slight noise around him would cause him to be alert.

He brought the strange beasts over, not only to act as bodyguards, but also to rely on the nature of these strange beasts to seek good fortune and avoid harm, and the animals are much more sensitive than him.

Zheng Wenlou walked slowly, he felt that the air inside was a little different from the outside, and the further he went, the clearer this feeling became.

Suddenly, a cool breeze blew in his face, which lifted his spirits.

"It's windy. ”

"Is it another air inlet?"

Zheng Wenlou only hesitated for a moment and continued to walk forward, and soon, a strange sound caught his attention, which stood out in the quiet space.

Drip...

Drip...

Drip...

"It's... The sound of water?"

How can there be water in this place?!

Zheng Wenlou listened carefully, his face changed suddenly, such a discovery made him immediately speed up his pace, and after he went deeper for dozens of meters, the soil on the stone wall became wet...

When he turned a corner, the space in front of him suddenly became extremely open.

Drip...

Drip...

Drip...

"This is..."

Zheng Wenlou stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the scenery below with a shocked face.

It's an underground river!

No wonder the engineering team stopped digging, no wonder the tunnel here looks like an unfinished project.

Damn, next to the ant nest, there is an underground river under the valley of the tree man!

"I should have thought of it, I should have thought of it a long time ago, otherwise how could there be a waterhole in the Valley of the Tree Guys..."

The sudden situation made Zheng Wenlou fall into a state of trance...
