Night.

Chu Guang slept very unsteadily, waking up several times during this time, touching the gun hidden in the sleeping bag with his hand before falling asleep intermittently again.

It was so comfortable in the vault that he didn't have to worry about any danger at all, so that he couldn't adapt to the sudden return to such an unstable environment.

"Slacking off."

Chu Guang sighed, and unconsciously touched the gun hidden in the quilt, the thick and long barrel was full of security.

I don't know what happened to the players.

Although he and Xiaoqi have explained what to do when they are not there, they are not there, and they can't let go after all.

Sleeping until five o'clock in the morning and waking up, Chu Guang couldn't sleep, so he just kept his eyes open and waited quietly.

It wasn't until it was dark outside the window that he got out of his sleeping bag, got dressed, and carried a steel pipe and a gun he had just bought.

This time I went out, and I guess I had to come back after a long time.

The mayor's collection made him have to advance the plan to move, and all preparations had to be completed by the end of the month.

If you can't stock up on enough supplies for a hundred people, you'll have to wait until February or March next year for the next round of testing.

It had to be abandoned all winter.

Push open the door.

Chu Guang, who had sorted out his equipment, was about to set off, and happened to meet the men of the Wang family.

Wang Defu, who was doing something at his door yesterday, glanced at him and didn't say a word, but his eyes were a little provocative.

Maybe it's because his father and eldest brother and second brother are all next to him, plus the guy who is hunting on his back, his courage is obviously a lot bigger than yesterday, and it seems to be a bit of a show off.

Of course, Chu Guang would not be as knowledgeable as a little child.

The sixteen-year-old boy was already a man in charge of Bate Street, but in his eyes, he was just a child who had not grown all his hair.

"Hey, don't you die."

Chu Guang ignored it, didn't even glance at him.

The child of the Wang family was angry, gritted his teeth, and blushed, and the ignorance of this stranger made him feel humiliated.

However, just as he was about to make an irrational act and provoke, the eldest brother next to him suddenly put his hand on his shoulder.

Although he was still a little resentful, Wang Defu quickly became honest.

It could be seen that the boy listened to his brother.

Chu Guang glanced at the eldest son of the Wang family, and the powerful man was also looking at him.

From that person's body, Chu Guang sensed a faint danger, but it was not obvious.

Interestingly, when observing him, there was also a clear hint of surprise on the man's face, although it was carefully hidden.

The hunter's intuition –

This guy is not easy to deal with!

After a brief eye contact, both sides quickly looked away.

There is no need to cause unnecessary trouble.

The people of the Wang family walked away.

Chu Guang was also ready to go.

At this time, a crisp voice came from behind him.

"Be careful on the road."

Chu Guang stopped and turned around, and saw that Xiao Yu was hiding behind the door and peeking at him.

Smiling, Chu Guang said lightly.

"Well, thank you."

"No, you don't."

In the blink of an eye, the little girl slipped back into the house and disappeared.

……

At six o'clock in the morning, it was almost dawn.

The gates of Bate Street slowly opened, and the survivors, carrying baskets, bows and arrows, short knives, crossbows, and other equipment, walked in groups towards the devastated ruins on the cracked concrete pavement and weeds emerging from the cracks.

It's just that today, two hundred years later, it's not so easy to find good things in the wasteland, and the occasional bullet casing dropped by mercenaries or marauders can be regarded as treasure.

Chu Guang did not leave the settlement immediately, but spent a while at the door, and waited for everyone to go away before going to Old Charlie's recycling station.

"I need 7 kilos of barley, which is 21 chips. There are also tobacco leaves for cured meat...... How much can I get for a 4? Chu Guang didn't buy it, so he asked.

"One or two at one."

"Then come four taels!"

Food is the key to development.

Only by preparing more food can you recruit more players to work for yourself.

It is impossible for the survivors to drink green wheat and make porridge every day, and even if they can bear it, they can't bear it themselves.

Now with guns, hunting is much easier than before.

Chu Guang planned to buy some tobacco leaves and go back, and make the meat that he couldn't eat into pickled products, which he kept as a reserve for the winter.

Old Charlie lowered his eyelids.

"I remember you bought five kilograms of barley a few days ago."

"Any questions?" Chu Guang replied casually.

Old Charlie grinned.

"It's nothing, it's good to save more money."

Chu Guang, who was planning for the future, suddenly became alert in his heart.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.

He suddenly realized a problem.

I hadn't brought back useful garbage or other harvests for a while, but I had bought a lot of supplies twice in a row.

The mayor may not notice his little person, but others will inevitably wonder where he got so much money.

But old Charlie didn't say anything, maybe he didn't care at all, helped him weigh the grain, and sent him out of the door with a smile.

"Careless......"

After exiting the gate of Bet Street and turning a corner, Chu Guang breathed a sigh of relief, stopped and observed for a while before continuing forward.

More than 10 chips can be a lot of money for waste pickers, who usually can't save money.

However, twice in a row, he took out a huge amount of more than 20 chips to buy materials that he couldn't consume in a short time.

Old Charlie was kind to himself, after all, he came out of the shelter, but he was the mayor's servant after all.

Thinking of this, Chu Guang couldn't help frowning.

It's a pity that the merchant named Liszt only collects grain, and sells all the industrial products of Boulder City.

Perhaps, I should try my luck at Brown Farm.

……

Seven kilograms of barley and ten liters of drinking water, plus bullets and equipment, weighed more than twenty kilograms, and weighed heavily on the shoulders.

In addition to carrying things, Chu Guang also had to carefully conserve his physical strength and beware of the dangers lurking in the shadows.

Even if there was an extraordinary strength hidden in his muscles, he could only walk for a while, stop for a while, observe the road conditions, and then move on.

The road outside the settlement is not easy to walk, and sometimes you have to bypass the collapsed road and cross the collapsed high-rise buildings.

Chu Guang suddenly envied the protagonists in "The End of Beauty" and "Dying Light", who could carry a lot of things on their backs to parkour in the ruins, and he could only walk step by step.

Maybe......

Should I buy a cow next time?

I just don't know if Liszt's guy sells it or not.

Fortunately, none of the xenos he encountered along the way found him.

Walk through the ruins.

After walking along the road for a while, before half past eight in the morning, Chu Guang finally arrived at the sanatorium located in the wetland park.

However, to Chu Guang's surprise, when he arrived, he found that all four closed beta players had gone online.

And that's not all.

Outside the walls of the sanatorium, there were four half-man-high earthen stoves and a hemispherical earthen kiln about a person-high.

This......

What is it?

He didn't remember the task of building a stove.

"Administrator! You're finally back. Looking at the surprised manager, Fang Chang stepped forward with a smile and said.

"I was out there for a night," staring intently at the stoves, Chu Guang even forgot to put the things he was carrying on his back, "...... What's the situation on your end? Have you encountered xenomorphs or other survivors? ”

"Everything works! There are no surprises! ”

Fang Chang reported their work to Chu Guang with a red face.

The four half-man-high furnaces were used for charcoal, and the stove with a blast outlet next to it was used to calcine the coarse material of cement at high temperatures.

"We burn the bark into plant ash, then add it to water and stir it to filter out the potash water on the top, and the remaining mud squeezes out the water to get calcium hydroxide and calcium carbonate to make cement."

"Then, we add these raw materials to the blast furnace and calcine them to orange and red, then mix them with the sand picked up by the river, add water and mix well, and we get grass and wood ash cement!"

it?

To be honest, Chu Guang was shocked by the hands-on ability of these players.

It's not that he hasn't tried to make cement with grass ash mixed with mud before, and he still uses the method of forced teaching, but the things he makes will break as soon as he is pinched, and it won't be useful at all.

Looking at it now, it turns out that my own method is wrong.

Is the key to blast furnace and secondary calcination?

There is also the purity of the plant ash......

Fang Chang's mouth didn't stop, and he continued.

“…… We plan to use cement to repair the walls of the nursing home! By the way, we also collected the filtered potash water in containers, which can be used to tann leather, which is very useful! ”

"You ...... Very well done. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Chu Guang didn't think of what to reward these players for, and he only wanted to come up with such a word of praise.

However, when Fang Chang heard this, his whole person became excited.

It's up!

Favorability!

It's definitely going up!

Not missing this opportunity, Fang Chang read out the lines he had been thinking about all night with a serious face.

"For the continuation of civilization!"

"It's an honor to share your worries!"

“……”

Chu Guang suddenly didn't know how to face him.

Compared to themselves, these players are too noble.

"Well said...... For the continuation of civilization, and for the future of all of us. ”

Coughing, Chu Guang maintained a majestic expression, looked at the excited player and continued, "I'll go down and put the supplies down, your plan is very good...... Don't worry, do it boldly! ”

Fang Chang's waist was straight, and he said energetically.

"Yes, Administrator!"

"You should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest, don't be too tired." Chu Guang instructed.

It's not that they find out because of their conscience or anything, but because they're worried that these players are pushing too hard and overdrawing their enthusiasm too early.

However, the player doesn't seem to appreciate his good intentions and shows his loyalty with his head held high.

"It is our mission to serve you, and this is also my declaration under the banner of the People's Federation!"

Hearing this, Chu Guang almost didn't hold back.

The declaration is OK......

Have you ever seen what the human flag looks like?

“…… Okay, very energetic, go for it. ”

Watching the player trot away, Chu Guang sighed silently in his heart.

In the end, your own worries are unnecessary.
