Chapter 83: Life Has Hope

The seven men rummaged through the ruins of the town all morning, and in the afternoon returned to the manor with all the metal, iron, and farm tools they had found.

As soon as they returned to the manor, they began to repeat the work again.

All the trees that were crushed and hit nearby had to be dragged back to the manor to dry, and some of the thicker and straighter branches also needed to be sharpened to make a horse to act as a fence for the manor.

The horse is a wooden obstacle that can be moved, and it is a kind of obstacle equipment. In the third dynasty of the Xia Shang dynasty, there was an early rejection of horses, that is, the wooden pillars were cross-fixed into a shelf, and the shelf was inlaid with blades and thorns. It was used to block gates and prevent pedestrians from passing, and later it was used in combat to stop and delay the movement of enemy horses and to kill and injure the enemy.

The stakes are crossed, and the stable triangular structure will make it difficult for creatures who want to crash into the horse.

Most of the larger tree branches were made into horse rejection, and they could only barely block the main entrance of the original manor, and a lot of wood was needed to cover the entire perimeter of the manor with horse rejection.

After lunch, it was another busy afternoon.

After repairing the hoe, Xiang En polished the hoe with a grinding stone and ran to hoe happily.

He knocked the broken stones of the round flower bed to about the same size, surrounded a field of about twenty square meters with stones, and then planted all the unknown seeds that Naka found in the town to see what would grow in the end.

Those corn kernels and wheat seeds will be divided into a large field for planting, and the sense of accomplishment and joy that grows in the field just thinking about it will continue to bubble up.

Three days passed in such a peaceful life, and during these three days, the work content of the seven people was basically the same, cutting wood, farming, rejecting horses, and making totems.

In three days, Xiang En carved a forbidden vine totem and placed it in the middle of the experimental field to prevent something that was not long-sighted from taking care of the vegetables in the field.

The laying of the horses was also carried out in an orderly manner, and the movable barricades had replaced the collapsed wall on the side of the manor gate as a simple fortification.

After that, Xiang En's seeing that there was enough wood to pile up, he asked the others to join in the work of clearing the farmland.

Seven men ploughed six acres of land, and there were plenty of corn seeds and wheat seeds, leaving one acre of land for Xiang En, and the remaining three acres of wheat and two acres of corn.

Two days after planting, they began to repair the canals.

Xiang En plans to divide the water from a stream that flows into a small lake behind the manor and guide the manor to be used as a water source for watering crops.

This method is much better than going to the small lake every day to fetch water, or using well water.

Besides, Xiang En also saw that the lake was soaked in a lot of corpses, and Xiang En didn't dare to touch it anyway.

After drawing the route, the work of digging the canal was directly handed over to Naka and them, and Xiang En and Andrea chopped wood together to make an oversized forbidden vine totem.

This is a big project, because the totem that Xiang En wants to make is eight meters high and the base is ten meters in diameter.

On the first day of making the totem, it took a whole day to process dozens of tree stumps, cut them into polygons, and put them together to form a circular base about one and a half meters high, and it took three days for subsequent modifications to meet the standards.

Then there are the carvings of hollowed-out vine balls that make your scalp tingle when you look at them, and these vines take longer to carve.

Because the wood is stunned, but the vines twist and turn like noodles, the carving is modular, which requires him to carefully carve each part.

After a rough calculation, Xiang En would need to polish at least close to two hundred curved wooden parts to complete the combination of giant forbidden vines.

It's a terrifying amount of work, and just thinking about it can be a headache.

If the bending angle of each piece of wood is not suitable, it may need to be rebuilt, and if it is done wrong, it will have to be rebuilt.

The construction of the giant forbidden vine was extended indefinitely, and it was not until three days later that Naka and the others finished digging the canal, and Xiang En had not yet taken care of all the parts.

After the canal is dug, Xiang En has to continue to arrange new jobs for Naka and them.

The new job is to find the ant nest and turn the ant nest into a coating to make the drain smooth and waterproof.

When digging an ant's nest for the first time, Xiang En watched with a torch, worried that the ants would also become infected.

But he was overwhelmed, and the ants were basically dead, which made him discover a problem that had been ignored.

Insects in nature seem to have disappeared......

This is a very serious problem, and the sudden loss of a piece of the food chain can cause a chain reaction.

But then Xiang En thought about it again, most of the creatures in the whole world have become zombies, why does he still care about the food chain is complete?

As soon as he thought of this, Xiang En put his mind at ease and continued to carve his totem, which was a big deal to manually pollinate at that time.

After the ant nest was completed, Xiang En hadn't done a totem yet, and he felt that his project would take at least two weeks.

As time passed, the foundations were slowly completed, the canal was completed, and the water purified by the mountain flow flowed from the edge of the manor, circled the manor, and then joined the stream again.

With the water of the stream, the crops in the fields also grow green shoots.

Although farming is a technical job, life has its own way of survival, they only need to intervene manually to make him grow better, and they don't need to pay attention all the time.

Looking at the food growing in the field, Naka and the others, who had been busy for half a month, also had hope for life, and their eyes shone with hope.

Even more gratifying are the rats in the basement, many of which have been artificially paired with females who are pregnant, and one of them, who has been pregnant for a long time, gave birth to six mice with a little bigger fingers.

Maybe it won't be long before they can eat fresh meat!

Busy time often passed quickly, and the construction process of the giant forbidden vine was much longer than Xiang En thought, and it took him a full month to carve every detail of the totem.

After meeting the carrying standards of the Forbidden Vine Totem, he drained all the magic power in his body, and temporarily used the skill of Magic Surging to barely complete the elemental shaping of the totem, and also obtained several skill points to improve skill proficiency.

The giant totem, which is eight meters high and ten meters wide, has finally been completed, all the traces of the splicing have disappeared, and the whole has also turned into a dark green color under the influence of magic, and the aura emitted is like being one with nature.

Xiang En didn't activate the totem at the first time, he asked Naka and the others to clean up the center of the house that had been knocked out of a big hole, and prepared to put the vines on top of the basement, so that it was safe!

The two-day period of weakness was over, and Naka and the others cleared out the rubble.

Xiang En asked several people to work together to move the totem into the center of the two still strong building ruins, and then injected a little magic power to activate the totem.
