Chapter 12: It's Coming!
The people were shocked when they walked out of the door, they all clearly remembered what their territory looked like when they first came, but now it has only been more than an hour, and it has rained heavily, not only the courtyard of the territory has become much larger, but even the center of the territory has also changed greatly.
You Yuan didn't tell them much about the territory upgrade, just mentioned it in passing. He felt that if he said it, these people might not be able to understand it, but would feel very weird, and even cause unnecessary trouble.
After the work was arranged, people got busy.
The new people were in a good mood at this time, they were already immersed in the pain of losing their families, and they were still afraid that they would be attacked by foreign gangsters and wild beasts at any time. Now, with the protection of the new lord, they have lived in a new house, and they have heard the lord say that they will work hard and build them new houses in the future, and they all rekindle their hope for a new life.
There are two pregnant women and an old woman who are one-person households, and You Yuan didn't let them participate in these outside work, so he let them do what they could, such as cooking for everyone. Also involved in this work are another pregnant woman and two elderly people in their seventies, who are more than enough to cope with these simple tasks after You Yuan's treatment.
The most important thing in the territory at the moment is to build a defense system first.
Today is already the second day, and the system does not specify how long the novice protection period will end, so we must try to seize all the time to prepare for defense, in case the system protection suddenly disappears and is caught off guard.
Each primary defensive turret requires 6 Wood squares, 6 Stone, and 3 Iron Bars. Compared with ordinary houses, it costs a lot of money, especially iron ingots, and the iron ore dug from the iron ore needs to be taken to the ironworks for processing in order to obtain iron ingots.
As a lord, you need to be responsible for the overall work of the territory, from the safety of the people and yourself, to eating, drinking, and Lazar. Taking advantage of the time when the materials were not ready, You Yuan found Lao He and several old people, and inquired in detail about agricultural planting, and the conclusion he got made him a little surprised.
Originally, seeing that these aborigines looked similar to the Chinese people in the previous life, he thought that it must be based on farming, but who would have thought that after listening to their farming process and people's livelihood conditions, You Yuan felt that his brain was a little unable to turn around.
Lao He said that they generally sprinkle seeds on flat ground in the spring, and then let them grow, and in the autumn if they are lucky, they will harvest a batch of grain.
However, these alone are not enough to eat, people's daily food mainly depends on going out to hunt and gathering, and they will also raise some poultry, but it also depends on luck, sometimes I don't know why all the poultry dies.
You Yuan compared the Chinese history of his previous life, and felt that the farming skills of these people probably couldn't even catch up with the Warring States Period.
To be honest, although he lived to be twenty-seven years old in his previous life, almost all of his energy was spent on the battlefield, and even after he was born, it was rare to see a complete field on the earth, which was infected by the zombie virus.
When I was studying, I saw some descriptions and images of people about farming from books and historical materials, and now I can only rely on my memory to draw cats and tigers. It seems that these aborigines, who depend entirely on the sky for food, are going to start from scratch, but not now.
After chatting for a while, the mapping work is basically the same. Looking at the description of the system's materials, the harvested materials are enough to build an arrow tower. All the foundation surfaces have been opened up before the rain has completely stopped at the beginning, and now they are built from both sides of the gate.
You Yuan took the arranged manpower and began to build the first arrow tower.
This batch of tools was built by him himself just after the ironworks were built, and the number was limited, and he planned to build a batch after the construction of this batch of arrow towers, but now the manpower is too tight.
If it was one person, it would take three hours to build a primary defensive arrow tower, but now, including You Yuan, there are five or six people in total, and there are three older children in the middle who can help run errands and do some odd jobs, so it can be built in less than half an hour.
The range of the arrow tower is 100 meters, and the consumables are wood, that is, the arrow tower shoots wooden arrows, which are purely physical attacks.
In the process of building the first arrow tower, the accumulated materials were enough to build the second one, and so one after another, until ten o'clock in the evening, all twelve arrow towers were completed.
Everyone in the territory had a barbecue together, and now they have settled down.
After eating, the sun is about to go down, You Yuan always feels that this novice period is inevitably too quiet, except for a group of horned dragons yesterday, and an uninvited guest at night, it seems that there is no danger, this is not normal!
Sure enough, just as everyone was about to go home to rest, the golden red sun in the distance was gradually blocked by a group of overwhelming black shadows, which became bigger and bigger, and You Yuan felt a creepy killing intent coming towards the territory.
Fortunately, after finishing work early today, You Yuan asked everyone to prepare the wood needed for the arrow tower, and then closed the gate.
At this time, several people had already noticed it, and in order to avoid panic, You Yuan immediately organized everyone to go home to avoid danger, and told them not to come out no matter what happened.
Now there is only one person in the territory who is a professional, and in the face of these vicious demonic beasts, the strength of ordinary people seems too insignificant.
"How do you find a professional to land for? Or let ordinary people become professionals! You Yuan looked at the dark shadows in the sky that were getting closer and closer, and secretly wrinkled his eyebrows in thought.
After watching the last leader return to the house, You Yuan summoned his staff and stared at the group of black shadows with full attention.
When he saw the face of the comer, You Yuan was shocked, he originally thought that it looked black just because he was far away, but now when he got closer, he found that these things were originally black, and they were too big!
[Giant Bat Monster, ferocious by nature, level 5-7, good at sonic attacks, can stun and lose combat effectiveness of attack targets, the number is unknown. 】
About three seconds after the system prompt arrived, You Yuan heard a deafening chirp and surrounded the territory, and then the first bat monsters within the defensive range of the arrow tower had been attacked.
You Yuan stood in the courtyard of the territory and looked up to observe, the power of the arrows shot by the arrow tower was a little unexpected.
I thought how powerful the wooden arrow could be! If it weren't for the initial system protection, he would really have to sweat.
But when the first bat monster entered the shooting range appeared, I saw a "bang" on the top of the arrow tower closest to it, and flew straight out of a wooden arrow with a diameter of about ten centimeters and a length of more than one meter.
Although he built it himself, he didn't know the firing principle of the arrow tower, and the construction drawings provided by this system seemed to him to be very different from the things that were handmade before.
Those who were lucky enough to break through the defense of the arrow tower and rush to the territory were all bounced back by the mysterious protective shield on the periphery of the territory.
After observing for a while, You Yuan made a rough estimate that on average, every two arrows could kill a bat monster.
And in the process, You Yuan also carefully discovered that every time the arrow tower kills a bat, he will increase some experience points.
After confirming that the territory was safe, You Yuan also began to participate in the battle, after all, he gained more experience points from fighting in person.
After a while, an idea flashed in his mind, and an idea popped into him.
