Chapter 11: Garrisoning
On the way, Jiang Cheng took out a piece of barbecue, and the three of them ate a little to maintain their strength.
However, they also ate quietly, and did not dare to let people see it, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
"+0.1 Health"
Suddenly, such a message skipped on the panel in my mind.
Jiang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and found that his vitality had increased by 0.1 point, reaching 2.6.
However, because this is a subtle improvement after opening the path of evolution, it is not too obvious.
He remained silent and continued on his way, wondering if he could raise his level by gathering again when he rested at night.
Although the level of collection and improvement will only open the upper limit of the level, the direct increase in strength is not large, and when the energy cannot keep up, there will be a bottleneck.
But as long as the upper limit is raised, the speed should be faster when the workouts are improved.
And every time you raise a level, you can at least increase a little vitality, less once, and the more times you add up, you can't ignore it.
However, since reaching level ten, the experience required for each level has almost increased exponentially, and it is not so easy to move up to one level.
Coupled with the fact that we have to find food and water now, there is simply no time to stay in one place for too long.
These wilderness people have good stamina...... Or rather, the resilience is amazing, and no one is left behind along the way.
Or maybe the ones who are left behind will always be left behind.
Anyway, Jiang Cheng was a little tired, and those people were still expressionless and numb to follow.
Even Tong Xiaorou, a weak woman, is the same, such a long journey seems to be commonplace for them.
Along the way, occasionally you will see some trees or weeds that have not withered, and someone will rush up to snatch the bark and dig up the roots.
With the exception of the front group, most of the people in the rear participated in the scramble.
Someone even fought over it.
Thousands of people scrambled together, and the scene was very exaggerated, and the place passed was like locusts passing through, the weeds were cleaned, and the ground was dug with bare hands.
A family of three tall and thin men also participated, digging grass roots with their bare hands or with wooden spears, their hands seemed to have evolved, with thick calluses, sharp nails, and fast digging speed.
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but look at Yaya and Tong Xiaorou's hands, and sure enough, he found that the palms of the two girls also had a thick layer of cocoons, and their nails were also thicker and sharper than those ordinary people in their previous lives, obviously they had come over like this before.
But now that he was there, the three of them weren't involved.
There are still twenty catties of roast wolf meat in the space backpack, and if you save a little, it will be enough to eat for ten days, and what he really lacks now is water.
Tong Xiaorou saw those people who were scrambling for bark and grass roots, and thought that the last two meals she had eaten were extremely fragrant barbecue, and a sense of satisfaction and superiority suddenly rose in her heart, and she couldn't help but get closer to Jiang Cheng.
Sensing Tong Xiaorou's emotional changes, Jiang Cheng smiled at her, which immediately made her feel more at ease.
Finally, after about seven or eight kilometers of travel, the sun had completely set, and it was completely dark, and the land boat came to a stop in a flat place.
Jiang Cheng saw from a distance that the two power armors were slashing the vines around the land boat, as if they were opening up a temporary camp.
Those who were ahead of them went over to help, curling the chopped vines into a ball and sending them to the land boat.
"What are they doing?" Tong Xiaorou said blankly.
Jiang Cheng had some guesses, but he wasn't sure.
At this time, the tall and thin man came up and said, "I heard that those people want to use plants to refine some atoms, and the excess elements can be used to synthesize food and water, and this is how the food and water on the land boat come from. ”
Saying that, he looked at Jiang Cheng: "This friend, my son and I want to go over to work, do you want to go together?" If you are together, my wife will stay with your family, so that she will have a companion. ”
His wife is the skinny woman, and it is estimated that her health is not very good, and it is difficult to do too heavy labor.
Refining atoms?
Jiang Cheng was at a loss, could there be any precious elements in the plant?
However, he thought about it and refused, not worrying that Tong Xiaorou and Yaya would stay alone with strangers, even if it was a woman.
"I'll take a look at the situation first, and if it's okay, I'll talk about it tomorrow." He replied.
"Okay then." The tall and thin man didn't entangle and left directly.
There are also people who are as hesitant as Jiang Cheng, and those people are people who are not short of food for the time being, and they want to see the situation first, worried about being cheated.
After all, almost all of them are people who encounter the shelter for the first time, and they are not forced to do so, and they will not trust easily.
At this time, some of them had already begun to climb the tree, and they were very proficient, and they were ready to spend the night in the tree.
Jiang Cheng also took Tong Xiaorou and Yaya and stopped under an ancient tree with a diameter of nearly four meters more than 300 meters away from the land boat.
He glanced around, and after making sure that no one was near, he put down the maid and said, "You wait for me here, I'll go up and dig a hole, and then I'll take you up." ”
"Mm-hmm, be careful." Tong Xiaorou said.
Yaya also said: "Brother-in-law, be careful. ”
Jiang Cheng smiled and rubbed Yaya's head: "Don't worry." ”
After speaking, he used the Tang horizontal knife to plunge into the dry bark, buckled one hand into the cracked bark, and slowly climbed up.
However, because he was worried that it would be inconvenient when he came down tomorrow, he didn't climb too high, just three meters.
This height is enough to prevent people from sneaking up on people, and at the same time, the field of vision is also wider.
And, to prevent that from happening last night, the two monsters last night seemed to be flying in the sky and fighting, the canopy shattered, and the trunk was not destroyed.
Coming to a height of three meters, Jiang Cheng used the Tang horizontal knife to deeply insert the trunk of the tree next to him that would not be affected to stabilize his body, and then pasted his palm on it, and used his collection skills to collect in a directional manner.
"Little Wood +2"
"Little Wood +2"
"Little Wood +2"
Pieces of wood were collected, and fine cracks quickly appeared on the surface of the giant tree.
After only ten minutes, the bark in front of me and the main trunk area inside dissipated as if weathered, turning into a large number of fine wood chips that spilled onto the ground, most of which were piled up at the bottom of the hollow.
Like the one dug last night, this tree hole is only one meter in diameter and about three meters deep.
But this time, Jiang Cheng didn't stop.
He first glanced down and around to make sure no one was approaching before he climbed in, then put his hand on the cave wall above his head and performed a directional collection.
After a full twenty minutes, the tree hole was expanded by him to a depth of three meters, a width of one and a half meters, and a height of two meters.
In this way, you can stand in the tree cavity, and you don't need to lie on your stomach all the time.
Of course, the entrance to the cave is still only one meter in diameter.
If it weren't for the fear that the giant tree would break, Jiang Cheng would have wanted to dig wider.
After doing all this, he climbed out of the tree hole again, and greeted Tong Xiaorou and Yaya below: "You get out of the way, I'll jump down." ”
Tong Xiaorou and Yaya hurriedly dodged away.
Jiang Cheng fell lightly, and then went up first with Yaya in his arms.
After sending the girl into the tree hole, he came down again and carried Tong Xiaorou on his back.
"Wow, are we here tonight? So spacious, so safe. Tong Xiaorou said in surprise.
Yaya was even more excited to roll around on the fine and soft sawdust, which was also too comfortable.
But after all, they were still hungry, and the two girls didn't stay excited for long before they stopped, subconsciously conserving their strength.
"Let's go to bed first, I'm busy outside, don't just come out, you know?" Jiang Cheng admonished.
"Mmmm, we're not going out." Tong Xiaorou said: "Then you be careful, don't be too late." ”
"Brother-in-law come back early and go to bed." Yaya also said.
"Okay." Jiang Cheng smiled, then came to the entrance of the cave and looked at the land boat more than three hundred meters away through the heavy tree trunks and dead vines.
I saw that the lights were bright, and three or four thousand people were busy cutting down trees, carrying wood and dead vines.
The huge land boat was like a bottomless pit, and a large amount of material was transported into it, but it seemed that it could not be filled.
Jiang Cheng was a little convinced, there might really be a high-tech assembly line for refining elements and synthesizing food in the land boat.
He didn't look too much, and jumped down from the hole again, he was about to turn on the big gathering mode.
Tonight, no matter what, you have to raise the upper limit one or two levels, first raise the upper limit, and then slowly exercise the strength later.
