Chapter 45: Digging an escape tunnel
"By the way, do you want to sleep alone?" He asked the little girl in his arms.
Yaya hurriedly hugged her and said with an uneasy face: "Yaya wants to sleep with you......"
The little girl was almost insecure after she was born, and now she suddenly has to sleep in a separate room, which is mostly unacceptable.
Jiang Cheng had to rely on her first, anyway, the little girl was still young, only six years old, and she didn't understand anything.
It's a big deal to wait for her to fall asleep at night.
Putting the little girl on the ground, Jiang Cheng took out the cowhide to make the bed.
The bed was also just a normal wooden bed, and although there was no bedding, the quality of the bed was good.
After laying out several layers to make sure that he could sleep comfortably, he rolled a few cowhides into pillows and placed them at the head of the bed.
In the end, he used one of the largest cowhides as a quilt, anyway, the weather is still very hot, and the quilt is dispensable.
"Since there's still water here, let's settle down here first, and we'll talk about the rest later."
After making the bed, Jiang Cheng said to the two girls.
"I'll listen to you." Tong Xiaorou naturally didn't have any opinions, she hesitated, and suddenly worried: "Am I causing you trouble?" ”
"No, don't think about it." Jiang Cheng comforted.
"The girl also listens to her brother-in-law." The little girl said.
Jiang Cheng smiled slightly, came to the window and looked out through the single-sided glass, and found that there were still a lot of pedestrians.
Obviously, there are a lot of people staying here, all because of the Longxi Lake, which has not yet dried up.
But that Longxi Lake, if nothing else, will definitely be heavily guarded by the Longxi camp, and it is impossible for outsiders to enter to get water.
If you want water, you can only trade things for things.
"Tuk Tuk ......"
Liang Xin knocked on the door outside and said, "My lord, it's me." ”
Jiang Cheng opened the door and asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Liang Xin said with a solemn expression: "I found that someone was observing us, in several directions. I carefully distinguished, it was someone from the Black Wind Business Group before. ”
Although Jiang Cheng had expected it, his heart sank at the moment: "Continue to observe, there is a special situation to call me." ”
"Yes, sir."
Liang Xin hesitated, and then said, "My lord, I observed when I was outside before, and there were many craters and blood stains outside the temporary residence......
"What do you mean?" Jiang Cheng was stunned.
Liang Xin explained: "I have carefully observed that the temporary residence almost surrounds the entire Longxi camp, do you feel that the temporary residence is like the second wall of the Longxi camp? ”
Jiang Cheng's eyes were micron, and he couldn't help but think of the previous bison migration incident, as well as the giant bison crossing incident.
"You mean ......"
"I just suspect that there may be a migration of herds here, and there is a lake here that has not completely dried up, so I'm afraid of ......"
Liang Xin didn't say it completely, but Jiang Cheng already understood.
Jiang Cheng took a deep look at Liang Xin and said, "Observe very carefully." Try to play to your strengths, do things for me, and I won't treat you badly. ”
"Yes, sir!" Liang Xin was overjoyed and said goodbye and left.
"Is it dangerous? It's not safe here, is it? Tong Xiaorou walked over and asked worriedly.
Jiang Cheng hugged the girl's waist and said with a smile: "In today's world, where is it not dangerous? It's already good here, at least there's water. Okay, let's eat first, we'll do it again today, and try to cook some normal food tomorrow, I remember that your cooking skills are okay. ”
Tong Xiaorou immediately said: "The kind of barbecue we eat now is not at all, and many people will never be able to eat this kind of food in their lifetime." ”
Probably worried that Jiang Cheng would misunderstand, she hurriedly said: "But as long as you like it, I can cook for you every day." ”
"Okay." Jiang Cheng smiled, took out the water and food and shared it with the two girls.
After eating and drinking, it was completely dark, and the street lights were lit up outside.
Even in temporary settlements, there are street lights, and the night is not quiet.
And more are likely to come here in the future.
……
Waiting for Tong Xiaorou to fall asleep tiredly.
Jiang Cheng lay down for a while, then sat up and took out the things that he had subconsciously ignored before.
A local communicator resembling a Bluetooth headset.
This was given by Yang Kuifeng, the former security guard of the shelter and the driver of power armor.
This local communicator can communicate with Yang Kuifeng's 2 power armor within ten kilometers.
Jiang Cheng groaned, tried to put it to his ear, and pressed the communication button.
However, there was only an intermittent blind tone in the headphones, and there was no response.
Obviously, the power armor of Yang Kuifeng was ten kilometers away.
Because he had known the result for a long time, Jiang Cheng was not disappointed, anyway, he never thought of relying on external forces to solve the trouble of the Black Wind Business Group, he just wanted to trade some more things.
But this plan is clearly about to fail.
At this time, it was past twelve o'clock in the morning, and there was a yin tide outside, but the yin tide did not seem to enter the house, and the yin tide outside was very thin.
Obviously, the rumor that monsters at night will not appear in crowded places is most likely true.
Putting away the headphones, Jiang Cheng went directly to the bottom of the bed and performed the collection technique in the most inconspicuous corner.
He wants to continue to level up, and he wants to raise the level first, digging cellars and escape tunnels, and by the way, strengthening the house with the collected materials, so as not to rush in case of danger.
At the same time, he also wanted to see if he could dig into the depth of Nalongxi Lake, and if he could get water by himself, it would be great.
The concrete under the bed quickly disappeared, and a one-meter-long and wide crater appeared.
Jiang Cheng didn't stop, and continued to collect after jumping in.
Of course, in order to prevent him from climbing up, after digging the hole to a depth of two meters, he dug it at an angle, and soon dug a ladder that sloped downward.
Each step of the staircase is a meter high.
Because this is still a prairie area, the grass roots are very lush, and the soil is very tightly bitten, which is not easy to collapse.
Jiang Cheng also dug down more confidently.
When the space backpack was full, he returned to the room, took out the excavated concrete and dirt from the ground, piled it in the corner, and used his crafting skills to strengthen the walls and floors.
In the flickering of light, the dirt quickly turned into dust, crumbling at the level of particles, and its properties were absorbed by the walls of the room.
Although the attributes of the wall cannot be seen due to the problem that the field of vision is not large enough, since it can be synthesized and strengthened, the defense of the wall must have increased.
After all the clods were used, he continued to go back underground to collect.
And so on and so forth.
The ground was quickly dug out to a depth of more than ten meters, and in some places he widened it.
It's a pity that even after digging more than ten meters deep, the soil is still very dry, and it is obvious that the water of Longxi Lake is very deep.
Jiang Cheng wasn't too disappointed, anyway, digging water is just by the way, you can dig the best, and if you can't dig it, you can buy it.
In the past, when I was collecting wood, the distance between each tree was very long because of the large size of the trees, and it took a lot of time to walk.
And at that time, I had to guard against the sneak attack of the Evolution Mantis, so the collection speed and experience entry speed were very slow, and the actual collection time in a day was only less than half.
But now, with dirt under your feet, there is almost no need for any delay, even if you collect one step, you only need to take a step and squat down to continue collecting.
Therefore, the collection speed directly grows wildly, and the experience increase speed increases dramatically.
In just one night, Jiang Cheng upgraded again, from level thirteen to level fourteen, and his life increased by 0.1.
Of course, the increase in strength brought about by the upgrade is almost negligible.
But as long as the realm comes up, the growth rate of his strength can be greatly increased.
