Sticking the iron knife into the mound of soil on the side, Zhou Ran sat down on the spot, he took the bamboo tube handed to him by the primitive man on the side, and then raised his head and drank the water in it in one gulp.

Looking at the primitive man who left respectfully after holding the bamboo tube, Zhou Ran stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, his face was full of melancholy, he was not sad that his sword skills had not improved, after all, he had a general talent for knife skills.

What he is worried about now is that there are already 4 people in the territory who have symptoms of running stomachs, if it is placed on an ordinary lord, maybe because he has no experience, he will not take this matter to heart, but in Zhou Ran's opinion, this matter is a very serious precursor.

In true history, the main reason why primitive people were able to survive tens of thousands of years ago when wild beasts were full of wild animals and the natural environment was harsh was because they were able to use fire.

As for Zhou Ran's side, the only things that can be used to light the fire in his territory now are the 300 units of wood drawn by the lottery, and some dry bamboo.

On the east side of the clearing, Bai Zhu led the primitive people to build a small bamboo shed, and in the middle of the bamboo shed was a small fire source, and two primitive people were responsible for staring here every day to ensure that the fire source was not extinguished.

After all, there are no tools at hand now, and it is very difficult to make a fire even if you want to rub it, of course, making a fire is not the most critical problem, the most critical problem is not enough fuel.

In Zhou Ran's territory, this fire source is now increased only when cooking every day, so that the primitive people can hurry up and roast some animal meat, and even most of the time, they have to eat fruit in order to save fuel.

Eating more fruit and less meat is not a big deal, after all, it is not that you don't eat it, but the key is to drink raw river water every day, which is unbearable.

Don't look at the fact that there are only 4 people running on the stomach now, but Zhou Ran can see through the system panel that their attributes have dropped by nearly half, and their agility attributes have dropped by 2/3, they will not lose their lives because of running stomachs, but they definitely have no way to become laborers, in addition to this, they have to consume their own resources, and they have to eat and drink normally every day.

It's fine if it's 4 people, but drinking raw water can really cause serious dysentery, and if 1/3 of the people in the territory have this symptom, then Zhou Ran will go straight to gg.

Moving his limbs that were a little sore due to overtraining, Zhou Ran thought solemnly, "I have to find a way to open up a road to the nearest forest around, if you want to add boiling water to the agenda, then you have to consume at least 50~100 units of wood every day, and about 150 units of bamboo...... Now it can produce 200~300 units of bamboo per day, if you don't add new buildings, there is no place to use bamboo, just use it all as fuel, it should be able to support about a week or two, and then quickly clear the road, and 100 people every day to be responsible for logging is enough. ’

After determining the basic plan, Zhou Ran came to call Bai Zhu, and he still had to discuss this matter with Bai Zhu, after all, the big housekeeper in the territory is Bai Zhu now, only he knows how many resources each person in the territory produces every day, how many resources need to be consumed, and some hidden elements He even knows more clearly than the panel.

After listening to Zhou Ran's entire plan, Bai Zhuran nodded: "The adult's plan is very good, and there is not much that needs to be corrected, but if the adult really wants to do this, then it is better to hurry up, after all, bamboo is still a resource that has a lot of uses, and it is a bit of a loss to blindly use it as fuel." ”

"Well, when the 200 stone spearmen are trained early tomorrow morning, I will take them and Meng to open a road, kill all the beasts around, and then stick some bamboo or other things on the ground as a guide."

In the primitive era, it was still very necessary to guide the way, which could effectively prevent these lords from getting lost.

After confirming that there was no big problem with the plan, Bai Zhu left first, there were still many places for him to be busy, Zhou Ran picked up the knife again and began to continue practicing the knife technique, but after practicing for less than a few minutes, he suddenly heard a snorting sound after hearing it.

Turning his head to look, Zhou Ran found that Liu Qingkong was running towards him quickly, standing in front of Zhou Ran, Liu Qingkong was panting for breath with his hands on his knees, obviously running continuously, consuming a lot of her physical strength.

"What's going on? In such a hurry? Zhou Ran was a little curious.

"No, no, there are a lot of primitives running in the direction of our territory, a lot!"

Hearing Liu Qingkong say this, Zhou Ran couldn't help frowning, Liu Qingkong was not an uninformed primitive, she also knew what level of combat power the 100 wild stone spearmen in her territory were, if it was only a primitive hunting team of thirty or fifty people, she would definitely not say such a thing.

"Let's go, I'll go and have a look with you."

Liu Qingkong nodded and turned around, and couldn't wait to run in the direction of the northeast, following Liu Qingkong, Zhou Ran recalled the primitive tribe in the northeast, after all, during this period of time, they had roughly scouted the surrounding tribes, and they all had points in their hearts in which direction there were strong enemies.

'Northeast Side...... It doesn't seem like there are any powerful tribes, could it be that I am mistaken? ’

Follow Liu Qingkong to the edge of the territory, Yan Feishuang and Meng are here, there are seventy or eighty wild stone spearmen around them, and the remaining 20 or so people are regular patrols in the territory, and they all go to check the other directions of the territory to ensure that they will not be attacked from their backs.

"Your Excellency."

"Your Excellency."

Seeing Zhou Ran, Yan Feishuang and Meng greeted each other for the first time, Zhou Ran nodded at the two of them, and then looked in the direction that the two were staring at.

I saw a large number of primitive people advancing step by step towards their territory, and when they saw them, even Zhou Ran was taken aback, Liu Qingkong was right, this is indeed a large number of people, just looking at the area where they are gathered, there are much more than 100 wild stone spearmen, at least there are about 300 people.

"Damn, how could so many primitive people suddenly appear?" Zhou Ran's face was full of puzzled looks, this is really too abnormal, these primitive people are all about eating and killing in their minds, and they will definitely not act together.

But if it weren't for joint action, how could there be a tribe with a full three or four hundred fighters, that would be terrible.

Taking off the Great Wilderness on his back, Zhou Ran stroked the body of the Great Wilderness's gun, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Let's prepare some surprises for these guests who come from afar." ”
