Cao Xing directly collected the things in Tong Guangrong's relic box.
Then, he looked at everyone and said, "Okay, now let's hurry back to the territory."
We headed towards the camp along the same route we came from.
It took them almost two hours to get back this time.
There is no way. When there are too many people, the progress will be slowed down.
In fact, it was Cao Xing and his team who slowed down Assam and Andrew.
One of them rode a frost wolf, and the other walked on all fours. Their speed on the snow could reach at least 30 kilometers per hour.
As for Cao Xing and his team, it is considered pretty good if they can reach a speed of five kilometers per hour.
Speed in the snow is also a big issue.
Cao Xing thought to himself, "Is there any way to speed up the movement of snow?"
In his mind, he began to recall his experiences playing the game.
After a moment, Cao Xing thought: "At present, it seems that there are two ways to speed up the movement of snow."
"The first one is to tame those wild creatures and make them mounts. The stronger the creature, the faster it will move on the snow."
"The second method is to develop technology, open the [Technology Research Institute] as soon as possible, and then use the blueprints to create snow bikes, motorcycles, transport vehicles, etc."
Yes, you heard it right.
In the middle of this game, you can build various technologies.
In addition to these vehicles, Cao Xing also built the first helicopter after spending 448 days in the game.
This is also the longest save file he has ever played.
In short, this world is a real world full of infinite possibilities.
…
…
When Cao Xing and his men returned to the territory, it was almost dark.
Cao Xing looked up at the time above his head.
[Due to nightfall: 0 hours and 50 minutes...]
[Novice protection period remaining: 3 days and 12 hours...]
The survivors are nearing the end of their third day of exploration.
The group of polar people, as well as Dahua and the others, also saw this huge group of people.
Dahua exclaimed when she saw those familiar faces.
"Oh my God! You guys actually came back."
She flew over excitedly, and the two sides began a conversation as if they had survived a disaster.
At this time, Da Zhuang also came to Cao Xing with a hammer.
"My Lord, the bonfire has been upgraded successfully, and your Lord's Hut is also being upgraded at an accelerated pace."
Cao Xing nodded, then looked towards the blazing campfire in the center of the camp.
[Camp Fire: Level 5]
[Campfire effect: can increase the temperature of the area within a radius of 160 meters by 10~20℃]
[Consumption]: 10 minutes/4 wood or 25 minutes/2 coal.
[Materials required for the next level]: Stone*60, Wood*40, Iron*20.
Under the scorching flames, the surrounding ground covered with ice and snow gradually appeared.
Only on these grounds can more buildings be built and various crops be grown.
Therefore, the level of the campfire determines the area of your territory.
However, when the camp campfire is upgraded to an energy tower in the later stage, the heating range alone can reach the area of a city.
The survivors develop their territory by constantly constructing various buildings.
In the future you may even be able to own a city of your own.
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction and said, "Da Zhuang, you did a good job."
"Next, you take five or six strong men with you to continue collecting resources."
"Focus on collecting the coal from that mine. The campfire upgrade will consume a lot of coal, and we need to ensure the heating of the camp."
The polar man Da Zhuang straightened up immediately and said respectfully, "Yes, respected lord!"
Then, he hurried to work.
Cao Xing called Erzhuang over again, "Erzhuang, take Qizhuang and Bazhuang with you and hurry up to build more [small shelters], [canteens], etc., and try to complete them before dark."
"Let our new members have a place to eat and sleep."
"Yes, my Lord!"
Erzhuang also received the order and took his men to work.
Cao Xing continued to give orders, "San Zhuang, come here."
San Zhuang, with a beard, came to Cao Xing.
"San Zhuang, you don't need to build too many things. You just need to lead Si Zhuang to build a [Primary Element Arrow Tower] before dark."
San Zhuang also said respectfully: "I promise to complete the task, respected lord."
For a moment, the polar people became busy again.
At this moment, the group of newly joined humans have also ended their communication.
They saw the polar people working in the camp, and the slightly older Cao Yi's expression moved slightly.
Cao Yi hurriedly came over with the other refugees, and then said respectfully: "Lord, please give us more tasks as well."
Cao Xing nodded, "Don't worry, I know you probably haven't eaten for several days."
"Before working, you have to fill your stomach first."
This group of newly joined citizens looked at each other and saw surprise and relief in each other's eyes.
It seemed that this was the first time they had met such a considerate lord.
Cao Xing continued, "But there is no cafeteria right now, so you can just eat some bread first."
Cao Xing glanced at Liu Muxue beside him.
Liu Muxue understood and took out a dozen loaves of bread from the territory's resources.
She gave two pieces to each new member of the territory.
At this moment, Cao Yi, Sihua and others looked at the bread in their hands, tears in their eyes, and were deeply moved.
Then, they all knelt down in unison.
"Thank you, my gracious and generous Lord!"
"Thank you, beautiful and kind Second Lord!"
The next moment, many system prompts appeared in the ears of Cao Xing and Liu Muxue.
[Due to your generosity, the loyalty of the territory member 'Cao Yi' has been increased. The current loyalty is 80]
[Due to your generosity, the loyalty of the territory member 'Four Flowers' has been increased. The current loyalty is 78]
[Because of you...]
After this wave, the loyalty of this group of newly joined refugees all increased by 5 to 10 points.
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction.
Tong Chuchu and Xia Yanni, who were standing by, looked at the white bread in the hands of the people and swallowed their saliva.
They had been hungry for some time and were equally eager for food.
Cao Xing took out four pieces of bread from the territory resources and handed them to Xia Yanni.
"Let's eat something first."
The tall woman bent down slightly, took the bread, and said gratefully: "Thank you... Thank you..."
Tong Chuchu, who was standing by, also said with an innocent smile: "Thank you, big brother."
Cao Xing smiled.
When they finished eating the bread, everyone's satiety increased a little.
At this time, Cao Xing slowly said: "Cao Yi."
Cao Yi immediately replied, "My Lord, I am here."
Cao Xing: "Next, the group of people you brought will be under your command."
"Your next tasks are to continue upgrading the campfire and collecting resources."
"We need to collect wood and stones. When we have extra manpower, we can help Dazhuang and the others build some basic buildings."
Cao Yi nodded quickly, "I obey your orders!"
Then, Cao Xing looked at Dahua again.
"Dahua, I'm going to give you this batch of wheat seeds. You take someone with you to find a place near the territory to cultivate the land, and then plant this batch of wheat."
The big flower with cold white skin took the seeds from Cao Xing's hand and stroked them gently.
"This is a top-quality wheat seed. It will surely grow a batch of high-quality wheat..."
She nodded and said, "My Lord, I will complete the task you assigned me."
Then, this group of newly joined residents of the territory also began to get busy.
Cao Xing looked at the bustling scene in the territory and nodded with satisfaction.
His territory grew from a small campfire to a place with so many subjects and more and more buildings.
This is the joy of farming!
