Chapter 24 Doesn't it seem that your marksmanship is accurate!

People without thought, he must worry about.

After watching the long monologue in the Wenquan Mine, I deeply felt that crisis plans must be made in peacetime in order to face changes that may come at any time.

If they had expanded the bare-bone police chief to form a guard team early, would they have been able to suppress the rumors that were harmful to the town in time? Would they have been able to deal with the mysterious murder case in time? Can they have worked together to get through it?

The sensational incident in the monologue?

Whether it's for me or for the emoji pony at home, I have to start making some preparations.

When I got home, the emoji pony was still walking freely in the open space, occasionally lowering its head to nibble on a few weeds, and then showed a contented look on its face:

(??????)!

Just be happy...

Ignoring the pony who tried to come over when he saw me coming home, I focused my attention on the colonial system with the gear symbol, and a familiar voice rang.

"Welcome to Tynan Sylvester's Colony Simulator!"

Only then did I discover a prompt message in an inconspicuous corner. I had been too focused on reading the monologue text before, so I didn't notice that there was such a message.

"A threat to the player has been detected!"

"System function: Building planning - the defense system is officially online!"

"Unlock buildings: fences, fence gates, simple traps, sandbags, barbed wire."

"Rewards for unlocking the defense system for the first time: fence (50 meters), sandbags (50 meters), barbed wire (50 meters), please choose one."

"Building name: wooden fence

Introduction to the building: An old-fashioned wooden fence that cannot be passed.

Cover effect: 35%

Flammability: 100%

Durability:98”

"Building Name: Sandbag

Introduction to the building: Use steel rods to fix nearby soil or sand to form a bunker. Although it is a bit ugly, it can effectively reduce the chance of being concentrated by long-range weapons.

Cover effect: 65%

Flammability: 0%

Aesthetics:-10

Durability: 450”

"Building Name: Barbed Wire Fence

Introduction to the building: A special type of barbed wire fence that provides cover from gunfire and can be climbed over but will slow down the movement.

Cover effect: 30%

Flammability: 0%

Aesthetics:-10

Durability: 300”

Very good!

This defense system reward is exactly what I need now.

Although from a literal point of view, these three have no lethality, they can effectively improve the safety of the pasture and save me a lot of labor in building fortifications!

After analysis and comparison, I decided to choose this wooden fence (50 meters).

From the perspective of properties, barbed wire is used to slow down the enemy's attack, and there is no way to isolate or eliminate enemy invasion.

Sandbags are suitable for use as cover and protection during gunfights. But I don't even have a gun now. If I hide behind the sandbags when the enemy attacks, it will just be a countdown to my life.

There is only this fence that says no one can cross...

I have long disliked this dilapidated pasture!

With the fence, I can plan a grazing area and a planting area to protect crops and animals inside. At the same time, I can expand the house inside to become a small manor in a large pasture.

What's safer than a manor?

In the future, as long as the buildings and fences are integrated into a whole, I will have a fortress that can be attacked when entering and defended when retreating, which is enough to temporarily defend against the attack of outsiders!

Excited, I immediately chose this reward.

"Select reward: wooden fence (50 meters)"

"Please place fences on the land where green areas can be installed"

A long shadow of a fence appeared in my field of vision, moving and arranging shapes according to my opinions.

First, I took my house as the center and expanded it 8 meters to the left and right, completely encompassing the house and forming a 16-meter-long side.

Then, along the shape I imagined, I built a trapezoidal range from near to far as my defense area. This slightly fan-shaped distribution is conducive to my capturing the enemy.

As long as the enemy wants to attack, he must start looking for a breakthrough along the narrow edge in the distance, and I found it easily.

This persecution-paranoia-style fortification is also the most reasonable design I can think of.

Later, I also planned to place a sandbag at the door of my house as a defensive bunker in case of attack. It is usually disguised as a marble garden at the door. Once an attack occurs, I can get the news inside the house and rely on the cover of the sandbag to fight back or escape.

But this plan had to be shelved because the system prompted me that there were insufficient steel resources.

I looked at the neatly placed fences with satisfaction and felt extremely satisfied. Only the pony faced the strange building that suddenly rose from the ground with a confused look on his face:

(●?????●)!

Okay, you expressed it very vividly...

The pony came to the fence that was only as high as his thigh, opened its mouth and bit it.

Can't bite.

Then he raised his front hooves and kicked twice.

Not moving at all.

Finally, with an angry expression on his face, he looked at this inconspicuous obstacle and prepared to cross it:

(*?_?)!

I saw the pony's front legs flying neatly into the air, its hind legs exerting force, and it rose up from the ground one meter away, and was about to leap over the fence.

Unexpectedly, the pony in mid-air was pulled down by an invisible thread like a puppet on a stage, and landed gently on the ground.

As if a pony can only jump so far!

I also stepped forward and tried. Whenever I put my hands on the fence and wanted to stand up and cross over, there would be a repulsive force pushing me back a few steps, and all possibilities of volleying were completely eliminated.

.

But after my testing, this half-meter-high fence has no obstruction to anything flying through, including thrown stones, flying butterflies, and birds overhead.

If the stones can pass through, so can the bullets and arrows.

If butterflies and birds can pass by, so can night owls and hawks.

And based on my testing, this wooden fence is not indestructible. The durability is clearly displayed on the building status bar.

"Current durability of wooden fence: 96/98"

Well, this actually fully satisfies my needs.

How could a real copper wall look like a fence?

After taking the confused pony for a walk around the venue and telling him not to run around outside until we opened the door, I continued to let him roam.

My next step is to build a universal stone fence gate at the reserved location.

…………

"Boss Dart, I'm here, can you come in?"

In the evening, I took a walk to Boss Dart's tavern, ready to solve my food problem.

"You're here?" Boss Dart was still at the bar, diligently wiping the wine glass with a piece of white cloth, "I said I wouldn't let you in, so you still came in anyway."

Ever since I made a joke about my father-in-law last time, he has looked at me defensively, as if he wanted to kick me out.

"Boss, aren't I here to help you cook?"

"You think I need you to cook?"

"I can chop vegetables and move groceries, so I can always help in the kitchen!"

Boss Dart finally couldn't turn a blind eye to my shameless behavior of defaulting on my debts and paying for my meal.

"Go in...and don't think too much about Lin!"

"Okay, father-in-law!"

After I said this, I quickly ran into the kitchen.

When Boss Dart heard this, his whole body trembled, his hands and feet were cold, and he threw the rag in his hand.

I let out an exaggerated cry in the kitchen.

"Armor! The armor has been broken!"

Boss Dart laughed angrily when he heard this, "Where did you get the armor from? And I didn't hit you either!"
