Chapter 343 Don't kill him
Now Zhou Zhenghao walked into the second floor of the black tower with Zhang San alone. After entering here, he looked up and was slightly startled.
Good guy!
The place was actually overcrowded, which made Zhou Zhenghao feel like he was entering his own world instead of entering the second floor of the Black Tower. It was like a tourist attraction during the short holiday, with huge crowds and crowds of people.
"Why are there so many people here?..."
Zhou Zhenghao looked at these people gathered around the lake. Most of them were fishing. In the woods in the distance, the sound of chopping wood could be heard.
With so many people fishing, you are not afraid that the lake will be drained...
Now that his territory is larger, he has more people in his hands, and there are also idle people. Many people are unwilling to join the reclamation group, nor the city defense army, and even Wang Shi's tree felling is unwilling to participate.
Instead, they wander around this territory. Their means of making a living are to do some small business and resell some items, but they don't starve to death...
Zhou Zhenghao also turned a blind eye to this phenomenon.
In a complete city, it is impossible for such people not to exist. It must be tolerant to a certain extent...
In addition, Zhou Zhenghao was looking for Wang Shi along the lakeside, but from time to time he would find young men and women sneaking around, hiding in some hidden corners, and doing something secretly, so that he and Gu Ling'er would make small moves.
Zhou Zhenghao had some eye-opening experiences this week. Think about it, most of these people are survivors from outside, that is, the original residents of Weiling Continent...,
It's not a bad thing for these people to form families now. Maybe it won't be long before the first batch of babies are born in their territory. By then, this will be a complete city.
In addition, Zhou Zhenghao also carefully screened out, not only the survivors outside, but also the villagers under Wang Yijia, who were also doing small tricks secretly...,
What does this mean? This means that the villagers who have been restored by their own restoration stones and restored as NPCs can also reproduce freely.
This is a discovery that makes Zhou Zhenghao happy...
Just when he was thinking about who would come, Zhou Zhenghao just thought of Wang Yijia.
When they met, Wang Yijia ran towards Zhou Zhenghao. Maybe he saw Zhou Zhenghao from a distance, so he rushed towards him and shouted from a distance.
"Lord, why are you here?..."
"Why can't I come here? This is my territory too..."
Zhou Zhenghao looked at Wang Yijia with a smile,
Wang Yijia was a little embarrassed and scratched his head.
"Ah, I'm sorry, Lord, I made a mistake. I meant that the Lord has so many things to do, how do you have time to come to this leisure area?..."
"When did this become a leisure area? Why didn't I know?..."
"Ah, such a lord, and you haven't resurrected the monsters here for a long time. It's idle here. Isn't there such a big lake here?
Some of my villagers like to come here to fish. In addition, the scenery here is also good, with water, mountains, and trees. Lord, you may not know that this lake is no longer called Half Moon Lake.
It's called the Lake of Love..."
"Haha, Love Lake is a good name..."
Zhou Shenghao was very happy after hearing what Wang Yijia said.
"By the way, Wang Yijia, with so many people fishing here, can this lake bear it? Can you still catch fish?..."
"I can catch it, but why can't I catch it?..."
Wang Yijia looked at Zhou Zhenghao in surprise,
"So many of us fish here every day, and everyone's harvest is good every day. Lord, you may not know that less than half of the food in our territory now comes from fish caught in this lake..."
"Yeah?……"
"Of course, Lord, not only do we catch a lot of fish in the lakes in our territory, but the village chiefs in other territories are also fishing vigorously. There is no end to the fish, and they can fall out at any time.
......."
"There are such good things..."
Zhou Zhenghao touched his nose. He also had a bit of inertial thinking. He thought that in the real world, this lake was a game world and had been modified by the rules. Maybe he could really fish without restrictions.
This is another good news.
"By the way, Wang Yijia, I'm here to see Wang Shi. Have you seen this kid?..."
"Wang Shi was in the woods. I saw him passing by just now. He must have gone to the woods to dig out bird eggs again..."
"Well, I'll go find him and you can do your own thing..."
After bidding farewell to Wang Yijia, Zhou Zhenghao walked into the woods.
When he went to conquer the fourth and fifth floors of the Black Tower before, he passed by the second floor in a hurry without looking carefully.
This time I can take a leisurely stroll and walk slowly over.
Sure enough, he saw the fishermen gathered around the lake. The distance between them was basically four or five meters, and the speed of lifting the pole was not slow. One after another, there were always fish caught by them.
It looks like the harvest is really good.
Zhou Zhenghao walked into the woods with joy and saw Wang Shi at a glance.
Wang Shi was not climbing a tree to dig out bird eggs. Instead, he was pointing at a tree and picking up an ax to chop down the tree "Bang Bang!...".
Zhou Zhenghao looked at it and saw that his tree was about to fall down. He looked in the direction and led Zhang San to the side to avoid being hit by the tree that Wang Shi had chopped down.
Soon Wang Shi shouted
"It's down..."
Immediately afterwards, the tree, which was more than 20 meters high, slowly tilted and collapsed, hitting the open space next to it.
It seemed that Wang Shi, a carpenter, was very qualified. The tree fell in the same direction as he expected. An open space had been reserved there, and the tree fell directly to the ground.
"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Come here and collect this tree into wood..."
Wang Shi shouted, and four or five people nearby rushed forward, but Wang Shi wiped his sweat and prepared to go to the side to drink some water and rest.
At this time Zhou Zhenghao happened to call him.
"Wang Shi..."
"What!……"
When he turned around and saw that it was Zhou Zhenghao, Wang Shi was slightly startled. As a tree feller, the lord had basically ignored him. Why did he suddenly come to him in person today?
Seeing Zhou Zhenghao still surprised him,
"Lead!...Lord..., you have something to do with me..."
Wang Shi was a little dull and didn't know what to say.
Zhou Zhenghao went over and patted his shoulder with a smile, and found that Wang Shi's body was very strong, and the muscles on his shoulders were even tighter, containing explosive power.
"Wang Shi, I really came to see you today. Don't be so nervous. We have known each other for a long time. It's a good thing to come to you today. Don't worry..."
Zhou Zhenghao saw that Wang Shi was a little embarrassed and quickly enlightened him.
He knew that Wang Shi was a dull, honest man who was not good at words, but during this period he was very loyal to him, and he did his work personally.
It can be seen from the fact that he cut down the tree himself just now, so Zhou Zhenghao spoke first.
"Wang Shi, you are now a leader after all. With so many people under your control, do you still need to chop down the trees yourself?..."
"I'm sorry, lord!... I'm just like this. If I don't cut down two trees a day, my hands feel itchy. Yes, lord, what do you want from me? Just give me an order, or ask Brother Zhang to come over and tell you.
Already..."
"Zhang San?..., he couldn't explain clearly. I have to tell you this matter in person. Well, let's do this. Find me 100 people who are hard-working and willing to do the work. In addition, choose a team leader for me.
I want to use it now..."
"good!……"
This Wang Shi is really down-to-earth, he doesn't even ask what he is doing, he just turns around and greets people.
Zhou Zhenghao originally wanted to explain it to him, but it was okay to see him like this.
In the shade of the tree, the tree that Wang Shi cut down just now still has a stump of more than 1m high, which is perfect for sitting on and taking a rest.
Although Wang Shi was dull, he was definitely not slow in doing things. He soon led a group of people over. Next to him was a young man in his twenties.
He looks tall and strong.
"This is Gu Ping. He has been working for me for a long time. He is a solid worker and has good skills. If you have anything to do, let him do it. Behind him are 100 people prepared for you...
…”
"You don't even ask me what I want these people to do..."
Zhou Zhenghao was a little curious and a little joking. He wanted to lighten the atmosphere with Wang Shi.
Unexpectedly, Wang Shi shook his head seriously,
"You don't need to tell me. I can only do some carpentry work, but I don't know anything else..."
"Okay then, go ahead and get busy, Gu Ping, you guys come with me..."
Zhou Zhenghao had no choice but to face the dull Wang Shi. He led the people directly out of the black tower. After walking out of the black tower, he led these people outside. He took the west gate of the city.
The target is of course the swamp. He is now taking more than a hundred people to plant ghost vines. Gu Ping
He originally reserved three ghost vines, but after defeating the fifth floor of the black tower, four survived. This means that he still has seven ghost vines in his hand. He needs to make a careful calculation here.
The status of this ghost vine in his heart was now higher than ever before.
What he is thinking about now is how to multiply these ghost vines quickly.
The city defense troops defending the city successfully opened the city gate. Zhou Zhenghao arrived a little early now. Under normal circumstances, the city gate would not be opened until 9 o'clock every morning, but now it is not even 8 o'clock.
Zhou Zhenghao led 100 people directly out of the secret passage. His current idea is very simple, which is to completely repair the secret passage into an open passage.
He said to Gu Ping, the team leader of 100 people,
"Your task is very simple, which is to build a road. There is nothing complicated about building a road. Seeing that there is no secret passage, there are often survivors, and the way out has been completely established. Find some wood or stones from the side, and move this
Road widening.
After it is built, you will use wood to make wooden fences on both sides of the road, and nail wooden signs on them.
All survivors are not allowed to go beyond this road and go to both sides into the swamp.
There are dangers in the swamp, and you are responsible for anything that happens. Do you understand?..."
This secret passage is not long or short, it is only 1 or 2km in distance, and it is winding, and Zhou Zhenghao's order requires relatively high standards.
Because he thought that he might have cavalry behind him, especially those heavy cavalry, these roads should be built stronger. It is best to lay a layer of stone slabs underneath and then a layer of soil on top.
In this way, we can ensure that our heavy cavalry can quickly pass through this road in the future.
Although there are only 100 people coming.
Zhou Zhenghao originally thought it was enough, but after hearing the workload, Gu Ping scratched his head and said to Zhou Zhenghao.
"Lord, this project is a bit big. If you don't have time, 100 of us can repair it slowly..."
"If 100 of you build it, how long will it take to complete this road?..."
"It will take at least two months..."
Good guy, Zhou Zhenghao realized after hearing this that he knew nothing about these civil engineering projects.
"Then look at how many people are needed to repair this road in the shortest time? How much time is needed? Give me a budget..."
There is no way, you have to consult professionals for professional matters.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Gu Ping is obviously also a very professional carpenter. He even seems to be more familiar with these civil engineering projects than Wang Shi. This is a professional counterpart.
I don’t know how Wang Shi found this undergraduate for himself.
"Lord, I have calculated it,"
After about half an hour of calculation, this person Gu Ping returned to Zhou Zhenghao and reported to him,
"If the lord uses the shortest time, then at least 500 people will be needed, and 500 people will be working at the same time, because both sides are mountainous, and it is easier to get stones. There is an open space outside, and there are some stones on the ground.
So if there are 500 people, I estimate that it will take half a month to make this road smooth and neat..."
"In this case,..."
Zhou Zhenghao nodded, this is completely acceptable, but he still has to go to Wang Shi to ask for more people. Wang Shi has enough people now, but Zhou Zhenghao asked another question.
"Then if I want to make this road a straight road, right...?"
"Lord, if there is no special need, there is no need to build a straight road. Such a curved and hidden road is also beneficial to the defense of our territory. If one day, there are monsters or other survivors who want to attack our city wall.
, this detour will cause them a lot of trouble..."
"Ah, I didn't expect you to pass the exam. Considering this,..."
Zhou Zhenghao looked at Gu Ping and nodded slightly. He didn't think much about it and gave the order directly.
"Okay, then you can go directly to Wang Shi and tell me if you want 400 more people, then you can plan to start construction immediately and try to have this road repaired in half a month..."
"Don't worry, Lord..."
Gu Ping nodded, turned around and ran towards the city. It was obvious that he was looking for Wang Shi to transfer people.
Zhou Zhenghao looked at the 100 people who had started to clear the road spontaneously, and nodded.
Waved at Zhang Sanyi.
"Let's go to the swamp and have a look..."
During this day, Zhou Zhenghao was covered in mud, and Zhang San behind him was even turned into a mud monkey, just like normal.
These two people spent the whole day in the swamp and visited almost all of this large swamp.
It was only at this time that Zhou Zhenghao had a certain impression of this swamp.
He first planted all seven ghost vines from the side, this time very close to the city gate. After planting, Zhou Zhenghao was worried.
He also called a man from the city defense army and asked him to stand guard here, not only on the city gate, but also on this piece of land.
Tell him that no one is allowed to come near this area.
At the same time, he also said hello to Ren Dong and added a sentry post here.
After taking over Zhou Zhenghao's advice, Ren Dong directly sent two more people there and made arrangements for them.
They would go out to stand guard when the city gate opened in the morning, and they would come back when the city gate closed. There was no need to spend the night outside the city wall.
After the city gate is closed, there will be no survivors outside the city.
This arrangement is also reasonable.
A few days passed and nothing really happened.
One thing Zhou Zhenghao must do every day is to run to see the ghost vine he planted. Who knows how many days have passed.
There seems to be no change in the ghost vine, and there is no obvious growth. The speed is very slow.
"What's going on?..."
Zhou Zhenghao rubbed his head and studied for a long time, and suddenly he came to his senses.
"This ghost vine of yours, even if it is a plant, is also a monster. It seems that this guy needs to absorb monsters or human flesh and blood in order to accelerate its growth.
The three ghost vines in the previous episode split into 27 in just a few days. It seems that the missing survivors made a big contribution..."
Thinking of this problem, Zhou Zhenghao held his head and squatted by the muddy water, feeling a little worried. He was not so mad that he would use his survivors to feed the ghost vine.
But if you don't feed it, the vine will grow too slowly.
"Lord, can we feed him monsters?..."
At this time, Zhang San behind him suddenly spoke. He had followed Zhou Zhenghao and ran here every day for the past few days. He would have known what Zhou Zhenghao was doing and listened to his proposal.
Zhou Zhenghao shook his head helplessly,
"Then how do we feed the monsters? After we kill the monsters, we don't leave any corpses at all, we just explode the gold coins and boxes..."
"Then it's okay if we don't kill them, but capture them alive..."
"Catch them alive!..."
Zhou Zhenghao was startled, stood up, and looked at Zhang San.
On the contrary, Zhang San was shocked.
"Please tell me, did I say something wrong?..."
"No!... Let's go, let's go catch a monster..."
Zhou Zhenghao kept his word and walked directly out through the secret passage.
This secret passage is now full of construction sites, people are moving rocks and wood, and people are coming and going.
After Zhou Zhenghao came out, he ran around. Now, the number of Abyss polluters wandering outside has been greatly reduced. He ran a long way before he found one.
This guy is a male.
You can't tell how old he is, his body is dark and skinny, and his hair is long, covering half of his dark face.
When you really find this Abyss Polluter, Zhou Zhenghao is in trouble again. Use your own attack power to shoot this guy to death.
"Zhang San, come on, be careful, don't kill him..."
Zhang San went up and pulled out his Chimera machete.
