I build a shelter in the eternal night.

Chapter 34 "Man proposes, God disposes; I did my best."

"Ah."

Chen Fan looked at Zhou Mo, who was covered in dust and grime. His already somewhat weathered face was now red from the wind and rain, and his lips were turning blue. Clearly, he was not in good condition.

Even a normal person couldn't withstand running back and forth in a storm for so long.

Moreover, there was the psychological pressure of having to get back to camp before dark.

He paused for a moment and then said softly.

"It's a pity."

"You must be tired from your journey. Go back inside, change into some dry clothes, and warm yourself by the fire."

"It's not hard."

Zhou Mo shook his head, took out a burlap sack from his pocket, and pointed to his subordinate: "All the strange stones from that camp are here, a total of 48. He collected the strange stones with me. I put the rest of the valuable ones in this cart and brought them back. They should all be useful."

"it is good."

Chen Fan smiled and took the bag.

He naturally understood the meaning behind Zhou Mo's words.

"Go and rest."

There was still an hour until nightfall.

Time is tight.

Chen Fan walked alone to the area of ​​the city wall that had been damaged by the Flesh Worm Monster the night before. The green viscous liquid left behind after the Flesh Worm Monster exploded had caused some damage to the wall, leaving many fist-sized holes.

The wall is three meters wide.

This level of damage has virtually no impact on the city wall.

After all, they were just a few who slipped through the net, and their numbers weren't too large.

next moment--

The city walls within the camp suddenly transformed into architectural phantoms composed of streaks of white light. Within these white lines, the area in front of them could be clearly seen, with several white lines broken and requiring repair.
-
"Seven Mysterious Stones are needed for this restoration."
-
“The price is not expensive.”

Chen Fan took out a strange stone from his pocket and crushed it. The strange stone then turned into a milky white liquid, which slowly flowed into the building phantom in front of him. The broken white lines began to repair themselves rapidly.

About a few breaths later.

The building's silhouette solidified once more.

The city wall in front of us has been restored to its original state, completely intact and brand new.

"I wonder how the other architects repaired the city walls."

Chen Fan turned his head and looked at the darkening sky, murmuring to himself. He was able to repair the city wall so easily because he had a panel. How could other architects who couldn't see the panel repair the city wall?

You can't just break it and build a new one, can you?

He knew that "Jiangbei City" was a natural area of ​​strange fires, and it was quite large. The three major forces in the city had jointly built a wall that surrounded the entire city, which was much larger than his own.

Without the means to repair the wall, the maintenance cost would be astronomical.

I didn't think much about it.

He began to count the number of his strange stones.

There are a total of 508.

It's a considerable sum, definitely not enough to upgrade the wall to level 2. Upgrading this wall to level 2 requires 1600 Mysterious Stones, but it's enough for him to further enhance the camp's strength.

There were two level-three arrow towers on the city wall at this time.

The strength is sufficient.

But the quantity is insufficient.

Building a level 1 arrow tower requires 10 Mystic Stones.

He first used 100 strange stones to build 10 level 1 arrow towers, and neatly inserted them all into the slots behind the city wall crenellations.

All 10 arrow towers are made entirely of wood, and they look very fragile.

Its power is not quite enough.

He then used another 200 Mystic Stones to upgrade all 10 arrow towers to level 2.

The strange stone turned into a milky white liquid.

The arrow towers also began to change, as if they were alive and began to grow, transforming into a mixed structure of wood and stone. The sturdiness of the arrow towers themselves was improved, and they were also being upgraded in various directions.

All options were set to "Enhance the power of the crossbow".

He then used 26 more strange stones to forge a 26-meter-long copper pipe, connecting the 10 arrow towers to the strange fire in the center of the camp.

Since he had already connected the two level 3 arrow towers to the wraith fire in the camp, all he needed to do now was connect the two arrow towers he had built earlier to these ten arrow towers one by one along the city wall using copper pipes.

The shortest distance.

It also saves the most resources.

next moment!
The copper pipes connected to the bases of the ten arrow towers placed on the city wall emitted a white light and quickly disappeared into the wall.

He placed 50 strange stones in the strange fire as a reserve.

It is used to maintain the daily consumption of the Ghost Fire and to provide energy for the Arrow Tower.

So far——

The defenses of the entire camp have been significantly improved.

"."

Standing on the city wall, Chen Fan looked at the arrow towers erected on the wall within the camp and smiled with slight satisfaction. In this way, the security of the camp was greatly improved.

Then he gazed into the distance and said softly.

"It's all about human effort; I've done my best."

"The rest is up to God."

Although the camp's security has been greatly improved, it still cannot withstand a direct attack from the "flesh worm tide".

After a series of operations.

There are 132 Mysterious Stones remaining.

He looked at the building on the lord's panel that he hadn't built yet. Now he had extra strange stones, so he built the building.

"Offering sacrifices at the tower".

"Special resources can be obtained, requiring 20 Mysterious Stones to craft."

After 20 strange stones shattered.

A phantom image of a sacrificial tower made of white lines appeared before my eyes. It was about one meter tall and quite small. It was an extremely small and exquisite pagoda with a total of 7 stories.

It is made entirely of bluestone.

The eaves of the tower are adorned with dark red.

He placed them next to the wooden house.

The wall surrounding the camp is a circular wall with a diameter of ten meters. The area inside is not very large. At this time, a wooden house, a fire trap, and a watchtower have been set up, and the remaining space is already a bit cramped.

But there's no other way; if the area gets any larger, the cost of the city walls will increase.

This is the best we can do for now; we'll make adjustments later.

Chen Fan looked at the extremely small sacrificial tower in front of him, and a panel slowly popped up in front of him.
-
"Sacrifice the corpse of a strange creature to obtain special resources."

"The stronger and more numerous the monster corpses are, the higher the value of the special resources obtained."

"This building cannot be upgraded."
-
"The sacrifice of offerings?"

Chen Fan nodded thoughtfully. The building was quite nice. The corpses of the monsters he had killed in the past few days had been buried in the farmland. Although they could be used as fertilizer, it was a bit too much.

The existence of the sacrificial tower actually served to effectively digest the corpses of the monsters that would follow.

He didn't do anything else after that.

Instead, they quietly await the arrival of eternal night.

An hour later.

A familiar and heavy darkness appeared on the horizon and enveloped the entire world like a tide.

A halo of light, like an eggshell, once again enveloped the camp.

"Ok?"

The lame monkey, who was lying on the crenellations on the city wall, noticed something amiss immediately. The normally circular safe zone of the camp suddenly bulged outwards. A look of confusion flashed in his eyes: "This..."

"How about it?"

Chen Fan chuckled softly, gazing at the gray fog outside the camp, patiently awaiting the arrival of the strange creatures tonight.

That's his new masterpiece: the safe zone overflows!
This inconspicuous protrusion will become the starting point for many of his future fantastical architectural ideas.

"Why is there an extra *head?"

"."

Chen Fan glanced at the lame monkey before looking away and saying expressionlessly, "Be vigilant."
