Chen Jiadu lived a life of going out early and returning late. He went out to collect resources in the morning, reinforced the thorn wall in the afternoon, and by the way, mastered the use of wood-related abilities.

The outer side of the wall is covered with thorns and bushes with dense spikes. If you accidentally bump into them, you might get pierced all over!

Although we don't know when the people will move into the city, we still have to build the necessary infrastructure as much as possible.

In the past few days, Chen Jia collected a total of 500 units of wood and 300 units of stone.

First, spend 50 units of wood and 20 units of stone to build a public toilet with separate genders.

Not far from the public toilet, she spent 200 units of wood and 50 units of stone to reclaim 10 rectangular farmlands, each of which was 20 square meters, for a total of 200 square meters.

Finally, 200 units of wood and 100 units of stone were used to build two cabins, each of which is 50 square meters and can accommodate 10 people.

There are already three types of buildings in the city. It is not difficult to build four types of buildings. The difficult part is to meet the requirement of having one hundred subjects!

This is a remote place, and there was really no one to be seen except herself!

At the edge of the forest, a group of people were walking silently with their heads down. Both men and women, young and old, were dressed in rags.

They all looked pale and thin, their expressions gradually became numb, and they just subconsciously followed the leader.

"Ike, the sun is about to set!" Hannah followed her husband's pace unsteadily, reminding him that it was getting late and he should make plans early.

"I know." Ike pursed his dry lips. He looked stubbornly at the end of the road ahead and said in a low voice, "We are running out of dry food. If we can't find a territory to accept us, we may starve to death before the disaster comes..."

"Ike, let's go a little further before it gets dark. We are at the edge of the forest now. It will be very dangerous at night!" Erhu, who originally made a living by hunting in the village, observed the surrounding environment and made a suggestion.

Ike nodded and encouraged the others, "Everyone, hold on a little longer. We'll rest when we get to a suitable place!"

They were all from the same village, which was originally next to a small or medium-sized city that sheltered them.

Unfortunately, this disaster left the people in the city with no time to care about these insignificant civilians, and they were all abandoned!

The number of villagers who escaped is far more than the current number. They encountered obstacles and became exiles everywhere along the way, and now there are only nineteen people left.

Among these nineteen people, less than a quarter are strong laborers, while the elderly, children, women and children make up the majority.

Even if it is a small city, as long as the city is willing to open up, they will apply to join without hesitation!

A group of people walked behind us, you supported me and I dragged you, and we never stopped!

"Oh my god, am I dazzled?" Ike blinked and turned to his wife, "Hannah, did you see that? Is that a - territory?"

"Yes, I saw it!" Hannah confirmed, shaking his hand excitedly.

Erhu carried his sick brother on his back and walked a few steps forward, "Ike, Hannah, I saw it too, this is not a dream!"

Found a territory!

This is incredible!

Once this group of people who were already exhausted had a goal, they were instantly filled with strength, supporting them as they moved towards the territory.

At dusk, they stopped and lingered in front of the wooden gate of the territory.

This is a small territory, and the thorn wall is its best cover.

Due to the intimidation from the lord, they did not dare to rush in rashly.

A lord who can own a city must either be powerful himself or have the backing of a powerful mountain.

In either case, they are not people they can offend.

I just don’t know if the lord of this city is willing to accept them?

"Ike, look!" Erhu called out in a low voice. It seemed as if there was an invisible barrier in front of him. No matter how forward he moved, he could only stay where he was.

Ike stretched out his hand tentatively, but when he realized he couldn't reach it, he quickly retracted his hand, "Erhu, stop playing!"

It would be bad if the lord thought we were offensive!

Erhu also realized the inappropriateness of his behavior, and stepped back with a wry smile, staying beside his brother.

[Jia Jia, someone is coming!] San San reminded her.

Say Cao Cao Cao Cao is here!

Chen Jia straightened her clothes and walked out slowly.

The gate of the territory suddenly opened. Before it opened, the people outside did not hear any footsteps coming from inside.

The door suddenly opened and they were also startled.

The visitor stood at the door, wearing an elegant retro long dress that was spotless, her long jet-black hair was tied up, and she wore an exquisite flower crown on her head.

At first glance, it is obvious that they are vastly different from these refugees who have no food to eat!

Ike just glanced and quickly lowered his head. The others were not as brave as him. They all shrank back, not daring to make a sound or look up at anyone.

In their limited knowledge, looking up at the noble master is an act of disrespect, which will most likely result in a beating, and that is considered a light punishment!

"My Lord, our village was in trouble not long ago, and now we have nowhere to go. It's getting late, and we can't continue on our journey. Please be merciful and allow us to stay outside the city for one night!"

Being stared at by that cold and calm gaze, Ike was startled and quickly begged the lord for forgiveness.

Some cities do not allow refugees to approach, and Ike is afraid that the lord here is the same.

But they had been traveling for a whole day and night and could not walk any further!

Even if he could barely leave, the elderly, women and children in the team would not be able to hold on!

Ike thought sadly, are refugees no longer human? Even staying alive is a luxury...

"You can stay here." Chen Jia glanced at the exhausted people, turned and went in, and the door closed.

"Thank you, Lord!" Everyone cried for joy. Finally, they were not driven away!

It’s definitely not as safe outside the city as inside, but it’s much safer than sleeping in the wilderness!

"Hannah, you take a rest first, I'll go find some food!" Ike helped his wife sit down and rest, he was going to find something to eat nearby.

"I'd rather starve--" Hannah held her husband's hand, not wanting him to leave, "It's too dangerous, Ike!"

Just when Ike was about to convince his wife, the aroma of food overbearingly penetrated into their nasal cavity, and everyone's stomach suddenly started growling, one after another, and could not stop at all.

"Come and have a drink, the elderly and children are given priority!" Chen Jia opened the door, waved his hand, took out two extra-large wooden barrels from the space, and placed them side by side at the door.

One wooden barrel was filled with sticky rice porridge, and the other barrel was filled with stacked wooden bowls of the same size.

She knocked the edge of the barrel with an iron spoon to remind them to line up in order, "If it's not enough, you can add more!"

Chen Jia said to those who were about to bury their faces in the bowls.

She had no idea how much of a shock a bowl of sticky white rice porridge brought to this group of people!

Oh my god, this is actually white rice porridge!

Before becoming refugees, Ike and his friends couldn't eat such good food.

Being able to eat black porridge for every meal means being a good family!

Your Excellency is so generous!

Everyone who had eaten it for the second time was impressed that rice porridge was so delicious and made their stomachs feel warm.

They can eat this rice porridge for their entire lives!

Only when the barrel was empty did everyone put down their bowls reluctantly.

In fact, they even licked the bowl clean!

"Lord, you are so generous. What can we do for you?" Erhu rubbed his hands nervously. "Lord, we just want to express our gratitude to you. We have no other intentions..."

"I need a lot of resources. Are you willing to collect them for me?" Chen Jia put away the wooden barrel and asked.

"We are good at collecting resources!" Ike and other young and middle-aged men patted their chests. They used to collect resources and exchange them for some necessary supplies in the city.

They are very familiar with this job!

"Let's talk about it tomorrow. Now, you need to have a good rest!" Chen Jia stopped those who wanted to act now. "30 units of wood or 30 units of stone, you can come to me tomorrow to exchange for another meal, other resources are also OK..."

"Long live the lord!"

The crowd cheered.
