Ouyang Mingze looked at the dried blood on the ground and the fallen vegetation around it, and his heart was gripped with grief.

After expanding the search range again without giving up, he finally couldn't help but relax the corners of his mouth.

That’s great, Miss Ning and the others are fine!

The bloodstains only showed that they must have been injured, but the wounds were not serious and not life-threatening.

I took a deep breath to relax my tense heart, and couldn't help but pray in my heart: God bless!

We rushed all the way to our destination and told everyone the good news, and everyone looked relaxed.

Gu Yunting pulled Ouyang Mingze aside and looked at him seriously:

"Tell me the truth, is Miss Ning really okay?"

Ouyang Mingze was not angry either. He looked at him seriously and said, "Don't worry, I didn't lie. Miss Ning is really fine."

Gu Yunting finally relaxed his shoulders and breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good. Otherwise, I'd be upset for the rest of my life."

Ouyang Mingze patted his friend's shoulder and said, "We are too weak. We got the opportunity but missed it by mistake."

"You are wrong. Opportunities are not strong or weak. It is not easy to get them. We are already ahead of most people. We will become more and more powerful in the future." He glanced at the children.

Ouyang Mingze stared at the four children, and the thorn in his heart gradually melted away. The fat man was right, he was just obsessed with something.

"Thanks, Fatty."

Gu Yunting rolled his eyes. "Can you call me something else? I want to be fat again. Can you help me gain weight back?"

I habitually touch my round belly, but now it no longer feels firm, only a loose layer of skin.

I used to always want to lose weight, but the more I tried, the fatter I got. Now it’s as difficult as climbing to the sky to gain weight.

"It's better to be thinner. It's healthier to be thinner." Ouyang Mingze didn't respond and turned around to get busy.

Gu Yunting sighed, patted his belly and joined the weeding team.

The place they found was relatively flat, and there was a deep lake not far away.

There should have been people living here, like a production team.

The crowd found three houses close together, and the owners took away almost everything they could when they left.

But the house should have been renovated, and it was almost intact after being cleaned out.

After a busy and tiring day, we finally had a full meal in the evening and found a relatively safe campsite.

"Let's continue our rotation this morning and explore the surrounding area tomorrow. If there's no danger, we'll live here from now on. What do you think?"

Ouyang Mingze drank the only remaining pot of tea and talked about what he needed to do in the short term.

"Ouyang, if we really want to settle down here, shouldn't we take some defensive measures? I always feel a little uneasy and empty."

"We have nothing, how can we take defensive measures?" someone said somewhat frustratedly.

Everyone fell into deep thought for a moment, and Ma Junchuan raised his hand at this time.

Everyone looked over at him, "Junchuan, just tell me what you think." Ouyang Mingze looked at him encouragingly.

"I just like reading novels. I don't know if the things in novels can actually be used."

Before he could finish his words, Ma Chunmei slapped him anxiously, "Tsk, get to the point, you're talking too much."

Ma Junchuan touched his head with a blushing face, and everyone laughed kindly.

"Junchuan, it's okay, just tell us. Let's discuss it together." Fang Ju pulled the impatient Ma Chunmei and asked Ma Junchuan to speak quickly.

Ma Junchuan smiled, took out a notebook from his backpack and handed it over.

"This is something I came up with during my free time. Uncle Ouyang, can you and everyone else take a look? Is it feasible?"

Ouyang Mingze took the notebook and walked over to the fire, squinting his eyes to examine it carefully in the light.

"Xiaochuan, come and tell me about it."

Ma Junchuan hurried forward and sat down cross-legged, pointing to a watchtower drawn on the book.

"This is an ancient watchtower. Now that there is no electricity and no surveillance, it comes in handy." Everyone nodded. This is feasible and not difficult.

"This one I drew can be dug outside our houses, similar to an ancient moat. We can dig it deeper and insert wooden spikes inside to prevent large animals from rushing in. It can at least buy us some time."

Everyone's eyes lit up little by little. Although it was simple, it was the best defensive measure they could make at this stage.

"These forks here are trees. We can transplant some trees outside this ditch and place them in a staggered pattern around us to block our view. I think this will be of some help, right?"

Ma Junchuan rubbed his hands a little embarrassedly. He had seen these things in novels, but he didn't know how practical they were.

"Sure, kid. This is the only thing we can do right now. Once this protective forest is built, we can also dig traps inside it. It's really good." Gu Yunting couldn't help but praise.

"What we have is still not enough. We still need to go out and collect some supplies."

"Let's take things one step at a time. We're not many people, and it would be too dangerous to separate."

"I agree."

"I agree."

At this time, Gu Lian, who had been invisible all this time, raised her hand and asked, "Can I add something?"

"Sure, there's nothing wrong with that." Ma Chunmei replied readily.

Gu Lian smiled and looked at everyone with a firm look in her eyes, "I think we should dig a life-saving basement for the children."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned their attention to the four underage children.

"Yes, we must." One person nodded and the others followed suit.

Ma Junchuan stood up excitedly and said, "I have an idea. I saw two container trucks parked behind that shopping mall. We can go and retrieve the containers, then dig a basement and fill it up."

Everyone's eyes sparkled with wonder, yes, absolutely yes.

A small private base gradually took shape as we talked to each other.

Although Ning Ke is the only one here, fortunately she doesn't have to worry about food. The most urgent thing now is the house.

Before daybreak, she crawled out of the tent and began measuring and marking.

She decided to build a simple cold-resistant wooden house half underground.

After measuring the dimensions, he started swinging the pickaxe in the early morning when the weather was already starting to get a little chilly.

Seeing her busy all the time, the furry kids were already full of curiosity.

[Master, what are you doing? ] Bian Collie Aya couldn't help but ask.

"I'm digging the foundation for a house."

[Is this our house?] Aya looked at Ning Ke with bright eyes.

"Yes, it's our house. The weather will get cold soon, so we have to build it quickly." Ning Ke patiently answered it.

Aya can help.
