In the valley, the team members sat together, looking at the land stained red with blood, full of unwillingness. The captain took a deep breath and broke the silence. "Don't be discouraged, everyone, let's think about what the problem is. Next, we will re-plan the route and we must find the stronghold of Mysterious Faction." Everyone nodded, fighting spirit rekindled in their eyes, and a fierce discussion began. Whether they can find the correct route is still unknown...
At the same time, Human Race Factions's fortification reinforcement project was in full swing. Hu Shu shuttled between various tribes, paying close attention to the progress of the project. He knew that at this crisis-ridden moment, solid fortifications were an important guarantee for Human Race to resist Mysterious Faction.
When Hu Shu came to a tribe named Shiyuan Tribe, he was keenly aware of something strange. Although the defenses here seemed to have begun to take shape, after careful observation, Hu Shu's face gradually became solemn. He picked up a stone used to build the city wall and gently broke it, the stone broke easily and broke into several pieces. Hu Shu also checked some supporting structures and found that the wood was soft and could not withstand too much pressure. Not only that, there were also serious problems with the design of the entire fortification, with a loose layout and lack of effective defense levels. Once attacked, it would be easy for the enemy to break through.
There was a surge of anger in Hu Shu's heart. He realized that such defenses could not effectively resist Mysterious Faction's attack. They were simply making fun of Human Race's life. He immediately summoned Shiyuan Tribe and the leaders of several surrounding tribes.
Not long after, the tribal leaders came over one after another. Looking at Hu Shu's gloomy face, they felt faintly uneasy in their hearts. Hu Shu threw the broken stone in his hand to the ground and shouted angrily. Said: "Look, this is what you call a fortification. The materials are of such inferior quality and the design is so unreasonable. If Mysterious Faction were to attack us now, what would you do to resist? Are you going to risk the lives of your tribe?"
The leaders looked at each other, some lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly into Hu Shu's gaze, while others showed disapproval. One of the leaders, who was short in stature and had the head of a deer, named Wumu, murmured in a low voice, "Although this material is poor, it can be used. It would be a waste of resources to make new materials..."
Hearing this, Hu Shu shot his eyes like sharp knives at Wumu, scolding. "What's the deal? You are joking with the safety of the entire tribe! Human Race is facing an unprecedented crisis now. Every detail is related to life and death, and there is no room for sloppiness! In order to save those resources, you ignored the lives of your tribe. Where is your conscience?"
Wumu was frightened by Hu Shu's gaze and did not dare to speak anymore. The other leaders also looked ashamed. Hu Shu took a deep breath, tried to calm down his emotions, and said, "Now is not the time to hold people accountable. The top priority is to make rectifications immediately."
Having said that, Hu Shu immediately organized personnel to re-purchase materials. Relying on his prestige in Human Race, he quickly deployed a batch of high-quality stones and solid wood, and at the same time arranged for personnel who were proficient in fortification design to re-plan the defense fortifications according to the correct plan.
Wu Zetian also came to assist. She allocated resources from all parties in an orderly manner and directed the division of labor. She shuttled around the construction site, and her clear and firm voice kept ringing. "More stones will be transported here, and the support structure over there needs to be reinforced..." Under her supervision, the rectification work was carried out in an orderly manner.
However, the rectification work was not all smooth sailing. Although some leaders of the tribes ostensibly obeyed Hu Shu's arrangements, they secretly obeyed and were not interested in the rectification work. Hu Shu saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. He knew that the actions of these tribes would not only affect the progress of the entire fortifications, but may also cause greater conflicts within Human Race.
At a construction site, Hu Shu once again discovered a problem. The iron bars that were supposed to reinforce the city wall were actually replaced with ordinary tree branches. Hu Shu was furious. He grabbed the tribal leader responsible for the matter on the spot and asked loudly, "What on earth do you want to do? Are you defending the enemy, or opening the door for the enemy?"
The leader was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground and cried, "Master Hu, I was wrong. I just thought these iron bars were too difficult to find, so... I just wanted to use branches instead..."
Hu Shu kicked him away and said coldly, "Replacement? This is an extremely stupid act of yours! From now on, you will be dismissed and someone else will take over. If this happens again, don't blame me for being rude!"
As the rectification work progressed, more and more problems were exposed. While dealing with these problems, Hu Shu also had to appease the emotions of other tribes and prevent them from being affected by these bad behaviors. He traveled between tribes every day, his voice became hoarse from shouting, and his feet had blisters, but he still gritted his teeth and persisted.
Wu Zetian looked at the tired figure of Hu Shu, feeling both distressed and admired. She worked harder to assist Hu Shu, not only playing an important role in resource allocation and progress supervision, but also often comforting tribe members who complained about the rectification work.
With the joint efforts of the two men, the rectification of some tribes' fortifications has initially achieved results. Strong city walls have been re-erected, and reasonable defense layouts have gradually taken shape. However, the rectification work of many tribes is still in progress, and the time and resources required are still a huge challenge.
Although the hidden dangers of the fortifications have been discovered, rectification will require time and resources. Before the rectification is completed, if Mysterious Faction attacks, can Human Race be able to barely resist it with the existing defenses? Are there any other hidden actions that are detrimental to Human Race Unification in the tribes that cut corners? Hu Shu looks at the fortifications that have not yet completed the rectification, and the worries in his heart are getting heavier...
