We found this small county town.
"Liangshan... I see..."
No wonder that little island had formed as an inland island surrounded by water. It was Liangshan~
A good place, easy to defend and hard to attack. If I really decided to build a base someday, this could be one of the candidates.
As for those people, I'd take in anyone willing to join us. If they weren't, I'd drive them away.
As I thought, I drew a circle around Liangshan County on the map.
It was one of the candidate locations. It had a water source and plenty of land, and the surrounding terrain was quite good, suitable for both offense and defense. What's more, the mountain where Liangshan stood was also the highest point in the area.
From its summit, we could see everything around us.
And the Yellow River was nearby, making travel convenient.
Mm, my first backup choice.
I wondered when I'd be able to start building a base.
I didn't know. Maybe after finding Juanjuan, or perhaps after finding Juanjuan and wandering for a while longer.
At any rate, I'd marked this place.

All the while, the fuel kept running lower.
But there were still no houses around. According
