How could he let another sleep beside his bed?
"..."
Chen Fan stood in the Deep Pit, looking at the bustling construction scene ahead.
The City Wall on both sides are recessed into the ground to ensure that the broken stones and Soil can flow out. Zhou Mo and others are busy dealing with the flowing stones Soil, but the workload is really quite large.
The group was clearly overwhelmed.
We lacked suitable tools, and we didn't have enough manpower.
Currently...
It will take at least three days for his envisioned Rear Base to take shape.
That's all.
After a whole day of work, there was still half an hour before dark.
The Cannon Tower ceased bombardment.
"Call..."
Chen Fan let out a soft breath and stood on the City Wall at the Cave entrance, looking into the Cave. After a day of relentless bombardment, the Cave was already ten meters high and thirteen meters deep, Cave height exceeding that of the City Wall.
Small on the outside, large on the inside.
Every now and then, Soil collapses from the top of the Cave.
The ground was also a mess.
"Station Master..."
Zhou Mo sat down on the ground, panting, and said in a hoarse voice, "The outside is almost done, the rest will have to be cleaned up tomorrow."
They didn't have the manpower or resources to remove the Soil and rubble, so they simply let it slide freely along the gaps in the City Wall to the original Village location, and flattening it as much as possible was all they could do.
The inside of the Cave wasn't even paved.
The plan for the Rear Base is wonderful.
But with just these few people, it was really difficult to carry out.
Behind them, King Mazi Qi Chong, and the others were also panting heavily, unable to catch their breath; they had indeed been exhausted these past few days.
"No rush, we'll talk about it tomorrow."
"Thank you for your hard work, everyone."
Chen Fan created an Eerie Fire and placed it in the deepest part of the Cave. He then put the "Clearwind Formation" Exotic Treasure Formation Disc and the "Mountain-Skeleton Embryo" into the Eerie Fire and connected the Copper Pipe that had been laid in the Canyon to the Eerie Fire.
The next moment--
The Clearwind Formation was activated first.
A faint, visible Clearwind swept through the Camp, making one feel a slight chill in their ankles. Walking felt like being pushed along by a ghost from behind, significantly increasing their speed.
Standing on the City Wall, he could feel the Clearwind brushing against his ankles.
Chen Fan tried walking a few steps on the City Wall, and his speed was indeed much faster than usual. It felt quite strange, a bit like the feeling of a flat Elevator in an airport, where one step counts as two.
It also has a dust-removing effect.
Each day of operation requires 1 Eerie Stone; the larger the Camp area, the more stones are consumed.
Just then!
"Click... click."
One after another, ghastly white and thick bones extended from the Eerie Fire he had placed and burrowed into the ground, rapidly moving and traversing the mountains surrounding the Cave. The Cave ceiling, which had been collapsing intermittently just moments before, instantly became extremely solid, and not a single pebble fell.
There is no longer any risk of the building collapsing.
After placing these two Exotic Treasure in the Eerie Fire, the Rear Base Camp finally began to take shape.
As for structures like Sacrificial Tower in Farmland, he has not yet made any arrangements for them.
At least the Cave should be leveled before building anything, especially since the current Cave is too small and doesn't meet his expectations for the Rear Base. Construction will need to continue for a few more days.
He tried again to build the "Vehicle Workshop," his newly acquired Yellow Grade building.
The architectural silhouette, which should have been composed of white lines, was now entirely composed of Red Grade lines.
This building occupies too large a area.
It's roughly equivalent to one and a half times the current Cave area. The Cave simply can't fit this building unless it's placed in Village outside the Cave, where there's enough space. But that wouldn't fit his Rear Base strategy; if they encounter the enemy, this Vehicle Workshop would be the first thing to be destroyed.
But.
Although the Rear Base is only in its initial stages, the key defensive City Defenses have been largely completed.
"Get a good night's sleep, everyone."
Chen Fan glanced at the Crippled Monkey and the others and chuckled, "I took a nap this afternoon, so I'll be on watch tonight."
None of them declined.
After descending the City Wall and entering the makeshift Wooden Hut inside the Cave, I almost collapsed and fell asleep immediately.
These past few days have been really tiring.
So tired that you can't even stand up. When you're exhausted, you don't have time to think about anything else; you just want to sleep.
Soon.
The faint sound of snoring could be heard coming from inside the Wooden Hut.
Chen Fan walked out of the Cave alone and looked around.
This Deep Pit, located at the foot of a cliff, is quite large.
It's a perfect square.
It is approximately several hundred meters wide.
The Natural Eerie Fire Zone can only cover the entire Village, occupying Xiao Yi of the entire Deep Pit. It cannot completely cover the Deep Pit and is located exactly in the center of the Deep Pit.
The others were all asleep.
After glancing around, he continued laying Copper Pipe. He hadn't used up his free quota for the day, so he started from the Cave and laid Copper Pipe Qidian. This time, he wasn't building a road.
Instead, they are expanding the Camp area.
Last night, a big guy was watching him intently all night.
They'll most likely come again tonight.
Tonight, the moment he hears any noise, he will quickly activate the Copper Pipe, instantly expanding the Camp's area and bringing the enemy into the attack range of his Cannon Tower, thus eliminating this threat.
How can I allow someone else to snore beside my bed?
But...
It's worth noting that the Copper Pipe can be up to one meter wide, and when activated, it can extend to include half a meter of the surrounding area within the Camp, meaning the Camp can be up to 2 meters wide, which is perfectly adequate for paving roads.
However, to cover the entire Deep Pit and bring it under the Camp's Deep Pit, the number of Copper Pipe required would be astronomical.
Preliminary calculations suggest that approximately 200,000 meters of Copper Pipe would be needed.
His daily free quota is only 10,000 meters, and today he only has less than 3,000 meters left.
Then--
Like branches Branching Out, he extended the Branch Copper Pipe from the Cave entrance to the bottom of the Deep Pit.
This method doesn't completely encompass the Deep Pit within the Camp's perimeter, but it can illuminate certain areas at night. As long as the enemy appears within these extended Camp areas, the Cannon Tower can be activated.
Five Watchtower were built and placed evenly at the bottom of the Deep Pit, connected to Copper Pipe.
Once activated, the Watchtower provides a 50-meter field of vision outside the Camp. Although it can only provide vision and the Cannon Tower cannot attack, as long as there is vision, he can activate the Ghostly Green Mourning Lantern in his hand.
He had to deal with this unknown guy first Rear Base could be safe.
After finishing the work.
Eternal Night fell as expected.
Chen Fan sat quietly on the City Wall at the entrance of the Cave, holding Ghostly Green Mourning Lantern. The City Wall was embedded in the mountain, so it was protected from the rain. He looked up at the mountain above and waited patiently.
I don't know how much time passed.
"Bang bang bang..."
The familiar sound came again—the sound of the Strange Entities falling from the cliff into the Deep Pit.
"It's coming."
He quickly perked up; that's how it was last night.
Sure enough, after several sounds of Strange Entities falling off the cliff, and after about the time it takes for Incense Stick to burn, he once again clearly heard a rustling sound in the rain—the sound of a giant object moving in the rain.
One two three...
Chen Fan patiently counted down the seconds in his mind, and then suddenly started the Copper Pipe after the countdown ended.
The cold, white Flame rapidly flowed from the Eerie Fire within the Cave into the Copper Pipe, illuminating all the Watchtower along the way.
The next moment!
The Deep Pit, which had been shrouded in Eternal Night, was instantly illuminated.
Branches radiating Yellow Grade light were laid out flat in the Deep Pit, and the lit Watchtower instantly dispelled the Eternal Night at the bottom of the Deep Pit, turning it into Gray Fog.
He saw it.
He saw a gigantic, Crocodile- like monster in the Gray Fog, carefully picking up a Strange Entities's corpse from the bottom of the cliff at the edge of the Deep Pit, preparing to leave. But the sudden illumination of the Deep Pit clearly startled the creature.
The Crocodile quickly dropped the carcass that was already in its mouth and rushed into the Canyon Passage in a panic.
They disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.
The enormous sound of their running echoed continuously on both sides of the Canyon Passage.
"..."
Chen Fan stood expressionless on the City Wall, remaining silent. Only now did he realize what kind of person had been observing him last night, and that the other party had been extremely cautious both last night and tonight. The sounds he could hear were the sounds the other party made after minimizing their movements as much as possible.
When the other party actually starts running.
The sound was deafening, echoing throughout the Canyon, its lingering echoes lasting for a long time.
