Chapter 1372

We'll talk about it when there's a chance later.

But these materials can all be kept, saves buying them later.

These are all fragile goods, later have the female villagers carry them.

After looking at all four walls, he looked toward the very center of the room.

There was still a wooden chest there.

This wasn't a treasure chest, just an ordinary wooden box for storing items.

Zhao Chi had a premonition that there was definitely something good inside.

Su Qin laughed and said: "Look at you, are you praying?"

"Praying, no, just looking forward to it."

"No need to look forward to it, inside is definitely a treasure chest."

"How do you know?"

"Just a guess."

"Let me see if your guess is right."

Zhao Chi stepped forward and lifted the chest lid.

Golden light reflected.

1 golden treasure chest sat right in the center.

Beside it were 5 silver treasure chests.

Not bad!

The golden treasure chest is definitely something good, and the silver treasure chests aren't bad either.

No need to carry these, just take them directly.

Theoretically these items now belong to the team as spoils of war, not to Zhao Chi.

But the teammate is Su Qin — even she herself belongs to Zhao Chi, so naturally these things can be pocketed directly.

The two carefully searched the room once more and found nothing else.

This room's search was complete.

Outside the house.

Su Qin's soldiers and Zhao Chi's female villagers had already discovered a large amount of supplies.

Besides the lord's residence, there were several other equally new storehouses scattered throughout this dilapidated territory.

"My lord, they're all large warehouses, all kinds of supplies are very plentiful."

Fang Li passed by and said excitedly to Zhao Chi.

"What do they have?" Zhao Chi asked.

"Basic resources, of course — wood, stone, fur, minerals, coal, food, lots of them."

"Take us to have a look."

"Okay." Fang Li nodded, then said to the 9 female builders behind her: "You few keep searching over there, I'll take my lord to the storehouses to have a look."

"Okay." The female builders left and continued searching.

"My lord, I'll take you to the nearest one first, let's go."

Under Fang Li's lead, Zhao Chi saw 5 large warehouses.

All were stone warehouses, and the supplies inside each one were very full.

And they were all new.

Even the food was very fresh.

This food is absolutely safe to eat.

While they were looking, another 5 large warehouses were discovered.

Every one was packed full of supplies.

Although they were all basic supplies, the quantity was large.

Zhao Chi didn't want to let any of it go.

But with so many basic supplies, and all very heavy, these few hundred people would probably take a long time to carry.

Su Qin said: "Are there not enough hands? Should we bring over those farming slaves? There should be quite a few slaves whose compliance has met the standard, right?"

That was actually a good idea.

And those slaves couldn't access any information.

They only knew Zhao Chi was transporting supplies from another territory, nothing else.

No fear of any leaks either.

And now that the battle was over, there were no secrets left.

After Zhuang Ya and the female soldiers' training these past days, over 3,000 slaves had met the compliance standard; bringing them over to carry would greatly speed up the transport.

Soon, Zhao Chi had someone bring those 3,000 slave workers to Taoyuan Village to begin participating in the transport work.

With these people joining, the speed immediately increased several times over.

3 hours later.

The supplies had only just been half transported.

Of the female soldiers sleeping on the ground, only a small portion had woken up.

The rest were still sound asleep.

Originally sleeping 100 minutes would have been enough to wake, but they had expended too much, and now had slept double the time to barely recover.

Zhao Chi didn't urge them on.

Instead, he had people deliver several carts of food and fresh water, so that the moment they woke up, they could eat right away.

Another half hour or so passed before these female soldiers and heroines gradually came to.

Just as Zhao Chi had guessed, the instant they woke, they were drawn in by the aroma wafting from the wooden carts.

The female soldiers could no longer bother with their usual grace; covered in slime and mud, they grabbed the food and started wolfing it down.

Tang Ruan was positively gorging herself.

Gu Qing drank a whole pot of milk, then sighed, "My lord, how are things now?"

Zhao Chi smiled, "Half the goods have been moved. If you'd slept a few more hours without waking, I'd have had no choice but to carry you all out myself."

Gu Qing laughed, "That would have been wonderful. If I'd known that, I wouldn't have woken up at all — let my lord carry me off."

"I'll carry you right now."

"Hehe, my lord, don't be silly."

Gu Qing gently pushed Zhao Chi's hand away.

After eating and drinking their fill, the female soldiers headed one after another to Penglai Town's Carefree Spring to wash themselves.

They were simply far too filthy this time.

Mud and slime clung to their bodies everywhere, and black grit drifted through the waters of Carefree Spring.

Only after quite a while did Carefree Spring finally manage to purify itself.

The moment the female soldiers finished washing, they all threw themselves into the hauling work.

With these female soldiers, whose load-bearing capacity was astonishing, the hauling speed shot up dramatically.

Another two-plus hours passed before all the supplies were finally moved.

The goods from the ten large warehouses piled into ten small mountains across the entire northern side of Taoyuan Village.

As for the Shi Laimu materials, they were carefully placed into the warehouses.

These supplies could simply be left here and transported slowly over time.

Everyone had already exited the Shi Laimu nest.

The slave laborers returned to Chaoge Village.

Su Qin's soldiers likewise headed back to Qingzhu Town.

The female soldiers and female villagers were sorting the supplies, preparing to store them in different warehouses shortly.

Zhao Chi, meanwhile, stood outside the Shi Laimu nest.

Beside him were Su Qin, Gu Qing, and the rest of the heroines.

Though this Shi Laimu nest was somewhat misnamed — in essence it was a lost human territory.

After all, this was only the most basic tier of nest, and the difficulty was relatively simple.

As their strength kept rising, if they connected to higher-tier nests, they would surely end up truly entering the magical beasts' nests.
