Chapter 3345: Base Camp
After a series of consumption, Su Xiao only had 81 points of active ore left. In contrast, he had sought the foundation for development.
Su Xiao left the underground market with Caesar. After returning to the surface, he came to a residential house in the back street of District 4.
Su Xiao prepared to use this place as a temporary stronghold and set a coordinate here.
Half an hour later, a large array was hidden in the carpet and sank into the ground below.
A crystal ball on the ground gradually dimmed and finally sank into the ground. This was a space prop, which Su Xiao bought for 350 soul coins. He didn't care what the specific ability of this prop was, he wanted the spatial characteristics of this thing.
Through the array, the wavelength of the crystal ball was changed to a directional frequency. In the next 3 hours, with the assimilation of the array, this crystal ball would act as a coordinate, that is, the initial coordinate.
After creating the initial coordinate, it would be very convenient for Su Xiao to come to Freedom City later. As long as he was on this continent, he could teleport to this temporary stronghold in Freedom City through the space array of the Demon Clan.
Here was not far from the "Borderlands." If there was an emergency, the coordinate set here was a retreat.
Contacting Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and learning that Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had succeeded, Su Xiao took Baha and Dorothy back to the hotel where he stayed, drove the convertible armored vehicle, picked up Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, changed to Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang driving, and headed straight out of the city.
The road was smooth all the way. It was Dorothy who was very surprised that a dog was driving. She initially thought Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang was an Alienated Beast and poked Xiang Bubu's back of the head with her finger, but was slapped on the back of the head by Baha's wing. Dorothy became honest.
Caesar chose to stay in Freedom City. If there was anything, contact via communicator. He had to open the situation here.
Liechao was almost at the Tribunal, which meant the duel between Li Xiniwei and the old vampire of the Tribunal was about to unfold.
Amu had long returned to the Doomsday Fortress 10 kilometers away. The Pig-headed Men bought from Freedom City were also being transported to the fortress.
One hour later, southeast of Freedom City, vehicles with searchlights on the roof illuminated the Doomsday Fortress and a large area in front. The smell of unburned compressed fuel and exhaust gas mixed and diffused in the air.
Vehicles loaded with Pig-headed Men were unloading. This time, Su Xiao wanted to use the fortress to carry these Pig-headed Men to the Borderlands. Although the Doomsday Fortress was a T5-level fortress, after dismantling unnecessary buildings on the first and second floors, and the third floor was also full of Pig-headed Men, it could barely fit. Note, it was fit, not standing and squeezing.
In the early morning of the night, Azba's subordinates completed the unloading in a rather violent way. After receiving the final payment, the convoy left. The Kin who came to deliver the goods didn't doubt Su Xiao using a T5-level fortress to "transport goods." In the eyes of those Kin, it was normal for a major customer who bought thousands of Pig-headed Men at a time to use a T5-level fortress to "transport goods."
Su Xiao didn't enter the fortress. It wasn't that he didn't want to return to the third floor of the fortress to rest comfortably, taking a mobile fortress once, but he really couldn't get in. When he saw the Pig-headed Men hugging the chandelier in the first floor of the fortress with a bit of panic in their eyes, he immediately gave up the idea of squeezing in.
The smell inside the fortress at this time was really hard to describe. After arriving at the Borderlands, it must be cleaned in all directions.
Half-closing the front door, Su Xiao gave instructions to the fortress through spiritual power. The mechanical tentacles of the fortress gradually unfolded, walking with huge strides, stepping on the roar, and the ground shook slightly.
Su Xiao leaned back in the passenger seat of the vehicle to nap. Freedom City was not far from the Borderlands, otherwise he wouldn't come to this place for supplies.
The reason why Freedom City had so many hunters and scavengers was this reason. Once a beast tide broke out on the Alienated Beast side, Freedom City would enter a state of preparation for war.
Don't think that the fortress city was a particularly safe place. What was truly safe and comfortable was the further Ring City. Big figures had already lived in Ring City.
No words all the way. When the morning sun rose and was about to set again, Su Xiao finally arrived at the Borderlands. Looking at the time, it was 3:00 PM.
Because it hadn't been polluted by industry, the air here was exceptionally fresh. Looking ahead, the mountains stretched, and vertical rock walls towered, covered with a kind of poisonous thorn vine. This terrain and poisonous thorn vine were excavated and cultivated when humans were in charge. To this day, the Kin still enjoyed the shade of this.
Su Xiao didn't stop because of the strange scenery in front of him. He walked along the steep rock wall for about three kilometers and arrived at a valley.
This valley opened a very wide gap in the stretching mountain range. No matter how you looked at it, this was deliberately left, just like blocking water. If you only block it, it will burst the embankment sooner or later. Leaving a place for flood discharge is the long-term plan.
In the middle section of this valley, there were several large holes with a diameter of more than ten meters, inside which water was stored. This was the T2-level fortress sent by the "Kin Alliance" to mine here before. As a result, they couldn't stand the harassment and impact of Alienated Beasts after mining for a while, and all retreated, leaving only these mineral wells that had accumulated water.
In normal times, Alienated Beasts, humans, and Kin were in a relationship of not offending each other, and would maintain a false peace. When the three parties were full of strength, they would touch each other, and they would be in pain until they could be honest.
History tells us that no intelligent creature will learn any lesson from history. Repeating the same mistakes is a common occurrence, and superimposing is also occasional.
Su Xiao looked around at this spacious valley full of greenery. The south side of the valley was a steep rock wall. This rock wall was a full hundred meters high and was the front of a giant peak with an oval top.
The north side of the valley was an upward gentle slope. The width between the north and south sides was too wide. With the volume of the T5-level fortress, it was impossible to block it completely. T2-level fortress wouldn't work either, T1-level was about the same.
Su Xiao controlled the fortress to dock on the steep rock wall on the south side of the valley, letting the fortress lean against the rock wall behind, fitting tightly.
The fortress front door opened. Under the shouting of Pig-headed Man Hausman and Steel Tooth, the Pig-headed Men poured out of the fortress. That feeling was like a grain bag with a hole in the bottom corner, and the grain inside poured out.
Some Pig-headed Men fell to the ground and made humming sounds, while some squatted there retching. Su Xiao ordered Hausman and other six Pig-headed Man heads to lead the Pig-headed Men to wash in the dozen large water pits nearby.
A total of 20,000 Pig-headed Men, with the tough physique of Pig-headed Men, this distance wouldn't cause problems, but three Pig-headed Men died, hammered to death by fighting each other. It could only be said that they were worthy of being defective products that no one wanted. They were squeezed into that ghost appearance, and still had the leisure to fight. It was simply fighting 24 hours a day.
Su Xiao walked into the innermost part of the first floor of the fortress, pressed his hand on the wall. Under his spiritual power control, the gray-black flesh structure on the wall began to shrink, and the outer metal structure dissolved, spreading to the surroundings.
A few minutes later, an arched door hole about 10 meters wide and equal to the first floor of the fortress appeared in front of Su Xiao. Because the fortress leaned against the mountain, what was exposed at this time was the mountain.
What made Su Xiao gratified was that due to the many characteristics of Pig-headed Men, except for female Pig-headed Men who couldn't mine, others were strong and strong, so they were defaulted to soldier-type units.
Su Xiao activated War Lord, and two types of bonus effects were triggered simultaneously.
1. Morale +70 points (can be triggered by 500 soldier-type units, already triggered).
2. All real attributes +20 points, no luck attribute (can be triggered by 10,000 soldier-type units, already triggered).
The title effect had just been completed, and some Pig-headed Men became restless. In the past, they didn't listen to orders. Now with morale +70, feeling in their hearts that Su Xiao was their backer, some Pig-headed Men were even more eager to try, ready to hammer other Pig-headed Men.
Actually, it couldn't be blamed on them. Their daily life was monotonous and boring. Fighting was the most interesting thing. After a long time, they were both addicted and head-on.
Under the morale bonus, Su Xiao gave the first order to the Pig-headed Men: go to the tool room on the second and third floors to take mining picks, and go to the inside of the first floor of the fortress to throw the mountain.
The work of Pig-headed Man laborers in the past was to dig the active ore wrapping rock that was harder than most metals. Now letting them use mining picks to dig the mountain, the speed was fast enough to make people drop their jaws.
First, ten Pig-headed Men worked. After digging a passage in the mountain, nearly a hundred Pig-headed Men went on stage. Afterwards, there were hundreds, and the rocks they dug were transported by other Pig-headed Men with mine carts to the dozen abandoned mineral wells outside, filling them in.
The Pig-headed Men at this time might not be good at other things, but mining and digging mountains, the efficiency was extremely amazing.
That night, according to Su Xiao's requirements, the mountain body connected to the back door of the fortress was basically hollowed out. The thickness of the mountain body was not more than 5 meters. It was mining while placing liquid fluid support structures. This thing was used when mining. Even if the mining rock of the active mineral vein was hard, there was also a collapse problem. No one could guarantee that the entire mineral vein was a whole. In terms of mining, Pig-headed Men were professional.
Relying on the mining technology developed in this world, the three connected mountain peaks were hollowed out, and it was guaranteed that there would be no collapse within a few months. It was not certain for a long time. If there was a need in the future, it could continue to dig inward.
Su Xiao stood in the mountain space opened up. On the ceiling that looked like an inverted large bowl, there were many holes with a diameter of 2 meters. This was for lighting. These lighting holes also had to be rainproof, concealed, etc. Not only that, many ventilation holes had to be made here.
The T5-level fortress couldn't accommodate more than 10,000 Pig-headed Men. Arranging small rooms or collective dormitories inside could accommodate a few hundred people at most. The space opened up in the mountain behind was enough for the Pig-headed Men at this time to live.
Su Xiao was surrounded by busy Pig-headed Men. They were building collective dormitories and single rooms in the mountain space. This was a kind of detachable wood + metal hybrid house, divided into two types, small rooms and collective dormitories.
The area of the small room was about 15 square meters. If two Pig-headed Men were just living, it could be considered spacious. The collective dormitory could accommodate 30 Pig-headed Men, and inside were four large beds.
Su Xiao bought 1,000 single small rooms and 350 collective dormitories, solving the housing problem of 12,500 Pig-headed Men.
Because Su Xiao bought a large number of this kind of hybrid house, the seller was happy to close his mouth, so he gave away matching bedding, etc. Even so, that side also made a fortune. After all, Su Xiao paid 6,500 kilograms of active ore for this.
Su Xiao also booked more with the seller. Normally, without paying a deposit, the seller wouldn't take the risk to produce in large quantities with mechanization in the factory. However, Su Xiao's first purchase was too generous. Looking at the gaze of that Kin sales lady, even if she came once on the spot after the transaction, it was absolutely no problem.
The manufacturing difficulty of hybrid houses was high, requiring near-full mechanization, but it was very simple to assemble.
After completing the composition, the inside of the walls of these houses was supported, and the hollow wall interlayer reached 30 cm thick. After injecting foamed concrete into the wall interlayer, these houses didn't have the feeling of simple board houses, but more like normal houses built on the ground. It could only be said that this money was not spent in vain.
Living in board houses wouldn't give people a strong sense of belonging, nor would they have the feeling that this was a home. But this kind of stable and beautiful house was different. The Pig-headed Men living here would definitely develop a sense of belonging and attachment in their hearts.
That night, the Pig-headed Men who were first transported and then worked immediately after arriving at the place, didn't even have time to rest, and again majestically took mining shovels and other tools to the nearby Kin territory, by digging C-shaped ditches, to lead the river water to flow past the fortress. The work efficiency of the Pig-headed Men was quite good.
The Pig-headed Men first took a bath, tidied up their personal hygiene, and then carried out a comprehensive cleanup of the fortress and the mountain space connected to the back of the fortress.
After finishing these, the Pig-headed Men received a portion of food in several large restaurants in the back. They all found that today's dinner was something they hadn't seen before.
In front of the collective dormitories and houses, the Pig-headed Men were devouring food. They were all confused today. Not only did they not mine, the work was much easier, and the food was raised by several dimensions. Although the Pig-headed Men hadn't eaten superior food, everyone could tell whether it was delicious or not.
That night, snoring sounds came one after another in the collective dormitories.
What was even more interesting was that a female Pig-headed Man peeked in a single room. After confirming that there was no guard, she closed the door and sat on the bed with a male Pig-headed Man. This male Pig-headed Man looked fierce, but he was very at a loss now, even a bit at a loss. His name was Steel Tooth.
It could be said that the happiness of these ten thousand Pig-headed Men rose, but this was not without a price. Tomorrow, they would know what to pay to enjoy all this in front of them. ===== CHAPTER 3346 =====
