Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15460 Success
Gu Wuzheng stood atop the arrow tower of the camp, quietly gazing towards the beach, his brows furrowed tightly. The project was progressing smoothly, but Gu Wuzheng felt as if something was missing. What was it? He couldn't figure it out, which troubled him greatly. After a while, he suddenly spoke, "Someone, go and invite a few squad leaders here for a meeting."

One of his subordinates responded and immediately went to fetch the men. Soon, Ji Lei and the other squad leaders all arrived at Gu Wuzheng's side, bowing to him. Gu Wuzheng nodded and then said, "I called you here today not to ask about the progress of your project, but because there is something I want to discuss with you. Although our project is progressing quickly, I've always felt that things are too stable, but I can't figure out what the problem is. Can you tell me what the problem is?" After Gu Wuzheng finished speaking, he looked at the men, and they all frowned upon hearing his words.

If Gu Wuzheng had asked them how to do things specifically, they could have given some advice. But now Gu Wuzheng was asking a question that seemed off. He sensed something was wrong, but couldn't pinpoint what it was. He wanted them to point out what was wrong. How were they supposed to know? It was too vague. So the group looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

Gu Wuzheng frowned as he looked at them. Then he suddenly said, "Fine, if you can't tell me, then forget it. When you get back, observe carefully. If you find anything wrong, just tell me."

At this moment, Qu Guang spoke up: "Captain, I think we can ask someone, Shi Jie. Although Shi Jie is currently the captain of a small team, he is very clever. And Captain, you may not know his other identity. He is Elder Sheng's disciple, not just a nominal disciple, but a true disciple." After Qu Guang finished speaking, he looked at Gu Wuzheng.

Upon hearing Qu Guang's words, Gu Wuzheng was taken aback, and his expression changed. He looked at Qu Guang and said, "Are you sure? Shi Jie is Elder Sheng's disciple? Elder Sheng Si?" The others also looked at Qu Guang in surprise. Clearly, they didn't know this news either. They really didn't expect that there would be such a powerful figure in their team. That was Elder Sheng Si, the sect leader's adopted son! His disciple was actually in their team, and even a squad leader. This was indeed a surprise to them.

Qu Guang nodded and said, "Yes, it can't be wrong. I hadn't thought of it before, but I have a friend who is an elder in a small town. They told me that Elder Sheng recently accepted a new true disciple. I heard that he has a high level of comprehension and is highly regarded. His name is Shi Jie. I didn't connect this Shi Jie with that Shi Jie before, but later I inquired and heard that he is also a magic cultivator, mainly using magic. Moreover, he is the only local from the Seven Realms in our team. In that case, his identity matches up. So he should be Elder Sheng's disciple. If he can become Elder Sheng's disciple, then his talent must be very good. Moreover, he is clever. Maybe if we ask him, we can find out something."

Upon hearing this, Gu Wuzheng thought for a moment and then said, "Alright, invite him here." Someone immediately responded and went to fetch him. A short while later, Shi Jie was brought over. Shi Jie looked at Gu Wuzheng and the others with some confusion, then bowed to them and said, "Greetings, Captain; greetings, squad leaders." They all nodded at him, their expressions somewhat complicated, which made Shi Jie even more puzzled. He looked at Gu Wuzheng and the others with curiosity, wondering what was wrong with them.

Gu Wuzheng looked at Shi Jie and then asked, "Are you Elder Sheng's disciple?" Gu Wuzheng didn't like beating around the bush, so he asked directly. His words surprised Shi Jie, who then nodded and said, "Yes, Captain."

Gu Wuzheng nodded and said, "Although Elder Sheng is your master, you won't receive any special treatment in the team. I called you here today because I have something I want to ask you. I've heard you're very clever. I've been watching everyone work these past few days, and everyone is working very hard, and the project is progressing quickly. But I have a feeling that something is wrong, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Can you take a look and tell me what's wrong?"

Shi Jie was taken aback. He hadn't expected Gu Wuzheng to summon him for this reason. He glanced down, puzzled, and saw a huge construction site teeming with workers. In the woods, people were cutting down trees. Everyone had a clear division of labor, so the project was progressing rapidly. Shi Jie didn't immediately see anything amiss. He was about to speak to Gu Wuzheng when he suddenly saw the distant sea. He thought of their mission, and a sudden inspiration struck him. He immediately turned to Gu Wuzheng and asked, "Captain, is this related to our mission?" As he spoke, his eyes remained fixed on Gu Wuzheng, which startled Gu Wuzheng. He frowned and said, "What do you mean? Explain yourself."

Shi Jie responded and then said, "Captain, it's like this. On the surface, our mission this time is to get us off this island, but the real purpose is to help us all cooperate more effectively and understand each other better. The ultimate goal is for us to develop a team spirit, not just an individual one. To achieve this, we must understand each other, help each other, and trust each other. Only in this way can we truly become a whole and develop a team spirit. However, the current situation is a bit off. We are still divided into small teams as before, and everyone's roles are different. Although we are all working together, it's impossible for 100,000 people to know each other. This is the biggest problem. Captain, do you think we should reshuffle the teams and redistribute our work? This way, we can come into contact with more people. Even if we can't find the names of every single person in the 100,000, we can still become familiar with and trust each other. This will be very beneficial for our future teamwork. What do you think?" Upon hearing Shi Jie's words, Gu Wuzheng was taken aback at first, but then his eyes lit up, and he immediately laughed and said, "Hahaha, yes, you're absolutely right. I was wondering why I felt something was off. It turns out it's because everyone's division of labor is too clear right now. Although this is a good thing, everyone is still not familiar with each other, which will have a great impact on our cooperation in the future. We really should reassign the teams and reassign the tasks. Okay, you've all heard that. Now go and do it."

Ji Lei and the others all responded and then turned to leave. Gu Wuzheng looked at Shi Jie and said, "You did very well. You did not disgrace Elder Sheng. You may leave now." Shi Jie responded, then bowed to Gu Wuzheng and turned to leave.

Soon, the construction site began to be reorganized, and everyone was reassigned. Their teams were all reassigned, which affected the progress of the project to some extent, but Gu Wuzheng was not in a hurry.

A few more days passed, and the teams were reassigned once again. Each team leader explained the reasons for this reassignment, and the team members understood perfectly. It was simply to let everyone get to know and become familiar with each other, so no one objected to this reassignment. On the contrary, they took the initiative to get to know more people and become familiar with more people. After several reassignments, the team of 100,000 people was already very familiar with each other. After all, when you're working, you can't just interact with the few people around you; you also need to get to know others. So everyone became more familiar with each other, which was the result Gu Wuzheng wanted.

In the blink of an eye, about a month had passed. They had cut down almost all the trees on the island. The ordinary trees were made into rafts, while some of the larger trees were made into sails. After all, without sails, the rafts would be difficult to control. Once the rafts were built, everyone worked together to push them into the sea, and then everyone boarded the rafts.

Actually, a large part of the raft was already in the sea before it was even fully built. Because the raft was so big, it would have been impossible to wait until it was all built before putting it in the sea. So they pushed a portion of the raft into the sea first, and the construction continued on the shore. Only after the raft was completely built was it pushed into the sea, and then everyone boarded the raft. A huge raft that could hold 100,000 people was thus floated out to sea.

Many wooden houses were built on the raft, and there were also hundreds of masts with hard sails made of tree roots hanging from them. After everyone was on the raft, the mooring ropes on the shore were untied, and the raft slowly drifted out to sea.

Standing on the raft, everyone was filled with excitement. Finally, after staying on the island for so long, they were finally going out to sea. Although they didn't know when their mission would be completed, they had indeed accomplished it, and everyone was very excited. However, going out to sea didn't mean the end of their mission. They still had tasks to complete. Some were responsible for operating the sails, some for relaying messages, some for logistics, some for catching fish, and some for managing the water, as water was also very important.

And so the raft slowly drifted on the sea. Although the speed was slow, it had truly left the island. Moreover, there was fresh water and food on the raft, so they were very well prepared this time. Even if they didn't get any supplies, they wouldn't have to worry about food even if they drifted at sea for a month. So they had nothing to worry about. In addition, the raft not only had sails but also oars, so they could also paddle forward. It can be said that their escape from the deserted island this time was very successful.
