Wasteland scavenging, fat girl takes the sick and disabled family away

Chapter 346 Expanding the Region
Shi Yuebai had no intention of changing positions in the first place.

Whether it's their stronghold or a mercenary camp.

She put her heart and soul into it all.

Since Shi Yuebai has given so much to this land, he won't move away easily.

That's how the Wu tribe is.

Because from the time they became conscious, they lived in a barren desert.

It was a place rife with notorious dangers, teeming with unseen forces lying in ambush.

Once a place is identified by the witch tribe as their lair.

They will develop a very strong sense of belonging and will devote all their efforts to building a nest for themselves.

The safer their nest, the greater their chances of survival in the desolate world of the Witch Clan.

Shi Yuebai shared the same thoughts.

She built her nest here and drew so many complex formations.

When Shi Yuebai first drew the array, he couldn't even put his fingers together.

She used her exceptional finesse, surpassing even that of a child, and concentrated her utmost attention to draw the array.

They would never move away from this place so easily, lest all her hard work be destroyed.

Shi Yuebai has developed a sense of belonging to this land.

Therefore, she considered her stronghold and mercenary camp as her territory.

When she turned around, Yuebai returned to her lair and found her elder brother, Shiyi.

She also mentioned that she had planted trees in the mercenary camp.

Shi Yi pondered for a moment, "You mean to say that you have already occupied the land used by the mercenary camp?"

Before Shi Yuebai could speak, Shi's mother stepped forward and slapped Shi Yi on the head.

How can you talk like that?

“That piece of land originally belonged to your sister. Your sister left her supernatural abilities on it.”

"If this land can't go to your sister, and someone else takes it later, wouldn't your sister have been working for someone else's benefit for nothing?"

Shi's mother felt that it was only natural for the land to belong to her daughter.

Shi Yi smiled and touched his head, then rubbed his knees.

After such a long time, Shi Yi's broken leg has grown back.

This is something he probably never imagined before he climbed all the way back.

It's not certain when he'll realize it; by the time he does, he'll no longer need the prosthesis made for him.

“I was worried that my sister was working too hard. Look how thin she has become.”

Shi Yi looked at Shi Yuebai, her eyes filled with heartache.

"Yuebai, you have done well enough, much better than what your elder brother expected of you."

"The reason why our stronghold and mercenary camp have developed into what they are today is all because of you."

"I just hope you don't take too big a step. Everything depends on your ability. You need to be steady and pragmatic."

Upon hearing Shi Yi's words, Shi's mother looked at her daughter with a worried expression.

Everyone knows that Shi Yuebai's weight is gradually decreasing.

People who see her every day might not have this feeling.

However, anyone who goes ten or twenty days without seeing Shi Yuebai will notice very obvious changes in him.

She kept getting thinner, constantly shrinking her size.

Is there really no danger to Yuebai's body if things continue like this? Shi's mother opened her mouth and reached out to hold her daughter's hand.

Although her daughter's hands were still chubby to her, like a big pig's trotter.

But Shi's mother is very worried about her daughter's current thinness.

Shi Yuebai patted his mother's hand and held the back of her hand.

"I feel perfectly fine now, there's nothing to worry about."

"Let's talk about the mercenary camp first. Now that I want that land, we should think about how to build some offensive and defensive structures on it."

After a moment of contemplation, Shi Yi said to Shi Yuebai,

"The mercenaries are currently living in the camp, which is the best offensive and defensive structure for them."

"With these two hundred mercenaries around, no fool will dare to invade this land."

"Unless they're tired of living."

"But our purpose is not limited to this; this land is a window to the outside world for us."

"In other words, we need to both allow the mercenaries to live on this land and make better use of it."

"How about this, let's fence off another area outside this camp. We can use this area to do business and exchange supplies with the survivors outside."

This idea didn't just come to me on a whim.

Instead, he noticed that his younger sister had been going to the front lines a lot lately.

And then there's that little mute boy, and his sister, constantly struggling on the front lines.

They even conscripted Shi Yaoyao and her group of children.

The two sold expired food, osmanthus flowers, ginseng, and other supplies from their hideout, and their business flourished.

This even motivated the remaining laborers in the lair to work hard planting osmanthus and Panax notoginseng in order to earn extra money.

The business was booming thanks to Yuebai and the little mute.

However, every time they exchanged supplies with the survivors outside, it was at the gate of the mercenary camp.

It appears very unprofessional.

Shi Yuebai nodded, "Then let's set aside another piece of land next to the mercenary camp."

"But the piece of land we drew cannot go uphill; it must go downhill."

Shi Yuebai plans to set up this trading area at the location closest to the snowmelt water level in the mercenary camp.

She plans to operate within this area and will also arrange for Wen Yanhui and other laborers to live there.

Those laborers would do their utmost to ensure that the area was not flooded by snowmelt.

This also helped the mercenaries in a way.

After meeting with the think tank in their hideout, Shi Yi, Xu Xuejiao, and others flew to the mercenary camp for a field investigation.

Yi Zhe had no objections to Shi Yuebai's plans, and even held a meeting with Chen Yong and the other mercenaries.

The mercenaries planned to adjust their defenses to include the trading area that Yuebai wanted within their patrol range.

For now, this is all the mercenary group can do.

The specifics of how Yuebai plans to develop this trading area depend on Yuebai's intentions.

Shi Yi first announced to the public that the mercenary group planned to recruit a group of survivors to live near the mercenary group.

The latest news came from the group of survivors crouching outside the mercenary group.

These people don't even need to carefully consider the veracity of the information.

The moment they received the message, they followed the source of the information and arrived at the westernmost part of the mercenary camp.

That is, the location of the mercenary group, the one closest to the snowmelt water level.
