Don't Starve, my pickaxe can be upgraded

Chapter 100 Packing up the entire camp

"I'll go ask now." Chang Xin said.

"Let's go together."

Liu Hen said to Hong Ming, "First, grow the body of this person in front of you. We can talk about the other transformed people later. Then you can take a rest. We will leave here when Qian Ye arrives."

"it is good."

Hong Ming breathed a sigh of relief, because including the cyborgs who rushed back, there were still more than sixty cyborgs who needed his "treatment".

If one wants a cyborg to completely grow back its missing limbs, even if he tries his best, it will take nearly half a day, which will be very time-consuming.

Liu Hen and Chang Xin entered the camp and came to the place where Tong Kun was imprisoned.

A crude house he had built was already stinking. Tong Kun had been eating, drinking, defecating and urinating here for the past few days.

Although Liu Hen said that he would treat Tong Kun well, his concept of good treatment was different from that of Chang Xin and others.

Chang Xin and others' good treatment meant not letting the prisoners starve to death and not beating them, that's all.

Considering the fragility of the people in the camp, Chang Xin kindly gave him a meal every two days, which was a pound of carbohydrate porridge.

With this kind of treatment, normal wasteland dwellers would be able to live happily, but Tong Kun felt like he was going to starve to death at any moment.

Seeing Liu Hen approaching, he struggled to get up and pleaded weakly: "Master, please give me something to eat..."

"...You've lost a lot of weight. Compared to the deserted people, you really are spoiled."

Liu Hen said some nonsense, then got straight to the point and asked, "What did you bring back from the Hongluo Camp?"

Tong Kun was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then he replied, "Fish."

"Meat?!" Chang Xin's breathing subconsciously became heavier, with a look of regret on her face, feeling like she had missed out on hundreds of millions.

"Fish? Fish from the sea?" Liu Hen raised his eyebrows.

"Yes." Tong Kun nodded.

"The Hongluo Camp is really good at hiding. It's such a small camp on the surface, but secretly there might be a huge underground city!"

Liu Hen asked curiously, "We didn't smell any fishy smell at the time. Were they frozen? Or did you use some method to cover up the smell?"

"It's frozen, but we also used special methods to mask the smell."

Tong Kun answered truthfully: "Walking in the dark, this should be necessary, right?"

“It’s necessary if there are conditions.”

Liu Hen asked, "So the Hongluo Camp never asked you for help before, and the so-called ore trade was just a cover?"

"It's not all a cover-up. Lord Bronze Dragon needs to eat flint to cultivate his fire-breathing ability. The truth is, we took the initiative to trade with the Red Snail Camp, not them begging us."

Tong Kun said weakly, "This kind of transaction takes place every ten years."

"Only once every ten years?"

Liu Hen laughed and said, "Then your Master Tonglong's cultivation speed is really slow. It takes ten years to consume ten tons of flint."

"That's not true. Lord Bronze Dragon can consume ten tons of flint in half a year, but he doesn't want to part with the copper ore, so he only does it once every ten years."

Tong Kun defended himself, "Lord Tonglong is a spirit born from the copper veins. He feeds on copper and values ​​it more than his life. Our transactions with the barren dwellers are usually conducted in secret, and we only dare to trade within a hundred kilograms each time."

"I'm afraid you guessed wrong this time. If nothing unexpected happens, your Lord Bronze Dragon should have already escaped."

Liu Hen showed Tong Kun the note he got from the Hongluo Camp: "Maybe the Tonglong Camp is gone too."

What surprised him but not particularly surprised him was that after Tong Kun saw the contents of the note, although he found it a little hard to accept, he did not refute it.

"Although Lord Bronze Dragon always scolds the big conch, we can all see that it is very afraid of the big conch behind the Red Snail Camp. This must be the request of the big conch behind the Red Snail Camp."

Realizing that he might have been abandoned, Tong Kun asked in despair, "I'm useless now. Will the adults kill me?"

Originally, his hope of survival was to become a guide and lead these outsiders to attack the Bronze Dragon Camp.

However, the Bronze Dragon Camp may no longer be in its original location, so there is no point for him to continue living and he may very well be executed.

"Why should I kill you?"

Liu Hen said: "We are very eager for talents. It depends on whether you are willing to be that talent."

The people in the camp are all talented.

"Of course I do." A glimmer of hope flashed in Tong Kun's eyes.

"Then congratulations, you will be a teacher at Campfire Camp from now on."

Liu Hen smiled and said, "Your mission is to teach people how to read, including me. I will also learn how to read from you."

Tong Kun perked up and asked in surprise, "Teacher?"

"You won't try to be sneaky, will you?" Liu Hen asked with a smile.

"Absolutely not!"

Tong Kun quickly promised: "I will definitely teach everything I know to the people at Campfire Camp, as long as there are people willing to learn!"

Liu Hen nodded in satisfaction and gave a warning: "It was your Lord Bronze Dragon who started it first. If you want to hate him, then hate him. For the sake of your own life, it's best not to do anything tricky."

"Absolutely not, sir, please rest assured. I just want to live!" Tong Kun assured him. "Then it depends on your performance. But let's not rush the literacy thing. We're planning to move, so come out and help."

Liu Hen looked at Chang Xin and said, "He will be one of our own from now on. Let someone protect him. You will also learn to read from him."

"Is it necessary?" Chang Xin wondered.

"It's absolutely necessary, unless you just want to do some minor things."

Liu Hen said, "Go and prepare. I'll prepare too."

He turned and walked towards the inner camp.

"grown ups……"

"Sir, you are finally back!"

When the Wu brothers and sisters saw Liu Hen, they hurriedly came forward happily.

Liu Hen nodded, returned to his home building, took out a bowl of carbohydrate porridge to fill his stomach, and then looked at the creation workbench.

"The upgrade isn't over yet..."

He frowned slightly and put the workbench into the space backpack. Sure enough, he found that the upgrade was interrupted after entering the space backpack.

So he took it out again and upgraded the countdown before continuing to count.

'It can't be used during the upgrade process... The materials can't be made into finished products, and there's no way to free up more space, so you can't take everything away!'

Perhaps the migration time will be delayed.

It was just right that he and his companions could run, but they couldn't run too obviously, because he still couldn't figure out what was so special about him that the demons behind the Hongluo Camp were afraid of him.

If the other party finds out that I am just a second-level functional mutant, I am afraid that I will be angry and hunt me down.

He didn't think that a bonfire with a constant temperature could do anything to a demon of that level.

Even the bronze dragon demon caused him a lot of trouble, let alone the big conch that could command the bronze dragon at will.

"The little black stone is now parasitic on me. If there are bloodlines among demons, the little black stone's bloodline level should be very high. The big conch must have misunderstood something."

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the conch must have misunderstood something.

Not to mention that Little Black Stone is still sleeping now, even if Little Black Stone wakes up, it will be powerless if it really faces that terrifying demon.

Because the ability of the little black stone is not combat-oriented, and the little black stone that has been integrated with the stone of wishes should need to grow and it is impossible to achieve success overnight.

Thinking of this, he immediately said to Wu Yuanming outside: "Tell Chang Xin to postpone the migration time by one day."

"Yes, sir." Wu Yuanming replied respectfully.

……

Because special items like campfires, workbenches, and even lockers each occupy one space grid, which takes up too much space.

So, Liu Hen reluctantly destroyed all four bonfires in his space backpack.

Then, he put a large number of large logs into the fuel tank of the bonfire in the home building, leaving only two hundred large logs in one grid.

After the space grid was freed up, he took out the big wood and collected it into small wood, preparing to use it to consume small pieces of flint, make it into black powder, and then purify it into smokeless gunpowder.

'Even so, it might be necessary to make a bronze-grade locker.'

Because the flint outside can almost only be collected in small quantities, it takes up a lot of space.

Even if we don't remove the buildings in our home, the existing large iron ore mine will still take up ten grids.

'The large copper mine occupies one space grid.'

"The remaining five bonfires must occupy five grids. The thermal suit, the wooden heart, and the workbench... only take the bronze-level workbench. Destroy all others."

"All in all, it must have taken up 25 to 30 grids. Counting the uneaten carbohydrate porridge and ice cubes, it took up more than 70, close to 80 grids."

Liu Hen secretly calculated: "If all of that 150 tons of flint can only be collected into small pieces, even if the impurities are removed, one ton can only produce 600 pieces of flint. That means three grids, 10 tons of 30, and 150 tons... I'm afraid it will take up more than 400 grids in total..."

He had a headache: "One bronze locker is far from enough, then make a few more, I don't believe it!"

Because there will definitely be dangers on the road, only by traveling light can you reduce or even avoid casualties.

If you want to travel light, you must pack the entire camp into the space backpack and take it with you.

A bronze-level locker has sixty compartments, so you need at least six to seven bronze-level lockers in total to fit everything in.

Although the locker itself can also be used to store other lockers, the locker containing things cannot be placed inside other lockers, and cannot be nested, so it can only be put into the space backpack.

"When the time comes, I might as well build ten bronze-level lockers at once."

"This way, if I put everything in the lockers, ten lockers will only take up ten backpack slots, leaving me with plenty of space. It's also convenient to collect goodies when I come across them on the road."

Ten bronze-level lockers can create an extra 600 space grids, which is definitely enough to pack up and take away the entire camp.

Liu Hen made a decision and then began to collect materials to make ten bronze-level storage cabinets.
