I build a shelter in the eternal night.

Chapter 45 "Farm".

"Yes!"

Zhou Mo gripped the broadsword in his hand, took a deep breath, jumped off the tricycle, and pressed closer to the wooden house, kicking open the door.

In the time it takes to count a few breaths.

He then returned to the tricycle and hurriedly reported, "Stationmaster, there is indeed a group of pseudo-humanoid cubs that cannot crawl and have extremely eerie eyes."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but shiver.

That scene was indeed a bit frightening.

As soon as he entered, he saw a bunch of pseudo-humanoid cubs staring straight at him, and he seriously doubted that he might relive this scene in his dreams tonight.

"That's right."

Chen Fan looked at the fake men tied up in animal traps outside the camp. The fake men became increasingly frantic when they saw Zhou Mo rush into the wooden house. He probably understood what the rainy season was.

(I.e.
Perhaps it's the season for the monsters to breed.

In this way, it is understandable that the monsters are extremely irritable during the rainy season. Throughout history, no creature has ever been calm and aggressive when breeding. During this period, they are extremely territorial and will prevent any outside creatures from approaching.

This is why monsters tend to avoid monster fire during the dry season, but will rush into it like madmen during the rainy season.

"Go back to camp."

Chen Fan reached out and pulled Zhou Mo onto the cart: "Bring the brothers over here and take all the collaborators back."

"Capture them alive?"

Zhou Mo was slightly taken aback, and turned his head to look at the fake man bound by the animal trap not far away. If it was just about digging up the strange stone, it could be done now, without having to go back to camp to bring people.

"Yes, capture them alive."

Chen Fan nodded slightly.

When he first arrived, he saw a pair of pseudo-humans mating. Normal human reproduction involves a nine-month pregnancy, but the female pseudo-human in that mating pair had her abdomen swell rapidly immediately after mating, indicating that she was on the verge of giving birth.

If this rate of reproduction is utilized, perhaps more strange stones can be obtained.

There was still an incense stick's time before the eternal night descended.

Chen Fan led Zhou Mo and the lame monkey back to the camp. One by one, the pseudo-human monsters were tied together with ropes and dragged to the ground, then brought back to the camp.

At this point, the safe zone of the camp had been expanded to a diameter of fifty meters.

The space is much more spacious now.

He walked to an open area outside the camp's walls, used 200 strange stones to build a square wall, five meters long and five meters wide, like a cage, where he planned to raise "pseudo-human monsters".

Have the lame monkeys dig a large pit along the wall inside this enclosure, so they can stack themselves like arhats for breeding.

This trip brought back a total of [number] items.

27 adult pseudo-human monsters.

37 baby humanoid monsters.

He called this place "the breeding farm". For safety reasons, he built a level 2 arrow tower on the city wall of the breeding farm to ensure that the pseudo-human ghost would not escape. With the strength of the pseudo-human ghost, the level 2 arrow tower was sufficient.

Moreover, even a cunning ghost couldn't climb over this 5-meter-high city wall.

This expense today.

He used up quite a few of the strange stones.

Only 268 strange stones remain.

Although killing a group of fake humans restored some health, even with this batch of strange stones, he only had 301 strange stones left. None of the fake humans he killed dropped any rare treasures.

“Ah Le”.

Chen Fan looked at A-Le standing behind Qi Chong: "From now on, in addition to working with Qi Chong to manage the farmland, this breeding farm will be handed over to you. You need to do your best to get these pseudo-humans to reproduce so that we can obtain more strange stones."

"Yes!"

Ah Le roared in agreement, glancing at the fake human being being herded into the farm by the lame monkey and others with sticks. His eyes were full of excitement for this new challenge. Not to mention that he had raised pigs for so many years, he had never raised a ghost before.

Both are forms of aquaculture.

Different people raise different things.

After doing all this, Chen Fan walked back to the city wall in the camp, looked at the gradually darkening sky, and patiently waited for the eternal night to fall.

The tricycle with the inscription "Level 4 Arrow Fortress" was also parked outside the city.

As one of the city's defense measures tonight.

The idea of ​​combining arrow towers with vehicles to create mobile arrow towers is not difficult. At least in his predecessor's memories, the Chen family had researched it for a period of time, but eventually gave up because they could not apply it on a large scale.

there are many reasons.

For example, the cost. He only needs 180 Ghost Stones to build a level 4 Arrow Fortress, but other architects basically need to consume more than 1000 Ghost Stones, plus the need to build a Ghostfire.

The ghost fire needs to be embedded in the vehicle.

When not in use.

He also needs to invest in Strange Stones to maintain the consumption of Strange Fire, since the cost of building Strange Fire for others is much higher than his, and it is difficult for them to use Strange Fire as a one-time building like he does.

In addition, the horse-drawn carriages, which are powered by horses, tend to run away frantically when they encounter strange creatures, leading to loss of control and high energy consumption, making it difficult to recoup costs.

This method is not suitable for large-scale application.

but--

These shortcomings, however, were practically nonexistent for him.

Given enough time, he could even deploy a large number of chariots, creating a scale effect.

at this time!

Darkness surged in from the horizon, and eternal night descended.

it's dark.

Chen Fan and his companions kept watch on the city wall outside the city.

Zhou Mo had already crawled into the quilt in the wooden cabin to prepare for sleep. Looking at the makeshift bed next to him that had been occupied by someone last night, but was now empty, he remained silent for a long time before picking up his pen to write in his diary for the day.

"Today is the fifth night since the rainy season began."

"There are still more than half a month left before the rainy season ends."

"My dog ​​Er Gou, who had always followed me, died in the mouth of the fake man at dusk."

"Can the camp really survive the rainy season?"

"Heaven knows."

After doing all this.

He had just hidden the diary under his pillow when he stared blankly at the ceiling of the wooden house, lost in thought.

Jiangbei City.

It's extremely noisy tonight.

"Hurry up!!!"

"Why hasn't the Chen family's retainer arrived yet? My walls here are about to collapse and urgently need repair!!!"

"What about people!"

Countless shouts and curses echoed across the city walls of Jiangbei.

Perhaps it was anger, or perhaps it was to suppress the fear in their hearts.

Even in the eternal night, the entire Jiangbei City, this natural fiery zone, is never short of light, with a giant golden eggshell enveloping the entire city.

The city walls, which stretch like a long dragon and encircle the entire city, are now facing a tremendous test.

The arrow towers mounted on the city walls continuously fired crossbow bolts at the elusive creatures in the darkness.

"."

The leader of the Wild Wolf Gang stood on the city wall, leading his brothers up to the top. Looking out at the fearless monsters crashing against the wall in the darkness outside the city, he took a deep breath, his face turning pale, and pulled out a token from his pocket, smashing it against the wall.

Suddenly——

The city wall surrounding Jiangbei City glowed with a black light. A thick steel plate, inlaid with strange array patterns, seemed to grow out of the city wall as if it were alive, enveloping the entire city wall.

The downward trend was immediately reduced.

The city walls, which were already on the verge of collapse due to the massive self-destruction of the flesh-eating monsters, held up again at this moment.

Then, his face turned slightly pale as he roared.

Hold on!

"The wind direction can't stay the same overnight. As long as the wind direction changes, these flesh-worm monsters will retreat!"

"Hang in there, brothers!"

The flesh-eating worm tide is arguably the most terrifying presence in the wilderness during the rainy season.

Wherever he went, not a blade of grass grew.

And tonight.

The monstrous tide of fleshworms has arrived in Jiangbei City, attempting to turn the world green.
