I build a shelter in the eternal night.

Chapter 64 How can I allow others to snore beside my bed?

"."

Chen Fan stood in the deep pit, looking at the bustling construction scene ahead.

The city walls on both sides are hidden in the ground to ensure that the broken stones and soil can flow out. Zhou Mo and others are busy dealing with the flowing stones and soil, but the amount of work is really too large.

The group was clearly overwhelmed.

We lacked suitable tools and manpower.

For now.

It will take at least three days for his envisioned rear area to take shape.

that's it.

After a whole day of work, there was still half an hour before dark.

The turret stopped bombing.

"call"

Chen Fan let out a soft breath and stood on the city wall at the cave entrance, looking into the cave. After a day of relentless bombardment, the cave was already ten meters high and thirteen meters deep, its height exceeding that of the city wall.

Small on the outside, large on the inside.

Every now and then, soil collapses from the top of the cave.

The ground was also a mess.

"Station Master."

Zhou Mo sat on the ground, panting, and said in a hoarse voice, "The outside is almost done, the rest will have to be cleaned up tomorrow."

They didn't have the manpower and means to transport the soil and rubble away, so they simply let it slide freely along the gaps in the city wall to the original village location, and flattening it as much as possible was all they could do.

The inside of the cave wasn't even paved.

The rear area plan is wonderful.

But with just these few people, it was really difficult to carry out the plan.

Behind them, Wang Mazi, Qi Chong, and the others were also panting heavily, unable to catch their breath; they had indeed been exhausted these past few days.

"No rush, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

"Everyone has worked hard."

Chen Fan created a strange fire and placed it in the deepest part of the cave. He then put the "Qingfeng Array" array plate and the "Mountain Skeleton Embryo" into the strange fire and connected the copper pipes that had been laid in the canyon to the strange fire.

next moment--

The Gentle Breeze Formation was activated first.

A faint breeze, barely perceptible to the naked eye, swept across the campsite. One could feel a slight chill in one's ankles, and walking felt as if being pushed along by a ghost from behind, making one's pace considerably faster.

Standing on the city wall, he could feel the breeze brushing against his ankles.

Chen Fan tried walking a few steps on the city wall, and his speed was indeed much faster than usual. It felt quite strange, a bit like the feeling of a flat elevator in an airport, where one step counts as two.

It also has a dust-removing effect.

Each day of operation requires 1 Mysterious Stone; the larger the camp area, the more stones are consumed.

at this time!

"Kaka."

One after another, pale, eerie, and thick bones extended from the eerie fire he had placed and burrowed into the ground, rapidly moving and traversing the mountains surrounding the cave. The cave ceiling, which had been collapsing intermittently just moments before, instantly became extremely solid, and not a single pebble fell.

There is no longer any risk of the building collapsing.

After placing these two extraordinary treasures in the eerie fire, the rear camp finally began to take shape.

As for structures like farmland altars, he has not yet made any arrangements for them.

At least the cave should be leveled before building anything, especially since the current cave is too small and doesn't meet his expectations for the rear area. It will take a few more days of construction.

He tried again to build the "Vehicle Workshop," a new yellow-grade building he had acquired.

The architectural silhouette, which should have been composed of white lines, was now entirely composed of red lines.

This building occupies too large a area.

It's equivalent to about one and a half times the current cave area. The cave can't fit this building at all unless it's placed in a village outside the cave, where there's enough space. But that doesn't fit his rear-area concept. If they encounter the enemy, the first thing to be destroyed is this vehicle workshop.

but.

Although the rear area is only in its initial stages, the key defensive structures have been largely completed.

"Get a good night's sleep, everyone."

Chen Fan glanced at the lame monkey and the others and chuckled, "I took a nap this afternoon, so I'll be on watch tonight."

None of them declined.

After descending the city wall and entering the makeshift wooden hut inside the cave, I almost immediately fell asleep.

These past few days have been truly exhausting. So exhausting that I can barely stand up. When you're tired, you don't have time to think about anything else; all you want to do is sleep.

soon.

The faint sound of snoring could be heard coming from inside the wooden house.

Chen Fan walked out of the cave alone and looked around.

This deep pit, located at the foot of a cliff, is very large.

It is a perfect square.

It is approximately several hundred meters wide.

The natural fire zone can only cover the entire village, occupying only a small part of the entire pit. It cannot completely cover the pit and is located exactly in the center of the pit.

The others were all asleep.

After glancing around, he continued laying copper pipes. He hadn't used up his free quota for the day, so he started from the cave and laid copper pipes outwards. This time, he wasn't building a road.

Instead, they are expanding the camp area.

Last night, a big guy was watching him intently all night.

They'll most likely come again tonight.

Tonight, the moment he hears any noise, he will quickly activate the copper pipes, instantly expanding the camp's area and bringing the enemy into the attack range of his turret, thus eliminating this threat.

How can you allow others to snore and sleep on the side of the couch?

but
It is worth noting that the copper pipe can be up to one meter wide. When starting up, it can include half a meter of the surrounding area in the camp area, which means the camp area can be up to 2 meters wide, which is fine for paving roads.

However, to cover the entire pit and bring it under the camp's jurisdiction, the number of copper pipes required would be astronomical.

Preliminary calculations suggest that approximately 20 meters of copper tubing would be needed.

His daily free quota is only 10,000 meters, and today he only has less than 3000 meters left.

then--

Like a tree spreading its branches, he extended the copper pipes from the cave entrance to the bottom of the pit.

This method cannot completely encompass the deep pit within the camp's perimeter, but it can illuminate certain areas at night. As long as the enemy appears within these extended camp areas, the turrets can be activated.

Five watchtowers were built and placed evenly at the bottom of the pit, connected to copper pipes.

Once activated, the watchtower provides a 50-meter field of vision outside the camp. Although it can only provide vision and the turret cannot attack, as long as there is vision, he can activate the ghostly green lantern in his hand.

He had to deal with this unknown guy first before the rear could be safe.

After finishing the work.

Night fell as expected.

Holding a ghostly green lantern, Chen Fan sat quietly on the city wall at the entrance of the cave. The city wall was embedded in the mountain, so it was protected from the rain. He looked up at the mountain above and waited patiently.

I do not know how long it has been.

"bang bang bang"

The familiar sound came again—the sound of the strange creature falling from the cliff into the deep pit.

"coming soon."

He quickly perked up; that's how it was last night.

Sure enough, after several sounds of strange objects falling off the cliff, there was a period of quiet, about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Then, he clearly heard a rustling sound in the rain again, the sound of a giant object moving in the rain.

one two three
Chen Fan patiently counted down the seconds in his mind, and then suddenly started the copper pipe after the countdown ended.

The cold, white flames quickly flowed from the eerie fire inside the cave into the copper pipes, illuminating all the watchtowers along the way.

next moment!
The deep pit, which was originally shrouded in eternal night, was instantly illuminated.

Branches radiating golden light were laid out in the deep pit, and the lit watchtowers instantly dispelled the eternal night at the bottom of the pit, turning it into gray mist.

He saw it.

He saw a gigantic, crocodile-like monster in the gray fog, carefully picking up a strange creature's corpse from the bottom of the cliff at the edge of the pit, preparing to leave. But the sudden illumination of the pit clearly startled the creature.

The crocodile quickly dropped the carcass that was already in its mouth and rushed into the canyon passage in a panic.

They disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.

The enormous sound of running echoed continuously on both sides of the canyon passage.

"."

Chen Fan stood expressionless on the city wall, remaining silent. Only now did he realize what kind of person had been observing him last night, and that the other party had been extremely cautious both last night and tonight. The sounds he could hear were the sounds the other party made after minimizing their movements as much as possible.

When the other party actually starts running.

The sound was deafening, echoing throughout the canyon, and the lingering echoes lasted for a long time.
