Chapter 106 Taoyuan
The supplies of the three cars are given for free, but as for the driver, Yang Fan has to find a way himself.
This problem is easy to solve. He counts one by himself, one fat man, and Mu Bai, driving one by one by one. As long as he avoids the large swarm of insects, with the combat power of him and Mu Bai, a small swarm of insects is not worth worrying about. It should be no big problem to return to the castle safely.
When Yang Fan went to find Mu Bai, the latter had already prepared it and only brought a not-so-large backpack, and the luggage was very simple.
He led Mu Bai to the hotel and let the few people get to know each other. After a simple meal, the four of them drove out of the city in several modified trucks.
After receiving the news of Yang Fan's departure, the forces in the provincial capital responded differently. They were secretly grateful, and some sighed with regret, and many others said it in a variety of ways.
Life seems to return to the track of the past. Lin Keer, who returned from the underground cave to the city, was warmly welcomed by countless young men. She was unpredictable and was able to deal with it. Looking at the direction where Yang Fan was sailing, the corners of her mouth gradually bent a warm curve.
The affairs in the provincial capital have no major concerns with Yang Fan and others for the time being. At the current speed, you should be able to return to the castle before dark. If you are lucky, you might even be able to catch up with a supper.
There is no big problem with safety. Large trucks with tonnage like this are no less powerful than tanks when running. Even ordinary insects may not be able to withstand a collision. In addition, Yang Fan can detect the movements of the insects earlier and warn them in advance to avoid the large worm flow, so he seems to be safe along the way.
After this batch of insects climbing onto the surface, their range of activities and life patterns gradually became fixed, and a new food chain gradually formed.
For insects, humans are food or pastries, but not the main source of food. They themselves form a biological cycle. Omnivorous insects with strong fertility and short growth cycles are at the bottom of the biological chain, just like the rules in the ocean world. Big fish eat small fish and small fish eat shrimps, all of them are like this.
Except for the fact that it becomes violent due to unknown reasons every once in a while, which triggers a new worm tide period, in normal days, there are few large-scale insect swarms attacking human camps.
Perhaps in a short while, small-scale communication will occur between the surviving cities, and Yang Fan thought in a daze.
Just four or five hours passed quickly.
With a beautiful woman around her, Yang Fan didn't seem bored. Seeing that she was about to arrive at the castle, Xiaowen was a little anxious and nervous.
Yang Fan gently held Xiaowen's slender hand and smiled slightly. The silent soothing made the latter's somewhat anxious mood stretch a lot.
"It's coming soon."
It is said that it is coming soon, but in fact, there is still a long way to go before the castle. I just entered the plains in Luxi County and could see a black spot from afar, which is where the castle is.
Yang Fan felt quite pleased and proud of the sight of entering the road. He had only been gone for four or five days. In such a short time, it would be impossible to make a drastic change.
But from the edge of the plain, he could see some preliminary cleansing traces, and it is very hoped that a batch of cold-resistant grain seeds would be replanted before winter began.
This is already the edge of the plain, let alone near the castle.
What we saw along the way was indeed as Yang Fan thought. It was getting late, and the dim sky could even see scattered starlight, but there were still figures busy in the fields beside the road.
In the fields allocated to individuals by these castles, the castle is responsible for providing seeds, fertilizers and tools. When the crops mature in the future, they will be divided into 50% of the castle. As for the life needs during this period, they will be provided by the castle, but it is not free, and will be deducted from the food it has obtained in the future.
At first glance, the behavior of the castle seems to be comparable to that of the landlords and old treasures who have long disappeared into the long river of history. Didn’t it cause everyone’s dissatisfaction? But in fact, people inside and outside the castle really have no objection to this, including food, drink, and the safe environment provided by the castle. What else do you want in this world where insects are the dominant ones?
It would be nice to survive.
The castle is not a good hall. From the bloody lesson that day, everyone deeply realized this fact. When they think of the man's bright and innocent smile, those who have experienced that scene will not shiver. Even if someone has unwilling thoughts in his heart, they will completely extinguish it before taking action.
If he doesn't do this himself, others will help him kill him, if someone discovers it.
If it is just a mere force oppression, it will definitely not be a long-term solution. The castle has also made some humanized management measures, such as free medical care, further promotion of contribution, etc.
Especially the latter point, it fully mobilized everyone's enthusiasm.
In a castle, contribution is not just an honor, but directly linked to material things. If the contribution is high, you can enjoy treatment far exceeding the average person in the castle, such as applying for a stay in the castle, paying less food when the crops mature in the future, and the selection qualification of the demon hunter, etc.
For example, those on the roadside who are still working in the evening, in addition to hoping that their crops will grow more gratifyingly, they also attach great importance to the little contribution points brought by extra labor.
Contribution is something that everyone talks about in the castle. When they meet an acquaintance, they ask about contributions. When they report that someone who has made great contributions, they are complacent and proud on their faces, and the few people can't help but look at the other person with a taste of food.
It is not difficult to earn contributions in a castle. Many things will be ordered to be given below in the form of giving contributions and handed over to everyone to perform. From cleaning the castle's hygiene and inspecting the growth of crops, there are also dangers, such as exploring an unknown forest and collecting the materials needed by a castle, especially if someone can bring back "k" ore, the reward will be very rich.
If a small "k" ore vein is discovered, its harvest will make countless people jealous, even if no one has done this so far.
