Prehistoric Calendar

Chapter 606, Outposts and mobile cabins

The outpost was indeed not far from the refugee camp as Ai said. After two consecutive days of rushing on the road, the crowd arrived at the outpost near noon on the third morning.

When Hao saw the intact tower-shaped outpost, he was really relieved.

By this morning, the food carried by the team had been eaten up, and most of the clansmen only ate four or five percent of their fullness, and the full amount of food was only supplied to the elves, and Hao even only ate a little bit, now He was very hungry already.

If there is a problem with this outpost, food for everyone will be a huge problem. Every extra day, or even an extra hour of delay in this war zone, the consequences may be devastating, but without food, there will be no Maybe march about twelve hours a day on an empty stomach?This is not marching, this is courting death, it is better to hide in this war zone and try your luck.

So in Hao's mind, this outpost is the most important thing in this evasion trip, and there is nothing else that can surpass the role of this outpost. Fortunately, this outpost is safe and sound, and it seems to be unscathed. Let Hao secretly rejoice.

The entire outpost is actually quite large, not very high, only about ten meters high, and three floors, but it occupies a large area. Everyone has entered the outpost, and it doesn't seem too crowded inside. At the same time, there are multiple separate rooms , Of course, all these must be left to the elves, especially the two elves Ai Yi and Yi Xueer, both of them are of the legal system, a second-level magician, this is the most important thing, although the other is a magician Magic apprentices, but they are also extraordinary in the legal system, so they should not be taken lightly. Hao's position on them is very clear in his heart. They are the biggest trump card and background of this team. A team with magician support, and a team without magician support The team is basically two different things.

After everyone entered the outpost, Hao immediately ordered everyone to rest. Except for more than 50 people who were selected and divided into three shifts to patrol the tower wall, the rest were exhausted and entered the dormancy. A few non-commissioned officers including Daimu began to check the various material stocks of this outpost.

"There is more food than expected. This kind of food is enough for our team to eat for about 20 days. If we save a little, we can eat it for [-] days, but it is unnecessary. After [-] days, we have basically left the battlefield and affected the circle. , when that time comes, with the prosperity of the creatures and plants in the Great Desolate Continent, there is no need to hurry, and there will be enough food anyway.”

Hao looked at the food inventory of the outpost with satisfaction, because for the sake of preservation, the food in the outpost was in the form of dry food, as well as dried vegetables, dried meat, and various seasonings. The empire is extremely rich in materials. There are many types of food here, and the quantity is also sufficient.

Then there are weapons. There are about [-] elf army standard weapons, and fifty elf standard crossbows. The range is more than [-] meters, and the power is also very powerful. The small enchantment belongs to the trick-type enchantment, which is to make the force used when loading the crossbows smaller and the speed faster, so these fifty crossbows are actually semi-enchanted creations, and the value is very high, especially for their current team. Fifty crossbows are even strategic weapons.

Whether there is long-range countermeasures or not is actually a qualitative change in many cases. If there is, you can at least confront certain enemies and then retreat completely. If not, you may be killed bit by bit. In the end the group died.

So these fifty elf crossbows, Hao did not intend to let the clansmen use them immediately, he planned to select them first, and then let them train and mature, so that they could be used at critical moments. In terms of crossbows, there are only five crossbows The ten arrows, fortunately, these fifty arrows are made of some kind of alloy that is tougher than fine steel, so they can be used repeatedly, so this is not a big problem.

The things left in this outpost, there are a few tools, a few shovels, a few pliers, etc., which are used by the patrolmen when they need to repair something occasionally, which can be regarded as a surprise. Finally, it is medicine. There are various medicines in this outpost that can be used by about 50 people at a time. They are basically powders or granules. There are no magic potions, but these medicines are enough to surprise Hao.

After Hao checked all the supplies, he returned to the hall on the first floor, where the tribesmen were sleeping all over the floor, and every tribesman was snoring constantly. They were indeed too tired. After arriving at the outpost, they heard After receiving Hao's order to rest, these clansmen really couldn't control anything else, so they just lay down on the ground and fell asleep.

In fact, not only them, the elves are also extremely tired, even if it is still noon, but even the elves have chosen a room to rest, when Hao came to this hall, he heard their snoring , For a while, the eyelids became heavy and a little drowsy.

However, his willpower was strong after all. Only ten seconds later, he came back to his senses, and then forcibly controlled his desire to sleep, walked out of this hall, and came outside the outpost.

There is a wall of more than four meters high around the entire outpost, and there are stairs to go up the wall, and you can patrol on it to check the surrounding area. The thickness of the wall is also very good. It is made of a solid rock. Hao read it from the books of the elves. These outposts are all made by magicians using mud into stone magic. The entire city wall is a whole, with high toughness. With this wall, basically even the first-order monsters are not afraid, even if they encounter second-order monsters , It is extremely difficult to break this wall.

Hao came to the fence and looked into the distance. This outpost was built on a grassland, and the surroundings were clear at a glance. In the distance, there was a high mountain on the horizon in the northwest, and a forest in the southeast. There are dark clouds hanging over the zenith, but they are not actually dark clouds, but clouds of resentment from the soul melting pot of the underworld camp.

Hao has read similar information in the book. The underworld camps are all lower planes such as the underworld and the underworld. There are only very few life forms there, and other existences are undead, but this does not mean The underworld camp is all the existence of brainless zombies, and they have also developed civilizations that conform to the lower planes of the underworld. Although this civilization seems unimaginable to other beings, full of horror and distortion of death, it is true. It is a civilization that belongs exclusively to the Hades camp.

The soul melting furnace is one of the creations of the civilization of the dark camp. It is the total energy source of the dark camp. It is the best source of food and energy for undead life.

But this is not to say that the Soul Furnace is [-]% collection and use of negative emotions, just like humans eat food, or extraordinary professionals absorb the spiritual energy of the world. In fact, the absorption rate is very low, and most of them will be excreted. The same is true for the Soul Furnace. The negative energy and resentment that come out will have great pollution and radiation. No matter how beautiful the mountains and rivers are, once it is eroded by this pollution and radiation for a long time, it will become a paradise for undead creatures. All over the ground, the ground will grow pustules, the trees will wither and die, and even become dead monster trees. The life in it will continue to twist and mutate, turning into monsters that are neither alive nor dead.

This is actually the real world, the reason why all the prehistoric and desolate races strongly resist the plane creatures. This is true for the underworld camp, and the demon camp of the bottomless abyss is no exception. Basically, all lower plane life will carry this kind of corrosion and radiation. It is determined by the form of their life and civilization. Although this kind of corrosion and radiation is far inferior to the erosion of the hidden existence in the low latitudes, which distorts reality into a nightmare, the corrosion and radiation of the lower plane are also very terrifying. Now, once a certain area is corroded, it may not recover for a thousand years, and it may even spread to other places.

Hao once read some records of the first Ten Thousand Clans War. Except for the war of the Ten Thousand Clans themselves, the world was smashed apart, and various forbidden spells, summoning spells, or basic weapons, radiation, and corrosion were used at the same time. , viruses, genetic mutations, etc., but it is still the various camps and armies of the lower plane that have the greatest impact. The result of the best efforts of the family saints to mediate.

Moreover, the invasion of the underworld camp is obviously just the beginning and a sign, which means that the lower plane of the Ten Thousand Clans War will also enter the arena. This is very terrible news for Hao, very very terrible, because for the For all races, human beings are resources that can be eaten and used. There are not many races that are purely used for food. Generally, the more civilized and powerful a race is, the less likely it is to use humans for food. Of course, the ancient The beast lineage is different from the dragon race, but humans fall into the hands of the ten thousand races. During the war between the ten thousand races, they are more likely to be used as cannon fodder or used to experiment with weapons, and there is still a chance to escape.

But if it falls into the hands of the lower plane's race, it is best to commit suicide immediately while being captured, so as to preserve the soul and leave a trace of thought, at least it will not be painful for a long time, but if the suicide is unsuccessful, That is like being stuffed into a melting pot of souls, unless you are blown up, a hundred years of endless pain awaits you.

The lower planes are almost all masters who play with the soul, and death is really just the beginning of pain for the creatures of the lower planes.

Hao looked at the black cloud in the distance, and he felt heavy in his heart. This black cloud seemed to be the future of the Great Desolate Continent. With the resumption of the Great War of Ten Thousand Races, the human beings on this Prehistoric Continent will suffer the most tragic future...

(Human City, if it exists, can it resist the aftermath of the Ten Thousand Clans War? No, it is no longer the aftermath. When the Ten Thousand Clans War resumes, the Human City will inevitably be attacked. Can the Human City...can resist it?)

(I brought these people into the Great Desolate Continent, all the preparations have not yet been made, there is no clue of the intelligence of the Human City, no detailed information about the Great War of Ten Thousand Clans, and even the destination, I will take them Where do we go from here?)

(They followed me and entrusted their lives to me. Can I lead them to survive? Can I bring them to Human City?)

(I……)
There are many thoughts in Hao's heart. What happened in the past few days seems to be all on his shoulders. Counting the elves here, there are nearly a thousand people. In these days of contact, Hao has already followed The elves, whether it is their abilities or their personalities, have figured it out. To be honest, if he doesn't care about them, they won't survive three chapters... No, they won't survive three chapters. Now that they are in the team, Hao Feeling that he is responsible for their lives, as well as the lives of his clansmen, he... must lead them away from this dangerous battlefield!

That afternoon, after the clansmen all woke up, most of the elves also woke up. Although it was impossible to completely eliminate the fatigue of these days during the half-day recuperation, everyone's mental state was indeed much better, and Hao also ordered the clansmen to cook some meals, adding meat and vegetables, and a sumptuous meal cheered up all the clansmen.

As for the meals of the elves, Hao cooks them himself. He has read a lot of books, which naturally include books on various foods, because there are many treasures of heaven and earth, and human beings will greatly improve their health if they eat them. Quality and spiritual quality, and even some extremely rare treasures of heaven and earth, there is a very small chance that human beings can become aliens, that is, extraordinary people. At the beginning, Hao had read hundreds of similar books, so he His cooking skills are actually quite good.

With staple food, vegetables, meat, and seasonings, Hao cooked a sumptuous dinner for these elves. Of course, it is rich from a human point of view. At this time, these elves also began to feel rich, especially The taste is very good, everyone's face is happy after eating.

At this time, the sky had already begun to become dark, but after Yixue activated the magic lamp of the elves on the ceiling of the outpost with magic power, the entire outpost lit up, and Hao sat in front of all the elves, respectfully He said to Ai Yi: "Miss Ai Yi, I wonder if the parts here are enough to assemble a magic car?"

Ai Yi is drinking tea. There are not many tea leaves in this outpost, but there are about two catties. The tea is actually a bit inferior, and it is definitely incomparable with the tea Ai Yi drank in the past. Yi was in a good mood, she put down her teacup and said, "I looked at the types and quantities of these parts, and I can assemble a magic car, that's for sure, but there is a problem, I need enough time to assemble it." , I calculated it before, it takes me about three days to assemble each magic node, the burning of the magic circle, and the infusion of the magic energy flow, and I can't assemble it while rushing during this period."

Hao was overjoyed, then sank again. He thought about it silently, and asked again: "What about the power? How much horsepower can this magic car get?"

Ai Yi said directly: "It's about [-] horsepower. It's definitely not comparable to a regular crafted magic car, but [-] horsepower is definitely achievable."

"Thirty horsepower..."

Hao thought about it again in silence. Thirty horsepower is not weak. This is the strength of the elves for magic vehicles such as magic cars and magic trains. This horse is not an ordinary horse, but unique to the elves. The output of the mount unicorn, any adult unicorn is a monster, not to mention the strongest unicorns, ordinary unicorns have at least one level of strength, and their output is very large, thirty unicorns The power of the horned beast can even carry 600 people forward, and if this magic car really has a power of [-] horsepower, it can really be said to be the savior of the marching team.

In the whole team, those human women and children are the most slowing down. They can't walk like grown men. Many of them have reached the limit these days. If they can take the magic car, then the marching speed will be faster. It has been greatly improved, and for the [-]-horsepower magic car, as long as it is modified with a few more wooden planks and slats, even the tired people can take turns to rest. In this way, it is not a problem to march hundreds of kilometers a day.

But three days...

Hao's brain started to work crazily. Starting from the border of the Elf Empire, this area, and up to a thousand kilometers outside the border of the Elf Empire, all the topographical maps came to his mind, and then the situation of each location, Buildings, garrisons, forests, grasslands, mountains, lakes, rivers...all are reflected one by one, and from the current known situation, the node of the invasion of the underworld camp, the range reflected by the soul melting pot, and the possible incoming races around The army turned into countless possibilities and kept moving on this map in his mind, one possibility, two possibilities, ten possibilities, hundreds of possibilities...thousands of possibilities...

A few seconds later, Hao closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he said: "No, it's not safe here, let's stay one more day, the possibility of not being able to escape the spread of this battlefield is 15.00%, if we stay for two more Days, the probability will immediately soar to 70.00%, if it is three days... we will have nowhere to go, and will definitely be affected by the war! We absolutely cannot stay here for three days."

Many elves were puzzled, and looked at Hao in shock. No one spoke for a while, but Ai took another sip of tea and said, "Then what do you think? I can't infuse magic power while walking. , that at least requires a high-level magician to be exposed to super magic skills to be able to do it, I can't do it."

Of course Hao knows this, unless he is exposed to super magic skills such as concentration or concentration, and may even need further mobile spellcasting skills, otherwise when a magician uses magic, he must keep his body and mind calm. Stillness is almost necessary, Ai really can't do it, and the magic car...is also very important, this is a problem between two men.

(do the math again...)
Hao frantically calculated again. On the virtual map in his mind, the marching speed and direction of their team, as well as the speed and direction of any other possible incoming troops, and those of the underworld camp The speed of diffusion, the possibility of the time when the battle breaks out... On this map, countless lines are constantly criss-crossing, and the red dot represented by their team is slowly moving outward, constantly in the gaps of all the lines Shuttle, encounter lines from time to time, and then collapse...

"...Make a workshop made of wood!" Hao suddenly said to Ai Yi: "Miss Ai Yi needs about five square meters of space to assemble the magic car. If it is made of wood boards, Miss Ai Yi's weight, plus The weight of the parts, plus the weight of the wooden plank... needs 100 people to bear it. In order to keep it from bumping, wooden wheels need to be made. At the same time, it is best to have people pushing and pulling from the front, back, left, and right sides. This requires about 75 people to maintain it. Power, if it advances in this way, Ms. Ai can also make magic cars during the day, but the efficiency is definitely not as fast as making them quietly in the room, so I estimate that the manufacturing time of magic cars will be five days, and these five days During the day, our speed of travel will be delayed, and the speed of travel will be reduced by about ten to fifteen kilometers per day. In this way, after five days, we will lose fifty to [-] kilometers of distance, but it is worth it, although My clansmen and I will be a little tired, but we can keep choosing directions as we keep moving forward, thus avoiding most of the dangers. After five days, we can complete the magic car. At that time, The speed of travel is at least about [-] kilometers a day, and we will completely cross out of the war zone in the remaining five days, and by then, the danger will be greatly reduced!"

Ai Yi said in astonishment: "You want me to assemble the magic car while walking?"

Hao shook his head and said: "I will definitely not let Miss Aiyi walk, it will lead to magic backlash, Miss Aiyi is extremely noble...Even if all comparisons such as blood, race, and nobility are thrown away, Miss Aiyi is our The strongest magician here is also the only transcendent of the law system. Miss Ai Yi is irreplaceable to all of us. The method I mentioned will have the least impact on Miss Ai Yi, and the efficiency is as high as It will be halved, and Miss Ai will not be affected by it.”

Ai said: "I don't mean me, but you do this... Your people can bear it!? This is to build a house without walls, drag the house, and keep it stable , keep the speed, are you sure?"

Hao nodded earnestly and said: "I confirm, because our purpose is to survive, and for this purpose, we can overcome anything and do anything, as long as the majority of people can survive, even if it is something Sacrifice is not spared, and it's just a little more effort and a little more hardship, and we can do it, I'm sure, miss."

Ai Yi and the other elves looked at each other a few times, they didn't expect Hao's answer to be this, and his determination was so great, after a long time, Ai Yi nodded and said: "I can try, you... at last Let’s try, if it doesn’t work, we’ll think of another way.”

Hao agreed, and immediately returned to the lobby on the first floor, called half of the non-commissioned officers, and selected three hundred strong clansmen from among the clansmen, half of them were holding weapons, the other half were holding tools, and there were no tools. All of them followed, and then Hao started to cut wood with the clansmen, and then cut the planks and slats.

After dinner, more than 300 people worked for almost six hours, and it was almost early morning before Hao took them back to the outpost, and then ordered them to rest.

Early the next morning, Hao started to design this walking hut with the paper and pens in the outpost.

Because of the lack of tools, especially nails and glue, it is very difficult to make a qualified cabin, but Hao has also read books on woodworking and other crafts, and his brain has recorded all the knowledge he has read in categories. At this time, memory was used, and many design plans were drawn on paper. With some carpentry skills, even without nails or any glue, two boards can be tightly combined without loosening. At this moment, I am using these techniques to design a solution that is the lightest and the space is large enough.

After the design was completed, some members of the tribe had already woken up one after another. Now Hao woke up the tribe members who did not log or patrol yesterday, and led them to start cutting wood and sorting out wooden boards. Of course, these wooden boards will definitely not be beautiful, even uneven. There are still many injustices, but at this time, I don’t care about them. With enough people, Hao only does the work of small wood cutting and combination. When the elves get up, a whole piece of wood about five or six square meters Already made.

Afterwards, the women of the own tribe made breakfast, and with the help of Ai, a magician, and Yi Xueer, a magic apprentice, Hao made the mobile house much faster. The cutting and shaping of the wooden boards were helped by magic. , faster than dozens of clansmen working together, apart from the floor, Hao only made the walls half a meter high, this is to prevent parts from being scattered, otherwise just a piece of wood is enough, even the walls are not needed.

Then there are wooden tires, then wooden bearings, connectors...

Fortunately, there is a magician in the team, and it is a second-level magician, and this second-level magician is also a magician from a noble family. Ai Yi knows a lot of magic, otherwise Hao's idea would not be realized quickly.

And at noon, after everyone had lunch, the mobile hut was ready, Hao let Ai sit in it, and moved all the parts to it, and after that, Hao and about a hundred tribesmen , in four directions, front, back, left, and right, or pushing, or pulling, or helping, together forcefully push this mobile hut up. The speed will definitely not be fast, but the speed will not be too slow under the condition of exerting strength. , It’s just that in this way, the strength of the people who pushed the hut was exhausted.

However, Hao’s idea was finally achieved. After testing this, Ai also confirmed that it is indeed possible to assemble in this hut. Although there are some bumps from time to time, as long as she slows down, it will not cause magic backlash.

Suddenly, Hao breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately, he ordered the clansmen to bring everything that could be carried in the outpost, and then led the team to the direction he had designed. In terms of pushing the hut, one hundred The number of clan members is that all clan members come in turns, and every 100 people push for half an hour, and then the other [-] clan members are rotated.

Only Hao kept pulling the leash and walking in the line, never letting go, for one hour, two hours, three hours...

His shoulders were worn out, his muscles seemed to have lost all feeling, and he didn't ask anyone to replace him, and he just walked like this for a whole day.
