Natural disaster at the beginning: I will lead the system to build a safe zone

Hearing Wang Erhu say this, Yan Fei and the others agreed without hesitation. They were also particularly interested in such high-yield and delicious food.

Wang Erhu continued, "After we had food, Miss Shi started thinking about how to improve our lives. She taught us how to make bricks, build houses, and start raising livestock. In order to increase the arable land, she also helped us reclaim terraced fields, which are over there."

Wang Erhu pointed to the terraced fields where lush green seedlings had grown. The fields of grain crops swayed slightly in the wind, looking very spectacular.

"I was wondering, when I came here before, all I saw was a barren mountain. Now there are so many lands where crops can be grown. No wonder you don't starve." Yan Fei said with some envy. Compared to the luck of the people in Guangming Village, their experiences were much more miserable.

"It's all thanks to Miss Shi, otherwise we wouldn't be able to survive in this world. You don't know, when the first hail fell, we all thought we were dead, but guess what, the hail couldn't break the protective shield at all." Wang Erhu said mysteriously.

"What?! This protective shield can protect against hail? No wonder Guangming Village didn't seem to be affected by the natural disaster at all. Was the extreme cold and sky fire also protected by the protective shield?"

Yan Fei was secretly excited. If this was true, then he had made a great choice by choosing to come to Guangming Village with Shi Anan. The reason why they were becoming more and more miserable was because they could not fight against nature. No one wanted to fall into despair again and again.

Wang Erhu nodded and shook his head: "The protective shield can defend against the hail and the rocks falling from the sky, but the temperature drop and the forest fire caused by the sky fire at that time still had some impact on us. However, because Miss Shi has many ways, we have successfully survived."

Although it cannot be completely avoided, it is much safer than staying in a town without any defense.

"Before you came, our Guangming Village had already taken in two waves of people from Changle Village. The deputy village chief Li Zimu who took you in was originally from Changle Village. They live relatively close to us, and during the extreme cold, many people couldn't survive and came to ask for help. Now they have completely integrated into the life of Guangming Village."

Yan Fei nodded after hearing this: "Guangming Village is indeed good, and we will adapt to life here as soon as possible."

Afterwards, Wang Erhu introduced to them the functions of several factories and some jobs that could be found, which naturally caused these people to be amazed again.

They were amazed by the brick kiln factory with extremely high efficiency in firing bricks, or the cement factory and soap factory they had never seen before. They could even make such precious paper here. If they were willing, they could even use a kind of paper called toilet paper produced by the paper mill to wipe their butts.

This, this is such a waste of resources!

This is precious paper!

In addition, if they cannot enter the factory they want to work in, they can also sign up for the security team or the mining team. Both teams currently have huge vacancies. Young and middle-aged people like Yan Fei will definitely be hired as long as they apply.

After they finished chatting, they arrived at the residential area. Wang Erhu took them into a relatively large house with more than a dozen rooms. All of them had large bunk beds. Each bed could accommodate at least ten people, so it was no problem to squeeze more than a hundred people into these dozen rooms.

"Okay, I'll take you here first. I've shown you the location of the cafeteria just now. After you pack up and bring your meal ticket, you can go to the cafeteria to eat. The meal ticket can only be used to buy set meals. If you want to eat other snacks, you have to pay extra. It's up to you."

"If you need anything, you can come find me. I live in the alley over there."

Yan Fei nodded and said gratefully: "Thank you, brother Erhu, we got it. You can go and do your work first and don't worry about us."

After Wang Erhu left, Yan Fei put his hands on his hips and shouted to his brothers, "Start working, brothers. Let's finish early so we can go to the cafeteria to eat!"

Such a motivated scene was not only happening to Yan Fei and his group. All the people who came from the town to seek refuge were full of expectations for life here after learning about the development history of Guangming Village. The numb and lifeless look in people's eyes was no longer seen before in the town.

When everyone was busy cleaning up their living quarters, Shi Anan also followed Liu and others back home and talked about their trip to the town.

When talking about the destruction of the town and the few remaining people, everyone showed a sad and compassionate expression. If they hadn't protected An An sometimes, they would probably be the same as the people in the town now.

Liu sighed with some regret: "Sister An, according to what you said, the town has become like this now. How are the surviving villagers in the surrounding villages going to survive? Why are they unwilling to come with you to our place?"

This is what Shi Anan talked about when she encountered something in Dahe Village, but she did not elaborate on how the people in Dahe Village were wary of them at the time, so Liu did not quite understand why they did not follow this group of people.

Shi Anan explained: "The people in that village are relatively united, but also somewhat xenophobic. For the future development of Guangming Village, I deliberately did not bring them here. We have just started to develop, and it would be a bit stressful to bring so many people in at once."

"However, after a while, they might come to us on their own." Shi Anan showed a smile that seemed to see through everything.

Liu nodded, not quite understanding. She always listened to Shi An'an on these matters. Since Sister An said that this could not be done, she must have her reasons.

"An An, you also said that the official road from the town to the county has been destroyed. Doesn't that mean we can never get out?" Ruan was obviously thinking more long-term. If Guangming Village wants to develop, it will definitely not be able to do so without external exchanges.

Shi Anan nodded worriedly when she heard this: "This is what I am worried about now. This place is still too small and its development is limited. Not only that, we don't have much salt left. Although I can use silver to exchange some with the gods for emergency use, this is not a long-term solution after all."

Xiao Yi thought for a moment and said, "Let's go find the salt mine first."

Shi Anan looked up at him and said, "The salt mine is over at the back of the mountain. No one has ever been there and I don't know if there is any danger there."

Yi Shi Anan's original idea was to go to the town first to see if she could exchange some salt. If not, she also wanted to go to the county. But now the town has been destroyed and she can't go to the county.

"We have to go even though it's dangerous. There is no other choice now. Compared to spending manpower to clear the road to the county, the salt mine is closer to us now, and the county doesn't know what the situation is." It was rare for Xiao Yi to express such a long opinion on the development of Guangming Village.

But what he said made sense. Since they knew the location of the salt mine, there was no need to go far away to a county where they had no idea what was going on. Although exploration was dangerous, who knew if there would be any other dangers in the county.

Shi Anan figured it out and made a decision: "Let's take a rest, and then we'll go to the back mountain to look for salt mines."

When Liu and the others heard that they were going out again, they frowned and looked a little worried, but they didn't say anything against it. They all knew that in order to survive, they had to go out.
