“No Wanderer in the wilderness could resist the temptation of becoming a resident of the tower City, including Qian Long, Tai Seng, Murong Ziyan, and so on. ”
“The Wanderers had been wandering in the wilderness for their entire lives. From the beginning of their memories to the end of their lives, they had struggled in the sea of suffering almost every day. When they heard that the residents of the city could live without hunger, without worrying about being eaten by monsters while sleeping, and without having to bear the pain of frost and dew at night without covering their bodies, they even regarded it as a beautiful legend. ”
“One day, when they finally confirmed that the beautiful legends they heard were not false, becoming a resident of the city became their greatest pursuit in life. From their fathers to their sons, to their grandchildren, generation after generation, they bitterly hoped that this great fortune would befall them. ”
“Now, was the light of luck about to befall him? ”
“After exterminating the bloodthirsty gnomes, the Wanderers in the valley Camp knew that Tang Zhen was going to build a city Tower, and they were lucky enough to become residents of this City Tower. ”
“This sudden happiness caused them to spend the next few days in a mixture of surprise, worry, and confusion. Many of them were out of their minds. ”
“Tang Zhen didn’t care about the Wanderers who were worried about gains and losses. Instead, he began to consider the preparation work before building the tower. ”
The rocks of the cliffs in the valley were hard and were very ideal building materials. It was a pity that building a house with such stones would be attacked by monsters because it was not protected by the laws.
“The towers had a natural ability to drive away monsters. Other than the groups of monsters that attacked the city and the powerful wandering monsters that needed to be defended, the monsters in the wilderness would subconsciously stay away from the towers. ”
“Even if monsters occasionally broke into the defensive range of the city, they would be killed by the cultivators of the city. Therefore, the city was called a shelter for the Wanderers, and it was not deliberately glorified. ”
“Natural rock buildings were not protected by the laws of heaven and earth, but they could effectively block monsters. Tang Zhen wanted to use this natural barrier to allow the newly built building to only face the monsters ‘attacks from one direction. ”
“Three sides were backed by mountains, and one side was facing the enemy. ”
“That’s right, Tang Zhen planned to “”embed”” the newly built City Tower into the cliff! ”
“The cliff had a huge depression in the direction of the valley, and during the construction and upgrade of the City Tower, the city Lord could make some changes to the shape of the tower. ”
“What Tang Zhen had to do was to embed the city into the mountain’s depression when building the city. This way, when the monsters attacked the city, they could only attack the front of the city. ”
“If there was a need in the future, he could also send people to excavate the space inside the cliff, killing two birds with one stone. ”
“Although doing so would affect the city’s future upgrades, it seemed like the benefits outweighed the disadvantages. ”
“Tang Zhen gathered Qian Long, Tai Seng, and the others for a discussion. After Tang Zhen assured them that he could provide them with sufficient resources, they decided to build three defensive lines in front of the city. They hoped that after the city was built, they would be able to effectively block and kill some of the monsters that were attacking the city. ”
“The first line of defense was a trench full of sharpened iron rods. First, the front of the tower was completely dug out, and a large trench three meters wide and two meters deep was dug. After the monster attack was over, it could be used to fill up a section of the tunnel. ”
“After confirming the first line of defense, more than a dozen Wanderers brandished the pickaxes that Tang Zhen had brought and began to excavate while sweating profusely. However, there were only a few people involved in the construction, so it would take some time to excavate the entire trench. ”
“The second one was proposed by Tang Zhen. It was a thorny iron wire wrapped with iron thorns. It was said that this thing was particularly effective in resisting the charge of infantry, but its effect in resisting the charge of monsters was unknown. ”
“Regardless of the effect, Tang Zhen still chose to set it as the second layer of defense because it was simple and fast. ”
“After the thorny iron net was coiled into a circle, it was mixed together densely and formed a long line, which made the Wanderers click their tongues in wonder. This thing was specially bought by Tang Zhen after he was teleported back. At the same time, he also brought hundreds of cement pillars into the valley. ”
“Tai Seng and the other Wanderers were naturally surprised by the large amount of resources that had suddenly appeared in the cave of the valley. They had also asked Tang Zhen about it, but Tang Zhen did not give any explanation. He only smiled, and this unknowingly increased the sense of mystery and respect he had for the Wanderers. ”
“Now that the second line of defense was in sight, it was time for the third line of defense. ”
“The third line of defense was the shortest, but it was the strongest. It was made entirely of concrete and stone. The stone wall was three meters tall and one meter thick, firmly wrapping the area in front of the building. One could only enter and exit from an iron door welded with a thick steel pipe. ”
“The three lines of defense required a lot of work. Even if the Wanderer camp in the valley, Tang Zhen, and the others were included, it would be impossible to complete them in a short time. ”
“However, Tang Zhen didn’t want to delay it any longer. If there was a group of undead and monsters wandering in the wilderness that accidentally entered this place one day, the Wanderers without the protection of the city would be in danger. ”
“When thousand Dragon saw Tang Zhen’s worry, he suggested that they could hire a group of Wanderers to help. If they performed well, they could choose to stay behind and help them fight the monsters. ”
“However, according to Qian Long’s estimation, the prerequisite for the Wanderers outside to stay behind was to understand Tang Zhen’s powerful ability. Otherwise, there would really not be anyone who would easily stay behind to court death. ”
“When monsters attacked the city, there was a 90% chance of death. This was common knowledge that many Wanderers knew. It was also the price that the residents of the city had to pay before they could enjoy peace. ”
“Every time such a time came, the Father would rush to the front and protect the tower with his life to ensure that the later generations could enjoy the comfort that they had exchanged for with their lives. ”
“After Qian Long finished speaking, he waited for Tang Zhen to make a decision. ”
Tang Zhen thought for a moment before he nodded and agreed. He asked Qian Long to arrange this matter and offered a higher reward to attract a large number of Wanderers.
“After seeing Tang Zhen agree, Qian Long led two helpers with weapons and food and set off for the nearest Wanderer gathering area. They were expected to be able to return in five days. ”
“After Qian Long left, Tang Zhen passed the construction of the defensive line to Tai Seng while he entered the cave and activated the teleportation array to return home. ”
“He took out his phone from his storage space. As soon as he opened it, many text messages popped up. After picking out a few important calls, Tang Zhen shook his head helplessly. ”
“Because there was no cell phone signal in the other world, he could only put his phone in his storage space at home. However, it would inevitably make people suspicious after a long time. Why was his phone always turned off and he could not find anyone? ”
“It had to be said that mobile phones made life more convenient, but they also used invisible chains to restrict people’s freedom. ”
“The City Tower was about to be built and the first task was to resist the monster’s attack. Whether Tang Zhen’s grand plan could be implemented or not, defending the city Tower was an extremely important link. It could be said that success or failure depended on this move. ”
“Tang Zhen would definitely not allow his hard work to go to waste. Therefore, he would go all out this time! ”
