The next few days.

Textile factory delivers linen fishing nets.

Logging factory delivers small wooden boat.

Lin Zhensheng produces typhoid and cough pulp.

Everything is in order until the [Danger Alert] countdown [3 days: 01:21:56].

The sun has just risen. It’s really early in the morning and the sky has just dawned.

【Ding】

【You have a new SMS message.】

Lin Zhensheng was woken up by the notification sound and was too lazy to move, so he opened the message with squinting eyes.

[Shengdongdong: Brother Lin, I found traces of other people.]

[Shengdongdong: Brother Lin, are you up?]

[Meng Dongdong: Brother Lin, do you remember that lake? They are walking towards us along the lake.]

Rub.

Lin Zhensheng suddenly sat up.

Someone is approaching?

[Lin Zhensheng: Dongdong, how many people did they come?]

[Mengdongdong: I can’t see the number clearly, but it’s just a group of people anyway.]

[Lin Zhensheng: Dongdong, don’t expose yourself first and pay close attention.]

[Shengdongdong: Don’t worry, Brother Lin. Zhongshan is not that easy to get to, and we have stone pickaxes in our hands, so we are not afraid.]

[Lin Zhensheng: Keep an eye on me.]

After saying this, Lin Zhensheng went out to the riverside and arrived at the dock. The wooden boat was resting.

"Lord."

"Go to the outpost downstream and be on standby, ready to evacuate people at any time."

"Yes!"

The wooden boat leaves the dock directly.

There are only two buildings on the grassland across the river, a wooden platform and the other is an outpost. The former can be hidden in the mountains, but the latter has nowhere to hide.

Now the group of people by the lake can be seen clearly as long as they come out of the woods and enter the grassland. So Lin Zhensheng rushed here as soon as possible to protect the people.

At the same time, he had to consider whether to evacuate the outpost downstream. Otherwise, when encountering such a situation, the people inside would have nowhere to hide, and they couldn't just send a boat to pick them up.

Hmm.

If you have to evacuate, send all the people inside to the sub-territory in Zhongshan, so that concealment and logistics can be guaranteed.

However, let’s finish the immediate matters first.

Lin Zhensheng stood alone on the pier, looking across the river.

There are no leaves in the woods, and empty branches hang on them. If you look carefully, you can still see bird's nests. However, there is a low slope in the woods, and behind the low slope is the lake.

Time passed bit by bit, and at eight o'clock in the morning, the countdown also jumped to [2 days: 24:00:00].

[Midwinter: They arrived at the mouth of the funnel and entered the woods. I couldn’t see them anymore.]

[Lin Zhensheng: Dongdong, citizens don’t mine iron ore, you have all hidden it.]

[Shengdongdong: Okay, Brother Lin.]

Lin Zhensheng had just finished replying to the message when he looked up and saw shadows shaking in the woods.

They had just climbed onto the low slope of the woods.

【Ding】

[I found a small group of refugees in the east of the territory. Do you want to accept them?]

Refugee?

Huh?

They are not invaders, they are refugees!

Why are there refugees coming at this time?

The refugees always arrive on the day of territory upgrade, either in the morning or in the afternoon, but never at other times.

[Danger Alert] It’s been four days and you’re here? It’s so unreasonable that Lin Zhensheng was extremely nervous and thought it was an intruder.

But this was fine, and Lin Zhensheng let out a sigh of relief.

The system did not allow him time to breathe, with a familiar blue frame on his face and a one-minute pop-up window counting down.

Accept.

Definitely pick it up.

He discovered that every time refugees came to his territory, it was when he had no shortage of people.

Hey, that’s weird.

【Your profile has been updated.】

[Lord: Lin Zhensheng]

[Territory Level: Level 21 Mud Thatched House]

【Population: 236 people】

Oh, not many people came this time, only forty people.

Tell Shengdongdong first, so that he will be frightened in Zhongshan.

[Lin Zhensheng: Dongdong, it’s okay, I’m a refugee. I just came to remind you.]

[Shengdongdong: Huh? Refugees coming at this time? Are they fake?]

Lin Zhensheng smiled. Coincidentally, he thought so too. However, the population of the territory has been updated, so it must be correct.

[Lin Zhensheng: They are indeed refugees. The population of the territory has been updated to forty people.]

[Shengdongdong: Okay then.]

[Lin Zhensheng: Go down the mountain, take them and all the people in the downstream outpost to the Zhongshan sub-territory, and ask the boatman to drive the boat back.]

[Shengdongdong: Won’t the newcomers be transported back to the base camp?]

[Lin Zhensheng: The base camp has enough manpower, these people will be left to you to mine.]

[Shengdongdong: Understand.]

Lin Zhensheng did some calculations. Forty people plus five people from the outpost are now living in the Zhongshan sub-territory. There is no problem. It can be crowded.

[Lin Zhensheng: I will give you their supporting facilities later.]

[Shengdongdong: There is no problem here at the iron mine. I’m at the bottom of the mountain.]

Lin Zhensheng turned off the chat channel and looked to the other side.

The refugees have walked out of the woods and are approaching the river.

A man ran out of Zhongshan in a hurry, waving his hands as he ran, and seemed to be shouting something.

It didn't take ten minutes for the two groups to meet.

As soon as they met, the refugees knelt down, nodded, bowed, and made gestures with their hands.

Lin Zhensheng stood on the other side and saw everything clearly. He didn't even have to guess. It must be "Thank you Lord Lord for keeping me alive. We are willing to become Lord Lord's subjects for generations and give everything for the territory." That's what they did.

His speech and body movements are exactly the same every time, and he doesn’t even change his lines.

Unable to complain.

Shengdongdong hid to one side without worshiping anyone, explained the situation to them, then led the team south, gathered all the people, and went up the mountain.

[Mengdongdong: Brother Lin, after the processing is completed, bring them all back to the sub-territory.]

[Lin Zhensheng: Okay, the daily necessities are finished, I’ll let you know.]

[Midwinter: Understand.]

After turning off the channel, Lin Zhensheng returned to the base camp without stopping and opened the workbench.

Each of Zhongshan Iron Mine's three mud huts houses five people. If there are 40 new citizens in the territory, eight new ones will be built.

However, Lin Zhensheng does not want to directly build mud and thatched houses.

Because of trouble.

We have to find a place to build it, dismantle it, and pack it into storage so that we can build it again.
