Several teams are involved in this direction.

Leave the territory and go south.

First there was the frozen wetland, which was slippery and not easy for people to stand on, and then came the bushes.

At this point, the map exploration mission officially begins.

After passing through the bushes, the terrain dropped suddenly, becoming a downhill slope. A large grassland in front of us was completely unobstructed, and we could see a high mountain in the distance.

The exploration team walked for a little more than ten kilometers before successfully arriving at the foot of the mountain.

This mountain is very high, but not as high as Beishan.

The foot of the mountain merges with the lower reaches of the Dongliang River, blocking everyone's path forward.

Citizens did not move on.

This location is already the furthest place citizens can go, and if you go any further, you have to spend the night outdoors.

It’s minus 30 degrees and the weather is freezing cold. If you sleep in the wild, you don’t have to think about getting up, because you will definitely not be able to get up.

However, this place also let Lin Zhensheng know the location of Zhan Botong.

Climb up the mountain, it doesn’t need to be high, just you can see across the Dongliang River.

That’s Zhan Botong’s territory.

There are twenty or thirty mud and thatched houses, and the population of the territory is estimated to be hundreds, which is almost the same as Lin Zhensheng's base camp.

Recalling the time when this woman vowed: "Coming to you would be a very good choice."

Damn it, there are hundreds of people in your territory!

The little girl looks quite pretty, but in fact she doesn’t say a word of truth.

Fortunately, Lin Zhensheng kept his mouth shut at the time and didn't mess around. In the end, he didn't tell anyone about the Zhongshan Iron Mine and the logging factory, otherwise it would be bad if she found out.

The situation in the south is like this, and now only the east is left.

The situation on the east side is more complicated.

After crossing the river, there is a small grassland, followed by woods, Funnel Lake, the ruins of the former Wei Shuguang territory, and Zhongshan and Meishan along the upper reaches of the East Liangjiang River.

Especially the coal mountain that was just discovered this time is a top priority.

He will take it.

But the situation is also very difficult. Who would have thought that the other side is someone else's territory.

What can we do?

…………………………

The blizzard was raging, sweeping across the entire land, and there were white flowers everywhere.

Some windy places in the territory are filled with snow, and even the wind-blown surface has formed a thin hard crust.

The environment is extremely harsh and no place for people to stay.

However, the fire in the earthen fireplace in Lin Zhensheng's mud and thatched house was burning brightly, and the room temperature was very pleasant and comfortable.

Separated by a wall, there is heaven and earth.

I looked at the system table and it was two o'clock in the afternoon.

Good guy.

The snowstorm had been blowing for almost a day, and it was already past noon. He didn't even realize that he was hungry.

Get some food to eat.

Tie the rabbit to a wooden stick, brush it with a little oil, and roast it slowly over a slow fire.

As time goes by slowly, the surface of the rabbit gradually becomes tight, and the oozing oil drips onto the charcoal fire, making a "squeaking" sound, and the fragrance instantly fills the entire room.

Lin Zhensheng turned his hands from time to time and looked at the rabbit with his eyes, as if he was always paying attention to whether the rabbit meat was burnt. In fact, he was still thinking about Meishan.

Mining coal is easy.

He sent people to dig on the south side. The north side was not exposed at all, so it would naturally not be discovered. Moreover, the excavated coal could be taken directly by water and returned from Funnel Lake.

Of course, whether it can be mined now is another question. After all, it’s freezing outside, so open-air operations are unlikely.

The problem now is that Lin Zhensheng’s citizen has been discovered, what should we do?

A person's territory is across the river. Once a war breaks out, his support will definitely not be as fast as others, and the citizens who stay on Meishan will suffer.

This matter is not easy to solve.

Hmm~

Lin Zhensheng took a deep breath and blurted out: "Damn it, I'm confused!"

I quickly took the rabbit away and turned it over to see that there were several dark spots.

"Huh~ It's okay, I was just a little confused, it's okay."

Lin Zhensheng shaved off the dark spots and chewed on it a few times, and it still tasted delicious.

While eating, he made up his mind.

He planned to wait for the blizzard to pass before going back to the coal mountain to observe the situation on the other side and make a decision.

As the sky gradually darkened, it was past 18 o'clock, and it was already dark outside, and the snowstorm still showed no signs of letting up.

After dinner, Lin Zhensheng sat in front of the fireplace to warm up, listening to the howling wind outside the window, and leaned on his chair in a daze.

I don’t know how much time passed [ding], but the system prompt sounded in my ears.

【Danger Cleared】

[Reward: Territory Core 1]

Lin Zhensheng's eyes suddenly widened, and he suddenly woke up.

[Danger Alert] Passed!

Looking at the system time, it's exactly eight o'clock in the evening. The snowstorm has been blowing for twelve hours. It's awesome.

Don't waste time, sit down at the workbench and use the territory core.

【Ding】

[Your territory has been successfully upgraded to level 28.]

[You have unlocked a new building blueprint: eighth-level mud grass wall, horseshoes, shovels, iron crowbars, iron bearings, wooden roulette waterwheels...]

【Your profile has been updated.】

[Lord: Lin Zhensheng]

[Territory Level: Level 28 Mud Thatched House]

【Population: 236 people】

Um………………

Lin Zhensheng feels that this upgrade is a bit satisfactory. Except for the walls, there seems to be no improvement.

[Eighth level mud and grass wall = clay*40, hay bales*8, wood*8]

A must-have item.

Directly collect more than 300 yuan, replenish the materials, and upgrade collectively.

A familiar six-hour countdown appears on the wall.

Lin Zhensheng continues to focus on other blueprints.

[Horseshoe=iron ingot*2]

Good stuff.

It is exactly what the big black horse needs, and it can be used as a set with the saddle.

There are eighteen horses in the racecourse now, so let’s get eighteen sets, no, let’s make up a round number of twenty sets.

Use it directly after training the horse, and save money on manufacturing it when the time comes.

[Shovel=iron ingot*2 wood*2]

Also useful.

But he has a shovel.

Um... I won't make it now, I'll talk about it later when I use it.

[Iron crowbar = iron ingot*2 wood*2]

The Holy Sword of Physics.

Lin Zhensheng looked at this thing and didn't know what to say.

Same as above, we'll talk about it later when it comes in handy.
To be continued...
