As soon as the words fell, the refugees immediately started whispering.

"One hundred pounds of soil is exchanged for one pound of dried meat. This is a very capable job!"

"I think it's okay. I know the river bend. It's very close. Before I came to the camp, I had planned to build a house there for the winter. It only takes an hour for us to go back and forth. It's much better than cutting down trees, right?"

"I won't do it. It's too dangerous near the water. There might be a lynx. If you hit it, it'll be over."

"No way? It's getting colder and colder now. The lynx must have gone into the hole, right?"

"There are no lynxes, so what about the big claws? I heard that there are often big claws by the water in Wanku Forest."

"No way? At this time, the tiger should go up the mountain to catch giant horned deer for the winter."

"I'm not sure why I have to take this risk. Can't I cut down the trees and exchange them for dried meat?"

"It takes only two or three kilograms of dried meat to chop for a day. It's too late to save enough food to eat in the ice tide. It's better to dig in the soil."

"You are not enough for me, but it is enough anyway. I won't go."

Chen Jiu watched their discussion quietly, knowing that these refugees must have different choices.

The reason is very simple. Everyone here has different physical abilities and different food reserves.

With good physical fitness and plenty of food reserves, the income from cutting down trees alone is enough to survive the ice wave.

But if their physical fitness is not good, or if the food they have previously stored is not enough, they will obviously be more inclined to take risks.

This is the same as players - except that they don't have a chance to come back.

After waiting for a few minutes, the first refugee stood up, and this person was Lin Wen, one of the first people to enter the camp.

Later, a total of five people were willing to follow Chen Jiu to dig soil.

These manpower may not be enough, but it doesn't matter. When I successfully bring the soil back, others will be tempted.

Thinking of this, Chen Jiu didn't say much. After confirming the candidates, he began to allocate tools.

These basic working tools such as shovels and hoes were all obtained from Lin Shuang in exchange for dried meat, and the dried meat was obtained by players using points, so in theory, it was the private property of each player.

But now the number of players is small, and the distinction between the four is not so clear, so there won't be any conflicts because of this.

"Hey, brother, won't you go to the buckwheat field with us?"

Qin Chuan on the side couldn't help but feel strange when he saw Chen Jiu carrying a hoe.

In his opinion, digging in the soil is not as interesting as opening a map.

"I'm not going. Someone has to do this, otherwise the plot won't progress."

Hearing this, Qin Chuan was moved.

When playing games, who doesn’t want to pick interesting tasks to do?

But unfortunately, basically all games have some boring tasks, such as mining, farming, and collecting materials.

In his opinion, these tasks are completely useless. If you don't do them, the progress will not be as good as others; if you do them, it will be really boring.

Now that Chen Jiu is willing to take the initiative to take on this responsibility, he is undoubtedly sacrificing himself to maintain everyone's gaming experience.

"Good brother! Because of your awakening, I will calculate a contribution for you in advance. If there are more players and we start a guild in the future, I will definitely give you priority in rolling out the equipment!"

"Then I'll remember it and give me the title of vice-president when the time comes!"

"It's done!"

Qin Chuan gave a thumbs up, patted the bow and arrow on his back and said:

"You can go with peace of mind and leave the hunting to me. I'll bring you something bigger today!"

".You'd better be careful. You're going with an NPC this time. Be careful not to die in front of her."

"If you die, you will have no choice but to change your face and change your identity. Then all your prestige and favorability points will be cleared for you, which is not worth it."

Chen Jiu kindly reminded.

In fact, logically speaking, the death and resurrection of players is not a problem that is difficult to solve. In addition, Lin Shuang now believes that these people are "remnants of the God Clan", and many things can be attributed to divine power.

But if players are really allowed to squander it unscrupulously, it will not only cause a waste of Shuanghe's energy, but it will also be easy for NPCs to see clues in the future.

So, it's better not to take risks.

"Don't worry, I understand!"

With that said, Qin Chuan turned around and left, ran towards Lin Shuang's position, and went to "trigger the mission" in a hurry.

On Chen Jiu's side, all the refugees were ready. The group carried shovels and rattan frames and walked towards the river bend along the route that had been explored before.

Chen Jiu walked at the front, not only to lead the way, but also to warn.

Although all large prey within two kilometers of the camp have been hunted, this is a real world. Although animals will not refresh, they will move and migrate.

No one can tell whether a wild beast will break into this so-called "safe zone".

So along the way, Chen Jiu maintained a high degree of vigilance, always keeping an eye on the life detection information provided by Shuanghe.

Fortunately, the journey went smoothly. It only took them less than 40 minutes to reach the river bend and found the gray-white high-alumina bauxite with a little yellow mentioned by Chongniang.

"This is it. Let's light the fire first and then dig."

Chen Jiu issued an order and directed the refugees to clear a fire break around the area. Then he spread weeds and dead branches on the ground and lit fires from all directions.

The flames were burning, and the area of ​​the fire was half the size of a basketball court. Lin Wen stood aside and watched this scene, and said to Lin Fang with some emotion:

"Their flint is really useful. It would be great if it could be sold."

"Don't think about it. They only offer dried meat in exchange for it now - it's useless if you want that thing. You might as well exchange for more food."

Lin Wen smiled sheepishly and replied:

"That's all I'm saying. But they have a lot of good things in their hands. I've never seen just the bows in their hands."

"That's true - but for monks like them, nothing is surprising. Do you know what they are digging for this time?"

Looking at the mysterious Lin Fang, Lin Wen subconsciously asked:

"What to do?"

Lin Fang lowered his voice, leaned into Lin Wen's ear and said:

"They want to build a divine furnace!"

"What?!"

Lin Wen had a horrified expression on his face, and then said anxiously:

"Don't talk nonsense! Where did you hear that? How could they build a divine furnace?!"

"It's true! I woke up early this morning and heard the two of them talking over there. Brother Wen, you know, my ears are much better than the average person."

"Although I didn't hear everything they said, it was intermittently, but I definitely heard this sentence correctly. They said they wanted to copy the divine furnace!"

"Let us dig the earth to build a furnace to burn iron, and then use the iron to build the divine furnace!"

Hearing this, Lin Wen froze on the spot.

At this moment, he was surrounded by huge shock, and for a moment he didn't know how to face it.

Yes, those "leaders" are monks, and they may even be strangers, but no matter what, they are all people of Chidi.

And how could the people of Red Earth create God’s creation?

What exactly do they want to do?

He wanted to immediately go find the leader who brought them here to ask questions, but before he could speak, he saw the leader suddenly fall to the ground, and then shouted in a low voice:

"Everyone get down, there's a tiger!"
