For some people whose injuries were serious and difficult to treat, Niu Dan originally wanted to suggest whether they should become infected bodies to receive wave rewards, but after meeting Lao Zhang's serious eyes, he did not dare to ask any more.

"This is the bottom line for us as human beings. If you do it secretly, you are lucky to not be discovered, but if you are discovered, you know the consequences."

If there is a first time, there will be a second time.

Using living people to get rewards is like opening Pandora's box. Once you encounter a dilemma, you will think about it involuntarily.

Lao Zhang naturally knew the consequences of doing this, so he didn't need to be reminded by Sumo and just expressed his attitude first.

Suddenly, the young men shrank their heads and did not dare to have any more ideas.

The guards, who had just had some thoughts, quickly waved their hands and swept their thoughts out of their minds.

The territory is now on the right track of development, and there is no point in doing evil things.

We can't kill all the infected bodies that are regularly spawned outside the territory, so there's no time to catch people and infect them.

Furthermore, what should you do if you are discovered by the golden giant eagle?

In most people's perception, the three major territories would definitely disdain to do this kind of thing, nor would they sit back and watch this kind of thing develop around the territories.

After cleaning the battlefield, some of the people who had minor injuries and could be cured, as well as those who had just come to pretend to surrender, were all tied up.

There were more than twenty people in total, and all of them looked terrified, fearing that they would be turned into infected bodies and used to earn rewards.

Lao Zhang winked, and Niu Dan immediately understood, stepped forward and said loudly:

"Lord Zhang, these people who came to pretend to surrender are also poor people. Their families were taken as hostages by Shi Sheng. See if there are no serious consequences, can you spare their lives?"

"If there are no consequences, can we pretend that nothing happened? How can such a good thing happen in the world?"

Lao Zhang said seriously, "Even if I agree, will the brothers behind me agree?"

"this"

Niu Dan hesitated for a moment, "Now that we are short of manpower for the development of Jushi Territory, is it okay to leave them alive to serve their crimes?"

"Dedicate one's crime to meritorious deeds?"

Sing and harmonize.

The prisoners on the ground were scared to death, and when they heard that they had a chance to survive, they all shouted.

"Boss Zhang, please spare us, we can do anything, we just ask you to spare our lives!"

"Lord Zhang, you have a kind heart. We were also deceived by Shi Sheng. Please forgive us. We are willing to atone for our sins with actions."

"Give me a bite to eat and I'll do whatever you want me to do."

"Yes, yes, I can work. I dig rocks very quickly!"

No one wants to die if there is a possibility of survival.

Niu Dan continued to add at the right time, "Lord Zhang, if that's not possible, please give these people an observation period. If they can really work hard, stay, otherwise they can be killed when the time comes."

"this"

Lao Zhang hesitated for a moment, then nodded heavily.

"Since Niu Dan said so, I am not an unreasonable person. Since you are all bewitched by Shi Sheng, I will give you a chance to make meritorious deeds."

"Thank you, Brother Niu!"

"Thank you, Lord Zhang!"

A group of people immediately kowtowed in gratitude, without even the slightest thought of luck.

The lives of people in the wasteland are worthless. Even if they die, there will be no one to avenge them.

No matter whether you are serving a crime or becoming a slave, as long as you can survive, there is still hope.

"Send the injured people down for treatment first."

Lao Zhang nodded with satisfaction and sent someone to carry the injured person on a stretcher to an empty stone house in the territory.

The importance of population is self-evident now.

These people are still young and strong, and they are the best labor force. It just so happens that the Boulder territory will continue to expand in the future.

There is no shortage of medicines in Jushi now, and he doesn't feel bad at all if he uses them for these people.

"Niudan, you are a smart man, I hope I'm not wrong about you."

After giving all the instructions, Lao Zhang came back with an unfathomable look in his eyes.

At some point, he felt that Niudan's personality was very similar to his own.

It's the kind that's as sure as hell when it's steady, and as bold as if it's crazy when it's wavering.

At first, when he was looking for someone in the village to lead the way up the mountain, after searching around, only Niudan had the courage to take the order.

Even now, the young people still alive in Stone Village at the foot of the mountain are waiting for the outcome of the battle between the Boulder Territory and the Stone Gang.

Only the Niu family brothers dared to take people up the mountain to remind them.

This is the courage that ordinary people do not have, and it is also one of the potentials that must be possessed to rise.

"Lord Zhang, I won't say more. Just watch my performance."

Niu Dan sniffed, replied in a deep voice, opened the game panel and submitted the application to join the territory.

When the reminder to join the boulder territory flashed on the panel, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

No matter what happens next, at least now I have a place to stay.

After entering the village gate.

Everyone looked curiously at this familiar yet unfamiliar place.

They had visited this platform countless times when they were exploring the terrain before. Now, after some construction, the desolate look of that time has completely disappeared.

The smoke rises from the stone houses, bringing with it a hint of calm smoke and smoke that is hard to find in the outside world.

The ground is flat and paved with a layer of bricks and soil. It is soft and soft, not like being on a rocky mountain at all.

Horizontal and vertical drainage channels have also taken shape, and more than a dozen women are carrying burdens and pickaxes to build them according to the drawings.

It's just that most of the stones in Stone Mountain are hard and difficult to dig. A group of people were sweating profusely, and the progress was still extremely slow.

"Let us come, we have the strength!"

When joining a new territory in the wasteland, the best way to integrate is to work and prove your worth.

A group of women wanted to refuse, but when they saw that the people coming were all strong young men, they followed them.

Sure enough, compared to their slow digging speed before, Niu Dan's young and strong speed was simply frighteningly fast.

In the past three or four hours before noon, a main drainage channel had been successfully dug!

"Boys, come here and have a drink!"

"Dinner will be served soon. Come and have a rest first, otherwise you will have diarrhea soon."

"You are still very strong. We have been digging for seven or eight days, and we have only been able to dig out three roads."

"Hey, if you can help me in any way, just ask!"

Even though I was very tired, the warm atmosphere warmed my heart.

Niu Dan raised his head, wiped the hot sweat from his head, and couldn't help but feel glad that he didn't make the wrong choice this time.

Everyone else had the same idea until lunch was served

"It's meat. There is meat in the work meal!"

"Oh my god, this soup is too thick, and there are pancakes. Am I not dreaming?"

"Uh, uh, it's so delicious, it tastes so fragrant!"

When exchanging supplies from the store yesterday, Lao Zhang, at Sumo's suggestion, specially exchanged them for some meat.

It has undoubtedly come in handy now, and a group of young people who have just joined the territory are almost anxious.

By the afternoon.

A group of people were very motivated. After digging the drainage channel, they took turns going down the mountain to collect water, cut firewood, and build defense facilities. The construction speed of the boulder territory suddenly increased several times.

However, Lao Zhang was obviously a little absent-minded. At noon, he still wanted to go over to check the results, and he would go to the mountain road to see if there was anything going on in the afternoon.

"Why haven't you come back yet? It's almost dark!"

Standing on the watchtower at the village gate, Lao Zhang was sweating anxiously.

He was thinking wildly in his mind. One moment he thought about whether the infected body had attacked the team, and the next moment he thought about whether the surrounding territories were trying to conquer the enemy.

In the evening, dusk is approaching.

Just when Lao Zhang had lost count of how many times he had gone down the mountain to look, a loud noise finally came from the foot of the mountain.

He quickly picked up the telescope and looked at the foot of the mountain.

Only seen.

Human heads, densely packed human heads.
