Buzz.

The stone bell in the center of the platform on the first floor of Tianzhai was rung, indicating the official start of a new day.

The small size of the Boulder Territory is also an advantage.

The new survivors who joined last night have quickly integrated in, and have been assigned some responsibilities and a job that allows them to get two meals.

"So many people have joined at once. Fortunately, we have saved a lot of fresh water in the past few days. We can barely sustain it for another two or three days until we can open up the road to fetch water."

In the stone house with the lord's sign, a middle-aged man wearing simple linen clothes pushed up his glasses and spoke clearly.

The man’s name is ‘Lu Ding’.

On earth, he is an accountant of a large company, proficient in account management, and also proficient in the ways of the world.

Lao Zhang promoted Lu Ding to become the material manager of the Great Stone Territory. Facts have proved that this choice was correct.

Although the number of people in the territory has now increased to nearly a thousand, Lu Ding is still able to handle the entry and exit of every material in an orderly manner.

"Food is not in short supply at the moment. In addition to what Mr. Ji brought to trade, according to our current planned consumption, we can last at least forty days until the autumn harvest comes."

"But this must be based on the fact that we will not expand the scale in the future. If there are hundreds of people like yesterday, these supplies may only be enough for a week or two, and we must continue to seek transactions with outsiders."

"As the population increases in construction and development, more stone houses must be built, and some public facilities are also needed to provide services. Our current plan is to build the roads up and down the mountain first, so that there will be less communication with the outside world.

There are a lot of troubles. Then there is the problem of residential buildings. The current stone houses are a bit crowded and some need to be expanded. These arrangements may be a bit crowded in Tianzhai."

"Why is it so troublesome?"

Lu Ding kept talking, and before he got to the point, Lao Zhang interrupted him with a headache.

Is the lord of Hoshino Territory as troublesome as him?

Every day it's either something difficult to handle, something else isn't available, or something else is urgently needed.

With a flick of his sleeve, he didn't care about the life or death of the people in his territory, and lived a happy life.

"According to what you said, can't the current problems be summed up into one thing?"

"Not enough supplies?"

"If you want to say that, Lord, that's fine." Lu Ding thought for a moment and nodded.

If there are enough supplies, all difficulties will not be difficult.

As long as the surrounding trading lines are not cut off, the Boulder Territory will not encounter a development bottleneck.

But having said that, there will always be a clear upper limit on drug transactions.

The survivors' demand for medicine will continue to decrease as the route level increases.

Especially when the human body's physique is strengthened to a certain extent, many minor illnesses and disasters will never occur again.

At this time, without the supplies obtained from trading medicines, the Boulder Territory will soon decline.

The decline will not stop until population consumption is proportional to income.

"It will be easier to solve these problems if they are turned into one problem. Don't worry, I will go there later."

Lao Zhang thought for a while and relaxed.

He couldn't solve the problem raised by Lu Ding, but what if Boss Ji had a solution?

Previously, the construction of the Boulder Territory relied on the initial materials provided by Boss Ji.

The current development depends on the pharmaceutical method given by Boss Ji in the book.

so.

"Lord, Sir Ji has something to ask you. Do you want to go over now?"

"Do you think this solves the problem?"

Lao Zhang stood up happily and patted Lu Ding on the shoulder.

"Let's go, come with me."

Lu Ding pursed his lips.

I always feel weird in my heart.

The Boulder territory is completely different from other places from top to bottom, especially compared with his previous territory.

There are no cumbersome rules here, and the activities of the residents are strictly controlled for fear that someone will have breakfast.

There is no discrimination against survivors here. As long as they can work, everyone is treated equally.

Lao Zhang never hid the materials piled in the warehouse, nor did he embezzle them.

One is one, two is two.

Even now that he is being shouted around by his subordinates, Lao Zhang has no airs and is actually very happy.

What does he want to do as a lord?

Until now, Lu Ding still hasn't figured this out. Lao Zhang's behavior doesn't look like a lord at all.

The two of them went out one after the other.

The village was bustling with people at this time, and it seemed much more lively than the previous few days.

Hundreds of people crowded into the open space, receiving today's tasks according to the work schedule arranged yesterday.

The person in charge of this task is Luo You. To him, this little thing is as easy as eating and drinking.

Arriving in front of Somo's stone house, Lao Zhang was about to knock on the door when he saw Somo walking out from behind the house.

He also carried a wooden bucket in his hand.

Wow.

The white groundwater rippled back and forth in the bucket, and from time to time water splashed from the edge of the bucket and fell to the ground.

"Oh, Mr. Ji, if you want water, just arrange for someone to go there. Why do you have to fetch water yourself?"

Lao Zhang quickly stepped forward and took the bucket from Somo's hand.

Not to mention, the portion is quite heavy.

"This is the first bucket of water. You can have it boiled and tasted to see if it needs to be filtered."

"The first bucket of water?"

Lao Zhang was confused for a moment, "The water in the reservoir is clean, so there shouldn't be any need."

"I brought this up from the well, not the reservoir."

"Ah?" Lao Zhang didn't understand.

But when he saw Somo walking towards the back of the house, he didn't hesitate. He handed the bucket to Lu Ding and quickly followed Somo's footsteps.

From the well?

Why didn't he know there was a well in the village?

However, when he came to the back of the house and saw the huge wellhead and the water intake structure that exuded a metallic luster, Lao Zhang was dumbfounded!

He almost thought he was dreaming!

The height of this stone mountain is at least more than 500 meters. Both the top and the foot of the mountain are made of stone.

If you want to draw water here, you need to drill the well down to a depth of several hundred meters.

What kind of project quantity is this?

Stone Mountain is not a mountain of earth. During the drilling process, the structure may be damaged at any time, causing collapse and blockage.

If you really have this skill, it would be enough to connect a water pipe directly from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, so why bother?

Snap.

Behind Lao Zhang, there was the sound of a bucket falling to the ground. The white water splashed out of the bucket and flowed on the ground wantonly.

Looking at the mechanical water well that suddenly appeared on the ground, Lu Ding had an incredible look in his eyes, and his mouth couldn't help but open wide.

He can guarantee it.

Yesterday, no, last night!

Last night at dinner time, he came here to ask Sumo and Luo You to have dinner.

here.

There is absolutely no such well here!

"Boss Ji Ji, how did this come about?" Lao Zhang lay at the mouth of the well, glanced down, and his breathing became extremely rapid.

The shaft is bottomless, and there are only a few atomic lamps embedded in the stones on the lower walls of the shaft, which bring a gleam of cold light, allowing people to barely see the working structure of the well.

"There is water in the mountains, and this well is a reward I redeemed from the game."

Sumo's words were concise and to the point, and he directly put all the blame on the game.

There's no way to get into this kind of thing anyway, so I can't just go directly to the game and ask what's going on.
