151: Chapter 145 Starfire City

Chapter 145 Spark City

The Farm Owner Manor had already been simply tidied up by Dong Hu and his men.

Although the heavy dust had not been completely swept away and the broken areas were too late to be repaired, at least there was already a place to stay.

Beside the dining table in the kitchen, Wang Ting and the others sat around it.

On the table were the rough sketches of various areas of the first Floor World simply circled and drawn by Feng Bo and Dong Hu, as well as the orientation map of this Infinite Building and the Outpost Camp.

"The Floor World of the first floor will be called Scarecrow Manor, and the second floor will be called the Mobile Barn."

"It can now be confirmed that the two discovered floors are both habitable floors, and their total area is several times that of the Scarecrow Farm floor."

"A preliminary estimate is that if all of them are reclaimed to form farmland, about thirty to forty thousand mu of farmland and corresponding animal husbandry areas can be cultivated."

Hearing the estimated number of tens of thousands of mu of farmland, everyone could not help but hold their breath slightly, and joy appeared on their faces.

As long as the yield could reach more than three hundred catties per mu, then one mu of field could support one person, and this was calculated based on a year.

If multiple seasons could be reclaimed, the number of people who could be supported would double.

Although the engineering volume of reclaiming tens of thousands of mu of farmland could not be completed overnight, the habitable floors were right here, and they always had time to slowly complete it.

Wang Ting took in everyone's expressions and directly instructed, "You understand the importance of the habitable floors better than I do. Since that is the case, the focus of the camp needs to be adjusted."

He paused slightly, and then said resolutely, "We are going to build a new town here, and from now on, this place will be our base camp."

A burst of sharp light erupted in everyone's eyes, and Xiang Nan immediately raised his hand in agreement.

"I agree, Boss is wise!"

"Agreed."

"This place is more suitable than the Outpost Camp."

The strategic position of the habitable floors was simply too important.

Even if Wang Ting didn't mention it, they would probably have suggested it at the first opportunity after things stabilized.

Xiang Nan suddenly asked, "What is this city called?"

Everyone was slightly stunned, and Wang Ting was also stunned by this question.

He showed a thoughtful expression, and after a brief thought, two words came out of his mouth: "Spark."

Ever since transmigrating to the apocalyptic era until now, Wang Ting found that he had always been running around in a hurry just to survive.

Even the Outpost Camp had a name that felt like a hurried passerby, without any deep meaning at all, simply continuing Scarecrow Town's designation for the camp.

But now, when Xiang Nan asked what the new city about to be established was called, scenes from his past life flashed back in his mind several times.

His thoughts also slowed down at this moment, and in a trance, a sentence emerged in his mind: A single spark can start a prairie fire.

Spark was both hope and the light of solidarity gathering together.

Since he had said that he would live well in this apocalyptic era and give his followers a better choice, then the name of this new city should be Spark.

A flash of confident light flickered in Wang Ting's eyes, and his expression revealed firmness.

"Dong Hu, you go to the Outpost Camp and pull over all the labor force needed to build the city."

"The original engineering team, ordinary residents, and newly gathered wanderers—bring them all over together."

"The initial Spark City must be able to accommodate two to three thousand people to live in at least."

"Build the city walls first, and then gradually expand them later."

"The timber for building houses can be taken from this piece of forest; these quantities should be enough for you to use."

Dong Hu was infected by Wang Ting's aura.

Personally building a city belonging to them was inherently an exciting and belonging-filled matter.

"Seventy people can be pulled out from the construction team of the Outpost Camp."

"Ask Old Ren and the others directly for lumberjacks, and pull twenty people straight over."

"There are quite a few able-bodied young adults among the first batch of wanderers we gathered."

"They have also stayed in the Quarantine Camp District 1 for a period of time, so they can be pulled out and used directly."

"Then there are the people from the Three Wolves Gang—"

Bai Shou stood up and immediately replied, "I'll go do the work on the people from the Three Wolves Gang."

"Seeing our batch joining the Militia Team, their hearts have long wavered."

"Xiong Yuan and I will work on them, and I guarantee they will be utterly obedient and dare not harbor rebellious intentions again."

Wang Ting nodded.

In this way, Dong Hu and the others could at least pull out a construction team of about two hundred people.

With two hundred people building the earthen walls together, the speed would definitely be much faster than when the Outpost Camp was initially built.

"For the initial city wall, I don't demand how high it should be; it's fine as long as it's temporarily sufficient, but it must be completed as soon as possible."

"Later on, I have a way to make the city walls you build rammed solidly and hard."

Hearing Wang Ting's promise, a burst of sharp light erupted in the eyes of Dong Hu, Bai Shou, and the others.

They still had fresh memories of the power of the Wall of Thousand Vines.

Since Wang Ting made such a promise, he probably had even more miraculous creations in his hands.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission."

Wang Ting looked at Feng Bo.

Feng Bo straightened his body slightly, holding his head high and chest out; he knew his mission was coming.

"The people of the Guard Team and the Militia Team will be left to you to command."

"Allocate half of the people to guard the Outpost Camp well, and the remaining half will be responsible for the escort of supplies and the pioneering exploration work of the Scarecrow Manor floor."

"Understood, guaranteed to complete the mission."

"Bring out a batch of people as soon as possible."

"Xiang Nan, Xu Yan, your batch of first-time limit-breakers will all go to the Tyrant Arena."

"At the same time, I approve a quota of ten thousand contribution points; I want you to break through the second limit-breaking as soon as possible."

"Dong Hu, Ren Chuan, Bai Shou, once you have polished your bodies well, I will help you break through to become Transcendents."

If Spark City wanted to be established and possess sufficient power, it needed a batch of powerful guardians in terms of combat strength.

Whether it was the corpse vine blood tree, the Tyrant Arena, or the extraordinary potion prepared just in case, they were all prepared to strengthen his subordinates.

"As for logistics, it will be mainly managed by Ren Chuan."

"You guys tell him the news here, and he will know how to mobilize supplies."

Wang Ting quickly assigned the tasks: Dong Hu was responsible for construction, Feng Bo was responsible for exploration and guarding, and Ren Chuan continued to be responsible for logistics scheduling.

The few of them had already accumulated quite rich experience since the initial establishment of the Outpost Camp.

At this time, after receiving the tasks from Wang Ting, they immediately and efficiently scheduled the people under their hands and began to push forward various tasks one by one.

By the afternoon, the first batch of supplies had already been transported to Spark City through Ren Chuan's arrangements.

Tents, food, and a large labor force were all piled up in front of the Infinite Building.

The coming members of the construction team each held construction tools in their hands, and as soon as they arrived, they began to locate the foundations for Spark City.

A small city of two to three thousand people actually had an area equivalent to a large middle school.

The total length of the surrounding walls was around seven hundred meters, roughly with each wall being about one hundred and seventy meters long.

They took out the stakes, nailed them directly into the positioned locations, and then dug the foundation pits along the marked positions, preparing to start directly ramming the earthen walls after the wooden forms were ready.

Thanks to the Floor World being a habitable floor, the degree of danger of settling inside was not high.

A quite large portion of the tents were not built outside the Floor World, but were established nearby within the Scarecrow Manor floor.

Trucks shuttled back and forth, and by the time evening approached, the supplies on Spark City's side had been completely transported, which was enough to complete the preliminary construction of the first stage.

At this time, the number of people in Spark City had reached more than two hundred.

The sky gradually dimmed, twenty to thirty tents were neatly lined up, wisps of cooking smoke rose, and the firelight of the bonfire illuminated everyone's faces.

"One bowl per person, the rice is in the big pot on the left hand, and the meat soup is in the pot on the right hand. Come one by one."

"Team Leader Ren said that in a couple of days, a batch of fresh fish will be procured from Fisherman Town, and fish soup can be boiled to drink by then."

Li Chunhua, who was in charge of the ladle, held a big spoon and scooped turbid meat soup for the approaching residents one after another.

The meat soup was actually a stew.

Part of it was fresh meat searched out from Vine Town, weighing only about two or three catties, and more of it was meat opened from canned meat.

Put into the pot and boiled with a little bit of oil floating on top, the fragrance of the meat soup rushed into the nostrils.

Such meat soup naturally could not compare to the soups boiled with fresh ingredients in Wang Ting's past life.

But in the apocalyptic era, such meat soup was simply a feast.

Even after working hurriedly and laboring for a day, just looking at the rice in the bowl and a bowl of meat soup, the residents of the town were filled with hope and joy in their hearts.

They had all heard that the leader was going to build a Spark City around the Infinite Building of this habitable floor.

By that time, the city walls would be higher than those of the Outpost Camp, the houses would be better than those of the Outpost Camp, and they would all live inside.

There were a few bits of yearning in the whispered chatter of the town residents.

Wang Ting also sat beside the bonfire, listening to Feng Bo briefly report on the content of today's exploration.

After killing most of the Scarecrows and Rot Soil Hounds, Feng Bo locked his gaze on the forest area.

Construction required a large amount of timber, and timber was extremely laborious to transport out from the middle of the vines of the Outpost Camp, so he had to pioneer the forest here a step ahead.

The number of Rot Soil Hounds and Scarecrows in the forest was relatively small.

Occasionally, monsters rushed out, but they were also forcefully suppressed by Feng Bo.

In the afternoon, he had arranged for the lumberjack team to be in place.

At this time, quite a few large trees had already been felled, and tomorrow these trees could become templates to be used for building city walls.

"According to this speed, to build the city walls, it will take at least a month at the fastest."

Dong Hu and the others' actions were not slow, but given the current progress, Wang Ting was somewhat worried about whether the abnormal riot in Zombie Town would affect this place, and whether the abnormal sandstorm that already showed signs would spread here.

He frowned slightly, called Dong Hu over, and stated his concerns.

After hearing this, Dong Hu's brows furrowed even deeper.

"Then we can only work in two shifts starting tomorrow."

"There is still a batch of wanderers at the outpost."

"Although they were just taken in not long ago, they can also be used."

"It's just that we need to pay attention to suppressing them and not give them a chance to cause trouble."

"How much can the number of people working increase to?"

"Excluding the people staying behind to guard the Outpost Camp, the two batches of wanderers total five to six hundred people."

"Those who can be drawn over to build the city walls can reach four hundred people, but our management pressure will be very high with all sorts of people mixed together."

Wang Ting's eyes revealed a trace of cold light: "Those who refuse to accept management, let them suffer a bit. We are not nice guys."

"Understood."

After brief instructions, Wang Ting settled his mind slightly, and his gaze fell on today's harvest.

[ Collector: Wang Ting ]

[ Life Rank: Tier 1 ]

[ monster points: 3018 points ]

[ Recorded Monsters: Scarecrow—Pig-headed Farmer, Sickle-wielding Scarecrow, Faceless Farmer ]

"It's enough to redeem the Hive City."

Wang Ting's eyes narrowed slightly, and the brief introduction of the Hive City appeared before his eyes.

[ Hive City (Creation): Flesh and blood as the nest, spider silk as the bone. After absorbing flesh and blood, the Hive City will form flesh soil around it, possessing both soil and flesh-and-blood characteristics. Mixing flesh soil to form buildings can assimilate secondary flesh soil, becoming branches of the Hive City, possessing the primary characteristics of shaping, solidifying, and self-healing. Influence range 3000 meters—3000 monster points ]
