Survival for all: I, the creator of the halo.

Chapter 184 Another ancient ruins
"At the same time, the four former subjects under you will assist you in jointly managing the city. Their treatment will be the same as that of the official staff of other academies except the Military Academy. At the same time, they will be upgraded to third-circle subjects and enjoy the treatment of second-circle subjects. One month, and if you perform well within three months, you will be upgraded to a second-level citizen."

The setting up of the sub-ring citizens was not just a whim of Ning Ze. He had also thought about many things regarding the title of the citizens.

For example, being a territorial citizen in several circles is actually equivalent to the ancient title system. Its general function is to represent its identity and can distinguish many territorial citizens, but its more substantial role is to protect basic welfare benefits.

For example, most of the citizens in the territory are currently unable to join various departments, so the only things they need to work on every day are to go out to collect supplies or build various buildings in the territory.

There is no salary for this type of work, so daily living needs must be maintained by the benefits of the title.

As for a third-circle citizen and a second-circle citizen, when they both go out to collect supplies, it is obvious that the daily material benefits of the second-circle citizen are more generous.

In addition, the title of the subject can also have certain priority when joining various departments, and when the subsequent allocation of housing and land, the level of the title will also determine the quality of the housing and land that can be allocated. Bad size.

The subordinate titles of subjects will also affect the benefits in this area. However, the various benefits are the same as those of the primary titles, but they will affect the priority. For example, when allocating housing and land, it is often the subjects of the primary titles. Priority is given to selection, while the selection of subordinate subjects is deferred.

These will be realized one by one in the follow-up plans. Now, as a lord with hundreds of people, Ning Ze is not so stingy. He has never said that he is reluctant to eat meat and even give soup to his subjects.

No matter how large the territory is, it cannot maintain a normal and reasonably functioning society. It is nothing more than a dead city. What he pursues is not just to be a local emperor.

Wang Zhi couldn't understand Ning Ze's words, but he also heard some flavor from his words. However, he did not continue to ask. He could only wait until he had the opportunity to find out more clearly.

Soon, the fence and the crossbow bed were built. When the 20-meter-long stone fence was built, some people were amazed.

"Hiss~ This wall seems to be made of stone?"

"Let me go, it's really a stone wall. Looking at its thickness, it can't be penetrated even by a few shells."

"How many stones did it take to make our new lord so rich?"

"And those things set up on the walls, they look like crossbows, right? But how big can a crossbow be?"

"Why does it look like a crossbow bed to me? It's a big killing weapon in ancient wars. One arrow can shoot out a path of blood."

"."

There was constant discussion among the crowd. How had these more than 30 people who had just joined the territory seen such a formation?

After all, Wang Zhi's territory used to have only a wooden fence with a height of just over two meters, but this newly built stone fence is five meters high, which is almost equivalent to the height of a two-story building. A very reassuring sense of security.

However, the soldiers of the combat team looked at these people with great disdain. Some even couldn't help but joked: "How big is this? The wall on the other side of the big territory is ten times longer than this. Compared with the big territory, , this place is not even a village.”

His words immediately aroused the exclamation of many people, but they also attracted Wang Xu's gaze.

The soldier knew that he had neglected discipline and immediately chose to shut up and not continue talking. However, Wang Xu still stared at him. Later, the captain of the first combat team, Xu Shan, stood up and came to the soldier. He said to him coldly: "During evening training, you can practice for two extra hours."

As soon as he heard this, the soldier's face suddenly turned the color of bitter gourd. The soldiers themselves have to train from 06:30 to 10:30 every day, and then train for another two hours, which means that after midnight, Although he would sleep less than two hours, he did not dare to refute anything, because it was during the execution of a mission, and it was his duty to obey orders as a member of the combat team.

However, the soldier's words still aroused heated discussions among many people, especially Wang Zhi, who felt very uneasy at this time.

The length of the wall on the other side of the large territory is ten times longer than here, which means that one side of the wall alone is 200 meters long.

"My dear, even if this is a city, I still believe it!"

One of his men beside him couldn't help but sigh: "If you can live in this kind of territory, I don't have to worry about monster attacks when you sleep at night. I wonder if we have a chance to take a look?"

Ning Ze's hearing was so sharp that he heard this sentence word for word. He immediately said: "The two territories can come and go with each other, but it is not casual. It can only be done when the mission requires it or at night. Just rest time.”

An anchor point center has been set up between the two territories. It only takes one thought and ten seconds to travel hundreds of kilometers to the other territory. He has no restrictions on this, just to prevent the two territories from The people between the territories were too curious and would pass the news around if anything happened, so some rules were added.

After hearing these words, Wang Zhi and others suddenly had a lot of thoughts, especially Wang Zhi. He would find an opportunity to take a look at the big territory at night no matter what.

But at this moment, Ning Ze suddenly asked: "By the way, you said before that these people all escaped from an ancient ruins. Where is that ancient ruins?"

Now that we have all come here, there are no ancient ruins to explore anymore, so I just went to take a look.

Wang Xu also remembered this incident and immediately said: "Returning to the lord, my subordinates actually don't know the specific location of the ancient ruins, but these people should know."

Ning Ze nodded, and then Wang Zhi signaled to a subordinate next to him. The subordinate immediately stood up, but when he saw Ning Ze, he didn't know what to salute.

Ning Ze still couldn't laugh or cry and said, "It's okay to just say it. There won't be so much red tape."

The citizen immediately said: "Lord, the ancient ruins you asked about are not far from here, about thirty or forty kilometers away. When the first group of us came over, there were more than ten people in total. Coming from that ancient ruins site, we were originally the subjects of other lords, but for some reason, while exploring the basement of the ancient ruins site, we were suddenly attacked by mysterious people."

"Because we couldn't see the situation clearly in the dark, we were all dispersed. We were lucky enough to escape, and those who came later must have come from that ancient ruins. "

Even if Ning Ze had not heard about these things with his own ears, he could still make a rough guess. But what surprised him was that this ancient ruins was only thirty or forty kilometers away from here. But on the map in his mind There is no marked ancient ruins within 70 kilometers around here, and the nearest ancient ruins are more than [-] kilometers away.

"Where is the location of that ancient ruins?" he asked.Relying on his memory, the citizen pointed out a direction.

Wang Zhi also said: "The direction should be correct. My subordinates did see them coming from this direction."

But Ning Ze was even more confused, because on the marked map in his mind, there were indeed ancient ruins in this direction, but the nearest one was more than 150 kilometers away.

These people may not be able to calculate the distance between the two places, and there will be some cognitive deviations, but the deviation is more than 100 kilometers, which is really impossible. After all, this distance is very important for normal traveling speed in heavy rain. Generally speaking, it will take almost two days to arrive.

Ning Ze frowned and asked again: "How many people were exploring the ancient ruins where you were before?"

The citizen recalled for a while, and then said: "The specific number of people should be three to four hundred, or even more. After all, I don't pay much attention to this aspect, so I can only make a rough estimate. And among these people, several of them are It’s a big lord with 400, 40, [-] people, and the villain used to live under one of the lords.”

Ning Ze's doubts deepened: "Being able to gather so many players must have come after seeing the marked point on the map. But now the marked point of this ancient ruins cannot be seen on the map. It should be due to some reason later. Is Ancient Canceled?”

He probably had some guesses in his mind, and therefore realized that the marked map of ancient ruins did not mark all ancient ruins. On the contrary, there may be some ancient ruins that have not been discovered.

"By the way, Lord, if you want to go to that ancient ruins now, I'm afraid you need to cross the river." The citizen suddenly reminded.

Ning Ze asked: "Then how did you get here before?"

He said: "When the little man was crossing the river, because the river was not so fast at that time, and there were not many people in our group, he immediately swam over with a few pieces of wood in his arms."

"But in the past two days, the river water became much more rapid and the river surface widened a lot. Moreover, those who followed made rafts before they could successfully cross the river."

Ning Ze was a little surprised this time. He looked at the newly recruited citizens and asked, "Oh? Is there anyone among you who can make rafts?"

Making rafts is not an advanced skill, but Ning Ze currently has no one with experience in making rafts. Although he can use anchor points to send people across the river, someone needs to want to cross the river to set up the anchor points. .

Soon, a middle-aged man who was not too tall was pushed out.

He didn't expect to be pushed out at this time, but the lord had already noticed him, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Lord, it was the raft made by the villain that allowed everyone to cross the river smoothly."

"Okay, do you still have the raft you made before?" Ning Ze asked.

The other party said somewhat implicitly: "To tell you, Lord, the raft was later dismantled by us."

He had heard of people crossing a river to dismantle a bridge, but he had never seen anyone crossing a river to dismantle a boat. But the raft had already been dismantled, so he had no choice but to ask: "How long will it take you to rebuild a raft that can allow people to cross the river smoothly? Remember? To live, just let one person cross the river.”

What's the use of asking a man to cross a river?

He suddenly felt a little confused, but he still said: "It will take about half an hour."

"Okay, then I'll give you half an hour to make a raft for crossing the river immediately. Just tell me what materials you need." Ning Ze agreed immediately.

After finishing speaking, he asked again: "By the way, what did you do before?"

The sudden change of words made the man startled for a moment, and he couldn't tell what period the lord was specifically asking about.

After thinking for a while, he still responded: "To tell you what the lord is saying, I used to work in a shipyard in Blue Star."

Ning Ze said unexpectedly: "So, you can build a ship?"

The middle-aged man said with some lack of confidence: "The villain can indeed build ships, but only a little bit. If the lord asks the villain to build a ship with a large displacement, then the villain will definitely not be able to build it. After all, medium and large ships are not the same." Man can make it.”

His words were very conservative, but they also made Ning Ze realize that this person might be a talent.

The occurrence of this heavy rain will inevitably change some terrain features. When rivers and lakes appear, boats will inevitably be needed. Not to mention that he has also obtained some information about the ocean, so boats will also be a necessity in the future. .

But for some reason, no one among his subjects knew how to make ships. Although there were many craftsmen in the workshop who could make weapons and agricultural tools, it was still a bit difficult for them to build ships. If you want to start from scratch, it will take a lot of time.

But whether the person in front of him is a talent or not remains to be seen.

Afterwards, the middle-aged man immediately went to prepare for the boat building. It was not difficult to make a raft. Even primitive savages were able to build a raft after trying for a while.

But what Ningze currently lacks most is time. At the same time, building a raft and whether it will be useful are two different things.

If a group of laymen are asked to build a raft, although they can build a decent raft, but if used in such a fast river, I am afraid it will fall apart soon after it is launched. If it is an experienced boat builder, If the craftsmanship is done, then the manufactured raft will last for several years without any problem.

Not long after, the middle-aged man had already built the raft. The appearance of the raft looked very crude. After all, it was only a work completed in less than half an hour. If you want to look good, it will not look good.

Ning Ze was most concerned about practicality. He carefully observed the raft and found that some of the hemp ropes used on it were connected in an unusual way. The arrangement of the wood looked rough. , but after being arranged, they appear to be very solid.
