Chapter 299 Upgrade, Level 3 Shelter!
"What's the outside world like now?"
"A chaotic dance of demons, with wars breaking out everywhere!"
After lunch, Li Tianran had a brief conversation with Qin Yiming, revealing that the outside world was in utter chaos.
Beast tides, bandits, and violent gangs were all launching wars like madmen.
"Boss, under these circumstances, are we still leaving Nancheng?" Qin Yiming asked in a low voice.
Li Tianran nodded: "Nancheng doesn't have the vast resources we'll need in the future. Venturing out is dangerous, but it also presents huge opportunities."
In 35 hours, the farm's points would reach twenty million.
At that time, the shelter would be upgraded, and Li Tianran would lead everyone away from Nancheng.
No one voiced any objections.
In fact, no one dared to oppose Li Tianran.
Although Li Tianran usually seemed approachable, both Ding Lu and Tang Su knew how dictatorial he was. Once he made a decision, it wouldn't be changed!
And most importantly, so far, Li Tianran's decisions had rarely been wrong.
"Where is your target destination?" Qin Yiming asked.
Before him and Li Tianran was a precise electronic map.
Li Tianran closed his eyes, and after a moment of silence, pointed to a location on the electronic map.
"Here!"
Kuangxi Island!
This was an island located in the East Ocean Strait, belonging to the Cape Country.
Twenty days ago, a war broke out within Cape Country, with warlords fighting each other and a large number of combat personnel being lost.
Five days ago, a beast tide landed in Cape Country, destroying the nation with lightning speed.
Kuangxi Island was not a key military area, so the beast tide did not stay on the island for too long, quickly retreating and leaving behind a cleansed land.
"That's a ruin..." Qin Yiming scratched his head and said.
"Nonsense, if New York wasn't a ruin, we wouldn't even be able to get in!" Li Tianran said expressionlessly: "It's precisely because this place was attacked by the beast tide that it created excellent entry conditions for us. Otherwise, if we wanted to occupy Kuangxi Island, we would have to fight the garrison troops for hundreds of rounds first."
Qin Yiming fell silent.
Li Tianran's idea was very simple, they were currently aiming to seize opportunities and develop steadily. Kuangxi Island was located in a remote area, and according to the information in Song Zhibin's brain, Kuangxi Island had a large amount of undiscovered iron ore!
This was what Li Tianran needed most.
In his eyes, these mines were piles of points.
"I understand, I will create a suitable integrated offensive and defensive construction plan as soon as possible, based on the terrain of Kuangxi Island." Qin Yiming nodded.
...
Lu Chi held a hunting rifle, hiding silently in the ruins like a stone, his gaze fixed on the former site of the hospital ahead.
The group led by Ma Xiao was using the hospital site as their center, hiding within it.
"The other side has six people... but they eliminated a gang of twenty-two bandits, their combat power is definitely extraordinary." Lu Chi thought about the information Li Tianran had told him, silently calculating how he should act.
Although he had killed many bandits during this period, he knew very well that the people he had killed mainly relied on disguise, gaining the other party's trust and then launching a sneak attack.
His appearance and build were indeed very deceptive.
But this method would not work on Ma Xiao.
This person was cunning and ruthless, and the people around him had been the same five from the beginning. In all this time, they had not accepted a single newcomer!
The possibility of infiltrating the other party's gang through disguise was zero.
Then there was only one method left.
One word.
Fight!
...
Time sometimes passed very slowly, and sometimes very quickly.
More than thirty hours passed peacefully.
Li Tianran sat quietly by the fish pond, enjoying a rare moment of tranquility, fishing.
There were only a few minutes left until the last harvest of crops.
Everyone was waiting.
Everyone knew that once they left Nancheng, they would face more challenges and greater dangers.
They didn't know if they would be able to enjoy such a comfortable life again in the future.
Li Tianran believed they could understand the necessity of his actions.
Temporarily leaving comfort was so they could better enjoy more comfort in the future...
This was the path the farm's development had to take.
Splash!
A two-jin grass carp took the bait, was pulled out of the water, and struggled desperately in Li Tianran's palm.
Li Tianran grabbed it, smiled, and threw it towards the white cat squatting not far away.
The white cat cautiously glanced at Li Tianran, picked up the grass carp that was jumping on the ground, and ran to Xiao Hei, who was dozing off at the base of the wall, excitedly wanting to share it.
"Actually, sometimes I'm quite envious of the two of them, they don't have to worry about their future fate, they just follow people wherever they go... Having a brain and not using it, that's the life!" Tang Su walked over, watching the dog and cat playing at the base of the wall, and said with some emotion: "We're different, following a boss like you, we're always on edge, not living a good comfortable life, but running to the chaotic world outside to become independent warlords..."
"Did you drink too much dichlorvos?" Li Tianran scolded mercilessly: "What does a woman know!"
"Hehe, maybe I really don't understand the world situation, or the development of power..." Tang Su sat cross-legged next to Li Tianran, propped her chin with one hand, and tilted her head to look at Li Tianran's profile: "But I know one thing, if we continue to get along, one day, you won't be able to bring yourself to hurt me."
"Are you overestimating yourself and underestimating me?" Li Tianran chuckled: "Women will only affect the speed of my draw!"
"What I like to do most is nip them in the bud!"
Tang Su laughed and said, "You're so rough! I love it!"
Li Tianran raised his eyebrows, glanced at Tang Su in surprise, and after a moment of silence, moved his small stool half a meter to the side.
"You might not believe it... since the world changed, the time I've spent at the farm has been the most relaxed and comfortable, I feel like I'm truly living like a person, I'm already very satisfied." Tang Su looked calmly at the surface of the fish pond and smiled: "So even if you want to use my life to achieve some purpose in the future, I won't resent you."
Li Tianran said expressionlessly, "Can I take this as you using a tactic of passive aggression, trying to move me with this self-sacrificing attitude and change my strategy towards you?"
"Hehe, think whatever you want." Tang Su blinked, stood up and walked away: "I really like this place! I hope it can continue to exist! At least being with you... makes me feel very happy, and this kind of happiness is something I've never had in my life."
Li Tianran watched Tang Su's departing figure, and after a long time, he chuckled: "The performance was pretty good! It's even more sentimental than *The Voice of China*..."
Ding!
Just as Li Tianran finished speaking, a crisp notification sound rang in his ears.
"Your lv3 potato has matured and is being harvested!"
"You have obtained lv3 potato..."
"You have recycled..."
"You have obtained points..."
"Current points: 20080000!"
"The upgrade requirements for the lv3 shelter have been met. Do you want to upgrade?"
A series of prompt interfaces appeared in front of Li Tianran. Li Tianran took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Start upgrading!"
