Chapter 70 Only Hard Work Can Change Everything

"My Lord, where are you going again?"

Beside Li Meng, You Lan's voice rang out, with only worry on her face.

Putting away his thoughts, Li Meng looked up at the beautiful face of Sister You beside him, and said: "Sister You, if you want to live in this world and survive better, you must have ambition. The shelter seems to be thriving now, but it can't withstand any hardship. We can't live underground forever. We have to go out and face the threats of nature and the threats of strange beasts boldly. Of course, this is not an easy task, but I will try hard to change all this."

Speaking of this, Li Meng pulled up You Lan's left hand, held it in his hand, and whispered: "Don't worry, with you and Yan'er here, I will live, and I will protect you. I will not let myself die outside, and I will not let myself leave you first."

Facing Li Meng's eyes, You Lan blushed, with only gentleness on her face and tenderness in her eyes.

Xiao Meng has indeed changed, becoming very strange, but the current Xiao Meng makes her feel at ease and warm in her heart.

From Xiao Meng's words and Xiao Meng's eyes, You Lan felt Xiao Meng's care for her and her mother. What kind of feeling is this? You Lan doesn't know, but she likes it very much...

Letting go of Sister You's hand, Li Meng smiled and said, "Go, don't let Yan'er be idle. She is so old and has missed the best age for learning. The time lost before must be made up. The more she knows and the more she understands, the more mature she will become. Although the little girl is cute, people always have to grow up, and the foundation must be laid."

Yes Li Meng said this, You Lan smiled and said unhappily: "If my daughter heard you say this, she might blame you, aren't you afraid that she will hate you?"

Stretching lazily, Li Meng said carelessly: "Yan'er will not hate me, not..."

Seeing Xiao Meng so confident, You Lan shook her head and said helplessly: "I really don't know where your confidence comes from, OK, I will teach her to read now."

As she said, You Lan left the desk and walked towards the door in front of Li Meng, leaving Li Meng with only a beautiful back.

Li Meng did not retract his sight until You Lan left the office and closed the door.

"Huh..."

Take a deep breath, under the reflection of the firelight, Li Meng's expression was thoughtful.

After a while, Li Meng put aside his random thoughts.

With a thought, Li Meng opened the resource page, item page, and map page.

The population is over 10,000, which meets the conditions. The territory of 100 square kilometers also meets the conditions. Only the condition of 1,000 soldiers is not met...

At present, the total strength of Li Meng is 813 people, and there are still 187 soldiers missing. Li Meng can meet all the conditions for promotion to the first-level commander by recruiting 200 soldiers.

After looking at the strength value, Li Meng looked at the resource page again.

Resource points: 14345

Biological resources: 518

Iron resources: 402

Copper resources: 1555

Silver resources: 1235

Water resources: 5338

Fiber resources: 23368

Rubber resources: 1810

...

There are enough resource points, water resources, and fiber resources, but there are no biological resources and iron resources.

Seeing this, Li Meng's face was thoughtful.

It seems that I have to return to Yingjiang Shelter. Although biological resources can be obtained in the moat outside Qing'an Shelter, those bodies are buried under the ice. Even if hundreds of people are sent, too many bodies can't be dug out in a day.

Moreover, digging up corpses is easy to make people talk about it. After all, the dead are the greatest. If there are any rumors, it will be bad.

Compared with the corpses in the moat, the corpses in the snow pit of Yingjiang Shelter are easier to obtain.

As for iron resources, it is easier to obtain them. Just go outside to pick up scraps. Abandoned vehicles and metal objects can be seen everywhere in the city. As long as you are willing to work hard and don’t mind wasting time, you can get as much as you want.

Thinking of this, Li Meng looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It was still early, less than nine o'clock.

Seeing this, Li Meng stood up, put on his helmet, and strode out of the door.

Others are working hard, so he can't be idle. Although it is dangerous outside, this risk still needs to be taken.

"Leading two hundred soldiers, all need archers..."

Walking out of the door, Li Meng's voice reached the ears of the guards.

In the restricted area downstairs, one room after another was opened, and a large number of imperial archers came out, pouring out from the back door of the Governor's Mansion, and lining up in the trading area in front of the gate.

Two hundred soldiers were not many, but not few either. When they lined up in front of the door, they were also a mass of black.

"Let's go..."

Li Meng walked out of the Governor's Mansion and joined the army, saying as he walked.

The army responded and changed their formation, following Li Meng in a row of five.

Compared with a few days ago, the trading area was much more lively. Although after Li Meng came to power, the trading area was a little unworthy of its name. After all, the system had changed, and the survivors no longer needed to trade for the materials they needed, so the trading area was naturally unnecessary.

Once there were more people, even if most people liked to stay in their rooms, there would always be some people who would hang out outside, gather in groups of three or two, communicate, talk, and kill a boring day.

It was already late, and at this time, in the underground logistics, the transport team that was supposed to set off had already set off.

When Li Meng led the army into the underground logistics, the logistics was empty, and only the ding-dong sound was heard in the warehouse area on the left. There was a furnace, a place for iron smelting and forging. The iron spears in the shelter and some other ironware all came from there. Before Li Meng came to power, they were controlled by a group of blacksmiths. Now they are nationalized.

Without stopping at the logistics, Li Meng led the army to leave the underground logistics.

As soon as he left the logistics, a cold blew on the snow outside, and the cold air made Li Meng shiver.

Today's weather is very good, the sky is dark, at least it is not snowing. In this era, weather without snow is good weather, a day to travel.

Today's destination is clear. There is no need to go to the coal terminal and make another circle. Just go straight to the northwest and you can reach Yingjiang Shelter in the shortest time.

In three days, the transport team will set off. Today, Li Meng's purpose is not only to find the bodies in the corpse pit, but also to go to Yingjiang Shelter to explore it first.

Check whether there are any strange beasts in the surrounding ruins, and check whether there are any strange beasts in the Yingjiang Shelter.

Qing'an Shelter is a day's journey from Yingjiang Shelter. After the transport team arrives at the Food City, they must spend a night outside. They cannot spend the night in the Food City because the environment in the Food City is not closed and cannot block the cold wind. The most ideal place to stay is the Yingjiang Shelter.

If there are strange beasts hidden in the Yingjiang Shelter, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for the transport team.

Although the transport team is escorted by the army, emergencies will inevitably cause casualties, and what Li Meng has to do is to avoid such things from happening.
