- #174 - Chapter 174 City Construction and Land Development
Just by simply being close to the mountains, the team’s mental state relaxed visibly. Especially the leader, Norma, whose furrowed brows finally relaxed.
The long journey of more than twenty days was not only physical fatigue for them, but also a mental test. Especially in the beginning, they would encounter harassment from fungi and beasts from time to time, ranging from three to five. Groups, ranging from dozens to hundreds.
Although under Norma’s command, they can always be easily annihilated, this nervous look is irritating every migrating person at all times.
“Finally safe…” Ian murmured, looking at the majestic mountains.
Simply looking at the mountains brings peace of mind.
The four words “immovable as a mountain” emerged in his mind, as if this towering mountain range was the strongest fortress, protecting every living thing here.
He also looked at the altitude of the endless mountains, but they were too tall and he couldn’t see the height of the peaks at all, because the clouds were already halfway up the mountain…
Without saying a word, the entire team continued deeper under the leadership of Norma. The entrance was a gap between the two peaks, a gap about 200 meters wide. From the topography, it is like the movement of the earth’s crust caused the two peaks to collide and squeeze each other, and then were cut open by a sharp blade.
The entire mountain range runs north to south, and there is nothing but this gap. What is left is just a series of towering ridges, snow-capped peaks and rocky cliffs.
And this gap has become the only way to enter the mountains from the west. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and it is a natural pass. Seeing this reminded him of an anime scene from his previous life – Shayin Village One Thread Sky.
After entering the mountains, Ian found that there was not much vegetation here, it was slightly bleak and cold, and it looked more like a wasteland waiting to be developed. The only green is the spruce and fir trees. But this is normal, after all, the higher the altitude, the fewer plants there are.
…
After continuing on for more than an hour, Norma stopped in a valley plain.
Ian also looked at the surrounding environment. He said it was a valley and plain. In his opinion, it was more like the cornerstone of a mountain that had been cut off. But it is also a settlement with excellent terrain. It is surrounded by mountains on three sides. The only front is the entrance to the pass a hundred kilometers ahead.
Thanks to the vision in mid-air, he can see the whole place better. According to visual inspection, the area of the cornerstone of this platform is at least 3,000 square kilometers. Don’t underestimate this number. This area is already twice the size of London.
With such a vast area, a city built here would have a population of at least tens of millions.
After the team stopped moving forward, Ian slowly fell from the air and quietly walked to Norma. After she finished all the tasks, she said:
“Is this here? How long will it be peaceful?”
He can only judge the situation through naked eye observation and analysis, unlike Norma and the others, who can directly receive orders from the local world.
Just like Ina said before, she clearly knows her mission.
After hearing this specious inquiry, Norma thought for a while and then said solemnly: “This is almost the most suitable place.”
Then he shook his head and said in a tired tone: “I don’t know how long the peace will last. It seems good so far, but in the future…”
At this point, she stopped talking. Ian also knew what was going on, and there was no need to clarify some of the words. It was obviously based on the future direction of the world. The three Norma people have outstanding performance in the assessment and are defined as potential stocks, so they will develop in a safe place in the rear.
But… all things are relative to each other. When there is a rear, there must be a front; there are safe places, and correspondingly there are dangerous places.
He knew that Norma was obviously thinking about the tribes ahead who exchanged countless lives for time. Her natural kindness prevented her from enjoying this peace with peace of mind.
But also as the leader here, she has the responsibility and obligation to bring tranquility and peace to those who follow her.
Likewise, everyone in this team is either her elder or her younger brother and sister, which requires her to consider the consequences for this place before making any decisions.
Ian also understood Norma’s exhaustion. On the one hand, she was condemned by her conscience and enjoyed the peace gained through the sacrifices of others; on the other hand, she had to fulfill the responsibilities of a leader.
But he didn’t say much about it. Moreover, even if you feed Norma some chicken soup, what’s the point? Regarding these trainings, he is actually happy to see the results.
Because growth requires a price, Norma is no longer the little girl holding a ball all day long.
“Okay. But, how are you going to build this place?” Ian changed the subject decisively.
“Construction?” Norma’s eyes suddenly brightened a little. “I haven’t thought about it yet, but it must be strong and beautiful…”
Ian looked at Norma, who was a little cute at the moment, and smiled silently. After all, it is still a girl’s nature to be strong and beautiful at the same time.
But he was not prepared to refute anything, so he let Norma figure it out on her own. And he also knew that if one day fungi could attack this place, no matter how strong it was, it would be of no use.
Because that would represent the entire defeat of the world, and it would also be the time for him to take action with all his strength and end personally.
In that case, there was no need to think about being targeted by fungi anymore. Instead, he became the person who was barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.
“As long as you like it, remember to tell me if you need it. At least I can help you build it quickly and save a lot of time.” Ian looked at Norma’s shining eyes and said dotingly.
“Well! Ian is the best!” Norma said happily. “I’ll look for it in the book and draw the pattern for you to see.”
Unlike Ina’s soft and waxy voice, Norma’s words always have something special about her, that clear and pure voice, like a Valkyrie-like existence.
…
Over the next few days, he discovered an interesting phenomenon. As long as she had free time, Norma would hold the book “Medieval Architecture” and keep reading it. At the same time, she would spread out a piece of parchment and keep writing and drawing. Her concentration was so…
Of course, she didn’t relax at all when it came to business. The first is the cultivation of food. After all, due to the altitude here, there are not many food sources, so a stable food source is the top priority.
Although according to Norma, when you enter adulthood after the age of 12, you basically have very little need for food, but no matter how little it is, it is still a kind of consumption, especially in the current state of being unable to make ends meet and living on nothing.
Ian was glad that he had enough supplies and that there were very few infant children in the same team. Otherwise… he really felt like there was going to be a famine here.
