Global Fog Survival: I have a built-in editor

Chapter 242, Frontline Base and Volunteer Team

On the way to the advance base, the "fog man" seemed to be quite cooperative.

In other words, surrounded by five or six torches, the range of activities of the "Fog Man" is actually extremely small.

Until he arrived at the frontline base, Li You was holding a "portable strong light searchlight" in his hand, and his eyes hardly moved away from the "fog man".

"A misty being that can understand human language...and is very afraid of fire and bright light."

"What kind of secrets are hidden in this dark mist?"

After entering the base, watching a group of south wind knights "pull" the fogman into the interior of the outpost, Qin Lang and the others gathered around the small bonfire at the entrance, discussing in a low voice.

"Old Qin, what do you think...that is?"

It was Wu Mao who asked the question. After the initial panic... Regarding the "Fog Man", the few people were no longer as nervous as when they saw it just now.

Today, several people's hearts are full of strong curiosity.

A life that is almost exactly the same as "Mist", this "Fog Man"...obviously represents some kind of change or omen.

"I'm not so sure either……"

With the help of the light and darkness of the fire, Qin Lang stared at the gate of the outpost where the fog man was escorted in before and said:
"Regardless of what this fog man represents... we shouldn't need to care about it for the time being."

"But the only thing I worry about is whether this kind of 'fog life' will appear on a large scale in the fog..."

Qin Lang's words also changed the expressions of the surrounding Ai Qingqing and others.

No one doubts whether this kind of "fog life" can move freely in the dangerous fog.

Just judging from its almost identical composition to the mist, this... is almost inevitable.

After hesitating for a while with an ugly face, Ai Qingqing simply extinguished the torch in his hand, and while taking out things from the backpack, he said:

"You said, would this 'mist life' also inherit the characteristics of the mist...'eating people'?"

After taking a bite of the wheat cake that Ai Qingqing handed over, Qin Lang nodded with a complex expression.

"You didn't go in together just now, so you didn't see Li You's 'test' on this thing."

"This 'mist life'... has no entity at all."

"If they inherit the devouring characteristics of the mist...we humans may not be able to resist their attacks at all."

Qin Lang's words also caused a violent expression change among the people around him.

Yeah... no entity.

This means that such a 'mist life'... is not afraid of all the weapons currently available to the chosen one.

Like the powerful "searchlight" in Li You's hands, several people have actually only seen it here from Li You.

Even the flashlight that most people were "born" with is damaged or lost.

Just when several people were eating and guessing by the campfire.

Li You inside the outpost was thinking while staring at the "fog man" in front of him.

The previous simple observation inside the "City of Isaac" had already given Li You some basic guesses about the "Fog Man".

For example, although the "Fog Man" is as ethereal as real fog, it still cannot pass through thick entities such as walls.

"And, fear of flames and strong light..."

At this time, the room where the Fog Man was located had no windows. In the original frontline outpost, it was a facility similar to a storage room.

After simply cleaning out the sundries inside, Li You asked the south wind knights to plant burning "exquisite torches" almost one by one on the surrounding walls.

During the burning of more than 20 torches, not only the storage room was illuminated like daytime, but even the temperature was scorched very dry and hot.

Li You's "captive" looked very panicked at this moment, standing in the very center of the storage room.

Opposite it is outside the door where Li Youzheng is standing.

And in the doorway between the "two people", there were also two torches stuck straight at this time.

For Li You, who is now rich and powerful, twenty or thirty torches are nothing.

Even if it is necessary to maintain such a "torch cage" 24 hours a day, with Li You's current material reserves and resource income, it can only be said to be a drizzle.

His current worries are actually exactly the same as those of Qin Lang and others.

"Sally, do you think this kind of thing... will appear in the fog on a large scale?"

Li You's sudden question stunned Sally, who had already taken off the "simple exoskeleton" behind him.

"Master Li You, even though these 'fog beings' can act in the light, it is obvious...they are still afraid of flames and strong light."

"With our material reserves, it is not difficult to deal with the invasion of these things..."

Listening to Sally's words, she nodded with a wry smile, as if she agreed.

For Li You today, there is actually no limit to the number of "small campfires".

The big deal is to use a small bonfire to surround the entire Swan Castle Fortress and the Central Market.

Not to mention the Swan Castle Fortress, within the range of the large bonfires, those small bonfires don't even need to add firewood.

"But...if this thing appears on a large scale."

"For the other chosen ones, I'm afraid it will be a disaster!"

Sighing heavily, Li You felt that his heart was very heavy.

In this world, no one can be alone.

Even he cannot survive independently from the other chosen ones.

When the mist is filled with misty life, even if Li You can continue to "create something out of nothing" through wandering merchants, he probably won't last long at all.

He... always leaves the camp to find "editorial access".

"Master Li You, don't you continue to try to communicate with this thing?"

Sally's suggestion made Li You shake his head.

"There's nothing to communicate, and I can't understand the fog man's cry."

"Furthermore, in the frightening fog, such a 'mist life' suddenly appeared... If the things were said with good intentions, I'm afraid it's impossible."

"This fog man looks so cute now, probably because he is afraid of the torches and searchlights in our hands."

"..."

After a long silence, Sally took a step forward, almost leaning behind Li You and whispered:
"Then what are we going to do?"

"..."

"Take one step at a time."

After all, Li You turned around and walked outside the outpost.

Here, just arrange two south wind knights to guard with "searchlights".

After a while, reinforcements from the "Central Market" arrive, and Li You will continue to return to "Isaac City" to do the task.

In addition to "Fog Man", the mission of "finding Tatara" also made Li You very concerned.

So far, excluding the Chosen One, the Misty Man... and Su's origin, the "mothership Alabalon" where the dragon can't see its tail.

In this fog, Li You only saw the only "neutral unit" called the wandering merchant.

"This Tatara, is it like a wandering merchant?"

Thinking of this, Li You suddenly remembered another thing.

As for the "wandering businessman", so far, apart from knowing the identity of the other party's "businessman", he still doesn't know anything else.

Even "Su" didn't provide him with any information about the wandering merchant.

According to Su, in the previous "wars", there were no "units" like wandering merchants in the fog.

……

After returning to the outpost, Li You first greeted Qin Lang and the others briefly, and then started further "construction".

If the "City of Isaac" is to be greatly developed, this small front-line outpost is completely insufficient.

Taking the front-line outpost where the "Fog Man" was held as the center, Li You directly built more than a dozen front-line outposts in the vicinity this time.

At the same time, a large number of "twilight safety zones" and "small campfires" were set up around.

Excluding the cost factor, the area of ​​this frontline base is almost equivalent to two or three "medium-sized camps".

Seeing a large area of ​​deep fog around, it was dispelled with Li You's construction.

Qin Lang and others were shocked in their hearts.

"Good guy, it's really a big deal..."

Looking at at least [-] or [-] "small bonfires" around, Wu Mao, among the four, couldn't help being a little speechless.

Not to mention laying the road for the "twilight safety zone", how many resources are needed for these small bonfires!
Not to mention, these bonfires... all need to add "firewood" regularly.

After everything was settled, Li You looked at Qin Lang and the others who were chatting around a small bonfire, and simply built more than a dozen "pioneer camps" next to the bonfire near the "Twilight Safety Zone" not far away. ".

"what……"

Looking at a pile of pioneer camps that suddenly "sprung up" nearby, Qin Lang and the others were a little dazed.

"Qin Lang, here... I am planning to use it as a frontline base for developing this "City of Isaac"."

"Like the Central Market, this place is also provided for temporary rest and accommodation for the chosen ones."

After adding a few "pioneer camps" nearby, Li You looked at the dazed people and continued:

"I've noticed it before when I was in the Central Market."

"Now many people are going here on their own... based on everyone's safety and efficiency considerations."

"I decided to run a 'shuttle bus' between this frontline base and the Central Market."

"..."

"Shuttle bus?"

Listening to Li You's words, Qin Lang and the others couldn't help looking at the untidy "half-track vehicles" parked not far away.

"Yes, those half-track vehicles are the means of transportation for this bus."

Seeing how many people were looking at the half-track vehicle, Li You looked at Qin Lang and said:

"Qin Lang, we are old friends in this fog."

"I'm not going to intervene in the management of this frontline base. Can your 'First Volunteer Squad' be in charge of the security and maintenance of this 'Camp of the Chosen Ones'?"

"..."

"what!!"

When they got here, Qin Lang, Ai Qingqing and others were truly shocked.

The "First Volunteer Squad", the "militia organization" that was temporarily formed when the Fog United Army attacked the First Market, has already gained some influence in the "Central Large Market" today.

With a group of people from channel 2205 as the core, the current No. 200 Volunteer Team has almost swelled to nearly [-] people.

But because there is no war, the current "First Volunteer Squad" is more like a guild organization for team formation.

"How about it, I heard... the first volunteer team, you and Ai Qingqing are connected together?"

Seeing the shock on the faces of Qin Lang and Ai Qingqing, the smile on Li You's face did not change, but added fuel to the fire again.

"In addition, I will also support a batch of weapons and supplies to the 'First Volunteer Squad'."

"..."

"Li You, what do you mean...are you going to build the First Volunteer Team into an army?"

With a little shock, Qin Lang looked at Li You and asked the biggest doubt in his heart.

"With your prestige at this time, you can already raise an army among the chosen ones at any time."

"why would……"

Qin Lang didn't finish his sentence, but the few people present could understand what he meant.

After defeating the Fog United Army, in this "No.20 Region", Li You was already the well-deserved leader of the region.

Even with the "Central Market", it has almost become the economic center of the No.20 region.

Here, in addition to more than 3000 permanent residents, the daily flow of people is about [-].

Compared to the total population of the entire "No.20 Region", it is already a rather remarkable figure.

"As I said, I don't need the Chosen as an army for the time being."

With a slightly serious face, Li You looked at several people and continued:
"As for the reason, I think you should also know."

"But everything is not absolute."

"The first volunteer team can be used as an attempt for me..."

After Li You finished speaking, he finally nodded at Qin Lang and said:

"When you are free, you can redefine your organizational framework."

"I will provide you with equipment and supplies as appropriate."

"The 'chosen camp' of this frontline base is currently your first defense zone."

……

After Li You left, Qin Lang and Ai Qingqing were still standing there in a daze, obviously not waking up from this "great event from heaven".

After a long time, Wu Mao looked at Qin Lang, and said in a stammering tone:
"Old Qin, what do you think?"

"What do you think...?"

Dumbfoundingly, he glanced at Wu Mao, who had an "extremely excited" face, before Qin Lang looked at the surrounding partners and whispered:

"No matter how you say it, this is an opportunity for us and everyone in the 'First Volunteer Team'!"

"At least what many people in the team are worried about... about the 'staffing' issue, this time it can be regarded as completely implemented!"

"..."

"That's right..."

Compared with the excited Wu Mao, Ai Qingqing on the side showed a somewhat unconfident expression at this time.

"Today's volunteer team is actually an extremely loose guild organization."

"Even if we are the former founders... Really, can we control the selectors in the team?"

"Furthermore, apart from the more than 100 people who were just established, the people who joined later... I'm afraid they all regard the 'First Volunteer Team' as a team formation platform?"

"Under such circumstances, are they... really trustworthy?"

　Happy August!
