Survival of the Nation: My luck was a tiny bit worse.

On the twelfth day, the seemingly insignificant but necessary decoration project began.

Three Pakistani soldiers showcased their latest technological development – ​​stone bricks.

Grind the pebbles into powder, mix with a sticky wild fruit paste, stir into a mud, pour into a wooden mold, and let it dry—

"What is this?"

"Red bricks."

"Red bricks?"

"Yes, it looks a lot like the red bricks in our real world! But it's much sturdier!"

Even Chen Hao said it was awesome after seeing it.

They used this method to produce dozens of stone bricks at once, which were used to reinforce the walls and pave the ground.

"I'll tell you where you can pick this fruit in a bit; it's not far."

Hassan chuckled, "But if you're going to use it in large quantities, you'll need to prepare transportation equipment..."

Ou Yun patted his chest and said the matter was settled, while thinking to himself that we couldn't just take their money for nothing!

"Just name your demand for water and salt!"

On the fifteenth day, the stone house was completed.

Leng Ruolan stood on the roof, laid out and nailed the last piece of bone armor, clapped her hands, and jumped down, landing steadily.

The new campsite is almost twice the size of the previous one, and its layout is more rational.

The main gate faces south, with two watchtowers on the left and right. The walls form an inverted V shape, enclosing the entire camp, providing almost no blind spots in the defense.

The stone house was spacious and bright. This time it wasn't a large communal room, but rather several individual rooms—Ou Yun and Leng Ruolan each had a single room, while Chen Hao occupied the largest one, which he used as a combined research and storage studio.

The warehouse was built next to the cabin, with a high foundation, so there was no longer any worry about rainwater backflow.

There's an open space in the middle of the campsite, paved with stone bricks, which can be used for barbecues, playing cards, sunbathing, drinking, chatting, and so on—it's a multi-functional area.

Leng Ruolan smiled sincerely as she looked at the new camp.

Ou Yun, standing to the side, covered her mouth with tears in her eyes, "Young Master hasn't smiled like this in ten years..."

He was mercilessly elbowed on the back of the head by Leng Ruolan.

Chen Hao looked around carefully, pondering, "This time it should withstand an explosion, right?"

Alexander exclaimed, "That depends on the extent of the explosion."

Ivan shook his head upon hearing this, "If we encounter another monster energy explosion, building ten more like this would be pointless."

That evening, the nine men sat around the square of the new campsite and lit a bonfire that was bigger than ever before.

The flames illuminated the brand-new stone brick floor, the brand-new wooden walls, and the brand-new roof slabs, giving everything a vibrant and lively feel.

Nanbei and Ludou lay at Ouyun's feet, their tails swishing leisurely back and forth.

The cow, lying in its new den in the corner of the camp, finally opened its eyes—after looking at its new surroundings, it sneezed and went back to sleep.

The group gathered around the campfire, and the hungry wolves pounced on the food, feasting heartily.

Beside them, Alexander mysteriously pulled Ou Yun aside, "Brother, do you have a wine glass?"

Ou Yun was speechless. What kind of place did he think this was, where he could just order whatever he wanted?

"Yes, why?"

Then Alexander chuckled, pulled something shiny from his pocket, and said, "I have this! Shall we take a look? It'll be a surprise for everyone!"

When Ou Yun saw it, he immediately exclaimed "Holy crap!"

"You have vodka?! Where did you get it?!"

liquor!

It's alcohol!

Good heavens! They've been in the forbidden area for so long, and they have almost everything—except for alcohol, which is a form of entertainment.

God knows how excited Europe is right now!

Ou Yun jumped up and pounced on Alexander's back, grabbing him by the throat. "Hurry up! Confess! Where did you come from! Tell me!"

Alexander surrendered on the spot, saying, "I... I opened 10 crates in the white supply crates..."

"and then?"

"And then... I brought everything, planning to celebrate with my older brother afterwards."

Ou Yun let out a shout, his mouth stretching to the back of his ears, "Hey, you're a good guy."

Alexander almost choked on his breath. Ouch, that was awful! His older brother doesn't look as strong as him, but his grip is incredibly strong!

Is this the attribute bonus rewarded by the nation's fortune? *sobs*

Later, when the vodka was served, everyone went wild.

"Damn it! Vodka!"

"Hurrah! Hurrah, and that's it!"

"Hey, you guys from Xiongguo, you even have this? Isn't that going too far?"

"So what? It's normal for us Xiongguo people to have vodka, isn't it? You Pakistanis, don't make such a fuss!"

We were full and satisfied.

Leng Ruolan single-handedly drank Xiong Guo and Ba Tie Guo under the table.

"I don't feel anything."

Leng Ruolan looked at the empty wine bottles scattered on the ground and the six burly men who were out of their minds, and fell into deep thought.

"Wait, was my alcohol tolerance really that high before?"

Chen Hao didn't drink much; he still had things to do later—but seeing Leng Ruolan acting as if nothing was wrong, without even blushing, he thought of something.

"Your physical condition has improved, so this amount of alcohol is no problem at all."

Ou Yun had drunk quite a bit, but his face didn't even turn red. Hearing this, he immediately shook his head with a regretful look, "I still wanted to see Captain Leng act crazy when he was drunk."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hao silently moved to the side.

Sure enough, the next second, a long, white leg slammed down on the spot next to Ou Yun.

"Do you want to see it? I'll show you right now."

"Uh... I was just kidding... Captain Leng, calm down... calm down, calm down—uh!"

A cheerful atmosphere once filled the camp.

Chen Hao, the only normal person, arrived at the location of that large pit.

This pit was the center of the battle between the Abyss Bone Demons.

Chen Hao recalled that after the monster died, its body seemed to turn into blue light and fall to the ground.

The most blue light falls into this pit.

At the time, he thought something extraordinary might happen in that pit—

But so far, there has been no response at all.

"This shouldn't be happening..."

Chen Hao thought to himself that the notice had already stated that after the monster died, it turned into nutrients, which were then absorbed by this soil. Wasn't it obvious that this soil was meant for them to use for farming?

This shouldn't be the case now!

Chen Hao thought for a moment and decided to go down into the pit to take a look.

The pit is quite deep; it would be quite difficult for an average person to get out after going down.

But it doesn't matter, since he's the big brother's little brother, he still has that much strength and skill.

Chen Hao slipped and fell to the bottom of the pit with a slightly comical movement.

He crouched down and carefully examined the soil in the pit—

"This is……"

The soil at the bottom of the crater, which had been bombarded by energy cannons, was scorched black and barren.

However, at this point, the charred black color gradually faded and turned into a dark brown.

The texture also became softer, which was noticeably different from the surrounding soil.

"...!"

Shocked, Chen Hao began to carefully explore the bottom of the pit.

Surprisingly, I found a small blade of grass in the corner.

A tender, vibrant little blade of grass!

"Grass……!"

Chen Hao's eyes widened with excitement, and he couldn't help but lie down on the ground to look directly at the grass.

"It's grass!"
