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

We've all been together for a long time, so it's really hard to get used to being apart all of a sudden.

However, there is one thing that the Xiong Kingdom has discussed with the Pakistan Kingdom: it just so happens that when Ou Yun and Leng Ruolan go to find furnace materials.

Now that their older brother has given them so many props, they've decided to tell him now.

Hassan glanced at Alexander.

Alexander nodded, then said, "Brother, there's something we'd like to discuss with you."

Ou Yun took a bite of the biscuit. "What is it?"

The group exchanged glances.

Alexander took a deep breath. "We want to move to the foot of your mountain."

Ou Yun paused in his chewing of the biscuit: "Move it over here?"

Alexander is right.

The eldest brother also said that the entire mountain is their territory, and they don't want anything in return. They'll just stay at the foot of the mountain and live there quietly—that way, it will be more convenient for them to work in the future, and they can provide immediate support if anything happens!

Leng Ruolan then asked, "What happened to your previous campsite?"

"That campsite was just a temporary stopover; there's nothing to miss about it."

Farhan said, "We can move the supplies from the underground warehouse over; it will only take a few trips."

And to be honest.

It's been so long since this area was restricted; it looks like there won't be any other players here.

Humans, in this kind of environment, it's still more reassuring to live with our fellow human beings, sob sob.

Maxim and Ivan nodded in agreement. "Our camp in Bear Country is also very far away. We have to drive off-road vehicles every time we come here."

It feels like such a waste to just drive over the SUV that my brother gave me! It didn't generate any income for him at all!

If we could move the campsite to the foot of the mountain, they could come and help with the farming every day!

Hassan, true to his straightforward nature, added, "We don't eat much. We can also help with a lot of chores, so it's not a free stay, hahaha!"

Who knew that they initially didn't intend to get too close to the Dragon Kingdom brothers and wanted to rely on themselves?

Well, there's nothing I can do about it...

The Chinese brothers are really outrageous!

It's a mountain range that seems to stretch as far as the eye can see!

Ou Yun swallowed a piece of biscuit and thought for a while.

He had considered this idea before—he would welcome them not only to move to the foot of the mountain, but also to the campsite.

The problem is, now that the Forbidden Zone has been updated, nobody knows what will happen in the future.

It's convenient for them to live together, but what if something really serious happens—

For example, if another monster of the Abyss Bone Demon level were to appear—the risk would be concentrated.

Let alone being at the same level, what if it's a level higher than the Abyss Bone Demon?

Wouldn't that mean wiping them all out in one fell swoop?

So Ou Yun shared his thoughts.

Chen Hao listened and said that made sense: "Big brother is right. We're not trying to get rid of you, but we're afraid that if something serious happens, you'll be dragged into it too."

Hassan let out a sigh.

In reality, if you were to encounter a monster of that level, you wouldn't be able to escape.

Rather than being picked off one by one by the other side like the Calabash Brothers trying to save their grandfather, it's better to group up and support each other!

If we're going to die, we'll die together! We'll never live on!

"Um……"

With things said to this extent, Ou Yun and the others felt it was a good idea.

Leng Ruolan naturally had no objection, "It's convenient to have them do the work."

"Captain Leng, that's a bit too direct..."

"What? Didn't they say that themselves?"

"Ahem... well!"

That's the decision.

"Alright, we live close by, so we can look out for each other."

"Okay!"

Alexander beamed, "I've already decided on this place. The forest at the foot of the mountain is quite dense; it's perfect for us to clear it ourselves!"

Chen Hao said "Oh," and then said, "Let's go together."

Alexander and Hassan immediately refused, saying, "This is nothing. Cutting down trees and digging the ground is our family's traditional skill!"

Not to mention that we now have all sorts of convenient tools, making this level of land clearing much simpler than building my brother's camp!

"Alright, it's settled then."

Ou Yun stood up, patted the crumbs off his hands, and said, "I'll start helping you move tomorrow."

"You two each choose a plot of land, close to each other, so you can easily look after each other."

"Let's deal with the building materials all at once; there's plenty of that."

"Thank you, Brother Xie!" the six people said in unison.

*

Since we're going to be clearing land, the workload naturally increases as well.

Each person in the group had their own role.

Hassan went to explore the area around the wasteland, saying he wanted to see if there were any other mineral veins.

Alexander and his group were in charge of hunting to provide extra food for everyone. This guy said that he hadn't hunted since he came to help at the Dragon Kingdom camp, and his body was starting to rust.

Farhan and Haishen continued to handle the support work, dealing with vines, timber, and stone.

Chen Hao listened, then pushed up his glasses with satisfaction: "Clear division of labor, each person performing their duties. This is a landmark step in human civilization's transition from tribes to villages."

Leng Ruolan also took a bite of the pancake. "Brother Chen, it's starting again."

"I'm just stating the facts."

Chen Hao was quite serious, saying, "From a sociological perspective, we are transitioning from a hunter-gatherer stage to a settled agricultural stage."

"Population concentration, specialized division of labor, and resource sharing—this is the earliest form of village. And the eldest brother—"

He looked at Ou Yun.

"That's our village chief."

"Village chief... I'm the village chief, and what about you?"

"Me... um, I'm probably the village accountant. Leng is the security captain."

"Hey, I've worked in security, but I've never been a security guard before."

*

The moving operation officially began early the next morning.

The three from Xiong Guo and the three from Ba Tie Guo drove the SUV, which was almost out of gas, sputtering and churning towards their old camp.

Ou Yun and Leng Ruolan stayed at the camp and reforged several pieces of new alloy into finished products.

"Wasn't this supposed to be a composite type? They just built it like this?"

"Use it sooner and enjoy it sooner."

"Too."

There was only one piece of Abyss Alloy, which was broken into three short swords.

While being refined in the furnace, sparks flew everywhere, and even the mechanical and rigid sounds seemed exceptionally pleasant.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!"

"Sizzle—sizzle—"

"Ding!"

Each person has a short knife.

Holding it in your hand like this, you can still see a faint flash of electricity running across the blade.

The blade is as thin as a cicada's wing, yet incredibly sharp.

Leng Ruolan tested the feel of the knife and commented sharply, "If you stab someone with this knife, they'll be paralyzed for a few seconds, even if they don't die."

"It comes with its own enchantment? Maybe we should try it on something else."

"Is it really that complicated to just test a knife? I'm too lazy to go out."

"Brother, you can't go on like this!"

"So what? I'm just enjoying myself—"

This matter wasn't difficult to handle to begin with.

Ou Yun waved his hand, "Mung beans!"

The petite figure came running at the first call, placed its two paws on the windowsill, and meowed happily.

"Go, grab anything, live or something!"
