Transcending Worlds: I Have an Invincible Shelter

"Are we just going to let them run rampant like this?"

Lin Xuanzhi was quick-witted and could easily see through Jiang Xiaochen's intention in stopping her. However, seeing these mutants, each with their own ulterior motives, acting recklessly, she couldn't suppress her anger and couldn't bear to watch any longer.

In just a few days, this group of mutants, each with their own agendas, had already developed numerous conflicts and had engaged in several fierce battles in private.

Fights erupted as people clashed over the women in the camp, while others grappled over mutated beasts in the Black Forest, escalating the chaos and spiraling out of control. Had the Black Forest Mech No. 1 not been deployed in time to forcefully quell the unrest, the situation would have undoubtedly devolved into an uncontrollable catastrophe.

"Of course not. We need to establish solid camp rules, and anyone who violates them will be severely punished according to the law!"

Upon hearing that rules needed to be established to govern everyone, Lin Xuanzhi immediately felt overwhelmed and annoyed. She turned to look at Zhao Xinyan beside her, her tone full of helplessness and frustration: "Xinyan, is it really because we are too weak?"

"Their weakness is only one reason; ultimately, they are all wary of Grass City."

Zhao Xinyan sighed softly, her tone tinged with helplessness, "Nowadays, many mutants and gifted individuals see Glass Mingyuan and assume that the adults were afraid, which is why they released him."

"That's true, but it's unclear how the higher-ups plan to deal with that person."

Lin Xuanzhi pondered for a moment, then looked up at Jiang Xiaochen and asked urgently, "When will we arrange for people to go into the mining area to work?"

"Although the reserves of mutated beast meat are currently sufficient, there are so many miners. How to distribute them, and how much to give each person per day, is a real headache."

Listening to Lin Xuanzhi muttering to herself with a worried expression, Jiang Xiaochen smiled helplessly and waved his hand.

"I'll leave this troublesome matter to you two to figure out. I'm going out to hunt mutated beasts."

"And you?"

Sensing Jiang Xiaochen's unspoken meaning, Lin Xuanzhi glanced at Zhao Xinyan. Now, only the two of them were gifted individuals.

To successfully break through and advance to the second tier of talent, one must continuously hunt down a massive number of mutated beasts and accumulate sufficient resources before having the opportunity to break through the shackles and complete the transformation.

Jiang Xiaochen reached out and opened the door, about to walk out, when he suddenly stopped, as if he had just remembered something important. He immediately turned to look at Lin Xuanzhi and Zhao Xinyan and asked them.

"By the way, what are our plans for dealing with that spy from the Ash Earth camp who's been lurking around here?"

"Should we just kill him?"

Zhao Xinyan didn't respond to her words. Although she also hoped to go out and hunt mutated beasts to accumulate strength, she couldn't help but worry about Lin Xuanzhi staying alone in the camp.

Upon hearing Jiang Xiaochen mention the spies planted in the Jintu camp, Zhao Xinyan immediately chimed in with a hint of coldness in her voice.

The three of them harbored no goodwill towards the Ash Earth Camp; on the contrary, they were filled with deep-seated hatred. If the Ash Earth Camp hadn't ruthlessly massacred the Night Watch Camp, Shen Changge wouldn't have died tragically, and Song Ruhai wouldn't still be missing and his fate unknown.

"Just kill them?"

Jiang Xiaochen raised his hand and rubbed his throbbing temples, looking hesitant.

With his current strength of only first-tier talent, he still lacked confidence when facing the well-established Jintu Camp and dared not easily cause trouble.

The main reason is that Su Yuyang is no longer around, and they have lost their confidence.

"Should we ask the adults?"

Sensing the hesitation in Jiang Xiaochen's tone, Lin Xuanzhi tapped the edge of the table lightly with her fingertips and spoke calmly.

"The adults have already entrusted us with all matters concerning the camp, big and small. What else do you have to worry about?"

"She was just a spy sent by the Ash Earth Camp. Kill her and that's it. What's there to hesitate about? Besides, she wanted to escape back, which clearly shows that she has already discovered the fact that a Black Forest camp has been built in the Tokyo mining area. Once the news gets back, the consequences will be dire. What are you still hesitating about?"

"Alright then, I'll let Green Eyes and Lou Tengjing handle it."

Jiang Xiaochen gently closed the door, instantly shutting out all the chaotic noise from the outside world.

"Xuanzhi, are you really determined to risk awakening your talent?"

Zhao Xinyan stopped what she was doing and looked up at her.

She was currently helping Lin Xuanzhi finalize the various rules and regulations for the Black Forest camp when the other party suddenly had this idea, which made her feel very serious.

The Black Forest camp today is no longer what it used to be. In the past, everything in the Night Watch camp revolved around a few gifted individuals, who held the power of life and death over the camp.

At present, in the Black Forest camp, the adults have absolute power and absolute authority, and everyone must obey their orders.

The two of them only need to take the lead in finalizing the various rules and regulations, setting the code of conduct, and ensuring that everyone in the camp behaves themselves and acts in accordance with the rules.

"If I can't awaken my talent, will I still be able to keep these people in check?"

Lin Xuanzhi sighed deeply, her body slumped back in her chair, and stared blankly out the window, her heart filled with helplessness and confusion.

"Do you really think those mutants and gifted individuals who have defected to you are genuinely willing to obey your commands?"

They're only intimidated by the adults' power. Those third and fourth-tier experts in the camp are all ambitious; who wouldn't want to surpass us and take our place?

"Don't overthink it, go out and hunt mutated beasts too."

"Break through to a higher realm as soon as possible, so you can share more of the burden with the adults. Right now, the most pressing needs of our camp are still food and water."

After listening to Lin Xuanzhi's words, Zhao Xinyan remained seated quietly, her body motionless, her tone full of worry.

"Yes, it hasn't rained a drop in the Black Forest for a long time. If this drought continues, I'm afraid a large number of miners will lose their lives because they can't endure the lack of water."

"Are you really not going?"

Seeing that Zhao Xinyan showed no intention of leaving, Lin Xuanzhi stopped trying to persuade her and handed her the camp rules she had drafted.

"These were all hastily drafted. Please take a look and see if there are any additions or changes needed."

Zhao Xinyan read through the list one by one. It contained both reward and punishment regulations and detailed rules for the distribution of various supplies. After reading it carefully, she agreed with most of the rules.

On the other side, Jiang Xiaochen stepped out of the room and immediately saw the green-eyed man not far away. He quickly walked over and asked softly.

"Where is that spy sent by the Ash Earth Camp hiding now?"

Since bringing the survivors of the Night Watch camp back to the Black Forest camp, he had no time to pay attention to this spy from the Ash Earth camp who had infiltrated the camp.

Green Eyes quickly glanced around, then looked up and gestured towards the cluster of wooden houses to the southeast, whispering.

"These past few days, that man has been going out to cut timber with a few young men from the night watch camp, and he often goes to the outskirts of the camp to secretly scout out what's going on around the Black Mountain mine."

The living area where everyone is currently located is still quite a distance from the core area of ​​the mining area.

Between the two places lies a vast, open plain, which was carved out by a group of mutants and gifted individuals who recently worked together to cut down and clear out the black forest trees.

In the past, the working class in the Tokyo mining area were trapped in the mines all day long, working and resting. If they lost their lives, they were simply buried in the dark depths of the mine tunnels, without even a proper coffin.

Now, everyone is building wooden houses at the foot of Black Mountain, and the camp is laid out in an orderly manner: mutants and gifted individuals live in the center, while the miners are all placed on the periphery, arranged in a fan shape, surrounding the entrance to the mine.

"Hanging out with those young survivors at the Night Watch camp?"

Jiang Xiaochen muttered to himself, and after a moment's thought, he instantly understood the intricacies of the matter.

A few days ago, he visited the Dingzi wooden hut area where the survivors lived with Zhao Xinyan and Lin Xuanzhi.

In this way, anyone with a keen eye can easily find out the truth with a little investigation.

Jiang Xiaochen immediately said in a deep voice.

"Go and grab that eyeliner."

Hearing Jiang Xiaochen's cold tone, Green Eyes hesitated and asked in a low voice.

"What should we do if the survivors from the original watch camp try to stop us?"

"You are all mutants and gifted individuals."

Jiang Xiaochen did not directly state the countermeasures, but only subtly revealed the true identities of Green Eyes, Tian Xiao, and Fog Fungus, the deeper meaning of which was self-evident.

Upon hearing this, Green Eyes suddenly realized, gave an embarrassed smile, and immediately turned around and strode towards the T-shaped wooden house area.

Watching the group of green-eyed people disappear completely into the distance, Jiang Xiaochen stared intently in that direction for a long time.

He secretly thought that after eliminating the spy from the Ash Earth camp, he would begin to plan his trip to hunt strange beasts.

Jiang Xiaochen had initially thought of summoning Black Forest No. 1 to accompany and protect him, but then he thought that this mech must be stationed at the camp to suppress any ill-intentioned individuals with its formidable combat power, and it should not be mobilized easily.

Inside the Dingzi wooden cabin area, several young people chatted and laughed as they walked out of the camp. Among them, one person stood out and attracted everyone's attention.

Even though Chao Tingxue deliberately concealed her appearance and tried to disguise herself, her elegant and outstanding figure still couldn't hide her charm, attracting the attention of the young men around her.

The group planned to leave the camp and cut down blackwood to make various kinds of furniture for everyday use.

The group had just left the T-shaped wooden house area and arrived at a lush forest. Several strong and healthy young men immediately picked up pickaxes and began to vigorously chop down the thick, dark wood.

Chao Tingxue followed closely beside a young man and joined in to help.

After several dozen attempts, the group finally managed to carve a deep crack in the massive tree, which was as thick as three people could hug.

Cold sweat dripped down everyone's foreheads, but fortunately, they usually had plenty of mutated beast meat to replenish their strength.

With their combined strength and brute force, they quickly chopped down the towering tree.

The massive, thick log crashed to the ground, and a look of joy immediately spread across the faces of the young men.

Just then, a tall young man was startled and hurriedly looked around.

"Oh no, where did the little snowman go?"

The others hurriedly looked around, then all turned to the young man beside them, who was about twenty years old and dressed rather sloppily, and asked him urgently.

"Xiaoxue was right next to you just now, how come she's disappeared in the blink of an eye?"

"How should I know? They were right next to me just a moment ago, and then they disappeared in the blink of an eye."

This disheveled young man was secretly pleased with himself. These days, Tianchao Tingxue often accompanied him, which aroused the envy of the other young men in the camp. He was the center of attention for a time.

"Hurry back and report to Brother Luo, Brother Mu, and Brother Pu, lest they've been kidnapped by the mutants in the camp!"

The group suddenly remembered the recent events, including the fact that many mutants had secretly attacked women in the mining area. A wave of fear washed over them, and they became increasingly flustered.

They had initially relied on their background as members of the night watch camp, confident that the mutants would not dare to provoke them easily, but who knew that such a change would occur.

But now that Zhao Tingxue has mysteriously disappeared, the boys are both anxious and angry. They can no longer think about it and run wildly towards the T-shaped wooden house complex.

As everyone rushed back to the Dingzi wooden house area, they bumped right into Green Eyes, Tian Xiao, and Wu Jun's group who were also arriving.

"It must have been you guys who did this!"

Several young men, enraged, were about to rush forward to argue. Tian Xiao, sensing the tense atmosphere, spoke first in a deep voice, asking a question.

"Where is the woman who has been following you recently?"

"Where's Xiaoxue? Where did you take her?!"

One of the boys in the group, who had always been infatuated with Tingxue, was filled with rage and clenched his fists, ready to charge forward.

With just a cold glance from his green eyes, the misty fungus beside him immediately activated its supernatural power, causing the ground fungi to grow wildly and spread, instantly binding the group of youths tightly.

Green-eyed, too lazy to pay attention to the group of ordinary miners, turned to look at Lou Tengjing and asked in a deep voice.

"Where is that spy hiding?"

"I just followed that group of people that way."

Lou Tengjing pointed in a direction, and the green-eyed group didn't dare to delay for a moment and immediately sped off in that direction.

The trapped youths panicked when they saw the group heading straight for the logging site, and they were even more confused about where Chao Tingxue was going.

The boy with the loudest voice in the crowd shouted anxiously.

"Brother Luo, come quick! They're about to hurt someone!"

"Brother Luo! They're going to hurt someone!"

Several anxious shouts rang out in succession, and the camp's living area was instantly thrown into chaos. The commotion was so great that it immediately alerted the guards stationed there.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten camp guards rushed over. These guards were quite strong, with the weakest being a second-tier talent awakener.

Upon hearing the news, Jiang Xiaochen rushed over and happened to run into Luo Xianglan, Mu Changsheng, and Pu Dongchen, who were hurrying over from the Dingzi wooden house area.

"Shut up, all of you!"

Jiang Xiaochen gave a deep shout, his cold gaze sweeping across the entire scene, instantly silencing the chaotic shouts.

Several young men, their faces pale, cried out in hoarse voices, "Brother Jiang, they've kidnapped Xiaoxue; they're probably going to kill her!"

Luo Xianglan and the other two rushed over quickly, their expressions solemn and their auras tense.

He recognized them at a glance; they were all survivors who had miraculously survived from the night watch camp.
