Xu Tian listened to the noise on the channel and smiled slightly.

The players' enthusiasm has been fully mobilized, which is exactly what he wanted to see.

He turned his gaze away from the noisy battlefield and looked toward the dark entrance to the goblin's lair.

There are more important things to deal with there.

Inside the nest, the light was dim, with only a few scattered torches on the walls providing flickering illumination.

The passageway was slippery and muddy, with scattered bones and filth everywhere.

Xu Tian frowned and pressed his breath as he moved forward.

Memories of goblin lore surfaced in his mind, preparing him for what he was about to see.

Sure enough, not far along, a very faint sob, as if being held back but finally letting out, mixed with fearful breathing, came from around the corner ahead.

He stopped, listened intently for a moment, and whispered to the wind and snow following behind him.

"Xiaoxue, go in first and check the situation."

Feng Xue immediately understood his concerns, nodded, and the relaxed expression on his face disappeared, replaced by solemnity.

She gripped her weapon tightly, tiptoed, and silently disappeared into the darkness ahead.

The waiting time wasn't long, but to Xu Tian it felt like an eternity.

About five minutes later, the sound of wind and snow came from the depths of the cave, calm yet carrying a subtle heaviness.

"Brother Tian, ​​you can come over now."

Xu Tian took a deep breath and stepped around the corner.

The sight before him made his heart feel as if it were being gripped by an invisible hand, even though he was somewhat prepared.

This is a fairly spacious natural cave, but it has been ruined beyond recognition.

The cave walls were filthy, and the ground was messy.

In a relatively dry corner at the innermost part of the cave, hundreds of figures were huddled together in a dark mass.

They were almost all women, of varying ages, ranging from teenage girls to middle-aged women.

The vast majority of people wore only tattered strips of cloth that barely covered their bodies, and their exposed skin showed scars and stains of varying ages.

Chapter 89 Clothing Making

Some people hugged their knees tightly, buried their faces in their hands, and their thin shoulders trembled uncontrollably.

Some people stare blankly into the void, as if their souls have long since departed.

Some others, when Xu Tian and Feng Xue entered, shrank back like frightened cubs, their eyes filled with almost overflowing fear and despair.

Feng Xue was standing a few steps in front of them, slightly bent over, soothing them with an extremely soft and gentle voice.

"Don't be afraid, we are not goblins, we are humans, and we have come to save you."

Xu Tian stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Feng Xue, trying his best to make his gaze appear calm rather than scrutinizing.

"Everyone."

He spoke, and his voice echoed in the silent cave.

"The goblin tribe that had been entrenched here has been completely wiped out by us. You are free."

Some empty eyes shifted slightly and focused on him.

Xu Tian continued.

"We come from another human settlement, where there are strong walls, plenty of food, and safe shelter."

"If you wish, you can come back with us. There, you can start your lives anew, earn your own food and clothing through your own labor, without worrying about attacks from monsters, and no one will harm you anymore."

"Really...really?"

An older woman, huddled at the edge of the crowd, raised her head, her chapped lips trembling, her voice hoarse.

"You're really going to take us away? No...you're not lying to us?"

Her question revealed the deep-seated fear and the faint hope that everyone dared not even dare to hope for.

"Of course it's true."

Feng Xue crouched down, reached out, and firmly grasped the woman's cold, trembling hand, the warmth of which was transmitted to her.

"Look, I'm human too. I assure you, it's safe there, and everyone is friendly. Come with us, okay?"

Fengxue's actions and words were like a key, gently unlocking a tightly closed door to her heart.

"I do."

The woman who had asked the first question grasped Fengxue's hand, tears finally welling up in her eyes. She choked back sobs but nodded forcefully.

"I'm willing too, please, take me away from here."

Another girl was crying out.

"Take me away, I never want to stay in this hell again."

"And me too."

Once hope is ignited, it spreads rapidly.

A faint light rekindled in those pairs of eyes that had been lifeless or terrified.

Xu Tian sighed inwardly. He knew that in the eyes of these fellow players, these were probably just NPCs, a piece of data, or a storyline.

But he knew even more clearly that they were living, breathing people, from the same real world, and suffering real hardship.

"very good".

Without further hesitation, Xu Tian took out the Ender Box from his backpack and placed it steadily on the open ground in the center of the cave.

“Through this teleportation device, you can go directly to our city, where people are already waiting to arrange temporary accommodation and clean clothes for you.”

"Is this a magical item?"

Some people looked timidly at the strange box, both curious and fearful.

"You can understand it this way: it's very safe."

Feng Xue stood up and smiled encouragingly.

"It's as simple as walking through a door. Come on, don't be afraid."

Guided by the gentle yet steadfast wind and snow, the first woman mustered her courage, walked towards the Ender Chest, closed her eyes, and jumped inside. A flash of purple light, and her figure vanished.

With the first role model, others followed suit one after another, their figures disappearing into the purple light.

Xu Tian immediately switched his main consciousness to the Eshilia base, and using the administrator account [World Domination], he found Clara who was counting supplies at the edge of the square.

Clara.

The authoritative voice of the blocky administrator rang out.

"grown ups".

Clara immediately turned around and bowed respectfully.

"Prepare immediately. About five hundred women will be teleported here through the Ender Box shortly. They have just escaped their ordeal and are physically and mentally traumatized. They need the best possible care and accommodation."

"Assign a team of meticulous and reliable personnel, and prepare hot water, food, and..."

Xu Tian paused.

"Clean clothes".

"Yes, sir, we will do our utmost."

Clara nodded solemnly and agreed without hesitation.

"besides".

Xu Tian added.

“I have just started a new skill, textiles and garment making, and the relevant tools and methodologies are ready.”

"You should immediately organize people to learn and master the skills, and make decent and comfortable clothes for these new compatriots, and for yourselves."

"Clothing craftsmanship?"

Clara's eyes lit up instantly. She looked down at her rough and simple linen clothes and then thought of the miserable state of the newcomers who might be barely clothed. She immediately responded emphatically.

"Yes, sir, we'll begin immediately."

After giving his orders, Xu Tian's consciousness returned to the battlefield cave.

He watched as the last few women disappeared into the Ender Chest and said to the blizzard.

"Xiaoxue, I'll leave the finishing touches here to you. Remember to bring the box back. I'm going back to the base to arrange the follow-up."

"Don't worry, Brother Tian."

The wind and snow nodded, their gentle gaze sweeping across the now empty cave.

"I will keep an eye on the rest of the people."

Xu Tian said no more and leaped into the Ender Box, his figure engulfed by purple light.

Inside the base lord's mansion, Xu Tian walked straight into the specially set-out workshop.

"Textile machine: iron ingots, wooden planks, thread..."

"Dyeing table: iron bucket, glass plate,..."

"Sewing frame: wood, iron, scissors..."

He took out materials one by one and got busy at the workbench, referring to the detailed blueprint provided by the [Sacred Robe] module that was already imprinted in his mind.

One by one, devices that were different from real-world textile tools but conformed to the Minecraft composite images gradually took shape in his hands.

"For raw materials, start with the most basic cotton plant fibers. We should be able to find similar alternatives around the base. For dyeing materials, we can try both minerals and plants..."

As he operated the equipment, he was simultaneously planning the entire production chain in his mind.

"First, we'll mass-produce a batch of basic solid-color clothing to meet the immediate needs, and then gradually develop dyeing and styles..."
