Campfire Shelter

"I didn't steal it, I caught this myself!"

The child argued with a childish voice that was slightly hoarse, and his two little hands couldn't help but use their strength to pinch out the mole's tongue.

Colin was about to comfort him, but suddenly he was stunned:

"Hmm? Are you a girl?"

The child was less than 1.2 meters tall, undeveloped and dirty. At first glance, Colin always thought he was a little boy when they met him twice. Unexpectedly, it was only after he opened his mouth that he realized he was a little girl.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry, I blamed you wrongly."

"Ah" the little girl who was about to say something was stunned. She was ready to be beaten, but she didn't expect that the other party would actually apologize to her.

You know, for a "big shot" like this, no matter whether he is right or wrong, as long as he dares to talk back, he may be beaten to death!

"Haha, I know, it feels uncomfortable to be wronged. I also experienced it when I was a child. Well, I solemnly apologize to you. This is my apology gift."

Colin said kindly, took out a milk-white rabbit candy from his pocket, and stuffed it into the little girl's mouth before she could react.

In fact, he has always hated brats, but those who are well-behaved and sensible are different.

The little girl who had just reacted felt the sweetness melting in her mouth, and her whole jaw felt sore - this was the first time she had eaten something so sweet!

The kind of milky fragrance and sweetness that I have never experienced before.

"Okay, the injury is not a big problem."

After roughly treating her main injuries, Colin stood up and pointed to his current territory in the direction of the town:

"Will you go over there with me? I will give you food and a place to live. As long as I am still alive, I will save more children like you who have nowhere to go, teach you some knowledge, and raise you. Then the future is yours to choose."

This time, unlike trying to make pie with the employees, Colin actually decided to do this. Looking at these children, he couldn't help but think of his own childhood.

From a broken small family to the old dean’s big family.

Colin feels that he is quite lucky.

Now he plans to extend his luck.

The little girl looked along where he pointed. Only some mountains could be vaguely seen a few kilometers away, but nothing else. She looked back and looked at Colin's side face, staring at him blankly.

After a while, she suddenly became frustrated:

"But we have no money"

She looked at the two moles in her hand nervously.

Although they are indeed very fat, they obviously cannot afford such a price, or even the price of that sweet thing in their mouths.

This "good thing" scared her very much.

However, feeling the tone in Colin's words, she did not run away like before.

"Your ability to grow up is a reward for me."

Colin smiled and reached out to touch her head. He had always been doing numb tasks when he came to "World No. 13". After he had something he wanted to do, he suddenly felt that his mood had improved a lot.

And at this moment, he turned his head and looked behind him:

"Are those your companions?"

At this moment, the children seemed to be getting closer, holding stones in their hands, as if they were ready to give him a hard blow.

'You are not very old, but you are quite courageous. ’

Colin muttered in his heart.

"Well, can you take them with you?" the little girl asked.

"Of course, call them over."

Hearing this, the little girl's eyes lit up, and her black eyes seemed to become a little red due to changes in emotions. However, she seemed to realize something, and quickly shifted her gaze, tilted her head, and glanced at Colin secretly. When she saw that he seemed Not paying attention, he breathed a sigh of relief.

‘There’s something really wrong with this kid, those eyes. ’

A doubt arose in Colin's heart, but he only comforted her now, so he didn't rush to ask questions immediately to avoid irritating the other party.

"By the way, what's your name?" Colin asked the question again.

Hearing this, the little girl shook her head first, and then whispered: "I don't have a name, but they all call me 'Red'."

No name, this should be a nickname, right?

Colin was not very surprised by this situation, because many of the refugees and disaster victims did not have names, nor were they qualified to have names, and only some had nicknames.

"Then call you Xiaohong."

She didn't bother about this. At Xiaohong's greeting, the children who wanted to "rescue" her all jumped out. After explaining the misunderstanding, Colin took out the "Smiling Corpse Mountain".

The next moment, the corpse on the ground melted, and a huge black ball of flesh rose from the ground.

After calming the shocked and frightened children, Colin led them up the mountain of corpses and set off towards the territory:

"Pippi, let's go!"

Corpse Mountain stretched out its thick hands instead of its feet, carrying a group of people and rushing towards the territory. And because Colin used the "Emblem of the Humble Knight", it didn't cause much reaction along the way——

It just always feels like something is missing.

"oops."

Suddenly, Colin slapped his head and remembered that he had not brought the "brave" sack that he had just thrown on the ground, so he drove the Smiling Corpse Mountain back to the original place to take them with him, and then returned to the territory.

After more than a day of going back and forth, everything in the territory was normal except that there were more people.

However, Colin soon discovered that in addition to the refugees, there were hundreds of soldiers he had never seen before in the territory.

After Colin came back, Li Ming quickly received the message and temporarily put down his work and came over.

"Those soldiers were brought by Calder's nephew, saying they were here to help, but I feel like they have bad intentions. Should we drive them away?"

"Kick him away? Why?" Colin was surprised.

"This traitor."

"It doesn't matter, there is indeed a shortage of labor force now, especially those who can understand clearly. I estimate that these 'traitors' work more diligently than ordinary soldiers in order to obtain information."

Colin waved his hand, indicating that it was harmless, and his strength gave him the confidence to say this.

In Li Ming's eyes, the so-called traitors are just one labor force after another in his eyes.

"Okay." Li Ming nodded, then looked at the children following Colin and the sack of people that Colin handed over to several "sluts" to hold.

"These are the 'braves' I just rescued."

"You said they were the unlucky ones." Li Ming was surprised.

Colin told them the story of those unlucky "braves" before. Unexpectedly, he went out before, and it turned out to be for this matter.

But then he thought about it, Li Ming rubbed the dark circles on his eyes, and suddenly became excited: "Then are they..."

After all, I have gone through nine years of compulsory education. It is definitely no problem to dedicate myself as a senior labor force here!

"Don't think about it for now. They didn't come through formal channels, nor are they employees of Bonfire Company. They have language communication problems, and they are injured. By the way, they need to take care of their injuries. Come back and find Lin Yilan."

"All right."

Li Ming felt sad, then looked at Colin's side, "By the way, who are these?"

"You don't want them to attack you, do you?" Colin looked strange.

"No, just asking casually." Li Ming shook his head.

Noticing his gaze, Xiaohong hid behind Colin nervously, pulling on the hem of his clothes nervously.

It seemed that her eyes turned red again due to the change in mood.

Although there was no evidence, Colin had a hunch that if her eyes remained red, something bad would most likely happen.

‘It seems I have to take her with me, otherwise something will go wrong. ’ Colin thought secretly, without saying anything on his face:

"Well, let's make arrangements for some homeless children to live in the church first."

Colin reached out and touched her head to comfort her. After making arrangements, he asked about the situation of others——

Lin Yilan and the nun rescued people together, while Tang Ken led some people to simply make some basic props, and then went out to try to reclaim farmland and develop wasteland.

In fact, there are many people in this world who know how to open up wasteland for farming, but most of the time they are unable to do so.

This is because land reclamation is a laborious job in this era. If there is not enough food and protein to support a thousand refugees, if they go out to reclaim wasteland and have no food or tools, it is estimated that more than half of them will die of exhaustion and starvation in a few days.

Everything about food is in the hands of the nobles. Only when they are willing to reclaim wasteland can ordinary people reclaim it.

Colin is also short of food, but with the hundreds of 25 boys whose physiques are several times stronger than ordinary people, the problem is not big.

After briefly understanding the situation in the territory, Colin nodded with satisfaction.

In the next few days, just as he thought, the 25 boys worked harder than the average person. Thanks to their selfless dedication, the entire territory finally restored a lot of order from chaos.

Three days passed in a row, and everything was developing in an orderly manner.

Just looking at the increasingly dark circles in the eyes of Li Ming and others, Colin suddenly felt guilty, and then came up with some thoughts——

"Is there any way to enable them to work for seven consecutive days without reducing their work efficiency due to fatigue?"

While thinking, Colin probably had some ideas.

"Now they still need to rest. It's time to improve their strength. If they can complete the injection of F-level genetic compensation medicine and cooperate with the 'colorless crystal', there should be no dark circles even if they work for seven consecutive days."

In this way, his conscience will feel better.

However, just when Colin was thinking about going out to improve the strength of his employees, Sister Vanessa suddenly ran over excitedly and told him a piece of bombshell news——

Soon after, the Saint of the "Light" Sect, who is now the highest-ranking person in the "Light" Sect, the number one person under God, and the saint who walks on the earth, will be able to pass by here!

ps: Please give me a monthly ticket for a ball, and see if there is a chance for a monthly ticket of 1,000 yuan, so that I can fulfill my dream of having a monthly ticket of more than 1,000 yuan for many years.
