Chapter 128 Building the City Wall
The orcs were divided into two groups, and the captains were Xia Qing and Mo Ye.
A team led by Xia Qing is responsible for cutting stones and transporting them back to the tribe.
The second team led by Mo Ye was responsible for digging the foundation of the city wall and stacking the city wall.
The two brigades were divided into several teams, such as those responsible for cutting stones, those responsible for transporting stones, those responsible for digging foundations, and those responsible for collecting clay.
All teams have their own tasks and areas. They perform their duties, busy but orderly.
In just half a day's work, a circle of foundations was dug out around the tribe that was seventy or eighty centimeters deep and nearly one meter wide.
Not only that, there are many large stones of the same size placed along the foundation!
All the males are busy until night falls.
In the tribal square, almost all the females came out wearing thick animal skin clothes.
Of course, the cave opened up the kitchen and except for the orcs.
Around the fire, the females set up stone pots one by one, and they were busy around the stone pots.
The wind is quite strong in the cold season.
The wind was blowing loudly, blowing the fire in the fire and swaying from side to side, but it did not affect the piping hotness of the stew in the stone pot.
When the males, who had been busy for a long time nervously, came back in the dark, and then had a delicious meal made by their own female, the fatigue of the half day was instantly dissipated.
There are dozens of males without females, but they eat the food made by a dozen unmarried females. The feeling in their hearts is not to mention how beautiful it is.
In the next few days, according to this half-day rhythm, the orcs in the entire tribe were busy nervously and orderly.
The change visible to the naked eye is that a one-meter-thick city wall is rising little by little outside the Phaeton tribe.
Su Yu has truly seen with her own eyes what "there is strength in numbers".
In just three and a half days from the time of digging the foundation, two-thirds of the Phaeton Tribe's perimeter, excluding the mountain, has been built high above the ground. On the four-meter city wall!
After another two days, the remaining third finally built a high wall. Only an opening more than two meters wide is left, which is intended to be used as the gate of the city wall.
The city gate is made of half-meter-thick templates. Behind the gate, two tough thick wooden sticks are used to make two door latches.
On the eighth day of the cold season, a team led by Xia Qing went to the forest and cut down many small trees as thick as an orc's arm.
Mo Ye, who was in charge of the second team, dug a "moat" three meters wide and half a meter deep half a meter outside the wall.
On the ninth day of the cold season, the "moat" was filled with sharpened tree trunks.
In addition, inside the city wall, at a certain distance, an elevated wooden house is built with wood, ten in total. It is a duty wooden house specially built for the daily guard orcs!
On the tenth day of the cold season, when the morning light shines on this continent, the earth is already silvery white.
When Su Yu woke up, Xia Na told her that it had snowed before dawn.
At dawn, the snow on the ground was already a palm deep.
When Su Yu heard this, he was so shocked that he no longer knew what words to use to express his inner surprise.
The depth of Shana's palm must be 16 to 17 centimeters!
Then how much snow must have fallen!
As a southern child who had never seen snow with her own eyes even in the last days, Su Yu suddenly felt a little moved.
I was so excited that I wanted to run outside the cave and see with my own eyes what the snow was falling and what the world was wrapped in silver.
Just try to do it if you think of it.
After talking to Xia Na who was still busy in the kitchen, Su Yu quickly put on the cold-resistant windproof hat that she had just spent 45 points to redeem two days ago, and then put on the one that she had redeemed with 120 points. A long thick down jacket,
After making sure that she was wrapped up, Su Yu planned to open the door and go out. Seeing Su Yu's high spirits, Xia Na knew that even if he repeatedly emphasized that it was colder outside, Su Yu would definitely go out.
Pushing the firewood in the stove, Shana clapped his hands and walked out of the kitchen.
"Xiao Yu'er, wait, I'll go out with you!" Xia Na's long legs reached Su Yu's side in a few steps.
Su Yu's hand on the door latch paused and she tilted her head to look at Xia Na.
"It's okay Xana, I'll just stand at the entrance of the cave for a while, I won't go far!"
What Su Yu didn't say is that even if she goes far, because the city wall was built, as long as she doesn't leave tribe, then there will be no danger at all!
Xia Na did not speak when he heard this, but gently pulled Su Yu behind him. After making sure that he was protecting her tightly, he reached out and opened the door latch.
The moment she opened the door, Su Yu could still hear the whistling wind even though she was wearing a windproof hat.
Even my eyes were blown to tears by the biting cold wind because they were not covered.
Xia Na came out of the cave and stood upwind of Su Yu, trying to block the cold wind for her.
Su Yu glanced at the tall figure blocking her side. While warmth rose in her heart, she silently activated her wind power.
Xia Na suddenly found that the wind in his ears had become quieter.
Looking at the direction in which the snowflakes were falling, and then at Su Yu who was watching the falling snow with great interest, Xia Na turned his eyes away silently.
That’s all, no matter what happens, as long as Xiao Yu’er is happy!
Su Yu is indeed very happy.
This was the first time she saw goose feather snow!
Whether it was before or after the apocalypse, Su Yu had never left Province G.
After the apocalypse, there were cold weather, but it only lasted for a month and a half, with the lowest temperature being around minus three or four degrees Celsius.
But in that month and a half, there was not a single snowfall in Province G!
Su Yu took one hand out of her coat pocket and spread her palm, trying to catch the flying snowflakes.
However, no matter how big the snowflake was, it melted within a short time of falling into Su Yu's hand.
"Crack-crack~"
The branches of the small tree outside the cave could not bear the weight of the snow, and eventually the branches were broken, and the snowflakes were shaken off.
Su Yu knelt down, grabbed a handful of snow, formed it into a snowball, and then threw it towards a tree not far away.
There was another "swish".
The snow on the branches fell rustlingly.
The palms of my hands are cold, and the wind makes them even more uncomfortable.
Su Yu finally got over her addiction to the snow and returned to the cave honestly.
Because of the heavy snow and the city wall, except for the daily guards, almost all the orcs of the Phaeton tribe stayed in the cave to warm themselves by the fire.
The guards in the cold season are not the same as the patrols in ordinary times.
During breakfast, Shana told Su Yu that his guard mission was scheduled for today's dark night.
Although the city wall was built, due to the special circumstances of this year's cold season, the orcs of the tribe still did not dare to relax their vigilance at all.
The guards were divided into two teams day and night, with ten orcs in each team.
Because there are flying orcs such as eagles and beasts among the orcs, Shanat specially told Su Yu to put the door bolt in place when sleeping at night!
Second update. Good night
