Chapter 769 New Arrangements
After Zhou Xu’s order was issued, Shi Lei and Li Ce quickly took action after receiving the order. The first step was naturally to explore the surrounding territory.
The exploration team headed by Shi Lei from Anling City set off soon.
Different from simply rushing on the road, the work of exploring new areas is often carried out steadily, and it is generally difficult to improve efficiency.
In comparison, Green Forest City's actions are faster.
It's not that they were more efficient in doing things, but after leaving Green Forest City and walking through the woodland outside the city, what appeared in front of them were towering mountains.
At the same time, the mountain walls facing Green Forest City are extremely steep and towering, making it almost impossible to climb normally. This also made Li Ce and the others basically give up the idea of climbing directly over the mountain.
In the past, their way was blocked by the mountain. Apart from slowly circling along the foot of the mountain to see if they could find a way around, there might be no other way.
But it’s different now, they have hot air balloons.
In addition to being used to transport people, it can also be used to explore new areas.
After taking off, the hot air balloon continued to increase its flight altitude, allowing them to easily cross the mountain and see the scene on the other side of the mountain.
“Surrounded by mountains, the terrain is low...”
In order to conveniently receive reports from both sides, Zhou Xu, who is now in the Lord’s Mansion of Black Rock City, is watching the reports sent by Li Ce latest report.
“Judging from the description in this report, over the mountains outside Green Forest City, going south is a large basin.”
While speaking, Zhou Xu picked up the pencil , and started scribbling and correcting on the paper in front of him. He was drawing a map at the moment.
[There is a large forest in this basin. Even if a hot air balloon is flying in the sky, you can't see what's in the forest. 】
【But it is all forest, which also shows that there are no forces developing inside. At most, there are some primitive tribes hidden, which is nothing to be afraid of. 】
After roughly marking the basin and forest, Zhou Xu turned his attention back to the report, and then his expression was startled.
“Good guy, the mountains on one side of the basin are actually connected to the mountains area. No, judging from this situation, the mountains on one side of the basin are part of the mountains area. ”
When flying over the mountains in a hot air balloon, Zhou Xu noticed that there were still many places within the mountains that they had not explored.
But that mountain area was actually connected to the newly discovered basin, and was even right next door to Green Forest City. Zhou Xu really didn't expect this.
In addition, while using the hot air balloon to understand the situation there, they also used the hot air balloon's aerial view to discover a canyon between two towering mountains that they could cross.
Li Ce has already tried it. Through the long canyon, he can successfully reach the woodland surrounded by mountains.
However, they did not go deep into it rashly. Instead, they chose to withdraw first, wrote this report, and asked Zhou Xu if he wanted to continue exploring in depth.
After all, judging from the intelligence obtained from the air, the forest area is quite large, and no one is sure what kind of threats lurk in it.
And just when Zhou Xu was thinking this, Shi Lei's initial report from Anling City was also sent over.
Also with the help of a hot air balloon, he discovered more than Li Ce.
In terms of terrain environment, it is a plain area similar to theirs.
With the advantage of the hot air balloon's field of vision, they discovered the existence of multiple cities. In order to prevent the other party from discovering them, the hot air balloon has always maintained a sufficient flying height, so the specific situation is not clear.
But what is certain is that there is a large and towering rock wall further away in the plain area. According to their preliminary observation, it is suspected that it is connected to the mountain wall on the other side of their desert beach.
At the end of the information, I also asked him for instructions on how to deal with it in the future.
After having Li Ce's report as a foreshadowing, now looking at Shi Lei's report, Zhou Xu has calmed down a lot, but his mind is spinning faster and faster, and some new thoughts have arisen. idea.
[According to my previous thoughts, the fragments of this world are drawn to each other after random encounters, and then they are spliced together. However, judging from the findings in the two reports, it does not seem to be the case. so. 】
【If Li Ce and Shi Lei's discovery was just an accident, the fit between the two world fragments would be a little too high. 】
[Compared to this speculation, I prefer to believe that when the original world was still complete, these two world fragments were adjacent. In other words, only two adjacent land parcels would pull each other and eventually join together. At the same time, this will not happen in other world fragments! 】
At this time, Zhou Xu was undoubtedly more inclined to this guess.
After sorting out his thoughts, Zhou Xu did not dwell on this issue for too long. The more important thing now was to make arrangements for the new situation on the border between Shi Lei and Li Ce.
Laying out a new piece of paper, Zhou Xu took up his pen and wrote down the follow-up arrangements.
They have just ended a war in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they need time to digest the large number of new people. Right now, it is business to focus all their energy on internal development.
With this idea in mind, Zhou Xu's arrangement for the strange city that Shi Lei and the others discovered in Anling City was to stay hidden first and wait and see what happens.
As for the basin forest discovered by Li Ce and others, the situation was different. Zhou Xu gave an order to send out a reconnaissance team for in-depth reconnaissance.
After all, judging from the current situation, there are at most some primitive tribes hiding inside.
In Zhou Xu's eyes, primitive tribes are the replenishment point of population and labor force. Although there are not many people in a tribe, mosquito legs are still meat no matter how small they are.
The most important thing is the temperament of the tribe members, who are often much simpler than the people here in the New World.
After being recruited, they can easily be transformed into people who are extremely loyal to their great Zhou people, which is good. This is also the biggest reason why Zhou Xu is happy to recruit primitive tribes.
In this way, for the same reason, the mountainous areas that have not been thoroughly explored before have recently been divided into several teams and continue to explore.
After receiving the order, advancing and retreating, Shi Lei and Li Ce followed Zhou Xu's instructions and took different actions.
Out of caution, Li Ce first found a suitable location in the canyon and set up a frontline camp so that they could store survival supplies.
At the same time, if something unexpected happens during the mission, they can also have a place to retreat and rest.
But even Li Ce himself didn't expect that this accident would come so quickly.
After passing through the long canyon, the reconnaissance team they sent here had not completely approached the forest. In the forest, a sharp arrow quickly shot through the air and pierced them. on the land before.
"Don't come any closer, outsider! If you continue to come closer, the arrows behind you will no longer land on the ground!"
