Chapter 74 Healing
After discussing it with Xu Jiang, they agreed to meet up with the other lords at Chenguang Fortress, Xu Jiang's territory, the next morning, and then activate the otherworld map together.
Of course, Xu Jiang also subtly reminded everyone that there would be a "test of troops" at that time, similar to the "test of capital" conducted by some business tycoons during peacetime.
The requirements are: no fewer than 80 Tier 1 troops, no fewer than 30 Tier 2 troops, and no fewer than 10 Tier 3 troops. These are mandatory. There are no requirements regarding the level of the lord hero. Furthermore, if there are higher-level troops available, there is no limit to the number; as long as they are available, they will be considered a bonus.
To be honest, the requirements aren't high, and the threshold is very low, but it's a little difficult for Lin Mo.
The dungeon also produced level two and level three troops, and in considerable numbers. However, the problem is that he still needs to guard the entire underground world. After all, the number of the first batch of lords is increasing at this stage, and who knows when one of them might find the entrance to the underground world. Faced with such a large 'virgin land', no lord can ignore it; they will definitely want to go in and get a share.
Therefore, it is essential to have guards stationed at outposts.
Lin Mo even wanted to find a divinely gifted hero to help him protect himself.
Of course, other survivors can also lead troops, but they cannot stack or group troops, nor can they use magic or hero stat boosts to increase troop combat and defense.
In fact, Lin Mo had already found a suitable person to do this.
After leaving the tavern, Lin Mo went to the safe zone camp outside Dawnlight Fortress.
Survivors flock here every day, and in the future, this siphon effect on ordinary people will become stronger around the relatively safe territory. After all, you really can't stay in the wilderness of the new world without some skills. Moreover, there is a terrible rule in the new world: every once in a while, new monsters will 'refresh' in the wilderness.
To varying degrees, these are all potential threats to ordinary people.
So the safe zone was very lively, with tents stretching out in rows. If you looked down from above, it would be quite a spectacular sight.
Chen Jie had already purchased some medicine from some capable people in the camp, which were actually some antibiotic pills. She gave them to Hu Zhigang, who had a fever, and his condition improved somewhat.
It's also because Hu Zhigang is a very good person. He takes good care of others, is upright, and is always willing to help others. That's why Chen Jie didn't abandon him at this critical moment. Otherwise, if it were anyone else, they would have starved to death, let alone have a fever.
Death is not uncommon here. Humans are extremely adaptable. After all, those who cannot adapt either stink or go mad. And the result of going mad is that they will eventually become a rotting corpse.
Every day, there are "corpse collectors" who are specifically responsible for handling corpses, dragging them around. Everyone is used to it. Men, women, young and old eat and drink as usual, and no one finds it strange.
However, most of them are like the walking dead, filled with uncertainty about the future.
Chen Jie was the same way before. She agreed to Sister Juan's suggestion to sell her body because she couldn't see any hope.
In chaotic times, this is the last resort for survival.
But her mental state was different now; she kept looking outside, waiting for someone.
Nearby, Sister Juan and her group of women were eating the food Chen Jie had packed back today. At this point, they didn't care about anything anymore; they didn't want to leave a single shred of meat, and they gnawed the pork chop bones clean, like a work of art that had been handled for a long time.
"Xiao Jie, what did that Brother Lin do before?"
"It's my colleague!"
"Brother Lin is amazing now, a lord! He's on the same level as Teacher Xu. No wonder he can sit at the same table and talk to her. He has such a grand presence. I'm so envious. I wonder how he became a lord, Xiao Jie, do you know?"
That's just a standard line.
As mentioned before, Chen Jie isn't stupid. She glanced sideways at Sister Juan and said, "I don't know. You can ask him yourself."
Sister Juan gave an embarrassed smile; she wouldn't dare.
"Xiao Jie, don't blame me for asking, I'm just curious. With Brother Lin around, you're bound to be rich. Don't forget about us sisters!"
"Yes, yes, Sister Jie, don't forget me when you become rich and powerful!"
Several women nearby also chimed in.
Chen Jie wasn't in the mood for idle chatter; she didn't know if Lin Mo would come.
Although Lin Mo agreed, just like in business, he couldn't feel at ease until the money was in his pocket.
So she kept waiting, staring at anyone walking towards her from a distance to see if it was him.
Only at that moment did she truly understand what it meant for "each day to feel like a year".
Finally, she saw a familiar figure.
She got up almost immediately and rushed over.
"Lin Mo!" She went up to him, her face still a little red, but she bravely looked at the man in front of her, and even felt her heart beating very fast and loudly because of nervousness.
"Pack your things, take Gang with you, and come with me," Lin Mo said succinctly.
Without saying a word, Chen Jie immediately did as instructed. She didn't ask why or where they were going.
Even if she was curious, she wouldn't ask.
Sister Juan and the other women also came over, but they didn't dare to say much. They just tried their best to help pack things up and helped Hu Zhigang stand up.
The latter did not faint; he simply smiled weakly at Lin Mo.
"Wait a minute, this won't do!" Lin Mo looked at Hu Zhigang's condition. Due to hunger and prolonged malnutrition, his body was already very weak. Coupled with the disease, he was almost on the verge of becoming a cripple.
Even if he didn't need Gang Ge's help in the future, he couldn't just stand by and watch, even if it was just for the sake of their past relationship.
Given this situation, Gang Ge might not be able to pull through.
"Help me support him and come with me." As soon as Lin Mo finished speaking, Sister Juan and the other women immediately helped Hu Zhigang by supporting him on both sides, and two others helped carry his things.
Some trash is unnecessary.
Chen Jie acted swiftly and decisively, packing only a bag of clothes and some necessities, leaving nothing else behind.
Lin Mo led his men out, but instead of heading to the underground city, they headed towards Dawnlight Fortress.
This immediately attracted a lot of attention.
Dawnfortress is an ideal paradise for survivors; they dream of living there.
The wall, and the row of crossbowmen on it, embody something called "security," and security is the most precious treasure of this era.
Many people yearn for it but cannot obtain it.
"Who is this person?"
"Never seen it before, but it's definitely not safe to get in. Just wait and see."
The next second, the guards on the castle wall saw Lin Mo and instantly recognized him as the Covenant Lord, so they immediately opened the city gate.
"..."
Many people outside were bewildered.
This includes Chen Jie and Sister Juan, among others.
Chen Jie was alright, but Sister Juan was both shocked and scared, and her calves even cramped up a bit.
This is Dawnlight Fortress, how did we just walk in like this?
Nobody stopped them.
At that moment, she even felt a sense of pride and satisfaction.
She could even imagine the expressions on the faces of the survivors behind her as they witnessed this scene.
Yes, that's right, I'm one of those people who can enter Morning Light Castle now.
This is just like how they used to pool their money to take photos at high-end hotels and entertainment venues, create nine-grid photos, and post them on WeChat Moments and XHS.
It's just to show off and satisfy that sense of vanity.
Within the territory, everything appeared to be fine: the ground was paved with stones, the buildings were neatly arranged, and the soldiers stood in imposing and orderly ranks, clad in armor and wielding spears.
Furthermore, the majestic griffin perched atop a tall tower, with eyes like those of an eagle, was so striking that one dared not look directly at it.
"Ah, I really want to live here." At this moment, every pore on Sister Juan's body opened up, and she was so excited that her toes were digging into the ground.
A woman approached with several gunmen, looking at Lin Mo with some wariness.
"Who are you? How did you get in?"
"I'm looking for Teacher Xu." Lin Mo guessed that this woman was probably Xu Jiang's deputy, and that she was unaware that she had formed an alliance with this place.
The woman was somewhat surprised. She looked Lin Mo up and down again before saying, "Wait here."
When you're done, turn around and leave.
A short while later, Xu Jiang arrived with his men.
"Brother Lin, what an honor to have you here! Come in and let's talk." Xu Jiang clearly knew that since he had just parted ways with Lin Mo and the other party had come looking for him again, there must be something on his mind.
Lin Mo didn't stand on ceremony. He looked at a building inside Morninglight Castle and said, "Teacher Xu, the probability of the first-level magic tower of the castle's forces having the first-level water magic 'Healing' is quite high. I have a friend who is sick, and if this magic exists, I would like you to help him heal."
