Lord of the People: My Troops Have Mutated

Early the next morning.

Lin You took the citizens who signed up for mining to the barren mountains behind Huangsha City and began to arrange for them to collect ore.

Lin You took a walk around the area.

Sure enough, as Xue Changgui said, there are two mines dug manually, leading directly to the iron ore and copper veins underneath.

And the mineral content is extremely amazing, even far beyond Lin You's imagination.

"Because the underground rock formations around us are relatively shallow, veins like this can be seen everywhere."

Xu Zhong, who was standing aside, explained in time.

Xue Changgui was too old to go up the mountain, so he sent him to follow Lin You and lead the way.

Hearing his explanation, Lin You's eyes lit up: "Is there such a thing? Then why did the previous lord choose to leave in the end?"

You know, having such a huge mineral vein near the territory is definitely a unique advantage for a lord.

No matter how many people grabbed it, the lord actually gave it up. It was really hard to understand, or stupid.

Xu Zhong didn't seem to dare to comment on other lords, and said with a wry smile: "Lord, you also know that we are in a remote location and the environment is harsh. Apart from this mineral vein, there is nothing we can ask for. Not many people can bear it, and the same goes for that lord. It took me a month to move out."

"That's true."

Lin You nodded silently.

The environment in Huangsha City is really not something ordinary people can endure.

If it weren't for his extremely strong plant survival ability, he probably wouldn't be able to survive.

Looking back now, it seems that he still earned it?

The emergence of these veins immediately solved his ore resource problem, and he could even build many buildings that he had not dared to build before, and could also be used to build the defenses of Huangsha City.

It was a complete surprise for him.

This abandoned city didn't seem to be as bad as he imagined.

Thinking of this, Lin You suddenly felt infinite energy and began to distribute the mining tools that had just been made in the [Production Workshop], and called on the citizens to start collecting ore, and then transport it back to the territory.

In order to improve their lives, the residents were naturally very motivated and worked hard on digging. After a while, there was a clanging sound in the mine, and the scene was quite lively.

After looking at the place for a while to confirm that there was nothing wrong, Lin You left the mountains with the plants around him and rushed back to the territory.

On the way back, he also took a look at the newly cultivated land and found that the seeds planted the day before yesterday still showed no signs of germination.

Not to mention the second and third batches planted later, there was no movement at all.

It seems that there is no water source for irrigation, and even his special seeds grow extremely slowly, which is a bit difficult to handle.

Lin You couldn't help but frown.

"Lord, you are here."

At this time, Xue Changgui, who was inspecting the condition of the farmland in the distance, also spotted Lin You and hurriedly came up to meet him.

"Why are you here?" Lin You turned his head in surprise.

"I have nothing to do, so come and take a look at the condition of the farmland." Xue Changgui smiled awkwardly, "I wonder what the lord's orders are for coming here specially?"

"Nothing, I just stopped by to take a look at the condition of the farmland. I didn't expect it to grow so slowly."

"Are you talking about these seeds?" Xue Changgui looked at the newly renovated farmland next to him, "It is indeed much slower than other places."

"But there's nothing we can do about it. Who said the environment here is not good? In the past, we could only grow some cassava and other things to make ends meet. The seeds given by the lord can grow in such a place. It's already very good. incredible."

"Then haven't you ever thought about connecting to the water source before?" Lin You asked.

"Of course I have thought about it, but apart from a few dry wells with some water nearby, where is the source of water?"

Xue Changgui looked around at the desolate land around him and couldn't help but sigh.

As an old man here, why doesn't he hope that this place can get better?

It is precisely because of the fruitless efforts of generations that so many people finally choose to leave their homes and flee to other places.

After all, they are just ordinary people, and their abilities are always limited.

Lin You stood aside and could naturally feel his helplessness, his eyes a little solemn.

During this time, he had not thought about solving the water source problem, and even arranged for the Wood Demon Dragon to go out to explore the surrounding area every day to find water sources.

But the result was nothing, no discovery.

There is such a big problem. Even if he wants to improve the living environment in Huangsha City, there is nothing he can do.

Whoosh——

Just as he was thinking about it, a sound broke through the air.

The wood demon dragon that went out to explore the water source just flew back from outside.

Originally, Lin You was mentally prepared to return disappointed, but unexpectedly, news suddenly came from the Wood Demon Dragon that the water source had been found.

"Find the water source!?"

Lin You was shocked and immediately rushed forward.

Through his contact with the Wood Demonic Dragon, he quickly confirmed the matter, and he immediately followed the Wood Demonic Dragon in great joy and hurried to the mountains on the edge of the Gobi.

When he led the plants over the mountains and came to a mountain stream five kilometers away, he saw an underground river gurgling under a deep crater that had been blasted out.

Isn't it the water source he is looking for?

I found out after some questioning.

It turned out that the fun-loving Mushroom Demon King secretly rode on the back of the Wood Demon Dragon while he was going to the mine, and ran out to wander around.

When I saw small animals running underneath, I threw a few explosive mushrooms down.

As a result, the small animal was not exploded, but instead an underground river was exploded.

I really don’t know whether to scold it or praise it.

"Forget it, considering your meritorious service, I won't blame you this time."

Lin You patted the Mushroom Demon King on the head.

The Mushroom Demon King, who was still huddled in the corner, suddenly started jumping up and down happily again.

When Lin You saw this, he immediately smiled bitterly, ignored it, and rushed back towards the territory again.

Although the water source was found, it was far away from the territory.

A full five kilometers.

And it's still underground on rocky ground.

If it weren't for the explosive power of the Mushroom Demon King, I'm afraid it would be impossible to explode such a deep rock. No wonder the citizens of Huangsha City didn't discover this underground river for so long.

And even if it is discovered, I am afraid that we will not be able to open a channel on the rock.

Of course, this kind of thing is not difficult for a lord, at most it will take a little more time.

So after returning to the territory, Lin You immediately used the magic energy accumulated in the past two days to recruit fifth-level grass and tree spirits to undergo mutations.

Good luck this time.

When it mutated to the ninth time, two exploding mushrooms appeared.

Including the Mushroom Demon King and the one that mutated the day before yesterday, there are four explosive mushrooms in total.

The ditch blasting team is established!

Then Lin You led the demolition team and several other plants in a mighty rush toward the underground river.

The residents were extremely excited when they received the news.

They mobilized one after another and picked up tools to dig up the land outside the city, preparing to dig out a river to collect water.

Even the women and children spontaneously joined in the process of carrying soil and making water-proof materials.

at the same time.

Lin You also led the plant army to the underground river, estimated the height, and began to let the mushrooms blast a channel on the rocks next to the underground river.

For a time, the sound of explosions continued to echo in the mountains, and a wide passage gradually appeared, extending in the direction of Huangsha City.

As for the gaps and loopholes that appeared along the way, the local residents who came here used water-proof materials to seal them up, and the water could be drained immediately after they were completely dry.

The citizens are united as one, and there are busy figures everywhere outside the city and between the mountains.

It was not until noon on the fourth day that the water channel was finally opened and connected to the moat they dug outside the city wall.

All the cracks and holes along the way have been repaired.

The citizens were eagerly awaiting the news, gathering with their families outside the city, and even the men responsible for mining hurried back.
