Chapter 669: Everyone With Different Thoughts, A Genius Weaponry Developer Discovered in the Mountains! Part 1
It was freezing in Mountain Moon Village.
As the host, Feng Mengyue took out almost all their resources to organize a sincere welcoming feast.
Although the meat was limited, they had prepared plenty of wild vegetables with unique tastes, satisfying everyone’s taste buds.
Although there was no fine wine, there was mountain spring water that quenched and replenished everyone.
There were also endless bowls of pale yellow noodles, and everyone was served an ear of corn.
Feng Long did not stop moving his mouth even for a second during the meal, and even Su Mo could not help but praise the meal repeatedly.
“These wild vegetables taste incredible! We might be able to replace all those vegetables from the earth that cannot adapt to the environment here if we cultivate these wild vegetables and increase the production!”
Feng Mengyue, who sat beside him, smiled and nodded in agreement.
“Exactly, I’m not even scared that you might laugh at me, but I chose to set up my territory here because I noticed the unique terrain. It would save me a lot of trouble in the early stages. Additionally, I discovered these edible wild plants that grow in these mountains.
“They are rich in dietary fiber and are incredibly filling. They also have a very high nutritional value and can satisfy our bodies’ needs.
…
“It’s a pity I’ve only managed to collect some seeds after studying it for about half a month. Whether we can successfully cultivate them will have to wait till winter is over!”
Su Mo was glad to speak to an intelligent person as it saved a lot of time and effort.
He immediately understood the deeper meaning of her words and began to process his thoughts. First, he glanced around to observe those sitting around them and made sure that the refugees at the following table would not be able to hear their conversation.
“Why the wait? Are you going to be moving out soon?” he continued the conversation with a smile.
Great Mountain was a great location with countless natural benefits before the snow.
They had the mountains as natural barriers to defend their territory against enemy attacks and disasters.
The mountain was also filled with various natural resources that they could use as supplements for rations.
The mountain had almost everything they needed.
Even Su Mo would consider establishing a sub-territory here as a backup if it were not for the frequent disasters.
Unfortunately, all of these benefits vanished instantly after the snow fell.
It would take at least a few years for tens of meters of thick snow to melt before the vegetation below could be seen again, even if it was hot outside the mountains.
Moreover, the melted snow would inevitably spoil the mountain’s soil foundation.
It would be considered a large-scale natural disaster if a mudslide was triggered.
“Yeap. I planned to stay here for another three to five months and migrate to another location to develop when I have enough supplies if you hadn’t come along.
“However, since the Almighty Su is here, I definitely should take advantage of the situation. Don’t you agree?”
Feng Mengyue made a light joke and made everyone stop moving their chopsticks to laugh. She smiled, then switched to a more serious tone.
“Actually, I’ve long made plans to relocate my territory, but because of the increasing accumulation of resources, the preparations have taken a long time, and it’s been a headache for me.
“Under the current circumstances, even if I am willing to travel light with only a few essential supplies and relocate to start afresh, the people who followed me at the start would never agree.
“Their supplies, houses, and roots are in this mountain. It would be too much sacrifice to leave!”
Feng Mengyue looked helpless as she explained the current situation of her territory and gradually began to ramble about why she ended up here in the first place.
When the third ocean disaster struck…
As a relatively well-developed group of human beings, Feng Mengyue immediately decided to rush to the New World in advance.
On top of that, their execution was perfect.
As soon as the ocean levels rose, they rode in their multiple different-sized ships and headed directly toward the New World, hinted by the game without looking back.
Their journey took about ten days and reached the New World before the White Sand Ruins were opened.
Around that period, the foreigners had yet to arrive, and there was only a handful of humans in the New World.
Everywhere seemed to be filled with treasures and opportunities for development.
In reality, that was far from the truth.
Not only were they not able to enjoy the Pioneers Reward issued by the game after Su Mo defeated the Five Great Ancestral Gods, but they also did not enjoy the lucky bag benefits that would have been enough to get them through the difficult early stages because they left the ocean too early.
It took them six days to travel from the shore of the New World to a slightly central location by foot.
“I realized that everyone’s mental state was already weak and they basically reached their physical limits. During that time, I had no suitable terrain on the plains to defend ourselves against enemy attacks, nor did I have abundant resources to survive the early stages, but I still had to make a decision…”
