Infinite Bloodcore

Chapter 146: Our own people

"Lin Zhen actually happened!" Zhen Jin quickly rushed back from the wild.

When the earthquake occurred, he was still training in the crocodile-headed hammer-tailed anaconda form.

To Zhenjin's relief, he rushed back to the valley and did not see a chaotic scene.

Although he was not there, Cangxu, Zidi, and Zongge joined forces to quickly stabilize the situation and began to clean up the camp.

The scale of the earthquake was not large, and it went away quickly as it came.

The keel and masts of the clearing in the valley that worried Zhen Jin were not damaged. The wooden roof above the construction site was the biggest contributor this time. It firmly withstood the falling gravel and protected the results of everyone's work.

After inspection, it was found that a lot of debris had accumulated on the wooden roof, holes had been smashed in many places, and more wooden boards were covered with cracks.

With a solemn look on his face, Mu Ban reported to Zhen Jin: "Sir, the wooden ceiling not only needs to be renovated, but also needs to be reinforced."

Zong Ge frowned: "We have been on this island for so long and we have never experienced an earthquake."

Even though he was as strong as an orc, he felt very powerless in the face of this disaster.

Zidi said: "Is this the only earthquake? To be honest, I always have a bad feeling. If earthquakes happen again, then our current residence will be very dangerous."

Everyone lives in caves. Once a stronger earthquake occurs and the mountain collapses, those sleeping in caves will basically be crushed to death or buried alive.

And shipbuilding has also become a big problem.

Originally, they arranged the construction site in the valley to use the terrain to build a shipyard, saving a lot of labor, materials and time.

But now if earthquakes continue to occur, the valley will become a dangerous place, far less than a dew or a gentle place.

This time, only some rocks were broken on the mountain. If the earthquake was more severe and the big rocks rolled down, the ship would probably suffer huge damage.

Zhen Jin sighed, and then said decisively: "This is the result of the big man going crazy. He is giving us a warning."

Cang Xu on the side was stunned for a moment, then nodded with great approval: "That's true. It seems that the big man plays a decisive role. His illness is a great thing for us!"

Zhen Jin glanced at Cang Xu with admiration, and then said: "Don't live in the cave tonight. Let's use tents to live in the wild first."

"Starting from tomorrow, we will see the trees around the valley and clear a large clearing. We will make slide rails, at least one section of which will extend from the clearing in the valley. If an earthquake occurs, we can quickly remove important hull components Move out quickly.”

After finishing the needlework, his eyes scanned the surrounding area, and then stopped on the thin rope.

Xisuo's face changed slightly, and he immediately realized Zhenjin's intention of letting him continue to promote. He nodded slightly, greeted Zhenjin, and then quietly retreated.

Zhen Jin knew very well that just this one time, the big man going crazy could serve as a warning, but it was actually very unreliable.

This is just an excuse, but it can change everyone's perception of the big man a lot.

Needle gold requires big men to get back to work, and such an important workforce is needed.

Others may have complaints and opinions, but in this situation, Zhenjin can no longer take care of it.

The most basic responsibility of a leader is to prioritize.

"To be honest, President Zidi and I feel the same way. Earthquakes have never happened before, and now they suddenly happen. It seems that some drastic change has happened somewhere we don't know about. Everything is starting to go wrong."

"Next, we must try our best to build a seaworthy ship as quickly as possible."

At this point, Zhen Jin looked at the boatman with sharp eyes.

"No matter what you do, you have to compress the schedule."

“If you can cut corners, then cut corners!”

“We first need a ship that can sail, and the subsequent projects that can be carried out on the ship will be left to the time of sailing.”

The shipwright quickly bent down to accept the order: "I understand, sir."

The shipwright worked all night long to create a new shipbuilding sketch.

Different from the original sketch, the size of the new ship has been reduced by one-fifth, and many cabins have been eliminated.

Originally, everyone had hammocks to sleep in, but now, in the place where the hammocks are, there are only some patterns of straw mats left.

A complete mast was originally connected. All mast heights are now reduced by at least half. If the mast needs to be raised in the future, it will be spliced ​​during the voyage.

In addition to artillery, the original drawing also included more than a dozen ballistae. But now there are still three artillery pieces, and the number of ballistae has been reduced by half.

The artillery was salvaged from the wreckage of the Pig Kiss. ​​The original plan was to build a dozen ballistas to replace the artillery to a certain extent.

Ocean navigation cannot be done without firepower

Whether it's fishmen, sea monsters, or pirates, they are all huge threats to ships on voyages.

But now there are no more crossbows. As for the crossbows in the drawings, they are all that the camp currently has.

"There is no need to make so many sails. We can let people contribute their own clothes and splice these clothes together to form a simple sail. In fact, it is also possible for men to go shirtless." In order to minimize the construction period, the shipwrights also worked hard.

Zhen Jin's order was issued quickly, and people were frightened by the earthquake and became more enthusiastic about shipbuilding.

When he was white, Zhenjin even began to guard the open space in the valley and personally supervise everyone's work.

With the needle gold here, everyone felt at ease and no longer feared that the big man would go crazy again.

There is strong pressure in everyone's hearts, which has greatly improved the efficiency of new ship manufacturing.

Over the next week, the big man didn't get sick again.

The earthquake never happened again.

But food consumption is huge.

People work really hard, and many people actively ask to continue working at night. They feel that they have too much time to sleep and rest!

After all, the construction of new ships is related to everyone's life.

Zhen Jin Zaibai personally supervised the construction site.

The masts are set on the keel.

After the beams are built and matched with the frame, the prototype of the new ship can be seen.

The construction speed of the sail was very fast, mainly because there was a large reserve of spider webs. As the shipbuilder had estimated before, the spider webs of the blade spider were very suitable to become one of the main materials of the sail.

As the third side of the sail was being built, the earthquake struck again.

The big man didn't get sick.

No one cared about this matter. In fact, the inaccuracy of the prediction of madness had long been pointed out in the propaganda of Xiao Suo commanding the crew.

This island is becoming more and more dangerous, and what people are most concerned about is whether they can escape from here.

People prayed that earthquakes would not happen again, but the reality was contrary to everyone's expectations.

In the following time, earthquakes not only became more frequent, but also became larger and larger each time.

The wooden roof had to be reinforced many times, but finally it could no longer hold up.

Zhen Jin had no choice but to order everyone to move the prototype of the new ship outside the valley.

The jungle outside was completely cut down and burned, forming a new construction site.

The new construction site is completely exposed, and it is too late to build a dock at this time. In fact, due to earthquakes, the docks will collapse when they are built, damaging the prototypes of new ships.

The difficulty is that besides Lin Zhen, there is also rain.

Moisture is a major concern in shipbuilding

The hull in particular needs to be dried and the moisture in the wood needs to be removed.

Zidi's potion played a huge role. In addition, people disassembled the tents and assembled them together. In rainy weather, they built giant tents and worked inside.

When the weather clears, the tent is dismantled and the prototype of the new boat is exposed to the sun, doing everything possible to get rid of the moisture inside.

When the earthquake occurred for the eighth time, everyone was shocked to discover a pillar of lava and fire rushing straight to the edge while the earth was shaking.

According to Cang Xu's estimation, Zhenjin and others are located on the edge of the island, while the volcanic landform is located in the center of the island, or even in the center.

From the location of Zhenjin, you can observe the spectacular scene of volcanic eruptions, so the real scene in the volcanic zone must be even more terrifying.

"It's almost the end of the world!"

"Can we really get out of here?"

"I wouldn't be surprised if this island sunk."

People are panicked.

Realizing this, Zhenjin held a bonfire dinner not long after.

He gave public speeches, using his status as a knight of the gods, and used words of empire, glory, and achievements to boost everyone's morale.

Speeches have obvious effects.

When everyone saw Zhen Jin, they once again realized that there was such a reliable leader around them. Zhenjin is not only powerful, but also of noble character. He promises not to give up on anyone, and everyone believes in his words.

The aroma of barbecue was fragrant, and more than ten bottles of rum were supplied. The amount of wine shared by everyone was very small, but the wonderful taste made people intoxicated.

The tense nerves that had been tense for a while were relieved at this moment, the frowns gradually relaxed, and there were more and more conversations and laughter.

Zhen Jin carried a huge piece of barbecue to the bonfire in the corner.

Here are the positions of the big man and the shipwright.

Zhen Jin handed the roast meat to the big man.

The big man didn't dare to take it. After being scolded by the boatman, he took it timidly.

"You have done a good job in these. Without you, the ship would not be built so fast. Keep working hard." In full view of everyone, Zhen Jin encouraged the big man.

The big man curled up and sat in his seat. Seeing Zhen Jin smiling at him, he quickly lowered his head in embarrassment and stared at the barbecue in his hand, not knowing what to do.

Zhen Jin didn't stay long, and after a moment, turned around and left.

When the shipwright sent him off respectfully, he said with sincerity: "Sir, you are so different from others! I have never seen such a noble person as you."

The old father thanked him very sincerely, his words were choked and his eyes were slightly red.

Zhenjin patted him on the shoulder, looked around and saw that everyone's attention was attracted to him.

His voice was slightly raised: "Everyone has a place on this ship, and no one will be left behind."

"In other words, we're all in the same boat."

"I know there are differences between us."

"All kinds of differences in status, blood, appearance, and personality."

"But these differences should not be the reason for our suspicion, opposition, and internal strife. We should unite closely. Only in this way can we maximize the possibility of escape."

"We are all...our own people!"

Zhen Jin's last sentence was in a particularly emphatic tone.

Unsurprisingly, his impromptu speech once again won cheers from the crowd.

Many people found that they fell in love with Zhen Jin's speech and were willing to listen to more of Zhen Jin's words.

Zhenjin's words soothed their panicked hearts, calmed them down, and made them full of hope and motivation again.

Zidi stared at the young leader.

Cang Xu smiled approvingly.

Bai Ya's passionate eyes seemed to be on fire, while Lan Zao was silent and restrained.

Kurojuan quietly clenched his fist.

San Dao, who had always been calm, was also a little distracted.

"One of our own?" Zong Ge looked at the bonfire in front of him, and these three words reminded him of the past scene again.

He fell on the cold floor tiles, his head being firmly stepped on by a foot.

"One of our own?" the young man who stepped on Zong Ge said in a sharp voice, "Ha! Are you actually one of our own?"

The young man Zonge struggled, but could not resist the strength of the young man in front of him. He reluctantly spoke, "We all have the same blood flowing in our bodies. We have a common father. We are brothers and sisters. Aren't we our own?"

As soon as he said these words, Zong Ge felt the force of the foot on his head suddenly increase.

Those gorgeous boots even crushed Zong Ge's temples hard.

"Shut up! You bastard!" the boy who stepped on him shouted angrily.

The other teenagers who were watching also spoke out.

"Who are your siblings?"

"You are born in the dirty soil. How can you stand side by side with us? You do have noble blood, but this is exactly your tragedy. Because it further highlights your inferiority and incompetence."

"You are a disgrace to our family!"

"It's a stain on our family's reputation!"

"illegitimate child!"

"A mere half-orc actually wants to be on par with us!!"

"wishful thinking!!"
