Su Mo’s team had no conflicts with the two territories on the way. They were enthusiastically welcomed and entertained with the passing token from Feng Mengyue and the Almighty Su’s face as authentication of their identities.

“Shelter leader, according to your instructions, Lord Feng has already transported all the supplies back with the villagers. They also left twenty people to guard the small building. From the looks of it, there’s a high possibility that they’re planning to take the whole building back tomorrow during the daytime to see if they can find other related secrets in the building!

“We’ve already carefully searched the building after you left and are certain that no other secrets were left behind.”

‘Goodness.

‘Feng Mengyue sure has a big appetite!

‘She accepted half the supplies but also wants the small-three-story western-styled building we found in the barren mountains!

‘It won’t be easy to move that big guy! The only way she’ll be able to do it is by demolishing it, bringing them back to the territory in parts, and then slowly go through it.’

After thinking about it, Su Mo smiled and replied, “It’s okay. Let them take it apart if they want to. We don’t plan to take it anyway.”

No matter how good the materials used to construct the building, it could not compare to the future houses that would be built in the basin.

Su Mo was confident that the territory would have great changes in one to two months and develop into a modern city when the winter was over, and they collected sufficient materials. They would no longer have to live in such dire circumstances when that time came.

“Pay attention to safety while traveling. We’re going to continue advancing through the night today. Since you two are alone, rest if you’re scared to travel late and observe if anything is abnormal with the two territories on Five Finger Mountain.

“There’s no need to rush.”

Su Mo was skeptical about the “grand welcoming” portrayed by the two territories after thinking about it.

It was not because the human god, Almighty Su, was envious or jealous of the two thriving territories.

Instead, it was due to the fact that although they were located extremely close to Great Mountain’s center, which was where previous chaos had happened, the two territories showed no signs of panic or concern about their futures.

It was unusual and suspicious.

Without further evidence, Su Mo could not continue his reasoning process even though he found it abnormal.

Meanwhile, the soldiers immediately responded to the order and hung up.

The inside of the car returned to complete silence.

…

Heaven’s Origin.

Hope Village.

Near the mysterious building.

Li Hu sighed deeply as he glanced at the spark-lit tents behind and the soldiers who chatted as they drank hot soup to warm themselves.

It was his fifth sigh in an hour.

Usually, at this time, as the territory’s Head of Armed Forces, he would have long been able to return to his residence to fill a pot of hot water, soak his feet comfortably, and watch some disaster resistance video on the game panel to help him sleep.

Today, it was already ten at night, and he was still standing in this wilderness, surrounded by the cold wind.

Li Hu was able to accept the business and did not mind being exhausted by working.

However, the reality was that…

From three in the afternoon to the present, it had been seven hours, but the only thing that he had done ever since was nod in agreement with the suggested plans and stood by waiting for a result.

‘Maybe it’ll be better if I go back home?

‘It’s such a waste of time waiting, not knowing what will happen.

‘We don’t know anything, not even how to open it. It’ll probably be better to come back and continue our long fight tomorrow.’

Li Hu retracted his gaze after he concluded.

He cleared his throat as he looked at Liu Cheng’s group of four who were still busily working in front of the door and the newly joined eight apprentices of Ai Jianfeng.

“Uhm, Liu Cheng, Ai Lao. Come and have some soup.

“It’s so cold outside. Do you think you can open it soon? How about we call it a night?

“We still have a lot of time, so let’s recharge ourselves first and continue the battle with this big iron door tomorrow morning after having breakfast.

Having said that, Li Hu decently walked to the table, picked up his bowl, and pretended to take a sip, making a satisfying sound.

Unfortunately, before he could express his “satisfaction,” Liu Cheng and Ai Jianfeng’s voices came from in front of the door.

“Almost done!”

“Just a little bit more!”

‘Tsk!’

Li Hu heard their answer and was immediately speechless before he could enjoy himself.

He could guarantee that the two kept repeating the exact words from six in the afternoon except when they needed to order the others to get materials or instruments.
