Survival in the Mist: From a Dilapidated Wooden Hut to a Heavenly Palace in the Clouds

Chapter 184 Squad Leader Liu Heng



Chapter 184 Squad Leader Liu Heng

Upon hearing this, Manmeng quickly looked around and asked anxiously, "Won't we damage these bright stones under our feet? Won't we damage the mineral vein?"

Although he had no knowledge of minerals, the strange sight before him and Duoduo's words evoked a complex mix of emotions in him—admiration and surprise at the resources, but also worry about the potential harm from unknown forces.

Duoduo smiled slightly and reassured, "Don't worry, as long as there is no large-scale mining, these small stones will not be damaged so easily. Youhui ore is a stable substance, but you need to be careful in the way it is mined so as not to damage its foundation system, that is, the core ore vein."

Mo Ming looked at the two naive guys and couldn't help but smile helplessly, but his tone became serious: "Bear Big, Bear Two, I know the resources here look very attractive, but you can't just destroy them."

The luminous ore vein is very valuable, but improper mining can have a significant impact on the surrounding environment and may even disrupt the energy balance of the entire vein!

He paused for a moment, then added, "Glowing ore is not just a pretty glowing stone; its energy can be used to power a lot of large equipment. But at the same time, it is very dangerous to mine, and most importantly—it must not be overdone."

Duoduo nodded and added, "That's right. Over-exploitation will cause environmental problems and will also cause the Blue River inside the mine to dry up."

"Once the Blue River disappears, the Glowing Vein will be completely ruined." Her tone was firm. "Therefore, I suggest only moderate mining each day, and without disturbing the core direction of the vein."

“From now on, this will be our backup point, codenamed Forest, and our main shelter will be codenamed Sky Island.” Mo Ming’s face was beaming with joy as he continued, “Duo Duo, from now on, you will be in charge of the mining of the Ghostly Ore. You will come up with the plans, and Xiong Da and Xiong Er will cooperate with you.”

Seeing that Duoduo was so knowledgeable, Mo Ming simply entrusted her with the entire planning for mining the Youhui ore.

"I'm also entrusting the pill-making to you. Be careful not to overwork yourself."

Upon hearing this, Duoduo nodded seriously.

"Once you finish the first phase of mining, I will recruit some more people, and then you will have new helpers."

Upon hearing that more "fellow villagers" would be joining, the faces of the group simultaneously lit up with anticipation.

“I’ve given you all access to this backup point. You can teleport between the main shelter and here at any time. Consider this our second home! Tell me what facilities or furniture you need, and I’ll get it for you.”

Afterwards, Mo Ming returned to Sky Island, while Duo Duo and Xiong Da stayed there to carry out the first phase of mining the Ghostly Ore.

Meanwhile, the entry into the main city of the East is also in full swing.

As one of the most prosperous and important buildings in this land, the Eastern Main City can be considered a sanctuary that countless survivors dream of.

In the devastating environment of the apocalypse, cities with dense populations, abundant resources, and high levels of security become especially valuable. To maintain the stability and order of these cities, every resident must undergo rigorous application and assessment processes.

After undergoing review, Liu Heng, Liang Dongshan, and two others finally arrived at the East Second District of the Eastern Main City and successfully completed their respective city entry processes.

The management of the main city in the east is extremely strict, especially with multiple checkpoints set up on the city's perimeter.

Upon entering the Eastern Main City, the first step is to pass a rigorous background check and competency assessment. Every resident must prove their value and ability to contribute.

The city guard is one of the most sought-after positions, as it is not only a stable job but also offers access to more city resources and respect.

Relying on his strong physique and rich combat experience, Liu Heng quickly chose to sign up for the guard team. His body looked well-defined and powerful, while his spirit revealed a resilience that had weathered many storms.

During the selection process for the guard team, he stood out from hundreds of competitors thanks to his precise fighting skills, quick reaction to crises, and strong leadership.

Thanks to his outstanding performance, he not only passed the assessment but was also directly hired as the squad leader of the East Second District Guard Team.

In comparison, Liang Dongshan's performance was relatively stable. Although he was slightly inferior to Liu Heng in terms of physical fitness and combat ability, he still met the basic requirements for a guard.

After passing the assessment, he was assigned as a regular member of the East Second District Guard Team. Although he was just a regular member, it was a stable position that many survivors dreamed of, and he was quite content with it.

Sun Miaoke and Lu Mingyu did not choose to participate in the selection of the guard team.

The main city of the East is divided into several areas, each with its own characteristics and functions.

As a newly developed area with a large population, the East Second District is mainly residential, while also serving as a resource management area and a defense line construction area with medium to low risk levels.

The architecture here is more orderly, and the high walls and heavily guarded entrances inspire a sense of security. Patrols are frequent, day and night, to ensure no threat can infiltrate the city.

The atmosphere in East District 2 is somewhere between bustling and simple. It's not as luxurious as the main city, nor is it a solemn stronghold for stationed legions; instead, it's a vibrant residential area.

The survivors are mostly ordinary workers, traders, small team leaders, and guards.

The area is well-equipped with various shops and supply centers, offering a wide range of goods from post-apocalyptic special foods to basic defensive equipment. The arrival of Liu Heng and Liang Dongshan undoubtedly adds significant weight to the defenses of the East Second District.

As the squad leader of the East Second District Guard Team, Liu Heng's responsibilities extended beyond patrolling and defense; more importantly, he was tasked with responding to emergencies. The guard team was divided into several mobile groups, each consisting of approximately six to eight people.

Liu Heng's squad is mainly responsible for the defense line in the southern part of the East Second District, near the outer perimeter, where they are often threatened by wild beasts. As the post-apocalyptic environment deteriorates, the frequency and intensity of biological mutations increase year by year, making the work of the guard team increasingly important.

In this misty world, everyone is desperately trying to fight for a chance to survive.

In the East Second District of the main city, whether they are security guards or ordinary residents, they are all trying to rebuild order and a happy life in their own way.

Liu Heng, Liang Dongshan, Sun Miaoke, and Lu Mingyu are just ordinary yet shining examples of countless strivers on this land.

They have embarked on different paths, and as a result, the main city of the East is gradually regaining its vitality and hope.

However, within the team alliance, Mo Ming and Song Yufei are gradually falling out of sync with their rhythm. Both of them understand that perhaps one day in the near future, they will also become completely parallel lines with this alliance.
