Wen Rensheng did not directly tell those people about the city in the distance. He just observed the situation in the city from a distance and allowed the four groups sent out to explore.
The ten people left behind were discussing various plans.
After more than half a day, four groups of people returned one after another, and the last group to return was group three.
Wen Rensheng directly gave an x to all six people in the three groups.
Because he saw from high in the sky that these people had only walked more than a kilometer. After they were out of everyone's sight, behind a rock, they argued for a few words and then began to waste water and bread wantonly, pouring water on their heads and eating bread.
After two bites, throw it away, no one does this.
They waited until half of the water was left before they stopped wasting it.
Wen Rensheng floated into the air only after the four groups of people had set off, so they didn't know that Wen Rensheng could see their every move from a high position.
The people in the second group were more down-to-earth and walked the farthest, covering more than ten kilometers. In a place like this where there are flames and lava everywhere, it is already rare to go this far.
The other two groups walked relatively normally, covering seven or eight kilometers, including the exploration time, which was very normal.
The only good news for them is that there aren't any deadly beasts around on the road, which is also bad news.
Because this means that the local ecological environment cannot support the development of the biological chain.
The four groups of people talked about the content of their explorations in turn, and the three groups of people happened to talk the most because they were the best at editing.
Wen Rensheng waited for them to finish speaking, and then said calmly, "I forgot to tell you, we are now implementing a points system. Everyone has basic points, and you can exchange them for as many points as you do. The water and food you just consumed are all included in it...
…”
"Also, people from the third group, you really think what you do can escape my eyes! You all know that I am a mutant, but you still dare to be so unscrupulous and lazy. Even if you are lazy, you still waste food and water!"
With that said, Wen Rensheng cast an illusion spell and used it.
Everyone else saw the good deeds done by the three groups, and it couldn't be a fake, because in the illusion technique, one could even see clearly which water bags the other party had squandered, and a pair of them were right.
The three groups of people had nothing to say and could only admit their fault.
"Asshole! How dare you do this!" Ma Gan Dao Liu scolded him first. He was the leader of the second group and had gone furthest.
This may seem a little unbelievable, but it’s normal if you think about it. After all, as a leader, how could he pull up such a large crew if he really has no motivation or will?
Directors may be good or bad, but without the ability to act, they will definitely not be successful.
It's actually not surprising that Wen Rensheng was there. After all, people are just like that. Without clear supervision, don't expect everyone to put in the effort.
After watching the illusion, the three groups of people were beaten up by everyone until Wen Rensheng stopped.
After this scene, the level of organization improved significantly.
Everyone's fear increased, and of course many people felt more at ease, not having to worry about someone not working hard enough.
Just rest for the day.
Everyone could not see the sun rise and set, only the rising and falling flames. They found a place without fire and reluctantly stayed.
The next day, when the watch showed 7 o'clock, Wen Rensheng led everyone to set off towards the city he was optimistic about.
Dozens of kilometers, to be specific, about thirty kilometers.
This distance would take less than half an hour by car, but would take more than six hours on foot, let alone a place like this where flames are everywhere.
Walk slower.
Everyone walked for a full day, from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., before everyone could see the outline of the city.
Right here, there are still three or four kilometers away from the city.
"I see the city!" the crowd cheered.
"If we are saved, we can still survive here!"
"Don't be too happy too early," Lao Ma warned. "We don't know whether there are humans or ghosts in the city. We have to find out before we can get close."
Wen Rensheng nodded and asked everyone to set up camp here. After leaving enough food and water for three days, he set off again.
He won't give too much at one time. Firstly, it will increase the burden, and secondly, someone will cause trouble.

…
Hulu is a farmer.
It was black and red all over, only one and two meters tall, with a big head and thin arms and legs.
Its farmland is a hole in the ground. The hole is blocked very tightly. Every time you go in and out, you have to remove the stones and dry moss blocking the door.
This ensures that the moisture in the hole cannot evaporate.
There is a piece of igneous rock in the cave, which is a source of light and also makes the cave very hot and humid.
There is a kind of red moss planted around the igneous rocks. They can absorb energy from the red light emitted by the igneous rocks and absorb moisture from the air to grow.
No watering is required, as long as the air has a certain humidity.
This is the main source of food for most people in the city.
Red moss is unpalatable and has limited nutrition. Many people die of various diseases before they reach the age of thirty.
If the red moss is cultivated for a long time, it will produce a small red fruit, which can only be eaten by a few people. It has a sweet taste. People who eat this moss fruit can live over forty years old.
Hulu is already twenty years old and is not married yet. It seems that the genes in the family cannot be passed on.
The word "gene" was something he saw from an ancient book.
It is ashamed of its father and grandfather. After all, no matter how difficult it is for them, they are still single.
Originally, his father wanted to marry him a wife, but he died during an underground fire riot.
And when no one took care of it, it used the family's savings to live a good life for several years.
It is only now that he is getting older that he begins to regret it.
After all, it still had a hole in the ground as its property. It decided to marry a wife. It didn't matter if she was ugly, as long as she could have babies.
It also doesn't want to hand over its burrow to outsiders.
When people are young, they have completely different ideas than when they are old.
It decided to go outside the city to marry someone back. It knew that some people could not survive in the city and had no choice but to go outside the city. The wives there did not want a bride price.
It left the city gate.
It was indeed hell outside the city. Breathing the dry air, Hulu felt that he could not survive here for more than two years, even if he could eat moss fruits every day.
It knew where these people were, neighbors had mentioned them.
Grandpa also told it that those people usually hide in deep caves.
The requirements for rock caves are very high. They must have volcanic rocks but not too many.
The biggest problem is water. Among those people, there must be a mage to survive.
Hulun himself almost became a mage. He could feel those mysterious powers, those powers called "black breath".
It's a pity that the family's money has to be reserved for him to find a wife, and he is reluctant to make this kind of investment, so he can only give up his dream.
The abandonment of this dream was also the reason why he later squandered his savings, because when he grew up, he had no chance to become a mage because there was not enough time.
If you want to become a mage, you need to study for twenty years, and then you can live to be sixty years old.
With a trace of regret, it walked towards a mountain forest in the distance.
There is a small gathering place there, and I heard that they have a specialty, a stone, which can increase the production of moss.
Therefore, the soldiers in the city did not clean them, and deliberately threw some criminals to them.
Just as they were approaching a cave, before Hulun could look, a person appeared in front of him.
When it saw the man, it immediately knelt down.
This must be a super master, city lord level figure.
Because the other person is too well-proportioned and too tall.
