When it started to get dark, bonfires were already lit.
Not only can they dispel the night and cold, but they can also serve as lighting to ward off wild beasts.
But unlike the wood fuel in most worlds, in addition to various liquid and solid fuels, the bonfires and lighting in this world also have various sunflowers.
"This can no longer be called a sunflower."
In the middle of the camp, a lighthouse has been slowly erected.
After half a day, it was only more than three meters long, tied behind the back of a large beast of burden, like a dead and skinny tree.
But after watering, fertilizing, and a long dance by a professional who seemed to be a gardener, it turned into a real lighthouse.
The roots inserted into the center of the camp were buried deep in the earth, and they gradually rose to about five meters, while the branches became much thicker.
The branches and leaves spread out, and little sparks floated out from them, spreading light and heat.
At the top of the treetops, crystals bloomed with sun-colored brilliance. While dispelling the darkness, they also vaguely calmed the restless hearts.
"interesting."
The flames floated in the wind, but when touched, they only felt warm instead of burning. They were mimicking flames.
Letting those "flames" float on his hands, Lu Ping'an could feel that the "leaves" of the wooden structure were breathing slowly, slowly converting biological energy into heat energy.
Lu Pingping's surroundings are already filled with countless sparks, which are the friendly gestures of this expensive "Ariel Lighthouse" to the Creator.
Lu Ping'an gently touched its treetop with his spiritual power, but was greeted by another burst of sparks.
They made Lupingan's place warmer than the one under the tower, and attracted a lot of attention.
"I am a fifth-level gardener"
The casual words dismissed these curious glances, but attracted more envious glances.
But Lu Pingan himself is more interested in the "Sunflower Module" that has been changed beyond recognition.
Due to the participation of the Forest Girl Church, the most indispensable thing in this world is high-level animal trainers and high-level gardeners, and the sunflower as a "specialty" has naturally become the focus of transformation.
Nowadays, looking at the mercenaries patrolling with "lanterns", the sentries using high-spot lanterns for reconnaissance, and the largest group of people warming themselves by fire, Ping An must admit that "lanterns" have not only been completely localized, but have also been integrated into the world.
Within civilization and rules.
"So, did I play the role of a bee?"
Ultimately, this module is the special power of the sun god originating from the world of Silent Mountains. Lu Ping'an brought it to the earth and carried out a series of localized transformations, and finally brought it to this world.
He is like a hard-working bee. Although he came with the task of collecting nectar, he inadvertently completed the "pollination" effect.
Almost everyone among the mercenaries in front of Lu Ping'an was carrying a simple "light stick", and lanterns had been completely integrated into everyone's daily life.
And unlike Lu Ping'an's inherent impression, most mercenaries in this world are actually not humans. To be precise, most human masters have too many choices and there is no need to do the hard and dangerous work of mercenaries.
The Long-Handed Clan occupies 70%, and the fishmen occupy the remaining 70% of the second floor. There are only a few humans mixed in, and they are basically in a quite safe and comfortable position. It seems that they should be logistics and technical personnel.
Lu Pingping saw that the people who arranged the "light rings" and "light arrays" were basically human gardeners.
After all, although there are many gardeners in the world, the local area is really not suitable for gardeners to grow up. Local gardeners should be a rare thing.
And the human logisticians who have mastered some rare and high-level technologies actually enjoy a better life than the combat professions.
In fact, due to the widespread use of lanterns, in a sense, the good life of gardeners (as long as they plant, maintain, use, and cultivate lanterns), we really have to thank Lu Ping'an, the originator.
"Still not back?"
But as the night deepened, even though their bodies were getting warmer and warmer under the lights, everyone couldn't help but feel uneasy.
It has been more than six hours, the fog is still there, and no one who went in has come back.
The third group of personnel had already identified the shallow reconnaissance personnel who returned within one kilometer, but none of them came back. If they had not used special means to confirm that they were still alive, I am afraid many people would have begun to consider retreating.
In fact, people asking for help have been sent out, and many people have estimated that this is not a problem that they can solve.
"Is there any result?"
"The preliminary results are available, but I'm afraid they are useless. Those 'fogs' are a kind of 'living polymer', which is very strange. If we understand it correctly, this level of 'fog' may affect the whole city's 'people'
It’s all here.”
"It's not the missing people caused by the fog, but the fog caused by the missing people? This thing is a bit abnormal."
Lu Ping'an vaguely realized that the fog itself was probably not the biggest problem, but could only be regarded as a derivative of the "problem".
He was not in a hurry to step into this lost city. After all, he knew about the fragments and knew that some things were really unreasonable. Even if he was strong enough, he could be killed if he was not careful.
He asked his logistics team to sample and analyze the fog and develop targeted protective equipment, but the result was that it was not a problem at all.
But judging from the results, they did hide the real problem
"If these are the essence of life, then the local residents"
"The life energy has been leaked. Resident, will you be resurrected?"
"Stop talking nonsense, even god-level doctors don't have this ability. I understand."
Lu Ping'an glanced at the senior mercenaries who were arguing quietly. They might have come with a rescue mission, but they probably didn't know that everyone inside was probably gone.
After thinking for a while, he sent out Maomao
"Go and tell them."
"Meow? (Why don't you go?)"
"I have business"
"You just find it troublesome, meow! You always blame other people for your troubles, meow!"
Despite such complaints, Maomao still went to work honestly. In the absence of Catherine, she became Lu Ping'an's de facto agent.
But at this time, Lu Ping'an was really in trouble.
"These fogs are very annoying. No matter what is inside, these things that block sight and traffic will have a huge negative impact on combat."
Although a consensus has been reached, normal professionals may not be able to do anything about these fogs.
"But since they are also living beings, is it possible to develop magic plants that 'draw designated life', or in other words, 'burn life'?"
The normal development of first-level magic plants starts in half a year. This is the result of high-level gardeners' full acceleration, but for Lu Ping'an, it is not a big difficulty.
He has actually been studying similar things, and now he has "materials" that are more suitable for testing.
As for the "raw materials" and "body modules", aren't there a little bit of fire everywhere in front of you?
More than two hours later, a group of trembling mercenaries walked into the mist holding "torches".
After going around in a circle, they successfully returned. This time, where the lights passed, the fog did not close immediately, but instead left a faint ashes.
"The 'Life-Burning Beam' seems to have been successful. Let's go. It's time to set off."
