Solena held the bundle and moved again with the bustling crowd.
Residents of the inner ring moved into the underground city, and residents of the outer ring moved into the inner ring.
Many things and furniture that have not been moved remain. Compared to the drab and bare rock walls and cramped and gloomy rooms in the outer ring, the rooms in the inner ring are decorated with various oil paintings and textiles, and the fluorite inlaid or placed is much better than that in the outer ring.
The more they are, the bigger they are.
Solena silently glanced at the new batch of roommates, clutched her baggage, and huddled up in the corner without attracting anyone's attention.
Perhaps because the environment made people feel safe and relaxed, her new roommates were much more lively than those from the previous few days, and it didn't take long for them to start chatting with each other due to their familiarity.
"Will this be our new home?"
"It should be so. Those high-class people have moved to safer underground cities, and the inner ring has been vacated..."
"So our destiny has not changed? We are still human shields..."
"yes……"
"It's better than before. Maybe we can see the knight every day."
"Maybe the knight will never appear again..."
While sighing, a male resident who was as dirty as a scavenger suddenly shouted: "Why do you think so? The underground city will let all of us live in it!"
There was a brief moment of silence, followed by several voices of questioning and ridicule.
"I'm not lying to you, we dug the tunnel!" The dirty man shouted stubbornly: "That was done by Mr. Exorcist, otherwise why would we suddenly build a dungeon!"
The room became quiet, and Solena, who was isolated in the corner, raised her head slightly.
The residents of Weiner Freeze Port have blind trust in Lu Li.
This is not only because they have been surrounded by Lu Li's deeds, but also because Lu Li once saved all the residents of Weiner Freeze Port from the church.
"But how big a dungeon can hold all of us...and how long has it been?" It's just that things outside common sense still make it hard for some people to believe.
"Because they have built several underground cities. You have never seen the allies of the exorcists, and you don't know how powerful they are... Hundreds of workers can't compare to one bite of the rock after hundreds of workers spent a day. You think the Light
Why is the earth so glorious? They have made indelible contributions!"
The dirty man's excited shouts shook the room slightly...
"How many seats?"
"Several ones! Otherwise, why are we waiting here! Every time we build one, we will move it inside until everyone lives in the underground city!"
Soon, the topic of conversation will inevitably fall on Lu Li.
"Have you met Mr. Exorcist?"
"I've seen it! Maybe... I don't know if I've seen it... I don't know what an exorcist looks like."
"He has black hair and black eyes."
"The tunnel is so dark, almost everyone has black hair! You can't even see it!"
"The Exorcist's allies will always follow him."
"Those evil... mysterious cultists? They've been walking around in the tunnel, and those knights!"
“Did The Exorcist bring sunshine like the Land of Light?”
"No... the dungeon is very dark, but maybe now there is..."
Solena huddled in the corner with her bundle in her arms, quietly listening to the noise in the room, as if it had nothing to do with her.
…
"He still did nothing."
Ten days later.
The construction of the third underground city has been completed, and the construction of the fourth underground city is about to begin.
The first dungeon city hall, the twisted figure narrates and whispers.
Dungeons inevitably increase privileges.
It is impossible for Mateus and the future mayor, knights, and believers to live in a cave where civilians live.
However, expansion is not troublesome, as long as it is extended outwards from the highest point overlooking the entire underground city. The city hall, knights' station, church, and future schools will all be placed here.
Maxson once suggested dividing the five underground cities into residential areas, scientific research areas, resource areas, factory areas, and commercial areas based on functions. However, this was rejected by Matthäus, who held the same view.
Dividing functions will only cause the other dungeons to be in trouble due to the loss of this part of the function.
"Maybe the other hidden believers did something that we don't know about?" Mateus asked.
But the possibility is slim. As mentioned before, pagans are natural enemies of each other. Even if they hide in secret, they cannot be ignored by pagans with the same status.
Believers with distorted figures can discover his followers, and his followers can also discover believers with distorted figures.
So until now the evil god has done nothing to make people suspicious.
At the very least He should hide.
Either the evil god has closed its connection with Solena, or he is watching quietly.
He is careful enough, but no matter what
"More than 50,000 residents have moved into underground cities, leaving only two underground cities with a population of more than 20,000. We are running out of time," Matthäus said.
Lu Li looked at the twisted figure: "Where is the progress?"
"The ritual of retrospection is drawing out the ending."
Matthäus did not ask for details. The exorcist revealed nothing. He only had to provide everything he could.
Afternoon.
Each team that went out for hunting had one hundred members each. A total of five teams of twisted cultists returned to the dungeon, and handed over a dozen monsters captured around the entrance to the refuge area to Lu Li to deal with them and harvest their humanity.
Thirty minutes later, Lu Li arrived at the last piece of farmland waiting to be purified in the first dungeon with 0.5 added humanity.
Torches and oil lamps illuminated the surroundings like a farm on the ground late at night. There were crowds of people outside the farmland. Newspaper reporters were waiting for the moment of completion. The knights turned into a dividing line to block the crowded citizens outside.
All the citizens of the First Dungeon have focused their attention here.
At the center of his gaze, Lu Li just released the Tree Whisperer and walked quietly through the last piece of farmland. The plants came to life as he passed by, digging out of the soft soil and growing vigorously.
Humanity is diminishing like flickering lamp oil. Whenever this happens, a thought will appear in Lu Li's heart: The Evil Spirit Chess is by no means a material born of this world.
Because of human nature.
Human nature is the source of rebirth and destruction in this world, and may even be the foundation of this strange universe. But the doomsday apocalypse of unknown origin fabricates its shape at will like a child playing with a sandcastle. 0.25 parts of human nature double to 0.5 parts of human nature, and
Can be used as 0.5 humanity.
bang
The spotlight suddenly burst into bright light, awakening Lu Li from his thoughts.
Young shoots sprouted from the last barren farmland underfoot, and cheers boiled in the underground city.
Lu Li looked back at the bright farmland where lights intersected in the underground city. These tender green shoots emerging from the soil carried people's new hopes.
Although it is only one of the five dungeons.
Although they cannot be harvested until autumn at the earliest.
Although crops cannot yet feed half the population.
The reporters rushed to the newspaper office with the new title "Crop Growth in Progress", and Lu Li returned to the city hall amid cheers and escorts from the citizens.
