Chapter 1120 Cape City

"The ship is coming, guys! Move!" Simbadi shouted, raising his arms.

"Oh oh oh!" The members of the Fishbone Clan rushed onto the dock in a swarm and started busy with their own work - some were responsible for fixing the cables, and some were responsible for setting up the springboard. Although it looked like a mess, there was no delay at all, as long as it was not When boarding the ship, his posture is not much different from that of an old sailor. It’s hard to imagine that a year and a half ago, these people had never even seen the sea a few times, let alone done such a thing.

Soon, the supplies on the ship were cleared.

"Sinbadi, they said the goods are ready!"

"How many barrels are there of red goods or black goods? Have you asked clearly?"

"Don't worry, I'll remember it all on the back of my hand!"

"Okay, let's get started!"

It is the abbreviation commonly used by everyone. The entire Endless Cape produces only one kind of product, and that is the black water of the Styx. However, as the scope of mining expanded, sand people discovered that it was not just one color. In the other two underground river valleys, dark red and dark green Styx water appeared - they can also burn, but their properties and smells are quite different. Therefore, for convenience, people began to use it instead of black water, and this name soon spread among northerners.

This is the fourth time for Sinbad to work in Daqing Port.

He remembered that when he first set foot on this barren sand, his first thought was that if he could survive, he must stay as far away from this place as possible after these three months. But what was beyond his imagination was that a city had gradually taken root in the southernmost part of the desert - if the recovery of the oasis was a miracle, then Daqing Port could be described as a miracle.

The reason why Endless Cape has become a place of exile is precisely because it has nothing but danger. Even the most experienced hunter cannot survive alone. If you want to build a town where hundreds or even thousands of people live here, only the three gods can do it for the sand people.

He originally thought that the great chief who underestimated the power of the desert would completely give up this ridiculous idea after his attempt failed, but he did not expect that the one who knew nothing about the desert was the sand people themselves who had lived here for hundreds of years.

Endless Cape is not nothing.

It's just that they never realized it.

The first problem to be overcome was the water source.

The Northern official named Conkerite led them to build a reservoir that stretched as far as the eye could see - they were low sheds covered with black films. They didn't see anything strange at first, but When the evil month ended, the sand people discovered that the sun could actually separate the white salt from the sea water. The water vapor forms dewdrops on the film, then flows into the pipe groove along the inclined surface, and finally merges into the storage tank. The stronger the sunlight, the faster the water storage speed. Although one pond does not produce much fresh water, hundreds of ponds add up to a considerable amount of water.

Today, such reservoirs are still being expanded. They can not only meet the needs of the sand people, but also provide supplies for the ships in Neverwinter City, which can be regarded as subverting the inherent concepts formed by the Mojin sand people for hundreds of years.

Second is the housing issue.

It is impossible for a tent alone to withstand the direct rays of the midday sun, and the closer it gets to summer, the more so. If there is no reliable place to escape the heat, it will not last long even with water.

It is said that the stones of Iron Sand City came from the extreme south before desertification. This is why there are many oases in Yinchuan, but there is only one city.

The northerners still use local materials.

They built kilns one after another, using black water as fuel, filling them with silt fished out from the seabed, and then mixing them with screened fine yellow sand to bake them into bricks. Due to the inexhaustible supply of raw materials, Daqing Port soon had a number of brick bungalows, and the exterior walls and ceilings were double-layered. Even if it was not as good as an oasis under the shade of trees, it was considered stable. A place to stay.

Finally there's the food.

Turam, the elder of the Aosha clan, directed everyone to pull up dozens of fishing nets on the beach. Every time the tide rises, the seawater will swallow up all these nets. When the tide goes out, the "square grid" formed by the fishing nets will "There will be a lot of strange prey, such as sea crabs, sea snakes, sea urchins and so on. At first, Simbadi didn't dare to eat these deformed foods, but under the threat of Thuram's whip, he could only grit his teeth and choose to obey.

And the result was that I unexpectedly found that these things tasted pretty good.

Although staple food still had to be transported from Neverwinter City, their food was much richer than a year and a half ago.

After food and accommodation were taken care of, Sinbad's mentality gradually changed. After the three-month dispatch period ended, he chose a step that even surprised him - to continue to work in Daqing Port.

After all, the rewards here are much richer than those in Bishui Port.

Of course, he had another reason besides that.

…

After filling up the last sea vessel, today's busy day is over.

"Simbady, thank you for your hard work today."

"Brother, see you tomorrow morning!"

"I want to go to the market later. Do you want to come with me?"

Due to his participation in many dispatches, Simbadi became the nominal head of the Fishbone Clan. Whenever there was any task, Thuram would be the first to look for him. Faced with such a change, he was really flattered - when he was still in Yinchuan Oasis, he was an inconspicuous member of the clan. Not to mention being responsible for any affairs, few people were even willing to talk to him. But now, not only are the juniors treating him as the team leader, some girls have even extended invitations to him. This made him feel a little more proud while being grateful to the great chief.

But Simbadi did not accept those invitations.

Because he already has a figure in his heart.

"Hey, wait for me, Sinbad!"

Just as he was about to leave the dock to find Mu Li, a familiar voice reached his ears.

Sinbad couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He turned back with a smile, but his expression suddenly froze.

The person who came was indeed Mu Li, the girl who always wore big black braids and was the only girl in the clan who didn't show any dislike for him.

After the favored son of heaven, Caron, left the dispatch team, Mu Li did not choose to quit. This was also a major reason for his persistence. Simbadi thought he might have a chance, but now he saw the other party holding a man's hand and running towards him.

And that man is not Mo Jinshamin!

"Muli, you... and him..." Sinbad stammered.

"Ah!" Only then did Mu Li notice that the two of them were holding hands together. She quickly released her palms and smiled sheepishly, "I was anxious to bring him to see you, so I grabbed him all the way here. .”

"Is...is that so?"

"Phew, this young lady has really good physical strength," the man took a few breaths, "I can't stop even if I want to. It's like being pulled by a wild bull... Mo Jinshamin is indeed well-deserved." He looked at Xin. Buddy glanced at me and said, "Let me introduce myself first... My name is Rex, and I come from the fjord across the sea."

"I can tell at a glance that you are from the Fjord," Simbadi cautiously blocked Muli behind him, "I don't have any relics that can be recycled, so let's go!"

If Daqing Port has been developing steadily, gradually expanding its territory and population, then in the past three months it can be said that the calm has been completely broken. Endless Cape seemed to become a popular route overnight. A large number of fjord ships appeared in this new port city and brought a series of troubles.

These islanders who claimed to be explorers either dug holes everywhere or purchased various strange gadgets from the dispatch team, causing chaos in Daqing Port for a while. Yes, their influx has indeed made this place very lively, and the gradually formed market is also very popular with the Mojin people - so that everyone can use their salary to buy something they like, instead of having to wait until they return to Bishui Port Only then can you spend it. But what is even more impressive is the series of negative news.

For example, an explorer wanted to go deep into the River Styx to find out what was going on, but ended up falling into the river valley with his life and death unknown. In the end, it was the sand people from the dispatch team who cleaned up the mess and rescued the people.

Another example is that some explorers bought suspicious stones and metal utensils from the sand people, but ended up using counterfeit coins, which almost led to violent conflicts between the two sides.

The most egregious thing is that they even reached out to the source of life of Daqing Port - because of the strange membrane used in the reservoir, the roofs of several reservoirs were missing. This incident finally alarmed the First Army. After capturing the prisoners, they were escorted directly to Neverwinter City. It was said that what awaited them would be a lifetime of labor in the mines.

It is these endless troubles that make Simbadi wary of the Fjord people.

"I don't plan to recycle anything, because I prefer to rely on my own ability to obtain something for nothing, rather than opportunistically and effortlessly." Rex rubbed his hands, "This is also the best opportunity to rectify the name of the Odd Object Society."
