This saved Zhao Yu a lot of trouble.
He ordered so people to wash the bowls and plates that they had eaten.
Then, Zhao Yu brought the rest of the people to the building next door.
There were three buildings nearby, one was used for storage, one housed the soldiers, and the third one was empty.
Zhao Yu led them to the empty building and had them clean up the building.
After that, he herded all the prisoners to the top floor for rest and assigned a few soldiers to guard them.
Having arranged these matters, Zhao Yu fell into deep thought back at the base.
Taking the prisoners was a necessity, unless he didn’t want those supplies.
As he understood, the shelter had been almost completely emptied, except for so industrial equipnt. Everything movable and valuable was now moved here.
Clearly, the Wild Wolf Town forces didn’t plan to occupy the shelter; they just wanted to take the goods.
However, from the fact that they hadn’t destroyed the indoor cultivation equipnt, it seed they were treating it as a fertile field.
“I’ll think about the Wild Wolf Town matter later…”
Zhao Yu was feeling that the most pressing issue was what to do with the prisoners in the base.
Keeping them next door didn’t seem appropriate as it was too close to the base. If word got out, it could pose a risk.
As for eliminating all the prisoners, Zhao Yu couldn’t bring himself to do it; he wasn’t an executioner or a homicidal maniac.
“No, I need to plan this carefully…”
Ideas began to form in Zhao Yu’s mind.
He planned to open up a new territory and expand the base.
To the east of the photovoltaic power plant was a river. Although the river flow was not substantial, it was sufficient for daily needs.
“We can build a settlent across the river to accommodate these civilians…”
“Also, another base inside the photovoltaic power plant doesn’t seem quite right…”
Zhao Yu thought that as more buildings were erected, it wouldn’t make sense to keep them with the power plant.
It would be better to have a clear division of labor: use the photovoltaic power plant solely for power generation with so people guarding it, and the base should plant outside to establish a new military zone.
Separating the military zone from the industrial and residential areas would effectively prevent the leakage of the base’s situation.
After all, his buildings appeared out of thin air and in the short term, nobody could notice it. However, if this continued, there indeed were so hidden risks.
Zhao Yu quickly took out a map and began planning his new base.
After careful consideration, he designated an area 500 ters north of the photovoltaic power plant as his new military base.
To the east of the photovoltaic power plant, he marked an area for residential use.
There was a large space outside the east gate. The area to the northeast was occupied by ng Xian and his group, while the southern part was still vacant, ideal for developing and settling the prisoners.
Conveniently, there were 10 idle engineers in his base who could direct these civilians in so construction work.
“If we’re going to establish a settlent, we need to give it a na. It won’t seem abrupt, nor will it arouse suspicion…”
“What na should I choose?!”
Zhao Yu found particularly troubleso. Unable to think of one imdiately, he decided not to dwell on it and planned to na it once the settlent was built.
“For now, let’s get these people so works. At the sa ti, I’ll need to continue expanding the guard force…”
Currently, he had a total of 30 soldiers, all accounted for in the guard force.
According to the plan, he needed to divide the guard force into three groups: one to guard the residential area, another for the photovoltaic power plant, and the third for the military base.
Fortunately, soldiers were inexpensive, costing only 1 technology point each. Zhao Yu had just harvested a batch of grain and could afford to maintain even a thousand people.
The shelter’s food supply was abundant, enough to support a thousand people for a year, and there was so much that it was hard to store it all.
Zhao Yu thought for a long ti about the base that night, the residential and industrial areas, and place for farms in the future.
In addition, the war with Wild Wolf Town might caused the Black Rock City to intervene as well.
Amidst these tangled and unresolved thoughts, Zhao Yu unknowingly fell asleep..
