"Although I didn't understand what you were saying...... But my gut tells me that you're talking nonsense. I'll tell you that the fastest update of the novel is the eye. Hurry? ”

Robin also said to Paul seriously.

"Well, I'll admit I don't know, but since Chief Lothar says so, we'll just do it."

Paul said with embarrassment on his face after being ruthlessly debunked by Robin.

"Well, it's not bad to do something for everyone, but being idle is idle anyway...... Let's go! “

Robin shook his head and beckoned the soldiers of the Xiquan garrison around him to walk towards the nearby residences.

Seeing that the militiamen were chaotic but finally carried out their orders, Malone couldn't help but laugh.

In fact, having these militias work in groups to fetch water for the refugees in the town was just a whim of Malone.

Malone has in mind a myriad of ways to train these militias, some of which belong to this world, and some of which come from Earth.

He can strengthen the constitution of these militias through various trainings such as guò push-ups, long-distance running, or squats, and combined with the modern military training system from Earth and the principles of training troops that Marlon Lothar learned from Anduin Lothar in his memory, Malone has absolute confidence to build the most powerful army on the mortal level.

But reason tells Malone that he can't rush it – no matter what the refugees have been before, after the long and arduous journey of the past two weeks, their bodies are not adapted to the sudden onset of intense training.

In Nightshade, the refugees' food conditions are well replenished, but it also takes time to recover from their weakness.

Malone didn't plan to start training now, but he didn't want the militiamen to sit idle either—so he sent them to fetch water.

Marlon had thought about this problem when he was taking a shower last night - Vera had her own at home, so that she could save herself the fatigue of fetching water; But what about the other refugees? What if there are no strong men in the house, or if there are all women living together?

Now, the problem has been well solved – after the daily routine of filling the water tanks in the refugees' homes, Malone also plans to have the militia dig a public latrine on the edge of the town.

-- Ma Long, who comes from modern times, really can't stand the behavior of refugees who defecate everywhere.

Just as he was triumphant about his plan, Malone suddenly saw a somewhat lonely figure - the militia had scattered into the town, but Althea was still standing there, blinking at her with expressive dark eyes.

"Althea, why are you standing here? What about the rest of your squad? ”

Marlon hurriedly walked over to the girl and asked.

"I don't have a squad."

Althea replied.

"Why?"

Malone asked curiously.

"There are ninety people in total, a team of five people, and I happen to be the extra one."

Althea snapped her fingers and gave Marlon a calculation.

"That's ......"

Marlon nodded, and couldn't help but laugh - it seems that Althea, the commander of the militia brigade, has only become the "Commander of the Light Pole" on his first day in office.

"Then Marlon, shall we go fetch water now? How about starting at Vera's house? ”

Althea didn't know that Malone was making fun of herself in her heart, so she rolled up her sleeve in a thoughtful manner, revealing her smooth and white forearms, and said seriously.

"Fetch water...... Forget it, you can't lift the water tank. ”

Malone shook his head and said.

"You carry it with me!"

Althea said happily.

"I just asked Paul to go because I was too lazy to fetch water for Vera."

Malone shook his head and muttered quietly after hearing Althea's words.

"What?"

Althea's eyes widened and she asked, surprised—she felt as if she had heard something terrible.

"No, nothing...... Althea, put the matter of fetching water aside for now, and let's go find your father. ”

Ma Long hurriedly covered up and said.

"Oh...... What do you want my father to do? ”

Althea is simply "100,000 whys", and there are always endless questions.

"You'll know if you find him."

Malone shook his head helplessly, called Rubes, and began to search for Elo Eberlock in the town.

"Wait for me!"

Althea hurriedly pulled down her sleeves again and hurriedly followed behind Marlon.

……

When Marlon and Althea found Elo Eberlock, he was going door-to-door with the bearded Richard, visiting the refugees who had just settled in the town.

"Sir Lothar, is there anything going on?"

El Ro Eberlock looked surprised when he saw Marlon - he thought that Malone had already led the militia to train.

"Well, it's something...... Is there anything we can do about your pre-war business, Daddy Elro? ”

Marlon and Althea sat down in the living room of the house, where the tables and chairs were still covered with dust, and it seemed that not every house had a hard-working hostess like Vera.

"Almost, old Nelson is a blacksmith, though he is not young, but he is still very strong, I told him to live in the blacksmith's shop first, where the anvil and furnace are still in good condition, although there is not enough charcoal, but to undertake some repair work, to make some knick-knacks, I don't think it will be a problem."

Elo Eberlock took out his "Mayor Notes", flipped through them, and said to Malone.

"Well, what else?"

Malone nodded and asked.

"The furniture and other items in the town will last us at least a year, I don't think the cobblers and carpenters will be of that much use for the time being, and I've only found a few apprentices...... The good news is that there were at least three people who worked as clerks before the outbreak of the war, and I think they could come in handy. ”

Elo Eberlock continued.

"Absolutely...... Three people, right? Uncle Richard, wait a minute, take these three men, take the key to the warehouse, light the candles, and write down everything in the warehouse. We must know what we have and what we lack. ”

Malone said to the bearded Richard.

"Understood, I'll memorize these things with them."

The bearded Richard nodded—it was clear that as an old friend of Elo Eberlock, and with a high reputation among the refugees, he had become the number three in Nighttown.

"I'll ask Vera to keep a record of the food, from now on, everything in the town will be distributed by you, Daddy El Luo, only in this way can we last as long as possible."

Ma Long said earnestly -- In such a difficult time, only by centralizing the distribution of materials can we ensure maximum utilization and no waste.
