Chapter 170 Preparations Before Moving



Chapter 170 Preparations Before Moving

"I don't plan to move to the main city for now. Firstly, I have a lot of things to take care of here, which isn't very convenient in the main city. Secondly, I prefer my freedom, hahaha..."

Hearing Mo Ming's answer, Liu Heng and the others were a little surprised. They never expected that Mo Ming would give up such a great "opportunity".

"Brother, aren't you going to reconsider? After all, this is a rare opportunity!" Liu Heng's voice interrupted Mo Ming's thoughts.

Mo Ming looked up, smiled, and said, "Brother Liu, I've made up my mind. I'm not joining for now, hahaha, we'll talk about it later!"

His tone was relaxed, with a hint of joking, but he had already made up his mind.

This so-called "great opportunity" wasn't that important to him. Rather than being confined to the main city and facing a group of "allies" with differing intentions, he preferred to remain alone and continue his free life.

Seeing this, Liu Heng didn't try to dissuade her further. Instead, he asked Song Yufei, "Little Song, what about you?"

"I haven't decided yet, I'll think about it some more!"

"All right!"

Liu Heng paused for a moment, then continued, "My wife and I have also decided to move into a shelter."

"Hahaha, Lao Liu, I knew you were wise!" Liang Dongshan's tone was a little strange, as if he meant something.

Mo Ming could tell perfectly well, but he simply chose not to dwell on it.

Mo Ming couldn't quite figure out Liu Heng and his wife's true attitude.

Liu Heng remained relatively neutral during the discussion. Although he stated his decision to move in, he did not emphasize the reasons or try to force others to accept his views.

Mo Ming found this attitude somewhat ambiguous. Liu Heng was the initiator of this alliance, but his unclear stance made Mo Ming feel uneasy.

"Now that everyone has stated their position, let's all get ready!"

"Uh-huh!"

"okay!"

......

After the call ended, Mo Ming and Song Yufei briefly exchanged their thoughts.

Mo Ming frankly admitted that his choice not to settle in the main city for the time being was mainly because he did not want to be tied down and preferred to focus on developing his own shelter while maintaining relative freedom.

Song Yufei agreed, and the two quickly reached a consensus, deciding to stay in the shelter and focus on current developments rather than blindly pursuing unknown "opportunities" in the main city.

Meanwhile, on the other side, after the call ended, Liang Dongshan did not give up.

He privately sent messages to Liu Heng, Sun Miaoke, and Lu Mingyu. Although he didn't say it explicitly, his words revealed his dissatisfaction with Mo Ming and even clearly indicated that Mo Ming's "heart was not in the alliance" and that he was not suitable to continue staying in their circle.

Liang Dongshan's intentions were all too clear—to isolate Mo Ming and, by uniting with several others, squeeze him out of the alliance.

However, none of them explicitly supported Liang Dongshan's proposal.

As the initiator of the alliance, Liu Heng conveyed a relatively rational attitude. He told Liang Dongshan that everyone has different pursuits, and Mo Ming's choice did not violate the principles of the alliance. He also advised Liang Dongshan not to be too hostile.

Sun Miaoke and Lu Mingyu, on the other hand, appeared even more ambiguous. They neither echoed Liang Dongshan nor explicitly refuted him, but simply avoided the issue with vague statements, leaving the matter in an ambiguous and unclear state.

This situation makes the matter delicate.

Liang Dongshan grew increasingly repulsed by Mo Ming, while Liu Heng, though showing some tolerance, did not truly demonstrate support for Mo Ming.

As for Sun Miaoke and Lu Mingyu, their tendency to follow the crowd and remain silent undoubtedly made Mo Ming's situation even more awkward.

This seemingly unified alliance is actually harboring deeper rifts that are widening.

Mo Ming was unaware of this and was preoccupied with figuring out how to relocate the shelter.

Relocating shelters is a major undertaking, and the most important task is determining the future location.

The island that Xiao Jin scouted was quite large and seemed like an ideal place to live, but whether it could actually shoulder the responsibility of developing a shelter in the future still required further surveying and planning.

Mo Ming stood on the second-floor balcony of the shelter, gazing at the surroundings, his heart filled with complex emotions. This relocation was an opportunity to escape his current predicament and embrace a new life, but it also came with unknown risks.

A good landing spot will bring more security to the shelter, while a wrong choice will not only make the migration futile, but may also cause all efforts to be in vain, and may even lead to being destroyed by a bright orange-level ferocious beast due to oversight.

Therefore, he decided to take the initiative and personally lead the pets to the island to scout out a suitable place to settle down. After confirming that it was safe, he would then move the shelter there completely.

Mo Ming already had a choice in mind about which pet to bring on this trip.

Now, most of his pets, after long-term training and growth, have reached the Crimson Purple level. Their powerful strength has boosted his confidence, and their improved combat power has temporarily put his mind at ease about the safety of the sanctuary.

Newly promoted Crimson Purple level pets like Suansuan and Caicai are now capable of standing on their own. Jin Yi and Jin San have also reached this level, and together with veteran fighters like Shangshang, Cuicui, and Huahua, they will be the most solid guardians of the shelter.

Besides, the other three Golden Horned Sky Bulls, though still one step away from breaking through, are not far from the Crimson Purple level. With such a lineup, the sanctuary can easily cope with any sudden threats.

Before leaving, Mo Ming specifically convened a brief meeting with Stone and the other two, giving them clear instructions. His departure was only temporary; once the landing point was confirmed, he would immediately return to the shelter and then initiate a large-scale migration.

During this period, Stone and others will still be fully responsible for the daily defense and operation of the shelter.

Due to their unique talents, Xiong Da, Xiong Er, Xiao Jin, and Meng Ling naturally became the bodyguards accompanying them on this trip.

These pets are not only powerful, but also each has its own unique characteristics, making them perfect for this exploration mission. Big Bear and Little Bear are high-damage offensive warriors; no matter the enemy, they can play an absolute deterrent role in head-on battles.

Most importantly, they can shrink their bodies, travel discreetly, and avoid attracting the attention of other ferocious beasts.

Xiao Jin excels at flying and long-range reconnaissance; its speed and agility greatly improve exploration efficiency. As for Meng Ling, this mysterious pet has extremely strong perception on a spiritual level, which can help Mo Ming avoid hidden dangers at the first moment.

Once these four pets work together, they can handle almost any uncertainty.

In addition, Mo Ming made sure to prepare plenty of food, fresh water and other survival tools overnight, such as ropes, knives, and lights. He even prepared several sets of spare medical supplies in case of emergency.

This reconnaissance may take a considerable amount of time, therefore, everything must be well prepared.

On the morning of the departure day, Mo Ming and his pets were all ready to go. He gave the shelter's territory one last look before setting off on his journey to the island with Xiong Da, Xiong Er, Xiao Jin, and Meng Ling.
