Chapter 46: The Foundation
Thick smoke billowed up, and streams of smoke and flames rushed straight into the sky like waving flags.
In the thick smoke, the wolf-like and tiger-like Mapuche cavalry let out loud and strange shouts.
The gunshots seemed so weak amidst the clatter of horses’ hooves and shouts, and although the Henry rifles of the escorts fired very quickly, they could not stop the crazy Mapuche people. Thousands of Mapuche people tore through their defenses like a tide.
A breeze blew, and Zhu Xianhai, who was holding the Henry rifle in his hand, looked at the rifle helplessly. The bullets were empty. Looking at the Mapuche people who were waving spears and riding on war horses and rushing towards him, and looking at the people who kept falling under the spears, Zhu Xianhai could only shout.
"Retreat, retreat to the ship!"
At this moment, he no longer had the previous high spirits.
Let’s retreat to the boat first!
At this moment, a sound of breaking air came from behind...
Before Zhu Xianhai could react, the flying spear hit his back accurately.
“Puff…Crack…”
Along with the sound of flesh being pierced and bones breaking, Zhu Xianhai fell straight down.
The man did not fall to the ground. The spear pierced his chest and made him fall down. The tip of the spear was stuck in the ground, and the man was hanging there at an angle, struggling in pain.
[On May 26, 1861, you died...]
…
The Sims finally ends with "death" once again.
"Fuck...you...fucking!"
Zhu Xianhai cursed as he exited the simulation. He rubbed his chest and felt sick to his stomach.
The spear pierced his chest and slashed diagonally into his stomach. The feeling of being pierced was really unpleasant !
The first few times he was shot, he didn't have much reaction except waiting to die.
At most it's just physical discomfort.
But now, after the spear pierced his body, the pain was real, and he had lasted so long before he died and lay flat on his back.
Especially when the severe pain lasted for such a long time, it was really uncomfortable.
Until now, even though his heart was still beating rapidly, Zhu Xianhai could still feel the pain of his heart being pierced.
"Damn it, this place where no one lives is not safe! This living environment is too bad!"
Zhu Xianhai muttered to himself.
He originally thought that compared to the bustling Buenos Aires, the remote and barbaric land was a safer place.
At least we don't have to worry about those white-skinned people who have ulterior motives and eat bones without spitting out the residue.
But who would have thought that compared to the white people, there is another group of people - the Mapuche people.
My goodness, this group of people didn't even show up, and as soon as they arrived, they attacked with thousands of troops, and they were going to kill them all.
No wonder Argentina has not been able to occupy the Pampas until now, and no wonder the Pataconia Plateau is a no-man's land.
After all this time, it’s not that they don’t want to, but they can’t!
They were thankful that those fearless Mapuche people didn't attack Buenos Aires, so why do they still want to occupy other people's territory?
This is simply a short man wanting to reach the sky, without knowing how high the sky is and how deep the earth is.
…
But what about me?
I want to start a business in someone else's territory.
Isn't it just wishful thinking to pick the moon from the sky?
However, after a moment, Zhu Xianhai grinned and almost laughed out loud.
What wishful thinking?
The Mapuche people are not worth mentioning at all!
It's no big deal!
But in just a moment, he thought of a way to gain a foothold there.
And you don’t have to worry about being attacked by the other party.
The virtual light screen was flickering, and the system was still prompting him.
[This simulation ends.]
[Simulation state: the life of a pioneer]
[You have not achieved anything in this simulation. When planning the Nanhua town, you did not consider the large-scale attack by the Mapuche. You were unable to resist the invasion of the Mapuche, resulting in more than a thousand casualties. The simulation failed.]
[Experience value -500, current experience value 3700.]
“Fuck!”
After spitting, Zhu Xianhai was a little too tired to complain. He suffered a huge loss this time!
500 experience points!
When the free times are used up, you can only rely on experience points to simulate. If you want to use your own experience points to smooth out the pits on the road of life, how can you do it without experience points?
Many things are like this, we are like pigs before the event and wise men after the event.
Many times, people always make mistakes. At the beginning, it seems no big deal , but once an accident happens, the result is undoubtedly catastrophic.
But if I knew the result first, everything would change. Just like the previous times of danger, if it weren't for the system, I would have died a long time ago.
This world is too dangerous.
One careless move could cost you your life.
He had originally used a system bug to become a cross-border expert and promote world progress on his own, but who would have thought that he would make such low-level mistakes one after another. It was simply unforgivable.
But at the moment Zhu Xianhai is feeling very uncertain.
"I was careless!"
After such a long sigh, Zhu Xianhai became secretly alert.
"Don't think that the world is in my hands just because I have the system. First of all, you have to be more vigilant!"
After this three times of self-reflection, Zhu Xianhai, who was originally still yawning, could no longer sleep. He lay on the table that day and sketched out the new "Nanhua Town". He even specially found a sea chart and a map and used them to find a suitable location.
…
In the next few days, the "Annlies" sailed safely. For the people on board, the biggest danger was probably that the ship was too crowded, which made people worry about the outbreak of infectious diseases.
Although Captain Luke mentioned this issue again and again, Zhu Xianhai was very calm. The result in the life simulator was - everything went well!
At least until they arrived at "Nanhua", everything went well.
On November 20, a few hours later, the "Anlis" finally arrived at its destination, San Antonio Bay on the west coast of Viedma, which is at the same latitude as Viedma and less than 160 kilometers away in a straight line. Viedma, located on the left bank of the Negro River, is also the southernmost point of the Argentine border, while San Antonio Bay is outside the Argentine border.
As the ship sailed along the cliff into San Antonio Bay, Zhu Xianhai looked at the bay which was several kilometers wide, thought for a while, then pointed at the bay and said to the Chinese workers standing on the deck.
"I declare this place - is Nanhua!"
He seemed a little excited at this time. Finally, on this day - November 20, 1860, two months and ten days after coming to this era, he owned a piece of land of his own!
