Chapter 947: Solitary Undeads
Although they didn’t have tools to dig the ground, but they were from the abyss. They could easily dig the ground with their demonized claws. What surprised Dudian was that Zac’s magic marks were not only strong in attack but also very good at drilling the ground. He was like a loach and in less than 10 minutes he was able to dig to a depth of 100 meters, he touched the rock layer deep in the mud layer.
“There is iron in these stones but they have rusted. They should be used by the people in the upper epoch to cast buildings and fixed them.”Jason said after looking at the concrete blocks.
“The people in the upper epoch are very intelligent. They feel that they are smarter than us.”Zac replied in order to avoid Jason from talking to himself.
Dudian frowned: “We have to move fast. We are not sure if there are any iron ores in this area. If there aren’t any then we have to move to another place.”
Jason stopped chatting and followed Zach to help him move the soil.
After a few hours, the three of them worked together to dig a 400-500 meter deep well. They were mining some impurities iron ore, low-grade copper ore and some other elements from the deepest layer of rock, they even mined an extremely small gold mine.
Although the output was low compared to some large mining areas that were rich in minerals, but for Dudian, it was barely enough.
He let Zaite and Jason continue to mine the ore while he dug another 20-meter deep pit. He used the ordinary stone to build walls around the pit to make an underground furnace.
Jason saw Dudian busy in the pit when he returned to the surface: “What is this for?”
“To refine iron ore.”
“Do you know how to refine iron ore?”
“Why else would you look for iron ore?”
“UH…”
Jason was choked by Dudian. He smiled but wasn’t angry. He was aware of Dudian’s character and didn’t care about it. He laughed: “You are right. Do you need my help?”
“Can you use stone to cast stone pots?”Dudian asked.
Jason thought for a moment: “It should be possible…”
“Then go and find firewood. The more the better.”Dudian said.
Jason helplessly coughed. He looked around the plain and sneaked towards the woods in the south.
After Dudian built the underground furnace and sealed all the holes in the surroundings, he looked at Zac and Jason who were sitting on the side: “You will start the fire and wash the ore.”
Zac looked at him curiously: “Have you smelted iron ore before?”
“No.”
“Then how do you know?”
“I’m smart.”
”…”
The short chat ended once again. Zac jumped down and picked up the firewood that Jason had found. He threw it to the bottom of the furnace and lit it. Dudian saw that Zac had filled the bottom of the furnace with firewood. The flame was very weak. He slightly shook his eyebrows: “Don’t you know how to light a fire?”
Zach was stunned: “Isn’t the fire already lit?”
“The fire is too small.”
“But the firewood is already filled.”
“The firewood is already filled. How can there be room for the flame to burn?”
Zach was stunned. Although he had never done this kind of work before but he understood what Dudian meant. He immediately took out half of the firewood and the flame increased.
Zach was a bit surprised. He shook his head: “I didn’t expect that there would be so many ways to do such simple things.”
Jason looked at the piles of minerals: “Do we need to wash the iron ore? But there aren’t so many sources of water…”
Dudian shook his head: “I’ll wash it. You can classify the minerals.”
Jason coughed: “How do I classify it?”
Dudian looked down and picked it up. He distinguished iron ore from copper ore and other minerals such as coal and oil sands.
Jason observed Dudian’s classification and quickly learned it. He followed the law and saw Dudian rubbing the sticky stone on the surface of the iron ore.
“Is this washing?”Jason was stunned.
Dudian slowly said: “It is a simple cleaning of the iron ore to prevent other trace elements from being added to it.”
Jason understood and also followed the example to clean up the iron ore.
Dudian waited for the temperature of the underground furnace to be about the same. He threw the cleaned iron ore into the furnace and covered it with a huge stone cover.
Jason took the initiative to pick up firewood when there wasn’t much firewood.
Dudian used the remaining stone to build a wall. He saw Dudian build a wall to surround the surroundings, he asked: “These stones won’t be able to stop the monster’s attack. Do you want to dig some harder granite?”
Dudian glanced at him: “This is to shelter from the rain.”
Zach was stunned for a moment. He decided not to take the initiative to talk to dudian.
Dudian had just finished building the wall when he saw Zach’s figure come back. There was no firewood in his hand but he was holding a… Human Figure?
Dudian’s pupils shrank as he looked at the figure.
Soon he saw that Jason was holding a human but it was an infected zombie.
Jason ran all the way to Dudian and threw the female zombie to the ground. She looked to be in her twenties but her mouth was cracked and her fangs were exposed, her lips couldn’t be closed. Her face was twisted and her eyes were red. There was no rational light in her eyes.
Zac noticed the UNDEADS and quickly jumped up: “Undeads? There are undeads here?”
Dudian immediately said: “You should start the fire. Once the temperature drops then it will be difficult to raise the temperature.”
Zac looked at him. In the end he turned back to the underground furnace and continued to start the fire.
Dudian squatted down to look at the clothes of the undeads. The clothes were torn and stained with dried brown blood. The breasts of the undeads were exposed but the skin was wrinkled, she was as black as an African but she wasn’t an African but an Asian.
Dudian carefully identified the clothes for a moment before he recognized that they were from the old era. His heart sank, he looked at Jason: “They are undeads from the previous era. I guess this land is the same as the wall of God of war. There are monsters and undeads everywhere. There are also fire dragons.”
“When we attacked the god of war wall, I found that those fire dragons seemed to be able to command monsters. could they be the rulers of this land?”Jason asked.
