Chapter 915 Gao Wen's Melancholy

After dealing with Ke Luo's affairs, count the time, and then Luo Ji should also prepare for the winter.

At the same time, it is natural to be concerned about the construction progress of the border road.

Several months have passed since the construction of highways between cities.

But after all, this is the first time such a huge project has been carried out.

The workers have no experience in this area, so the efficiency is not improved at once.

Today, the road between Gaoling City, the western border of Wanjie Civilization, and the Oasis City in the back has only just been built for a quarter.

But aside from the efficiency issue, with a modern man like Gao Wen in charge of the work, there is still no problem with the quality of the road.

And as the construction experience of the workers is gradually enriched, the efficiency will definitely be faster and faster in the future.

After confirming the situation with Gawain several times, it was obvious that Luo Ji didn't need to worry about the matter here.

So Luo Ji was quite relieved to focus on the work in front of him.

The days passed and the weather gradually turned cooler, making everyone clearly aware that winter was approaching them.

At this moment, on the road connecting Gaoling City and Oasis City to the west of Wanjie Civilization, Gao Wen, wearing a helmet, is riding his pony horse, running back and forth on the edge of the construction site. on.

It can be said that the progress of the project is being confirmed very seriously.

After all, he also knew the importance of this road.

Wanjie Civilization is about to improve its rank, as a grasshopper tied to the same rope.

The stronger Luo Ji is, the safer he will be, even if he doesn't care.

"The No. 1 machine over there, hurry up, this piece is not flattened, how many times have I said it? After it is paved, it is pressed back and forth several times. If the road is uneven, what is the difference from before?"

In the time he spoke, a large-scale machine suspected of being a road roller was slowly pushed over.

There is no doubt that this is also a product of goblin technology.

Of course, this is definitely human-driven.

It takes five people to operate such a machine.

One person controls the direction, and the other four need to cooperate with each other to slam the pedals and make the machine move.

Although a lot of principles are used here, the burden on the operator is reduced.

But no one can deny that this is still a very difficult job.

The four human workers who were stepping on the pedals on the road roller were already sweating profusely.

After watching the roller press back and forth several times, and after confirming that the roller was flat, Gawain nodded in satisfaction and motioned them to continue pressing down a piece.

And he himself quickly spread out the map and confirmed the progress of the route.

Compared with the original time, the efficiency is now more than a little bit faster.

Continue at this efficiency, and half of the project here should be completed before winter.

If there is no heavy snow in winter, I think that the road between Gaoling City and Oasis City will be completely paved in the spring of next year.

Thinking of this, Gao Wen couldn't help expressing his satisfaction with his work efficiency.

After holding a pen and making a few marks on the map, Gawain closed the map and touched his stomach, which was about to be suffocated, and then glanced at the distance a little depressed...

"Damn, why hasn't my takeaway arrived yet?"

After all, they were working outside the city.

Having to rush back to the city after work every day is obviously too troublesome and wastes a lot of time.

Therefore, during the construction period, the workers camped in the suburbs to rest.

In order to ensure the safety of the workers, Luo Ji also sent a team of soldiers to protect them.

As for the three meals, it is naturally a large pot of rice cooked by the cooks in the camp.

The food can only be said to be average, there is no concept of delicious or unpalatable.

But Gawain was obviously not used to it.

He is also a goblin king after all, and he still has the privilege of opening a small stove for himself.

So I hired someone to spend money to drive a horse-drawn carriage to the nearest city and inn to help him buy the ingredients he wanted to eat.

Then send it here and let the cook in the camp help him do it.

Usually, the date is set, and several days of ingredients will be delivered each time.

The food is better than the big pot rice.

He has been like this for months.

The workers were not dissatisfied either.

Gao Wen is willing to pay, someone is willing to drive a carriage to buy it, and use the money to do things, it's that simple.

But this time it was weird.

It stands to reason that the ingredients for this trip should have been delivered three days ago.

But the fact is that no one has been seen yet.

All the ingredients delivered the previous time were all eaten the day before yesterday.

This caused Gao Wen to have to eat a big pot of rice for a day yesterday.

"Could it be that I'm being too easy-going? Is this a plan to go slack off? With salary deduction, I must deduct his salary!"

Just when Gawain was thinking so viciously.

In the distance, a soldier on a fast horse rushed outside the camp at an extremely fast speed.

And after dismounting, he locked Gawain's position at a glance, and then walked towards him quickly.

Seeing this scene, Gawain's eyelids jumped decisively.

His intuition was telling him that there was absolutely nothing good!

"Zhao Tao, captain of the third patrol team in Gaoling City, has met Lord Gawain."

"The people on the patrol..."

Gao Wen, who had confirmed the identity of the other party, frowned slightly.

"What's the matter with the people on the patrol looking for me?"

"It's like this, did Mr. Gao Wen hire a young man named Zhang Peng to help him deliver the ingredients on a regular basis some time ago?"

Hearing this, Gao Wen's heart skipped a beat.

"That's right, but I haven't seen him since the last time he delivered the ingredients. What happened?"

"The thing is, Zhang Peng's mother reported to us five days ago that her son was missing, and we also learned from the mother that Zhang Peng was working for you recently, so we followed him. 's job route was searched along the way..."

Having said that, Zhao Tao's voice paused.

"As a result, Zhang Peng's body was found in a mountainous area three hundred kilometers away from the city."

Well, his intuition came true.

Gawain couldn't help pinching his eyebrows.

"So, are you looking for me?"

"Lord Gawain, I came here this time, on the one hand, to confirm some specific circumstances, and on the other hand, I want to ask you to confirm the identity of the deceased, and at the same time, if you can provide us with any clues, then It couldn't be better."

"Then, let's do it..."

Gawain never expected such a thing to happen.

Myriad Realms civilization is based on a complete rule of law. If something like this happens, as the person associated with the case, even as the goblin king, he is obliged to cooperate with the investigation.
