nDara picked up a stick and drew what the new tribe would look like after including the benefits the entire landscape had to offer whilst Uncle Min and Ji Wang looked on…

nHe drew three circles and divided the innermost circle into three with one line facing the North, and the other two facing the East and West respectively;

n

"These two lines are ditches filled with water separating this lower half from these two upper halves…

" Dara explained pointing to the two lines that were facing East and West of the tribe...

nDara drew what one can consider a Benz logo, with the two lower hands being their new waterway and the one pointing up and north being the way that led to the tribe gate…

nThe plateau was in the part that was demarcated by water on both sides, as well as the farm, the store and vault…

nThen on either sides of the road that leads to the tribe gates, the human settlements would be to the left and the Obun settlements to the right…

n

"Then what about the tribe defenses?

" Uncle Min asked, and Dara drew two circles outside the logo;

n

"This first circle would be the outside Ring of Fire, and this second one would be the Ring of Death with the tribe wall being in-between the two…

" Dara explained as Uncle Min and Ji Wang nodded;

n

"As for the new type of shelter, they will all look like this…

"

nDara began to draw the structural blueprint of a type of residence by drawing seven curved slabs stacked atop one another, then he split each of this slabs into a dozen smaller boxes;

n

"The new shelter would be seven stories high, and each of the floors would be divided into twelve segments…

"

n

"The first ten segments would be on either sides of the building, ten facing the tribe walls and the remaining ten facing the plateau…

"

n

"The last two segments would be a room full of baths and lavatories that run straight through inbuilt channels on the wall, and down into a massive underground pit alongside the bath water which would then help prevent the tribe from stinking or maggots from festering within the pits…

"

nDara explained as he drew a curved rectangle on the ground, and within this rectangle, he drew ten smaller boxes one either sides of the rectangle before drawing a line through the middle;

n

"This would be a pathway with rooms on either sides, and then when we reach the end of the tenth rooms, there would be a bath area that closes the entire width of the structure…

" Dara explained as Ji Wang and Uncle Min nodded in comprehension;

n

"This bathroom would be as large as the length of the entire structure with four walls that divide them into five bath hubs…

" Dara added;

n

"Then we can put a door behind these bathroom and have it lead into this twelfth box which would serve as a lavatory of the same sizes…

" Ji Wang caught up on time whilst Uncle Min nodded at the idea…

n

"We should also add a reception or relaxation area, where people can hang around without having to leave the building…

" Uncle Min suggested;

n

"Yes, I plan on using the ground floor for exactly that… We would have the men take the rooms that faces the wall while the ladies would stay within the rooms that faces the plateau…

" Dara added;

n

"If we pair two men and women per room that would mean the structure would be able to only accommodate about 240 people in total…

" Ji Wang did a quick calculation before pointing out;

n

"Yes, and we will have ten of these structures built in both the Human area to the left and the Obun are to the right…

" Dara looked to both of them for contributions;

n

"But that would mean the human area to the left would only be able to house 2400 people, and if we calculate everyone in the tribe at the moment, we are almost 2100…

"

n

"Wouldn't that mean that we won't be able to rescue everyone we find in the next Qi Stone Farm we hit?

" Ji Wang and Uncle Min chipped in respectively;

n

"Well, no one said we couldn't expand the tribe, after all, all these jungle grounds doesn't belong to anyone, and the only ones who can lay claim to it detest the place and see it as hell…

"

n

"So, that means we can take as much of it as possible…

"

n

"You read my mind Ji Wang…

" Min Hong smiled slightly;

n

"But where would these people stay before we finish the expansion?

" Uncle Min asked;

n

"They would have to manage in the reception areas of each structures and even temporarily share with the Obuns till the expansion is completed…

"

nDara responded and whilst that didn't sound too pleasing, the trio felt it is a necessary but temporary sacrifice the people will have to make…

nAfter all, they had no hope of escape or living, and if all they had to do was temporarily share residence with the Obun's till the expansion was done, then they should have no complaints about it, and anyone of them who feels otherwise would be free to leave the tribe…

n

"Good… Now that we have the blueprints, do you know how we will manage to build such a tall structure and ensure that it would be safe to withstand heavy damage?

" Ji Wang asked;

n

"I know the foundation and the skeletal structure of the building has to be made from the hardest steel we can find or manage to forge…

" Dara explained;

n

"We will also need concretes since the soil here would crumble under such weight…

" He added as he looked towards the duo for their contributions once again;

n

"I think I might be able to help with that…

" Before the duo could go on any longer, a thick voice floated over from up ahead, and Dara smiled in relief when he heard the voice;

n

"I was really getting worried about how long you will stay unconscious…

"

nDara responded as the trio looked ahead to see a burly guy walking over with his entire chest wrapped and bandaged with strips of precisely cut soft clothes, and though, there were bits of blood stains on them, the burly guy was looking much more healthy than expected…
