Chapter 5640 Darkness is Coming
Tang Zhen wants to use these spiritual stones to build a large rune array to capture the flowing clouds in the sky.
Tang Zhen will definitely not miss those floating treasures easily.
The lost people all know that clouds represent huge wealth and are the goals of their crazy pursuit.
But the clouds cannot be controlled. They dance wildly in the sky, and the lost ones chase them desperately on the ground, not knowing where they will end up.
If you can control the clouds and make them land at a designated place, you will definitely get a lot of benefits.
Every lost person has had similar ideas, but ultimately found it impossible to realize them.
The flowing cloud is indeed a solid form, not an air mass condensed by water mist, but it does not mean that it can be easily controlled.
When it moves in the air, it possesses great power, like a moving iceberg.
If you dare to block someone who is overestimating his own capabilities, he will probably be smashed to pieces.
There was once a plan for the Lost to intercept moving clouds in the air
Sending a large number of Lost directly into the sky was no less difficult than intercepting the clouds.
Looking at the Lost City, I am afraid no one can do this.
Some people have tried to intercept and capture on the ground.
You need a rope that is long enough and tough enough, and then find a way to project it high into the air.
Build anchors in the ground to secure the rope, thereby limiting the movement of clouds in the sky.
This seemingly simple operation is actually even more unreliable.
What kind of rope can pull the clouds that move quickly in the sky like icebergs?
Even if there is such a rope, how can it be sent thousands of meters into the air and then the flowing clouds can be firmly fixed?
If you can really grab the cloud, the ground anchor may not be able to pull it in, but it will be dragged around.
In short, this plan is completely whimsical and has no possibility of being realized.
Now Tang Zhen wants to do the same thing.
But his operation was definitely not whimsical, but carefully deduced.
Confirm your operation to truly control the clouds.
The specific effect will not be known until it is used. It cannot guarantee success, and there is even a possibility of failure.
Even if there are risks, you have to give it a try.
Not long after, Lao Mao and others received a mission to collect more stones and wood to build in a nearby open space.
They were a little confused about Tang Zhen’s real purpose of doing this, but they still carried it out without hesitation.
Not everything needs to be answered, as that will only increase your mental burden.
As long as the final direction meets your expectations, there is no need for any hesitation.
As the number of members in the gathering place increases, the work efficiency also increases, and there is no need to be cautious when doing things in one's own territory.
Since the establishment of the gathering place, this factory area has become Tang Zhen's territory, and other lost people will try to stay away as much as possible.
I don’t want to have a dispute with this powerful man because of some interests, as that will only bring unnecessary losses.
Besides, this factory area has been inspected many times, and it is no exaggeration to say that it has been scratched to the ground.
Every valuable item has basically been found and taken away, leaving only useless bricks in ruins.
There is no need to rob such a barren area.
The strange monsters wandering in the city will not enter the factory area in a short time because of the obstruction of several gathering places.
No need to worry about safety issues, you can naturally operate freely.
In order to improve work efficiency, Tang Zhen also took action himself and helped refine some parts.
Using these parts to make working tools has saved everyone a lot of effort.
Tang Zhen was not idle either. He directed the construction on site and solved problems on the spot.
Pillars built of stone and with strange shapes rise one after another. The pillar seemed to be a simple one, but there was something else going on inside. There was a rune iron core refined by Tang Zhen.
There are also a large number of spiritual stones placed inside the pillars, filling the gaps.
It may be difficult for outsiders to believe that there are so many bright crystals inside the ugly-looking pillars.
On the ground between these pillars, there are also complex patterns, which are also inlaid with spiritual stones.
The appearance of the Heavenly Spiritual Stone is neat, which eliminates the trouble of cutting, thus saving a lot of time.
However, laying this kind of line also consumes a lot of spiritual stones. Seeing the old cat and others is extremely painful.
They had never seen such a squandering of spiritual stones, which simply subverted their imagination.
However, they also knew that Tang Zhen must have his own purpose, and they just had to obey his orders.
During the construction process, Tang Zhen noticed that the sky was gradually darkening.
Although the process was very slow and almost difficult to detect, Tang Zhen still noticed the change.
"Such a change indicates that the polar night is coming."
When the old cat spoke, there was a trace of worry on his face. Obviously, the arrival of the polar night is definitely not a good thing.
Since arriving in the Lost City, the old cat has survived three changes of day and night, and his experience is the best proof.
Whenever the polar night comes, the temperature will drop rapidly, and people often freeze to death.
The low visibility on the streets creates convenient conditions for monsters to launch attacks more easily.
Whenever the polar night falls, monsters from outside the city will fly into the city in groups.
Like a ghost, it glides silently above the streets, snatching away the unlucky ones and using them as food.
Once it falls into the hands of a monster, there is basically no possibility of survival.
Lao Mao once heard someone say that a guy was captured by a monster. He thought he would definitely die, but he narrowly escaped death.
According to the scene he described, these monsters will build temporary nests for resting and stacking food.
The monster's lair is filled with the bones of its victims. The sight is extremely terrifying.
His shoulder was scratched by the monster, but when the monster was feeding the baby bird, he was lucky enough to roll into a gap in the building next to him.
Using the advantage of being thin, he avoided the monsters and finally escaped back to the gathering place luckily.
Whenever the polar night arrives, various gathering places will reduce activities and reduce food supplies.
But every time the clouds appear and spiritual stones fall from the sky, they will take risks and take action again.
At this time, to snatch spiritual stones and boxes, you not only have to compete with the lost, but also avoid attacks from monsters.
The flying monster from outside the city also has a weird characteristic and likes to collect shiny things.
The spiritual stones falling from the sky and the boxes of different colors are all items that flying monsters like to collect.
The monster will pile the boxes it picks up in its lair, and then swallow the spirit stones into its belly to store them.
By swallowing spiritual stones, the flying monster's strength will increase and become a more terrifying existence.
After becoming stronger, monsters will also take the initiative to attack gathering places, often causing considerable casualties.
Therefore, when the polar night approaches, many gathering places will control the lights and even move underground to avoid being targeted by monsters.
Old Cat's narration evoked the memories of some lost people, and they all told what happened to them.
Tang Zhen did not stop him, but let everyone talk, thereby obtaining more useful information.
Time passes quietly, the sky becomes darker and darker, and the polar night is coming much faster than imagined.
Everyone also felt a sense of urgency and accelerated their actions to complete the project before the polar night came.
Otherwise, it will be very difficult to do things in a dark environment, and you will also be exposed to more risks.
