Chapter 522: Shock in all directions, the spectacle sets sail!
In the small village, as the number of people increases, a vague social form begins to take shape.
In a collective of more than a thousand people, everyone has their own different greed, anger, and ignorance, good and evil, and beauty.
The villagers are trying to compete for talent level rankings, wanting to live in better and bigger rooms, have more food, and live a better life.
The management is studying how to achieve better results and gain more trust from Sumo in exchange for more authority, and the position will climb higher and higher.
Even these scientific researchers are thinking about how to "resurrect" themselves and regain their human form.
With more and more people, people are not only afraid of the coming disaster, but also afraid that they will be thrown off the chariot while advancing in the depression.
For this opportunity to use the mark, even though Lu Kuan and others knew that the people who should use it most were not them, but the villagers who volunteered to sneak into the enemy camp.
But no matter what, they still chose to fight for it.
This is the first time they have raised their demands in the depression!
"Uncle Su, what you said is obvious. Naturally, we have to consider our own people first when it comes to imprinting. As the saying goes, we must first settle the internal affairs before we fight against foreign aggression!"
"You have no control over the issue of the number of imprints. Don’t worry, as long as we successfully test and use the perfect crack, I can find a way to get not just ten, but even a hundred!”
With a warm smile, Sumo said The voice was light and airy, but when it fell in the head, it shocked all the brains including Su Deben's.
Obviously, compared to the calm on the surface, everyone's inner reactions were obviously much more violent.
"Suma, they, no, we, thank you!"
"It's okay, Uncle Su, don't worry. Your efforts will be indispensable for our collective development in the future. Just put in more effort then, hahaha!"
After saying the previous sentence, Su Deben said because His mind was shaken and he lost control. He exited the machine body on his own initiative, and his consciousness returned to the brain box.
But the strange thing is that the body that usually would be snatched up instantly is now no one "online", and only the empty shell is left standing on the spot.
Step forward and pat the robot on the shoulder, looking at the two big empty eyes on its face and the slightly twitching expression of losing control.
Su Mo was filled with emotions.
If the previous few people were still passers-by, they might choose to leave once the depression reaches a critical moment.
Now, these people are completely relieved!
The moment they got their promise, they voluntarily put their "hearts" over and finally became a part of the depression.
This is what Sumo has wanted to see for a long time, but fortunately, it’s not too late now!
The real continuous horrific disaster has not yet completely arrived, and there is still enough time for the depression to gain one or two rounds of development!
"Fortunately, if there are no accidents, Dad will be able to come when this round of disaster is over."
"When the time comes, I will leave all the mess in the depression to Dad, and I will concentrate on external development and resources. Just upgrade and that's it!"
In terms of professionalism, after such a long period of study, Sumo has become many times more proficient than when he first came to the wasteland.
But this thing, for him with an adventurous personality, is just like forcing a child who doesn't like learning to study forcefully, with little gain and a lot of pain.
There is a certain order of learning, and there is a specialization in the art.
Leave professional matters to professionals.
After thinking through all these twists and turns, he put down the worries in his mind. After arriving on the third floor, Sumo didn't even bother to wash up. He threw himself on the bed and fell asleep.
The intense mental rush last night, coupled with the emotional ups and downs of upgrading resources before.
Both the physical and mental strength are far beyond the limits of normal human power.
Rao Shisumo's physical fitness is now very explosive, but under this consumption, he still feels like "the oil is exhausted".
However, Sumo didn't know this in his sleep.
Just when the resources of the depression were being upgraded, several surrounding neighbors who were ready to make a move were again unconsciously thrown into chaos by the depression.
Four hundred kilometers south along the boundary of the depression.
This is the territory of the ancient tree people.
Unlike the bare plains of the Demon Soul Clan, the territory of the tree people is full of vitality. You can see towering trees of ten to twenty meters crisscrossing the ground everywhere.
If someone who doesn't know the way comes in and doesn't have the help of pointing tools, it will be extremely difficult to get out of this area.
The further you go inside, the higher the density of trees becomes. Regardless of the species, it completely feels like the Amazon rainforest on earth.
Because the tree people do not eat meat and only absorb nutrients from the land and eat rice leaves, the number of animals in this jungle is much higher than in other territories.
Looking down from the air, it only covers an area of fifty square kilometers, and there are no less than a thousand species of animals running around happily, releasing their energy wantonly.
Unfortunately, these little animals today are not as happy as they used to be.
After the vibration in the depression was heard for the first time, as the tree people began to riot, they were so frightened that their whole bodies were shaking like chaff, and they all fell to the ground, trembling.
The vibrations coming from the upgrade of Tieshi Mountain are not earthquakes in the conventional sense.
Its propagation distance is extremely long, and even four to five hundred kilometers away, it can still maintain a vibration amplitude of about a magnitude 5 earthquake.
In the soil, there is no isolation, and the vibration is more like an electric shock. Almost instantly, the tree man rooted in the soil will fall to the ground.
Woo.
Woo.
Having lost most of their combat effectiveness, the central area of the ancient tree people immediately sounded the alarm.
Countless heavily armored tree men jumped out vigorously like beasts opening a gate, their eyes alertly searching for enemies who might invade.
Even the tree lord Zhu Ling put on his own equipment and stood on the city wall to prepare.
"The vibration. The direction of the vibration came from the territory of Soma, the King of Humanity, but we did not find any enemies in this direction"
"Is it Sumo again?"
Listening to his subordinate's breathless report, Zhu Ling frowned, and several pieces of wood on his body were instantly folded together.
Three days ago, when Zhu Chuan returned to the territory and vividly described what he had seen and heard, during this period, the tree people had subtly formed three factions.
One is naturally the main militant faction.
However, what is different from before is that this time the main war faction is not clamoring to launch an attack, but is looking for how to gain the initiative from the next trade.
They coveted the Xiantao that Zhuchuan said could magically increase their strength, but at the same time, they did not want to pay too much in exchange.
Therefore, only force can be sought.
The second is the reconciliation faction represented by Zhu Chuan.
Their goal is to establish long-term and stable trade with Depression. It is best to open up the supply route of goods and generate transactions on time and in quantity.
Then, deepen the relationship between the two sides through trade and jointly fight against surrounding enemies.
As for the last faction, it is the neutral faction led by team leader Zhu Ling.
The situation is somewhat similar to that of the demon soul lord. Although Zhu Ling relied on his strength to convince everyone, he was not completely ignored.
However, due to the previous ethnic structure, he still cannot speak as clearly as Soma in his actions.
His decision needs to be approved by more than 60% of the people before it can be implemented. Otherwise, others will refuse to implement it on the pretext of asking for God's approval.
At this time, the number of the war faction is around 30%, the reconciliation faction is around 35%, and the number of votes he holds is also around 35%.
As long as he chooses either of the two, the order will be quickly carried out.
Before this, Zhu Ling originally wanted to wait until someone came from the depression, and then make a decision based on the performance of the person from the depression.
But at this moment, I feel the vibrations that have just subsided and started to reoccur again.
Extremely rare, he hesitated!
On the other side, the reaction of the Demon Soul Clan was very different from that of the Tree People.
As the law enforcement team with the largest say in the city, although they did not send spies to monitor Somo's departure, they still used the signal sent back by the mark.
As long as they are inside the territory of the Demon Soul Clan, they can get an approximate location.
In order to ensure that the reaction of the mark sent back by Hal, who is transformed into Somo, has indeed entered the After the depression in the field, the law enforcement team was relieved.
However, after this vibration came from the depression.
Looking at the walls with dust falling crazily and the shaking tables, their hearts that had just been put down were lifted again.
Then, groups of well-equipped law enforcement teams quickly poured out of the official premises with high walls.
For a while, the originally noisy city gradually became quiet because of the neat footsteps of thousands of law enforcement teams. However, it's just like the tree man before.
When all the guards closed the city gates, climbed onto the city walls, and found no enemies, their thoughts became equally complicated.
“There is such a secret weapon in this territory of human Soma?”
"It seems that we were right not to touch Hal. As long as we rely on Hal as a bridge, once we can open up the trade routes in human territory, we may be able to obtain weapons to fight against the gods"
!”
“Even if the lord comes back then, I can do it”
Looking in the direction of the depression, the leader of the Demon Soul Clan hidden under the armor has a faint look in his eyes.
Then, fearing that others would notice the flames of desire that were almost coming out of his eyes, the commander swung his cloak and walked down the city wall first.
Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that the person he longed for was actually standing by his side!
Moreover, this fat figure also had the same emotion as him in his heart!
“The current plan, if we want to cause chaos, more people must be involved. The conflict between the exchange and the escort is completely insufficient.”
“Hal, it’s me. The first step to stir up this muddy water!”
“It seems that if the situation is right, I have to go see this Somo and ask for his help!”
In the Empire of Light, countless reformers walked out of the city
In the dwarf territory, more than a thousand ambush soldiers who had just left returned again, with wary faces.
In Somo's long sleep, the depression The neighbors nearby, without exception, all became anxious.
But it is protected by the extremely long strategic depth of the depression and wrapped in a mysterious coat.
Until Somo slept until he woke up at 6:30 in the evening, there was still no one from any race who had the courage to explore the depression.
Sitting up and drinking half a glass of psionic water, Somo opened the game panel and system panel out of habit.
“Hey, this game is really easy to play. I upgraded a lot of resources but it still doesn’t respond.” What the hell!”
Most of the functions in the game panel are still in an indefinite stagnation stage.
After flipping through it for a while, after making sure that the resource upgrade did not affect the internal operations of the game, Sumo nodded with satisfaction and casually took off the panel.
Then, taking a sip of the remaining psionic water, Somo's eyes returned to the system panel.
“In the next eleven days, we need to dig out the boiler room as soon as possible and lay the basic heating pipes. The task is not difficult.”
“But externally, I still have to Go to the tree people's territory to have a look, then go back to the demon soul clan to make arrangements, and try to bring back as many marks as possible."
"As for the internal construction of the depression."
Turn over After looking at several upgrade methods in the system interface and shaking his head for a while, Sumo turned his attention to civilization upgrade.
Among the five requirements required to upgrade civilization in the primitive era.
1. Three types of stone weapon making techniques
2. Skilled stone cave opening techniques
3. Completely break away from raw food
4. Population 50
5. To create a stone statue with a height of no less than 20 meters, the precision error is required to be no more than 50 centimeters (spectacle requirement)
The first four depressions have been perfectly completed before the ocean comes.
Only because of the spectacle of this last item, it has been dragged down until now and it is difficult to advance.
Suma didn’t really attach much importance to the proficiency in stone tool making that was rewarded by the improvement of civilization in the primitive era.
But unfortunately, the system does not have a skip option. If you want to advance to subsequent civilizations, you still have to upgrade step by step.
"This is a problem for a twenty-meter stone statue. In the absence of large-scale engineering equipment, it is not small to build it solely by manpower."
"As for the error of fifty centimeters, it is not difficult. There happen to be professionals in the sculpture field, so it should be easy to do."
"Why don't we just build this wonder in these days?"
Thinking about the feasibility of the wonder building, After many exclusions, it was discovered that given the current strength of the depression, it was indeed possible to have the time and ability to build it.
Suddenly, Sumo became excited!
There is a saying that goes well, wonders are achieved in the prosperous times and fail in the doomsday.
In the past history, only when the country had sufficient strength and had surplus food could we see shocking wonders rise from the ground.
And if it is in a war, it will be even more difficult to save everything, let alone construction.
But the wonders the system requires to be built are not like this.
Follow the prompts on civilization upgrade.
After the wonder is built, it will give attribute bonuses to the people under its command to a certain extent, including but not limited to physical fitness, comprehension ability, learning ability, stress resistance, etc.
Just like the magical power in the Free City of the Demon Soul Clan that makes even Somo covet.
On the surface, the depression is wasting people and money to build fancy things, but inside, it is a bonus on another level.
A little adds up, and once this implicit bonus accumulates to a certain level, it will have incalculable subsequent effects!
“Build, must build!”
"Before the heavy snowfall, we must build the statue no matter what!"
After putting on clothes, going to the hall to wash up a little, with wet hair, Somo walked out of the shelter neatly and went straight to Inside the village.
"Hey, Director, you're awake, you'll be fine in the evening!"
Looking at Somo coming over, the chef in charge of the spoon raised the spoon in his hand and said with a silly smile on his face .
Every time Somo came back from an outing, the village would tacitly prepare a meat meal to express gratitude to fate for the preferential treatment he received from Somo.
Today, nature is no exception.
In the large pots that were already burning, the beef and potatoes purchased earlier were stewed to a pulp.
Around the pot, sheets of dough have been pasted, absorbing the boiling soup inside.
Moreover, as the hot air rushes out from time to time, bursts of pepper scent mixed with the scent of green onions are constantly coming out from inside and floating around.
With only the last twenty or thirty minutes left before the sun sets, the villagers working outside are gradually returning from outside in groups carrying farm tools.
In the washing area on the left side of the village, hundreds of people were already queuing up to wash their faces and hands.
For a time, the depression, which had been deserted during the day, became extremely lively, and there was no trace of the apocalyptic atmosphere.
Sitting quietly at the table, looking at the peaceful scene in front of him, Sumo, who was still a little anxious, stayed in front of the table for a while.
In the sight that lost focus, through the firelight revealed by the torches, Somo's sight became longer and longer, as if he had traveled through time and space and came to the future.
There, the walls of the depression are no longer thin iron rods more than one meter high, but thick alloy walls hundreds of meters high.
The lighting is not torches, but 360-degree ceiling lights with no blind spots.
People in the city, living here, can laugh with peace of mind and be grateful for the wonderful life every day.
Even children can receive corresponding training and learning, allowing civilization to be continuously passed on!
"It's great, I really don't dare to think about it. If there are five thousand people in the depression, ten thousand people, one hundred thousand people! Or even a city..."
"That's right. What a lively scene it is!”
With a long sigh, he looked at Oreo, who was carrying Su Chan, and Moore, who was chasing after me, who had already appeared in his field of vision.
Sumo gradually put away his wandering thoughts and put on his smile again.
Just, in Somo's heart.
A seed called ambition.
But the "sowing" went on quietly!
