Chapter 745 A big gamble! Standing at the fork of the future!
As early as eight years ago.
When choosing the location of Tianyuan Territory in this place, you should have guessed the many situations that you may face in the future.
It faces the sea to the west, inland to the east, mountains to the south, and depth to the north.
Here, almost all the advantageous geographical conditions are gathered together, and it has innate advantages that are difficult to match in other locations.
And after the expansion of the New World and several subsequent catastrophic terrain changes, this advantage has been further amplified.
Take the terrain as an example. The repeated compression of the mountains has undoubtedly brought a variety of different terrain conditions to the interior of the territory.
Not only have there been plain landforms that are conducive to wheat cultivation, hilly landforms that are conducive to the growth of fern root plants, but also basins and mountains with large temperature differences between day and night that can cultivate special species, as well as large rivers rich in aquatic products running through them. Pass.
Looking at the entire New World, these conditions can only be enjoyed by the top three territories with a huge area.
Tianyuan Territory is the only one besides these three!
And until today, the reason why Tianyuan Territory can develop to such a scale.
The credit for this innate advantage can account for three out of ten, and it is one of the success factors that cannot be ignored at all.
But because of this, it’s not just foreigners who are eyeing this place.
The surrounding large-scale human gathering places are undoubtedly more greedy for this land.
"Wuya Mansion, Lion King Banner, Sifang Road, Hanino Federation, Gaganal Divine Cult"
"These five territories are the five most hostile to us among all the surrounding territories. Once the agreement is released, the possibility of them coming to attack is higher than 90%"
"Among them, Wuya Mansion and us The closest one is only 450 kilometers long in a straight line, followed by the Gaganal Cult, which is 680 kilometers away, and the remaining three are all about 800 kilometers away."
Chen Shen pointed out from a distance Looking at the map on the wall, he quietly talked about the difficulties that the territory would face in five months.
Different from the sparsely populated Tianyuan Territory, even the smallest one among these five territories has nearly one million people. Among them, Wuya Mansion, which has the largest population, even has three million people, which is enough to account for eight of the Tianyuan Territory’s population. Nine times as much.
Once the war starts, I am afraid that within a few rounds, the defense lines of Tianyuan territory will be completely defeated, and they can only retreat towards the mountains or the sea.
Even if all the soldiers could put aside their worries and fight to the death with all their strength, the results would not be much different.
An ordinary man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a jade.
Although the development of Tianyuan Territory has not slowed down in the past eight years, it still cannot open up a huge gap with other territories as before.
Even in Somo's eyes.
This is already a dead end, a dead end that cannot be broken no matter what on the frontal battlefield!
"Didn't you say that the direction of the ship should not be forcibly controlled by the captain, but should be affected by the direction of the water flow? Now I want to hear your judgment on which direction the big ship of the Territory should go in such a rapid current. Go," Chen Shen said in a deep voice.
Actually, after saying these words, he felt a little regretful.
Until now, only a few people in the territory know about the cancellation of the agreement. It is a secret among secrets.
Logically speaking, he shouldn't be so confidant to a stranger he just met.
But human psychology is so wonderful.
After realizing that the other party was definitely related to Somo, he directly chose to trust his intuition and tell everything.
Even.
Take the risk!
"The way forward" Somo took a deep breath and exhaled the turbid air suppressed in his chest.
One-stop service.
When Chen Shen said this, his brain had already begun to think rapidly, connecting all the information he got.
The non-attack agreement will be closed in five months, and the zombie disaster will come in one year.
The two seem to have no connection at all, but in fact they are inextricably linked.
“The game does not allow me to view the disaster in the wasteland in the second year, so I cannot directly determine whether the zombie disaster broke out or not.”
“Judging from the number of humans, the wasteland In two years, the disaster should not be extremely fatal, so I can be absolutely sure”
"The zombie disaster that was supposed to break out on a large scale was intercepted by the means I arranged in advance in the second year of the wasteland. Either the source was cut off, or the outbreak ended on a small scale."
"So , the territory must still retain the complete dissimilation agent and detoxification technology.”
While thinking crazily, Somo closed his eyes slightly, trying to slow down the impact of external light on his thinking.
If the territory does have the means to remove the biological dissimilarity.
Besieged by these five major forces, if you want to make a comeback and restart the disaster that should have broken out, it is definitely the best choice.
Relying on the antidote, Tianyuan Territory can easily solve the dilemma and even expand externally, changing the previous dilemma.
The only difficult thing to deal with is whether the magnitude of this disaster will suddenly become uncontrollable, leading to an accelerated rate of human destruction.
“Stand!”
“No wonder Chen Shen asked me more than once whether I should move forward or backward”
“The territory is now, definitely There are two positions”
"First, restart the disaster, give up illusions, perfectly solve this crisis, and at the same time start the pace of expansion"
"Second, we must not open Pandora's box and bring more casualties to mankind. No matter how well-prepared you are, once a zombie disaster breaks out, countless innocent people will definitely die as a result of this disaster!”
Thinking about this, Sumo opened his eyes slightly and fully understood! How to clear this ruins mission.
If you join the restart faction, wait until the alienation agent is released, lead the territory through the crisis, and close the magic box again, which will be regarded as success.
If you join the conservative party, just lead the territory through the siege in five months and successfully preserve all the territory before the end of the mission.
Both are feasible, and both are equally difficult. It all depends on how he chooses the more suitable path.
[Record]: It was detected that the player "Suma" intervened in the disaster timeline during the execution of the task. The task will be changed to a certain extent following the intervention results
[Record]: Player "Suma", your next speech will directly affect the mission requirements of the next stage of this ruins mission. Please choose the direction of your speech carefully to anchor your mission route
[Record]: Friendly reminder, any player's behavior in the ruins may interfere with the mission and cause the mission to change. Please don't worry.
Wow!
Before Sumo could figure out how to express his thoughts, the game prompts jumped out first, once again confirming his previous judgment.
The disaster that will occur in the future is indeed closely related to the situation of the territory and the lifting of the non-attack agreement.
“It seems that Mayor Chen should be the captain who advocates the advancement of the ship.”
“Yes, not only me, but all the Chen family, fish people, and even those who are willing to follow me. "Very calmly, Chen Shen spread his hands slightly and did not hide anything: "It is no exaggeration to say that the vast majority of people in the entire territory are willing to move forward, even if the direction of the water flow is opposite to ours, it is absolutely."
"Then have you thought about the consequences?" Sumo shook his head slightly. Although he didn't finish listening, he had already guessed what he might say next.
"Consequences?" Chen Shen sneered.
"There are no consequences for anything you do. When the director wanted to go into the mountains, wouldn't there be consequences? Could it be that we advised him not to go into the mountains and he was willing to listen to us and stay in the territory and not go in? Are there no consequences? "
"Su Youzong, no one in this wasteland is a prophet, and no one knows what the consequences will be next, so it will be easy for us to follow the water. Some can avoid the current difficulties, but those high mountains and those dangers are still there waiting for us, and there will always be a day for us to cross them."
As he spoke, Chen Shen became calmer and calmer: "You can't escape, this is a circle, a circle that can only filter out the strong. If you live, you have to passively bear all the consequences."
The very conceited speech made Chen Shen's aura suddenly evaporate. got up.
At the same time, his performance also made Su Mo's heart sink.
"What if I want to stand opposite you?"
"It doesn't matter." Chen Shen picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it all in one gulp: "Su Youzong, to tell you the truth, There are many people who support me in the territory, and there are also many people who stand opposite me. If you can't convince me or stop me, then I will only continue to carry out the plan in my mind."
"As for the consequences , If you are not willing to take the responsibility, then I will take the responsibility.”
In the silent mayor’s building, Chen Shen’s voice continued to echo, causing waves of resonance.
Maybe eight years ago, he was the young man who only followed orders and didn't dare to go beyond the boundaries.
But now, with his domination and stubbornness, he can definitely be regarded as a "qualified" territory manager.
"You are indeed a very cautious person, very similar to him, but don't test me now."
"Don't worry, even if you choose the opposite side of me, I will I will not interfere in your life in the territory in the slightest."
"No, I really want to support you." Sumo hesitated for a moment, then shook his head: "But you obviously haven't thought it through now, even if you You can’t fully convince yourself to firmly support your decision”
"You are always looking for more reasons and more people to join your team to strengthen your determination, but you know"
"You are not the manager of a certain county or town. , someone told you the consequences of your decision, you are the mayor of Tianyuan Territory, you are the acting lord of the territory, your decision represents the life and death of the territory." Chen Shen was silent for a moment.
He raised his eyes and looked at Somo carefully, and was silent for a while.
“As much as I hate to admit it, you are right”
Immediately, he leaned weakly on the sofa, and all the domineering feeling he maintained in his body disappeared.
Seeing his appearance, Sumo's eyes lit up, and his slightly clenched fists finally relaxed.
“So, I am willing to make a bet with you”
“Bet?”
“Yes, I bought the manager of Baoyu County before position, so I am willing to spend five months making a bet with you”
"Did you buy it?" Chen Shen's eyes showed a trace of surprise: "Tell me, I like the word "bet" very much"
"Baoyu County has three towns and six villages, with a permanent population of Sixty thousand people, only one medium-sized canning factory to support municipal construction"
"In three months, I will increase the population tenfold to at least 600,000 people"
"What!" Chen Shen, who was still sitting paralyzed, suddenly straightened up.
But before he could continue to ask questions, sitting across from him, Somo kept talking.
"In six months, I can increase the industrial scale of Baoyu County a hundred times, and have at least one industry that is no less than the size of the four major companies." Land, defeat Wuya Mansion!”
Boom!
Chen Shen stood up directly from the sofa, with a frightening light in his eyes.
This feeling
This familiar feeling.
If it weren't for the face of the person in front of him, it was indeed not the one in his memory.
He thought that what he was facing was not the stranger who suddenly appeared in the territory, but the guiding light that he had longed for!
“What do you want to bet with me?”
“Bet on the position of manager of the territory!”
"Very good!"
A truly arrogant bet made Chen Shen's cold blood boil again.
He asked himself, he had seen too many arrogant people.
But until now, compared with the arrogant thoughts of Su Youzong in front of me, those people are far behind!
It is like there is a huge gap between heaven and earth!
"It's only one year, and our territory can definitely afford it. I'm willing to make this bet with you."
"But what if you don't complete it?"
"What if I don't complete it?" Done, I will tell you his specific whereabouts directly!” , representing how excited he was at this time.
What all adventurous factions have been looking for is the mysterious "variable".
Including Chen Shen himself, he was constantly pursuing it for countless days and nights.
Now, his sixth sense tells him that this variable may have already arrived in front of him.
He doesn’t want to miss it, and it’s impossible to miss it.
“As long as you can show the potential to make me attracted, then I will give you all support within the allowable scope.”
“Don’t worry, I know you and Feng Tianmin Already contacted, I don’t care”
"I only care about your performance. If you can lead a better life with the territory and all the people who trust us, I will give up the position of territory manager!"
Ke Deng.
After Chen Shen’s excited words fell, several obvious noises suddenly came from the quiet building.
But at this time, he continued to look at Somo without caring.
The face of the man in front of me is obviously ordinary, and there is no trace of anything strange about him.
But the feeling he gave people made Chen Shen feel an inexplicable heat and shock in his heart.
And if it can be the same as what he said.
In just three months, the population of Baoyu County will increase tenfold to 600,000.
The future of that territory
“But there is one thing I want to tell you first. I will not give you any support until you have achieved your first goal three months in advance”
"Including the starting capital to purchase the identity of these 600,000 people, you need to be responsible for it yourself."
"Starting capital?" A trace of doubt appeared on Sumo's face.
“Forget, you haven’t really been a manager yet, so you don’t know the specific source of your identity, so that’s fine.”
“You all come in, we will all be colleagues from now on, let’s get to know each other in advance. "Knowing each other"
I seem to recall that from the information collected, Su Youzong was running for his life the whole time, and he only reached the rank of Deputy Minister of the Prickly Pear Town Department.
Chen Shen coughed lightly at the door.
After a few seconds, familiar figures from the previous dinner table began to appear, with a bit of embarrassment on their faces.
"Patriarch, we didn't come here to eavesdrop on purpose"
"Okay, okay, don't explain to me." Looking at Chen Kai's red face like a monkey's butt in the front, and others dodging Looking at him, Chen Shen waved his hand indifferently.
"Su Youzong, he has never even been the manager of the village, but he still has the confidence to make such a bet with me to bet on the position of manager of Tianyuan Territory in the next year."
"Then early tomorrow morning, I will report to the lord remotely and win him the status of a lord competitor."
Facing the dozen or so obedient people in front of me, look at the confident and high-spirited Sumo next to him.
Before Chen Shen finished speaking, he felt a huge sense of fragmentation.
In recent years, the introduction of people from the Chen family to manage the entire territory has indeed brought a lot of benefits, making the management of the territory extremely stable.
But at the same time, more and more invisible hidden dangers are buried, which are difficult to deal with.
Take the recruitment of talents as an example. In the past eight years, the territory has indeed received many enterprising and world-beating talents.
But often before they can survive the observation period of one or two years, these people are exposed to various problems.
Either the ambition has disappeared, or the character has a flaw that prevents the territory from entrusting it with important responsibilities.
In fact, Chen Shen himself, everyone in the Chen family, and even the former lord Su Chan also understand that no one is perfect, but they often think of the possibility that these people will corrupt the territory founded by Sumo himself.
They will stop their losses in a pathological manner, causing the territory to be trapped in a vicious circle that is difficult to develop and can only be maintained.
Now, there is only the last period of time before the real choice comes, and there is no longer an opportunity for the territory to observe talents.
Chen Shen is also willing to risk everything and give it a try at the last moment.
So what if we lose? What could be worse than the destruction of the territory?
After giving the instructions in a few words, and seeing everyone nodding obediently, Chen Shen simply returned to the table and waved his pen.
Not long after, two agreements stamped with the official seal of Tianyuan Territory were released.
The first one was naturally a bet between the two of them, with the content of the bet clearly written on it.
The second copy is signed by the acting lord, and has the same treatment as the lord. At critical moments, you can enjoy the effect of cutting first and paying later.
"I am restricted by the bet and cannot assist him, but you don't, so I need you to help him get started as quickly as possible"
"From how to better manage the territory , to the rules set by various games, to the surrounding situations we have to face, the business channels that have been developed, and even internal resource lending, I will not interfere with these, I only look at the results! ”
“Yes!”
Thank you to Hyacinth's little fan, the young blacksmith, Bai Cha, and I say goodbye. Jiange is a reward from my bosses, thank you!
