The answer to Chapter 912 is: Scavenger? !
A famous scientist once said that if the Fourth World War breaks out in human civilization, then the weapons used by human beings will definitely be stones and sticks.
This sentence may be a little biased, but it basically expresses the trauma of war on technology.
In the cultivation system, as long as there is a tall man who can clear the way in front, the people who follow will have the energy to keep up. Even if there is a gap in the middle, as long as there is a certain amount of data records, it is enough.
Human technology, however, basically relies on various basic industries that have been built step by step.
Without these industries, there would be no corresponding workers.
Before the development of completely intelligent life to replace everything, technology will be rootless duckweed.
Even if someone has interstellar-level scientific and technological weapon information, at this time, it is just a pile of waste paper.
Now, this ruin from the Butterfly Universe is the best explanation.
The initial clumsy RPG, the subsequent unstable mines, and the defense facilities built with barbed wire in front of the building.
After only scanning for a while, Sumo basically got the strength of these "neighbors".
It is about the level of human beings on earth not long after World War II.
He is certainly much stronger than the unarmed villagers of Hope Village, but compared to him wearing power armor.
On the contrary, it seems that the other party is the player, and he is an aborigine who traveled through hundreds of years in the future.
Soon, Sumo pushed the barbed wire aside arrogantly and arrived in front of the building.
After analyzing the traces on the walls, the various debris scattered on the ground, and the basic structure on the first floor, it can be roughly concluded that this is not a residential building.
Several fragmented and inexplicable bones were piled in the corner of the first floor, half buried by the sand blown by the wind.
Feces of birds and animals were left wantonly by the windows and doors, and the freshest ones were not even completely dry.
More than a dozen posters that might once have been filled with slogans are now so faded that it’s hard to see what’s written on them.
These things that have not been weathered so far write about another earth civilization and also record the civilizational war that may have occurred.
Sumo couldn't help but think of the earth that would be hit by an asteroid after everyone left.
The distant hometown of mankind may be even more tragic than here.
"Is anyone there?"
"We don't mean any harm, maybe we can talk!"
The loudspeaker in the helmet sounded, and Soma's voice came from inside Two sentences I just learned from Lu Kuan.
Unfortunately, the sound of the horn continued to echo, but no response came from upstairs.
In desperation, Sumo could only continue walking inside.
Judging from the specific details, the first floor should be a shopping mall.
The compartments are used to sell goods, and some shelves that have not been completely smashed are hung diagonally on the wall.
With this degree of destruction, it is obvious that more than a few waves of people have visited here before.
Some valuable things were probably dismantled and taken away long ago.
However, these things that were looked down upon by people in the civilized era are now so poor in the wasteland.
"Good guy, there are so many aluminum alloys that no one is taking, it's so cool!" After picking up the shelves that fell on the ground and pinching them, Sumo couldn't help but gleam in his eyes.
If it were ordinary aluminum, we would not know what it would look like after such a long time.
But the last anti-oxidation procedure for aluminum alloys can circumvent this problem very well.
Especially since there are no aluminum mines in the territory now, if all the shelves on this floor can be dismantled and taken away, it will definitely be a big income, enough for the village to no longer have to worry about aluminum in a short time.
On the other side, some exposed steel materials that are not the main support of the building look like they can be taken away.
If you take it back and measure the purity, it can be reused.
This kind of raw material can be used as a raw material for manufacturing machine tools, which can solve the problems that countless villages will encounter in the development of basic industries.
Keep rummaging through these junk that others don’t like.
The more he looked at it, the more uncontrollable joy appeared in Sumo's eyes.
However, at this moment, there was a scattered sound of shooting from upstairs, breaking the silence of the ruins.
Listening to the sound, there was no crackle of powerful bullets.
Basically the 5mm whirring sound is mainly mixed with a few spray-like rumbles occasionally.
"Director, they are retreating upstairs, there are many people!"
Feng Long came from behind with his men and horses, holding the drone that had just been shot down in his hand.
“There were about a hundred people, both men and women, and many children!”
“Their guns looked like junk, like street-stall stuff put together from spare parts. . But the accuracy of many people was very scary. One kid used a slingshot to shoot down the drone."
"The two armored dogs were their trained pets and were following them as they retreated. ”
Going upstairs in this situation is obviously a dead end.
As an "enemy", even if Somo ordered not to attack now, he only had to guard their escape channel below.
It won’t be long before the opponent will have to try to break out due to the huge consumption of materials.
But the problem lies precisely here.
Since the other party would choose to use such a building as a camp, they must be fully prepared in all aspects.
Fleeing upward may not be the choice they made out of desperation.
Should we pursue or not?
After watching the last moment footage from the drone, I watched the panicked expressions on those people’s faces.
After only a moment of hesitation, Sumo immediately made a decision.
"Exit, surround the ruins, and give our neighbors some time to get familiar with each other first."
If it is a gathering of adults, he may lead people to attack directly Go up and eliminate hidden dangers in advance.
But these were panic survivors wearing animal skin patched clothes and holding homemade short guns.
No matter how you look at it, he doesn’t look like a pure bad guy.
"When they realize that this is not the original world, maybe we can still talk about it."
The ruins composed of five buildings will be called the "Fifth Floor Area" for now.
As Li Hu led his people, hundreds of trained militiamen quickly surrounded the building, leaving no route for them to evacuate from the ground without being discovered.
On the periphery, more than a dozen villagers who had already taken up their posts as scavengers also came following the team after hearing the news.
Seeing the huge ruins, their faces were full of excitement and their eyes were straight. When choosing the overall route of the territory, so-called "action points" need to be obtained by completing tasks.
The choice of personal route is the same.
To improve the route level and obtain more choice points, you need to complete various tasks specified by the game rules in order to obtain "progress value".
Currently, each route requires 100 progress points to upgrade from Lv1 to Lv2.
Take scavengers as an example. What they are given the most is to explore unfamiliar areas and find valuable items.
The duration of scavenging, difficulty, danger and other factors will also give progress values.
“Well, the scavengers made the right choice.”
“With so many wild building materials, if we could pull them back, I don’t know how many houses could be built.”
The island nation's number one gunman shivered and took out a crumpled cigarette from his pocket, lit it with the only match he had, and took a deep drag.
The smoke brewed in his mouth, calming down his excited heart a little.
He has been awake all night for the past two days. He has been thinking about switching to a mechanical apprenticeship to open a factory and make money from basic industries.
But after entering the route trial, he thought clearly.
What I want to do has no conflict with the scavengers. On the contrary, if I choose to become a mechanical apprentice and then explore it later, it will be difficult.
Once those crazies who are more powerful than him in the territory are involved, he may not be able to be at the forefront based on his unilateral ability.
In this case, you might as well choose to be a scavenger and give it a try!
"Go in, don't get close to the building for now, you can explore the outside."
The militiaman in charge of the communication came over and signaled that everyone can enter.
Without saying a word.
A group of people rushed in with their hands empty-handed, howling and screaming, and immersed themselves in the rubble and began to dig at it.
No complaints, not even a reward.
Even Sumo was a little surprised by such a fanatical performance.
For an ordinary job, if you only use the results to settle the remuneration, you will never be able to achieve this effect.
Now the game adds a progress bar to these tasks and gives progress values as additional rewards.
The effect it brings should not be too obvious, and almost everyone should give 120% enthusiasm.
Is it a simulation game developed by people on earth?
Or, if it finds such stimulation, it will have better results?
When he thought that farming would also display corresponding progress bars and progress values, Sumo couldn't help but cry out in his heart.
At this time, open the game panel and enter the territory group chat.
Sure enough, many people have discovered the various tasks that appear after selecting a route, as well as the accompanying progress value panel.
Before, we were still discussing the pros and cons of various routes. Soon, with the influx of more and more people, it turned into route tasks and obtaining progress values.

Free Communication Channel-
Spicy Iron Hammer: "Hiss, mechanical apprentices actually have to personally participate in the production of various items related to "machines" to obtain them. Progress point, isn’t this embarrassing? ”
Doomsday Madman: "Fortunately, the one I chose in the end is a handmade enthusiast. If others use the things I make, the progress value will also increase (呲ya)"
Pulling Moth: "Element Detection, the madman brother chose It’s a manual route, and the scope of our search for specific candidates has been narrowed again!”
Chicken Blood is surging: “The farmer route needs to complete a series of planting operations, and finally successfully harvest the crops to obtain a large amount of progress value. It seems that it will take a short time. Our route should be the slowest in progress."
Nuclear Energy Rifle: "Just be content. It would be better to be more stable. The reserve soldier route still needs to fight to get points. This is a bloody job."
You have no one in Gary: "What a pitfall, why don't the construction apprentices get progress points by building a house? Now I have to make various building materials to upgrade. When will this happen?"
< br>
Unearthed Bastard: "Wait, didn't you say you want to choose the scavenger route???"
Midnight Plane: "You believe his lies, scavengers don't even have any attribute bonus, which is much better than being smart. , how could you be willing to choose this route?"
You have no one in Gary: "Brother Airplane, please don't talk nonsense. I was tested under the supervision of my instructor, and I didn't choose this myself. Route. Besides, the territory will need a lot of construction workers in a short period of time. It won’t be too late for me to go out to scavenge after this period of time (funny).”
Misty Tractor: “Wait a minute. Have you ever noticed why no scavengers came out to speak?” Shocked).”
Wanting to eat sweets: "Hey! Don't you know, the gray fog has begun to come with things, and someone just picked up a large bag of undamaged instant noodles and brought it back."
There is no one in Gary. : "Damn??? The market judgment is wrong. If the gray fog really comes down with more and more garbage, wouldn't scavengers become the answer?"
There is no one in your Gary: "Well, Why don’t you talk?”
You have no one in Gary: “Damn it, aren’t you going to grab the trash?”
The free chat channel just became lively. , and it became quiet again in the blink of an eye.
After entering the sub-channel used by scavengers to communicate, everyone who chose other routes suddenly became jealous.
The air force will die: "A small number of building ruins were found 16 kilometers south of 78. I have completed preliminary exploration. Do you have any brothers who can come with us to open up wasteland."
Not interested in money : "Brothers, remember to bring something with you when you go out. There are mutated animals among the things that came down. If it weren't for your luck, I almost sent them away (horror)."
Holding a pickaxe: "I'm looking for a large amount of money to buy or rent a pallet truck. Some people will contact me at the village gate half an hour later."
Golden Shovel: "Does anyone know a reliable friend who has chosen to be a reserve soldier? I found a nest of... Ahem, we can cooperate and share the harvest equally according to our contribution.”
Picking up the richest man: "I sincerely advise everyone to act according to their ability. An announcement has been made at the entrance of the village. Now that the gray fog is coming, there is a serious shortage of manpower. If danger occurs, timely support may not be possible."
The number one male gunman in the island country: " You can go to the fifth-floor area 70 kilometers to the south. There are five high-rise buildings with more than 20 floors and a lot of scattered building ruins. By the way, only scavengers can come here, otherwise they cannot go inside to explore."
More and more comments appear in the channel.
Subject to the restriction that once the route selection is completed, you cannot speak in the assigned channel.
Everyone who peeked at the screen was drooling with envy, but they couldn't say a single word of envy.
"No, I have to research some new ways."
Looking at more and more people leaving the village entrance, Brother Gao couldn't help but swallow his throat.
It is true that everyone can pick up trash, but the problem is that there is no progress value at all for picking up on your own route.
If you compete with the scavengers, you may end up falling far behind the version progress.
And the most important thing is that the village no longer controls food and housing.
Those who are now running out to follow the trend will soon return to their original positions due to various practical factors.
When the first wave of scavenging passed, a large amount of materials were brought back by these people, and the market was affected.
If you have some funds at this time.
Suddenly, sporadic "rebels" began to appear in the tide of scavenging.
Their destination is very unified, and it is the old mission department that has now been renamed the "General Administration of Work".
