Time flies, time still flies like an arrow, and the sun and the moon still fly by.
Sometimes time seems to pass very slowly, but when it really passes, you will find that it is surprisingly fast.
Unconsciously, one month has passed since the first batch of survivors were rescued.
It’s April. According to the earth’s calendar, it’s about the end of the new year.
However, I don’t know if all earth players have become accustomed to the wasteland. Nowadays, there are almost no discussions related to it even on the world channel, and some sporadic ones have been brushed aside by quick discussions. , not many people care at all.
But then again, for most survivors.
Indeed.
In the continuous fatigue and busyness, in the endless labor and migration day after day, and in the hardships and obstacles one after another.
It is no longer within the capabilities of normal people to find time to remember life on earth.
As the saying goes, it is better to be a peace dog than a chaotic person.
After nearly a year and a half, another great migration involving more than two billion people has been carried out.
In all corners of the New World, gaps have officially appeared in the lives of survivors.
The northeast coast of the New World, the sea area with giant tree roots.
Although with the complete destruction of the three major gangs and tens of thousands of gang members being tried and disbanded, the living environment around the sea is no longer as bad as before.
However, due to the arrival of the migration wave, the number of people has inevitably decreased.
In the past two months, the number has dropped from 800,000 at its peak to less than 300,000.
"Brother Bao, how many people have been arrested today? Look at how busy you are!"
Sitting in the security team station that has begun to take shape, I saw Bao Leihei Walking back with a smile on his face, Zhang Long quickly stood up and greeted with a hearty laugh.
Since ancient times, any place with a high frequency of population movement has been unable to escape the consequences of chaotic public security.
Nowadays, the big and small inns on the coast of the New World are naturally not immune to this custom.
Many survivors wanted to familiarize themselves with the terrain before leaving and replenish a wave of supplies from their friendly "neighbors". Even though the security team had stepped up patrols several times, they were unable to solve the root cause of the problem.
And as the situation worsened, the amiable "neighbors" also showed their true colors.
Many people are fishing in Jiang Taigong, looking weak, waiting for these impulsive people to come and kill them.
Anyway, it’s ‘reasonable self-defense’, and there’s nothing the security team can do about it.
So once a fight breaks out, Bao Lei now handles it in a very simple way, and captures all the survivors.
"Old Zhang?"
Seeing Zhang Long, Bao Lei's expression softened a little, but he still couldn't hide his bad mood today.
Now the water prison of the security team has been expanded again and again, and an additional rectification labor camp has been added outside, which is enough to accommodate 2,000 people.
But even so, the number of vacancies in the cell continues to decrease.
If the dozens of people arrested last night are put in, I am afraid it will be close to full capacity again.
"You know, spring is coming soon, and those guys can't bear it anymore."
"That's right."
Zhang Long stood up, the two shook hands, and sighed at the same time. made a sound.
During winter, because of the weather, we didn’t dare to head rashly to the interior of the New World to look for opportunities.
But if you don’t leave as spring approaches, you won’t be able to catch up with the next spring planting.
Most of the survivors had only accumulated food supplies in the deep sea for half a year. Without the next supply of supplies, they would have returned to the same embarrassing situation they had just traveled through the wasteland a year ago.
“That’s what I came here for today. After staying in the sea with giant tree roots for so long, it’s almost time for us to set off.”
“Hey, why? Are you leaving suddenly?”
Bao Lei was slightly surprised.
Before Chen Shen arrived, there was still a layer between the security team and the tundra fleet, and they only dared to test each other.
So after Chen Shenlai secretly interviewed Lu Yongyi, the barrier between the two parties suddenly disappeared.
Especially when he confirmed that behind the security team was the Tianyuan territory he was looking for, the human Su Shen.
As the captain, Lu Yongyi can only lament that fate has played a trick on people.
Like an invisible tie, fate has always connected Tundra and Tianyuan.
“It’s not sudden. We have been preparing for a long time since we broke with those old guys.”
Zhang Long responded with a smile.
The conflicts between the major factions of the tundra fleet have already been at odds at sea.
Now that we have arrived in the New World, the situation is getting worse day by day, and people are clamoring to separate their families every day.
But Lu Yongyi did not kindly tell those guys about the connection between the security team and Tianyuan Territory.
Of course, splitting is normal.
"Do you want to set off directly to the territory?"
"I have this idea, but we have to see what the next disaster will be before we talk about it."
The two of them came laughing and laughing all the way. Went to the resident restaurant and sat down.
The sharp-eyed chef quickly took out the prepared meals from the cupboard and set half the table.
It happened to be time for lunch, so Zhang Long didn’t refuse and simply sat down to eat together.
In a sense, the two parties have become a family now, and the previous unfamiliarity is naturally no longer necessary.
"This is the first Wanjie competition. How many people in your tundra want to participate?"
Bao Lei took a few mouthfuls of rice and suddenly raised his head and asked.
Zhang Long was stunned for a moment, and then nodded honestly: "More than 90% of the time, the disaster was postponed because of the conflict. Naturally, we have to send people in to have a look, but there is a high probability that it is just After all, it is too difficult to climb the rankings without route support. "In fact, it is not much better with route support. It is not a fair competition."
< br>
Bao Lei burped and showed a slightly envious look:
“Speaking of which, those rewards are really coveted. If ordinary people can get them, they will definitely become a blockbuster.”
“ It’s more than just a blockbuster, it’s the one that attracts everyone’s attention.”
“Even if the major territories lose their heads on the top epic route, they will definitely not give up on the person who finally gets the reward.”
The two of them. They sighed to each other, and it would be a lie to say that they had not imagined that they could get the final reward.
Since fourteen days ago, the game announced the first round of ‘Ten Thousand Paths Struggle’, delaying the arrival of the next round of disaster.
Similar discussions have never stopped throughout the New World.
As the highlight of version 4.0, no one thought that this battle would come so fast, so that about 70% of the survivors have not yet joined the territory and have route blessings.
However, those with route support do not have much advantage, as Bao Lei lamented.
A fight over ten thousand paths is not a fair duel.
As the first round of trial battles, participants will compete in a '1v1' format from the moment they enter to the elimination of the main match. Only after 99% of the participants have been eliminated will they enter the '1vN' competition format.
During this period, the two people fighting may be a 'chef apprentice' and the other a 'construction apprentice'.
The competition may not be about who can cook or build a house, but a randomly selected topic. It may be to make a handicraft that meets the requirements within a limited time.
It may also be that you are surrounded by enemies, fighting all the way and finally breaking out of the siege.
Since this is a trial experience, death in the first Ten Thousand Paths Battle is not a real death. The game will directly remove survivors when it is determined that their lives are in danger, or directly trigger leaving when survivors themselves apply.
Of course, you may suffer some injuries in the process, but compared with the rewards you may get.
Injury is already the smallest price to pay for a small gain.
In this battle, as long as you can win the next round, you will directly receive the participation award.
Upgrade the first-level route level.
Survivors who don’t have a route don’t have to worry, the game will automatically save the opportunity and trigger it after getting the route.
Starting from the second round, victory points will be accumulated for each victory.
Points can be used to purchase various items in Wanjing Mall.
It may be gain effects that can be applied in battles, or survival materials that can be brought out to the real wasteland.
There are many kinds, no fewer than thousands of them.
The most outrageous reward is even the "finished territory". After using it, you can directly obtain a building complex that can be placed on the spot, which contains a series of buildings for living, production, and training.
The level of brutality is simply more of a game than a game.
At the same time, if you can enter the top 1,000 in the rankings, you will also receive corresponding ranking rewards.
Either route experience or route ability.
Starting from the top ten, you will also get extremely rare special routes.
The higher the ranking, the higher the rarity of the route, which can reach the epic level.
“Hey, let’s not think too much about this epic route. If you can squeeze into the top ten among billions of people.”
“You have to be proficient in everything and omnipotent in everything. Okay."
Zhang Long smacked his lips and quietly wrote the word 'Su' on the table with his fingers.
In his opinion, the biggest reward has been reserved by Sumo in advance, and others are just competing for the rest.
"Ahem, don't open the champagne in advance. Foreign races are also participating in this fight."
Bao Lei is calm and not blindly optimistic.
Being able to use modern weapons and using bare hands are two different things.
Entering the Ten Thousand Paths Battle Arena, humans are not allowed to carry anything except props purchased in the mall and props provided during the competition.
If you encounter a strong foreign race, it will be difficult to win in a link that requires physical fitness.
At the same time, if they can break into the later stages of the elimination round, the alien races are likely to stick together.
At that time, human beings' disadvantages will undoubtedly be more obvious.
“Forget it, let’s take it one step at a time. The knockout round will start in three days.”
“It’s good to delay the next disaster. At least there is enough left. The time is given to humans for spring sowing.”
“That’s right.” Bao Lei stopped his chopsticks.
"The human resources around the station are too abundant. We plan to open some plantations near the giant tree root sea area, and how about building a few new factories. Are Tundra interested in participating?"
"Plantations?"< br>
Tianyuan territory, Tianyuan underground city.
Listening to Yuansheng Qiao’s report on the recent development plans of the Giant Tree Root Sea Area, Sumo nodded slightly and thought to himself.
It is definitely unrealistic to expect to transport food directly from the territory to the giant tree root sea across thousands of kilometers.
If you want to achieve self-sufficient development, you must follow the practices of the territories around the sea, starting with farming.
It is easy to just keep planting, but it is difficult to harvest completely during the autumn harvest.
The surrounding environment of the giant tree root sea area is complex, which is definitely a challenging task.
"Let them do it boldly. They can't just fish close to the sea to make a living."
"Understood." Mr. Qiao raised his hand and ticked the back of the plan, and then scrolled down. Page continues to report.
"Affected by the first Ten Thousand Paths Battle, although the disaster has been postponed until the end of the battle, most of the survivors have now stopped migrating and started preparing for the next elimination match."
< br>"According to the data collected and integrated by the Ministry of Information, this battle is expected to affect our survivor search and rescue progress in the next two months."
"Two months?" Sumo wrinkled He frowned: "How many people have we gathered now?"
"The latest number is 24,655 people. Counting our original people, there are now a total of 38,553 people in the territory."
A sound Some exaggerated figures are more than the previous old residents combined.
However, now that the Great Migration is at its climax, it still seems a little thin.
After all, according to previous conservative estimates, the number of people in the territory should reach about 60,000 before the end of winter this time.
Under optimistic estimates, the number of people should reach 70,000, or even 80,000. It would not be surprising.
But unfortunately, affected by this first ‘War of Ten Thousand Paths’, the migrants stopped.
It is foreseeable that by the beginning of spring, the maximum number of people will increase to 50,000, which is already the limit.
"More than 30,000 people, less than 40,000"
Suma nodded slightly, but he didn't feel much disappointment in his heart.
The addition of new people is a double-edged sword. Too much influx in a short period of time can easily cause confusion.
The current speed is actually just right. Each wave of new people brought back by the search and rescue team can go through a complete training process.
If there were more people, this process would inevitably be shortened, or the care would be insufficient.
"In the period before the end of the Ten Thousand Paths War, we have just enough time to integrate the more than 20,000 new people into the old group. When new people arrive, we will be able to deal with them even if the number is larger."
"Well, Lord, you don't need to worry. There are only more than 20,000 people, so we can't make a splash at all."
As expected, it is easy to leave professional things to professionals.
Having not studied in the future ruins for a long time, when managing thousands of people, Sumo still often felt mentally and physically haggard, with a feeling that it was difficult to think about the head and the tail.
But now, although the number of people has increased several times compared to that time, there is almost no pressure at all.
People's livelihood is supervised by Mr. Qiao, and various orderly policies have been introduced one after another to push the territory forward.
In terms of industry, Marshal Wang is advancing, and he can promptly observe the difficulties of major factories and allocate resources. The development speed can be said to be very fast.
Li Hu is fully responsible for public security. The guard team has been expanded to thousands and is now fully armed. The internal environment of the territory is several times better than on earth.
The military is led by Feng Tianmin. Recently, many retired veterans and some new recruits who want to join the army have been recruited. They can often be seen training in the territory.
In addition, there are Shen Ke who manages supplies, Chen Kai who handles the business environment, Pei Shao who is in charge of intelligence, and Qi Qin who promotes cooperation with aborigines
The entire Tianyuan Territory is full of talents, at least until it reaches the level of the Tianyuan Territory in the future ruins.
Sumo is not worried at all about the difficulties he may encounter in his development and needs to be solved by himself.
If we have to say there is, it can only be the next
Ten thousand paths fighting!
