As usual, after every disaster, the game releases some minor balance updates.
Similar to the version changes of online games, some unreasonable areas are adjusted in a targeted manner.
Today, many things have been adjusted, and many places are different from when Somo first established his territory.
For example, in the one-year territory, in order to make the territory system implement more smoothly, the game will restrict the territory residents from leaving the territory at will. Once it exceeds twenty-four hours, their physical fitness will continue to decline until Dropped halfway.
As most humans move from the deep sea to the New World, more and more territories are established and routes are launched, but it has long been silently abolished in an update.
For another example, the establishment of a territory requires at least a thousand people, and the main refuge level needs to reach level three.
This requirement also disappeared from the restrictions with the update after the last plate split.
It is now very simple to set up a territory.
First, the core of the shelter.
Second, pay five hundred disaster points.
Third, no more.
There are only two simple requirements, which can be met by basically every survivor who wants to establish a territory.
However, correspondingly, the demands on the surface are shrinking, while the demands secretly are increasing.
It is very simple to set up a territory now, but the prices of various functions that come with the territory have doubled.
Even the routes that were free of charge before are now available in order to prevent survivors from repeatedly rebuilding their territories and trying to open them. To open them, you need to have 1,000 people in the territory and pay 5,000 points to open them.
Therefore, when Lao Zhang set up a sampan to recruit survivors, everyone's first reaction was naturally doubt.
"No, buddy, have you made a mistake? You are already here and want to build your own territory?"
"It's outrageous, family, this guy dares to disturb Tai Sui. I'm so impatient."
"The market is open. Does anyone want to bet on when his territory will be ruined?"
"I suggest you bet on it? When can he build it more realistically?”
"Hahaha, it's such a shame. Look at this brother's face."
"."
The sarcastic voices were endless, and everyone looked like they had seen a ghost.
But what surprised Lao Zhang was that there were people in the crowd who supported him.
"There are crazy people all the time. I really admire this brother's courage. If your territory can really be built, I will be idle when I am idle. It is not impossible to help me. Of course, the premise is that you give me Food and accommodation included.”
"Well said, instead of waiting in line here, it is better to make preparations in advance. Those of you who are laughing are not as good as others?"
"Sir, do you need workers? My route is construction apprenticeship , I can work for you!”
“Brother, can you tell me the location of your territory and I’ll take note of it. There are only a few days left. If I can’t be scheduled in two days, maybe I can’t be there. I'm going to join you."
"."
The ratio of mockers to supporters is about eighty-two. This high ratio makes Lao Zhang secretly happy.
And the most important thing is that out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of many supervisors who looked very similar to that day. These people were actually listening around and had no intention of interrupting.
This move undoubtedly boosted Lao Zhang’s confidence, and incidentally also verified the Golden Eagle’s attitude towards someone building a new territory in the surrounding area.
As long as these people have no objections, then all his subsequent actions will not be restricted.
As expected, the subsequent recruitment went extremely smoothly.
The plainclothes guards responsible for maintaining order were even helping, driving away some people who deliberately caused trouble.
It only took less than half an hour for Lao Zhang to pick out fifty survivors who seemed to be hard-working and diligent, and they all crowded onto the large sampan and went down the river.
The treatment is very simple, with only one item including food and accommodation.
Also, Lao Zhang did not explain clearly what to eat and where to live, but for the current survivors, no one cares about this.
Even if what is served is an unknown ‘tenacious creature’, everyone can crunch it one bite at a time without changing their expressions.
Leaving the large army, Lao Zhang turned his head habitually and met the eyes of the plainclothes guard again.
This time he found that the coldness in those people's eyes had disappeared, and was replaced by an inexplicable look.
It's like envy, but also like sighing.
"Boss, this group of people is really lucky. I even wonder if he has an informant within us!"
"Nonsense, the order to the summit was only handed down this morning. How can he react so quickly?”
“This group of people is so lucky to allow survivors to build their own territory in the surrounding area and provide basic help. To be honest, I almost want to go out and build a territory”< br>
"You, with your little possessions, can you live in poverty if you hire these fifty people to work for a day?"
"Haha, captain, I just said this, why do you still take it seriously?"< br>
"Stop talking nonsense and continue to be vigilant. If this guy discovers us here and plans to take people away to cause trouble, we will be in trouble."
In the sky, there are layers of layers. The dark clouds moved quietly, and it was about to rain.
In this slightly depressing environment, the water community inevitably becomes restless, like a lake gently stirred by the breeze, with ripples everywhere.
The shouts and curses among the survivors could be heard everywhere, and some of them were even cursing the Golden Eagle territory.
A group of plainclothes guards felt heavy in their hearts, as if there was an invisible pressure hanging over them, and they quickly looked away from Lao Zhang.
Stone Village.
It was discovered that a group of foreign survivors were following the road that Lao Zhang Shun had explored last night. The face of the informant arranged by the Niu brothers changed and he hurried back to inform everyone of the discovery.
The Niu brothers stood in the yard with uncertain expressions. It took a while before they sighed.
"It seems that these people are serious about it. I didn't expect that no one would have the guts to build a territory even after we waited here for so long. It's unusual for these people to make up their minds after only one night of inspection."
“Maybe he’s a stupid young man?”
A man replied subconsciously, but after finishing speaking, he found himself being stared at coldly by others.
If Lao Zhang came to the village looking for someone in the morning, it might really be a stupid young man.
But in just a few hours, he was able to bring a group of survivors up the mountain from other places. If this method and courage can be regarded as stupid, I am afraid there will be few normal people in the wasteland. .
"What about those guys in the village, what do they think?"
"They are all waiting for us, one by one."
"Okay, at least wait until today, I would like to Look at what medicine they sell in the gourd. ”
God is not good.
Lao Zhang and his men had just gone up the mountain to explore the territory and set up a position. The gloomy sky seemed to have been pierced, and heavy rain fell.
There was no raincoat and the road on the stone mountain was slippery, so everyone had to hide in a cave to take shelter from the rain.
But soon, someone noticed something unusual about the raindrops and couldn't help shouting.
“Come and look, the rain falling from the sky is black, like ink!”
“What, black rain, how is that possible?” “Damn, it’s really special. Those are black raindrops, what’s going on?”
"Hide inside, the rain is weird, don't get caught in it."
The first disaster that the players encountered when they first traveled to the wasteland taught everyone a lesson.
Don’t touch anything you don’t understand.
Especially for rainwater, you can tell it is abnormal just by looking at the color. Wouldn’t it be courting death to touch it with your skin?
Lao Zhang quickly directed the people to go into the cave, and at the same time arranged for people to use cut weeds to raise the entrance of the cave to prevent rainwater from flowing back in.
But something strange is that when the black raindrops fall on the ground, whether they are mud or stones, they seem to be absorbed and disappear quickly.
What is going on?
"It's raining, it's raining, uncle, it's raining outside!"
After a busy night, Sumo was still catching up on his sleep, and Luo Xiang rushed out from outside with a howl. Come in.
Luo You subconsciously wanted to curse, but when his gaze passed through the door that was suddenly pushed open, it froze in an instant, and the anger on his face was replaced by shock.
The sky was still blue in the morning, but now it seemed as if it was suddenly torn apart by an invisible force, opening a ferocious black wound.
The clouds are gathering, like the huge mouth of a giant beast, trying to swallow everything.
From this huge mouth, black raindrops all over the sky were like devil's teardrops, falling densely and silently, intertwining into a huge black curtain in the sky, covering the entire world.
These raindrops are unusual. They are as black as ink, so deep that they seem to swallow up all light, with an indescribable weirdness and heaviness.
It seems like some kind of deep wail from nature, and also like the manifestation of some kind of evil power.
Every drop of black rain seemed to carry some unknown curse. It hit the ground hard and made a dull sound. The air seemed to become heavy, making it difficult to breathe.
Luo You's pupils shrank suddenly, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes. He had never seen such a strange sight, and an indescribable fear surged in his heart.
"Lord Ji Ji, something happened, something happened outside!"
Luo You's voice was obviously panicked and urgent. He couldn't care about anything else and quickly reached out to pat him. Soma's shoulders, trying to wake him up from his deep sleep.
The current scene is completely beyond his understanding, and the only one he can rely on is the mysterious man next to him.
However, he had forgotten that with Sumo's usual alertness, he would wake up as soon as Luo Xiang came in, so how could he still sleep soundly now?
Soon, what he discovered next made Luo You feel cold all over his body, as if his blood was frozen.
Suma's body was as heavy as a mountain, as if tightly bound by some invisible force, and had no response to his shaking and shouting.
Luo You was shocked and put more strength on his hands, but Somo remained motionless, as if he had been frozen in the cold storage for many days, exuding a biting chill.
“What’s going on?”
Luo You was shocked and quickly reached out tremblingly to touch the pulse of Somo's neck.
Fortunately, although it is very weak, at least it is still beating firmly.
Making a decision, Luo You looked at his son and daughter, ignoring the threat of the black rain outside.
"Luo Jiao, hurry up and get all the cardboard boxes and light the fire."
"Luo Xiang, come here and help your cousin. He seems to be sick. We have to hurry up. Warm him up!”
As time went by, the cold feeling not only did not lessen, it actually got worse.
Luo Xiang knew something was wrong when he touched it, and he and Luo You quickly moved Somo from the folding bed to the side.
It is hard to imagine that a living person can become as stiff as a popsicle in broad daylight.
If it were based on a normal person's constitution, this temperature would have been so cold that there would be no possibility of survival.
Waiting until the fire light rose, Somo's stiff body relaxed slightly, and his continuously falling body temperature was restrained and began to rise slightly.
But when Luo You subconsciously touched it and put his warm hand on Somo's forehead, he felt that what he was touching was not a human body, but a stone covered with ice and snow.
"What's going on? Why is the temperature of the head still dropping?" At this point, Luo You's voice began to tremble, almost crying.
This was the first time in his past life that he saw a living person turn into a popsicle in front of him.
If he hadn't firmly believed that anything could be possible in this strange world, there could be no ghosts, otherwise he would definitely suspect that the house they live in is unclean.
Wait
Continuing to touch Somo's forehead to the side, Luo You suddenly found that his skin seemed to be covered with a thin film.
Originally, the film is very close to the skin, but under the influence of continuous low temperature, the film also becomes hard and the edges are somewhat bulging.
So it’s really a disguise?
Although Luo You had determined early on that Sumo's ordinary middle-aged face was a disguise, but now that his suspicion had been verified, he was not at all excited.
"You two go to the door first and come in when I tell you to come in."
After thinking about it, Luo You decided to take off the mask, at least to rule out whether the mask was the cause of the cooling.
But he was cautious and instructed the two children to go out first.
According to Sumo's normal character, if he later took off his mask, he would see a scarred and sulfuric face underneath. He would definitely not want to directly expose it to the two children and ruin his cousin's glorious image.
"Oh, how long has it been? Whether a person can survive or not is still a question. What am I still thinking about?"
Luo You smiled at himself, squatted down, and then After closing the door, he raised his right hand and gently peeled off the peeling corner of his forehead.
His movements were very slow, as if he were stroking a beloved object, for fear of any damage.
Boom.
A muffled thunder sounded, and flashing electric lights lit up in the clouds, illuminating the slightly dark room.
Poof.
I heard a sudden crashing sound from inside the house. Luo Xiang and Luo Jiao outside the door subconsciously wanted to rush in. However, they remembered Luo You's instructions at the last moment and forced themselves to do so. Hold it in.
About ten seconds later, Luo You's violent shouting rang out in the room.
"Quick, come in!"
The door opened and Luo Xiang rushed in, only to see Luo You's face was extremely pale, as if he had seen something incredible.
His lips were still trembling, and his hands were shaking uncontrollably, but his movements did not change at all. He quickly tore off his upper body clothes and pressed Somo's forehead tightly to his chest. on, trying to use body temperature to bring the temperature back up.
This is a very shameful gesture, but now it makes people feel uncomfortable.
"No, the temperature is not enough, far from it. Go find the Niu brothers and buy firewood with them!"
"But it's still raining outside"
The black rain is still falling, and it seems like Full of malice.
However, what surprised the two children was that Luo You was terrifyingly determined at this time.
“No more but.”
"If I don't save your cousin, everyone will die. Go quickly!"
"Go!!!"
