Perhaps it is to reduce the probability of vicious loopholes appearing when deducing the world as much as possible.
Although the gambling space created the wasteland nine years later, it did not retain the territory construction of the players in the wasteland, nor did it retain the changes made by some players.
In other words, the New World of Wasteland is just a background board, a world view for gambling battles.
Including the survivors that can be encountered in the gambling space now, they are all NPCs specially arranged by the scene designer.
Such an ingenious design not only ensures that Soma has established an unshakable prestige among humans on earth, but in this gambling space, he must shed the halo of the past and start from scratch.
In addition, this design also adds many difficulties and challenges to the entire gambling space.
Contestants must learn about the current world culture as soon as possible and integrate into the NPC life atmosphere before they can start trying to contact these people and promote their beliefs.
However, how could the survivors who had been crawling around in the wasteland for twelve years easily contact him.
Considering the current background of nuclear winter, Sumo has reason to suspect that it would be difficult for many people to even find a gathering place away from radiation to join in.
“It will be easier if Qinggang City is still there. Most of the shelters here are nuclear-proof”
In Sumo's imagination, even if a brutal nuclear war occurs in the scene created by the game, based on the specifications of Qinggang City, there should at least be a lot of supplies that have not been taken away.
As long as these supplies can be gathered together, it shouldn't be difficult to get through the early difficulties.
However, the ideal is very full and the reality is very skinny.
The game obviously did not intend to give him this opportunity to take advantage of the loophole. As soon as Sumo thought of this, he immediately received the first guidance task released by the game.
[Record]: The first gambling battle 'Battle of Faith' has officially begun. Since the player 'Suma' has chosen the special 'god' route to start, you will receive a certain degree of route opening guidance.
[Record]: Please go to the flashing light point location to receive the opening buff belonging to the special route:
You will receive at this light point location:
1. The development level of a piece is not higher than 5 The shelter base
2. There are fifty ordinary believers, five devout believers, and one fanatic believer
The prompt ends, and an inexplicable bright spot appears in the field of vision.
Located on the left front.
If we keep going in this direction, we are going in the opposite direction from the center of Qinggang City, and we will only get further and further away from the entire city.
"It's really troublesome, I know it's not that easy to get this buff!"
Sumo thought to himself.
If his physical fitness is still there, he will definitely choose to turn the city upside down in the past few days and find all the materials that can be used as much as possible.
But now, after only staying in the cold wind for a few minutes, Sumo immediately felt that his whole body was cold and his limbs were stiff.
Especially when the cold wind blows and the heat in the body is lost rapidly, the feeling of hunger also comes.
"Sure enough, not only the physical qualities from the outside cannot be brought in, but also some special abilities are banned."
This is undoubtedly terrible news.
The food in the nuclear winter will definitely not be as plentiful as after the autumn harvest in the wasteland, and it will definitely be ridiculously difficult for ordinary contestants to obtain it.
Is it possible that in just a few months, the two million people will be eliminated to only one percent?
See that the number of participants at the top of the game panel has plummeted to 1.7 million in just one day.
Sumo shrank his neck and quickly took long strides towards the light spot.
Fortunately, the Soul Plate still contains a certain amount of survival supplies, all of which are high-calorie foods.
Furthermore, due to the serious decline in physical fitness, physical needs have also dropped to the level of ordinary people.
This allows supplies that were originally only available for two weeks to surge to three or four months.
At the same time, relying on the rights and interests attached to the divine route, the shelter base that is taken over should also have certain supplies.
Cooperating with manpower to search for supplies in Qinggang City, Sumo was very confident that he could solve the most basic survival problems within a month and restore supply and demand stability.
“Hey, this is quite a distance?”
Relying on his feet from noon to the darkening sky, Sumo raised his head and looked back. There was only one person left in Qinggang City. Rough silhouette outline.
The lonely ruins of the city become increasingly desolate in the snow, exuding the atmosphere of civilization and corruption.
However, the light spots in the field of vision still have no end, but the size and brightness have increased by about three times compared to the original time.
Based on his foot strength, Somo could probably determine the location of this shelter.
The straight-line distance from Qinggang City should be about two hundred kilometers.
It would take at least three to four days for ordinary people to arrive if they were traveling at full speed.
Athletes with good physical fitness can shorten the time to two days, but considering the harsh weather factors of nuclear winter, arrival will still take about three days.
Unfortunately, Soma's physical fitness just after traveling to the wasteland was even weaker than that of ordinary adults.
Follow the light spot all the way.
It’s the afternoon of the fourth day.
A small tribe built in a sunken terrain gradually came into view.
"Can this be called a shelter?"
Sumo sat down on a high place, the soles of his feet were covered in blood blisters and it hurt.
If I could see the shelter given in my rights, I could barely soothe this pain.
But the scene in front of him made Sumo regretted wasting his time on the way.
The sunken terrain where the tribe is located is like a pit suddenly sinking into the flat ground, which is extremely abrupt.
The internal area of the pothole is also very small, and the flat land is only about the size of ten football fields.
Only the tall tower in the middle barely looks decent, much like the heating tower in the Ice and Steam Age.
However, compared with the heating tower in the game, this tower is obviously the ultimate weakened version.
Based on Sumo's initial observation, it was probably just an incinerator built with simple insulation materials, throwing things in to burn, boiling water, and then supplying heat to the nearby houses through pipes.
Speaking of houses, Sumo was completely unable to complain. Can these shacks that are constantly swaying in the breeze really be habitable?
A few simple pieces of wood were nailed to the ground, and then sewn on with unknown animal fur. This is the so-called house.
If there is a snowstorm, it would not be surprising to be buried alive in it.
Of course, there is something to be said about this refuge.
Just like now.
The survivors in the pit were quite vigilant and immediately spotted Somo sitting on the top.
"The patriarch is back!"
"Hurry up, the patriarch is lying at the door!"
"What are you doing, get up quickly, the patriarch is back with food!"
< br>A few sharp-eyed young men shouted in the camp, and then dozens of people ran out.
Sumo quickly counted and found that the number of people and the gain were exactly the same, a total of fifty-six people.
There were exactly forty young men among them. Although they were all extremely lean, they could barely see.
There are fifteen women, standing in the back with disheveled hair.
As for the other person, he is a somewhat special rickety old man, who seems to have a high prestige.
The crowd moved forward in a crowded manner, and soon formed a circle around Somo.
Strangely, Sumo saw full of expectation and trust in the eyes of many people.
It gave him a feeling that even if he ordered these people to die now, these people would not refuse.
"Chief, it has been more than ten days, and you are finally back!"
The young man who was the first to shout in the camp came up and supported Somo with an eager face. .
At the same time, the game panel lit up in front of Sumo's eyes.
[Villager: Huang Xiangyu]
[Faith level: devout believer] [Combat power: 0.67 (combat power of a strong adult is 1)]
Fortunately, the game did not force a lot of strangers on him, or give him Simple information that can identify the identity was produced, as well as a piece of data used to illustrate combat power.
But
0.67?
Is this too low?
Is this the physical fitness data that a human being who has been crawling around in the wasteland for twelve years should have?
But soon, Sumo's question was answered.
Just after he read Huang Xiangyu's attribute panel, his attributes also popped up on his head.
[Name: Sumo]
[Faith level: God’s body]
[Combat power: 0.32]
Oops.
So I am not half as good as this Huang Xiangyu?
Aware of this problem, Sumo can probably confirm that the current combat effectiveness standard should be based on twelve years in the wasteland.
That is to say, the combat effectiveness of a robust adult in the current environment is 1, rather than taking ordinary humans on earth as the counting unit.
Looking at it this way, Huang Xiangyu seems to be pretty good.
If you can make up for your body's deficit, reaching 1.3 or even 1.5 is not a problem.
"This trip is not easy, but I'm back!"
Su Mo pretended to hear the words, glanced at Huang Xiangyu, and then looked at everyone around him in turn.
He was so precocious that he couldn't lose anymore. As expected, everyone who was stared at showed excited expressions.
Only the rickety old man had an elusive light flashing in his eyes.
He took a step forward, cleared his throat and said:
"Chief Su, I wonder if you have found any trace of the oracle?"
Oracle?
Sumo's eyes narrowed and he glanced at the old man's panel attributes with his peripheral vision.
[Villager: Thomas]
[Faith Level: Fanatic Believers]
[Combat Power: 1.27]
His.
This old man who seems to have reached the end of his life is actually about twice as powerful as Huang Xiangyu?
As expected of being the only fanatical believer, this fighting power alone cannot be underestimated.
However, from Thomas, Somo did not feel the trust from others, but instead felt contempt with a slight murderous intention.
Could it be that the person who designed this gambling fight dug a big hole for me here?
Just when Sumo was a little unsure about what to answer, he suddenly reacted and stood up confidently:
"Nonsense, of course I found the oracle left by God, and the oracle also guided me to find supplies!"
Faith stream, what are you playing?
Isn’t it just a matter of comparing who can cheat better?
Since it is a battle of faith, as long as you maintain your own sense of mystery, you can keep the game going.
Sure enough, the young people around them roared excitedly, and the women behind them also started dancing with disheveled hair.
Only Thomas was stunned for a moment and raised his head in astonishment, with a trace of bewilderment flashing in his eyes.
Is this still the useless leader of the Fire Fist tribe?
Is it possible that he really went out and received the oracle from God, and that was why such an obvious change occurred?
But soon, Thomas reacted and looked around Somo coldly.
I have to say that he was really frightened by this guy just now.
"Chief Su, what about the supplies you found? Could it be that you didn't bring them back? Could it be that they are far away?"
He extremely suspected that Sumo had made up a false location. Anyway, everyone went there If not, I don’t know if there are really supplies.
When the people around him heard what Thomas said, they calmed down instantly and all stepped back half a step to get out of the way.
Soon, only five devout believers were left in the central circle surrounding Soma and Thomas.
The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere seemed tense.
"Clan leader, if the sacrificial supplies are nearby, I can go and get them back!"
Huang Xiangyu stammered.
The other four people also talked about it. At first glance, they seemed to be on Somo's side, but in fact they were trying to force him to have a wife.
Because of the father of the good-for-nothing clan leader, a large amount of supplies of the Fire Fist Tribe were plundered by the Benlei Tribe next door.
The reason why everyone is willing to elect Soma to the top now is because he promised to get the oracle back.
If the oracle cannot be found.
Thinking about the inhuman torture, even the most courageous person would rather die outside than dare to come back.
That’s why everyone was so happy when they just found out that Somo was back.
"Haha, it seems that Priest Thomas doesn't believe me anymore?"
Suma glanced at the old man.
This god's route is really not a wheelchair route, but a more abnormal and difficult start than the ordinary route.
Although the reward was generous, a shelter base and more than fifty laborers were directly obtained.
But compared to the difficulty of the task, most people probably have only surrender when they get here.
Thomas said nothing, but the murderous intent gathering in his body became stronger and stronger.
If Su Mo wants to tease this old man again, it would be best to try where his fighting power comes from.
But then I thought about it, Thomas was the only fanatical believer after all, and he was also a priest in the tribe.
Forget it.
It’s better to capture him first.
"Okay, in that case, let me open your eyes."
Suma snorted coldly and began to chant in a language that was difficult to understand.
A group of people didn't know why, but suddenly, there was a burst of cheers from the crowd.
“Sugar, a piece of candy fell from the sky!”
“The white rabbit, it turned out to be a white rabbit, my God, God finally favored us!”
“It’s so delicious, it’s so delicious, it’s so delicious!”
What?
Thomas raised his head suddenly and looked at the place where the cheers were coming from.
I saw candies appearing out of nowhere in the sky and falling down like raindrops.
Some fell on the heads of the villagers, and some fell on the raised hands.
The number seems to be quite large. In just half a minute, each person grabbed four candies.
Including Thomas himself, a White Rabbit toffee hit him squarely on the forehead and fell to the ground.
He slowly knelt down and looked at the toffee wrapped in plastic paper on the ground and lost his mind for a moment.
Twelve years of struggling to survive, the memory of this candy has long been erased and is almost impossible to find.
But now, these sealed memories are coming back like a tide.
Earth, China, Humanity
Thomas tremblingly picked up the toffee, gently peeled off the plastic paper outside, and put the candy into his mouth.
Well, it sure tastes familiar.
As soon as the refreshing sweetness and milky flavor are brewed, people will feel an ecstasy of happiness.
Even when he looked at Somo at this time, there was a gentleness in his eyes that he had never seen before.
