The disaster is about to end, and the war is reigniting again.
Although the Giant Tree Root Station has initially entered a state of chaos, the tens of thousands of forces above have begun a secret confrontation.
But looking at the entire New World, this chaos can only be regarded as a trivial side dish, and it is still in the period of internal petty quarrels.
Its degree of deterioration is simply not comparable to that of a large-scale inn with a population of three to five million.
Located on the southern coast of the New World.
Zhenlong Inn.
In this sea area whose terrain resembles a Chinese dragon, nearly six million people have gathered with great momentum.
Looking at the coast, there are more than 100,000 large and small ships, not to mention the millions of colorful tents.
And the purpose of these people gathering here is also very simple.
"As soon as the morning after tomorrow comes, we will rush to make weapons and try to set off in the early morning!"
"We must catch these Blue Star people off guard before they can react!"
Inside a gorgeous tent in the center.
As the leader of the alliance, 'Yuan Ning' reiterated the plan again, pointing to the map hanging in the middle of the tent.
Starting from the red dot, it only takes about three hundred kilometers to the west to reach a blue star city called "Nata".
The purpose of the war is naturally to capture all the indigenous people in this city and replace them.
First, it can save humans the time to rebuild cities in the New World and use more resources to fight natural disasters and wars.
Secondly, it can get rid of a serious enemy and prevent the Blue Star people from recovering their industrial strength, thus threatening humanity on earth.
Thirdly, war is originally a large-scale filtering machine, and those who survive will naturally pass the screening. Those who survive can safely form a group, eliminating unnecessary trouble.
As for how many people will die in this process, and whether the whole army will be annihilated.
Everyone in the tent felt that this risk was acceptable.
"Have the men we sent out not found any news about Su Shen's territory?"
Suddenly someone raised his head and asked: "If we can find Su Shen to join this war, the winning rate may be directly raised from 30% to 80%!"
Just one person can increase the winning rate by half, which is enough to show Soma's status in the hearts of ordinary people.
However, the person who was asked just shook his head helplessly, with a look of embarrassment on his face:
"No, I don't know if Su Shen hid on purpose. I can't find any detailed information."
"We can only search and find that his territory briefly appeared on the rankings, called Tianyuan Territory. After that, as the game updated the rankings, it disappeared."
"Tianyuan Territory."
The atmosphere in the venue was dull, and the dozen or so leaders of large forces, each with hundreds of thousands of subordinates, fell silent.
Unlike ordinary people, they think about problems from a more macro perspective.
You can also guess the consequences if someone knows the location of Tianyuan territory.
Since Su Shen was determined not to let anyone find him, there was nothing he could do.
This battle can only be started by humans on Earth themselves!
At the same time, the west and east of the New World.
There are also many forces that have the idea of a city or gathering place for Blue Star people.
Whenever there are millions of people in the sea area or inn, there are basically forces planning to start a war.
Reflected in the world chat channel, some people have begun to openly discuss which Blue Star city is better to invade.
There are even sporadic people starting to discuss the words ‘Tianyuan Territory’.
After collecting this information, the territory's intelligence department naturally fed it back to the manager's office immediately.
"It's better to block it than to open it up. Let them investigate. Blocking or misleading us will expose us."
Sumo sighed softly and couldn't help but feel lucky that he had made preparations for a rainy day.
As the living environment of the wasteland further deteriorates and the game forces them to travel to the New World, it is certainly true that players on Earth are eager to unite.
But people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong. If good-heartedness reaches a certain level, it will become a disaster.
If these two billion survivors swarm towards the Tianyuan territory, it's hard to imagine what the scene would be like.
One person has half a kilogram of supplies per day, and two billion people need 500,000 tons per day, which is enough to fill a warehouse of 100,000 square meters with a height of seven meters.
If one person drinks two liters of water a day, two billion people will need four million tons of fresh water, enough to drink up a small lake.
One person produces about 200g of feces a day, that's two billion people.
Ahem, any insignificant number looks extremely scary in multiples of two billion.
It's time to consider the consequences of being discovered.
At present, it is certain that after the area of the New World expands, it will take at least half a year to a year for the humans on the coast to reach the Tianyuan territory.
Of course, it is not ruled out that some people with fast feet may be able to cross over in just half a year.
Once discovered by these people, the territory has not yet developed enough strength, and the consequences may be disastrous.
This is also one of the reasons why the Tianyuan territory in the future ruins has never dared to expose and recruit people wantonly, and it is also the reason why all forces must unite to implement the identity system.
To a certain extent, the burdens brought by population are more worrisome than the benefits.
"There's another application from Bao Lei, asking us to support him as soon as possible." Li Hu, the Minister of Security, came again.
Bao Lei was still nominally his, and all support naturally came to him through the Intelligence Department.
"Reply him, and the support person will arrive the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow at the latest."
"ah??!"
"Don't worry, I've already made arrangements."
"clear!"
Li Hu didn't ask any more questions and left happily, planning to tell Bao Lei this information in time.
Watching the back go away.
Sumo sighed in his heart, feeling inexplicably that the end of this disaster was a bad thing.
If only the Metal Sigh disaster could last forever
Humans with cold weapons are unlikely to dislike large-scale wars, and survivors may live longer.
However, the game will not be extended because of the chaotic situation. Maybe from the beginning, this is the result he wanted.
That’s all.
We can only cope with the ever-changing situation by remaining unchanged.
In the next two days, Sumo put down his work and went to Longteng Village in person to start 'supervising the battle'.
The speed of recovery of major factories is related to the subsequent development and various plans.
The first is to support Bao Lei.
The candidates have basically been decided, and one hundred people will be selected from the veteran team.
Although the number is indeed a bit small, there is no doubt about the loyalty of these Pingtan veterans after a period of training.
Coupled with their war experience in the past ten years or so, having guns in hand is enough to exert the effect of a thousand people.
And this time to support Soma, we don’t just use one delivery opportunity.
With the number of challenge mission gifts, he planned to release weapons and equipment outside of manpower.
By then, with these equipment, Bao Lei can naturally attract more individual people, which will be much more effective than directly sending a hundred people.
And bring up weapons.
According to the production capacity of Kuangren Weapon Factory, the order submitted now has been scheduled for three months.
Naturally, Sumo would not wait so long, so he simply used the manager's small treasury to triple the size of the weapons factory.
Especially for workers, in order to catch up with the support plan, they have been offered compensation points for their contribution.
It’s an excitement comparable to a ‘wartime state’.
Many workers simply moved their beds directly into the factory and waited for the disaster to be over to start work immediately.
On the other side, factories that produce weapons-related ancillary products have also received massive orders.
Like Lianmeng Steel Factory, the number of orders made Spicy Iron Hammer almost burst into laughter.
Among them are not only those needed by residents in the territory, but also orders from allies in the alliance.
It is worth mentioning that.
Although the game still restricts players from revealing disaster information to the indigenous people, the restrictions on making insinuations are much less severe.
For example, Sumo directly proposed to Yehu that he could supply a batch of unaffected steel for the production of weapons in a few days.
Although the 'smart' Yehu didn't understand, he was very honest and quickly placed a large order.
Aldrich and Kevin are not slow either, and are equally willing to contribute massive orders.
Even at the bunker, the residents eagerly accepted the proposal and were willing to purchase supplies.
"The order is now there, but what if the Disaster Receiver finds that all the metals have returned to normal?" Chen Shen asked with some worry as he watched the people coming and going in Longteng Village, which was once again revitalized.
"It's not a big problem. Steel is worth the price."
"I forgot about this!" Chen Shen patted his head and suddenly realized.
Sumo smiled and said nothing: This is the result of having resource points and poor information. Even if it is only sold at the lowest market price, the territory can still make a lot of money.
Even if the allies find that all the steel has returned to normal, for the sake of insurance, they will use supplies to purchase a batch of steel and store it in stock to deal with repeated disasters in the future.
"By the way, many shelters in the southern suburbs have also made purchase requests. They are even willing to pay three or even five times the price."
"Shall we sell?"
"Sell!"
Somo paused for a moment, then agreed without hesitation.
It sounds bad to be an arms dealer, but this thing can indeed make money.
Furthermore, even if he doesn't earn the money, after the disaster is over, someone will step forward and earn it.
So what are you waiting for? Why not get ahead of others and make money first?
As for what will happen next, who can say for sure?
"Chen Shen." A smile appeared on Su Mo's face, and he looked at the young man next to him who was now much stronger.
The childishness of the former college student has faded from his face, and there is a hint of sadness and maturity between his brows.
The skinny body also has a hint of overwork and obesity caused by long-term work, making it appear rounder.
It is said that people do not grow up slowly, but in an instant.
Perhaps even he himself found it difficult to imagine that his life would suddenly become so exciting in just one year.
"What?" Chen Shen turned his head in surprise and couldn't help but be stunned.
Although Somo always had a smile on his face, most of them were polite smiles or jokes to create distance.
I have never seen such a natural and friendly smile in my memory.
"You've grown up."
"Grow up?" Chen Shen opened his mouth and made an exaggerated 'O' shape.
Well, Sumo was the only one in the entire territory who could treat him as a child. Remember, he was still a college student who had just graduated.
In the eyes of others, perhaps he is already a middle-aged man over forty.
"Look at that, do you feel it?" Sumo's eyes were still looking at the lively Longteng Village.
Chen Shen did not speak. He followed his gaze carefully. After a moment, he showed a thoughtful expression, but he still said:
"I don't understand."
"That means you understand." Sumo said as if he was being mysterious.
But what he said next left Chen Shen stunned on the spot.
"You know, we have more of the world than other people."
"What we can see now may not be seen by ordinary people in their lifetime."
Chen Shen's heart couldn't help but tremble, and he instantly realized what Sumo was going to say next.
"Want to see more of the world?"
"But.."
"As long as I'm here, what are you afraid of?"
Chen Shen didn't speak. He found that the inner construction he had finally built collapsed in an instant.
"Go to the roots of the giant tree, there is a bigger world there, too."
"Our retreat."
Sumo said softly that this was one of the only ways he could think of in the past two days.
Within at least one year, Tianyuan Territory will never be able to develop enough to face the enthusiasm of two billion people.
Therefore, once things really get out of control, the only way to survive is to abandon the current foundation.
And Giant Tree Root happens to be the best card in hand right now.
This is the best choice when nothing can be done, and it is also a retreat that no one would think of.
"Then who will be responsible for taking over the village after I leave?"
"How is Mr. Qiao?"
"He?" Chen Shen looked puzzled: "This guy can only talk on paper. He has some unrealistic fantasies in his mind every day and is always thinking about reforms. I'm afraid it's not appropriate?"
"No, it's just right."
Sumo was silent for a moment and explained softly: "Do you think it is really feasible to follow the system we have on Earth?"
Chen Shen remained silent, his mind working rapidly, and after a moment he shook his head.
The cruelty of the wasteland is not only caused by natural disasters, but also has a greater impact on the collapse of order and distortion of rules.
If we still use the system from the peaceful era and forcefully create an order that is not in line with the wasteland, it will only be counterproductive.
"While our cost of trial and error is not high now, let him toss around as much as he wants."
"In addition, Marshal Wang is also capable of managing economic development, so it is not a problem."
The 'genius' identity system in the future ruins was developed by Dean Qiao, and it has indeed solved the problem of survivors gathering together to a certain extent.
When he first learned the news, Sumo had even thought of killing him and wanted to solve the problem from the source.
But who would have thought that fate would play tricks on people? After a while, he had to rely on Qiao Yuansheng to think of countermeasures.
"Then I go with those veterans?"
Chen Shen digested it for a while, and his face showed emotion.
Indeed, as the territory is now stabilized, the effect is almost the same with or without him.
It has now entered a stage of chaos and disorder, or in other words, a stage of war.
It is no longer realistic to rely on one's duty to develop. As a large number of survivors land, the flames of war are bound to ignite the entire New World.
At this time, the territory needs more external expansion than internal integration and development.
"Don't worry, let them go and eliminate the risk first. You are here to be a manager, not to lead people into fights."
"But it won't take long. Just like I believe in you, I also believe in Bao Lei's abilities."
