Global Wasteland: Shelter Unlimited Upgrades Chapter 1160: The number of residents increases dramatically, and thousands of people fight against each other!
Chapter 1160: The number of residents increases dramatically, and thousands of people fight against each other!
Time flies, time still flies like an arrow, and the sun and moon still fly by.
Sometimes time seems to pass very slowly, but when it really passes, you will find that it is surprisingly fast.
Before you know it, one month has passed since the first batch of survivors were rescued.
It's April, and using 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. Some sporadic ones are quickly dismissed by discussions, and not many people care at all.
.
But then again, for most survivors.
really.
In the continuous fatigue and busyness, in the endless labor and migration day after day, and in the hardships and dangers one after another.
It is no longer within the capabilities of normal people to think about how 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 gone through.
In all corners of the New World, gaps have officially emerged in the lives of survivors.
The northeast coast of the New World, the giant tree root sea area.
Although the three major gangs were completely destroyed and tens of thousands of gang members were tried and disbanded, the living environment around the sea area is no longer as bad as before.
However, due to the arrival of migration waves, 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 was already beginning to take shape, Zhang Long quickly stood up and greeted Bao Lei with a hearty laugh when he saw Bao Lei coming back with a dark face.
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 large and small inns along the coast of the New World are naturally not exempt from 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 were fishing in Jiang Taigong, looking weak and waiting for these impulsive people to come and kill them.
It was 'reasonable self-defense' anyway, and there was nothing the security team could do.
So once a fight breaks out, Bao Lei now handles it in a very simple way, and captures all the survivors.
"Lao 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 and expanded, 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 cells continues to decrease.
If the dozens of people arrested last night were put in, I'm afraid it would be close to full capacity again.
"You know, spring is coming soon, and those guys can't stand it anymore."
"Too."
Zhang Long stood up, the two shook hands and sighed at the same time.
In 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 giant tree root sea for so long, it's almost time for us to set off."
"Why, why do you want to leave so suddenly?"
Bao Lei was slightly surprised.
It should be said that before Chen Shen arrived, there was still a layer of separation 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 after he confirmed that behind the security team was the Tianyuan territory he was looking for, the human Su Shen.
As the captain, Lu Yongyi could only lament that fate was playing tricks on people.
It's like there is 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 loggerheads at sea.
Now that we have come to the New World, the situation is getting worse day by day, and people are clamoring for separation every day.
However, Lu Yongyi did not kindly tell those guys about the connection between the security team and Tianyuan Territory.
Naturally, splitting is perfectly normal.
"Are you going to go directly to the territory?"
"I have this idea, but we have to wait and see what the next disaster will be."
After chatting and laughing all the way, the two of them came to the station's 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 lunch time, so Zhang Long didn't refuse and simply sat down to eat together.
In a sense, the two parties have become a good family now, and the previous unfamiliarity is naturally no longer necessary.
"This is the first Ten Thousand Paths 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%, the disaster was postponed this time because of the conflict. Naturally, we have to send people in to have a look, but most likely they will just accompany you for one round. After all,
Without the support of routes, it would be too difficult to climb the rankings.”
"Actually, it's not much better if you have route support. It's not like fighting. It's not a fair competition."
Bao Lei burped and showed a somewhat envious expression:
"Having said that, those rewards are really coveted. If ordinary people can get them, they will definitely become famous."
"It's not just a blockbuster, it's something that attracts everyone's attention."
"The top epic route, even if the major territories lose their heads, they will definitely not give up on the person who finally gets the reward."
The two of them sighed to each other, and it would be a lie to say that they had never imagined that they would get the final reward.
Since fourteen days ago, the game announced the first round of "Ten Thousand Paths of War", delaying the arrival of the next round of disaster.
Similar discussions continued 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 'cook 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 facing an enemy siege, 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 receive.
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.
Improve the level of one route.
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.
Or it can be buff 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 roughness is simply more game than game.
At the same time, if you can enter the top 1,000 in the rankings, you will also receive corresponding ranking rewards.
Or 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, and the highest level can reach the epic level.
"Hey, let's not think too much about this epic route. We can rank among the top ten among billions of people."
"Then you have to be proficient in everything and omnipotent in everything."
Zhang Long licked his lips and quietly wrote the word "Su" on the table with his fingers.
In his opinion, the biggest reward had already been booked by Sumo in advance, and the others were just competing for the rest.
"Ahem, don't open the champagne in advance. There are foreign races involved in this fight."
Bao Lei is calm and not blindly optimistic.
Being able to use modern weapons and being able to use 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 make it to the final elimination stage, the alien races will most likely 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 be able to delay the next disaster. At least it leaves enough time for humans to sow seeds in the spring."
"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 build a few new factories. Are you interested in participating in Tundra?"
"Plantation?"
Tianyuan Territory, Tianyuan Underground City.
Listening to Dean 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 and start with farming.
It's just that it's easy to plant, but it's 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." Dean Qiao raised his hand and ticked the back of the plan, then turned down the page to continue reporting.
"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 knockout competition."
"According to data collected and integrated by the Ministry of Information, this conflict is expected to affect our survivor search and rescue progress in the next two months."
"Two months?" Sumo 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 number that sounds a bit exaggerated, it is more than the previous 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.
Unfortunately, due to the impact of this first "War of Ten Thousand Paths", the migrants stopped.
It is foreseeable that by the time spring comes, the maximum number of people will increase to 50,000, which will already be the limit.
"More than 30,000 people, less than 40,000"
Somo nodded slightly, not feeling much disappointed in his heart.
The addition of new people is a double-edged sword. Too many influxes in a short period of time can easily cause confusion.
The current speed is actually just right. Each wave of new recruits 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 just have 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 have to worry. There are only over 20,000 people, so they won't be able to cause a splash at all."
As expected, it is easy to leave professional matters to professionals.
When he hadn't been training in the future ruins and managing thousands of people, Somo still often felt mentally and physically haggard, with a feeling that he couldn't care about the beginning but the end.
But now, although the number of people has increased several times compared to that time, the pressure is almost non-existent.
In terms of people's livelihood, Qiao Yuansheng has overseen it, and various orderly policies have been introduced one after another, pushing the territory forward.
In terms of industry, Marshal Wang is pushing forward, and he can promptly observe the difficulties of major factories and allocate resources, so the development speed can be said to be very fast.
Li Hu is fully responsible for public security. The security 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.
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 during development and needs to be solved by himself.
If I have to say there is, it can only be the next one
