Chapter 1213: Factional differences, storm is coming!
Qigator!
Flying sword!
As morning dawned in the New World, more and more survivors woke up from their sleep.
This sudden news immediately caused a long-awaited commotion on the World Channel panel, and the screen refresh rate was comparable to the excitement at the beginning of Wasteland.
And in those territories with more than hundreds of thousands of people, it was even more like celebrating the New Year.
Countless people cheered and cheered, as if they had imagined the scene of the sword flying, going up to the sky and down to the earth.
Different from the power that technology gives to human beings, this kind of peak individual strength is undoubtedly more attractive.
As long as you master it, you can jump over the dragon's gate and reach the sky in one step.
Especially for those at the bottom, it is definitely a temptation that cannot be ignored.
Longqi Territory, Longqi County, Parliament Hall.
Snap.
The electric lights turned on one after another, driving away the darkness and coldness of the early morning before the sun rose.
The half-open door was pushed open from the outside from time to time, and hurried figures walked in, looking for a seat.
By the time Long Anguo entered, basically all the managers, big and small, had arrived.
Unlike the ordinary people outside who were cheering and cheering, everyone present frowned, their faces were as dark as water, and they silently looked through the information in their hands.
"Everyone is here."
Not long after, there was a sound at the door, and the half-open door closed from the outside in.
There were about sixty-five people in the room, which were all the top management of the Long Banner Territory, a territory of eight million people.
"You have all read the news in hand. I am afraid this matter is more of a disaster than a blessing."
Long Anguo frowned, his face filled with worry: "Let's share your opinions. How should we deal with it?"
After the words fell, the place remained quiet.
Only the sounds of heavy breathing, coughing from time to time, and frequent flipping of pages meant that everyone was not as calm as they appeared.
"Minister Zhang, you speak first."
Looking at Zhang Quan, who was in charge of territorial security affairs, Long Anguo looked solemn.
The rest of the people also raised their heads at this time and looked at Minister Zhang, who was sitting third from the top.
"The chief is right, this matter is indeed a disaster rather than a blessing."
Zhang Quan paused for a moment before raising his head, revealing a pair of extremely sharp eyes.
"If this Qi Master is indeed real, it is indeed a good thing for us humans as a whole. Even if we encounter those powerful alien races, we still have the ability to counterattack with a single target."
"But for the territory as a collective, once such a person appears, it will undoubtedly immediately destroy the collective order, weaken the collective strength and cooperation, and may even trigger internal factional conflicts."
Zhang Quan meant what he said and glanced at the management sitting on the left and right sides.
Some people cast friendly glances in support, some looked solemn and made no comment, and some seemed to want to refute but held back for some reason.
As long as there are collectives, there are factions.
Even a small group like Tundra, with tens of thousands of people, has splintered into factions with different opinions.
Not to mention territories like Dragon Banner, Northern Territory, Golden Eagle, and other large and small territories with hundreds of thousands of people.
At present, we are fighting for a goal, and the factions can still cooperate without affecting the overall situation.
But if there is such a force that clearly breaks away from the original system, there will be many factions that will be divided.
Except for the war faction, the neutral faction, and the peace faction.
I am afraid that there will also be technology factions, Qi refining factions, magic factions, etc.
Individuals' different pursuits of power will eventually evolve into huge ideological differences.
At that time, the territory of tens of millions of people will probably collapse quickly, eventually forming chaotic regions that are divided one after another.
"This is the battle of ten thousand paths."
"A battle of ten thousand paths may come true."
After reaching the conclusion, needles could be heard in the conference room, and the expressions of many managers who were different from Zhang Quan's faction suddenly changed.
"Minister Zhang's words are a bit alarmist. The points price for the Qi Refiner's main competition is a full three to fifty thousand points. Calculated based on five hundred points per person, this is the total net worth of seventy people."
Wei Tu, who was in charge of city construction, shook his head slightly and retorted:
"If we buy it at the full price, the price is 315,000, which means 630 people."
"There are only over a thousand people entering the Wanjing main competition, and there are many foreigners among them. Worrying about this matter in a short period of time may be unfounded."
In this main competition of the Dragon Flag Territory, only seventy-seven people can enter after full calculation.
It would be okay if everyone was together, but in fact most of them are separated by the game.
If you want to gather 70 people and create the Qi Refiner route, this is not something that can be done easily.
"Yes, even Chief Su may not be able to afford these if he makes it to the finals."
"The price is too expensive. We won't be able to afford it in a few years."
"And this legendary route must have strict requirements. According to our Chinese stories, refining qi requires spiritual roots. Ordinary people may not have such spiritual roots."
"Technology has always been the foundation for our foothold in the New World. Pursuing the illusory pursuit of immortality is too nonsense. We haven't even solved the problem of basic supplies."
Wei Tu opened his mouth, and many people agreed.
Excerpting the core idea, most people think that it is unfounded to worry about this fact now.
Besides, if the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up. This matter of individual strength should be left to Sumo and Chief Su to solve.
As the main group of development, Longqi Territory should have a longer-term goal.
More long-term?
Long Anguo glanced coldly at the people who were following him, and everyone's hearts suddenly tightened, and they hurriedly stopped in agreement.
"Ruan Bo, please tell me."
He looked at a middle-aged man sitting in the middle.
As a top scientific researcher who had developed biological inhibitors, Ruan Bo naturally became the chief scientist of the Long Banner Territory, mainly responsible for the restoration of existing technologies on the earth and the research of newly acquired technologies in the wasteland.
But when he mentioned this mysterious power, the latter shook his head:
"We have not been able to decipher the source of the alien race's energy so far. If there is a new power system, the scientific research institute may be powerless."
"And I think the main thing we should worry about now is not how to control this power in our Longqi territory."
"But" glanced at Zhang Quan, Ruan Bo looked solemn: "What if other territories have similar power before us?"
Wow.
The venue suddenly became noisy, and even a few calm neutrals became restless.
For ordinary people, the current environment of Longqi Territory is stable and its development is stable and improving.
Not only can it attract more and more survivors to join, but it can also unite these people to continue development.
But now something like this has happened.
It is hard to imagine that if a territory suddenly pops up on the world channel, claiming that one can choose the Qi Master route, or a similar individual power route.
Will these survivors who have settled in Longqi be crazy enough to set off immediately?
At this moment, the door of the conference room suddenly opened from the outside in.
A livid-faced man walked in, holding a stack of intelligence materials ready for distribution.
"Chief, there is new information."
"Say it directly."
"Just seven minutes ago, a lord on the World Channel stood up and claimed his name: Gonggong. He claimed that there were legendary routes in his territory, which allowed ordinary people to have abilities similar to those of a Qi practitioner, and he could fly into the sky and into the sea to do anything. Now he wants to
Recruiting fellow people to achieve great things together, and gave the specific location coordinates of the territory, which is not far from our Long Banner territory!"
"What?"
call
Standing in front of the studio door, Sumo let out a long sigh of relief.
The turbid gas formed a faint white cloud and smoke, which was blown away by the wind.
The temperature is lower.
In the third stage of the Earth Fire Desert, the temperature dropped again at night, from the initial 25 degrees to about minus 3 degrees.
Even though the room was sheltered and heated, I could still feel a chill coming from the bottom of my heart.
In the distance, Qi Jie and his four friends came back after collecting a batch of Earth Fire Aloe Vera, chatting and laughing.
In the third stage, in addition to the Earth Fire Reed, a total of three new plants appear.
They are: Tumbleweed, Bell of Fire, Earth Fire Aloe
Similar to the side effects of reed, the three plants also have side effects, large and small.
Especially this earth fire aloe vera, you are likely to have diarrhea after eating it.
But I have to say, this is still good news.
Aloe vera can be squeezed into juice, which contains a lot of water, minerals, and lignin.
After being ingested into the human body, it can effectively replenish the water needed by the human body, as well as monosaccharides and polysaccharides.
In a terrain like the desert, it is enough to be called a treasure.
"Lord, it's late at night, so I'll be on guard tonight."
Finding Sumo dazed in front of the door, Qi Jie came over and whispered softly after counting the quantities.
"It's okay, you go and rest."
"I'm not sleepy. I'm standing here sober and thinking about some issues."
Somo waved his hands, frowned, and still looked up at the sky along the cold moonlight.
Several people had not seen the sales slip from the merchant, so naturally they did not know what was shown on it.
Of course, even if they see it, they will most likely not be able to guess how terrifying the impact of this thing is.
I have to say.
The emergence of the Qi Master route suddenly made Somo feel like a storm was coming.
"Ten Thousand Paths"
Not to mention the ruins discovered by the Demon Soul Tribe before, Abe Zhdev's shelter was excavated from it, and the blood of heroes found in the shelter.
In the ruins of the future, Soma himself briefly used the authority to become a true god and set foot in the outside world.
He knew very well that this magical power was not illusory, nor was it absolutely impossible for humans to master it.
"I just didn't expect that this day would come so early."
The ruins were in the wasteland for about six years, and humans began to slowly pursue the same supernatural power as the aliens.
Yu Tie is also a product of that period, possessing strength beyond the understanding of normal people.
So much so that after possessing divine status, he suddenly became a god.
But now, this time has been advanced by a full four years, and it has been shown to humans in such an intuitive way.
As long as you have a route and meet the conditions, you will have power.
“What exactly is the purpose of the game?”
Sumo's heart sank slightly and he asked this question again.
As he continued to unearth information, he no longer felt that this poor survival was just a whim choice in the game.
If a large world can be sacrificed to allow a group of ordinary people to participate, there must be hidden secrets that he doesn't know about.
"What's more, there are still hundreds of years before the destruction of the universe, which means that it will take thousands of years for the big world, and hundreds of thousands of years for the small world. Even if it is urgent, there is no need to be so urgent, right?"
With infinite energy, you will have a clearer understanding of the underlying Soma of the route.
It is it that gives humans the ability to break through cognitive boundaries and the ability to absorb external energy and convert it into internal energy.
And the essence of this Qi Refiner is that it is only endowed with a more powerful transformation ability.
And to a certain extent, energy can be released.
"We have to speed up the process."
Sumo felt in his heart and felt that the next development would definitely not be like that in the ruins of the future.
Each large territory can still develop step by step and eventually become an unshakable giant.
If these routes come true, small territories will also be able to fight.
Who will be stronger and who will be weaker at that time remains to be seen.
A night of silence.
Suddenly feeling a sense of urgency, Somo decided to continue to speed up the progress of the next desert crossing.
After trading with Catwoman Abe who was chasing after him, the points in his hand skyrocketed again by 2,800 points, officially breaking through the 5,000 point mark and reaching 6,600 points.
However, even though there are many points, there is still a huge gap between purchasing a legendary route.
Looking reluctantly at the purple sales list sold by the merchant, Sumo did not delay, but chose to continue setting off.
On the fifth day, the team traveled another 120 kilometers and reached the fourth stage.
Compared with the third stage, the terrain of the fourth stage has once again undergone earth-shaking changes.
The towering volcano-like sand dunes are densely piled together. There are hundreds of them as far as the eye can see, and yellow gunpowder smoke is constantly floating out and gathering into the sky.
Earth fire!
Thinking of the name of this desert, the five people's hearts suddenly became cold and they knew the real reason.
"I'm afraid that the major natural disaster on the ninth day will be the eruption of these volcanoes."
It is impossible to tell whether an extinct volcano is an active volcano, but you can predict such a scene through the tips in the manual.
The earth cracked and fire erupted.
The entire desert will become a barren land and a forbidden area that is difficult for living creatures to enter.
"Go, keep going!"
Compared to yesterday, it was only 3pm when we arrived at the dividing line today.
After thinking about the pros and cons, Sumo continued to choose to speed up to the terrain exit.
It is a waste of time to stay here and wait for survivors who can enter the second terrain. Going to the exit of the terrain is obviously a better choice.
As for the merchants in the fourth stage, fresh water and food finally appeared, but the prices have doubled compared to the first stage.
A bottle of 500 ml water sells for 150 points, which is more expensive than what Somo sells to Catwoman.
A piece of brown bread is slightly cheaper, but it still costs a full 120 points.
And with the previous rare-level sales list as a comparison object, Sumo glanced at the items on this ordinary sales list and showed no interest at all.
Before it got dark, the group traveled more than 70 kilometers again, reaching an astonishing 400 miles a day.
"Wait, that's the oasis?"
Stopping at the top of a volcano, Somo looked into the distance.
Under countless black and yellow embellishments, a touch of lush green finally appeared in the center of the earth.
The area is not large, only half an acre of land is less than 500 square meters, and it cannot accommodate too many people.
But for contestants who are trying to survive in the desert, it is undoubtedly the best place to survive!
