[January 19th, Year 2 of the Wasteland Calendar]
【Territory Announcement!】
[Important reminder: Today is a rare holiday. Everyone will have enough personal time to solve life problems. 】
[In addition: After receiving the instructions from the lord, Tianyuan territory will build a third village, located near the fishman tribe. Residents who are willing to go to the new village development can go to the village committee to sign up! 】
Compared with the previous series of difficult winter disasters, the heavy fog disaster that lasted for half a year.
Metal sighed that the first day of the disaster did not bring much trouble to the residents' lives.
Many residents who got up early were even ready to go to work, but did not react until they saw the territory announcement.
It seems that since the last disaster, the lord has stipulated that the first day of the disaster is a holiday, and it can be extended depending on the situation.
However, after seeing the holiday reminder below, the peaceful village fell into lively discussions.
Less than two months have passed since the construction of Longteng Village, and the construction of a new village is about to start again?!
Is it prepared for the new residents who are coming?
In the territorial channel, more and more people are joining the hot discussion.
Ramen Juice: "Damn, the shop I bought in Longteng Village hasn't opened yet, why are we building a new village again?"
Chicken blood surged: "Near the fishman tribe, there are naturally a number of high-quality customers there!"
Mousse Cake: "Cao Gao has prepared the deposit, and must grab the store this time <(￣︶￣)>"
A plate of pickled cabbage and boiled fish: "If you don't understand, just ask. My good brothers from the fish-men tribe shouldn't see my nickname, right?"
Fluttering Moth: "Tsk, tsk, I can already smell the arrival of a large number of newbies!"
Old electrician: "By the way, Longteng Village is a place where heavy industry is concentrated. What direction is this new village heading in?"
Doomsday Madman: "I guess it's a weapons research and development base?"
Spicy Iron Hammer: "I'm sorry, my brother has gone crazy again. Let's take him to the hospital to have his brain checked now."
Yong Air Force: "I have a say, I vote for the breeding industry. Ahem, I don't mean fishing, don't get me wrong."
It has already gone through the construction of Longteng Village.
Although the emergence of new villages has caused discussion, more people are still paying attention to the large number of newcomers that are coming.
Judging from the excitement of world chat, the next month will be the peak period for landing.
More and more people will arrive in the New World through different coastlines and join the official game process.
It sounds a little strange.
When the sense of security is seriously insufficient, the idea of human beings to stick together is actually very low, and most people will regard the same kind as a threat.
When there is some sense of security but not enough, human beings' willingness to form a group will increase rapidly, and they are very much looking forward to joining the same kind.
Reaction in Tianyuan territory.
When more than 10,000 people came from the mountains and gathered together, everyone was still unfamiliar with each other. Everyone seemed to be seriously ill and didn't even want to say a word.
However, it has only been more than half a year. As the sense of security continues to increase, the familiarity between the residents has reached the level of brothers.
Now whenever I have free time, groups of various sizes gather in the square at the entrance of Hope Village, and lively conversations can be seen everywhere.
Or players on the same route get together to discuss how to improve the route level faster.
Or residents with the same interests get together and imagine their future life development together.
This scene is very impactful. For Lao Wang and his party who were just released from the "prison" in the morning, it is like putting an autistic person at a lively blind date meeting, and they are so embarrassed that they dig their toes on the ground. .
“It’s so peaceful here!”
"Yes, yes, although it is Su Shen's territory, it is too peaceful."
"When I close my eyes, I even think I'm back on Earth."
"Should we go there? They don't seem to care about us?"
"It should. It should be possible. Lord Su...has not placed any restrictions on us."
Having struggled a lot in the chaotic environment of the wasteland, the scene in front of me was extremely impactful.
Standing not far in front of Hope Village, a dozen or so people seemed to have roots under their feet, and they only dared to stop and observe the lively scene from a distance.
Lao Wang, who was among the crowd, felt even more complicated.
Unexpectedly, Sumo was actually willing to fulfill his promise and immediately released everyone after removing their tracking chips.
There was not even an interrogation, no warning, just the guards briefly stated the basic rules to be followed.
For example, you cannot wander outside the village after twelve o'clock in the evening.
For example, you cannot provoke others at will in the village, fight, etc. It is too simple to restrict them.
Isn't he worried that a group of players whose average level is above level ten will take advantage of the disaster to cause havoc?
Although he regained his freedom, these questions still lingered in Lao Wang's head.
What made him even more confused was that Sumo didn't even arrange where they would go or what work they would do.
When I asked the guard before, he just smiled and patted him on the shoulder, telling everyone to go to the General Work Administration to have a look.
This is so weird!
"Hey guys, you guys seem to be new here?"
"The face looks quite new, doesn't it?"
At this moment, two heads suddenly emerged from the back of the crowd and broke the silence.
The sudden sound, if they didn't know that they were in a safe place, these people who escaped from the base almost wanted to take action.
"Yeah, we...just got here."
Lao Wang reluctantly showed a smile and responded politely.
In fact, he didn't want to reveal that he and others were 'newcomers'. After all, according to past experience, there would be more or less bullying and suppression of newcomers in every place.
But the people here all have a certain quality that they don't have, a quality that makes them seem out of place.
It's hard to describe it, but it's similar to 'calmly'.
The people here are very calm and there is no pressure to survive at all.
As soon as they stopped here, they could clearly see the difference without even saying a word.
"Haha, this cute newcomer didn't even give any warning when he came to the village. I just said, why are you hanging around here?"
The two big heads said before they emerged from behind the crowd.
One is tall, one is short, one is black and one is white.
The two looked a little funny, wearing straw hats woven with tail grass on their heads.
"Let me introduce myself. I am Feng Chuiyu and he is Yu Chuifeng. We are preparing to form a caravan."
"Go to Qinggang City and surrounding areas and earn profits from cargo transportation."
The tall, dark man patted the little man next to him, and the muscles on his face seemed to be smiling.
"I wonder if you are interested in joining. Not only do we provide three meals a day, we also provide a daily reward of 8 iron coins, and even shares in the caravan!"
Although these newbies seem a little shy and not very strong, this is an advantage in the eyes of both of them.
The current price of a meal fluctuates between 2-3 iron coins, and the average price of three meals a day is 8 iron coins.
Including the reward of 8 coins, 16 iron coins is now the lowest daily salary position in Hope Village.
The old fritters in the village would rather go to the plantation to hoe the fields than join their caravan, which seems to have no future.
Only these newbies are likely to join.
really.
There was still some restraint in the escape team, but several people immediately had strange looks in their eyes.
The bold Lao Dai scratched his head and asked embarrassedly:
"that."
"Just call me Brother Yu."
"Brother Yu, we don't know anything about caravans. We only have a handful of strength, so we don't know."
"As long as you have some strength."
The short man ‘Yu Chuifeng’, who was holding his breath, finally found a chance to speak.
"Don't worry, the enemies will be dealt with by Brother Yu. We will also recruit additional guards to prevent you from being in danger."
It's impossible to expect a group of newbies to fight ferocious radioactive beasts.
For fear of scaring these people, Brother Yu immediately stood up boldly and patted the bulging muscles on his chest:
"Yes, you don't need to participate in the battle, you just need to keep an eye on the goods!"
Bold words, impassioned.
this moment.
A group of newbies who have just been released from prison seem to be a bright light in a dark world.
"Damn it, Brother Yu is awesome!"
"Add me, I can work and endure hardships, I just need to take care of the food."
"Brother Yu, Brother Yu, do we have a place to stay?"
"It doesn't matter if you can't live there, as long as you can have a mouth to eat normally."
"That's right. We lived in those ruins all the way here. Now we just need a place to shelter from the wind and rain."
Hearing the tragic experiences of the newbies, Brother Yu was overjoyed and quickly waved his hands and said:
"Don't be so pessimistic. You are now in Su Shen's territory. This is the safest place in human territory. You don't have to worry about your accommodation. I will let Xiaofeng arrange it. Each of you can share it."
There is also a set of toiletries next to the bed.”
"Of course. The premise is that you must sign a labor contract with the caravan for more than one year."
"No problem, of course no problem."
"I sign, I sign now!"
"Can I eat after signing, Brother Yu, I'm already hungry."
"I know we are hungry every day. We have to work first. Brother Yu, tell me, where should we go to load and unload the goods?"
It's great to be able to find the simplest physical work in a strange place.
Even if the salary is lower, it doesn't matter in everyone's eyes.
It is enough to have a stutter, and having a shelter from the wind and rain is simply a pleasure.
When they lived in the previous territory, they had to work for more than sixteen hours a day, in exchange for only a small amount of food, and they had to be wary of dangers that might come at any time.
Watching the newbies start to get involved, the two of them looked at each other and took out a stack of contracts from nowhere.
"Come on, after signing, we can go to dinner."
"As for the work, you can leave it until tomorrow. There's no rush now."
There isn't much written on the white paper. It probably means that the caravan's salary will not be lower than the village's minimum level.
Everyone needs to sign a one-year contract and cannot leave at will during the period, otherwise they will have to pay triple liquidated damages.
"Dude, what do you say?"
I watched everyone except Lao Wang write their names on the paper and press their fingerprints.
Brother Yu turned his head and looked over.
"Forget it, I'll sign it too."
The feeling of being isolated was not pleasant. After thinking about it carefully, Lao Wang was surprised to find that apart from being a high-level route, he had no other advantages or specialties.
"Don't worry, our 'high-end shopping' caravan will not treat you badly!"
After putting away everyone's contracts, Brother Yu put them into his arms with satisfaction.
"Now, let's go to the village. Everyone is open to eat today. All expenses will be paid by you, Brother Feng!"
"Oh, long live Brother Feng!"
"Hurry, hurry, I'm going to feel hungry."
"It smells so good, I can already smell the aroma of the food!"
The happy newcomers soon followed the two into the village and headed to the cheapest canteen.
Inside the Tianyuan Dungeon Manager's Office.
The guards reported the news truthfully, and Sumo nodded repeatedly.
After dealing with the chasing base guard soldiers and removing the tracking chips from their bodies, these unlucky escapees no longer pose much of a threat.
Ignoring the fact that each of them has reached level ten, they are just a group of ordinary people.
Letting these people freely into Hope Village was also one of Sumo's experiments to see how the villagers would treat a group of foreign survivors.
The result was satisfying and unexpected. Before entering the village, he was discovered by the sharp-eyed old villagers and soon developed into the collective.
Not bad.
There will definitely be more and more ‘newcomers’ joining us in the coming days. It’s great that the old villagers have this kind of consciousness.
The General Administration of Work can divert some people to various positions, and large-scale infrastructure work can also divert some people.
The remaining individual people with high-intensity autonomy joined these established large and small enterprises and various teams.
If someone has outstanding abilities, they will be screened out during this process.
The old-fashioned talent selection method is not suitable for the current wasteland environment. What Sumo wants more is to serve everyone in one pot.
In any case, let's first raise the population of the territory to at least 50,000 people.
Of course, one pot does not mean that you can accept all the good and bad.
During this process, once it is discovered that someone has a bad intention or commits an offense.
It was impossible to let these people go and expose the territory. The hard labor camp, which only had food and no wages, was still short of manpower.
Sumo has prepared several plans to deal with the upcoming migration wave.
Including Blue Star's wanderers, there are also corresponding ways to deal with them.
"Dear administrator, your loyal subject Huang Xiong is here!"
The office door opened, and Huang Xiong, the head of Huanggu Village, walked in, his face full of respect.
I still remember that when he first traveled to the territory with the Mist of Thousand Illusions, he was still sallow and thin, looking malnourished.
Less than half a year has passed, and the sufficient supply of materials has allowed the village chief to regain his strength and become mellower.
"I'm too busy these days to ask, how are the prisoners before?"
Huang Xiong didn't even raise his head and continued to speak respectfully.
"A total of 597 people have been arranged to the corresponding places to start working!"
"Um?"
Sumo frowned. This number seemed to be quite different from the first time he counted it.
"I seem to remember that there are more than just these people, right?"
"Yes. During the process of educating them, we have dealt with many people who wanted to escape, 49 people in total. There were also some who wanted to take advantage of us to relax our vigilance and snatch weapons to resist, but they have also been dealt with.
There are 95 of these people.”
"What?! You killed all those people?"
"No, of course not."
Huangxiong shook his head repeatedly and laughed sheepishly: "I followed the example of Village Chief Chen and established a hard labor camp. Now they are all hard laborers!"
Tsk.
This Huangxiong's learning ability is quite good.
It may be impossible for players on earth who have traveled from modern times to have absolute loyalty.
But these survivors who have been struggling in the post-war Blue Star world for more than two hundred years have great potential.
Although they have no game board and no route improvement capabilities.
But what Sumo wants is just such a group of people, a weapon that can stand on the other side of the player and help him deal with things.
"Let's go, you came just in time"
"Now let's go to Desolate Bone Village and let me see if you, the village chief, are qualified for your job!"
