Chapter 1375 Leaving alone and entering the wilderness again!
According to the location information left by the expedition team that the company visited Tianyuan, Hulai City should be located in the northwest of the southern plate, leaning towards another area bordering the central plate.
Starting from Mengyue Territory, the straight-line distance between the two places should be between 4,000 and 6,000 kilometers.
Even if you take the water route, it will take at least a week to arrive.
Sumo originally planned to take people there to see what the interests of one of Blue Star's three giant companies were, and whether Hu Lai City might pose a threat to players in the future.
However, after entering the Mengyue territory and witnessing the vibrant vitality here under the leadership of Xi Ruyue and Chu Chaofei, his thoughts changed subtly.
In today's uncertain and chaotic period, the value of talent cannot be measured in words.
You must know that Tianyuan only has just over 100,000 people, but the total number of various management personnel is already hundreds.
As for Mengyue Territory, which also has a population of 100,000, Xi Ruyue and Chu Chaofei alone can manage the territory in an orderly manner.
Although there are various other factors involved, the positive impact brought by the two cannot be denied.
Thinking about it this way, considering that there are still a large number of "wild" talents waiting to be discovered in the southern fire domain, where can Somo sit still?
Before he came out from the ruins of the future, he specially compiled a talent list.
It contains detailed records of many people like Xi Ruyue who have no room to develop in a short period of time but have extremely huge potential. Now they can be put to great use.
As for taking these people away from the original established development line in advance, will there be any unexpected effects?
This has become a serious concern due to changes such as the division of the sector, the introduction of routes, and the Battle of Ten Thousand Paths.
The Mengyue Territory, which could become one of the top 100 territories in the future, actually fell under a small disaster.
Then who can say clearly what changes will occur after several major disasters in the future.
As expected, Xi Ruyue and Chu Chaofei just hesitated for a moment, wondering whether this move would have any negative impact on the Mengyue territory, which had just begun to improve.
After receiving the assurance that the Soma Society would send someone to maintain order, Conveniently agreed.
By the way, Xi Ruyue breathed a sigh of relief, and her entire mental state changed, as if the heavy burden on her body had been lifted.
"Let's find a place to talk. There seem to be a lot of people here."
Sumo raised his head and looked around.
As evening approaches, most people who worked during the day are already on their way back to the county town.
People began to move around the open-air hospital, and many nurses planned to come to the warehouse to pick up medicine.
It's just that Xi Ruyue and Chu Chaofei were here, so they never dared to come over.
Chu Chaofei quickly led the way and took the two of them to a studio in the hospital used for rest. He picked up the kettle on the table and poured some warm wild tea.
Several people sat across from each other around the table, and the dim lights in the room reflected long and narrow shadows.
"We are one of our own, so I won't hide it from you. Currently, Tianyuan doesn't have much information about the exploration of the three major forces. For example, the foundation and academy are better, and we, the enterprise
Although I have already conducted a transaction with them, I still know very little about them in general. This time I came to the Southern Fire Territory sector specifically because I wanted to explore the details of the company."
"enterprise"
After hearing this, Chu Chaofei considered it for a moment and said: "I have seen many players discussing it on the World Channel, and their Hu Lai City seems to be recruiting survivors, but the strange thing is that they went there
The survivors were as if they were mute, and no more information came out.”
Objectively speaking, it should not be said that no news has been released.
It’s just that the news that came out was far from what everyone expected.
In fact, most people go to the company's Hu Lai City just to try their luck, hoping to find a job there to make a living, and by the way, seeking shelter from the company to protect them from other survivors and alien plunder, as well as the threat of natural disasters.
.
But once you get there, you won’t have to think about work.
Blue Star's automation has long reached an exaggerated level, let alone the company that is named after it.
Hu Lai City does not need so much labor at all, and naturally it cannot provide so-called jobs.
As for protection, I heard that no one dares to cause trouble there, but small-scale conflicts have never stopped.
It was even mentioned more than once in the complicated information on the World Channel.
Hu Lai City has divided its surrounding areas according to distance, with every five kilometers as a level, and a total of four areas have been divided.
The closer you are to the interior, the higher the level of the area, and the harder it is to obtain the qualifications to enter.
So far, among the tens of thousands of survivors who have arrived around Hu Lai City, not to mention how many have obtained the qualifications to enter the city, very few have even gone to the first area.
"This is one of the reasons why I want you to go to the company to explore."
Somo picked up the teacup and took a sip of the slightly bitter tea.
Unlike in Future Ruins, as soon as the major forces arrived in the New World, they were forced to squeeze into a small area and continued to fight for resources for two full years.
The area of the New World has expanded several times, especially after it has now become five major plates. Some resource conflicts that need to be resolved have naturally been eased, and no serious conflicts have broken out.
Including the war between humans and aliens that would break out at the end of the year, it also disappeared invisibly.
However, this is only an alleviation and does not resolve the essential contradiction at its root.
Between humans and aliens, the winner will eventually be decided, and one side will be driven out of the wasteland.
And as the major forces develop peacefully for a longer period of time, the intensity of conflicts will become more terrifying.
When each major territory possesses artillery and rockets, then a round of war may affect tens of thousands of square kilometers of land.
In the same way, the alien race is also accumulating strength in this process, waiting to seize the opportunity when all-out war breaks out.
The five major sectors that seem peaceful at present will eventually evolve into battlefields under the acceleration of continuous disasters.
Each sector needs an organization with absolute strength to end small-scale ongoing disputes.
Only when five winners emerge will we be able to discuss the final result.
The Ten Thousand Paths Controversy that will take place at any time during this period is the catalyst and the means to forcibly accelerate the start of the dispute.
"Tianyuan will not put too much energy into other sectors before completely clearing the central sector. But we need to always pay attention to the trends of other sectors to ensure that our progress never lags behind others."
“Is the future going to be chaotic?”
Xi Ruyue blinked and suddenly brought the topic to an aspect unrelated to the upcoming task.
This is actually a question that survivors often ask.
Too many people have reached the brink of collapse and are relying on instinct to survive.
If the next autumn harvest can be guaranteed, then the next winter can be sustained. However, if there is another targeted disaster similar to the three-month cold spring, chaos may be about to break out.
"The future will definitely be chaotic, so chaotic that I can't guarantee how many people will live to see the real dawn."
Sumo thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and nodded.
"But you don't have to worry. Only when chaos is born and intensifies can it finally end."
This was the first time Su Mo talked about this matter so seriously in an informal setting. Even Su Chan next to him sat up straight.
"Some time ago, we launched a war involving tens of thousands of people with the alien race. It was this war that made me confirm that Tianyuan's current path is correct. We do have some capabilities to solve local chaos. Of course, it is far from what I thought.
There is still a long way to go to resolve all the chaos, and it may take several years, or even more than ten years."
"But I can guarantee that we are on the right path. The new continent in the future will never become a new continent shared by humans and certain creatures on earth. It will be our second home besides the earth, and it will also be a place where we can develop again.
An opportunity to evolve civilization.”
Looking at Xi Ruyue and Chu Chaofei who were restrained, Sumo took a deep breath and continued speaking in an unusually domineering manner.
"We are building arsenal-related facilities regardless of cost. We are recruiting and training the army without forcing personal will as much as possible. The progress is very fast. Every day, hundreds of recruits walk out of the training camp, and dozens of tanks drive out of production.
line, after obtaining weapons that can be armed to the teeth, they will definitely have enough strength to ensure that we achieve our goals."
"I know what you are worried about."
"But believe me, Tianyuan's development speed is definitely beyond your imagination. It may seem to you that in order to achieve the goal and end this chaos, it will take a long time that is difficult to see until the end of life. However, in my opinion,
It may only take a small opportunity to end it."
"This opportunity may come tomorrow, it may come the day after tomorrow, or of course it may come now."
Ding dong.
There was a crisp sound in his ears, and Sumo subconsciously thought that he was hallucinating.
But when the sound appeared again, accompanied by the appearance of the game panel, his expression suddenly became strange.
Hey guys, does the game also include eavesdropping?
What appears now is naturally not what he calls an opportunity. Of course, in the eyes of ordinary survivors, it may not be much different.
Counting the time, it has been half a month since the cold spring weather ended.
There are only twenty days left before the next disaster. Counting the notice time, now is the time for him to make one of three choices.
Hiding the game panel for the time being, Somo coughed slightly and continued to look at the two men who were bowing their heads in thought.
Under normal circumstances, he would definitely not have brought up these extremely heavy-sounding topics related to the fate and future of mankind at the very beginning to discourage the two of them.
But considering that we are going to recruit talents for the Southern Fire Region sector next, it is inevitable that there will be a few tough ones among them who will have no effect on their reputation.
If he did encounter him, it would be impossible for the duck to fly away.
Even if he uses words, lies and coaxes, Sumo will take all these talents back to his territory.
What was originally a simple conversation lasted until the middle of the moon.
Most of the time, Sumo was outputting, explaining Tianyuan's current development plan and the way forward.
It is not only helping the two of them understand the situation clearly, but also organizing their own thoughts to prepare for recruiting others next.
For a small part of the time, Su Chan supplemented the work and assisted in the argument from a third party's perspective.
It doesn't have much nutritional value, but at least it can relieve some tense high-frequency atmosphere.
After the conversation.
Xi Ruyue and Chu Chaofei both looked a little lost and decadent. They didn't know what they thought of, as if they had been hit to the bottom.
With their current level and vision, it is indeed difficult for them to calmly accept the large number of setbacks and difficulties they will face in the future.
Especially those types of disasters that make people's scalp numb as soon as they listen to them. After listening to them, they directly make people think that it would be better to die now.
But just when Su Chan boldly guessed that the two of them would be depressed for many days, she didn't know what Xi Ruyue and Chu Chaofei had figured out after returning home at night.
At dawn, when Somo saw the two of them again, they were back to their energetic state, and there was no trace of depression or decadence.
"Yes, yes, I did not misjudge you."
This is in line with Somo's understanding of the mental state of the existing survivors.
Those who become demoralized when encountering setbacks and tribulations should have stayed in the wasteland for a year.
Anyone who can persevere and still not give up after two years is either an optimist with strong self-liberation ability, or a stress-resistant person with mental tenacity and the ability to withstand pressure.
It is basically impossible to expect that a few words can break down these people's mental defenses.
"Su Chan will follow you to Hu Lai City. Please take care of her along the way."
In addition to Su Chan, there are also Feng Long and more than 30 warriors.
It should be very safe to go to Hu Lai City, and Sumo doesn't have to worry about any accidents.
On the contrary, these people were a little worried that he would run into trouble that he couldn't solve if he was wandering around the southern fire zone alone.
Sumo smiled and said nothing. He reached out and touched the demon soul clan mark on his right arm and the storage module on his wrist.
Not to mention the help the system can provide at critical moments.
Just the ability to transform other people, the storage module loaded with the Sun Chaser Armor, the Statue of Lance and other trump cards.
At the moment, he really can't think of any trouble that can't be solved.
Furthermore, as long as he carries a positioning beacon, the dungeon can carry out targeted delivery at any time.
Under the premise of not sparing energy, it only takes a few minutes to form an army on the same spot.
"Maybe after I finish my work here, we can all meet up at Hu Lai City."
"Contact me if you have any questions."
The Western Wilderness section is vast and desolate, and it is Dragon Flag's territory, so it is difficult to interfere with it.
The northern ice fields and bitter cold places are far away, and there is no way to start in a short time.
Not to mention the Eastern Rift Valley plate. The criss-crossing terrain of the Great Rift Valley predetermines that it is impossible for a super-large gathering place to be formed there, and the transportation is more troublesome than the other plates.
After counting, only the southern fire domain plate with developed waterways is the best choice at the moment!
Before Tianyuan unified the central plate, I realized that this might be one of the few opportunities for a lord to move freely for a long time in the future.
Patting the communicator on his waist, Sumo quickly boarded a guerrilla boat, turned on the engine and left.
Needless to say, he had not dared to check the disaster choice that was prompted by the game last night until now.
As the last disaster before the autumn harvest, no one knows whether what awaits is an opportunity or despair!
