Chapter 1465 Demigod level, follow the choice of your heart!
Boulder territory.
Fierce flames burned in Tianzhai, reflecting half of the sky in red.
Two months later, when the survivors got rid of the two-year period of food shortage, territories with natural geographical advantages like Boulder became popular.
Considering that a war between humans and aliens may break out at any time.
Even ordinary people have an urgent need for a sense of security and are no longer blindly greedy for the benefits of a large territory.
Of course, the welfare of a large territory is not as good as that of a boulder territory.
In Tesla's territory, only bonfire New Year's parties can be held, while unlimited potatoes are served.
The Boulder Territory can provide delicious scones, some fast food, and precious grain wine.
No one cares whether grain wine is brewed from good grains or from some bad grains.
No one cares that this meal also needs to pay for three days of public supply quota.
At this moment, all worries are forgotten.
The villagers sitting around the campfire sang loudly and used familiar melodies to relieve the psychological pressure they had suppressed for two years.
As the atmosphere gradually reached a climax, the lord Lao Zhang walked out among the crowd.
After serving as the lord for half a year, Lao Zhang has long since lost his initial youthfulness, and the firelight shines on his weathered and rough face, making him look particularly determined.
He cleared his throat, and the whole place suddenly fell silent, with nearly ten thousand pairs of eyes focused on him.
"Brothers and sisters from all over the world, we are sitting here tonight not only to celebrate the arrival of the New Year, but also to commemorate the first year we walked hand in hand in the wasteland."
“Looking back at the past, life in the wasteland is like a heavy textbook, teaching us the true meaning of persistence and unity. Together we resisted the invasion of hunger, defeated the ravages of cold, and faced countless unknown natural disasters and challenges. I believe that
It is these hardships that forged the perseverance of all human beings, allowing us to learn to sow the seeds of hope in the desolation and find the ray of light in the abyss of despair."
"Looking ahead to the new year, I don't want to say anything vain here."
"Three years after the Wasteland, the Boulder Territory will continue to develop the follow-up Stone Mountain. We will reclaim more farmland at the foot of the mountain, introduce a variety of new crops, and make scones and vegetables a common meal on every household's table.
Let grain wine no longer be a luxury product, but a drink that every villager can taste at any time."
"In addition, we will strengthen the defense of the village to ensure the safety of every villager. We will set up education so that knowledge will not be lost in the children's generation. In addition, bravely explore the unknown and find precious
Resources and exchanging technology with other territories are also the focus of the next development of the Boulder Territory.”
"I believe that one year from now, we will welcome a new boulder territory!"
Lao Zhang's words were like a warm current, warming everyone's heart.
The crowd instantly burst into thunderous applause and cheers, and the atmosphere reached a boiling point.
The villagers raised their glasses one after another, paying high respect to the lord and extending their most sincere blessings to the bright future of the Boulder Territory.
"Hey, this guy is getting more and more impressive!"
Luo You stood in the crowd and couldn't help but smile when he saw Lao Zhang scolding Fang Qiu.
From the timid fishermen at the beginning, to today the lord of a territory of 30,000 people.
People grow up at an alarming rate through trials and difficulties. Even if people in the Hoshino Territory saw what Lao Zhang looks like now, they would not associate the two together.
"Dad, I plan to leave in a few days."
Luo Xiang stood behind Luo You, watched Lao Zhang's speech for a while, and suddenly said.
"Have you figured it out?"
"Well, my cousin is indeed right. This kind of stable environment is not suitable for me. Taking risks and growing up between life and death is what I really want."
Luo Xiang paused. Although his words still sounded babbling, his tone was much calmer than before.
"Then go ahead, I won't stop you. Men always have to experience something before they understand their responsibilities."
Luo You nodded happily.
He was not worried about Luo Xiang's life and death, and he never thought about whether they would see each other again after they separated.
That's how it is in the wasteland, seize the day and night.
If you stop and stay where you are, you may have a short-term safety, but at some point you will wake up and understand the cost of wasting time.
"By the way, my cousin hasn't been back for three weeks?"
"I don't know. Maybe the Tesla territory is busy. Why are you paying attention to this? You should think about preparations for going out next."
Luo You shrugged and brought the topic over without leaving any trace.
After a while, the speech ended. Lao Zhang smiled and waved around, then walked quickly off the stage and went straight to Luo You.
"Am I doing okay?"
"It's okay, but I don't know if these big words can be realized in the future."
"That's not possible. I never brag. Whatever I say will come true."
Lao Zhang chuckled and was about to use some things that happened in the past to support his words.
But at this moment, several guards in brand new uniforms squeezed through the crowd.
"Lord, Deputy Lord Ji just came to the dock and asked us to help deliver a package to you."
"What?"
Lao Zhang was suddenly startled, "Vice Lord Ji is back? Where are the others?"
"No, Vice Lord Ji left after giving us the package."
The guard shook his head and quickly recounted what had just happened at the dock.
"Vice Lord Ji is driving a ship that we have never seen before. It is about ten meters tall? Anyway, it looks much more advanced than the Golden Eagle's ship. So when we first arrived, we were still guessing which one it was.
A distinguished guest from the territory."
"This is a package. He asked me to help deliver it to you. He said that he has important things to do in the next period of time and may not come to our boulder territory again in a short time. If you have any questions, just take a look at the package.
I understand."
"In addition, he also wishes you and Mr. Luo a happy New Year and strives to realize your dreams as soon as possible."
A ship never seen before?
Is it more advanced than the golden giant eagle?
In just a moment, Lao Zhang immediately thought of the patrol boat that left a deep memory in him.
At the same time, an indescribable special feeling surged into his heart.
"Lord?"
"Oh, give me the package."
Taking the heavy package from the guard's hand, Lao Zhang took a deep breath and looked at Luo You.
The so-called important thing is naturally the gambling battle between gods that is about to start next.
Is this moment finally coming?
The two looked at each other and could see the heaviness flashing in each other's eyes.
They were able to hide in this boulder territory and develop step by step, but Somo had to face the difficulties, face countless alien races, and endure huge pressure to win the gambling battle.
Just thinking about the difficulty in between makes people feel frightened.
"Let's go and have a look together."
Leaving the lively crowd, Luo You, his son, and Lao Zhang arrived in front of the stone house assigned to Somo one after another.
Although Somo only comes back every two weeks, this stone house is cleaned every day by a dedicated person.
Gently pushing open the stone house, a faint fragrance of green grass came from inside.
The bright light came on, Luo Xiang stood guard at the door, and Luo You and Lao Zhang walked into the house. The outer layer of the package was waterproof kraft paper, and except for the seal with the word "Ji" engraved in paint, no additional encryption methods were used.
Lao Zhang took the scissors and gently peeled off the paint.
The kraft paper is spread out from the middle to the outside. There is a letter on the top, and two information bags wrapped in waterproof bags below.
"Are you here to dismantle it?" Lao Zhang turned to look at Luo You.
"Just take it apart. What are you afraid of?"
After glaring at Lao Zhang, Luo You himself was actually a little nervous.
It should be said or not, the gambling fight is coming, if there is information about the gambling fight in this letter
Lao Zhang took a deep breath and gently opened the envelope.
What is surprising is that there is only one page in it, and the text is divided into four paragraphs.
'Seeing the words is like seeing the face. You must have guessed what I am going to do before you open this letter. Hush, don't make it public. Please help me keep this secret for the time being.'
'In ten days, a fleet will set off towards the Golden Eagle. It is expected to pass through the Boulder Territory in twenty-five days. At that time, you can decide for yourself whether to stay or go to another place.'
'Friendly reminder, if you follow your own choices, you will often get blessings from the Stone God~'
'If you choose to leave, give the gifts in the package to the next lord of the Boulder Territory.'
There is no information about the gods' gambling.
There is no mission that they should not bear.
After reading the contents of the letter, Luo You breathed a sigh of relief. After such a long time, he finally arrived at Tianyuan's ship.
Staying in the boulder territory really wouldn't be able to utilize his strengths.
The only alien races that are accessible here are mostly at the bottom of the alien race and do not have much value.
Only by going to Tianyuan and getting in touch with the frontline battlefields of alien races can we find research objects.
"Twenty-five days later, that will be the first week after the gambling battle between the gods begins."
"It seems you should take advantage of the time now and hand over the work as soon as possible."
Luo You smiled and took the letter, read it silently in his mind and couldn't help but laugh.
However, what surprised him was that Lao Zhang beside him did not respond for a long time and fell into deep thought.
"What, you don't want to leave, do you?"
"No, I was wondering if you would stay there after you go?"
"Of course not. I will immediately follow the troops to the front line. Why stay at the rear?"
"That"
Lao Zhang hesitated and shook his head slightly.
"I was wondering if I should stay for a while, in case the first god gambling battle ends soon?"
"It's up to you. It's fine if you stay. There's no need to limit yourself. Just follow your own choice."
The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not pierce the window paper.
Unlike the ordinary survivors outside, what they want has never been a stable life, but to catch up with Soma and help humans take root in the wasteland.
Including Lao Zhang, who had just felt that he was falling behind, he couldn't wait to express his feelings.
"Okay, it seems you don't need to give this gift to anyone else."
Lao Zhang breathed out.
If it were before, he would definitely go to Tianyuan Territory without hesitation, where there is a bigger stage that allows him to continue to test the upper limit of his abilities.
But in the past two months, Sumo's periodic visits and special actions every time he came here made him realize the importance of the Boulder Territory.
There seems to be other values here that he doesn't know about.
Therefore, before the outcome of the first gambling battle was determined, he decided to stay here.
After all, unlike people like Luo You who have great abilities, he is just an ordinary person.
Even if there was only a slight chance of helping Sumo, Lao Zhang didn't want to miss the opportunity because of his own ideas.
A few days later.
In a deep valley that no one has ever set foot on in the southern Fire Domain Plate.
A few waves rippled in the water, and a low-profile but technologically advanced ship quietly sailed from the downstream and stopped at a place where the water flow was slower.
From the cabin, a tall figure jumped out and landed on the shore.
"It looks pretty good here." Sumo looked around. The terrain in the deep valley was like a gourd. The exit and entrance were very narrow, but there was a huge lake in the middle.
Although dense forests cover both sides of the bank, the land area is really small, only more than twenty meters wide.
While it was still early, Sumo took out a hatchet from the cabin and quickly explored the surrounding area.
In terms of location, this is already close to the edge of the New World.
Less than a hundred kilometers further along the water system, you can leave the New World and enter the ocean surrounding the plates.
Maybe when we first landed, there were still human activities here.
But with the emergence of the giant dragon Xianjiang and the plate split again, there is indeed no trace of human activity in the surrounding area.
And even if it takes a few years, the speed of human development will not be able to reach this point.
“The location is perfect, but I don’t know if the water depth is enough.”
Somo nodded with satisfaction, jumped on the boat, took off his clothes and jumped into the water.
Because it is close to the sea water outside, the river water in the deep valley is extremely cold, estimated to be only minus 5 degrees Celsius.
But for Soma's current physique, it is no different from warm water.
Soon, Somo swam to the bottom and measured the approximate depth.
It may have been affected by earthquakes when the tectonic plates split. There is still a depth of nearly 120 meters below the water level, which is definitely a good place to hide things.
"Enough!"
Returning to the water, Somo had a thought in his mind.
Wow.
A gap suddenly opened in the void, and a ship more than three hundred meters long crashed straight out of it.
"It's been a long time no see."
Feeling that the water level seemed to have risen a bit, Somo couldn't help but smile.
The appearance of the Hope, which has been upgraded to the semi-god level, has indeed undergone earth-shaking changes.
Not only did the length increase from the initial eighty meters to three hundred meters in one fell swoop, but the material of the ship's shell also changed, turning into a light cyan armor that Somo had never seen before.
It's very magical, a thin mist of water lingers on the armor, covering the entire ship in the blink of an eye.
It was as if fog had suddenly arisen in a deep valley. Even from a distance of several hundred meters, it was still difficult for Somo to see what was hidden inside through this mist.
