May 12th, Year 9 of the Wasteland Calendar, is an important day destined to go down in history.
It is dominated by the Dragon Banner territory in the Human Alliance, supplemented by the Northland and the Golden Eagle in name only.
This evacuation plan called "Fire" inevitably caused a huge sensation in the wasteland.
For the more than 60 million survivors in the New World.
Twenty thousand people are only one thirty thousandth of this huge number.
Out of every 30,000 people, only one person from the Dragon Banner Territory will be selected to follow the gods and leave the wasteland that is about to be invaded.
As for the remaining 29,999 people, they will all become fuel for the Tinders when they leave.
There is no doubt that this is indeed an extremely cruel number, and it is also a fact that all survivors cannot accept.
They lamented the fate of mankind and cursed the stupidity and cowardice of those in power.
They were unwilling to flood the world channel, and almost all of them were describing what their abilities would bring to the future human community after becoming fire.
From noon to afternoon, from afternoon to evening.
Even on a cold night with snow and wind.
More and more people began to join in, praying that their speeches would stand out from the crowd and be selected in advance into a team of 20,000 people.
But it is a pity that since the news was announced, there has been no news from the three major territorial alliances.
Including the live broadcast of the Longqi territory on the Disaster Channel, it was also dark.
Everything seems to have to wait until the twelve o'clock noon announced by Long Anguo before the answer will be revealed.
Faced with this situation, a small number of people chose to remain silent, holding on to the desire that they would be chosen tomorrow and the fear of the end of mankind.
But it is destined to be a sleepless night, and they will wait for the moment of judgment to quietly approach in countless complicated emotions.
At the same time, more people who are not willing to let their fate be determined by luck have come forward.
The probability of one in 30,000 is really too ridiculous.
Some people began to choose to express their long-suppressed anger and doubts one by one.
Some people began to loudly ask the Human Alliance why it enforced identity rules in the wasteland and forcibly divided humans into three, six, and nine grades for treatment.
Some people question whether the upcoming quota selection is also a secret operation like the identity system.
What's more, they even linked Su Shen's disappearance to the three major territories, and wondered whether these people had harmed Su Shen.
Amidst countless curses, Long Anguo still did not appear.
Just like losing the sun and moon, the dawn will never come.
The sky in the wasteland is dark, and people's hearts are beginning to gradually move towards darkness.
Four o'clock in the morning, Tianji City.
The originally deserted city covered with snow suddenly burst into flames everywhere.
Countless refugees shouting different slogans emerged from cold shelter holes in all directions, armed with various weapons, and attacked the remaining public buildings in the city.
"Come on, rob these thieves of their supplies, and let them experience what it feels like to be hungry every day and finally abandoned!"
"You have lied to us for so long, and now you want to continue to lie to us. How can you think so beautifully!"
"Long Banner territory liar, three major alliance liars, everyone is a liar!"
"Twenty thousand people, twenty thousand people are not enough to house the families of you thieves, and they still want to continue to deceive us."
"If you don't make the list public, there is a shady secret. It doesn't matter if we all die together, but I will never let you live."
"We must die together, and we must live together, otherwise I won't be able to leave even if I live!"
"."
The slogans were messy, and it can be roughly analyzed that the riot was not the result of someone with ulterior motives from within.
But precisely because of this, the difficulty of quelling the unrest has increased exponentially.
In fact, these new citizens who have joined Tianji City do not lack supplies.
Even the cold-resistant materials, which were relatively scarce in the past two days, were distributed one by one through rapid allocation.
And this can be seen from how orderly the city was before the news was announced during the day.
"Didn't we already agree during the day? These people are willing to wait until the quota selection is completed tomorrow."
"Why did the chaos start again at night? What do they want?!"
In the dim light of the office building in the center of Tianji City, Feng Tianmin looked anxiously at the few people rushing in.
Unlike other cities in Tianyuan Territory, Tianji City is almost entirely populated by foreigners.
These people did not believe in the territory, nor in him as the commander of the feudal army, nor in the so-called promises.
During the riot during the day, the entire Tianyuan Army spent a lot of effort to persuade everyone to go back.
Unexpectedly, it was almost dawn at night.
This suppressed turmoil is brewing and breaking out uncontrollably!
"They want to follow those two gods, or..."
"No one can leave!" The man in military uniform who rushed in to report quickly lowered his head and said.
"Commander, the current public opinion environment is completely different from that during the day. These people don't know why, but they actually suspect that we are only temporarily appeasing them. When the evacuation is ready, those of us in high positions will leave, and they will be the only ones left.
These miserable survivors stay in the wasteland and wait for the arrival of the five ancestor gods."
"Now they are clamoring to see the lord, Mayor Chen Shen, County Magistrate Su Youzong, and you, Commander Fenglong."
"They are still on duty elsewhere, so they will definitely not be able to come." Feng Tianmin shook his head and stood up, turning to look around the scene in the office building.
Wherever he looked, even the soldiers who were sticking to their posts looked distracted, and they suddenly felt that the situation was getting worse.
Writing a bad check during the day can temporarily stabilize the situation.
But when these people find out that this check is really useless, the situation will escalate exponentially.
Now even our own people are afraid of the coming doomsday. In such a state, what can we do to reassure ordinary people outside?
"Then what should we do, directly suppress them violently?" One person said in surprise: "Fortunately, we confiscated everyone's firepower weapons in advance. Now they only have small ones, so it's not a big problem."
"No, since they have joined our Tianyuan territory, they are our own people," Feng Tianmin replied.
"But there is no need for violence. These people will no longer believe our words. There are millions of people in Tianji City now. If these people who rush out encourage the remaining people to start unrest, we will definitely face the situation now.
"Several times more difficult"
A new commander who joined the Tianyuan Territory spoke in detail.
"Before we joined our territory, anyone who dared to jump out and riot in our Lingzhi Mountain would be killed on the spot as a warning to others. There were not many people who dared to come out and act riot."
"That's your Lingzhi Mountain, not the Tianyuan territory. Besides, haven't we already taken back the supplies? Since they want to smash it, let them smash it." Feng Tianmin couldn't think of a way, so he simply planned to smash it.
.
"It's freezing outside, dozens of degrees below zero. I don't believe these people are so capable and can overturn Tianji City."
"Yes, that's it!"
In such weather, except for that weirdo Su Youzong, none of them who had been injected with Poseidon cells could survive for half an hour without being warmed up.
How long would an ordinary person be able to hold on?
"Send a group of people out with a loudspeaker to tell them that the current situation of mankind is like this. Our Tianyuan Territory once severely offended the five ancestor gods. Our old lord Su Shen even defeated the five ancestor gods once. This time the five ancestor gods were defeated.
When the ancestor god comes, no one in the territory can escape."
"Don't they want to live? OK, let them go to other territories, so that when the five great ancestor gods come, they can kneel down and beg for mercy, and maybe they can survive for a while."
"Commander, is it okay to just destroy it like this?" The man who spoke first was a little stunned.
"You have to give it a try, otherwise you can go out and calm the turmoil for me now." Feng Tianmin's eyes widened and he continued to urge.
But right now.
Boom!
Suddenly there was a loud noise in the sky.
It was originally snowing lightly outside, but the snow suddenly increased in intensity, covering the entire world almost in the blink of an eye.
Everyone in the conference room "here" moved their eyes and looked in the direction of the loud noise.
High in the sky, there were five patterns emitting strange blood-red light, slowly floating up and down in the clouds.
Even if heavy snow covers the view, these patterns are clearly visible, as if they penetrate the snowflakes.
"This is the symbol of the five royal families!" Someone recognized it and said softly.
"The environment continues to deteriorate. It seems that the five ancestor gods are coming soon. Should we continue?"
"Continue." Feng Tianmin said calmly: "Rather than giving these people hope, it is better to make them completely despair."
He stood up and looked around.
"Within six hours from now, you just need to let everyone know that no one can leave here!"
"What a bullshit god, what kind of evacuation plan, no one from our Tianyuan Territory management will participate!"
"They don't want to run away for me. Even if they die, they must stay with me!"
The same scene as in Skyrim City happened in every corner of the wasteland where survivors gathered.
Either in an underground shelter or in a temporary camp.
Even the Academy of Sciences, which can be called a retreat from the world, is no exception.
It was already late at night, and there was still no trace of sleep in the courtyard. Most of the room lights were on, and there were noisy discussions.
Although compared to the survivors outside, the researchers here are mostly noisy about the ways and means to deal with the five ancestors.
But there is no doubt that the manic heart has covered all areas.
As this avalanche disaster approaches, no one can stay out.
Even Su Mo himself couldn't help but sit in the vice-dean's office with his eyes wide open this evening.
Of course, the difference is that people outside are panicking about the upcoming five ancestor gods.
But he was panicking about something else.
"Suma, long time no see. This should be the second time we meet since you forced the five ancestors back last time."
Opposite the desk, a man with a faint golden light coming out of his body smiled.
His face is handsome, his skin is perfect, and his facial features are as sharp as if they were carved with a carving knife.
But the strange thing is that such edges and corners do not make his whole person look sharp, but instead have an indescribable softness.
"Game..No, Mr. Adam, is this your true face?"
"Real?" Adam touched the table gently, and two elegant ceramic cups appeared.
He didn't see any movement. Suddenly, steam steamed out of the empty cup, and traces of black liquid began to emerge from the bottom of the cup.
Somo smelled it, it was the aroma of coffee, very strong!
"As long as you think it's true, it's true. Just like you, don't you also wear a different face now?"
Adam picked up the porcelain cup, gently put it to his mouth, blew on it, and took a satisfied sip.
Gulu.
He swallowed a sip of coffee.
Suddenly, a huge feeling of suffocation came from all directions.
The entire office began to expand outwards uncontrollably. In the blink of an eye, it expanded hundreds of times. It was so wide that people were frightened.
But the next moment, the entire space began to shrink rapidly again, and it would not stop until the people inside were completely crushed into meat pies.
"To be honest, since you passed the test last time, I planned to completely change my previous ideas and give you a bigger stage to see what you can do."
"But I didn't expect that you are still so capable of causing trouble that you are restless even here." Adam drank the coffee in sips, his voice becoming more and more depressed.
"I" At this time, Somo's face had begun to turn purple, his whole body was shaking, and even his hand under the table began to twitch.
At this moment, he finally began to believe what Lance had said before.
The core of the world, before the rules are completely lost and destroyed, is almost invincible within the scope of control.
In the previous confrontations, Adam probably had no idea of going beyond the rules, which allowed him to get through.
Now when the pressure comes, this feeling of helplessness even the system falls into silence.
It is obvious that the game has completely put aside all the chores and focused its attention on it.
Even if there was even the slightest sign of something strange at this time, he would probably break the rules without hesitation and take action.
"Do you think everything you do is hidden? Do you think I don't know that you carry the power of my rules?" Adam put down the coffee cup, and there was no trace of emotion in his voice.
"Although I don't know what means you used to isolate the game from detection, but at this time, I want to make a deal with you."
"A deal that will keep you alive."
call.
As soon as the words fell, the pressure dissipated like a tide, as if it was just an illusion.
But when he glanced at the mirror in the corner of the table, he saw that his face was still purple.
But Sumo knew that just now, he almost walked away from the door of hell.
Adam had actually noticed him a long time ago and knew about matters related to permissions.
It is estimated that if it were not for the existence of the system, this Adam would be a little afraid.
I'm afraid that the five great ancestral gods alone are not enough to make him compromise like this and still have to make a deal.
"Deal, is there still room for discussion between us?" Sumo's face gradually turned pale, and he said after his breath stabilized.
"Oh, you are indeed as greedy as before."
"But stupid, at this point, the little thing in your pocket should tell you what I will trade with you, right?" Adam twitched his fingers slightly, and the statue of Lance flew out from the sandwich on his chest.
With a gentle click, the jade statue instantly exploded into powder and floated in the room. Lance, who was living inside, didn't even have time to scream.
He clicked it gently again, and the powder quickly aggregated again, returning to the appearance of a god. The method was extremely terrifying.
In the hands of the world core of the super world, even if it is only a broken super world, Lance, the god of the small world, has no ability to resist at all, and can only be allowed to be rounded and flattened by Adam.
"Lord Adam, please spare your life. I am just a little god who wants to destroy the world. Just take it for granted."
Lance's anxious and frightened voice just came from the statue.
Before he could finish speaking, he was lightly thrown by Adam and flew to the corner of the room without making a sound.
"Do you remember the last question I asked you last time?"
"Finally?" Seeing Lance's miserable state, Sumo felt relieved and understood that Yugi's murderous intention may have really dissipated.
After a moment of recollection, he said softly: "You ask me if I know your purpose?"
"Now, do you have the answer?"
"No." Sumo shook his head honestly.
"No? You have secretly stolen so much of my power, and you still say you don't have it?!" Adam Huo Dao said.
"No, I really don't know."
Before I know whether the game is a test or whether I really want to trade.
Sumo shook his head again, not daring to make any breakthrough remarks.
"Do you think that these alien races were caused by me, or that I controlled these disasters, and that I led you from the earth to play this so-called survival game?"
Adam tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, raised his hand and waved, the golden light wrapping outside the room became stronger and stronger.
"Huh? Aren't you a game?" This time, it was Sumo's turn to be stunned.
Disaster, alien race, listen to what Adam said.
Isn’t it the handiwork of the game?
Isn't it that he has been summoning these things to come, summoning disasters in turn, and forcing them to obtain permissions?
"I really don't know how a stupid person like you stole my power." Adam became more and more angry as he thought about it. He grabbed the Lance statue in the corner and smashed it into several pieces, and then said angrily:
"As the core of the world, how could I tolerate so many ants destroying my body and robbing me of my power of rules? If I want to kill you, all I need to do is have a thought, and it's enough. I don't have to use such troublesome means.
"
"The game is a game, I am me, Adam is the core of this world, and the game is an outsider like you!"
"Only by completing the tasks assigned by it can I regain my freedom, restore the missing parts, and return to the ranks of the super world. Only in this way can I get you damn outsiders out of my territory completely!"
"And you, like me, must complete the tasks it constantly issues in order to survive, to return to your shitty Earth, or to build a so-called new home on my territory."
