Chapter 1160 The Population Surges, and Thousands of Roads Are in Conflict!

Time flies, time still flies, days and months still fly by.

Sometimes time seems to pass very slowly, but when it really passes, you will find that it is surprisingly fast.

Before you know it, a month has passed since the first batch of survivors were rescued.

It is April, which is about the end of the year according to the Earth calendar.

However, I don’t know if it is because all Earth players have become accustomed to the wasteland. Now even the world channel can hardly see any discussion related to it. Some of the sporadic ones are quickly discussed and brushed off. Not many people care at all.

However, for most survivors.

Indeed.

In the continuous fatigue and busyness, in the endless labor and migration day after day, and in the difficulties and obstacles again and again.

It is no longer within the ability of normal people to take the time to remember life on Earth.

As the saying goes, it is better to be a dog in peace than to be a person in chaos.

After nearly a year and a half, a large migration involving more than 2 billion people has been experienced.

In the big and small corners of the New World, the lives of the survivors have officially become different.

The northeast coast of the New World, the giant tree root sea.

Although with the complete destruction of the three major gangs, tens of thousands of gang members were tried and disbanded, the living environment around the sea is no longer as bad as before.

But because of the arrival of the migration tide, the number of people has inevitably decreased.

In the past two months, it has dropped from 800,000 at its peak to less than 300,000.

"Brother Bao, how many people have you caught today? Look how busy you are!"

Sitting in the security team station that has already taken shape, seeing Bao Lei walking back with a dark face, Zhang Long hurriedly stood up and laughed heartily to greet him.

Since ancient times, any place with a high frequency of population mobility cannot escape the fate of chaotic public security.

Now the big and small post stations on the coast of the New World are naturally no exception.

Many survivors wanted to take advantage of the familiarity of the terrain before leaving and replenish supplies from the friendly "neighbors". Even though the security team had strengthened patrols several times, they were unable to solve the problem from the root.

And as the situation worsened, the friendly "neighbors" also showed their true colors.

Many people were fishing, pretending to be weak, waiting for these impulsive people to come and give their heads.

Anyway, it was "reasonable self-defense", and the security team could do nothing.

So once a fight broke out, Bao Lei's way of dealing with it was very simple, and all the survivors were arrested.

"Lao Zhang?"

Seeing Zhang Long, Bao Lei's face eased a little, but he still couldn't hide his bad mood today.

Now the water prison of the security team has been expanded again and again, and an additional rectification labor camp has been added outside, which is enough to accommodate 2,000 people.

But even so, the vacancies in the cells are still decreasing.

If the dozens of people arrested last night were thrown in, I'm afraid it would be close to full again.

"You know, spring is coming, and those guys are getting more and more impatient."

"That's right."

Zhang Long stood up, and the two shook hands and sighed at the same time.

In winter, due to weather reasons, they dared not rashly set off to the interior of the New World to look for opportunities.

But if they don't leave when spring is approaching, they will miss the next spring planting.

Most survivors have only accumulated food and supplies in the deep sea for half a year. If there is no replenishment of the next batch of supplies, they will probably return to the embarrassing situation when they just crossed the wasteland a year ago.

"I came here today almost for this matter. I have stayed in the giant tree root sea area for so long, and it is almost time for us to set off."

"Why, why do you want to leave suddenly?"

Bao Lei was slightly surprised.

Before Chen Shen came, there was still a layer between the security team and the tundra fleet, and they only dared to test each other.

So when Chen Shen came to secretly talk to Lu Yongyi, the gap between the two parties suddenly disappeared.

Especially after confirming that the Tianyuan Territory and the human Su Shen that he was looking for were behind the security team.

As the captain, Lu Yongyi could only sigh that fate was playing tricks on him.

It was as if there was an invisible bond, and fate always connected the Tundra and Tianyuan.

"It's not sudden. Since we broke up with those old guys, we have been preparing for a long time."

Zhang Long responded with a smile.

The conflicts between the major factions of the Tundra Fleet had already been like fire and water on the sea.

Now that they have come to the New World, the situation is getting worse day by day, and people are clamoring to split up every day.

And Lu Yongyi did not kindly tell those guys about the connection between the security team and the Tianyuan Territory.

Naturally, the split is the most normal thing.

"Are you going to go directly to the territory?"

"I have this idea, but we have to see what the next disaster is."

Chatting and laughing all the way, the two came to the restaurant of the station and sat down.

The sharp-eyed kitchen helper quickly took out the food that had been prepared long ago from the cupboard and set half of the table.

It was lunchtime, so Zhang Long didn't refuse and simply sat down to eat together.

In a sense, the two sides were now as close as a family, so the previous unfamiliarity was unnecessary.

"This is the first Ten Thousand Paths Battle. How many people in your Tundra want to participate?"

Bao Lei took a few bites of rice and suddenly raised his head and asked.

Zhang Long was stunned for a moment, and then nodded honestly: "More than 90% of the time, the disaster was postponed because of the conflict. Naturally, we have to send people in to have a look, but there is a high probability that they will just accompany you for one round. After all, It’s too difficult to reach the top without route support.”

"Actually, it's not much better with route support. Fighting is not a fair competition."

Bao Lei burped and showed a somewhat envious look:

"Having said that, those rewards are really coveted. If ordinary people can get them, they will definitely become famous."

"It's not just a blockbuster, it's something that attracts everyone's attention."

"The top epic routes, even if the major territories are defeated, they will definitely not give up on those who finally get the rewards."

The two sighed to each other, and it would be a lie to say that they had not imagined that they would get the final reward.

Since fourteen days ago, the game announced the first round of ‘Ten Thousand Paths Struggle’, delaying the arrival of the next round of disaster.

Similar discussions have continued throughout the New World.

As the highlight of version 0, no one thought that this battle would come so fast, so that about 70% of the survivors have not yet joined the territory and have route blessings.

However, those with route support do not have much advantage, as Bao Lei lamented.

A fight over ten thousand paths is not a fair duel.

As the first round of trial battles, participants will compete in a '1v1' format from the moment they enter to the elimination of the main match. Only after 99% of the participants have been eliminated will they enter the '1vN' competition format.

During this period, the two people fighting may be a 'chef apprentice' and the other a 'construction apprentice'.

The competition may not be about who can cook or build a house, but a randomly selected topic.

It may be to make a handicraft that meets the requirements within a limited time.

It may also be that you are surrounded by enemies, fight all the way, and finally break out of the siege.

Since this is a trial experience, death in the first Ten Thousand Paths Battle is not a real death. The game will directly remove survivors when it is determined that their lives are in danger, or directly trigger leaving when survivors themselves apply.

Of course, you may suffer some injuries in the process, but compared with the rewards you may receive.

Injury is already the smallest price to pay for Xiao Bo Da Zhong.

In this battle, as long as you can win the next round, you will directly receive the participation award.

Improve the level of one route.

Survivors who don’t have a route don’t have to worry, the game will automatically save the opportunity and trigger it after getting the route.

Starting from the second round, victory points will be accumulated for each victory.

Points can be used to purchase various items in Wanjing Mall.

Or it can be buff effects that can be applied in battles, or survival materials that can be brought out to the real wasteland.

There are many kinds, no fewer than thousands of them.

The most outrageous reward is even the "finished territory". After using it, you can directly obtain a building complex that can be placed on the spot, which contains a series of buildings for living, production, and training.

The level of roughness is simply more game than game

At the same time, those who can enter the top 1,000 in the rankings will also receive corresponding ranking rewards.

Either route experience or route ability.

Starting from the top ten, you will also get extremely rare special routes.

The higher the ranking, the higher the rarity of the route, which can reach the epic level.

"Hey, let's not think too much about this epic route. We can rank among the top ten among billions of people."

"You have to be proficient in everything and omnipotent in everything."

Zhang Long smacked his lips and quietly wrote the word "Su" on the table with his fingers.

In his opinion, the biggest reward had already been booked by Sumo in advance, and the others were just competing for the rest.

"Ahem, don't open the champagne in advance. There are aliens involved in this fight."

Bao Lei is calm and not blindly optimistic.

Being able to use modern weapons and being able to use bare hands are two different things.

Entering the Ten Thousand Paths Battle Arena, humans are not allowed to carry anything except props purchased in the mall and those provided during the competition.

If this encounters a strong foreign race, it will be difficult to win in a link that requires physical fitness.

At the same time, if they can break into the later stages of the elimination round, the alien races are likely to stick together.

At that time, human beings' disadvantages will undoubtedly be more obvious.

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. The knockout round will start in three days."

"It's good to be able to delay the next disaster. At least it leaves enough time for humans to sow seeds in the spring."

"That's right" Bao Lei stopped his chopsticks.

"The human resources around the station are too abundant. We plan to open some plantations near the giant tree root sea area and build a few new factories. Are you interested in participating in Tundra?"

"Plantation?"

Tianyuan territory, Tianyuan underground city.

Listening to Dean Qiao's report on the recent development plans of the Giant Tree Root Sea Area, Sumo nodded slightly and thought to himself.

It is definitely unrealistic to expect to transport food directly from the territory to the giant tree root sea across thousands of kilometers.

If you want to achieve self-sufficient development, you must follow the practices of the territories around the sea, starting with farming.

It's just that it's easy to plant, but it's difficult to harvest completely during the autumn harvest.

The surrounding environment of the giant tree root sea area is complex, which is definitely a challenging task.

"Let them do it boldly. They can't just fish close to the sea to make a living."

"Understood." Qiao Yuansheng raised his hand and ticked the back of the plan, then turned the page to continue reporting.

"Affected by the first Wanjing conflict, although the disaster has been postponed until the end of the conflict, most survivors have stopped migrating and started preparing for the next elimination match."

"According to the data collected and integrated by the Information Department, this Wanjing conflict is expected to affect our search and rescue progress for survivors in the next two months."

"Two months?" Su Mo frowned: "How many people have we gathered now?"

"The latest number is 24,655. Including our original people, there are now 38,553 people in the territory."

A number that sounds a bit exaggerated, more than the previous old residents combined.

However, at the height of the great migration, it still seems a bit thin.

After all, according to the previous conservative estimate, the number of people in the territory should reach about 60,000 before the end of this winter.

Under optimistic estimates, the number should reach 70,000, or even 80,000.

But unfortunately, affected by the first "Wanjing Battle", the migrants stopped.

It is foreseeable that by the beginning of spring, the maximum number of people will be 50,000, which is the limit.

"More than 30,000, less than 40,000"

Su Mo nodded slightly, without much disappointment in his heart.

The addition of new people is a double-edged sword. Too many influxes in a short period of time can easily cause chaos.

The current speed is just right. Every wave of new people brought back by the search and rescue team can go through a complete training process.

If the number of people is larger, it is inevitable that this process will be shortened, or there will be inadequate care.

"During this period before the end of the Wanjing Battle, we just have time to integrate the more than 20,000 new people into the old group. When there are more new people coming, we will be able to deal with them even if there are more people."

"Lord, you don't have to worry about this. It's just more than 20,000 people. It won't make any waves at all."

It's easy to leave professional things to professionals.

Before he could study in the future ruins and manage thousands of people, Su Mo often felt exhausted and felt that he could not take care of everything.

But now, although the number of people has increased several times compared to that time, there is almost no pressure.

Qiao Yuansheng supervises the people's livelihood, and various orderly policies are introduced one after another, pushing the territory forward.

Marshal Wang promotes the industry, and can observe the difficulties of major factories in time to make resource allocations, and the development speed is very fast.

Li Hu is fully responsible for public security. The guard team that has expanded to thousands is now armed to the teeth, and the internal environment of the territory is several times better than that on Earth.

The military is led by Feng Tianmin. Recently, many retired veterans and some new recruits who want to join the army have been recruited from the newcomers. They can often be seen training in the territory.

In addition, there are Shen Ke who manages materials, Chen Kai who handles the business environment, Pei Shao who is responsible for intelligence, and Qi Qin who promotes cooperation.

The entire Tianyuan territory is full of talents, at least before reaching the level of the Tianyuan territory in the future ruins.

Su Mo is not worried at all that he will encounter any difficulties in the development that he needs to solve himself.

If there is any, it can only be the next

Ten Paths Fighting!
