Chapter 1189: Wanjing Changes Again, Continuous Fighting!
It turns out that Fan Fuzheng's shock is not unique.
Since the warning wall was upgraded to a spectacle, almost all the newcomers who have come recently behaved like him.
The only difference is that Fan Fuzheng has glimpsed some of the core of the warning wall, while others are simply shocked by the momentum of this high wall.
Tianyuan Dungeon, Administrator's Office.
"Master, I received the news that the number one target Fan Fuzheng has entered the territory."
The moment the convoy entered the warning wall, Zero had already received the relevant information.
"Oh? So fast?"
Su Mo raised his head slightly, closed the game panel, and looked at the picture projected by Zero on the wall.
The parking area behind the warning wall.
Fan Fuzheng and his family have already walked down from the command vehicle under the guidance of the staff.
At first, they were still a little confused and panicked.
But seeing the increasingly prosperous outpost not far away, it seemed as if they had returned to a prosperous town on Earth. The performance of the four people was basically the same as that of the usual newcomers.
It turns out that civilization does not only exist in the fantasy of nothingness.
At first, I thought it was ordinary, but I didn't know how to cherish it.
Now, returning to this familiar everything, it is not only a shock, a kind of touching, not only tears in my eyes, but also a tremor from the heart!
"What about the others, is there any news?"
"At present, No. 2 Liu Shi and No. 4 Sima Yao have been found. The others are distributing information to the Nanjiao Shelter and going out to search."
"That's good, let them pay attention."
Su Mo casually mentioned it, and didn't take it too seriously.
The situation now is indeed very different from the past.
Since the status of the alliance has been rising, and several rounds of high-pressure requirements have been issued.
Most of the threats in Qinggang City have been eliminated, leaving only a few radioactive beasts still living in the dark.
Compared with the dangers in the wilderness, the threats that can be counted in the city are indeed few and far between.
And as long as we wait until the end of winter, the alliance will send troops to sweep these dark areas in the city again.
It is only a matter of time to turn the entire Qinggang City into a treasure land that can be explored.
After noon.
Stimulated by the half-year trading rights, the shelters in the southern suburbs have fallen into madness.
Nothing unexpected happened. With a large number of guards dispatched, the other three were all found.
It is worth mentioning that one unlucky guy was actually put in the Qinggang Shelter.
But perhaps because the alliance recently acquiesced to the transaction between the Qinggang Shelter, Tang En, as the manager, did not make it too difficult and released the person very readily.
He also took the opportunity to send someone to tell the alliance that he wanted to further deepen the cooperative relationship with the alliance.
"This old guy Tang En probably saw the changes caused by our development of the western suburbs, and wanted to use the excuse to restart the previous urban reconstruction plan."
"But compared with before, now they finally recognize their position."
Holding the plan sent by the other party, Qiao Yuansheng shook his head and analyzed.
When the Qinggang Shelter held the first reconstruction meeting before, it was arrogant and arrogant.
Not only did the plan not mention what benefits the rebuilt Qinggang City would bring to all participants.
They even had to use force to force everyone to work for free without any conditions.
Now after this series of changes.
No matter how arrogant Tang En was, he had completely recognized the difference between Blue Star and the wasteland.
Cooperation is beneficial to both sides, but fighting is detrimental to both sides.
There is really no benefit in the small city that can make people continue to fight and rob. They must cooperate to cope with the more bizarre and changeable situation in the future.
"Let's put it aside for now. What's the point of rebuilding in winter?"
"If you want to talk about cooperation, you have to wait until spring comes."
Su Mo simply flipped through the plan and expressed that he was not very interested, and even a little bored.
Although this plan has more details of cooperation than before, as well as the division of territories among major forces after the reconstruction is completed.
But it is still the same problem as before. It does not make it clear where the cost of reconstruction comes from.
Laborers need money to eat, materials for reconstruction need money, and engineering facilities need money.
This money can be resources or anything valuable.
Sunny Harbor Shelter does not want to take money, but only thinks about how to divide the benefits after the reconstruction is completed.
If the alliance must pay, why not spend it on the city? Wouldn't it be better to spend it on the construction of Tianyuan Territory?
"Well, it's really hard to build infrastructure in winter now. The only piece of land in the western suburbs was built by the stubborn donkey Liehu. The people of Qinggang must know that we won't agree. This plan is probably just Tang En trying to test our attitude." Qiao Yuansheng knew it clearly in his heart, but he still said with envy:
"But then again, compared to building a city ourselves, if we can occupy Qinggang City, we can save at least 70% of resources!"
A huge city with a population of tens of millions is just the tip of the iceberg on the ground.
Compared with the high-rise buildings on the ground, Qinggang City is more concerned about underground facilities.
Although hundreds of years have passed, most of the facilities are about to reach the end of their service life.
But if they can be maintained in time, it is not a problem to persist for hundreds of years.
And if Tianyuan Territory wants to build a city of such a scale and want to create underground facilities of similar scale.
It will be clear when you look at the Tianyuan Territory in the future ruins.
After almost plundering the wealth of the entire New World with energy stone technology, four cities of decent size were finally built.
And even the largest Hope City is only the size of the western suburbs of Qinggang City.
However.
"Ha, you can only think about it. The mess underground cannot be fixed in a day or two."
Su Mo shook his head. Although he was also eager in his heart, he also knew that the possibility of success was very small.
Sometimes, repairing is not necessarily easier than repairing a new one.
This can be seen from the fact that when buying electronic products online, merchants would rather replace them than repair them.
Resource and human cost is only one of them, and more is the difficulty problem.
At least with the aging degree of Qinggang City's underground facilities, it is difficult to rely on manpower to repair the underground drainage facilities and some engineering facilities in the short term.
In Su Mo's conception, the best situation is to further expand the territory until the city is covered.
Then use the territory points and survival points to help from the side to reduce the difficulty.
In this way, there is only the possibility of slow repair.
"Hehe, Lord, don't worry. We have to plan everything in advance."
"I'll take care of the reconstruction. We have to get a lot of money from Qinggang."
Qiao Yuansheng was not discouraged. Instead, he looked more expectant.
The two talked about the future development of the territory and the arrangements of Fan Fuzheng and others.
After a while, Li Hu came in.
As the head of the security department with 2,000 guards under his command, Lao Li's face was a little ugly at this time. As soon as he opened his mouth, the relaxed and happy atmosphere just disappeared.
"Lord, there was an accident in the contestants."
"Four people were seriously injured in the Wanjing Arena and have been rushed to the hospital for treatment."
"Oh? What happened?"
Su Mo's expression became serious when he heard this.
Compared to yesterday, there was no additional change in the description of the rules today, except that the number of games required for promotion was increased from 3 to 5.
When the elimination round started in the morning, he went in a few times to try to get more people.
But the result was frustrating. Not many spectators were willing to pay for the route competition between ordinary people in the elimination round on the third day.
Every spectator could not even gather enough judges from the audience, so he could only sit in the audience and watch the two people in the arena compete.
Sometimes, when the gap between the two sides was large, there would be occasional direct surrender.
It was a pure waste of points!
In this way, Su Mo gave up the attempt to continue entering and turned to wait until the afternoon to enter and win five games.
But now, is there an accident in the arena?
"In the morning route competition, players can exit after one game and enter again after a break."
"But just now, a player somehow triggered the rule change. Now the competition rules have changed. Participants need to complete five games in a row or be eliminated in the middle to end."
"Five games in a row?"
Su Mo was surprised and immediately understood the difficulty.
There were a total of 6,800 people participating in the battle of Wanjing in the territory this time. The number may not be large.
But in terms of elite level, it can be guaranteed.
Especially compared to the survivors who are still running around in the new world, the old people in the territory are not only healthier, but also have richer knowledge under the corresponding training system.
If you just go in for a one-on-one fight and have enough rest time, you can be said to have a natural advantage.
But now that the rules have changed, the advantage will disappear immediately.
The energy consumed in a fight cannot be recovered, and the second round of competition will start immediately.
With continuous concentration, the energy will be consumed faster, and by the third and fourth rounds, the state will definitely get worse and worse.
If the game is manipulated in this process.
For example, a contestant who won the fourth round and was only one round away from winning is matched with a contestant who just entered the first round in the arena.
One consumes a lot of energy, while the other is full of energy.
Although this may be fairer in terms of the rules of the game, it ensures the balance between ordinary survivors facing the residents of large territories, and balances the physical disadvantages of humans in front of alien races.
But for the Tianyuan territory, it is definitely not good news.
"Five rounds in a row are no problem. How did they get hurt?"
"The aliens took advantage of them again!"
Li Hu's voice was solemn and murderous.
"When you participated in the competition the day before yesterday, the minotaur openly fought in the arena. When we were driven back by the game, we should have realized that fighting is not prohibited in the arena, and there are such loopholes to take advantage of."
"But I didn't expect the game to be so shameless!"
"If the player chooses to surrender after being defeated in the arena, there will be a 30-second waiting time."
"Our people were ambushed by the aliens when they surrendered, and were forced out before they died."
"Can you still fight after surrendering?"
Qiao Yuansheng's face suddenly changed, and it looked a little ugly.
Although he did not participate in the Wanjing Battle, he also knew the rules of the arena from others.
On the first and second days of the elimination rounds, as long as you choose to surrender, you will be teleported out immediately.
Why did the game secretly change the rules on the third day?
"In short, the game has no intention of repairing or changing it for the time being. It seems that it defaults to the fact that one party can use force to resolve the grievances after surrendering."
"I guess this is probably to take care of those aliens who have drawn the skill category, so that when they are 100% sure that they can't win this game, they will choose to surrender and clear the rules to retaliate against us humans!"
"I have notified everyone to pay attention or stop participating."
"Well done."
Su Mo's eyelids jumped, and he felt something was wrong.
Fortunately, Li Hu was always paying attention to the situation in the arena. In order to prevent accidents, the contestants in the territory must enter in order according to the time arrangement list, so that problems can be solved as soon as they arise.
Otherwise, if most people enter ignorantly, I am afraid that more than a few people will be seriously injured.
It is likely to be dozens or even hundreds!
"Lord, if you enter later, you must be careful, just in case you encounter aliens."
Li Hu didn't finish his words, but his meaning was self-evident.
If on the first day of the competition, there were still some scattered aliens who came later and didn't know Su Mo, the number one enemy of the aliens.
Then today, the aliens who are still qualified to participate in the elimination round will definitely not be unfamiliar.
Once you feel that you will definitely lose, it is inevitable that there will be a possibility of a sudden attack like the Minotaur in the arena.
In the absence of weapons and guns.
If you encounter a barbarian melee alien race like the Minotaur, it is not a problem to hide and hold on for 30 seconds.
But if you encounter a special alien race, such as the Treeman Clan and the Transformed Man of the Empire of Light, which have explosive direct combat power.
Those 30 seconds may be unusually long.
Although there is a last-minute teleportation to save your life, being seriously injured and dying is definitely not the result that everyone wants to see.
"I understand."
Li Hu, Qiao Yuansheng, and some players who know the changes in the rules are not unreasonable to be nervous about him as a lord at this time.
As a symbol of humanity's cutting-edge combat power, and as an existence that can repeatedly kill gods and leave legends.
If you are defeated by alien races in the arena, it will be a great dampening of the enthusiasm of the entire human group.
Su Mo nodded slowly, thinking about how to deal with it next.
Giving up is definitely not a given.
Although the rewards for the first Wanjing Battle were ordinary, the following battles were the only way to get in touch with the boundary stone.
If you can't get a lot of information in advance and gain an advantage, it will be more difficult to start the team battle next time.
"You can't bring weapons, not even a white wax stick, which is too much of an advantage for the aliens."
Su Mo muttered in his heart.
But soon, he suddenly thought of something very important.
"After five consecutive competitions, does the game change the arena and clear the materials needed by the players in the previous round?"
