Chapter 1213: Factional Differences, Storm Is Coming!

Qigator!

Flying sword!

As morning dawns in the New World, more and more survivors wake up from their sleep.

This sudden news immediately caused a long-awaited commotion on the World Channel panel, and the screen refresh rate was as lively as the start of Wasteland.

And in those territories with more than hundreds of thousands of people, it was even more like celebrating the New Year.

Countless people cheered and cheered, as if they had imagined the scene of the sword flying, going up to the sky and down to the earth.

Different from the power given to human beings by technology, such peak individual strength is undoubtedly more attractive.

As long as you master it, you can reach the sky in one step.

Especially for those at the bottom, it is definitely a temptation that cannot be ignored.

Longqi Territory, Longqi County, Parliament Hall.

Snapped.

The electric lights turned on one after another, driving away the darkness and coldness of the early morning sun before it rose.

The half-open door was pushed open from the outside from time to time, and hurried figures walked in, looking for a seat.

By the time Long Anguo entered, basically all the managers, big and small, had arrived.

Unlike the ordinary people outside who cheered and cheered, everyone present frowned and looked at the information in their hands in silence.

"Everyone is here."

Not long after, there was a sound at the door, and the half-open door closed from the outside in.

There were about sixty-five people in the room, including the entire top management of the Long Banner Territory, a territory of eight million people.

"You have all read the news in hand. I am afraid this matter is more of a disaster than a blessing."

Long Anguo frowned, his face full of sorrow: "Let's share your opinions. How should we deal with it?"

After the words fell, the venue was still quiet.

Only the sound of heavy breathing, coughing from time to time, and frequent flipping of pages meant that everyone was not as calm as they appeared.

"Minister Zhang, you speak first."

Looking at Zhang Quan, who was in charge of territorial security affairs, Long Anguo looked solemn.

The rest of the people also raised their heads at this time and looked at Minister Zhang, who was sitting third from the top.

"The chief is right, this matter is indeed a disaster rather than a blessing."

Zhang Quan paused for a moment before raising his head, revealing a pair of sharp eyes.

"If this Qi Master is indeed real, it is indeed a good thing for us humans as a whole. Even if we encounter those powerful alien races, we still have the ability to counterattack with a single target."

"But for the territory as a collective, once such a person appears, it will undoubtedly immediately destroy the collective order, weaken the collective strength and cooperation, and may even trigger internal factional conflicts."

Zhang Quan meant what he said and glanced at the management sitting on the left and right sides.

Some people cast friendly glances in support, some looked solemn and made no comment, and some seemed to want to refute but held back for some reason.

As long as there are collectives, there are factions.

Even a small group of tens of thousands of people like Tundra has split into several factions with different opinions.

Not to mention territories like Dragon Flag, Northern Territory, Golden Eagle, and territories with hundreds of thousands of people.

Right now, while fighting for a goal, factions can still cooperate without affecting the overall situation.

But if there is such a force that clearly breaks away from the original system, there will be many separate factions.

Except for the warring faction, the neutral faction, and the peace faction.

I am afraid that there will also be technology factions, Qi refining factions, magic factions, etc.

Different directions in individuals' pursuit of power will eventually evolve into huge ideological differences.

At that time, the good-looking territory of tens of millions of people will probably collapse quickly, eventually forming chaotic areas that are divided one after another.

"This is the battle of ten thousand paths."

"A battle of ten thousand paths may come true."

After coming to the conclusion, needles could be heard in the conference room, and the expressions of many managers who were different from Zhang Quan's faction suddenly changed.

"Minister Zhang's words are a bit alarmist. The points price for the Qi Refiner's main competition is a full three to fifty thousand points. Calculated based on five hundred points per person, this is the total net worth of seventy people."

Wei Tu, who was in charge of city construction, shook his head slightly and retorted:

"If you buy it at the full price, the price is 315,000, and you will get 630 people."

"There are only over a thousand people entering the Wanjing main competition, and there are many foreigners among them. Worrying about this matter in a short period of time may be unfounded."

In this main competition in the Dragon Flag Territory, only seventy-seven people entered the game.

It would be okay if everyone was together, but in fact most of them are separated by the game.

It is not easy to gather 70 people and create the Qi Refiner route.

"Yes, even Chief Su may not be able to afford these if he makes it to the finals."

"The price is too expensive and we won't be able to afford it in a few years."

"And this legendary route must have strict requirements. According to our Chinese stories, refining qi requires spiritual roots. Ordinary people may not have such spiritual roots."

"Technology has always been the foundation for our foothold in the New World. Pursuing the illusory pursuit of immortality is too nonsense. We haven't even solved the problem of basic supplies."

Wei Tu opened his mouth, and many people agreed.

Excerpting the core idea, most people think that it is unfounded to worry about this fact now.

Besides, if the sky falls, there will be someone tall to hold it up. This matter of individual strength should be left to Sumo and Chief Su to solve.

As the main group of development, Longqi Territory should have a longer-term goal.

More long-term?

Long Anguo glanced coldly at the person who followed the speech, and everyone's heart tightened and they stopped echoing.

"Ruan Bo, you tell me."

He looked at a middle-aged man sitting in the middle.

As a top scientific researcher who had developed biological inhibitors, Ruan Bo naturally became the chief scientist of Longqi Territory, mainly responsible for the restoration of existing technology on Earth and the research of new technology in the wasteland.

But when it comes to this mysterious power, the latter shook his head repeatedly:

"We have not been able to decipher the results of the energy source of the alien race until now. If there is a new power system, the research institute may be powerless."

"And I think the main concern now is not how to control this power in our Longqi Territory."

"But" Looking at Zhang Quan, Ruan Bo looked solemn: "What if other territories have similar power before us?"

Wow.

The scene suddenly became noisy, even a few calm neutrals became agitated.

For ordinary people, the current environment of Longqi Territory is stable, and the development is also stable and improving.

Not only can it attract more and more survivors to join, but it can also unite these people to continue to develop.

But now this has happened.

It is hard to imagine that if a territory suddenly pops up on the world channel and claims that its territory can choose the route of Qi Refiner, or a similar route of individual strength.

Will these survivors who have settled in Longqi be crazy enough to set off immediately?

And at this moment, the door of the conference room suddenly opened from the outside to the inside.

A man with a sullen face walked in, holding a stack of intelligence materials ready to be distributed.

"Chief, there is new intelligence."

"Just say it directly."

"Just seven minutes ago, a lord stood up on the world channel and called himself Gonggong. He claimed that there was a legendary route in his territory, which could enable ordinary people to have the ability of Qi Refiner, flying into the sky and into the sea. Now he wants to recruit people of the same path to accomplish great things together, and gave the specific coordinates of the territory, which is not far from our Longqi territory!"

"What?"

Huh

Standing in front of the studio, Su Mo let out a long breath of turbid air.

The turbid air formed a little light white cloud and blew away with the wind.

The temperature was even lower.

The temperature dropped again at night in the third stage of the Earth Fire Desert, from the initial 25 degrees to about minus 3 degrees.

Although there was a room to shelter from the wind and keep warm, one could still feel a chill from the bottom of one's heart.

In the distance, Qi Jie and his four companions, who had collected a batch of Earth Fire Aloe, walked back while talking and laughing.

In addition to the Earth Fire Reed, there were three new plants in the third stage.

They are: Tumbleweed, Fire Bell, and Earth Fire Aloe

Similar to the side effects of reeds, the three plants also have side effects of varying sizes.

Especially this Earth Fire Aloe, which is likely to cause diarrhea after eating.

But it must be said that this is still good news.

Aloe can be squeezed into juice, which contains a lot of water, minerals, and lignin.

After ingestion, it can effectively replenish the water needed by the human body, as well as monosaccharides and polysaccharides.

In a terrain like the desert, it is enough to be called a treasure.

"Lord, it's late at night. I'll be on guard tonight."

Qi Jie found Su Mo in a daze in front of the door, and after counting the number, he came over and whispered.

"It's okay, you go to rest."

"I'm not sleepy, stand here to wake up and think about some problems."

Su Mo waved his hand, frowning, his eyes still looking up at the sky along the cold moonlight.

The few people didn't see the merchant's sales order, so they naturally didn't know what was shown on it.

Of course, even if they saw it, they probably couldn't guess how terrible the impact of this thing was.

It has to be said.

The appearance of the Qi Refiner route suddenly made Su Mo feel a sense of impending storm.

"Wanjing"

Not to mention the ruins discovered by the Demon Soul Clan before, the shelter of Abe Rijef excavated from it, and the blood of heroes found in the shelter.

In the future ruins, Su Mo himself used the authority for a short time, became a real god, and set foot in the world outside the domain.

He knew very well that this magical power was not illusory, and humans were not absolutely unable to master it.

"I just didn't expect that this day would come so early."

It was about six years in the wasteland in the ruins, and humans began to slowly pursue this supernatural power like the aliens.

Yu Tie was also a product of that period, with strength beyond the understanding of normal people.

So much so that after he possessed the godhood, he became a god.

But now, this time has been advanced by a full four years, and it has been presented to humans in such an intuitive way.

As long as you have a route and meet the conditions, you can have power.

"What is the purpose of the game?"

Su Mo's heart sank slightly, and he asked this question again.

With the continuous excavation of information, he no longer felt that this clumsy survival was just a whim of the game.

Being able to sacrifice a large world to allow a group of ordinary people to participate, there must be hidden secrets that he didn't know.

"Besides, it will take hundreds of years for the universe to be destroyed, which is thousands of years for the big world and hundreds of thousands of years for the small world. Even if it is urgent, there is no need to be so anxious, right?"

Suma, who has infinite energy, has a clearer understanding of the bottom line of the route.

It is this that gives humans the ability to break through the boundaries of cognition and possess the ability to absorb external energy and convert it into internal energy.

And this Qi Refiner, in essence, is just endowed with a more powerful conversion ability.

And to a certain extent, it can release energy.

"We have to speed up the progress."

Su Mo's heart was filled with a sense of urgency, and he suddenly felt that the next development would definitely not be like the future ruins.

Each large territory can still develop step by step and eventually become an unshakable giant.

If these routes come true, then small territories will also have the power to fight.

Who will be strong and who will be weak at that time is still unknown.

No words for the whole night.

Suddenly there was a sense of urgency, and Su Mo decided to continue to speed up the progress of the next desert crossing.

After trading with the catwoman Abei who was chasing behind, the points in his hand soared again by 2,800 points, officially breaking through the 5,000 point mark and reaching 6,600 points.

However, although there are many points, there is still a huge gap between buying legendary routes.

Su Mo reluctantly glanced at the purple sales slip sold by the merchant, and chose to continue his journey without delay.

On the fifth day, the team traveled another 120 kilometers and arrived at the fourth stage.

Compared with the third stage, the terrain of the fourth stage has changed dramatically again.

Sand dunes as tall as volcanoes are densely packed together, with hundreds of them in sight, and yellow smoke constantly floating out and gathering towards the sky.

Underground fire!

Thinking of the name of this desert, the five people's hearts suddenly chilled, and they knew the real reason.

"I'm afraid that the major natural disaster on the ninth day is the eruption of these volcanoes."

It is impossible to tell whether it is a dead volcano or an active volcano, but the scene can be foreseen through the prompts in the manual.

The earth cracked and the ground fire erupted.

The entire desert will become a barren land, a forbidden area that is difficult for creatures to enter.

"Let's go, keep moving forward!"

Compared with yesterday, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the dividing line today.

After thinking about the pros and cons, Su Mo continued to choose to speed up to the terrain exit.

It was a waste of time to wait here for the survivors who could enter the second terrain. Going to the exit of the terrain was obviously a better choice.

As for the merchants in the fourth stage, fresh water and food finally appeared, but the prices were doubled compared to the first stage.

A bottle of 500 ml of water was sold for 150 points, which was more expensive than what Su Mo sold to Catwoman.

A piece of black bread was slightly cheaper, but it also cost 120 points.

And with the previous rare-level sales order as a comparison, Su Mo had no interest in the items on this ordinary sales order after a quick glance.

Before dark, the group went forward for more than 70 kilometers again, and their footwork reached an astonishing 400 miles a day.

"Wait, is there an oasis?"

Stopping at the top of a volcano, Su Mo looked into the distance.

Under the embellishment of countless black and yellow, a touch of lush green finally appeared in the center of the earth.

The area was not large, only half an acre of land, less than 500 square meters, and could not accommodate too many people.

But for contestants trying to survive in the desert, it is undoubtedly a great place to survive!
