Chapter 1383 Leaving Alone and Entering the Wilderness Again!

According to the location information left by the expedition team that visited Tianyuan, Hulai City should be located in the northwest of the southern plate, towards another area bordering the central plate.

Starting from Mengyue Territory, the straight-line distance between the two places should be between 4,000 and 6,000 kilometers.

Even if you go by water, it will take at least a week to arrive.

Su Mo originally planned to take people there to see what the strength of Enterprise, one of the three giants of Blue Star, is, and whether Hulai City may pose a threat to players in the future.

However, after entering Mengyue Territory and witnessing the vitality here under the leadership of Xi Ruyue and Chu Chaofei, his thoughts changed subtly.

In this chaotic period of uncertainty, the value of talents is indeed impossible to measure in words.

You must know that Tianyuan has just exceeded 100,000 people, but the total number of managers of various types is already hundreds of people.

And Mengyue Territory, which also has a population of 100,000, can manage the territory in an orderly manner with only Xi Ruyue and Chu Chaofei.

Although there are various other factors, the positive impact brought by the two cannot be denied.

Thinking of this, considering that there are still a large number of "wild" talents waiting for him to discover in the southern fire area, Su Mo can no longer sit still.

Before he came out of the future ruins, he specially compiled a list of talents.

It records in detail many people like Xi Ruyue who have no room to play in a short period of time but have great potential, and now they can be put to great use.

As for whether taking these people away from the original established development line in advance will have any unexpected effects.

This point has been worried about in the face of changes such as plate splitting, route launch, and the dispute of ten thousand paths.

Mengyue Territory, which will become one of the top 100 territories in the future, has now fallen under a small disaster.

Then who can tell what kind of changes will happen after several major disasters in the future.

As expected, Xi Ruyue and Chu Chaofei only hesitated for a moment, wondering whether this would have any negative impact on Mengyue Territory, which had just started to improve.

After getting the assurance that Su Mo would send someone to maintain order, he readily agreed.

By the way, Xi Ruyue breathed a sigh of relief, and her whole mental state changed, as if she had unloaded a heavy burden.

"Let's talk somewhere, there seem to be a lot of people here."

Su Mo looked up and looked around.

It was getting close to evening, and most of the people who worked during the day were on their way back to the county town.

There was also a flow of people around the open-air hospital, and many nurses were planning to come to the warehouse to get medicine.

It was just because Xi Ruyue and Chu Chaofei were here, so they didn't dare to come.

Chu Chaofei hurriedly led the way and took the two to a rest studio in the hospital, and picked up the kettle on the table and poured the still-warm wild tea.

Several people sat down around the table, and the dim light in the room reflected narrow and long shadows.

"Since we are already one of us, I won't hide anything from you. At present, there is not much information from Tianyuan about the exploration of the three major forces. For example, the foundation and the college are better. The enterprise... Although we have already conducted a transaction with them, we still know very little in general. This time I came to the southern fire zone specifically to explore the details of the enterprise."

"Enterprise..."

After listening to it, Chu Chaofei pondered for a while and said, "I have seen many players discussing it on the world channel, and their Hu Lai City seems to be recruiting survivors from the outside, but the strange thing is that the survivors who went there are like dumb, and no information has been passed on."

Objectively speaking, it should not be said that no news has been passed on.

It's just that the news that has been passed on is very different from what everyone expects.

In fact, most people go to the enterprise's Hu Lai City just to try their luck, eager to find a job there to make a living, and seek the protection of the enterprise to avoid the looting of other survivors and alien races, as well as the threat of natural disasters.

But when you really get there, you definitely can't think about working.

The automation of Blue Star has already reached an exaggerated level, not to mention the enterprise named after it.

Hulai City does not need so many laborers at all, and naturally cannot provide so-called jobs.

As for protection... I heard that no one dared to cause trouble there, but small-scale conflicts have never stopped.

Even in the complicated information in the world channel, someone mentioned it more than once.

Hulai City divided the surrounding areas according to the distance, with each level of five kilometers, and a total of four areas.

The closer to the interior, the higher the level of the area, and the more difficult it is to obtain the qualification to enter.

As of now, among the tens of thousands of survivors who have arrived around Hulai City, not to mention how many people have obtained the qualification to enter the city, even those who have gone to the first area are few.

"This is one of the reasons why I want you to explore the enterprise."

Su Mo picked up the teacup and sipped the bitter tea.

Unlike the future ruins, the major forces were forced to squeeze into a small area as soon as they arrived in the new continent, and fought for the sustainability of resources for a full two years.

The area of ​​the New World has expanded several times, especially now that it has become five major plates, some resource conflicts that needed to be resolved urgently have naturally been eased, and no serious conflicts have broken out.

Including the war between humans and aliens that would break out at the end of the year, it also disappeared invisibly.

However, this is only an alleviation and does not resolve the essential contradiction at its root.

Between humans and aliens, the winner will eventually be decided, and one side will be driven out of the wasteland.

And as the major forces develop peacefully longer, the intensity of conflicts will become more terrifying.

When each major territory possesses artillery and rockets, then a round of war may affect tens of thousands of square kilometers of land.

In the same way, the alien race is also accumulating strength in this process, waiting to seize the opportunity when a full-scale war breaks out.

The five major sectors that seem to be peaceful at present will eventually evolve into battlefields under the acceleration of continuous disasters.

Each sector needs an organization with absolute strength to end small-scale ongoing disputes.

Only when five winners emerge will we be able to discuss the final result.

The Ten Thousand Paths War that will take place at any time during this period is the catalyst and the means to forcibly accelerate the start of the dispute.

"Tianyuan will not put too much energy into other sectors until the central sector is completely cleared. But we need to always pay attention to the trends in other sectors to ensure that our progress never lags behind others."

"Will the future... be chaotic?"

Xi Ruyue blinked and suddenly brought the topic to an aspect unrelated to the upcoming task.

This is actually a question that survivors often ask.

Too many people have reached the brink of collapse and are relying on instinct to survive.

If the next autumn harvest can be guaranteed, then the next winter can be sustained. However, if there is another targeted disaster similar to the three-year cold spring, chaos may be imminent.

"The future will definitely be chaotic, so chaotic that I can't guarantee how many people will live to see the real dawn."

Sumo thought for a while, then suddenly smiled and nodded.

"But you don't have to worry. Only when chaos is born and intensifies can it finally end."

This was the first time Su Mo talked about this matter so seriously in an informal setting. Even Su Chan next to him sat up straight.

"Some time ago, we launched a war involving tens of thousands of people with the alien race. It was this war that made me confirm that Tianyuan's current path is correct. We do have some capabilities to solve local chaos. Of course, it is far from what I thought. There is still a long way to go to resolve all the chaos, and it may take several years, or even more than ten years.”

"But I can guarantee that we are on the right path. The new continent in the future will never become a new continent shared by people on earth and certain kinds of creatures. It will be our second home besides the earth, and it will also be a place where we can develop again. An opportunity to evolve civilization.”

Looking at Xi Ruyue and Chu Chaofei who were restrained, Sumo took a deep breath and continued speaking in an unusually domineering manner.

"We are building arsenal-related facilities regardless of cost. We are recruiting and training the army without forcing personal will as much as possible. The progress is very fast. Every day, hundreds of recruits walk out of the training camp, and dozens of tanks drive out of production. After acquiring weapons that can be armed to the teeth, they will definitely have enough strength to ensure that we achieve our goals.”

"I know what you're worried about."

"But believe me, Tianyuan's development speed is definitely beyond your imagination. It may seem to you that in order to achieve the goal and end this chaos, it will take a long time that is difficult to see until the end of life. However, in my opinion, It may only take a small opportunity to end it.”

"This opportunity may come tomorrow, it may come the day after tomorrow, of course it may come now..."

Ding dong.

There was a crisp sound in his ears, and Sumo subconsciously thought that he was hallucinating.

But when the sound appeared again, accompanied by the appearance of the game panel, his expression suddenly became strange.

Hey guys, does the game also include eavesdropping?

What appears now is naturally not what he calls an opportunity. Of course, in the eyes of ordinary survivors, it may not be much different.

Counting the time, it has been half a month since the cold spring weather ended.

There are only twenty days left before the next disaster. Counting the notice time, now is the time for him to make one of three choices.

Hiding the game panel for the time being, Somo coughed lightly and continued to look at the two men who were bowing their heads in thought.

Under normal circumstances, he would definitely not have brought up these extremely heavy-sounding topics related to the fate and future of mankind at the very beginning to discourage the two of them.

But considering that we are going to recruit those talents in the southern fire domain sector, it is inevitable that there will be a few tough ones who will be ineffective.

If he did encounter it, it would be impossible for the duck to fly away.

Even if he uses words, lies and coaxes, Sumo will take all these talents back to his territory.

...

An originally very simple conversation lasted until the middle of the moon.

Most of the time, Sumo was outputting, explaining Tianyuan's current development plan and the way forward.

It is not only helping the two of them understand the situation clearly, but also sorting out their own thoughts to prepare for recruiting others next.

For a small part of the time, Su Chan supplemented the discussion and assisted in the argument from a third party's perspective.

It doesn't have much nutritional value, but it can at least ease some of the tense high-frequency atmosphere.

After the conversation.

Xi Ruyue and Chu Chaofei both looked a little depressed and decadent. I don’t know what they were thinking about, as if they were hit to the bottom.

With their current level and vision, it is indeed difficult to calmly accept the large number of setbacks and difficulties they will face in the future.

Especially those disasters that make people’s scalps numb when they hear them. After listening to them, people will directly think that it is better to die now.

However, just when Su Chan boldly guessed that the two would be depressed for many days, I don’t know what Xi Ruyue and Chu Chaofei thought of when they went back at night.

At dawn, when Su Mo saw the two again, they actually recovered their energetic state, and there was no trace of depression and decadence.

"Not bad, not wrong about you."

This is in line with Su Mo’s cognition of the mental state of the current survivors.

Those who are depressed when they encounter setbacks and hardships should have stayed in the wasteland for a year.

Any human who can persist for two years without giving up is either an optimist with strong self-relief ability, or a mentally tough and able to withstand pressure.

It is basically impossible to expect to break down these people's mental defenses with just a few words.

"Su Chan will go to Hulai City with you. Please take good care of her along the way."

In addition to Su Chan, there are Feng Long and more than 30 soldiers.

It should be very safe to go to Hulai City, and Su Mo is not worried about any accidents.

On the contrary, these people are still a little worried that he will run around alone in the southern fire zone, and whether he will encounter any unsolvable troubles.

Su Mo smiled and said nothing, reaching out to touch the mark of the Demon Soul Clan on his right arm and the storage module on his wrist.

Not to mention the help that the system can provide at critical moments.

Just the ability to transform into other people, the storage module loaded with the Sun Chaser Armor, and the Lance Statue and other trump cards.

At present, he really can't think of any unsolvable troubles.

Besides, under the premise that he carries a positioning beacon, the underground city can be deployed at any time.

Under the premise of not sparing energy costs, it only takes a few minutes to immediately entangle a large army on the spot.

"Maybe after I'm done with this, we can meet up in Hulai City."

"Contact me if you need anything."

The Western Wilderness Plate is vast and desolate, and it's Dragon Flag's territory, so it's not easy to intervene.

The northern ice field, the bitter cold land, is far away, and there's no way to start in a short time.

Not to mention the Eastern Rift Plate. The criss-crossing terrain of the Great Rift Valley inherently determines that it is impossible for a super-large gathering place to be born there, and the transportation is more troublesome than the other plates.

After counting, only the Southern Fire Region Plate with developed waterways is the best choice at the moment!

Before Tianyuan unified the central plate, he realized that this might be one of the few opportunities for the lord to move freely for a long time in the future.

Slapping the communicator on his waist, Su Mo boarded a guerrilla boat neatly, turned on the engine and left.

Not to mention much, he didn't dare to check the disaster options that the game reminded him last night until now.

As the last disaster before the autumn harvest, no one knows whether it will be an opportunity or despair!

...
