Six consecutive records suddenly popped up on the game panel, indicating that Su Mo had just killed more than 20 lunatics on the ground, which had a huge impact on this task.
As the task panel popped up, more detailed prompts followed.

"Good guy, the half-year mission time was extended to one year for me?"
Suma calmed down, forced himself to hold back the surprise and confusion in his heart, and ran quickly to the carriage he was riding in.
Because of the privilege of defeating the five ancestral gods in the game reward before.
In the first year, humans have the right to vote on the next three disasters.
As for the end of the first year, all creatures will return to the same starting line, and everyone can only know the specific situation of the next disaster between 15 and 25 days before the disaster.
So, that is to say.
Now the game prompts that the zombie tide will occur in a year. Only Su Mo knows, and he is the only one who knows how terrible the power of this disaster is.
"How can it be? According to my previous estimation, this disaster should break out in full force at the latest in the third year of the apocalypse."
"It is unreasonable to delay it until the eighth year of the apocalypse!"
Carefully thinking about the experimental data obtained before, Su Mo's mouth twitched slightly, and for a moment he was quite glad that he entered this future ruins.
Empiricism is really deadly.
It is not clear why this disaster was suppressed from three years to five years, and it will not break out until the eighth year of the apocalypse.
But the previous experimental data was only tested on aliens, and no more detailed data analysis was actually done on any human.
This is the biggest loophole.
"Fortunately, now I can not only find out the real reason for the outbreak of the zombie tide, but also see how powerful this disaster is."
"If it works well, I may even be able to get the antidote for the zombies, which is the ultimate goal of this ruins!"
The time that can be spent in the ruins has increased by half a year, which means that Su Mo has more time to spend freely.
From half a year to a year, he will have more time to familiarize himself with the environment and study.
Of course, in the Baisha ruins, this time may still make people feel a little tormented.
But in this future world that is more advanced than the real wasteland, Su Mo can only shout in his heart that he has made a lot of money!
With his legs exerting force, he followed a carriage with an open window and exerted force on the car body, and Su Mo easily returned to the train.
In the surprised eyes of the passengers, he didn't waste any words and went straight through several carriages to return to the carriage to Tianyuan Territory.
"Hey, Mr. Su, where have you been? We are still looking for you."
"There was a riot ahead. Fortunately, the soldiers in charge of our train today are from our Tianyuan Territory. You don't have to worry."
Seeing Su Mo coming over, Wang Zhuyu, who was standing at the door of the carriage, patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
The death of a passenger on the train is definitely a scandal, which is enough to directly affect the ticket sales for a long time to come.
And if it was a person of ordinary status, it would be fine.
If it was someone like Su Mo who had a status of more than "10,000 yuan", as long as he got into trouble, the crew of the entire train would be punished.
The first to bear the brunt, she, the direct person, would be suspended and transferred.
"It's okay, I'm just curious, I'll go to the front and take a look"
Su Mo smiled apologetically, walked sideways past Wang Zhuyu and entered the carriage.
The moment the two came into contact, Wang Zhuyu's face changed significantly when she smelled the strong smell of blood on Su Mo.
But in the end, she wisely chose to shut up and let Su Mo sit back at the table.
"Brother Su, is everything okay?" Chen Yongkang, who had been hiding under the table before, had crawled out at this time.
"It's okay, it's not a big problem, all the rioters were killed." Shaking his head, if it was Chen Shen sitting opposite, Su Mo might have talked about the more specific situation in detail.
But Su Mo was not interested in Chen Yongkang, who only cared about himself.
Now.
Because many people had just died in the front, delaying the journey, and it was getting dark.
Seeing that Su Mo had no interest in talking, Huang Qing and his wife also returned to their seats tactfully and began to take out blankets to keep warm and self-heating food to prepare for the night.
Suddenly.
In the back of the carriage, only Su Mo and Huang Xiaojuan were left, as well as Oreo, who was lying on a stool and looking at the night comfortably.
"Brother Zong, if this happens again next time, let's not go over there. The gunshots were so dense just now, it was really dangerous"
"I thought our Qingguo territory was in chaos enough, but I didn't expect it to be so chaotic outside, and there were people robbing on the train!"
Huang Xiaojuan was preparing dinner with a lingering fear on her face.
According to the news just passed back from the front, everyone in the entire train knew what the reason for the riot just now was.
Of course, the reason of "robbery" was enough to fool those who didn't see it.
After all, it was the warriors of Tianyuan Territory who spoke, and almost no one in the entire carriage would choose to question it.
And for those who witnessed it with their own eyes, except for Su Mo who knew the real situation, the others didn't see the madman on the ground clearly.
Naturally, the atmosphere in the entire train didn't become very agitated, and it returned to peace.
"It's okay, such emergencies can happen anywhere"
"With the protection of the warriors of Tianyuan Territory, don't worry, we can get there smoothly!"
Taking the fragrant beef pie, Su Mo chewed it with big mouthfuls, and his expression was not too heavy.
At this point, it is a huge advantage to know what the disaster will be in a year in advance.
At that time, as long as he can gain a foothold in Tianyuan Territory and give a few words, perhaps the territory's current strong foundation can think of a way to deal with it.
As a newbie who has been in the wasteland for a year, Su Mo is very self-aware and knows exactly what he needs at this stage.
"I have to quickly accumulate a lot of points to ensure that my identity can continue to grow, contact more people, and see more things on more levels"
"At the same time, this time is just right for me to calm down and integrate the knowledge I learned before to see if I can create a powerful individual weapon that meets my requirements"
After eating one, Su Mo picked up the second one and began to chew and swallow it.
People are made of iron and food is made of steel. Although the current wasteland is not as developed as expected, compared with the real wasteland, at least food is guaranteed.
As for the first-stage reward obtained before, Su Mo plans to take it to the territory and settle down before opening it.
After all, there are many people on the train. If the reward is a big one, he can't hide his idea of keeping a low profile, which is not in line with expectations.
Gradually, the night outside the window began to deepen.
After watching Huang Xiaojuan fall asleep with a blanket, and asking Oreo to keep watch, Su Mo also felt sleepy and couldn't help lying on the bench and sleeping with his clothes on.
…
No words all night.
The next morning, under the habit of the biological clock, Su Mo opened his eyes on time at seven o'clock.
"Hiss, my waist is so sore!"
After lying on the stiff bench for a night, without the help of the psionic water, Su Mo once again felt the pain of ordinary people.
"Haha, it seems that you don't take the train often, but we are used to it!"
Gong Liang, who was sitting not far away and had just washed his face, turned his head with a smile on his face.
"It will take two and a half days to get to our Tianyuan territory, and the journey is not short."
Huang Qing also sat up and said something, with fatigue that could not be concealed on his face.
Anyone who often takes the train knows that although people can lie down, sit, and even do whatever they want on the train.
But after a long time, it is inevitable that there will be mental fatigue that cannot be eliminated.
"This time when I return to the territory, I will sleep well for two days."
Chen Yongkang got in from the head of the carriage with the breakfast distributed in the train, and brought back more for everyone.
"Thank you!"
Taking the portion for himself and Huang Xiaojuan, Su Mo flipped through it casually, with a little surprise on his face.
He expected that he could provide free meals on the train. After all, most people who travel long distances still need a hot breakfast to soothe their souls.
But at the moment, the quality of the food seems to be too good.
Each person can have a steamed bun, a fresh meat bun, a plate of pickles, and a cooked egg.
"This is a compensation meal. Whenever an accident occurs on the train, the food standard will be upgraded during the rest of the journey."
Chen Yongkang, who was standing by, saw Su Mo's confusion and explained in a low voice.
Train tickets in the wasteland are not cheap. According to the purchasing power of prices, the current train ticket to Tianyuan Territory is not cheap.
Just one ticket would require an ordinary family of three in the Qingguo territory to work hard for about five years to afford it.
So in order to generate enough sales to ensure railway maintenance, once a scandal occurs on a train, the person in charge will try to find ways to eliminate the impact as much as possible.
"This is quite thoughtful!"
After waking up Huang Xiaojuan who was still sleeping, Sumo picked up the washbasin and went to the water room to get hot water as the Romans did.
After freshening up, I returned to my seat and had breakfast. This was the beginning of a new day in the wasteland.
"Brother Gong, do you have any records of the disasters that happened in our wasteland before?"
With yesterday's familiarity, when Su Mo stood up and sat next to Gong Liang, he was not restrained and asked directly.
But unfortunately, eight years have passed in the wasteland.
For ordinary people, they may still be able to clearly recall the disasters that occurred in the past two years, but most of the memories going forward are fuzzy and it is difficult to think of specific details.
On the contrary, Gong Liang remembered the disaster at the beginning of the New World very clearly because of Sumo's disappearance.
"When the New World first opened, it was a winter disaster, consisting of blizzards, heavy rains, and ultra-low temperatures of minus 40 degrees. It was also during the latter ultra-low temperature that Su Shen completely disappeared in the wasteland."
"After the winter disaster, because there was too much snow, the game started the summer disaster again. I remember that the disaster was much simpler at the beginning. It was just a continuous high temperature, and the maximum temperature was only about 50 degrees."
"But because the snow began to melt in large quantities, terrifying flash floods eventually formed. Coupled with the expansion of the mountains at that time, the raging impact of floods could be seen everywhere in the New World."
"You see, the big rivers we see along the way now were formed by the melting of snow and earthquakes at that time."
Pointing to a long river looming in the distance, Gong Liang spoke slowly and leisurely.
Even though he was not in the New World at the time, but in the deep sea, it looked like he had witnessed it with his own eyes.
"As for the summer disasters, there will be many more disasters coming. One will be a large-scale plague, and the other will be a hurricane sweeping the mainland."
Thinking of this, Gong Liang turned his head and checked with Huang Qing before continuing:
"Of course, these are not the most terrifying disasters in the first year. The most terrifying thing is the catastrophe of changes in physical properties."
"When this disaster first came out, everyone didn't pay much attention to it. They just regarded it as an ordinary minor disaster that could be easily overcome."
"But then, after it became clear that this disaster could significantly reduce the rigidity of ordinary iron and copper, the alien race, which had always been ambitious, actually took the lead in attacking."
"They take advantage of the fact that our human guns, weapons, cannons and other things cannot shoot due to changes in the physical properties of iron and copper, and the threat is greatly reduced."
"Led by the super-large alien Celestial Clan, which was the number one at the time, it set off an ethnic war in the New World that could sweep through any corner, affecting almost all human territories."
"Including our Tianyuan territory, it was also the center of their attack. It was surrounded and attacked by nearly 100,000 aliens."
“What a pity”
Seeing Chen Yongkang coming over curiously, Gong Liang showed a hint of pride and deliberately whetted his appetite before saying proudly:
"This war is not only a test for our Tianyuan territory, but also an opportunity for us to take off."
"No one could have imagined that after only one year of development, we already had a large number of high-performance weapons for external warfare. Although the territory only had about 5,000 people at the time, 100,000 aliens besieged it for three days and failed to lay down the outermost defense. ,lost heavily"
"And in this battle alone, we took advantage of the situation and usurped a lot of surrounding resources, harvesting unimaginable material reserves in one fell swoop. It can be said that the enemy sent us to take off!"
Gong Liang's face was filled with regret as he was unable to witness the battle with his own eyes.
Even through other people's oral accounts, I can vaguely sense the brutality and grandeur of that battle.
It can’t make up for everyone’s regret of wanting to witness the legendary history with their own eyes.
"Since this war, no alien race has dared to challenge us. And with the demise of the Celestial Clan, the alien race and humans have also entered a very long period of friction."
"It wasn't until we, the large human forces living in the deep sea, began to land in the New World that the balance of victory gradually tipped over, leading to the current situation."
