Chapter 218 Do We Need to Farm?

The ruins at night were quiet and strange. Bai'er stepped lightly on the broken sand and stones, making a slight noise.

In the hidden corners, there were brave little creatures with curious eyes, looking at this huge monster that had never been seen in the past.

Bai'er walked along the vaguely visible main road, watching the progress on the panel grow bit by bit.

0.2%...

0.3%...

0.5%...

1%...

Unbelievably slow.

Does it mean that this ruin may be very large?

It is said to be a "small" ruins...

Bai'er complained in his heart, walked out of a corner, and suddenly his spirit was shocked.

Monotonous ruins The ruins are still ruins, but on the architectural ruins behind the corner, there is a row of translucent words that only he can see-

[Abandoned and damaged bar] (Occupyable)) (Repairable)

[You are exploring the functional area of ​​the target ruins, current exploration degree: 10.7%. ]

The progress suddenly increased a lot!

When Bai'e looked at it intently, a more detailed explanation appeared one by one under that line of big words——

[Hint: You found the no man's land——abandoned and damaged bar. Current status: can be occupied and repaired. This no man's land has been abandoned for many years and has lost the effect it should have. But the silhouette of time and space records its most perfect time in the past. As long as you can find the necessary materials (100 drinks, 3 waiters, 1 store manager), and complete the repair of the main building, you can put it back into use. ]

[Bar: As a place to exchange information, it can occasionally take into account the functions of publishing and completing commissions. (Required: Regional Reputation Level 1)]

[Bar: Due to the frequent visits of many tourists from all over the world and the exchange of various effective information, this place can occasionally attract some special people with certain "strength"... (Required: Force Reputation Level 2, Regional Reputation Level 2)]

"..."

After reading the detailed explanation, Bai'e's face became a little strange for a while.

This is... asking me to go farming?

Exploring the ruins and developing power are two complementary development routes.

Yes.

Bai'e continued to move forward, just leaving this clue...

He didn't even need to remember it.

Just like the ruins of the Internet root server explored last time, the map on the panel directly marked the location and size of the ruins in the form of a light blue line three-dimensional picture. As long as you want to check it, you can do it at any time.

Bai'e continued to move forward along the main road and found more abandoned buildings-

[Abandoned and damaged vehicle repair factory]

[Abandoned and damaged freshwater treatment plant]

[Abandoned and damaged food production factory]

[Abandoned and damaged power plant]

[Abandoned and damaged steel plant]

[Abandoned and damaged market]

...

Every time one is discovered, the exploration progress of the ruins will suddenly increase.

The scale of this small town ruins is naturally far from enough to look at compared to the core city of the golden age, but it is small but complete.

Bai'e can find almost all the functional buildings needed for a power...or a group of people to live here.

But the abandoned and damaged version.

If you want to put them back into use, you need to find the key resources they need first.

For example, a power plant requires at least 3 generators.

A food production factory requires at least 1 production line and three planting bases... and so on.

While walking, Bai'e suddenly remembered what the refugee elder Gilder said before - to seek refuge.

What if... What if one day he left the barracks, or even the city.

In other words, even if he did not leave the barracks or the city, it seems that he could develop his own armed forces in secret.

The underground warehouse built by the players is too close to the black street and the barracks. Of course, there is no problem with a micro base, but if you want to expand... the location becomes the biggest obstacle.

Whether it is the local snakes in the black street or the military, they will not sit idly by and watch an unknown force build various infrastructures nearby in such a big way.

This place... seems to be pretty good.

Materials, knowledge, people...

The most important thing is people!

Talent! More talents!

Combat and tactical talents like Kuang Xin and Dai Lian.

Management talents like Gong Yan.

Technology talents like Zhou Wenjie.

With people, there is everything.

A rough thought flashed through Bai'e's mind, but he didn't think too deeply.

Both he and the player were still weak, and he didn't know what the future of this group of refugees would be like.

If there was a chance, maybe they could try to develop from here.

And now...

Bai'e stopped.

He was already far away from the place where everyone was resting, spanning more than ten blocks. Even if there were people who followed him out of curiosity, they should have gone back long ago.

But they are still following him until now... which means "ulterior motives".

Bai'e said softly, "Come out."

Two small figures came out from behind a broken wall in the distance behind him.

"Master... Master."

"Master Bai'e."

Murphy and Kilolan shouted softly.

Bai'e turned around and looked at the two helplessly in the dim moonlight, "Aren't you tired after a day's journey?"

"We just want to see what the adults are doing..."

Bai E shook his head gently, "I'm just checking to see if there are any resources that can be recycled... Okay, it's okay, let's go back."

After all... the progress is already full.

[You have completed all the puzzles of the ruins exploration, and the current exploration degree is: 100%. 】

There is no extra reward, just a three-dimensional composition of lines of the entire abandoned town is sketched on the panel, waiting for one day to be rebuilt.

Seeing Bai E slowly walking up to him, Kilolan stared up at Bai E with his big eyes filled with utter admiration.

"Did your Excellency find anything?"

"They've all been moved."

Hundreds of years have passed since the end of that golden age. In this era, all resources were scarce and precious, and those who could be moved away from the ruins had long since been moved away.

Even some fixed facilities that were difficult to move were found ways to be divided and taken away. You must know that for countless ordinary people in this era, even the steel smelted in the old era is an unimaginable high-tech product.

Bai E shook his head slightly, his eyes sweeping over the silent ruins in the dark, his tone a little regretful, "It's just... what a pity."

Not being able to use it... is such a loss.

There was always a reason why this place was chosen as the location of a town in the past. The land was relatively fertile and there was running water not far away.

If we have the manpower and resources, we might not be able to re-build and utilize them.

But the premise is that you can withstand all possible malice in the wilderness——

From bugs, from mechanical rebels, from orcs...even from other humans.

There is actually a lot of land that can be used in this era, and it is a truly sparsely populated era.

If it is some small inhabited tribe...for example, underground similar to wind-eroded caves, the refugee group maintains a low-tech primitive life, and may be able to survive for a long time with luck.

But if you really want to develop industry and create a future of your own... then without the protection of a tall city wall and a complete military establishment like Blackwater City, almost everyone will die in their infancy.

Insects will subconsciously look for any place where there is a large accumulation of biomass.

Mechanical rebels will instinctively collect any mineral resources they can.

Orcs will find ways to cause trouble and find fights.

Humans...will try to take advantage of others' hard work.

Not all, but often.

What a pity.

It is such a pity that I can only huddle in a tall castle and drool while looking at the huge world.

"Perhaps you can give it a try, sir?" Kilolan followed Bai E's gaze and looked at the ruins in the dark.

The ruins of the city have a unique beauty of order in her eyes.

Urban planning in the Golden Age was always so reasonable and beautiful.

Under some inadvertent distraction, everything in front of her seemed to be restored to its original and most perfect appearance in a rapid passage of time.

She saw the gravel on the ground leaping onto the roof again.

She saw the broken iron frame returning to its original position.

She saw the broken signs all over the ground re-hanging on the eaves facing the street.

She saw the equipment that had fallen to the ground rise up.

Time tells everything.

The glory of the past has not been completely forgotten.

Even though she had never seen the so-called golden age with her own eyes, just looking at some traces of that era now, she felt as if she had traveled through time and space and traced back to the most beautiful era in the past.

Right before her eyes, everything was back to the best it had ever been.

Bright colored lights flickered all around, and the whole person seemed to be surrounded by the bustling sound of people passing by.

Momentarily intoxicated.

"So beautiful..."

She whispered softly.

"What?" Murphy thought he heard wrongly.

Kilolan blinked, and those fantasy-like scenes disappeared in an instant.

Her thinking has been particularly divergent since she was a child, and her imagination is rich. She can always think of things she has never seen before...

She used to worry about it, but gradually got used to it.

"Shh~"

Bai E suddenly made a sound and put his index finger in front of his lips.

There is movement.

Quietly, as if afraid of attracting his own attention.

Just behind the wall beside you.

Bai E moved slightly, invisibly blocking the two children behind him.

This time...what is it again?

"hiss!"

The ferocious bone claws pierced out of the darkness like sharp swords. Bai E, who was fully focused, picked up the Glaive Machine Gun that had been hanging on his waist and faced it.

"Clang clang clang!"

The clash of bone blades and war blades made a sound like steel blades clashing.

After blocking the first wave of attacks launched by the opponent, Bai E covered the child and took a few steps back before he could see the full picture of the monster in front of him.

A... gray-white spider?

A spider bigger than a human!

And not just one.

The spider that launched the attack was just the first vanguard to blow the horn. More gray-white figures quietly appeared from every corner of the ruins, and for a while they were extremely infiltrative.

Unknowingly, these things...surrounded me?

Are there any guardian monsters in this ruins? !
