Ark’s apocalyptic line, but the fourth natural disaster!

Nowadays, all the players entering the game are closed beta players. Once the closed beta is completed, there will be a large influx of newcomers, and experienced closed beta players will definitely be poached by major organizations and unions.

When Tu Shanyao saw this, he frowned and thought for a moment.

Regarding the union system, he really wanted to wait until the internal testing, and the relevant mechanisms were still being improved.

With a union, there will inevitably be fights between players, so they need to be carefully planned.

In the morning, after almost all the players came online, Tu Shanyao began to prepare for the next action.

Judging from the current situation, the next reputation base should be Pips Settlement.

Pips is dead, so Tu Shanyao will take over his settlement.This is a normally functioning settlement. Not only does it not have to pay for resources and food, it can also obtain a lot of labor.

"Mission: Justice Seizure."

"Mission content: The evil Pips is dead. In the apocalypse, the surviving residents are innocent. The settlement without a leader will face many threats, so we must find a way to help them and hide Pips at the same time. All the treasures were confiscated.”

"Mission goal: follow the administrator to the Pips settlement."

"Task requirements: Professional combat players whose level is greater than or equal to level 5."

"Task reward: The Origen settlement defense battle reward system applies. After the collection is completed, it will be distributed together."

215 'Investigating Settlement'

Pips settlement is located on the east side of Origen settlement.

The distance between the two is about 8 kilometers.

Dozens of players are leading the way in the snow, and the snow covering their knees has a certain impact on the speed of movement.

In a hilly lowland, there are about two hundred families stationed there. The buildings here are mainly wooden houses. The surrounding trees and rocks have been bulldozed and piled up, forming a simple guardrail to circle the entire settlement.

More than 100 meters north of the Pips settlement is the Dongling Highlands area where the terrain suddenly rises.

The entire Dongling Mountains run east-west. The starting point in the west can actually be considered near the small snow mountain where the survival base is located, and the east end extends to the highland mountains.

The environment inside the Dongling Mountains is very harsh. It is like winter all year round and the weather is freezing. It is difficult for ordinary people to survive.But a long time ago, an ancient tribe did exist in the Dongling Mountains, but today, most of them have died.

Tu Shanyao set the meeting point two kilometers outside the Pips settlement. Some players came online late, but the players who participated in yesterday's battle just set off from the settlement at this time.

The cold wind was blowing lightly, and the body temperature should be about minus five or six degrees.

"Shirou is a wolf, please wait here." Tu Shanyao said, "Let the others gather here."

"Okay, Administrator." Shirou was wearing a down jacket, and the hot air from his mouth condensed into white mist.

"Chuanghuo, Yuwan, you two go in with me first."

Tu Shanyao clicked on the names of the two nearest players. After speaking, the two men received the task of 'investigating the settlement' on their bracelets.

Precious is becoming more and more proficient. He understands Tu Shanyao's thoughts and cooperates seamlessly.

"No problem, Administrator."

Chuanhuo wore a black coat with a standard combat uniform underneath.

Yuwan is a female player, and she is very concerned about her appearance. She wears a white coat and a scarf with +1 sensitivity made by Tachibana Kanade around her neck. She looks very elegant.

"Don't say anything later." Tu Shanyao said as he walked, "Let's pretend that we are fleeing from a nearby settlement and go in to find out the situation." Although judging from past intelligence, there should be no fighting in the Pips settlement. There is still strength left, but it is always right to be cautious, in case there are people from the church inside.

"Why not pretend to be a businessman?" Yuwan asked curiously.

"There are no businessmen in this season." Chuan Huo said, "Look at the thickness of the snow, it is difficult for people to walk, and vehicles cannot move at all."

"The Chuanhuo is right, there are usually no merchants this season."

The distance of two kilometers was not far for the three of them, and they arrived at the gate of the Pips settlement in a short while.

This settlement is relatively large, with two main roads intersecting horizontally and vertically, north and south.

The gate of the settlement is built from the trunk of a thick tree, with a few words carved on the horizontal wood - Pips.

"There are no guards?"

Logically speaking, given the size of the Pips settlement, there should be guards.Covering a large area, you must be wary of threats from the wild. Under normal circumstances, larger settlements have guards patrolling around them.For a settlement the size of Saluzzo, electronic surveillance is used all around.

Has the news come back that Pipps has been killed?

Or maybe the people in the settlement have become suspicious after not coming back after one night?

The road inside the gate is not wide, about three or four meters, and an old man with gray hair is clearing the snow in front of the gate with a shovel.

"Master, hello."

The man who was clearing the snow was startled, raised his head and said tremblingly, "You... what are you going to do?"

"We are survivors who fled nearby and want to find a place to stay."

"Survivor?" The uncle seemed to be a little slow to react. After frowning for a while, he suddenly waved his hand and said, "Ah, this... is not a good place... it is not a good place..." As he spoke, the uncle looked around. Then he bent down and continued shoveling the snow without saying a word.

"..."

Tu Shanyao shook his head and continued walking inside.

The old man looked a bit old, but his clothes were not thick. In such a cold weather, he felt like he would freeze to death at any time.

Through the gaps between the houses, you can see that the people on the edge of the settlement are basically vulnerable groups such as the elderly, women and children, and the disabled.Once a settlement is attacked, whether it is monsters or enemies, the people living outside are the first targets.

This is a common management policy in the last days.

But in reality, this is inhumane.

In the middle of the settlement, where the two main roads intersect, there is a large open space.Next to the empty space is a store that looks like a shop.At this time, there were many people gathered around the door of the store, but there was no quarrel and they seemed to be discussing something.

"Resh, are you going to starve us to death?"

"That's right, hurry up and take out today's food."

"Resh, please, my child is sick and needs medicine urgently."

"What happened?"

"Why not give out food?"

"Lao Lei, did something happen?"

There were about twenty or thirty people, filling the store with water.Inside the store, a middle-aged man named Perlo was explaining something helplessly.

"Everyone, it's not that I won't send it, it's Mr. Pies who said he won't send it for the time being."

"Master Pies?"

"Isn't Lord Driss in charge of the warehouse?"

Chuanhuo looked at this scene and was a little confused. He couldn't understand the NPC's words at all, but they seemed to be arguing.

Is this some kind of dramatic performance?

The model and fluency are always excellent.

"Administrator, what are they doing?" Yuwan asked.

"These residents seem to be asking the person inside why they don't distribute food, but the person inside can't because of orders from above," Tu Shanyao said.

"Huh? Distribute food?" Yu Wan was shocked.

At this time, five or six people came from the other direction. The leader looked a bit similar to Pips, a fat man with goat horns.

"What are you arguing about? Shut that damn mouth, will you starve to death if you don't eat for a day?" The fat goat yelled at the crowd, "What are you doing here? Get back here and let me see you again, I swear. I'll break your legs, cut them into pieces, and stuff them down your throats."

The words of the fat goat were obviously very intimidating, and the nearby residents even started to leave in despair when they saw this guy.

In just a moment, the store entrance became empty.

On the scene, the only people left in the shop were the Pero man Resh, Tu Shanyao, Fatty Goat and others.

"Oh~ damn, there are some idiots who can't understand?" Seeing that there were still people standing here, the fat goat suddenly felt that his face was being provoked, "Go and break their legs."

"Yes."

After the fat goat finished speaking, the five people behind him came over gearing up, with a cruel sneer on their lips.

When Tu Shanyao saw this, he immediately laughed angrily.

As a senior member of the settlement, it is normal for Pies not to recognize everyone. There are 400 players, and Tu Shanyao can't recognize them all just by looking at them.

But is it too much to get beaten just for standing here?

What kind of bully?

"Sir... they... they are new here and don't know the rules very well."

Just as five thugs gathered around, the Pero man in the store quickly bowed and said, "I'll take them to register right now."

As a warehouse manager and distributing supplies to residents every day, Resh can be said to be the person who knows the residents best in this settlement.

These three guys stood here blankly, and they looked like newcomers.

Although he didn't want to talk to Pies, Resh still spoke.

When Pies said break a leg, it would really break a leg.This guy has a twisted personality, works as a villain, forces girls into prostitution, and does everything.

Reish thought over and over again and decided to help. Whether it would work or not would depend on God.

"Wait!" The fat goat suddenly waved and his eyes fell on Yu Wan.

The five thugs happened to surround Tu Shanyao and the three of them. Seeing that Pies opened his mouth, they temporarily took a half step back.

"Ah haha, I'm sorry, Mr. Pies." Reish nodded and walked out, stretched out his hand to hold Tu Shanyao's clothes, "Come on, come with me to register." As he said this, he winked, signaling Tu Shanyao to follow him for the time being. walk on my own.

"Fuck you!" Piers came over and kicked Resh aside without any explanation, "Do I agree? Bedbug, hit me!"

When the two thugs on the left heard this, they immediately stepped forward and prepared to punch and kick Resh.

"You..." Yuwan looked at this scene and couldn't help but want to say something. After the words came out, he realized that he couldn't understand the language.

"Yuwan, don't panic, this is the plot." Chuanhuo on the side said teasingly, "Look at the administrator, he is as motionless as a mountain."

"Hey, stop." Fatty Goat said nervously when he saw Yu Wan. Although he didn't know what he was saying, he probably understood the meaning, "Stop, the little beauty said to stop, so let's stop."

As soon as he heard this, Tu Shanyao immediately knew what was going to happen next.

What a bloody plot.
