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

Putting the helmet aside, Brother Xiang opened the official forum on his mobile phone and started editing his own posts.

Soon, a post titled "Shocked, a new dungeon entrance appears in the Scourge Wasteland" was posted.

The original poster, Box Brother, described his experience of being killed in battle, and then made some guesses.

Brother Box: "Near the oasis, there is a half-open retractable door. It is definitely a copy."

"I just don't know how difficult it is."

"If anyone wants to explore, it is recommended to bring more sensitive teammates."

"The monster there, from what the administrator said, seems to be called Needle Sao."

"It has four flexible lower limbs that are very hard and extremely sharp."

Silvis: "New copy? Underground?"

Siberian Express: "Wow wow wow, I really want to go in and play!"

Mammal Catcher: "You got impaled? How did it feel?"

Brother Xiang replied from the building: "How should I put it? It's very painful, but the pain becomes blurry after I wake up."

Dr. Qixiao: "Wow, I'm so scared."

No.20 Qiye: "What are you afraid of? This is completely real. This is the charm of the game."

The posts are full of water friends who have not entered the game, and they are full of curiosity about everything inside.

Outside the gathering place, a film man looked at the wooden wall in front of him in surprise.

Several guys who spoke a language he couldn't understand were surrounding him, chattering incessantly.

Soon, a young man walked out of the door.

"Bruce?"

Tu Shanyao was surfing the Internet on his computer in the administrator's room. A young player ran in and reported that there was another stranger outside. Hearing the news, he rushed out immediately.

Surprisingly, he knew the guy surrounded by several players and was a resident of the Bude settlement.

After staying there for a year, I still know a lot of people, and there are a few people I can talk to, and the Bruce in front of me is one of them.

Seeing this guy, Tu Shanyao felt a little complicated. Now he had to get in touch with the Bude settlement.

People always miss the old because new things bring unpredictable changes.

The matter in front of him was something that Tu Shanyao could not predict.

Not to mention that he knew Bruce, even if he didn't know him, he wouldn't be able to kill him directly. There's no reason for that.

After much deliberation, Tu Shanyao decided to let nature take its course. As the number of players increased and the development process accelerated, it was inevitable that there would be communication or friction with nearby forces.

there is always a solution to a problem.

"Yao?" Bruce's eyes lit up when he saw Tu Shanyao walking out of the door.

When the surrounding players saw the administrator approaching, they all moved out of the way.

"Oh my God, you are still alive?" Bruce had some joy in his eyes, "We all thought you were dead. You haven't shown up for so many days, and your shed has been demolished."

"Just tear it down!" Tu Shanyao said, "Don't worry, I'm pretty good now."

"What...is this place?" Bruce asked, "A new settlement? Have you settled here?"

"That's it."

"Congratulations to you no matter what," Bruce said, "I finally got rid of that vampire."

Old Man Bude was a Caprini, who was secretly nicknamed a vampire by the residents because he was too exploitative.

082 Population is also a resource

"Bruce, are you here to hunt? Or scavenge?"

"It's time to spend the winter." Bruce's expression changed slightly, and the joy in his eyes disappeared, replaced by more sadness, "I must save more resources."

Tu Shanyao nodded. He knew that Bruce's family had a family of five, but only Bruce and his father could provide labor. His mother had to look after the house and take care of her two young siblings.

The younger brothers and sisters who were born during the catastrophe are only twelve or thirteen years old now.

Bruce's father, Edward, once served in a church in a city in northern Rutland. When the disaster occurred, he used all means to save his family of five.

Fortunately, their family survived, but in the last days, it would be very difficult to feed a larger population.

"Isn't there more prey in the snowfield in the north? Those wild boars are all in the caves, but it's much better than in the south." Tu Shanyao tried to persuade him to leave here.

"Yao, you know, the snowfield in the north is almost reserved by Zarik's family." Bruce said, "It would be good if the adventure can be rewarding, I would rather face the sea monster."

In the eyes of the local people, especially the survivors, sea monsters are extremely scary. They have experienced the catastrophe, so they understand how powerful those terrifying monsters are.

Bruce has a very keen eye, and after paying a little attention, he can see that the guys who surrounded him before have a very different attitude towards Yao. They seem to be...very respectful?

But these things are not the focus. The focus is today's prey. If there is no harvest, this winter will be difficult.

Old Hope issued a winter collection order to all residents, and all residents must pay corresponding supplies on a per capita basis.Wood and minerals are very simple, but prey is difficult to obtain.

It would be great if I could pick up a pure source stone.

Bruce was already fantasizing internally, like a desperate man who starts praying for his last two dollars to win the lottery.

"I wish you good luck, friend." Tu Shanyao didn't want to expose the situation in the gathering place.

"Thank you." Bruce seemed to have thought of something, "Oh, by the way, Shirley, he has been looking for you."

"Send her a message for me, saying she's fine now."

Shirley is a [-]-year-old girl in the Bude settlement, and she has some interest in Tu Shanyao.But he didn't have much idea. He had traveled through time and encountered the apocalypse, so he really didn't have much to think about anything else.

Bruce turned around and left with a crossbow. Since there was a settlement here, there must be no prey around.

Watching Bruce leave, Tu Shanyao remained silent. He originally wanted to ask Bruce not to mention his affairs here when he returned, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say it.

Suddenly saying this, it feels a bit like there is no silver 300 taels here, which can easily arouse suspicion.

Although Bruce, a guy like me, could talk to him in the Bude settlement, he knew people well but didn't know their hearts. Who knew what the other person was thinking.

"Administrator, who is that?"

"Residents from the nearby settlement." Tu Shanyao said.

The settlement next to it?Updated with new forces?

Was the plot just now an introduction to the new forces?

Players are beginning to look forward to it. Whether they are enemies or allies, new forces and new maps are always players' favorite content.

In the middle of the Bude settlement, inside the cave.

A middle-aged man who looked like a servant quickly came to the door of a room equipped with plumbing pipes.

"Master Bude, there is new news."

The room was very bright, and the light from the incandescent lamp fell on the smooth floor, reflecting a fat man sitting on a recliner.

"Say." The tablet in Bude's hand, a fat man, was still flashing, as if playing some intense sport between the two.

"To the southwest, there is a new settlement."

"Oh? Emerging settlement?" Old Man Bude clicked pause and then locked the screen, "Where did the news come from?"

"The eldest son of the Zarik family discovered it while hunting in Beiyuan." The middle-aged man lowered his head. "He found a few unfamiliar faces on Yeboar Slope. He followed them all the way and discovered the emerging settlement."

"Isn't there a Haihe stronghold in the southwest?" Old Man Bude frowned, "The tracking has not been discovered, right?"

"Zarik said it was definitely not discovered. It's just north of Lake Weixi, very close."

"North of Weixi Lake?" Old Man Bude looked fat, but he was very shrewd. "Why would someone build a settlement near Haisi's stronghold?"

"Paert, is there a wave of goods delivered to Warren Mud today?"

"Yes, sir." The middle-aged man, Pat, was very respectful. He knew that the man in front of him who looked like a potbelly was actually a devil.

"You go with me this time." Old Man Bude said, "Bring some gifts and ask for news about that settlement. Do you understand what I mean?"

"I understand, little one." Pate nodded, bowed slightly and stepped back.

Of course Mr. Bude understands that in the last days, resources are very important, and population is a resource of extremely high value.

The residents in the settlement are all workers of Master Bude. Oh no, those people are just cattle and horses, and he is the only one who is qualified to be called a worker.

Gathering place in the valley.

Patchline came to the door of the administrator's room. He was about to knock on the door when the door opened.

"Master Administrator!"

"Patchline, what can you do?"

"It's like this. I want to build a simple steel-making furnace." Patchline said, "I heard that I can apply for land and establish a company, right?"

A steel-making furnace is actually an iron-making furnace, and the carbon content determines whether it is steel or iron.

"That's true, but the applicant must be a citizen."

"Citizen? I understand."

"However, if you are willing to accept my investment, you can skip this step."

"invest?"

"There is a detailed contract here, you can take a look." An electronic contract was sent to Pachiline's mailbox by Tu Shanyao. "If you think it is okay after reading it, come to me."

Patchline immediately read it quickly. He had no objections to the contract. It was like tricking you into a monkey. He thought it was a good thing to have an administrator as a backend.

"No problem, Administrator."

"Okay." Tu Shanyao said, "The contract takes effect immediately and the funds have been entered into the company's account."

Patchline opened his player panel and found the unnamed company he applied for in the store column.

After thinking about it, he named his steelmaking plant Bengbu Steel Plant. Bengbu is the name of his hometown, which has some commemorative significance.

The melting point of iron is more than 1400 degrees. As long as this temperature can be reached, scrap iron can be smelted into molten iron, and then molds can be used to make what is needed.
