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

Without paying any more attention, Tu Shanyao summoned a phantom and headed towards the Bude settlement. The incident between the two scouts during the day made him very uneasy. There might be something fishy inside.

At night, the sky is hidden in the branches of trees for reconnaissance. Occasionally, there are wild monsters passing by and you can practice leveling.

"Huh? What?"

It seemed that something had passed. Tian Tian rubbed his eyes, "What the hell?"

???

Am I blinded again?

In the snowy night, the snowflakes passed through Ying Yao's body and fell to the ground.

Old Man Bude's residence was still brightly lit, and there was no way to get in.

Old Hope in the settlement was preparing to close his stall. It was snowing, so he went back to drink a glass of fruit wine to warm himself up.

"Hope, I need a pound of red leaf tea and a pound of fruit wine."

"Palter, what good things have you done?" Hope envied the guy in front of him. Originally, everyone started following the master from scratch, but he became the warehouse manager. He drank some fruit wine and had to pay for it himself. .And the guy in front of me carries his hands behind his back all day long, acting like a fox and a tiger, giving orders everywhere, not to mention how comfortable he is.

"A good thing? Hope, you are overthinking it." Pelt snorted, "This is a gift to the Pips settlement."

"Gift? Why?" Hope asked subconsciously, "Oh man, let me ask."

"Hmph, you still can't change this problem. The master thinks the Weixi Lake idea is a bit tricky and wants to recruit Pips to join the team."

"Troublesome?" Hope sneered inwardly. When did Bude start cherishing the lives of his men?

"Judging from the intelligence obtained by the scouts, there are close to 60 male survivors coming in and out of the settlement every day." Papert seemed to be very patient, clasping his hands behind his back and letting the snowflakes fall on his shoulders, "60 men, if every household One, then there are at least 60 people in the household. With our strength, if we forcefully swallow it, our mouths may be stabbed.”

Xuying stayed aside and listened to the conversation between the two. Tu Shanyao suddenly realized, was this how the other party calculated the number of people?However, this data is wrong, because most of the players are male, so they will see that all the people coming in and out are men.

Is this... a passive empty city strategy?

But this also led to more serious consequences.

Old man Bude seeks alliance.

Hey!

Tu Shanyao couldn't help cursing in his heart, damn it!

In this way, the situation becomes worse.

Facing two settlements, the odds of winning plummeted, especially the Pips settlement was a large settlement.

"There are so many people in the emerging settlement?" Hope was putting the wine into the container one spoon at a time.

"They should be migrants coming from the north." Painter said, "It's too cold in Siberia, and winter came early this year."

"Why didn't the master unite with the Saluzzo settlement instead of choosing Pips?" Hope placed the bottled wine and tea on the counter.

"Hope, hum! You guy."

"Well, I really should talk less." The corners of Hope's mouth twitched, "I hope there will be more labor this winter."

Saluzzo settlement?

This name made Tu Shanyao's heart move, and he thought of a guy with a great personality.

After getting the wine and tea, Papert went straight back to the house. Judging from his plan, he should wait until dawn before taking action.

The shadow couldn't wait so long and had no choice but to return to the gathering place.

Tu Shanyao actually wanted to follow Pilot to find out the location and information of Pips settlement, but the shadow was too obvious in the snow during the day.

"Hey! Swordsman Tower?"

"Hello? Huh?"

Tu Shanyao felt someone calling him next to his ear, and quickly paid attention, "Maria? What's wrong?"

"A player is looking for you."

A moment later, in the hall.

"Administrator, that's what happened." Mo Yun was a little excited. He came all the way back and entering the gathering place felt like returning home. The wilderness at night was too crazy and scary.

"Okay, I understand." Tu Shanyao said, "You can choose to organize the exploration on your own, or receive rewards for exploring the big map."

"Choose the former and you will get three natural days of exploration rights."

"Choose the latter and you will give up your first priority right to exploration."

Mo Yun did not hesitate, "I choose to explore on my own."

It would be too much of a loss just to receive the reward for discovering a copy. Who knows what is in an unknown copy.

After the little player left, Yelena happened to come up from the elevator.

"Swordsman Tower~" She didn't know why, but every time she saw the Swordsman Tower, she felt very peaceful in her heart, just like a gathering place under the moonlight.

"Candy, aren't you taking a rest?" Tu Shanyao was a little surprised. Why is Yelena online now? It's midnight at her place.

Yelena's pretty eyebrows twisted slightly, "Uh-huh... I was offline in the afternoon..."

"Oh~! Also, Swordsman Tower can call me Yelena." When she said this, her eyebrows slowly widened.

"Are you offline again?" Tu Shanyao walked over and looked at her expression carefully, "Why are you shaking?"

"I..." Yelena sniffed, "I'm fine."

The coldness from the depths of her soul has affected her game character.

My body is obviously not cold, but it still feels like winter.

"follow me!"

Tu Shanyao held Yelena's hand, feeling a little distressed. Damn ore disease, how can he help her?

The Warlock's cabin where he brought her.

Light the brazier, close the doors and windows, and the temperature in the house begins to rise.

In fact, Yelena's body is not cold, but her heart and spirit are cold.What she needed was this kind of substantial flame to dispel the coldness in his soul.

The light of the flame represents warmth.

In the quiet night, the two of them sat together and warmed themselves quietly by the fire. Elena gradually felt the chill in her heart dissipate a little.

"Don't think about it." Tu Shanyao added a piece of firewood, "The more I think about it, the colder it gets."

"Yes." In Yelena's heart, Tu Shanyao's suspicious elements gradually disappeared and he became a friend who could talk to her heart-to-heart. "Thank you."

"Thank you." Tu Shanyao smiled, "By the way, have you ever thought about what happened before?"

"Are you talking about leaving the integration movement?" Yelena blinked, and the brazier was reflected in her clear eyes. "We are now like this brazier, which has been ignited and there is no way out."

"Why not?" Tu Shanyao took a deep breath and said, "Don't you think that the Tallulah you described is not the same person at all?"

"What do you mean?" Yelena looked at him.

"Have you ever heard of the term concept god?" Tu Shanyao said, "It is said that some evil guys will take away her will."

"Concept God?" Yelena wrote down this word and prepared to ask Patriot after going offline.

"In short, it's the kind of collective consciousness that harbors evil thoughts." Tu Shanyao didn't say much, just making some insinuations.

The wooden house became quiet except for the sound of burning firewood.

Yelena felt the temperature of the flame on her skin, and her spirit gradually relaxed.

"It must be very tiring to keep fighting against the disease and enduring the pain, right?" Tu Shanyao's tone was like that of a friend he has known for many years, expressing concern from the bottom of his heart.

"..." Yelena pursed her lips and her eyes flickered.

"Want to take a rest?" Tu Shanyao moved the small bench closer, "Here, I'll lend you my shoulder."

"Pfft~" Yelena, who was slightly touched by the previous sentence, was amused again when she heard this sentence. She gently reached out and patted his shoulder, "You are very good at it, Swordsman Tower~"

In the middle of the night, Yelena went offline.

Tu Shanyao walked around the gathering place and looked at all the current environment carefully.

The tavern that traps your monkey is almost finished, and the construction progress is nearing completion.

Brother Xiang's brick kiln has been upgraded again. Not only has it been built into a super large kiln, but the original small kiln has also been expanded.

Brick kilns and steel plants will all be moved outside the valley in the future.They occupy a large area and have noise pollution, but it doesn't have much impact now that there are few players.

Zakujun's wood workshop was expanded twice, and the wood chips left over from production were purchased by the brick factory. The finished arrows and wooden shields were sold to players, and a small amount of furniture was sold to taverns and wooden houses.

The equipment store has also been expanded, using a structure with brick walls and wooden roofs. Maria's workbench and tools are all inside to avoid wind and snow.

The jewelry store in the middle has not changed. The production and sales of clothing are currently balanced, and the daily revenue is hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

Dog God's contribution points have almost exceeded 1500 due to the accumulation of daily tasks, and preparations are underway to build a research laboratory.

Electric wires are connected between each building. There is a wooden pole supporting the wires at regular intervals. Electric lights are installed on the top of the poles to temporarily serve as street lights.

The whole gathering place showed a prosperous scene.

I looked up at the heavy snowfall falling from the sky. Tomorrow I would have to add a snow clearing routine to my routine.

As we passed the entrance of the valley, there was a thumping sound coming from outside the wooden wall.

Tu Shanyao curiously walked out of the ajar door and found a player loading sharpened wooden thorns into the dug pit.

"Administrator!" Although this player is called a lazy dog, he is still working in the middle of the night.

"It's so late, why don't you rest?"

"I still have some game time, so I'm going to practice more skills."
