Apocalypse Lord - Chapter 70
Yunling gave an order, and immediately flames flew, hitting the branches and burning the branches.
He Rong fell from the air and was about to fall to death.
A figure sprang out like lightning, caught the person and landed safely.
The Dryad BOSS was furious and wanted to catch the prey again.
Yunling led the soldiers to block the attack, and the assassin took the opportunity to take He Rong to evacuate the front line.
“Are you okay?” Pang Yu stepped forward and asked with concern.
Only then did He Rong discover that more than one person did not wear a facial mask. Behind the team, more than 20 people were sitting or standing, waiting for the end of the battle. It’s just that the figure was blocked by trees before, so he couldn’t see it.
“It doesn’t matter to me.” He glanced around and asked hesitantly, “What are you guys?”
“My name is Pang Yu. I am a member of the collection team.” Pang Yu raised his chest and said proudly, “They are a combat team, and everyone has a different division of labor! They meet the BOSS, and we meet the materials.”
He Rong was envious, “It’s great to be sheltered by a big team.”
Unexpectedly, Pang Yu said immediately, “If you want, so can you.”
He Rong was extremely surprised, “Me?”
“Right!” Pang Yu said quickly, “Bring your own travel items, turn in 30% of the collected items, and keep 70% of them for yourself. In case of distress, members of the combat squad will rescue them unconditionally.”
He Rong asked, “What if the combat member moves slowly, and there is no time to rescue him?”
Pang Yu: “Then it will be cold.”
He Rong, “…”
Pang Yu is plausible and sells Amway. “It’s hard to make games like this. Do you still expect to go out 100% safe? It’s better to come out with a team than to act alone.”
This is true.
He Rong thought for a while and then asked, “What if a member of the collection team steals the materials?”
“The head of the team said, if someone is not honest, he will be kicked out of the collection team the next day, and the cooperation will be cancelled.” Pang Yu said bluntly.
He Rong, “…”
So simple? No need to collect evidence?
“Think about it, is it a good deal to be with the group, or is it cost-effective to be with the group, or to be trembling all alone, while collecting, while always preparing to escape.” Pang Yu said sternly, “If you really don’t want to, it’s okay if you don’t join. When the team returns to the city, we will Take you back.”
Such a good thing is a fool who doesn’t quickly agree to it!
Thinking of this, He Rong resolutely said, “I am willing to join.”
While talking, the Dryad BOSS was killed. In addition to an orange skill card and two orange equipment, he also obtained purple equipment, blue equipment, blue skill cards, white equipment, copper coins, and several materials.
Yunling picked up the dropped items and distributed them one by one.
After processing, she walked to the vicinity of the resource point and signaled the player to start collecting.
At the same time, some NPCs were sitting on the ground and some NPCs were on duty, apparently intending to take turns to rest.
**
After a while, He Rong realized that he was in a very good team.
Whenever he heard someone calling for help, the group leader Yun Ling would definitely lead the NPC to the rescue.
Some of these people were as lucky as him, were successfully rescued, and joined the collection team on the spot.
Some luck is just a bit short.
Seeing that the reinforcements were about to arrive, the BOSS was about to be charged, but it was not able to hold it in the last few seconds.
When they arrived, the player ran out of blood, his neck crooked, and his eyes were completely closed.
Pang Yu is okay, at most feeling that this person is too unlucky.
However, He Rong felt chills in his heart–when saving him, if the team arrived one step later, maybe he would end up like this.
Thinking of this, I became more frightened and didn’t want to leave the team.
“The members of the collection team stay in place and wait, and the members of the combat team come forward with me and kill the boss together!” After speaking, Yunling rushed out first.
While acting, I was thinking in my heart, I don’t know how many surviving players are left at the end of spring.
**
For the vast majority of Lingyun City players, the night is a time for rest and celebration.
People who have worked hard for a day sit and chat, reduce shopping, and play cards for entertainment, so that the next day will have the courage to continue struggling in the apocalypse day after day, with no clear prospects.
However, today, there is a dull atmosphere in the territory, without the laughter and joy of the past.
A half-year-old boy was crying, “Going out, the wooden spear is ruined, the belt is torn, the sandals are lost, how can I live in the future!”
“What’s this?” A young man next to him sneered. “Fifteen people went out in a group, but three people came back. The mortality rate was as high as 80%!”
“Can we be miserable?” Another person panicked, fingers trembling lightly, “Going to the mine to dig, but the only exit was blocked by three BOSS. More than twenty people, except me, have no one’s life!”
“Fishing in a mountain stream, I accidentally met two BOSS drinking water, five teammates disappeared in the blink of an eye!” Another cried.
“It’s all BOSS, I haven’t encountered an ordinary monster, hell!”
Residents spit out bitterness, and the celebration suddenly turned into a miserable meeting.
What makes everyone even more desperate is that this is only the first day of the new year.
“Natural selection of things, survival of the fittest.” Leng Baiben thought of inquiring about the night market. Hearing the residents’ complaints, there was a clear understanding in his heart. “Evolution in the wrong direction or slow evolution will all be eliminated.”
“If you don’t have a skill, if you don’t hone your combat skills in the first year or two of the game, and try your best to improve your level, in the third year, players will only become prey and be hunted down by the BOSS.”
“Only those who evolve faster than monsters can we find a ray of life.”
Hearing this, the residents’ hearts were shaken, and they were speechless for a long time.
A player deliberately refuted, but he thought about his own situation a little bit, and what he wanted to say suddenly swallowed his stomach – this person was right, he was not strong enough, and he might not even be able to get out of the safe zone gate in the third year. If you didn’t save enough possessions in the first two years, you would either die of thirst and starve to death in the territory, or walk out of the territory and be killed by the boss.
It is too difficult to survive the spring.
“For the strong, BOSS is not a hindrance. On the contrary, killing BOSS can get purple equipment, orange equipment, a large number of copper coins, and countless materials, which just fill the team warehouse.” After the cold white, another person stood up and said. truth.
In other words, it is only the weak who are bothering their brains.
Even advanced life players will not worry too much. There are so many powerful combat players in Lingyun City, and there will always be people who need to make advanced equipment/props.
As soon as the words came out, the whole room was silent.
Most of the residents look ugly, and a small number of people are composed and not in a hurry.
Yun Ling stood in the crowd without making a sound.
Everyone present, no one understands how grim the current situation is better than her.
In just one day, the population of Lingyun City decreased by 400! This is the first large-scale attrition since the establishment of the territory.
If this rate is maintained, it will not take long for the number of residents in the territory to be halved and then halved…
Thinking of this, Yun Ling’s voice was neither high nor low, and muttered, “Will the weak unite and dozens of people go out together? Just like last year’s monster siege, rely on more people to crush the mobs.”
“It’s easy!” Someone immediately ridiculed, “Last spring the players were willing to unite because there were system guards watching them. If one fails, they will be blacked out and kicked out of the territory!”
“Going out in a group, without the supervision of the system guards, who knows if teammates will stabbed in the back? If a team dies until only two people are left, and they say that the other party killed the team, who do you believe or not?”
“You said that this idea is not good, then you can do it for you?” Yunling is indifferent, “low-level players are almost dead when they act alone, what’s the matter if they try to join forces? Can’t you find some trusted players as teammates before teaming up? ”
“Hey, you guy…”
The opponent still wants to say something. There are already people around who are showing thoughtfulness, “It’s okay to try, it’s always a way.”
Seeing their heartbeat, Yun Ling retreated and quietly left.
**
Starting from day 252, players have spontaneously formed a team.
Small teams expand into large teams, lone wolf players abandon the game concept, in order to protect their lives, they have chosen the best to join.
Among them, some teams never came back after going out. But there are also some people who go out during the day and come back at night. More than that, he had an uneasy expression before going out. When he came back, he grinned and his face was full of smiles, which was obviously rewarding.
On the other side, Yunling looked at the territorial panel and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, “The rate of attrition has slowed down.”
On the 251st day, the number of residents dropped by 400.
On the 252nd day, the number of residents decreased by 267.
On the 253rd day, the number of residents decreased by 180.
After 50-70 people were lost every day, the situation was finally brought under control.
**
The 256th day.
Standing on the border of the territory and observing for five full days, the family was about to run out of food, Gao Shuo finally made a decision.
Alternative No. 1, the team size is not small, there are forty-five people. However, according to his observation, the death rate is too high. The rate of change of members is extremely fast, with more than a dozen new faces appearing almost every day.
Alternative No. 2, a total of 33 people, almost no casualties when going out every day, but more than half of them are relatives and friends. I heard that the safety of the group is guaranteed, but the distribution is suspected to be unfair.
Alternative No. 3, a team of 39 people, with 3-5 people cut every day. The advantage is that the distribution is fair, and the dropped items are distributed completely according to the contribution.
To be honest, Gao Shuo really hesitated for a while between No. 2 and No. 3.
No. 2 is safe, but it is not convenient to save a family.
No. 3 is relatively dangerous, but as long as you have the ability, your income can be greatly increased.
Gao Shuo thought about it. He felt that his abilities were above average and he should join the No. 3 team to give it a try.
“Fortunately, I have a good memory and I am good at recognizing faces, otherwise I can’t recognize them.” Gao Shuo made up his mind and was full of emotion.
“Fortunately, there is a lot of food. Don’t rush to join the team, or join the Tuan Mie team, there is no place to cry.”
“Five days, most of the unreliable teams have been wiped out. The wait is worth it.”
**
The so-called miserable meeting means that as long as someone is more miserable than me, life can barely survive.
Before connecting to the Internet, the Bizarre Conference could only be held in the same territory. After being connected to the Internet, the Belarusian Conference has become a national movement.
“Finally, I saved six bandages, and I ran out of them when I went out, all! Use it! Use it! It’s all! Guiqiu for more recovery items.”
“After unremitting efforts, I finally made myself poor… Do you need game materials? As long as you speak, I will help you to collect them!”
“Does anyone need a wooden stick? It’s not expensive, one is only 20 copper coins.”
“Where can I sell steel knives? I bought them at a high price! Wooden ones will be bitten by the boss, and metal ones are durable!”
Some people are asking for equipment and props; some are trying to find work for themselves, risking their lives to earn hard-earned money; some are selling at low prices, disrupting the market.
The market was in chaos, and personal messages popped out one after another, as if someone was contacting her at all times.
Yunling replied in a unified way, “The materials are limited, and the daily output of equipment and props is limited, so it will not be sold to the outside world for the time being.”
