Time flies, time still flies like an arrow, and the sun and moon still fly by.

Sometimes time seems to pass very slowly, but when it really passes, you will find that it is surprisingly fast.

Before you know it, one month has passed since the first batch of survivors were rescued.

It's April, and using the Earth's calendar, it's about the end of the New Year.

However, I don’t know if all Earth players have become accustomed to the wasteland. Nowadays, there are almost no discussions related to it even on the World Channel. Some sporadic ones are quickly dismissed by discussions, and not many people care at all.

.

But then again, for most survivors.

really.

In the continuous fatigue and busyness, in the endless labor and migration day after day, and in the hardships and dangers one after another.

It is no longer within the capabilities of normal people to think about how to remember life on earth.

As the saying goes, it is better to be a peace dog than a chaotic person.

After nearly a year and a half, another great migration involving more than two billion people has gone through.

In all corners of the New World, gaps have officially emerged in the lives of survivors.

The northeast coast of the New World, the giant tree root sea area.

Although the three major gangs were completely destroyed and tens of thousands of gang members were tried and disbanded, the living environment around the sea area is no longer as bad as before.

However, due to the arrival of migration waves, the number of people has inevitably decreased.

In the past two months, the number has dropped from 800,000 at its peak to less than 300,000.

"Brother Bao, how many people have been arrested today? Look at how busy you are!"

Sitting in the security team station that was already beginning to take shape, Zhang Long quickly stood up and greeted Bao Lei with a hearty laugh when he saw Bao Lei coming back with a dark face.

Since ancient times, any place with a high frequency of population movement has been unable to escape the consequences of chaotic public security.

Nowadays, the large and small inns along the coast of the New World are naturally not exempt from this custom.

Many survivors wanted to familiarize themselves with the terrain before leaving and replenish a wave of supplies from their friendly "neighbors." Even though the security team had stepped up patrols several times, they were unable to solve the root cause of the problem.

And as the situation worsened, the amiable "neighbors" also showed their true colors.

Many people were fishing in Jiang Taigong, looking weak and waiting for these impulsive people to come and kill them.

It was 'reasonable self-defense' anyway, and there was nothing the security team could do.

So once a fight breaks out, Bao Lei now handles it in a very simple way, and captures all the survivors.

"Lao Zhang?"

Seeing Zhang Long, Bao Lei's expression softened a little, but he still couldn't hide his bad mood today.

Now the water prison of the security team has been expanded and expanded, and an additional rectification labor camp has been added outside, which is enough to accommodate 2,000 people.

But even so, the number of vacancies in the cells continues to decrease.

If the dozens of people arrested last night were put in, I'm afraid it would be close to full capacity again.

"You know, spring is coming soon, and those guys can't stand it anymore."

"Too."

Zhang Long stood up, the two shook hands and sighed at the same time.

In winter, because of the weather, we didn’t dare to head rashly to the interior of the New World to look for opportunities.

But if you don’t leave as spring approaches, you won’t be able to catch up with the next spring planting.

Most of the survivors had only accumulated food supplies in the deep sea for half a year. Without the next supply of supplies, they would have returned to the same embarrassing situation they had just traveled through the wasteland a year ago.

"That's what I came here for today. After staying in the giant tree root sea for so long, it's almost time for us to set off."

"Why, why do you want to leave so suddenly?"

Bao Lei was slightly surprised.

It should be said that before Chen Shen arrived, there was still a layer of separation between the security team and the tundra fleet, and they only dared to test each other.

So after Chen Shenlai secretly interviewed Lu Yongyi, the barrier between the two parties suddenly disappeared.

Especially after he confirmed that behind the security team was the Tianyuan territory he was looking for, the human Su Shen.

As the captain, Lu Yongyi could only lament that fate was playing tricks on people.

It's like there is an invisible tie, fate has always connected Tundra and Tianyuan.

"It's not sudden. We have been preparing for a long time since we broke with those old guys."

Zhang Long responded with a smile.

The conflicts between the major factions of the Tundra Fleet have already been at loggerheads at sea.

Now that we have come to the New World, the situation is getting worse day by day, and people are clamoring for separation every day.

However, Lu Yongyi did not kindly tell those guys about the connection between the security team and Tianyuan Territory.

Naturally, splitting is perfectly normal.

"Are you going to go directly to the territory?"

"I have this idea, but we have to wait and see what the next disaster will be."

After chatting and laughing all the way, the two of them came to the station's restaurant and sat down.

The sharp-eyed chef quickly took out the prepared meals from the cupboard and set half the table.

It happened to be lunch time, so Zhang Long didn't refuse and simply sat down to eat together.

In a sense, the two parties have become a good family now, and the previous unfamiliarity is naturally no longer necessary.

"This is the first Ten Thousand Paths Competition. How many people in your tundra want to participate?"

Bao Lei took a few mouthfuls of rice and suddenly raised his head and asked.

Zhang Long was stunned for a moment, and then nodded honestly: "More than 90%, the disaster was postponed this time because of the conflict. Naturally, we have to send people in to have a look, but most likely they will just accompany you for one round. After all,

Without the support of routes, it would be too difficult to climb the rankings.”

"Actually, it's not much better if you have route support. It's not like fighting. It's not a fair competition."

Bao Lei burped and showed a somewhat envious expression:

"Having said that, those rewards are really coveted. If ordinary people can get them, they will definitely become famous."

"It's not just a blockbuster, it's something that attracts everyone's attention."

"The top epic route, even if the major territories lose their heads, they will definitely not give up on the person who finally gets the reward."

The two of them sighed to each other, and it would be a lie to say that they had never imagined that they would get the final reward.

Since fourteen days ago, the game announced the first round of "Ten Thousand Paths of War", delaying the arrival of the next round of disaster.

Similar discussions continued throughout the New World.

As the highlight of version 4.0, no one thought that this battle would come so fast, so that about 70% of the survivors have not yet joined the territory and have route blessings.

However, those with route support do not have much advantage, as Bao Lei lamented.

A fight over ten thousand paths is not a fair duel.

As the first round of trial battles, participants will compete in a '1v1' format from the moment they enter to the elimination of the main match. Only after 99% of the participants have been eliminated will they enter the '1vN' competition format.

During this period, the two people fighting may be a 'cook apprentice' and the other a 'construction apprentice'.

The competition may not be about who can cook or build a house, but a randomly selected topic.

It may be to make a handicraft that meets the requirements within a limited time.

It may also be that you are facing an enemy siege, fighting all the way, and finally breaking out of the siege.

Since this is a trial experience, death in the first Ten Thousand Paths Battle is not a real death. The game will directly remove survivors when it is determined that their lives are in danger, or directly trigger leaving when survivors themselves apply.

Of course, you may suffer some injuries in the process, but compared with the rewards you may receive.

Injury is already the smallest price to pay for a small gain.

In this battle, as long as you can win the next round, you will directly receive the participation award.

Improve the level of one route.

Survivors who don’t have a route don’t have to worry, the game will automatically save the opportunity and trigger it after getting the route.

Starting from the second round, victory points will be accumulated for each victory.

Points can be used to purchase various items in Wanjing Mall.

Or it can be buff effects that can be applied in battles, or survival materials that can be brought out to the real wasteland.

There are many kinds, no fewer than thousands of them.

The most outrageous reward is even the "finished territory". After using it, you can directly obtain a building complex that can be placed on the spot, which contains a series of buildings for living, production, and training.
