Apocalypse Lord - 77. Locust plague 2

The 312th.

You Qingwen bought several pieces of new equipment for the team members and took them out to level up.

Someone murmured directly, “Didn’t our regiment cultivate a hundred pieces of farmland? Why go out desperately? Isn’t it good to stay in the territory and take care of the elderly?”

You Qingwen asked, “With the old style of the game, will you easily pass the level?”

The man immediately stagnated and was speechless.

“I always feel that the game will not end easily.” You Qingwen’s expression is solemn, “Take advantage of the time now, practice more levels and increase your physical strength, so as not to change.”

Zheng Mingyue nodded, “I think so too.”

Now that the head and deputy heads have said so, the members no longer object.

A warrior wore a cape of fire feathers, a murloc belt on his waist, and boots on his feet. At the moment, he was full of energy and radiant.

The female mage next to her murmured to herself, “I have never played a game until I feel sick… the end of the natural disaster is done.”

There was a hint of helplessness and despair in the words.

You Qingwen gave a light cough, “There are still autumn and winter seasons, everyone hold on. Think about the ice, think about hot pot, think about the happy life in a fat house.”

The members refreshed and felt that they were greatly encouraged.

Seeing them cheer up, Zheng Mingyue chose a direction and strode forward.

No words all the way.

For fifty minutes, except for the trees and grass, the same crop was not seen along the way.

You Qingwen felt heavy, “No wonder everyone said that there was a serious shortage of food in the third autumn. Before going out, I thought they were deliberately exaggerating.”

After coming out, I found out that the facts were not exaggerated at all, and the situation was even more severe than they described.

“The resource points are invisible, and the locusts are not there. Where should I go next?” You Qingwen thought.

“Look over there!” The team suddenly exclaimed.

You Qingwen was slightly startled. Looking at it, I saw dense locusts surrounding the bushes. In the blink of an eye, he ate the berries.

“It’s no wonder that no food was found, it turned out to be eaten by locusts!” The members slandered.

“Be vigilant and prepare to fight.” Zheng Mingyue said solemnly.

The locust quickly noticed the presence of the player.

After eating the bushes with no scum left, they swarmed towards the player.

“It’s just right.” You Qingwen raised her staff, “Poisonous fog.”

As soon as the voice fell, a large dark green poisonous fog appeared on the road that must be passed.

Poison Mist is an A-level skill, coupled with You Qingwen’s first-class equipment and super high attack power. The locust fluttered inside for a few seconds, and immediately fell to the ground and died.

Five seconds later, the poisonous fog disappeared, and the locust continued to rush forward.

With a rough glance, You Qingwen knew that there were at least two to three hundred.

“Meteor shower!”

“Ten thousand arrows are sent!”

“Extreme ice field.”

Group attack skills are constantly thrown out.

The soldier saw the opportunity, smiled, and rushed into the locust swarm with his shield.

The fire was shining, and the locusts around were injured by fire spells and died one after another.

The warrior waved his shield and smashed the mobs that had jumped on his body and bit the equipment. After several attacks, the special effect of the Murloc Belt was triggered. The wave emerges, attacks the mobs, and causes water spell damage to the locusts.

After a few minutes, the battle ended.

Seeing the skyrocketing experience, the soldier felt very relieved, “Cool!”

You Qingwen raised her eyes and asked, “How much is the durability of the equipment?”

The soldier was taken aback, and quickly checked. After seeing the numbers on the panel, his face turned white, “Fire feather cloak durability is 63/70, murloc belt durability is 66/70, and combat boots durability is 68/70.”

You know, the equipment was bought yesterday, but it is brand new. Who knows that there was a fight today, and the durability fell down…

“Sure enough, locusts are extremely difficult to deal with and consume a lot of equipment.” Zheng Mingyue had already expected it.

He walked to the dropped items and sorted them while picking them up, “Copper coins, sweet potato seeds, rice seeds, white equipment… berries? Sorghum noodles?”

“How can the food drop when killing the locusts?!” Zheng Mingyue was inexplicably surprised.

Recalling the scene before the confrontation, You Qingwen guessed, “Could it be the crop that I ate before? There is a certain chance that it will fall after killing the locusts?”

“It’s possible.” Zheng Mingyue picked up all the dropped items and found that a total of berries*8, sorghum noodles*5, and rice*3 were harvested.

Although it’s not much, it’s a profit at any rate.

“Let’s go, continue to brush monsters and upgrade.” Zheng Mingyue waved his hand, and the team set off again, marching into the distance.

**

In addition to the fire feather cloak, murloc belt, combat boots, and ice banner, there are actually other props/equipments that can play a similar role.

for example–

【Name: Cold Iron Armor (Equipment)】

Quality: Rare

Durability: 70/70

Wearing effect: physical strength +10.

Special effect: Inflicts 3 points of ice spell damage to surrounding enemies every second.

The equipment is made of cold iron ore, and the output is not high.

Another example-

【Name: Xuan Iron Rod (Equipment)】

Quality: Rare

Durability: 70/70

Wearing effect: Strength +12.

Special effect: When attacking, there is a 30% chance of triggering the C-level group attack skill “Sweep”.

The black iron rod is made of black iron ore, and the output is lower.

Equipment is scarce and materials are scarce, so the finished product will not go high in theory. However, a variety of formulas and blueprints are on the battlefield, and the total amount of equipment/props produced in the end is not a lot.

In this way, the locust disaster problem will be solved.

Looking at the various products on the shelves of the system store, Yunling felt a sense of pride.

At this moment, several messages popped out.

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: Big brother, help! ! 】

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: I am short of life skills talents here, I have materials but no equipment, help! 】

Yunling calmly replied, “Old rules, you produce materials, I produce technology, and the finished product will be divided into half by then.”

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: No problem! 】

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: What materials does the boss need? Just make a list to me. 】

Yunling: “Wait a minute.”

She put the required materials together, and then sent them to the other party.

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: Received. 】

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: I will check the inventory immediately! 】

Yunling was about to close the panel, but the other party sent another message.

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: By the way, is there a water system mage in Lingyun City? The kind with C-level “water polo” skills? 】

Yun Ling was puzzled, “What do you mean?”

Without saying a word, Zhao Xintong showed the equipment attributes.

【Name: Sapphire Ring (Equipment)】

Quality: Rare

Durability: 70/70

Wearing effect: Intelligence +10.

Special effect: When attacking, there is a 40% chance that the C-level single attack skill “Water Polo” will be converted to the C-level group attack skill “Tide”.

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: The sapphires and drawings obtained by fishing boats out fishing. 】

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: Unfortunately, Xintong Town does not have so many water-based NPC wizards, and the equipment is not available. 】

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: If the boss has a demand, let’s exchange it. 】

Yunling: “Change it.”

“One for one, you can exchange any equipment.”

“Lingyun City not only has water-based NPC mage, but also water-based players, so I won’t be in need of it.”

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: That’s good, I will arrange manpower to do it. 】

Yun Ling said again, “I have also caught sapphires by the fishing boat here, but I didn’t get the drawings. I will give you the sapphires later, I will produce the materials, you will produce the technology, and the finished product will be divided in half.”

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong:! ! ! 】

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: Didn’t the boss paint the drawings? 】

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: It doesn’t matter! Having me here is equivalent to getting the drawing! 】

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: What a good day is today! Finally have the opportunity to raise the boss! 】

Looking at each piece of news, Yunling unconsciously showed a slight smile.

field.

Lu Chuan was walking through the woods.

“Chacha.” A strange sound came from a distance.

Lu Chuan turned around and found a swarm of locusts coming towards him.

Without a rush, he took out three ice flags from his brown leather backpack and inserted them in the shape of “Pin” beside him.

Because the flag-planting locations are relatively close, the attack range overlaps.

Standing in the overlapping area, Lu Chuan took out the bursting arrow from the orange quiver and fired calmly.

With a loud “bang”, more than 20 locusts fell.

Taking the arrow and shooting it again, there was another loud noise, and more than 20 locusts died.

Taking out the bursting arrow for the third time, the locust swarm had already flown in front of him and surrounded Lu Chuan.

It was too late and then soon, a white light flashed on the surface of the Frozen Flag. In the next second, there was a layer of frost on the locust, and it was obviously damaged by ice spells.

Some mobs have been hurt more than once. Before approaching the player, the blood in the stool was exhausted and fell to the ground.

Lu Chuan took the bursting arrow and waited patiently for a while. When the blood volume dropped significantly, he shot a special effect arrow to the place with the most monsters.

In an instant, more than 30 locusts fell and their blood volume rose sharply. At the same time, many locusts were injured by ice spells and fell silently to the ground.

The battle ended very quickly. One minute later, all five or six hundred locusts were wiped out.

[Congratulations to players for upgrading. 】

[You get 3 free attributes, which can be allocated at will. 】

The system prompts to pop out in due course.

“Unfortunately, once the Frost Flag is inserted, it cannot be taken out. Otherwise, the level will rise very quickly if you carry the Frost Flag while walking and spawning monsters.” Lu Chuan sighed secretly.

While thinking about it, he could vaguely hear the peculiar “chacha” sound.

Stopped and looked into the distance, only to find another wave of locusts coming.

As soon as the battle was over, there was another attack. For ordinary players, it is not only troublesome, but also very dangerous.

However, Lu Chuan was not surprised and rejoiced, “It’s just right!”

After spawning monsters twice, the props were finally not in vain.

**

The 313th day.

Early in the morning, Yunling received news from players from other territories in City S.

[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: Look at the materials on the list. 】

[Linden Tree Town-Ho Rui: Fire Crow Feather*32, Ice Silkworm Ice Silk*26, Flame Lion Leather*6, Murloc Shark Yarn*14, Cold Iron Ore*24, Mystic Iron Ore*18. 】

Yunling checked one by one and found that the number of items was correct, so he agreed to the transaction.

The exchange is complete.

[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: Your price is really cruel…]

[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: Ask for two materials, only one piece of equipment, and the net profit is 100%. 】

Yun Ling: “Technology monopoly is just so awesome.”

Yun Ling: “Free trade, never persecute.”

Yun Ling: “If it is too expensive, you can find someone else.”

[Lime Tree Town-He Rui: Besides you, where do I know other advanced life players! 】

[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: Make good use of materials and must clear customs. 】

[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: I take it as a contribution to all mankind. 】

Yunling laughed, “Okay.”

Just after the conversation was over here, someone came looking for it over there.

[Osmanthus Town-Ding Wenxuan: Osmanthus Town’s allies can’t hold it anymore! Request support, request support! 】

Yun Ling told him bluntly, “Don’t save, go to death calmly.”

【Osmanthus Town-Ding Wenxuan: …】

Yunling: “The game is cleared, time goes back, and then you will be a hero again.”

Yun Ling: “Since you can’t hold it, don’t hold it hard.”

[Osmanthus Town-Ding Wenxuan: You are cold, you are ruthless, you are making trouble without reason! 】

Yun Ling: “I have to prepare strategic materials for the team, the more the better. There are no items that can be used to relieve the rest of the players, just like none.”

“Want simple bandages, high-quality bandages, restorative food, and purple rare equipment? Yes, change the materials.”

“There is no free lunch in the world.”

Reach the clearance conditions, go back in time, and everything will be restored to before the game started. So what is there to hesitate? Of course it is to concentrate strength to strengthen the defense of Lingyun City.

Other players toss with them, anyway, whether it is alive or dead, they will be fine after the game is over.

Therefore, Yunling simply refused, without feeling guilty at all.

[Osmanthus Town-Ding Wenxuan: Actually, I just yelled twice. If you deceive the material, you will deceive, and even if you can’t deceive it. 】

[Osmanthus Town-Ding Wenxuan: You are so hard-hearted, it seems hopeless. 】

[Osmanthus Town-Ding Wenxuan: Forget it, the list is sent to you, let’s trade normally. 】

Yunling, “…”

Most of the surviving players have some special abilities to survive until now. For example, the one in front of him is particularly shameless.

**

High-level, strong, and well-funded teams will go out as usual, and low-level and weak players will honestly nest in their territory.

They planted seeds near Lingyun City, and then sent special guards, hoping that the crops would be harvested and the food problem would be solved.

One day, two days, and three days passed, and the seeds grew vigorously without encountering danger.

The members take turns to rest, guard, and go fishing in the sea, barely making a living.

On the 316th day, the fifth day of seed sowing, a group of locusts kept approaching the territory.

“Enemy attack!!” The player shouted loudly, while throwing the throwing skill of the skill, and the arrow of the arrow.

The territory guard spotted the enemy and walked quickly to the place of engagement to help.

Some life players have average combat skills, but have long-range skills, and follow the skills and help output.

In a blink of an eye, the locusts suffered an extinction, and those who died could not die again.

The planting team was overjoyed and couldn’t help but thank, “Thank you, thank you everyone for your help!”

A passerby mage picked it up and dropped it, and his eyes showed the color of thinking, “Bring the locusts to the vicinity of Lingyun City, let’s hide in the territory and output, so it is very convenient to fight monsters! It is safe and can be picked up and dropped, and Opportunity to harvest game materials.”

Hidden in the territory to put skills? They are familiar with this job! The residents’ eyes lit up and they were moved.

**

In the corner of the territory, a team of twenty people is struggling to dig.

[You are trying to reclaim farmland in Lingyun City xxx, xxx coordinates. 】

[Whether to pay 300 copper coins to purchase land ownership? 】

[Note: After the farmland is reclaimed, players can cultivate without paying taxes. 】

The head clicked “Yes” without hesitation.

Then he turned around and solemnly promised, “The farmland is purchased by everyone, and it is considered as a common property of the team. It is currently under my name. When the crops are harvested in the future, I will ask Aunt Zhao to prepare three meals a day, and everyone will eat together.”

Hearing that, the members didn’t care, “Everyone sees how the head of the team is like a person on weekdays. Knowing that you can trust it, there is nothing to worry about!”

“Hey, just a game. As long as the advanced players survive, it doesn’t matter if our little shrimps die.”

“They are all brothers who have experienced the test of life and death, and no one doubts their own brothers.”

“Say good fortune and share, and troubles together. Either live together until the end of the game, or starve to death together, whoever sneaks is a dog!”

The members laughed and joked, and didn’t care about it at all.

The head of the group felt hot, “Then continue digging!”

“I’ve inquired about it. In previous years, on harvest days in autumn, crops can mature in 5 days. On disaster days this year, it will take 10 days to harvest a crop.”

“Since it’s not in time, you can only buy more land. At least 30 fields have to be cultivated to feed the entire team.”

The members responded, “Okay! Let’s start work!”

**

The 317th.

【Lingyun City has 1,000 farmland. 】

[The farmland of the territory has reached the upper limit and cannot continue to be cultivated. 】

“The number of another type of buildings has reached the upper limit.” Yunling gleefully closed the news.

Since learning that the Doomsday Scourge is just a game, the mentality of the residents has improved many times than before. Equipment, props, items, and materials will no longer be hoarded, and occasionally there will be surplus, which will be sold out at a stall.

On the other hand, as the summer ends, mountain streams and streams reappear outside the territory, and drinking water is no longer a problem.

Coupled with the collective brainstorming, sowing seeds outside the territory, attracting locusts to approach the territory, and then besiege, for a while, the residents’ small life is quite moist. There is no need to worry about food and clothes, and there are new equipment replacements.

“At the end of autumn, there is only the last winter.”

Residents are looking forward to it day by day, and finally one day, winter is coming.

**

The 341th.

Last night, Yunling was full of anticipation and could hardly fall asleep. The next day, just after 8 o’clock in the morning, she woke up leisurely and couldn’t wait to check new tips when she opened her eyes.

[Congratulations to the players for successfully passing the third year of autumn. 】

[You get a clearance reminder. 】

[Defend the safe area and eliminate all mutant ants in the city. The game ends early. (Currently kill 0/10000)]

Yunling, “…”

Yunling, “???”

She was stunned, unable to recover for a long time.

In the next second, a red dot appears on the map in the lower right corner, representing the enemy’s trail.

At this time, the red dots are all over the S city, and they are fairly evenly distributed.

In a daze, the red dot moved slowly. Looking at their direction, it is clear that they are going to the four surviving territories in S City!

“Is the last season a duel of species? If humans want to survive, they must eliminate mutant ants?” Yun Ling calmed down quickly and began to analyze.

However, before he had time to think deeply, he was bombarded by news.

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: There is only one safe zone in Xintong Town in City F! All the red dots on the map are moving towards the territory! 】

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: Day, what do you want to do in the game? 】

[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: Are you awake? Did you see the system prompt? 】

[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: The nearest mutant ant has arrived in Lime Tree Town and is currently fighting with the territory guards. 】

[Lime Tree Town-He Rui: According to observations, the mutant ants move extremely fast and attack extremely high, like the top assassin boss. 】

[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: But it has high defenses, heavy blood volume, and extremely difficult to deal with. With the territory guards and players, more than 30 people can barely suppress it. 】

[Lime Tree Town-He Rui: The mutant ants react too fast! Many attacks have been avoided and very few hits. 】

After the news broke, He Rui seemed to join the battle, too busy to find time.

After about five minutes, the news from Linden Town came back.

[Lime Tree Town-He Rui: The mutant ant was killed, and nothing dropped. The territory personnel are undamaged, and the HP of the protective cover is -600. 】

[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: Individuals are so difficult to deal with, what if they attack together. 】

[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: By the way, how about Lingyun City? Can you keep it? ! 】

Customs clearance conditions-at the end of the third year, the number of survivors in any service area is ≥1, and the number of players surviving is ≥100.

Reach the customs clearance conditions, go back in time, and restore everything to before the game started.

Therefore, He Rui didn’t care whether the players in Lime Tree Town were alive or dead, and whether their territory was breached. All he cared about was the status quo of Lingyun City.

Lingyun City is here, customs clearance is expected, everyone will be fine.

Lingyun City is broken, there is no hope of customs clearance, and all mankind has to perish.

During the news interruption, Yunling quickly got up and walked to the border to investigate the situation.

On the map in the lower right corner, there is already a red dot approaching Lingyun City.

Outside the territory, mutant ants are attacking the shield.

It was not until he saw it with his own eyes that Yunling understood what “moving extremely fast” means.

The mutant ant pulled out the afterimage and wandered around the outside of the protective cover.

The archer tried to take aim, but as soon as the arrow was released, the target was no longer in place. In the end, they could only shoot around with their eyes closed.

At this time, “automatic tracking” began to show its power.

When the others were aiming with a bitter face, Archer Geng only had to sullen his head and let go of his arrows. After the arrow is shot, the system automatically pursues it and hits almost 100%.

Yunling glanced at him and made a decisive decision, “Use group attack skills!”

Single attack is easy to dodge, but group attack skills are not so easy.

As soon as this word came out, all NPCs immediately followed suit.

The player hesitated for a moment and saw that the mutant ant was hit by countless skills and died on the spot-the NPC hired by Yunling not only had high attributes, good skills, and well-equipped equipment. These people have super combat power, even more powerful than the surviving players. Once let go of the attack, the mutant ants will of course not escape.

At the end of the battle, the panel displays, [Defend the safe zone, eliminate all mutant ants in the city, and the game ends early. (Current kill 2/10000)]

According to Ho Rui, the mutant ants died and nothing fell.

The news popped out one after another, almost swiping the screen.

[Linden Tree Town-He Rui: How is Lingyun City? Reply when you have time. 】

[F City-Xintong Town-Zhao Xintong: Fuck! 10,000 BOSSs followed suit and besieged Xintong Town. This will definitely be over! 】

[Osmanthus Town-Ding Wenxuan: See the ghost! 】

[Osmanthus Town-Ding Wenxuan: I thought winter would be Eternal Night + Ice Age, but I didn’t expect it to be warm winter + mutant ant raids. 】

[Osmanthus Town-Ding Wenxuan: As long as the force value is lower and the number of players is smaller, it can’t stand it! 】

[Osmanthus Town-Ding Wenxuan: Everyday! Dogs than the game just want the player to die! 】

[Osmanthus Town-Ding Wenxuan: Not much nonsense, we will try our best to delay and do everything we can to kill the ants. Lingyun City hold on! 】

Yunling replied to He Rui, “It’s fighting. If the other territories hold on for a long time, the pressure on Lingyun City will be less.”

Replied to Zhao Xintong, “The four safety zones in S city are also very tricky.”

Reply to Ding Wenxuan, “Hold it, the longer the better.”

The message had not yet been replied, when a new mutant ant arrived, and without a word, began to attack the territory shield.
