My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1440

[1430. Chapter 1410: Strange changes, black rain is coming!]

Today, with many adjustments, many places are no longer the same as when Su Mo first established the territory.

For example, in a territory of one year, in order to make the implementation of the territory system smoother, the game will restrict the citizens from leaving the territory at will. Once it exceeds twenty-four hours, their physical fitness will continue to decline until it drops to half.

However, as most humans moved from the deep sea to the New World, more and more territories were established, and routes were launched, this route was silently abolished in an update.

For example, the establishment of a territory requires at least one thousand people, and the main shelter must reach level three.

This requirement also disappeared from the restrictions with the update after the last plate split.

It is now very easy to establish a territory.

First, the core of the shelter.

Second, pay five hundred disaster points.

Third, no more.

There are only two simple requirements, which can be met by almost every survivor who wants to establish a territory.

However, correspondingly, the demands on the surface are decreasing, while the demands on the covert are increasing.

It is very simple to establish a territory now, but the prices of various functions attached to the territory have doubled.

Even the routes that were previously free now require a territory of one thousand people and a payment of five thousand points to open them in order to prevent survivors from repeatedly rebuilding territories and brushing rare routes.

Therefore, when Lao Zhang set up a sampan to recruit survivors, everyone’s first reaction was naturally to question.

“No buddy, are you kidding me? You’ve come all the way here and you want to build your own territory?”

“This is outrageous, family members. This guy actually dared to touch the emperor’s head. He must be tired of living.”

“It’s open, is there anyone who wants to bet on when his territory will rot?”

“Rotten? I suggest you bet on when it can be rebuilt.”

“Hahaha, that’s too mean. Look at this brother’s face, it’s so dark.”

“.”

There were constant mocking voices and looks of horror everywhere.

However, what surprised Lao Zhang was that there were many people in the crowd who supported him.

“There are always crazy people. I admire this brother’s courage. If your territory can really be built, I have nothing to do anyway, so it’s not impossible for me to help out. Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to provide me with food and accommodation.”

“Well said. Instead of waiting in line here, it’s better to make preparations. You who are laughing are worse than them, right?”

“Sir, do you need workers? My route is a construction apprentice, I can work for you!”

“Brother, can you tell me the location of your territory so I can remember it? It’s only a few days away. If I’m still not there in two days, maybe I’ll go and join you.”

“.”

The ratio of people who mocked to those who supported was about 82. This high ratio made Lao Zhang secretly happy.

And the most important thing is that he caught a glimpse of many supervisors who looked very similar to those who saw that day. These people were actually listening around and had no intention of interrupting.

This move undoubtedly boosted Lao Zhang’s confidence, and also verified the Golden Eagle’s attitude towards someone building a new territory in the surrounding area.

As long as these people have no objections, all his subsequent actions will not be restricted.

As expected, the subsequent recruitment went extremely smoothly.

The plainclothes guards responsible for maintaining order even helped, driving away some people who were deliberately causing trouble.

It took less than half an hour for Lao Zhang to pick out fifty survivors who looked diligent from his supporters, and everyone squeezed into the big sampan and floated downstream.

The treatment is very simple, with only food and accommodation provided.

Moreover, Lao Zhang did not explain clearly what they would eat and where they would live, but for the survivors now, no one cares about this.

Even if what was served was an unknown ‘tenacious creature’, everyone would be able to eat it crunchily without batting an eyelid.

After leaving the main group, Lao Zhang turned his head as usual and made eye contact with the plainclothes guard on watch again.

This time he found that the coldness in those people’s eyes had disappeared a lot, and was replaced by a puzzled look.

It seems like envy, and also like sighing.

“Boss, this group of people is really lucky. I even suspect that he has an informant among us!”

“Nonsense! The order from the higher-ups just came down this morning. How could he react so quickly?”

“Survivors are allowed to build their own territories in the surrounding area and are provided with basic assistance. These people are really lucky. To be honest, I am also thinking about going out and building a territory myself.”

“You, with your little money, you would probably go bankrupt if you hired fifty people to work for a day, right?”

“Haha, Captain, I just said that, why did you take it seriously?”

“Stop talking nonsense and stay alert. What if this guy finds out that we are here and plans to take people away to cause trouble? We will definitely be in trouble next time.”

In the sky, layers of dark clouds were moving quietly, and it was about to rain.

In this somewhat depressing environment, the water community inevitably becomes restless, like a lake gently stirred by the breeze, with ripples everywhere.

Shouting and cursing among the survivors could be heard everywhere, with some even cursing the Golden Giant Eagle Territory.

The group of plainclothes guards felt heavy-hearted, as if they were shrouded in an invisible pressure, and soon shifted their gaze away from Lao Zhang.

Stone Village.

A group of foreign survivors were discovered following the path that Lao Zhangshun had explored last night up the mountain. The informant arranged by the Niu brothers changed his expression and hurried back to inform everyone of the discovery.

The Niu brothers stood in the yard with uncertain expressions. After a while, they finally sighed.

“It seems like these guys are serious about this. I didn’t expect that we have been waiting here for such a long time and no one has the courage to build a territory. These guys were able to make up their minds after only one night of investigation. They are extraordinary.”

“Maybe he’s just a fool?”

A man replied subconsciously, but after he finished speaking, he found himself being stared at coldly by others.

If Lao Zhang had come to the village to look for someone in the morning, it might really be a young man.

But after only a few hours, he was able to bring a group of survivors from other places up the mountain. If such means and courage can be regarded as foolish, there would probably be few normal people in the wasteland.

“What about those guys in the village? What do they think?”

“They are all waiting for us, one by one.”

“Okay, let’s wait until after today. I want to see what they are up to.”

The weather is not good.

Lao Zhang had just led his men up the mountain to survey the territory and set up a location when the gloomy sky seemed to be punctured and heavy rain poured down.

There were no raincoats and the roads on the rocky mountain were slippery, so everyone had to hide in the cave to avoid the rain.

But soon, someone noticed the unusualness of the raindrops and couldn’t help but cry out.

“Come and see, the rain is actually black, just like ink!”

“What, black rain, how is that possible?”

“Hide inside. This rain is very strange. Don’t get wet.”

The first disaster the players encountered when they first crossed into the wasteland taught everyone a lesson.

Don’t touch anything you are not clear about.

Especially for rainwater, you can tell it’s abnormal just by looking at its color. Wouldn’t it be a death wish to touch it with your skin?
Lao Zhang quickly directed people to go inside the cave, and at the same time arranged for people to pad the entrance of the cave with cut weeds to prevent rainwater from flowing back in.

But what was a little strange was that when the black raindrops fell on the ground, whether it was mud or stone, they seemed to be absorbed and quickly disappeared.

What’s going on?
“It’s raining, it’s raining, cousin, it’s raining outside!”

After working all night, Su Mo was still catching up on his sleep when Luo Xiang rushed in from outside, howling.

Luo You subconsciously wanted to curse, but as his eyes passed through the door that was suddenly pushed open, his eyes froze in an instant, and the anger on his face was replaced by astonishment.

The sky was blue in the morning, but now it seemed to be torn apart by an invisible force, leaving a hideous black wound.

The dark clouds were gathering like the mouth of a giant beast, ready to devour everything.

From this giant mouth, black raindrops filled the sky like the devil’s tears, falling densely and silently, interweaving in the air to form a huge black curtain, covering the entire world.

These raindrops were unusual. They were as dark as ink and so deep that they seemed to swallow up all light, carrying with them an indescribable weirdness and heaviness.

It seemed like some deep wail of nature, or the manifestation of some evil force.

Every drop of black rain seemed to carry some unknown curse. It hit the ground hard, making a dull sound. The air seemed to become heavy, making it difficult to breathe.

Luo You’s pupils suddenly shrank and he couldn’t help but widen his eyes. He had never seen such a strange scene before, and an indescribable fear surged in his heart.

“Lord Jiji, something happened, something happened outside!”

There was obvious panic and urgency in Luo You’s voice. He didn’t care about anything else and quickly reached out to pat Su Mo’s shoulder, trying to wake him up from his sleep.

The current situation is completely beyond his understanding, and the only person he can rely on is probably the mysterious man beside him.

However, he forgot that with Su Mo’s usual alertness, he should have woken up when Luo Xiang just came in. How could he still be sleeping soundly now?

Soon, the next discovery made Luo You feel cold all over, as if his blood had frozen.

Su Mo’s body was as heavy as a mountain, as if it was firmly bound by some invisible force, and it did not respond to his shaking and shouting.

Luo You was shocked and increased the strength of his hands, but Su Mo remained motionless, as if he had been frozen in a cold storage for many days, emitting a biting chill.

“What’s going on?”

Luo You was shocked and reached out his trembling hand to feel the pulse on Su Mo’s neck.

Fortunately, although it was very weak, it was at least still beating steadily.

Luo You made a prompt decision and looked at his son and daughter, no longer caring about the threat of the black rain outside.

“Luo Jiao, quickly go get all the cardboard boxes and light a fire.”

“Luo Xiang, come and help your cousin. He seems to be sick. We have to warm him up quickly!”

The cold feeling not only did not ease as time went by, but instead became worse.

Luo Xiang touched it and realized that something was wrong, so he and Luo You quickly moved Su Mo from the folding bed to the side.

It is hard to imagine that a living person can become as stiff as a popsicle in broad daylight.

If it were a normal person’s physique, this temperature would have chilled them to the bone, leaving no chance of survival.

It was not until the fire rose that Su Mo’s stiff body relaxed a little, and the continuously falling body temperature was curbed and began to rise slightly.

However, when Luo You subconsciously touched it and placed his warm hand on Su Mo’s forehead, he felt that he was not touching a human body, but still a stone covered with ice and snow.

“What’s going on? Why is the temperature of the head still dropping?” When the situation got to this point, Luo You’s voice began to tremble and he almost started to cry.

In his past and present lives, this was the first time he saw a living person turn into an ice stick in front of him.

If he hadn’t firmly believed that anything was possible in this strange world except ghosts, he would have definitely suspected that the house they lived in was unclean.

Wait,
continuing to touch Su Mo’s forehead towards the side, Luo You suddenly discovered that the skin seemed to be covered with a thin film.

The film originally fits the skin very well, but under the influence of continuous low temperature, the film also hardened and the edges bulged a little.

It turns out it was really a disguise?

Although Luo You had determined early on that Su Mo’s ordinary middle-aged face was a disguise, he did not feel excited at all now that his guess had been verified.

“You two go to the door first and come in when I tell you to.”

After thinking about it, Luo You decided to take off the mask, at least to rule out the possibility that the cooling was caused by the mask.

But he was careful and instructed the two children to go out first.

According to Su Mo’s usual personality, if he took off the mask and revealed a scarred face, he would definitely not want to expose it directly to the two children and ruin his cousin’s glorious image.

“Alas, it’s already this late, and it’s still unclear whether the person can survive. What am I still thinking about?”

Luo You smiled self-deprecatingly and squatted down. As the door closed, he raised his right hand and gently peeled off the peeling corner of his forehead.

His movements were very slow, as if he was caressing a beloved object, afraid of damaging it in the slightest.

boom.

A muffled thunder sounded, and flashes of lightning lit up in the dark clouds, illuminating the slightly dark room.

Plop.

Suddenly, there was a sound of someone falling to the ground in the house. Luo Xiang and Luo Jiao outside the door subconsciously wanted to rush in, but at the last moment they remembered Luo You’s instructions and forced themselves to hold back.

About ten seconds later, Luo You’s roar rang out in the room.

“Quick, come in!”

The door opened and Luo Xiang rushed in, only to see that Luo You’s face was extremely pale, as if he had seen something incredible.

His lips were still trembling and his hands were shaking uncontrollably, but his movements did not change at all. He quickly tore off his upper body clothes and pressed Su Mo’s forehead tightly against his chest, trying to use his body heat to raise the temperature.

This is a very embarrassing posture, but now it makes people feel a little uneasy.

“No, the temperature is not high enough. It’s far from high enough. Go find the Niu brothers and buy firewood from them!”

“But it’s still raining outside.”

The black rain was still falling, and it seemed full of malice.

However, to the surprise of the two children, Luo You was terrifyingly determined at this moment.

“No buts.”

“If you don’t save your cousin, everyone will probably die. Go quickly!”

“go!!!”
