My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1463
[1454. Chapter 1431 Repeated testing, the possibility of gaining points!]
At the same time, the three guards who rushed up with Su Mo also encountered the same change.
Everyone looked as if they had seen a ghost.
The moment the steel knife entered the flesh, the blade was contaminated and turned black and gray, as brittle as a carbon rod.
Before they could pull it out, it rotted into the flesh and turned into ashes.
The body fluids of these monsters are extremely corrosive, so it’s no surprise that the blade has been corroded like this, but the wooden handle that has no contact with the blade will also break together. The effect is like a piece of white paper being burned, which changes color in an instant, becomes soft, and falls apart when blown.
No matter who comes here, no one can understand this change.
Fortunately, the number of wolfhounds in the first wave was not large, only eight in total.
As soon as they came into contact, two were killed by Su Mo, and three were killed by the guards. The remaining three could not do anything of value.
Except for the one that was shot at first and was kept by Su Mo for use in experiments, the other two were all hacked to death by the guards who rushed up from behind.
Of course, the price paid for this battle was also heavy, with nine weapons being contaminated.
For the Stone Territory, which does not yet have the ability to mass-produce weapons, this is obviously a huge expense.
“Be careful and don’t come into direct contact with these monsters.”
In order to capture this infected wolfhound for experiments, Su Mo tried several things in succession.
The hemp rope will be contaminated and turned into ashes within five seconds after being touched.
Straw rope, same result.
The iron wire lasted for about twenty seconds, then its hardness decreased sharply and it was contaminated and turned into ashes.
The steel wire lasted longer, taking more than a minute to show a noticeable change in hardness, but it still could not escape the fate of being contaminated in the end.
During the test, the destructive power carried by the wolfhound was gradually consumed, and it died silently.
“I can’t even catch it, I can’t even touch it, it’s really hell!”
After Su Mo conducted a round of tests, he had a deep understanding of the extent of the damage caused by the death tide disaster.
It is indeed not difficult to simply kill these infected bodies. As long as humans with the blessing of the route do not lack courage, it is basically impossible for the infected bodies in the early stage to cause a large number of casualties.
The really hard part is the cost of dealing with these infections.
If we want to eliminate an infected body every time from now on, we will have to pay with one or more standard weapons.
It won’t be long before the major territories are running out of resources and their expenditures are far greater than their incomes.
“Let’s see how much of this thing we can recycle.”
Su Mo signaled Lao Zhang to put all the infected bodies into the store in order to calculate the income and expenditure ratio.
The result was acceptable at the moment.
The recycling price of a wolfhound in the game store can buy about one-third of a weapon.
The recycling price of eight wolfhound corpses is just enough to buy three weapons.
If it is just to make up for the losses, it would be a huge loss. Even if the previously crudely crafted weapons are replaced with forged weapons, it cannot make up for the reduction in quantity.
However, if the currently scarce food supplies were used as a trading medium, and the food that could be exchanged for a wolfhound was used to purchase weapons, then the recycling price of a wolfhound could reach three weapons!
Now these eight wolfhound corpses could buy enough supplies for eighty people to eat for a day.
A huge profit!
However, this is calculated based on the previous ratio.
Now that there are exchange shops and the upcoming autumn harvest, the price of grain will surely continue to drop.
If we cannot find a way to reduce the loss of weapons by then, the offensive and defensive battles with the infected bodies will only get worse.
“It’s not the pollution of the power of destruction, but the power collision between destruction and vitality.”
Su Mo was thinking secretly.
Saying it was pollution was just his subconscious thought. Now that he thought about it, it was actually the result of the dissipation of the destructive force.
Adam once said that starting from the Death Tide disaster, the power of destruction would no longer accumulate in any form.
The same may be true for these infected bodies that carry destructive power.
If you want them to die completely, you have to find a way to eliminate the destructive power in their bodies.
Using vital force to hedge is the simplest and most brutal way.
“Besides this, what other methods are there?”
Just as Su Mo was thinking, he heard the guards shouting at the gate of the village again.
“The second wave of enemies is coming!”
This time, the monster that emerged from the black fog was no longer the ferocious wolfhound, but a three-headed spider.
Its body is the size of a calf, and its several pairs of huge compound eyes on the front are enough to make people’s scalp tingle.
Including the hair on the limbs, they are as long as an adult’s forearm, and they are very scary when blown by the wind.
“Shoot now?”
A group of people looked at each other, and no one dared to go up.
The main reason why the wolfhounds had the courage to go up and chop with cold weapons was that they ignored the wounds, which were not uncommon.
But a mutant spider of such a huge size is unheard of and unseen.
Who knows if it can spit venom or have other special abilities.
“Get out of the way, I’ll do it!”
No matter what the monsters that appear in the early stage of the Death Tide look like, their strength will definitely not be too high.
Su Mo naturally would not miss such a good opportunity for testing. He immediately stepped forward and stunned all the guards.
“Isn’t Boss Ji the military advisor of our territory? Are all military advisors so powerful now?”
“What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go over to provide cover. You are just standing here waiting to die!”
“Even Boss Ji dared to come up, why are you all afraid of him? It’s just spiders, right? Who hasn’t stepped on hundreds or thousands of them to death?”
“Fuck, Boss Ji is a real hidden talent, his skills are not as good as ours.”
Before he could finish his words, the spider above him had been stabbed by Su Mo’s sharp stone spear and was bleeding profusely.
A puff of green smoke passed by, and as the stone spear turned to ashes, the giant spider staggered and fell to the ground and died.
“No, this is much better than ours!”
The guard who was speaking slapped his thigh, and realized that the spider was only scary in appearance, but was actually no bigger than a wolfhound. All his fear disappeared, and he rushed forward with his weapon in hand, howling.
Including Lao Zhang, who was just thinking about how to boost the morale of the troops.
Now with Su Mo leading the way, the bald man also excitedly picked up his weapons and rushed forward.
How could two spiders withstand the chopping of dozens of steel knives?
The group of people seemed to be venting their anger, and soon they chopped the spider until black blood flowed out and pieces were scattered all over the ground.
After the chopping, the group of guards first laughed loudly, and then they all sat down on the ground, panting heavily.
Why are you so tired?
Su Mo was a little surprised. After taking a closer look, he immediately discovered a new change.
The weapon that would be contaminated by destruction before, this time, had no damage at all after chopping the spider!
Whether it is a steel knife or a steel fork, the blade edge is still bright and shiny.
What’s going on?
It was a group of mutant hyenas!
Facing familiar creatures, the guards showed no fear this time.
In addition, Lao Zhang has promised that the person who kills the enemy can get 60% of the supplies exchanged from the store.
Before Su Mo could go up and set an example, a group of people rushed forward excitedly and hacked the hyena to death with their knives.
Su Mo stood at the back and took the initiative to open the Eye of True Vision to observe the overall situation.
Unexpectedly, this look actually allowed him to see something.
Unlike before, when the guards joined forces to fight the enemy, the edges of their weapons actually emitted a faint white light.
This white light cannot be detected by the naked eye and can only be seen by opening the eyes of true vision.
And when the opposing black destructive force covers the white light, both will vaporize at the same time.
This also means that the weapons protected by the white light will not be corroded at all!
“Before, the vitality inherent in the weapon was used to offset the damage. Now, the vitality derived from humans is used to offset the destruction, so the weapon is not damaged.”
“It’s still possible, it’s still possible!”
The destruction and pollution of a single body can actually be offset and distributed by the vitality released by humans!
Su Mo’s eyes lit up, he breathed a sigh of relief, and faintly caught a hint of inspiration.
Before this, he had never thought about the fundamental source of the special survival points, but only had some guesses about how they were produced.
Now it seems that the special survival point absorbed and transformed by the system comes from here?
Human beings need to first have a common goal to pursue, consolidate their beliefs, and promote the outward connection of vitality.
Once this goal is achieved, the vitality of the connection will dissipate and can then be captured by the system as a survival point?
Two questions arose in Su Mo’s mind.
He immediately shuddered and realized that if this was the case, then it would be entirely possible to brush up on the points.
No, it was possible to quickly gain a large number of special survival points!
“Give it a try, if this works you’ll make a lot of money!”
“Special survival points. These are more helpful than the other survival points.”
Su Mo took a deep breath, cleared his mind, and planned to try the simplest elimination test method.
Before this, the main reason why he stayed in the Boulder Territory was to have more survival points.
Now that we have finally found a glimmer of hope in the disaster, we can’t let it go!
Soon, under Su Mo’s care and leadership, the Stone Territory successfully survived the first day of the disaster.
As the ultimate disaster, ‘Death Tide’ is just a code name for the nature of the disaster. Not every ultimate disaster in the game process will have this name.
Just like the previous seven ultimate disasters, the names are different and the forms of their arrival also vary.
With only one common point, the power of destruction will no longer accumulate.
The ultimate disaster that the players on Earth are currently experiencing has inherited some of the rules of the previous death beast tide, causing all major territories to be regularly impacted by destructive infected bodies.
The manifestation of this is what the Giant Stone Territory has experienced. A warning of destruction appears at a certain location in the territory, followed by a steady stream of infected bodies appearing and impacting the territory.
Given the size of the Stone Territory, the game gave a hint that one only needed to withstand forty-nine waves of impact in the first month.
If calculated this way, there are less than two waves per day.
The nine waves of attacks on the first day also meant that there would be no more attacks in the next few days.
As for the Tianyuan Territory, Su Mo, as the lord, also received a prompt from the game panel.
In the first month, Tianyuan Territory had to withstand a total of 499 waves of attacks.
However, with the huge firepower reserve, the ninety-nine waves of offensive on the first day ended even faster than the Boulder Territory.
The operation started at 8 o’clock and the area was cleared before 8:50. It was a one-sided massacre.
Early the next morning.
Eight o’clock.
Su Mo was eating breakfast when suddenly he had a thought and the system panel automatically opened and appeared in front of him.
He quickly switched to the daily report panel and saw the changes in the special survival points.
The small balls that had accumulated for several days and half a month had a huge increase in number just yesterday, and the accumulated number reached a terrifying 18%!
The growth rate reached 13%, which converted into points is a full 260 points.
“Done!!”
Su Mo was so surprised that the bun in his hand almost fell to the ground.
The watery, bright white liquid ripples back and forth in the small ball at the special survival point, which is very pleasing to the eye.
According to the point rules, the more than 200 points exchanged are equivalent to the purchasing power of the previous 3,000 points!
And considering the universal use of special survival points, the actual value must be far more than 3,000.
However, in contrast, he did not do anything earth-shattering yesterday.
In addition to leading a group of people to repel the attack of the death tide, he also led the entire territory to repair two defense facilities specifically against the beast tide.
This can give more than 200 special survival points?
“It seems that my guess is correct!”
Su Mo felt much more relaxed after looking at the daily report panel.
The sources of the other three survival points have been determined, but the source of the special survival points has not yet been verified.
Now, we have finally tested the complete channels and methods for obtaining it.
These special points come not only from people, but also from beliefs.
Open the Eye of True Vision and lead everyone to repair the defense facilities.
The unprecedented unity made every heart connected together. Su Mo could see wisps of brewing white mist appearing above everyone’s head, connecting together, like a big umbrella covering the village.
At that moment, everyone had the same goal.
Survive until the end of the game.
As the person who made all this happen, the system gave him the proper reward.
Or rather, this was the reward given to him by all the villagers!
As for why he hadn’t discovered it before.
When in Tianyuan Territory, Su Mo was afraid of exposing his identity and attracting too many survivors, so he did not show up in public for many things and left them to people with relevant expertise.
For example, the construction of a territory is handled by multiple departments including the Engineering Department, the Construction Department, and the Logistics Department.
These people then assigned the task layer by layer to a certain construction team.
Such a simple task did not bring together a common belief or goal. Now I think this is the reason why we were unable to obtain survival points.
This also caused Su Mo to fail to discover this anomaly and fail to obtain a large number of special survival points.
Now that he finally got the chance, Su Mo’s heart was suddenly filled with anticipation.
It is not convenient for the human god Su to show up in public.
But Boss Ji is different. He can display all his methods in a high-profile manner.
As long as the rise is fast enough, no one will doubt it.
Even if you have doubts, there is no way to verify the hypothesis.
“Looks like it’s time to do something big!”
