My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1508
[1499. Chapter 1476 Nuclear winter, the beginning of despair!]
To sum it up in one sentence:
Human beings always die from inexplicable pride and arrogance.
“Although I also know that species are diverse and we cannot expect every species and every creature to have the same ideas, there are really very few races of strange creatures like you humans in the universe. There are only a few of them among hundreds of billions of races.”
“And you are obviously only related by race, there is no deeper blood relationship, and no cultural influence, but when it comes to certain key decisions, you can make exactly the same thing. The more I think about it, the more confused I am!”
Adam sighed helplessly.
Ever since he confirmed that this was the last game session in the Giant Mountain Star Domain, he became somewhat anxious.
My previous carefree attitude has disappeared, and sometimes I get so nervous that I become neurotic.
During this six months, Suma could clearly feel the changes taking place in Adam.
But he had no way to comfort the other party. After all, for the current human beings on Earth, it is still uncertain where to go.
“I don’t know whether you can succeed this time, but you have to understand one thing. Even if you have a 100% advantage, the aliens must have the means to instantly reduce these advantages to zero.”
“Don’t believe it.” Adam didn’t say the word, but pointed to the sky.
Obviously, after so many years, he has completely seen through the true face of “Wei”.
On the surface, the game seems extremely fair, and both humans and aliens have a chance to win.
But in reality, the behavior displayed by “Wei” is that of a madman with a flexible bottom line and who acts recklessly.
He didn’t care about the so-called selection, and he threw out the ticket to fulfill a certain purpose of his own.
There is nothing wrong in following Wei’s idea in the short term, but when it comes to the decisive moment, some precautionary measures must be taken if necessary.
“I’m already preparing. If he continues to let the aliens use those unconventional means, I will choose to fight to the death!”
Adam said in a serious tone, without a trace of joking in sight.
He is telling the truth.
If the alien gods dare to use extraordinary means such as sacrifice again, or directly send in something that destroys the balance, then his world consciousness will also provide help to humans of the same standard.
If Wei asks about it afterwards, the worst that can happen is that both sides will be punished and both sides will take back the help they have given.
This is what true fairness is!
“Calm down.” Su Mo’s face became serious. “Now is not the worst time yet. I don’t want to leave the gambling space and hear the news that you blew up the wasteland.”
“I’ll try my best, I promise!”
Adam’s answer made Su Mo’s eyelids twitch, but in the end he didn’t comfort him any more.
There was no other way. What was the worst case scenario?
He would definitely die in the fight. This fight would be a complete failure, and humanity would be on the countdown to its end.
If this is the case, then Adam’s detonation of the real wasteland can save the human beings on Earth a lot of suffering.
But if he could successfully win the first gambling fight and let Adam see hope, his current state of distress would surely be eliminated immediately, and there would be no need for any extra words of comfort.
“Well, I’m leaving. See you in a year!”
Su Mo stood up and brushed off the non-existent dust on his body.
Everything that needed to be said had been said, and arranging any additional farewell ceremony would seem both redundant and pretentious.
Furthermore, this gambling fight has clearly stated that there will be no danger to life, and all one needs to do is surrender at the critical moment. This also makes almost all the survivors who enter the gambling fight space feel relaxed.
“Let’s go, I’ll take you on your last journey!”
Adam also moved his fat body and stood up, then he let out a long sigh towards the sky.
As Su Mo opened the game panel, he chose to enter the gambling preparation space.
[Record]: Confirming the readiness status, the prompt sound of the game being transmitted
rang out, and a black and white light suddenly surged around, quickly swallowing up the original charm of the space inside the cauldron.
After just a few seconds, the area around the stream was rendered into a void of darkness, as if it had entered the abyss, which was basically the same as the special space where they had entered the copy before.
A strong repulsion came over them, and the two men’s feet suddenly became empty, and then became solid again.
A long and narrow light tunnel appeared in the darkness, leading far into the distance, probably about four or five hundred meters long.
At the end of the light stack tunnel, a colorful wave of water blocks the view.
Adam raised his hand and tapped the ground lightly, and the two of them immediately fell into the light tunnel and appeared at the end.
Behind the water waves is the scene of this gambling fight.
Ordinary players will never have this kind of treatment, and they will be personally sent to the door by the world consciousness.
Most people feel dizzy and then wake up to find themselves in a gambling world, which is considered Adam’s mercy.
More often than not, Adam’s normal approach would be to just throw it in roughly.
“Remember to come back, I’ll be waiting here to pick you up.”
“good!”
Su Mo nodded, took a step forward and entered behind the water waves, his figure slowly disappearing into the void space.
And the moment he entered, wonderful changes began to occur in the surrounding space.
Rays of blue light began to converge rapidly on the ground, and soon intertwined and merged into a vast ocean.
The waves are crashing and the sea breeze is blowing, as if the whole world is surrounded by this blue.
A warm feeling came.
The sun began to rise in the sky and clouds began to float by.
Su Mo lowered his head and was surprised to find that he was standing on a piece of land surrounded by sea water.
Although the land area was only about one square meter at most, it was enough for him to stand firmly on it and avoid falling into the water.
“Hey, what is this?”
If it was just a simple change of scene, Su Mo would not be surprised by what he saw.
The problem was that at this moment, the land beneath his feet actually established a special spiritual connection with him.
You have to know that anything that could establish a spiritual connection before was at least demigod level or above.
What is the origin of this land? It can actually have the same effect as a demigod.
Buzz.
An invisible humming sound was heard, and the game panel automatically reappeared.
[Record]: It is detected that the player ‘Suma’ has established a complete basic faith scale in the main wasteland and has a huge number of believers as support. Therefore, the game will automatically open up the ‘Divine Power Island’ for the player ‘Suma’ according to the rules set by the gambling fight, so as to establish a faith sect in the gambling fight world.
[Record]: The Divine Island corresponding to the player ‘Suma’ has been created, please name it!
[Record]: Please note that because the gambling battle has not yet begun, the “Power Island” will be opened at the lowest level. Players can upgrade the level of the Power Island and obtain more benefits and abilities by completing various tasks and achieving targets in the future. 】
[Record]: Please note that before the gambling fight begins, player ‘Soma’ has the right to destroy his own Power Island at any time, abandon the ‘God’ route start, and start the game exactly the same as ordinary players as a ‘Believer’. However, choosing the ‘Believer’ start will not trigger any special gain terms, and once the Power Island is destroyed, player ‘Soma’ will only be able to open it up by completing special tasks.
[Record]: Please note that if the player ‘Soma’ chooses the ‘God’ route to start the game, he will be unable to surrender or quit in this gambling match by default until the winner is determined.
[Record]: Please note that if the player ‘Soma’ chooses the ‘God’ route to start the game, you will become the absolute entity in the gambling world, and other players cannot usurp your authority by special means.
[Record]: If you choose the ‘God’ route to start, you will get the following starting benefits:
1. 50 ordinary believers, 5 devout believers, and 1 fanatic believer
2. A shelter base with a development level of no more than 5
3. The qualification to choose the location of the birthplace
4. The qualification to directly participate in the battle of faith
5. Special reward terms (to be announced when the final battle of faith opens)
Lines of prompt messages appeared.
Su Mo noticed it line by line, and his brows unconsciously wrinkled into a big “川” character.
Perhaps because there are too many Su Chuis in the wasteland, they have spontaneously formed an organization.
In this battle of faith, special conditions were triggered, resulting in a starting route that was completely different from that of ordinary players, and it seemed that this route was quite good.
No,
seeing the clause that one cannot surrender if one chooses the divine route, Su Mo suddenly reacted.
It’s not that his conditions are too favorable, which triggers the special conditions of the gambling scene.
It was clearly a trap set by the aliens, trying to trick him into falling into it!
“No wonder the game clearly stated that I could surrender and that my life would be safe, but the aliens were still so sure that they could keep me in the gambling space. It turned out that they wanted me to give up the opportunity to surrender on my own initiative.”
“Brilliant! Really brilliant!”
“It seems that the humans who gave advice to the aliens have not only carefully studied the many choices I made in the past, but also figured out my thoughts. They know that I must want to win this first gambling fight, even if it means taking some risks.”
Su Mo felt emotional.
No wonder in the past thirty-two games, humans have never gained the upper hand over aliens.
The reason is that there will always be a group of traitors who will defect, and eventually it will turn into a struggle between humans.
Just like now, these people presented him with a choice.
If you want to win the first gambling fight, you must participate in the battle of faith and win.
Is to choose a buff that will clearly help you win, and take the risk of giving up the opportunity to surrender.
It is better to choose the same starting route as ordinary people and rely on your own ability and luck.
“It looks like there are two roads, but in fact there is only one road.”
Su Mo shook his head and casually named the Divine Power Island “Tianyuan Island”.
It is impossible to give up. In the end, you will have to participate in the battle of faith anyway. You might as well use the surrender opportunity that will never be used to exchange for an early advantage to snowball.
And the person who set up this plan must have understood that if the gain was too small, Su Mo would most likely give up.
Therefore, right from the start, these five benefits almost all hit the key points of this gambling battle, and could definitely save him at least three thousand to five thousand survival points in the early stage.
But then again, how do the aliens determine that the humans who give them advice are trustworthy?
Is it just based on the limitations of divine arts?
Or do they believe that desire will definitely determine a person’s position?
Su Mo has a strange feeling that this decision seems to be more risky for the aliens.
If he was the decision maker, even if he added a clause that prohibited surrender, he would never give the enemy such a huge first-mover advantage.
Could it be that there are some of his own people among the traitors?
Burying this unrealistic thought in his heart, Su Mo began to carefully read the background of this gambling world and the detailed rules that could not be seen from the outside.
[Gambling Code]: Nuclear Winter
【Gambling scene】: Wasteland New World
【Gambling Time】: Twelve Years in the Wasteland
[Background of the gambling fight]: After a tragic nuclear war, a special ice and snow disaster swept across the New World, and the ice layer as thick as 20 meters covered the entire New World. The creatures that survived by chance can only rely on heating towers to survive, but they still have to face energy crises, food crises, and survival crises that may occur at any time!
In such a desperate situation, the creatures’ need for faith has reached an unprecedented height. They long for a power that can guide them out of this wasteland and find a new home; they need spiritual comfort to soothe their inner fear and despair.
[Conditions for winning the gambling fight]:
1. The surviving creatures have unified beliefs, and the gambling fight ends.
2. The battle of faith becomes the winner and the fight is over.
“It is indeed a nuclear winter.”
The moment he saw the gambling code, Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
This undoubtedly proves once again that the design of the gambling scene involves a lot of human involvement.
Let me give you a very simple example.
When a novelist designs a virtual world, he or she will not rely entirely on imagination.
If it completely deviates from the original laws of operation of the world, it will be a completely new world that no one has ever seen.
There is no doubt that there will be countless bugs and logical contradictions in this world.
As the saying goes, imagination is higher than reality, but also derived from reality.
Creating a gambling world full of bugs is too risky, and the aliens will not agree to it.
Therefore, the villains came up with a solution, which was to use the wasteland world to progress directly, in order to solve 80% of the bug incidents.
The remaining 20% is laid in the real wasteland, such as the abrupt rise of ice in the north.
With the preparation, bugs are eliminated and the logic is self-consistent.
Only at this time can you think about how to use the various known information to establish your own advantages in advance.
Moreover, the aliens must have seen much more of the world than humans.
But the game’s distinctive name of “Nuclear Winter” is enough to explain everything.
