"Dear viewers, you can now see that as the Sentinel Riders continue to return, they will bring relatively real geographical information about the surrounding area."
Ge Zhaodu, who was currently broadcasting "Land Abandoned by Gods", was showing the audience a small map. The small map was constantly changing due to the information brought by the Sentinel Riders.
Compared with the previous map, some places have not changed much, some places are marked with danger signs, and some places are marked with resource points.
"Everyone needs to understand that the reconnaissance of the Sentinel Cavalry cannot be fed back to the mini-map in time. Whatever they see will be immediately displayed on the mini-map."
"But it will wait until the sentry rider comes back, which will cause the mini map to change. In the game, the sentry rider reports his findings to the team."
"One thing to pay special attention to is that even if it is the latest information brought back by the Sentinel Rider, you should not put absolute trust in it. I have learned a bloody lesson in this regard."
When Ge Zhaodu said these words, he thought of his own experience, and he couldn't help but feel sad for a moment, as if he had gone back to that bad day.
When the game started that time, the self-sentinel rider found a deserted village ahead, so Ge Zhaodu decided to make it the place where the refugee team would settle tomorrow.
The next morning, in order to use the Sentry Cavalry more efficiently, Ge Zhaodu always asked them to go to unexplored areas, and those who could explore were left behind.
After all, there is usually nothing much to do, especially since the village they are about to go to is only a day's journey away from the team.
But just in one night, a terrible change happened there, and it was eroded by God knows what weirdness.
When Ge Zhaodu controlled the team to arrive nearby and saw the village that was eroded by strange things, he felt like shit in his heart. He didn't expect that he was going to be tricked by the game.
Because choosing a village to live in would save time in building a camp, Ge Zhaodu spent more time on the road that day.
This means that when you discover that your village has been eroded, it is too late to go elsewhere because the day is about to end and night is about to fall.
In the end, Ge Zhaodu could only urgently build some residential camps. In fact, it was basically like a team of refugees sleeping in the wilderness without much protection.
It was an unforgettable night. When daytime appeared again in the game world, Ge Zhaodu's team had lost one-third of its members.
This was Ge Zhaodu's first time playing on the highest difficulty level. One-third of the players were lost during the escape stage, which meant that there was basically no need to play after that.
The first highest difficulty loss was in the escape stage, which left a deep impression on Ge Zhaodu, so he explained to the audience at this time:
"It's not that the Sentinels will deceive you, but sometimes after they leave, new changes occur in the local area, which are not reflected on the map."
"Sometimes the level of weirdness that exists in the local area is very high, and the strength of the Sentinel Rider cannot be seen, so he marks this place as safe."
"Ah, by the way, sentry riders can also cheat. Some cowardly sentry riders will lie about their itinerary. However, this kind of thing is generally not encountered. If you encounter it, you can't be tricked. But once you are tricked, it's basically a trap. It won’t come out.”
"So in a dynamic game world like "The Land Abandoned by Gods", the information that the Sentinel Cavalry detects may change at any moment. Whether you believe it or not depends on the player's own judgment."
At this time, Ge Zhaodu had arrived at the camp site, so he began to instruct the refugee team on how to arrange their accommodation for the night. This behavior was very necessary in the doomsday era.
"The situations I mentioned above are still under the condition that the sentry knight safely brought the news back. However, in fact, there is a high probability that the sentry knight will not be able to come back."
"Either they run into something strange head-on, or they are attacked by bandits, so no matter what information they see, we won't be able to collect it."
"Especially since the one I chose is the highest difficulty. Today, three Sentinel Riders did not come back. There are less than a hundred people in my entire camp."
Just when Ge Zhaodu was lamenting his luck, a figure suddenly appeared on the edge of the screen. It was a scarred sentinel rider.
"Hey, there's actually another one coming back! This is why I like "The Land Forsaken by Gods", there will always be various surprises waiting for you."
The newly returned Sentinel Rider was covered in blood, and even one of his arms was missing. He had obviously experienced a tough battle, but he just came back like this.
The sentry rider who finally returned was naturally Suo Jian, who had just experienced a life-and-death struggle. Although he paid a heavy price, he was still the winner.
Ling Mengyu, who had been waiting outside the camp for a long time, saw Suo Jian's miserable appearance. Her heart stopped for a moment and she quickly ran forward to help him.
Suo Jian returned to the camp with the support of Ling Mengyu. Luokas/Ge Zhao did not ask him to report the situation immediately, but went to bandage the wound first.
After a while, Suo Jian's injuries were initially treated, so he limped to Luokas/Ge Zhao and reported what he saw and heard today.
"Oh, this sentry rider was attacked by bandits and even his horse was knocked off, but he was lucky enough to escape. However, when he escaped, he saw that another sentry rider had been attacked and killed."
Suo Jian looked at the text box that appeared above the villain's head on the screen and read out the message reported by the sentry rider who finally returned. It was another sad story.
"If you are seen dead, you are really dead. If you are missing all the time, when will you pop out? I have seen a sentinel rider who was missing for seven or eight days and still returned to the team."
"Even when I played the normal difficulty for the first time, a Sentinel Rider returned after missing for several days, accompanied by seven or eight refugees who followed him."
Unlike the eloquent Ge Zhaodu in the real world, Locas in the game world looked solemn. After listening to the report, he patted Suo Jian on the shoulder with encouraging and comforting eyes.
He did not show any expression of weakness during this process, because in this dark and desperate era, Locas, as the leader and spiritual pillar of the team, was the last person who could not fall.
Of course, deep in my heart, there is a kind of lingering sadness, which is a feeling of sorrow for the death of a rabbit and a fox. We are all poor people struggling in the apocalypse.
Locas walked back to his office, took out the notepad from his backpack, and changed the status of the cable to "returned from serious injury" and the other person to "dead".
The sentries were basically only half a day's journey away from the main force, so it stands to reason that they should return to the camp one after another in the evening. The missing people who did not return would basically be marked as dead after a day.
