In the area where the refugee team is currently located, tree resources are indeed relatively scarce, which is not conducive to building a walled city by cutting down trees.
But ahead, in the era of the Sun God, there was a quarry of good quality, and you could use the stones in the quarry to build your own city.
At this point, the first phase of "The Abandoned Land", the "Wandering Era", is over, and the game has begun to enter the second phase, the "City Building Era".
As the escape team shifts from wandering to settling down, a brand new mechanism appears in the game system, its name is "Cognition Tree".
The world that the refugee team is familiar with is the old world where the sun god still existed, not the cataclysmic world that is about to enter eternal night.
Many of the original rules were changed in the cataclysm, which requires people to re-understand, and their understanding of the world is reflected in the "cognition tree".
For example, there is a cognition in the "Cognition Tree" called "Stay away from the darkness", which means that individuals must not be left alone in the dark. This is an absolute prohibition after the catastrophe.
This knowledge does not come out voluntarily, but requires players to learn it. After many painful lessons, the team can understand this rule.
After understanding "stay away from darkness", there are also some expanded cognitions, such as "light source shelter", which can reduce the probability of being attacked by monsters in the dark when you are in an area covered by light sources.
"This kind of cognitive tree needs to be clicked as soon as possible. After clicking it, the characters will have an understanding and actively avoid some taboo behaviors."
When Ge Zhaodu introduced the "Cognition Tree" to the audience, he heard some viewers thinking: "If any character in a horror movie has this kind of cognitive tree,"
"Then horror movies won't be made."
"It seems like there was a similar complaint when it came to "Ghost Hunter". Qingyu really likes to criticize those horror movies."
When the team of refugees began to build a stronghold, they did not forget to send sentries around, on the one hand to explore the surrounding intelligence, and on the other hand to see if they could bring back anything.
Ge Zhaodu is on the highest difficulty level this time, so the gains from going out are not too much. Most of the time, he just brings back resources, and the number of times he brings back survivors is very rare.
Even if they brought back survivors, most of them were old people and children. Ge Zhaodu felt a pang of disgust at this, and he didn't know how many things he wanted to complain about.
"It's not that I don't have compassion and regard the elderly and children as a burden. I simply think that this situation is really a ghost hunter doing whatever it takes to make it more difficult."
"It's been several months since the end of the world after the cataclysm. You said that it's not incomprehensible to occasionally find an old man or a child, but it's a bit unreasonable for you to bring back a lot of them!"
After all, in the post-apocalyptic era, young adults are the most important resources, and children, especially the elderly, can only be called a burden.
Of course, the burden can also play its role. After all, the Ghost Hunting Studio is not so shameless as to send in a wave of old people who can't walk.
After all, you can still understand ordinary old people. If they are too old to walk, how can they live for several months in a catastrophe?
Therefore, Ge Zhaodu sent these old people with considerable survival experience to do collection work to liberate the young and middle-aged labor force.
In less than a month, a relatively simple walled city was built by the refugee team.
The area of this walled city is not large, firstly because the construction time is too short, and secondly because of the problem of the "cognitive tree", that is, danger is always closely related to population density.
At this time, the population of the team is not large, so if the walled city is built too large, the population density will be low, which will bring danger to the residents.
There are more than a hundred people in the team, which seems to be a lot, but if it spreads out in the city, it will be difficult to see, so it needs to be built smaller.
Besides, this is just the beginning. If the population of the Walled City increases in the future, wouldn't it be okay to expand a new urban area to provide housing?
As for the village, no, the name of the city was named "Hope City" by Luokas/Ge Zhao, a very simple name that entrusted the wishes of everyone in the refugee team.
On the day when the city wall was built, Luokas/Ge Zhao took Suo Jian and other leaders to the top of the mountain to overlook the city wall. For a moment, everyone's faces were filled with joy.
The establishment of Hope City has a different meaning. It marks that they are no longer wanderers. In this apocalyptic world where the sun god has fallen, they finally have a home.
The existence of this city itself is a totem. As long as it still stands in this post-apocalyptic world, it is the spiritual pillar that supports the survival of this group of people.
For example, Yang Wenshou was murmuring the word "hope" at this time. For a moment, he actually had some fantasy and felt that he could survive in this doomsday.
Therefore, so far in the game, the hope of the people has risen significantly, and everyone is feeling joy for the city's establishment.
However, Ge Zhaodu's nagging words told the audience that this is not that simple. The establishment of Hope City is just the beginning of everything:
"Let me tell you guys, despite the fact that the hope level is quite high now, the main reason is that I operate well and I haven't made any big mistakes in this stage so far. The second thing is..."
Ge Zhaodu adjusted the game's perspective to the top, so the audience could see that the sun appearing in the center of the screen was among the thin clouds.
Compared with the beginning of the game, the sun has become dimmer. If you have to compare the sun now, it is just like a weak candlelight in the dark night.
"The biggest spiritual support is actually not the city, nor their ever-glorious and great leader Ge Zhao, but the sun in the sky. This is their spiritual support."
"As long as the sun still appears in the sky, no matter how dim it becomes, it can provide hope to these poor people."
Some viewers will suddenly remember that at the beginning of the live broadcast, Ge Zhaodu once mentioned that "eternal night" will come.
Although they have never seen what "Eternal Night" looks like in "The Land Abandoned by Gods", as long as they look at the literal meaning, it is not difficult to guess what "Eternal Night" is.
Thinking of the gradually dimming sun, it is obvious that the so-called "eternal night" refers to the day when the sun truly disappears and the world completely falls into darkness.
In this world, the sun has a different meaning. It is a symbol of the existence of the sun god. Some viewers can think of what will happen when the sun disappears.
