Ge Zhaodu has mentioned before that in the most difficult games, the first thing to consider when building a city is not resources, but its own safety.
Therefore, when establishing the city defense system of Hope City, Ge Zhaodu's priority was how to defend when monsters attacked.
As for the location of Hope City selected by Ge Zhaodu, there is a winding stream to the west of the city wall, which not only provides the city-state with domestic water, but also can use the river to block possible monsters.
This is only the first phase of the project. When manpower is freed later, he will build other defensive buildings on the narrow river beach outside the west city wall.
"Look at this river beach, which is sandwiched between the west wall of Hope City and the river. The area can be said to be very narrow, but this is not enough. The space must continue to be squeezed."
Suo Jian was standing next to Ge Zhao at this moment. He couldn't help but nodded after hearing the other party's plan. There was no doubt that it was necessary to strengthen defense.
Although it is still daytime, the sunlight is now so weak that even during the day, it feels dark.
At this time, Suo Jian and his party were standing on the west city wall, looking at the distance across the river. Not sure if it was his own illusion, Suo Jian always felt a little heavy in his heart.
Every time I glanced at the small river, I always felt that something terrifying was watching under the black water and in the wilderness completely shrouded in darkness on the other side of the river.
"When there are more people here in the future, we will build a permanent pontoon bridge on the river, and then build a simple castle directly on the other side of the river."
Luokas/Ge Zhao continued to talk about his plans for the future of Hope City: "In this way, it can be restricted to the other side of the river and will not affect the city."
After that, as Luokas/Ge Zhao turned around, everyone's eyes followed him and looked into the distance, which was the direction to the north of the city.
To the north of Hope City is a relatively tall hill. At this time, many extraordinary beings are working on it, cutting away the earth and rocks on the other side of the hill.
"Even though our city is backed by a mountain, we can't let down our guard, so we have to make the other side uninhabited, making it steep and difficult to navigate."
After Luokas/Ge Zhao said this, he walked down the already built city wall and headed towards the tower on the top of the mountain. Suo Jian and others also set off with him.
After getting off the city wall, the group of them entered the urban area of Hope City. The first thing they passed was the residential area, and then the public reserve area in the middle.
The public reserve area is at the bottom of the hillside. There is a high wooden fence here that isolates this place from the outside of the hillside. After the guard at the wooden fence opened the gate, Luokas/Ge Zhao walked towards the mountain.
After a while, they arrived at the top of the mountain and began to visit the tower built on the top of the mountain. This is a very important building in the entire Hope City.
The tower is located at the commanding heights nearby. One of its usual functions is to serve as a sentry tower to monitor whether there are any big movements happening around Hope City.
The other is to serve as a lighthouse. A bonfire will be lit at the top of the tower 24 hours a day, so that even if people nearby accidentally lose their torches, they will not lose their way home.
However, these are just daily functions. In fact, Hope City spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build this strong tower, which also carries an important mission.
Luokas/Ge Zhao patted the sturdy outer layer of the tower, and the crisp knocking sound echoed around, which was so loud that it made people feel a little panicked.
"This tower also carries a mission. Once the outer city wall is breached, this will be our last refuge and place of resistance."
"But this area is still a bit small. As I said, when we have enough manpower in the future, we will dig a basement below to provide them with shelter."
Before Luokas/Ge Zhao finished speaking, he was shocked by the changes that occurred in the sky. For a moment, the entire Hope City raised their heads and looked at the sky.
I saw streaks of lightning suddenly flash across the sky, overwhelming the sun's brilliance, and in an instant the whole world seemed a little brighter.
A few seconds after the lightning appeared, a dull and huge thunder struck, like the drumbeat before the end, which made people feel heavy in their hearts.
And with the sound of thunder, the already dim sun in the sky became even weaker as if it had been attacked by something.
All these things happened in the sky and were clearly visible to everyone. For a while, the people below screamed one after another.
Luokas/Ge Zhao squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky. At this time, someone around him was talking, and everyone's expression was quite ugly.
Because lightning is not a good sign, among the archangels who betrayed the Sun God, one of the rebels had authority over lightning.
The sudden appearance of lightning even startled many viewers: "I was eating instant noodles, and my face fell into the soup!"
But Ge Zhaodu, who has experienced many battles, did not panic at all, and was even a little aggrieved: "It is like this every time. The lightning in the highest difficulty always comes when you have just built the city. This is still a good operation before. Case."
"You ask if the operation is not good? That means lightning appears before the city is built. If you encounter this situation in the highest difficulty, then load the game as soon as possible and start over. It is really hopeless."
Because the appearance of lightning is a sign and a manifestation of a new stage, that is, people now are closer to the era of eternal night.
After all, anyone who has read "Lord of Mysteries" should remember that in the book, there is no day or night in the God-Forsaken Land, only eternal lightning.
The lightning that cuts through the sky now is a warning of entering eternal night. The whole world is getting closer and closer to the real place abandoned by the gods in "Lord of Mysteries".
The occurrence of this lightning incident also placed a very important key issue in front of all the refugees in Hope City.
That was a problem they had been aware of before but had always pretended not to know, that is, eternal night was coming at an unstoppable pace.
Even ordinary people who have not taken the medicine can see that the sun is fading every day, and it may only be a matter of time before it disappears completely.
This is what anyone with a normal IQ can guess about what is about to happen by observing the sun in the sky.
But from ordinary people like Yang Wenshou to high-level executives like Luo KaSi/Ge Zhao, they have always ignored this situation, as if the problem would not exist after covering their ears and stealing the bell.
After all, if we really realize that the sun will disappear, the hope value will definitely drop significantly, but currently it has not, which shows that everyone is consciously avoiding this problem.
But after today's lightning incident, they couldn't even avoid it. They had to consider this terrible possibility.
